Chapter 1481 send the shot(1/2)
"Then please open it and let me see."
Ito Yukai said.
As the head of the appraisal department of the auction house, Yukai Ito himself is a top appraiser.
"good!"
Since it was taken out for auction, people would naturally see things. Ye Rongyao took the cloth away and spread the painting on the ground.
Anyway, it is not the national treasure of his own country, so Ye Rongyao really doesn't care. He doesn't feel sorry for dirtying or breaking it.
"This is……"
Ito Yukai looked at it, and his whole eyes suddenly glared at the boss, and said in disbelief: "This... this... am I dazzled?"
What did I see? I actually saw the stolen national treasure of the Eagle Kingdom "Compare Alma Tadma".
It was an oil painting created by Lawrence Alma Tadema, a secular decorative master among the Royal Academy painters of the Eagle Kingdom, in 1892.
It is one of the few national treasures belonging to its own country in the Eagle Kingdom.
You should know that the Eagle Kingdom once claimed to be the "Empire of the Sun" and invaded many countries during World War I and stole the national treasures of many countries.
There are the most national treasures in the world in the Eagle Country National Museum, but there are very few national treasures that really belong to Eagle Country itself. This painting "Compared to Alma Tadma" is one of the very famous national treasures.
Its loss is huge for the Eagle Kingdom, so that the Eagle Kingdom government is unable to explain this matter to the people now.
"Is your painting a lost Alma Tadma in the Eagle Kingdom?"
Come back to his senses from the shock, Ito Yukai raised his head and stared at Ye Rongyao and asked.
Yukai Ito was really curious about how this painting "Compared Alma Tadma" was transported from customs to Niben.
Is it a smuggling or...
"Yes, it's the painting "Compare Alma Tadma."
Ye Rongyao admitted it generously.
Ye Rongyao was not afraid of the people from the "Yahai Auction House" calling the police. Before coming here, Ye Rongyao had already thought of many ways to leave this "Yahai Auction House".
Even if the Japanese army comes, they won’t be trapped.
Master Amaterasu, this is so amazing. How did you get this "Compare Alma Tadma"?"
Ito Yukai asked curiously.
"This is nothing to be told!"
Ye Rongyao shook his head and said.
"I'll ask your auction house if you can auction this "Compare Alma Tadma"?"
Ye Rongyao looked at Ito Yukai and asked.
"this……"
Ito Yuki was a little hesitant.
"If it doesn't work, I'll change to an auction house!"
As Ye Rongyao said, he began to organize "Compare Alma Tadma".
As long as there is profit, Ye Rongyao does not believe that "Compare Alma Tadema" will be auctioned without an auction house.
"No... no, you misunderstood by Yitianjun. I didn't say that "Comparative Alma Tadema" cannot be auctioned at Yahai Auction House!"
Ito Yuki said hurriedly.
Although "Comparison Alma Tadma" is a national treasure stolen by the Eagle Kingdom, does it have anything to do with its "Yahai Auction House"?
No!
Besides, the Eagle Kingdom is no longer the "Empire that never sets in the sun". To be honest, its overall strength is not as good as its own country.
There is no need to be afraid of it.
What's more, the Eagle Government is still looking for this painting "Comparison Alma Tadma" everywhere, and even offers a high reward for information about the stolen "Comparison Alma Tadma".
The purpose is not to catch the thief, but to redeem "Compare Alma Tadma".
For the Eagle Kingdom, this "Comparative Alma Tadma" is a face of the Eagle Kingdom culture. If it cannot be found, it will be embarrassing. This government of the Eagle Kingdom will become a sinner.
The Eagle Kingdom knew that "Yahai Auction House" auctioned this painting "Comparison Alma Tadma". Maybe not only wouldn't be angry, but also would be grateful to "Yahai Auction House" for helping them find their national treasures.
I believe that by then, the Eagle Government will definitely buy this painting "Compare Alma Tadma" at any cost.
This is a huge income for "Yahai Auction House".
"That's good. I hope that this painting "Compare Alma Tadma" can be auctioned at the auction the day after tomorrow."
Ye Rongyao said.
Ye Rongyao didn't want to stay in this winter temple for too long, mainly because the temptation of this winter temple was too great, and young girls were coming to the door with their own initiative, of course they wanted money.
As a man with a strong spirit, although Ye Rongyao will not happen to these women, his physiologically and mentally are a kind of torment!
"The auction the day after tomorrow?"
Yukai Ito was stunned for a moment and continued, "Would it be too anxious? This publicity must be a bit late. Why not put it until the next auction time? In that case, the effect will be better."
"No, just auction the day after tomorrow!"
Ye Rongyao shook his head and said.
In Ye Rongyao's opinion, no matter when the auction is placed, as long as the Eagle Government knows, it will definitely auction back the "Comparative Alma Tadema" at any cost.
"All right!"
Ito Yukai believes that Ye Rongya insists on auctioning this painting "Compare Alma Tadema" the day after tomorrow, and he doesn't say much.
After all, the employer has the final say in this matter.
"Yitan-kun, let's talk about this commission now."
"The fee charged by our Yahai Auction House for the consignee is 2% of the hammer price, which means that no matter how much your price is for Alma Tadma, our Auction House will charge a commission of 10%.
Yukai Ito said to Ye Rongya.
The items auctioned by this auction house will charge commissions to both buyers and sellers, and the majority of the commissions will be charged to the buyer.
"Yahai Auction House" charges commissions based on the final hammer price. For buyers, they charge them in three levels: the first level is a 25% rate, and the amount of commission is set at US$800,000 or below; the second level is a 20% rate, and the amount of quota is set at US$800,000 to US$15 million; the third level is a 12% rate is set at US$15 million.
For example, if a buyer auctions an item with a hammer price of US$600,000, the commission to be handed over to "Yahai Auction House" is US$150,000 (60x25%=15).
For sellers, "Yahai Auction House" does not charge much commission, and is charged at 2% of the hammer price.
"good!"
Ye Rongyao didn't have much opinion on this two percent commission.
"Because this painting "Comparison Alma Tadma" is to be auctioned by our auction house, this painting "Comparison Alma Tadma" needs to be stored in our auction house. This is the regulation of our auction house."
Ito Yukai said.
"Isn't this good?"
Ye Rongyao said.
The main reason is that Ye Rongyao doesn’t believe in this stupid person.
If I lose my painting "Comparative Alma Tadma", who can I ask for advice?
The main reason is that Ye Rongyao’s current identity is fake and cannot be exposed.
"Yitan, please rest assured. As the largest auction house in Asia, our Yahai Auction House has no doubt about its credibility. Your book "Compared Alma Tadema" is a depository word for our auction house. We will sign a contract with you."
"If there is any loss or damage, our auction house will compensate you at the preset price."
Ito Yukai knew what Ye Rongya was worried about, and this was also the concern of every owner who placed his treasure in the auction house.
As an old auction house with a history of hundreds of years, "Yahai Auction House" naturally has its system that reassures others.
"good!"
Since this Yukai Ito said so, Ye Rongyao will believe him for now.
If he deceives himself, Ye Rongyao has a way to recover his losses.
"Please wait!"
Ito Yukai spoke to Ye Rongya and explained to Sakurako Kyui beside her.
About ten minutes later, several old men with gray hair came into the reception room.
"These are appraisers from our auction house. They will estimate your "Comparison Alma Tadma". When we sign the contract, we will follow the appraised price."
Ito Yukai introduced to Ye Rongya.
"Yeah, OK!"
Ye Rongyao nodded and said.
As long as everything is done according to the rules, Ye Rongyao has no objection.
