Chapter: 3711

"Certainly," Song Wan Ting said with a smile. "It was Mei Mei who told me to ask you. She thought Helena's signal was meant for you from the start, and my view is the same."

Song Wan Ting continued in a tone that was both teasing and serious, saying, "Master Lei, the whole world is guessing what YC is now, and I estimate this hot topic will continue for some time. You should definitely keep a low profile recently, or else people might guess you are YC, which would be trouble."

Lei Chen shook his head with a hint of helplessness, saying, "Let's just talk about the auction meeting instead."

Song Wan Ting saw Lei Chen was intentionally avoiding this topic and didn't pursue it further, speaking seriously, "Master Lei, what specific plan do you have for this spring auction at Qingdan?"

Lei Chen said, "I plan to hold it jointly with the Li family and the Song family. The location will be at the White Gold Palace."

Song Wan Ting asked hurriedly, "Master Lei, if the Li family publicly participates in the auction, won't that bring unnecessary trouble to your identity?"

Lei Chen said, "This time's auction will only have me and Qingdan, and I won't be involved in the specifics. When it happens, what will appear on stage are just the Li family and the Song family. And since the Li family has never done an antiques auction before, we'll rely on you, Jiqing Tang, to bring out all the good items to support the scene."

Song Wan Ting laughed and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll take out the best collection from Jiqing Tang's treasuries!"

After saying that, Song Wan Ting asked again, "Oh, Master Lei, at the auction, when we're selling Qingdan, shouldn't we introduce it and mention your name? After all, Qingdan is something you created."

"Don't need to," Lei Chen shook his head. "The script for Qingdan is already prepared, just say that the Song family received a mysterious buyer's commission in Jinling and is willing to sell two Qingdan items at auction. The Song family is worried they don't have enough strength to handle this auction themselves, so they voluntarily cooperate with us, as for the identity of the mysterious buyer, it's just that they agreed to keep it confidential."

Having said that, Lei Chen detailed his overall plan for the future auction to Song Wan Ting.

Song Wan Ting listened and then expressed gratitude and surprise, saying, "Master Lei, all these are priceless commercial secrets worth thousands of gold. How can you be so casual about telling me?"

Lei Chen smiled and said, "Commercial secrets are divided among people. To outsiders, some things are indeed commercial secrets, but to friends, even commercial secrets don't matter."

After a pause, Lei Chen continued, "This opportunity is something I personally highly value. With opportunities like this, it's natural for good friends to share them together. I won't be able to swallow all the benefits of Jinling's future development by myself, and I hope we can all work together in the long term."

Song Wan Ting expressed gratitude and said, "Master Lei, Wan Ting understands now."

Lei Chen nodded and smiled again, saying, "By the way, this time, I want to join forces with you to do Qingdan's auction because I hope Jiqing Tang can use this opportunity to establish its brand influence. Once our auction attracts all the world's top wealthy individuals, Sotheby's and Christie's will naturally be outdone by us."

"As more wealthy individuals join us at Jinling to participate in this auction, the desire for rare items on display will also grow. And as the organizers, we'll naturally collect a larger commission from these deals."

"However, I can give you a promise - no matter how long this auction lasts, the Ye family will only focus on auctioning off Qingdan's items, while other rare items on display will be handled by Jiqing Tang. As long as you do a good job, I believe it won't be long before Jiqing Tang surpasses Sotheby's and Christie's in terms of reputation in the auction world!"

Lei Chen's words suddenly flooded Song Wan Ting's heart.

She had always wanted to expand and strengthen her business dealings, but she couldn't find a suitable breakthrough point.

It was exactly because she valued this business so much that when she saw Lei Chen using a lost art of restoration technology to fix his family's antique at Jiqing Tang, she immediately formed an impression of him.

She originally hoped to recruit Lei Chen to work for the Song family at Jiqing Tang. However, who could have expected that the original Lei Chen, a mere nephew-in-law, would actually turn out to be the young master of the Yanjing Ye family and possess incredible abilities?

As a result, Song Wan Ting's initial plan to use Lei Chen to revitalize Jiqing Tang also became an illusion.

And since then, Jiqing Tang has never found another better development opportunity.

The antique industry, although it may seem distant from ordinary people and rarely hears about big moves, is actually a lucrative industry with enormous market size. JrNovels.com
