Ye Chen's words made Song Wanting's heart surge in an instant.
She has always wanted to expand and strengthen the collection trading and auction business, but she has not found a suitable breakthrough point.
It is precisely because she attaches great importance to this business that she first saw Ye Chen repairing her own antiques with the lost cultural relic restoration technology in Jiqingtang, and immediately became friends with Ye Chen.
She originally hoped that Ye Chen could be recruited to Jiqingtang to work for the Song family, but how could she have expected that Ye Chen, who was just a son-in-law at the beginning, turned out to be the young master of the Ye family in Yanjing? Its own strength is even more powerful.
Therefore, Song Wanting's wish to use Ye Chen to revitalize the Jiqing Hall has long been in vain.
Since then, Jiqingtang has not found a better development opportunity.
Although the collectibles industry seems to be too far away from ordinary people, and it is rare to hear any big moves, this industry is an out-and-out profiteering industry, and the market scale is huge.
The turnover of an auction in a major auction house may be in the tens or tens of billions. If there is a super hit, the turnover will be even higher.
Sometimes, just auctioning a painting can bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the auction house.
And the auction is also very profitable, and its profit methods are generally divided into self-operated or commission.
? Self-employment is nothing more than buying low and selling high, mainly based on the leak-picking model of the traditional antique market;
The commission is the main revenue channel of the auction.
Generally speaking, the auction company will charge a commission ranging from 5% to 15% for the lot, and the more famous the auction company is, the higher the commission rate will be.
Under normal circumstances, if a famous painting is sold for 100 million US dollars, then the auction will get 15 million US dollars just by commission.
Converted into RMB, it is almost 100 million yuan.
Therefore, the larger the auction house, the more geometrically it will increase its ability to make money.
Tens of billions of dollars were sold in an auction, and more than one billion in cash income from commission alone.
Such auctions are held twice a year, and billions of net profits are obtained.
Moreover, once the auction becomes bigger and stronger, the profit it can bring is far more than commission, but the overall improvement of the entire industry chain.
Generally speaking, under a large auction house, there will be multiple collectibles shops, because the auction house is famous enough, so their shops have a very large traffic flow.
This kind of collectibles store not only conducts the business and sales of ordinary collectibles, but also provides paid appraisal services and paid in-store consignment for individual sellers and collectors.
Many collectibles that are not eligible for auction but have certain value, most of them are sold privately in this kind of shop.
?Since the store is open all year round, the turnover accumulated in a year is also huge, and the commission profit is no less than that of the auction.
However, this strong ability to absorb money is limited to the top few big companies in the industry. When it comes to Song Wanting's Jiqingtang, the year-round net profit is even less than 100 million or 200 million.
The reason why Ji Qingtang couldn't do it was not that Song Wanting didn't work hard enough, but that Ji Qingtang couldn't get real good things.
Without enough good things, there is no capital to compare with those top auction houses.
When the top auction houses are auctioning the famous paintings of Van Gogh, Picasso, Paul Gauguin, or Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian and other world-leading masters, Ji Qingtang can't even offer a painting with a transaction price of over ten million.
The reason is that the popularity is not enough, and it is impossible for those big collectors to give things to Ji Qingtang for auction.
Song Wanting, who was suffering from not being able to find a good opportunity, was suddenly pulled by Ye Chen with the Rejuvenation Pill, which made her deeply grateful to Ye Chen, and at the same time couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.
This is because she is very aware of the value of the Rejuvenation Pill. Perhaps there is no collectible in this world that can be compared with the top-level magic medicine of the Rejuvenation Pill.
Therefore, she can almost predict that the auction of the Rejuvenation Pill will definitely create a historical record.
This is naturally a good opportunity for Jiqingtang to make a name for itself.
It is equal to a third-tier star, finally having the opportunity to perform on the same stage with the world's top star, it is definitely a good opportunity to ascend to heaven!
Therefore, she said to Ye Chen very excitedly: "Master Ye, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to make this auction the best!"
Ye Chen nodded, and said with a little emotion: "Although Ji Qingtang?Your Song family's property, but it has extraordinary significance to me So Wanting, you must make Jiqingtang's reputation bigger and stronger, and my fate with it will not be in vain. "
Back then in Jiqingtang, if his father-in-law Xiao Changkun hadn't accidentally knocked over the antique vase, Ye Chen would never have had the chance to get the "Nine Xuantian Jing".
If there is no "Nine Xuantian Jing", today's Jinling, there will only be Young Master Ye, and there will be no Master Ye.
That's why Ye Chen felt that Jiqingtang meant a lot to him.
However, he didn't know that when Song Wanting beside him heard this, she had a misunderstanding in her heart.
Hearing Ye Chen's exclamation, Song Wanting's heart immediately rippled, and the eyes she looked at Ye Chen were like spring water, full of affection.
In fact, for Song Wanting, who has always loved Ye Chen deeply, she has long regarded Jiqingtang as one of the most important places in her life.
However, she did not expect that Ye Chen also felt that Jiqingtang was of great significance.
This made her mistakenly think that Ye Chen's feeling was all because of her.
At the same time, it also made her feel that it was not wishful thinking that she had loved Ye Chen for so long, at least Ye Chen had a place in her heart.
While being moved, she couldn't help sighing a little shyly: "Master Ye Thank you for taking Jiqingtang so seriously Actually, Jiqingtang is also of great significance to me"
Speaking of this, she looked at Ye Chen with affectionate eyes, and said softly: "Master Ye, when I first met you, although I looked like the eldest lady of the Song family, in fact, I was only in charge of the Jiqing hall in the Song family." Business, at that time, I never dreamed that I would become the head of the Song family one day"
"Untiluntil that dayin Jiqingtang, I met you"
"It is precisely because of meeting you that Wanting can live until today and have everything she has today"
At this moment, tears welled up in Song Wanting's eyes.
Jiqingtang is nothing more than a little bit of inconspicuous leftovers in the Song Group, which has a market value of hundreds of billions.
However, Song Wanting had lost her parents a long time ago, and it was difficult for her to support herself in the Song family, not to mention that under the secret suppression of Song Tianming and Song Rongrong's father and son, it was difficult for her to gain a firm foothold.
Therefore, when the Song family assigned the business of Jiqingtang to him, it was tantamount to sending her away with such a small profit.
Song Wanting didn't care about these at the time, she also knew that she was just a girl, and she had no parents to rely on, so she was very content that the Song family could give her the Jiqingtang.
However, what she couldn't imagine was that her life ushered in the biggest turning point in Jiqingtang.
That turning point was Ye Chen.
Without Ye Chen, she might have died at the back of the trapped dragon formation, or at the hands of her uncle and cousin. How could she have survived all the disasters and become the current Patriarch of the Song family? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
