Chapter 3583
"No problem." Isaac agreed without hesitation and said to Jasmine, "Miss Moore, I don't know much about the specific antique auctions so I might have to rely mainly on you for this part. I will be responsible for the preliminary publicity, software development and launch, as well as the whole auction site support. You'll still have to check on the specific process and execution of the auction."
Jasmine hurriedly said, "Mr. Cameron, you don't have to be so polite with me. I'll really feel a little embarrassed if you're so courteous with me."
As she spoke, she added, "As for the specific process and execution of the auction, I will definitely have no problem operating it, but what I'm most worried about now is the selection of the auction items..."
Charlie asked, "What are the specific problems in the selection of the auction items?"
Jasmine said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I'm not going to hide it from you, but although Vintage Deluxe's reputation in the Aurous Hill antique market is not small, we are still just second or third-rate if you look at the national market for a collectible. Therefore, our customer resources and auction resources are not too good, and the collective resources we can find are relatively average. So, I'm afraid that some of the items that we have will not be up to par when it comes to the time for us to set the stage for the Rejuvenating Pill..."
As she spoke of this, Jasmine then said, "The current treasure in Vintage Deluxe is a real painting by Mr. Henri Matisse. However, that painting is not a masterpiece by Mr. Henri Matisse, so its market value is only about eighty million dollars..."
After listening to that, Charlie could not help but laugh, "I was wondering what it could be, but it turns out that you were just worried about this." Jasmine said very seriously, "Whether an auction is upscale or not depends mainly on the value of the collection that has been taken out. Although the Rejuvenating Pill will definitely be able to fetch a sky-high price, if the other accompanying auction items are relatively average, I'm afraid that this will lower the value and grade of the Rejuvenating Pill and discredit you, Master Wade..."
Charlie laughed and said, "That is a good problem to solve."
After saying that, Charlie paused and said confidently, "When you advertise the auction, add a collection message and welcome all those who sign up for the auction to take out one of the most valuable items from their own collections and add it to the auction's lots as well."
Jasmine said somewhat hesitantly, "Master Wade, those who can afford to auction for the Rejuvenating Pill are perhaps the richest group of people in this
world, and they buy collectibles only for their own collection and not to sell it. Moreover, I've never heard of them taking out their own collections to participate in the auction unless it's for some charity or auction event."
Speaking of this, Jasmine said, "But when they participate in charity auctions, it is impossible for them to take out the most expensive collections, and they generally take out collections that are a few hundred thousand to several million dollars worth. The auction money will then be given directly to the charity fund."
Isaac also said with a look of
approval, "Young Master, these rich
people buy collectibles just like old ladies who go shopping in the
market to buy cabbage. Even if everything is piled up like a mountain, they will not sell it
outside. The most that they elThis material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
would
do is to spend some money to set up a museum and then all of their products are put into the museum to be publicly displayed. It is indeed rare to hear of them being willing to take out their collections to sell, so I'm afraid that they will not respond at all."
Charlie laughed and said, "This matter is not difficult. When the publicity begins, you will let the news out to the public saying that the organizer will select twenty of the most representative collections from the registered collections to be put on the auction. After that all the participants of the auction will have to vote for these twenty collections through a secret ballot. At the end of the auction, the organizer will count the votes on the spot, and the owner of the collection with the most votes will receive an additional quarter of the Rejuvenating Pill!"
As he spoke of this, Charlie then said with a bit of contempt in his eyes, "The vast majority of rich people may not really understand art and collection, and they just like to use the sky-high collection to show off their style and wealth or even use the collection to seek the
appreciation of assets, but o
there are higher interests temptations, they will not care about the collection of such extraneous things such as collectibles, and they will definitely bring out the most important thing they own."
Jasmine hurriedly said, "Master Wade... Even a quarter of the Rejuvenating Pill is extremely valuable and so, wouldn't it be a little too wasteful to use it for this matter?"
Charlie waved his hand and said, "If you want to make a big show, this cost will still have to be taken out.
Just imagine, if the twenty pieces we select for that day are all the top works of art worth more than one hundred million dollars, coupled with the final finale of the Rejuvenating Pill, this auction would definitely be an unprecedented one. There will be no one who would be able to measure up to this auction for a long time. As soon as this auction is held, I'm afraid that none of the top auction houses will dare to organize any more auctions anymore!"
