Three days later, several guests came to Yue Heng's home.
The other party was not an uninvited guest. He contacted Yue Heng in advance and requested to meet.
Yue Heng put the meeting place at home.
After inviting the guests to sit down, he asked straight to the point: "Manager Zhang, what can you do for me?"
There are four people in total.
A middle-aged man with a shrewd temperament, an old man with a refined appearance, and a man with glasses in a suit and leather shoes.
And a beautiful white-collar woman.
They are representatives sent by Taibao Auction House.
The middle-aged man Yue Heng asked was Zhang Xingteng, the general manager of this auction house.
The other three are the chief appraiser, legal counsel and general assistant of Taibao Auction House.
"Mr. Yue."
Zhang Xingteng Su Rong said: "First of all, please allow me to express my deepest apology to you on behalf of Taibao Auction House!"
Although Yue Heng is a minor, he still used the honorific title, and his apology was very sincere.
Yue Heng smiled slightly.
Just yesterday, he received a call from the police station.
The police officer who had recorded Yue Heng told him that the case was basically cleared up.
After Tao Chengxuan, the appraiser of Taibao Auction House, was brought back for investigation, he didn't resist at all, and without any effort from the interrogators, he just poured beans into a bamboo tube and confessed everything he had done.
He used his special status to collude with members of society inside and outside, and defrauded the seller of antiques by means of false identification and low-priced purchases.
Tao Chengxuan's partner, that is, the fat man who wanted to buy the jade pot and spring bottle that day, was cheated and abducted in Miaohou Street before.
It's not the first time that the two of them have done such a thing, and they have cheated many unknowing sellers before.
The amount involved is as high as one million!
And the thin man who got into Yue Heng's house was the fat man's follower.
It is worth mentioning that Tao Chengxuan had already given up his plot when Fatty failed to fool Yue Heng.
However, the fat man himself became greedy.
He asked his younger brother to follow Yue Heng, and then come to steal at night!
As a result, Yue Heng counter-killed him, and finally pulled out the radish and brought out the mud.
Tao Chengxuan was actually a bit wronged.
But it is Taibao Auction Company who is more wronged.
For a formal auction house, reputation is equal to life.
If reputation is lost, it's not far from closing.
Now that there is such a big scandal, even though the company is being deceived, it cannot escape the blame!
Let me ask, once it is exposed, who will dare to bring their own treasures to auction in the future?
What's more terrible is that Taibao Auction House charges an appraisal fee.
If customers who have spent money on items before knowing about this matter, their reaction can be imagined!
Under such circumstances, Taibao Auction House had to send people to negotiate with Yue Heng.
Feng Yueheng's mouth!
"In order to express our company's apology, and to properly resolve this incident."
Zhang Xingteng continued: "We have two options for you to choose from."
"The first plan is, on the basis of signing a confidentiality agreement, we will compensate you 500,000 yuan for mental damage."
"The second plan, we will purchase the blue and white lotus-patterned jade pot and spring vase in your possession with a minimum guarantee!"
Yue Heng asked: "What about the second plan?"
Zhang Xingteng explained in detail.
The second plan of Taibao Auction House is to buy Yue Heng's jade pot and spring vase at a guaranteed price of 15 million.
Then they put it on the September Autumn Auction for auction.
If the auction transaction price exceeds 15 million, the higher part will belong to Yue Heng.
If the jade pot spring bottle fails to be sold, Taibao Auction House will not return it.
In short, it doesn't matter whether it can be photographed or not.
Even Yue Heng can get a guarantee of 15 million!
Of course, the premise is that Yue Heng's Ming Yongle blue and white jade pot spring vase with intertwined branches and lotus patterns is genuine.
This is actually a win-win solution.
Yue Heng won't suffer a loss, and Taibao Auction House still has a chance to earn a commission - paid by the buyer.
Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid risks, the auction house will not provide customers with such a generous plan.
Who let Yue Heng hold their handles!
After Zhang Xingteng finished speaking, his heart was quite complicated.
Taibao is the largest auction company in Taijiang. Although it can't compare with world-class auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's, it still has a lot of energy in the local area.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to get information about Yue Heng, the sufferer, in the first place.
Taibao has thought about solving the problem in a conventional way.
A low-cost solution.
However, after investigation, they finally showed their true sincerity.
? Although Yue Heng is still underage, his background is even more ordinary.
He has a very special identity.
This year Taijiang's high school entrance examination champion!
This identity is both a talisman and a golden bell, which makes Taibao Auction House dare not act rashly.
In addition, according to their understanding, Yue Heng is not an ordinary boy.
In case Yue Heng gets into trouble, the rhythm of the hot searches every minute!
The media must love such news.
No matter whether the people on Taibao Auction House can cover it or not, it is impossible for them to take the blame for what they have done!
Therefore, it became an inevitable choice to adopt soft methods against Yue Heng.
Yue Heng also felt the sincerity from Taibao.
After thinking for a while, he said, "This plan is fine, but I have one more request."
Zhang Xingteng's expression was concentrated: "You say."
"I hope you can keep it a secret for me, and don't let others know that I am the owner of Yuhu Chunping."
Zhang Xingteng was greatly relieved by Yue Heng's answer: "Of course it's no problem."
"We can sign an agreement!"
Yue Heng kept the secret for Taibao Auction House, and Taibao Auction House also kept the secret for Yue Heng.
Both parties are very happy.
So Yue Heng took out the blue and white jade pot and spring vase with intertwined branches and lotus patterns, and asked the other party to identify it.
The person in charge of the appraisal was the old man with gray hair.
He held the jade pot spring bottle and studied it for more than half an hour, and finally said with certainty: "The thing that really opens the door is better than the one sold by Christie's."
Zhang Xingteng smiled - this wave is not a loss.
After confirming the authenticity of the lot, Yue Heng signed a relevant agreement with Taibao Auction House.
15 million was then transferred to his bank account!
During the process of signing the agreement, both parties tacitly ignored Yue Heng's identity as a minor.
Strictly speaking, such a contract has legal risks.
It is impossible for the legal counsel of Taibao Auction House not to know, but Zhang Xingteng obviously doesn't care.
He personally hugged the jade pot and spring bottle, and took people to bid farewell to Yue Heng and left.
Returning to the Mercedes-Benz parked outside, the general manager of Taibao Auction Company breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily.
Although there are still many follow-up problems, if the biggest mine is eliminated, the rest will be solved easily.
But even so, Zhang Xingteng still had a fire in his heart.
He hated Tao Chengxuan, the instigator!
In fact, apart from Zhang Xingteng, there is another person who also has a grudge against Tao Chengxuan¡ª¡ª
