Chapter 4
Then how about this? Huang Xuan responded with an "oh" and continued, "My friend's stamps are not convenient to take out directly. Could you please ask your friend to come over? If possible, could he also bring an appraiser? The price will be calculated at market value. If he can find someone to help sell them, I will give him a 5% commission, but we need to sign a confidentiality agreement. What do you think?"
Seeing that Lou Ping had agreed, Huang Xuan then thought for a moment and asked, "What is your friend's surname, Brother Lou?"
Huang Xuan spoke slowly, his tone reminiscent of Zhang Xinyi issuing commands, leaving Lou Ping in a daze for quite some time before he hurriedly agreed.
My surname is Liu, Liu Ziqing
Louping appears to be around 30 years old, with a clean-shaven beard and very short hair that suits his face shape. He naturally recognizes the chairman's young son and, having little to do at the moment, smiles and pours a glass of water for Huang Xuan, saying: "What can I help you with? Come, sit down and talk."
Mom..." Huang Xuan dragged out a long sound, shaking his mother's arm vigorously with both hands. This tactic has proven effective every time.
As expected, Zhang Xinyi was so dizzy from the shaking that she pointed her index finger at Huang Xuan's head in frustration and said with a smile, "If you can keep yourself within my or Butler Zhou's sight and within the scope of the plan, I will take you to the company"
Alright, I will be waiting in the inner room
After a while, Lou Ping knocked on the door and entered, finding Huang Xuan engrossed in a computer game. He said, "I have a friend who works at an auction company. He mentioned that there will be a special auction for postal items and coins in Beijing at the end of this month, charging a 12% commission. Generally speaking, if the stamps are good, there are usually buyers."
It is quite early. Mother Huang is already seated in the dining room
Huang Xuan affectionately sat beside his mother and smiled, saying: "Aren't I here to have breakfast with you?"
Zhang Xinyi has a total of 4 secretaries, along with two assistants, but she usually only brings an assistant and one secretary with her. The other 3 are responsible for handling trivial matters such as correspondence and meeting minutes. Taking advantage of her mother being at a meeting, Huang Xuan sneaked out to find a secretary with the surname Lou, pressed his entire face close and smiled, "Brother Lou, I kindly ask you to help me with something."
"Alright, I appreciate your help, but if my mother doesn't ask about this matter, please don't mention it. We need to be clear on this." This is precisely why Huang Xuan chooses to consult his secretary instead of the housekeeper; if they were at home, Steward Zhou would not be so easy to deal with.
"Where can I go?" Huang Xuan said pitifully, "You said there is nothing at home www.hetushu.com. If you really don't take me with you, what will happen if I starve to death at home? In the end, when I can no longer bear the hunger, I will have to risk my life to break through the blockade set by Steward Zhou and climb over the wall."
Ah. Huang Xuan replied, saying: "There is a classmate in my class who used to collect stamps and has accumulated some. Now he has lost interest in playing with them. The stamps are worth some money, so he wants to sell them. It's not that there are no channels; he just wants me to help him inquire."
As the morning light of the following day streamed through the clear window, the birds residing in the banyan tree began to chirp cheerfully. The butler, dressed impeccably, stood at the door and gently knocked. Huang Xuan, still somewhat dazed, let out a soft hum, shifted his arm uncomfortably, but his mind suddenly became alert.
I will ask for you. Lou Ping also did not dare to answer abruptly, as who knows how much these young masters' collections are worth
The office area of Sifang Group is located in the Bell Tower District, featuring a main structure of 48 floors, along with two additional 8-story annexes, which are newly constructed office buildings. The surrounding area is a well-established commercial zone, housing half of the city's Grade A office buildings. Although Sifang Group has only risen in prominence over the past 20 years, its possession of such high-standard office buildings cannot be separated from the backgrounds of Zhang M. Hetushu and Huang. However, Zhang Xinyi, as a director of the group, has made significant efforts.
The complete set of 50 pieces of "The Entire Nation's Mountains and Rivers Are Red" has only appeared once, and is hailed as a "national treasure." This occurred on October 1, 1997, at the National Stamp Exhibition in Guangzhou, where its estimated value was over 10 million. In other auctions, the prices for double strips or four-piece blocks ranged between 150,000 and 350,000 per piece. Huang Xuan reflected on the information he had researched the previous night and felt that, for him, there was no difference between 10 million or more, and thus asked, "Is your friend an auctioneer? Can he be trusted?"
Huang Xuan heard that there was a play and hurriedly asked, "I heard it sells for quite a bit of money. What do you think can help it sell faster? Please give me some advice."
There have been no auctions for postal items in the past month. Lou Ping shrugged helplessly and said, "Why don't you tell me the types and quantities of the stamps? I can have him ask a private collector for you; that way, the price might be lower." As a professional secretary, Lou Ping had no interest in why Huang Xuan's friend was in a hurry to sell the stamps; even if they were stolen goods, that was a matter for the chairman and his son.
At the end of the month - the chart - the book. Huang Xuan put down the mouse, thought for a moment, and glanced at Steward Zhou, who was sitting far away on the sofa by the door, and said: "It is still the beginning of the month now; the end of the month is a bit late. Moreover, it is not convenient to go to Beijing. Are there any other companies?"
I see. Lou Ping pondered for a moment and said, "If the value is average, it can be sold at the Confucius Temple Post Market. If the value is relatively high, an auction or private buyers would be more convenient." As the chairman's secretary, Lou Ping often handles such matters, such as purchasing decorations or assisting the chairman in managing personal collections, which are considered trivial tasks and are quite familiar to him
Zhang Xinyi chuckled in disbelief and said, "Are you threatening me? And also climbing over the wall."
Of course, it has been a long time since I last went there. The last time I only stayed for 2 hours, and the entire office looked as if it had been flooded. Zhang Xinyi waved her hand and laughed, saying, "I told you not to go out; do you want your dad to make fun of me?"
As for Huang Xuan, he has little interest in the various old jars and bottles in the room, which are said to be quite dated. He came here today specifically to see the secretary
In less than half an hour, Huang Xuan was already seated in her mother's impeccably standard office. As the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, although she had ventured into entrepreneurship, her upbringing at home and her habits cultivated through reading led her to establish this office, which spans an impressive 300 square meters. If one includes the secretary's room outside, this office can be considered one of the finest in Nanjing.
Walking along the road, Huang Xuan attempted to call out to Lorraine, but this guardian of the base vanished just like his voice.
"You are not at home, how can he not follow?" After saying this, Zhang Xinyi also stopped eating, stood up and said, "Let's leave now"
Then I will go to the company with you, as I haven't been there for a long time
"The mouth is quite sweet," Huang's mother said with a smile. "What requests do you have? You cannot go out."
Upon returning home, Huang Xuanmei had a beautiful sleep, of course, while hugging her stamp album
Absolute professional standards, the kind that often requires signing confidentiality agreements. Lou Ping responded firmly; as the group secretary, fulfilling the tasks assigned by the chairman's son is equivalent to fulfilling the chairman's tasks.
At the age of 15, Huang Xuan is still at a carefree age, and now his mind is filled with thoughts of how to sell his stamps, leaving little room for anything else
"Good." Huang Xuan nodded repeatedly and then said: "Is Uncle Zhou going as well?"
Huang Xuan jumped up and said: "I will go up to get something, wait for me to come back before driving." Saying this, he quickly went upstairs to fetch his stamp album
