After Song Wanting finished listening, she said gratefully and surprised: "Master Ye, what you said are all valuable commercial secrets, why did you just tell me so casually?"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Business secrets are also divided into people. To outsiders, some are indeed commercial secrets, but to friends, it doesn't matter even if they are commercial secrets."

After a pause, Ye Chen continued: "I am personally very optimistic about this opportunity. With such a good opportunity, it is natural for good friends to share it together. It is impossible for me to eat up all the dividends of Jinling's future development alone. I hope that all of us can work together for a long time in the future and get what we need.�

Song Wanting said gratefully: "Master Ye, Wanting understands."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, and said again: "By the way, the reason why I want to join forces with you this time for the Huichun Dan auction is mainly because I hope that Jiqingtang can take this opportunity to make its own brand influence. Once our auction It will attract the world's top richest people, so Sotheby's and Christie's will naturally fall behind when compared with us."

"More and more wealthy people come to Jinling to participate in this auction, and more and more collections are eager to be included in the auction. As the organizer, we will get more and more commissions from it."

"However, I can give you a promise. No matter how long this auction lasts, the Ye family will only take care of the auction of Huichun Dan. As for the auction of other collectibles in the auction, all of them will be handed over to you Jiqingtang to operate. As long as you do well Good enough, I believe it won't be long before Ji Qingtang's popularity in the auction field will surpass Sotheby's and Christie's!"

Ye Chen's words made Song Wanting's heart surge in an instant.

She has always wanted to expand and strengthen the collection trading and auction business, but she has not found a suitable breakthrough point.

It is precisely because she attaches great importance to this business that she immediately became friends with Ye Chen after seeing Ye Chen use the lost cultural relic restoration technology to restore her own antiques in Jiqingtang.

She originally hoped that Ye Chen could be recruited to Jiqingtang to work for the Song family, but how could she have expected that Ye Chen, who was just a son-in-law at the beginning, turned out to be the young master of the Ye family in Yanjing? Its own strength is even more powerful.

Therefore, Song Wanting's original wish to revitalize Jiqing Hall through Ye Chen has long been in vain.

Since then, Ji Qingtang has not found a better development opportunity.

Although the collectibles industry seems to be too far away from ordinary people, and it is rare to hear any big moves, this industry is an out-and-out profiteering industry, and the market scale is huge.

The turnover of an auction in a major auction house may be in the tens or tens of billions. If there is a super hit, the turnover will be even higher.

Sometimes, just auctioning off a painting can bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the auction house.

The auction is also very profitable, and its profit methods are generally divided into self-operated or commission.

Self-employment is nothing more than buying low and selling high, mainly based on the leak-picking model of the traditional antique market;

The commission is the main revenue channel of the auction.

Generally speaking, the auction company will charge a commission ranging from 5% to 15% for the lot, and the more famous the auction company is, the higher the commission rate will be.

Under normal circumstances, if a famous painting is sold for 100 million US dollars, then the auction will only get 15 million US dollars in commission.

Converted into RMB, it is almost 100 million yuan.

Therefore, the bigger the auction house, the more geometrically it will increase its ability to make money.

Tens of billions were sold in an auction, and more than one billion in cash income from commission alone.

Such auctions are held twice a year, and billions of net profits are obtained.

Moreover, once the auction becomes bigger and stronger, the profits it can bring are far from commissions, but the overall improvement of the entire industry chain.

Generally speaking, under a large auction house, there will be multiple collectibles shops, because the auction house is famous enough, so their shops have a very large traffic flow.

This kind of collectibles store not only conducts the business and sales of ordinary collectibles, but also provides paid appraisal services and paid in-store consignment for individual sellers and collectors.

Many collectibles that are not eligible for auction but have certain value, most of them are sold privately in this kind of shop.

Since the store is open all year round, the turnover accumulated in a year is also huge, and the commission profit is no less than that of the auction. JrNovels.com
