At first, Zhang Yunfeng didn't believe that Su Zhe's ginseng was real, thinking that it was probably fake or ginseng of a low age.
And after seeing the size and weight of Su Zhe¡¯s ginseng, Zhang Yunfeng further believed that the ginseng Su Zhe brought was fake. Because Zhang Yunfeng had never seen such a large wild ginseng.
But after the appraisal actually started, Zhang Yunfeng overturned his judgment.
Because the ginseng Zhang Yunfeng was holding in his hand was real wild ginseng, and the age was not low, at least over a hundred years old.
This surprised Zhang Yunfeng, and he had to be cautious. Zhang Yunfeng used all the tools available, and the results were without exception, which increasingly confirmed that Su Zhe's ginseng was truly wild ginseng.
Zhang Yunfeng didn¡¯t believe himself a little, thinking that he had made a wrong identification. So after Zhang Yunfeng repeatedly identified it several times, he finally determined that Su Zhe's ginseng was genuine wild ginseng, and that it was of extremely high vintage.
This makes Zhang Yunfeng very excited. Being able to personally identify wild ginseng of such a high age is an honor for the appraiser. And Zhang Yunfeng finally had the opportunity to experience it today.
"Mr. Su, after preliminary identification, this is a wild ginseng of a good age. However, the specific year needs further confirmation before we can know it." Zhang Yunfeng smiled sheepishly. He was so absorbed just now that he devoted himself to identifying the ginseng. Su Zhe's existence has been ignored.
Now that Zhang Yunfeng came to his senses, he realized that he had spent a lot of time.
"Then when can the next step of identification be carried out?" Su Zhe didn't mind, because the other party could be so responsible for identifying his ginseng, which was a good thing for Su Zhe, at least the other party was not perfunctory.
"It will be done soon. I will go find other appraisers now. Please wait here for a moment, Mr. Su." After Zhang Yunfeng finished speaking, he ran out of the appraisal room in a hurry. The calmness before was completely gone.
In fact, Zhang Yunfeng usually does not need to do this kind of thing. He only needs to be responsible for the appraisal. As long as Zhang Yunfeng authenticates it as a genuine product, if the next step of appraisal is to be carried out, there will naturally be staff to take the customer there, and there is no need for Zhang Yunfeng to run errands at all.
But now that Zhang Yunfeng had encountered wild ginseng of such a high age for the first time, he did not dare to take it lightly. If Su Zhe doesn't want to and leaves, the higher-ups will blame him, which won't be easy. Moreover, the 420-year-old wild ginseng auctioned by Phaeton Auction House was directly identified by the chief appraiser of Phaeton Auction House. Junior appraisers such as Zhang Yunfeng did not participate, which made Zhang Yunfeng feel a little regretful.
Now I have a chance to make my wish come true. Zhang Yunfeng will naturally not miss it.
Zhang Yunfeng did not go to a senior appraiser for appraisal, but went directly to the general manager. He wanted to inform the general manager of the news first and let the general manager make arrangements.
If this transaction is successful, Zhang Yunfeng will be able to leave a good impression in front of the general manager and make a great contribution.
When Zhang Yunfeng, who was out of breath, ran into the general manager's office, fortunately, general manager Tan Junzhen happened to be there. Zhang Yunfeng's journey was not in vain.
Tan Junzhen looked at Zhang Yunfeng and felt a little unhappy. Before, Tan Junzhen was quite optimistic about Zhang Yunfeng because Zhang Yunfeng worked seriously and was very calm when dealing with problems. Originally, Tan Junzhen planned to wait for Zhang Yunfeng to stay for a while longer, and if he had more qualifications, he would promote Zhang Yunfeng to senior appraiser.
Tan Junzhen did not expect that Zhang Yunfeng would be in a hurry today. He was in a panic, so Tan Junzhen thought that he had misjudged Zhang Yunfeng.
But after Zhang Yunfeng reported it to Tan Junzhen, when Tan Junzhen heard that the wild ginseng brought by Su Zhe was at least a hundred years old, and it was not light, it was at least heavier than the 420-year-old wild ginseng previously auctioned, and it was still fresh. .
Hearing this, Tan Junzhen became a little uneasy. He hurriedly asked Zhang Yunfeng to take him to find Su Zhe.
This made Tan Junzhen less nervous. The previous auction of 420-year-old wild ginseng had given him a taste of the sweetness and gained the attention of the headquarters.
At that time, Phaeton Auction House received wild ginseng from the year 420. Originally, it had been handed over to the headquarters for publicity and auction.
However, after Tan Junzhen¡¯s hard arguments and hard work, the headquarters of Phaeton Auction House agreed that the Phaeton Auction House¡¯s branch in Yanyun City, that is, this Phaeton Auction House, would conduct the auction of wild ginseng.
At that time, Tan Junzhen was even more nervous than the owner of wild ginseng. Before the auction started, Tan Junzhen used all available resources to promote wild ginseng and build momentum for the 420-year-old wild ginseng.
Because if this auction fails, the ideal price is not reached, or the auction fails. Tan Junzhen is a branch of Phaeton Auction House.It will be difficult for the branch to auction high-value auction items. Even if the branch accepts the entrustment, unless the person who entrusted the auction specifically requests it, the headquarters of Phaeton Auction House will ask it to be handed over to the headquarters for auction. .
So the branch¡¯s auction of wild ginseng from the 420 year period was considered a test for the branch and Tan Junzhen by Phaeton Auction House. If successful, this branch will be able to auction high-priced auction items on its own in the future without having to hand them over to the headquarters.
If you can auction high-priced auction items on your own, the performance of the branch will get better and better, and it will receive more attention from the headquarters, thereby getting more resources. This is a very good virtuous cycle.
The difference between success and failure is too big, which is why Tan Junzhen was so nervous at the time. Moreover, this was no longer a simple auction of wild ginseng, but it was also a test for Tan Junzhen.
Fortunately, Liu Xiong of the Liu Group competed with Wang Anguo of the Wang Group, and the final transaction price of wild ginseng reached a sky-high price of 18 million, which finally allowed Tan Junzhen to pass the test at the headquarters.
So now that Tan Junzhen heard that Zhang Yunfeng thought that the ginseng brought by Su Zhe might be wild ginseng of extremely high age, that's why he paid so much attention to it.
When Tan Junzhen followed Zhang Yunfeng to find Su Zhe, he also called a special appraiser to go with him.
Tan Junzhen¡¯s branch has only two special appraisers in total. In normal times, Tan Junzhen would rarely trouble them, and ordinary auction items would not be appraised by these two special appraisers.
Only extremely important and valuable auction items will be appraised by special appraisers. Just like the wild ginseng that was 420 years old before, it was only appraised by special appraisers from Phaeton Auction House.
Now Tan Junzhen directly asks a special appraiser to identify Su Zhe's ginseng, which shows how much Tan Junzhen values ??Su Zhe's ginseng.
