Chapter 18 I am a short seller
"Brother, let me go to the capital with you tomorrow. I haven't been to the capital yet." Xu Meng said expectantly.
"no."
Xu Yongpei and Xu Liang spoke at the same time.
"Your brother went to the capital for business, what are you going to do?" Xu Yongpei lectured.
"Xiao Meng, I'm not familiar with the life and places in the capital right now, so it's not convenient for me to take you with me. I'll take you to play with me after my brother gets familiar with it," Xu Liang said.
Xu Meng pouted and was a little reluctant, but she didn't insist anymore.
Looking at his son with a determined expression, Xu Yongpei was in a dilemma and couldn't help but look at his wife.
"Fuck, what do you think?"
"Liangzi, have you really decided to study art?" Wang Lingxiang asked.
"Um."
Wang Lingxiang sighed slightly, "You are old enough to have your own ideas. We can't forcefully interfere. But going to college is a lifelong matter, so you must think it over carefully."
"Mom and Dad, I have thought about it very clearly. And I will never joke about my future."
The two of them nodded slightly when they saw that he said it solemnly.
Regardless of whether it was in the previous life or now, since he entered junior high school, his parents have respected his decision.
It is much better than those parents who wantonly impose their will on their children.
The next day, Xu Liang got up early.
After eating the breakfast prepared by my mother, I carried my backpack and left the house with my mother's reluctant eyes.
In order to ensure the safety of the cup, Xu Liang specially spent money to book a sleeper.
It took nine hours to get to Beijing and find a five-star hotel to check in.
Although it hurts to spend money, it is better to be safe.
After resting for a night and recuperating, I left the cup at the hotel. He went to Wangfujing and bought a Pierre Cardin suit.
Get dressed up and look at yourself in the mirror.
Although he looks young, thanks to the temperament he developed after many years of business in his previous life, he looks extraordinary.
Wear black rimmed eyes.
The childish face also has a bit more maturity.
Wearing a suit and leather shoes, he was tall and tall. He put the Yongzheng Doucai Chicken Crock Cup into a lockbox and carried it outside the hotel.
The Mercedes-Benz S600 booked through the hotel drove over.
After sitting on it.
"Go to the Guardian Auction."
"Yes sir."
The car started slowly and drove towards Liulichang.
Guardian Auction House, founded in 1993, is currently the largest and most professional auction company in China. Every spring and autumn auctions attract the attention of countless collectors and are also the benchmark for domestic art transactions.
The car stopped.
"Wait for me here."
"OK."
The driver respectfully agreed.
If someone takes care of the whole day, he has to obey the orders.
After looking at the building with the Guardian Auction sign in front of him, he opened the door and walked in.
A woman wearing a cheongsam came forward.
"Welcome. How can I help you, sir?"
"I have something I would like you to examine."
"Please come with me."
After leading Xu Liang to a private room.
"Sir, what object do you want to identify? Porcelain? Calligraphy and painting? Or..."
"porcelain."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Shortly after the woman left, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a black coat walked in.
"Master Fang, this gentleman wants to appraise the porcelain."
After Fang Jingchun looked Xu Liang up and down, he extended his right hand.
"Hello, I am Fang Jingchun, a porcelain appraiser at Guardian Auction."
"Hello, my name is Xu Liang."
"Please take a seat."
"please."
After the two sat down, Fang Jingchun said bluntly.
"I don't know what item Mr. Xu wants to identify."
Xu Liang took the password box and opened it.
"that's it."
Fang Jingchun looked up and his face changed slightly.
After examining it for a moment.
"Mr. Xu, can I get started?"
"Can."
Fang Jingchun carefully took it in his hand and looked at it.
When I got to the back, I took out a magnifying glass.
After watching it for a full quarter of an hour, I put it down.
"Mr. Xu, this is a doucai chicken cup from the imperial kiln during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty."
Xu Liang clapped his hands and said, "Master Fang has good taste."
Fang Jingchun was secretly glad.
