Chapter 172
The next morning, Chu Yang drove and took Xia Tian to the law firm.
At the law firm, Xia Tian took out two agreements.
"Ayang, these two agreements, one is the commission contract for the auction of three Ming 'Salt Silver' silver ingots, and the other is the commission contract for the auction of ambergris. Take a look and sign below if you have no problem."
Chu Yang nodded and took it and went through it briefly.
The contents of the two contracts are similar, except for the commission ratio.
The commission for silver ingots is a fixed 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, while the commission for ambergris is 10% of the hammer price at that time.
Xia Tian explained to him, "According to the evaluation of the company's professional appraisers, the value of the silver ingots is within 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, so regardless of whether the transaction is completed or not, the commission will be charged at the standard of 4,000 per order."
"And the price of ambergris is between 400,000 and 40 million, so the commission will be charged at 10% of the transaction price."
This hasn't been completed yet, and a large piece of meat has been cut.
No matter what, the auction house will definitely not lose money.
"If it's a few hundred million auction items, wouldn't you make a fortune with just one order?"
Chu Yang signed his name with a pained look and asked casually.
"On the contrary, the more expensive the auction items are, the more advantages they have for the sellers." Xia Tian smiled.
"Oh?"
"Like Sotheby's where I work, there is no commission for auction items with a hammer price of 40 million to 160 million Hong Kong dollars. For auction items over 160 million Hong Kong dollars, the seller not only does not need to pay a commission, but also gets 40% of the buyer's fee for the auction item." Xia Tian smiled and said.
"I've learned a lot."
Chu Yang nodded. He really didn't know this before and had never come into contact with it.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. For auction items of average value, the sellers beg the auction house to sell them at a good price by relying on the reputation of the auction house.
And for those truly priceless treasures, the auction house begs the sellers to auction them. How could it be possible not to share the cake?
"What about the items worth more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars?" Chu Yang asked curiously.
Xia Tian smiled politely, "I don't know. If there is such a day, the head office will send someone to discuss the profit-sharing plan with you in detail. You can tell me then."
Chu Yang also laughed, "It will probably take a long time."
The value of a black iron treasure chest is generally between a few thousand and tens of thousands, and the value of a silver treasure chest is generally between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
According to this rule, if it is worth 400 million, it will jump up several levels.
According to the nature of the system, even if he bought the Safeguard factory, he didn't know if he could open one in his lifetime.
After signing the contract, Xia Tian invited Chu Yang and Cai You to have a meal, a hot pot that was not very hot.
Oh, in the words of Fujian and Guangdong, it is called "da bian lu".
It is a small clay pot pot with soup on charcoal fire, and then meat and vegetables are put in it to eat, similar to a single hot pot.
However, the soup base of the hot pot is generally light, and some are even just boiled water with a little oil and salt. The taste is the freshness of the ingredients themselves, and the taste is basically adjusted by the dipping sauce.
After dinner, it was another afternoon of shopping with the two girls.
In the evening, Chu Yang boarded the ferry under the reluctant gaze of Miss Cai.
When he returned to the yard, he didn't see Chu Xi at home. Chu Yang guessed that he had gone out to have fun again.
He made a bowl of instant noodles casually, and after eating, he lay down on the rattan chair, blowing the cool sea breeze, oh, it was so beautiful.
Unconsciously, I fell asleep, and in my sleep, I always felt a damp heat on my face, as if a girl was kissing my face.
"Hmm..."
He twisted his butt and turned over.
But after a while, the feeling came again.
Chu Yang felt something was wrong, and quickly opened his eyes, and saw a furry face, less than 10 centimeters in front of him.
"Fuck!"
"Hahaha..."
After the prank was successful, Chu Xi quickly jumped away, holding a palm-sized puppy in his hand. It was the thing that licked him just now.
Sailinmu, your first kiss tonight was taken away by a little beast.
"I think you are itching for trouble, bring me the towel." Chu Yang glared at Chu Xi fiercely.
The latter stuck out his tongue at him, obediently went to get the towel and handed it to Chu Yang.
After wiping the saliva off his face, Chu Yang spread his hands.
"Bring it here for me to see."
Chu Xi smiled and put the puppy in his palm.
"Where did this little dog come from?"
Cow Dog Potato
Chu Yang gently stroked the dog's head.
The dog was obviously born not long ago, and its eyes were not open. It was held in the hands of a stranger and hummed in fear.
It's so small, I'm really afraid it will be played to death.
But it feels good to stroke it, the fluff is fine and soft, like touching mink wool.
"It's not a little dog.The name is Potato. Uncle Dalei's family didn't want to throw it away, so I picked it up. "Chu Xi replied.
After that, she hugged Chu Yang's arm and shook it gently.
"Brother, let's raise Potato, okay?"
Chu Yang's hands shook because of her shaking, and he almost sent the little dog away.
"Don't shake it anymore. If you shake it again, my hands will loosen and you won't be able to raise it even if you want to."
Chu Xi stopped, hugged Chu Yang's neck excitedly, and kissed him on the forehead.
She knew that Chu Yang said this to express his agreement.
"Brother, you are the best. "
Actually, Chu Yang had thought about raising something before, but it was too lonely with only two people at home.
But pigs were too smelly, chickens were too noisy, ducks were too dirty, geese were too fierce and would chase people and clamp them, and there were no cats or dogs, so he delayed it.
Now that Chu Xi wants to raise a dog, he certainly supports it.
After she goes to school, she can still keep him company at home.
After stroking for a while, Chu Yang found that the little dog Potato in his hand suddenly hummed hard.
"What's wrong? Is it too hot?" Chu Yang was a little confused.
He had raised dogs in his previous life, including German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Huskies, but they were all well-trained pet dogs that could be raised directly.
This one was born not long ago, and he had never played with it.
"Silly brother, Potato must be hungry." Chu Xi smiled, and then went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of warm milk.
"Can it drink milk now? Don't let it drink to death later. "
Chu Yang killed the fish with a swift knife, but he felt a little reluctant to let him kill a puppy.
"It's goat milk, given by Grandpa Sun."
Chu Xi held the bowl to the puppy's nose.
Potato's pink nose twitched slightly, as if he smelled the milk, licked it with his tongue, and then buried his head and 'smacking' wildly.
"It's still a gluttonous dog, haha, just like you." Chu Yang was happy.
Chu Xi turned around and glared at him unhappily.
Chu Yang pretended not to see it.
After feeding the dog, Chu Xi carried it back to the room, she would sleep with the dog at night.
Chu Yang had no objection, anyway, just don't get on his bed.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Chu Yang heard Chu Xi's angry scream:
"Potato, how can you pull on my bed!"
Chu Yang smiled with gloating, turned over and changed his posture, closed his eyes, and continued to have a tryst with Zhuang Zhou's daughter.