He had hesitated just now whether to trick the other party, but seeing that although Xu Liangren was young, he was dressed with extraordinary temperament, so he held back.
Obviously he made the right bet, as people already knew the details of his stuff.
"Please give me an estimate."
"Your Yongzheng official kiln fighting color chicken cup is in complete condition and well preserved. According to the current art market, the base price is 6 million Chinese coins. If it goes up for auction, if you find one you like, I can give you 10 million yuan. Also a possibility."
"I can give this cup to your Guardian for auction, but I am in urgent need of money now. Can you give me some money first, and then deduct it after the cup is sold?"
"Well, I'm just an appraiser and have no right to do this kind of transaction. I'd better let the company's account manager talk to you." Fang Jingchun said.
"Can."
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked in.
After the two parties shook hands, Xu Liang once again put forward his opinion.
"Mr. Xu, we can agree to your request. However, we can only give you a maximum of 4.5 million, and the money will be calculated with interest."
Xu Liang frowned and said, "Master Fang just said that the base price of my chicken bowl cup is 6 million, why did you only give it 4.5 million?"
"Master Fang is an appraiser, and the price he gives is an estimate, not the real market price, and we also have to calculate the risk of failure."
"If I sell this chicken cup directly to you, how much can you pay?" Xu Liang asked.
"5000000."
"Can't you give me less than six million?"
The account manager shook his head.
Xu Liang was a little disappointed. If he could get 6 million, he would sell it directly.
Although he will lose some, he can earn more from the stock market.
But just half a million more is unnecessary.
"Then I'll do as you say. I'll take 4.5 million first and calculate the interest."
The account manager nodded, "Mr. Xu, the interest rate is 7.2%. In addition, our Jiade spring auction is in May, and we have already started promoting it. Your Yongzheng Doucai Chicken Cup cannot participate in the spring auction and will have to wait until ten Come to our fall auction in January.”
"Okay, I get it."
"If you have no objections, we can sign the contract right away."
"No."
After signing a series of documents such as the entrusted auction contract and the advance loan contract within an hour, 4.5 million Huaxia coins were transferred to Xu Liang's account.
After getting the money, Xu Liang immediately went to the sales department of CITIC Securities in Beijing.
As one of the largest securities companies in the country, if they cannot do U.S. stocks, there is a high probability that other domestic securities companies will not be able to do it either.
Then there is no need for him to continue wasting time and he should hurry up and find a way to get to Xiangjiang.
Pushing the door open, he was greeted by a beautiful woman wearing a black suit with small lapels, a black hip-hugging skirt, and slender legs.
Xu Liang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw her.
In his previous life, he was considered an expert in flowers, but he had never seen such a beautiful all-natural beauty. The key was that she had such a good temperament.
But after looking at it twice, he looked away.
Now he only has one goal, to make money, to make money, or to make money with him.
"Sir, what business do you want to do?"
"Can your company provide US stock business?" Xu Liang asked directly.
"US stocks?"
Jiang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
"Yes, we have affiliated U.S. brokerages that can be used to invest in U.S. stocks. However, in this case, the transaction commission may be higher."
Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, which saved him a lot of energy.
"How many?"
"Three thousandths."
Xu Liang frowned. He was indeed a little taller, but it was not too exaggerated.
The handling fees or transaction commissions of securities companies are generally two thousandths or one thousandth, or even lower.
However, after the subprime mortgage crisis, commissions dropped directly to 1/20,000, but that time will come.
Considering that affiliated companies also charge commissions, three thousandths does not seem to be that much.
“Can you provide margin financing?”
"It's not possible in China, but it's possible in the U.S. stock market, but we only provide five times the leverage, and capital verification is required."
Take out your Agricultural Bank of China gold card.
"There are 4.7 million deposits here. You can verify the capital at any time."
I originally had 4.82 million, but I have already spent more than 100,000 to buy a chicken bowl and stay in a hotel.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Jiang Xiaoyang quickly called his colleagues.
