Chapter 663: Commission

Time was tight and the task was heavy, so Qin Heqing did not hesitate after completing the check-in procedures. After a simple bath and breakfast on the ground, he immediately found the phone number of Sotheby’s Auction House and made an appointment with the other party. About the meeting, I took a free ride provided by the hotel to Sotheby's auction house at 10 o'clock in the morning and met the manager of the auction house.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, I'm Marion Cook, the manager of the auction house. I wonder if the lot you want to commission has been brought." Marion, dressed in a suit and leather shoes and dressed like an elite banker, brought Qin Heqing into the reception. Intermittently, he asked.
   "I brought it, it's in the suitcase, do you want to see the manager." Qin Heqing asked, patted the large suitcase beside him.
"if you do not mind."
"of course."
   Immediately Qin Heqing put the suitcase flat on the coffee table in front of him, unlocked the code lock on it, and opened the suitcase
   Suddenly, the golden light was bright, a small pile of gold coins plus a part of pure gold objects and some pottery and stone statues with Egyptian characteristics came into Marion’s eyes.
   "Really beautiful artwork." Marion sighed with emotion.
  However, he did not hesitate in his actions, and immediately took out his mobile phone and called the appraiser in the auction house.
  "Are these all the auction items that Mr. Qin is going to commission?"
   "No, this is only part of it." Qin Heqing shook his head.
   "The rest..." Ma Lien asked after hearing this.
  As the manager of the auction house, he naturally hopes that Qin Heqing can entrust all the things to them for auction, which can not only improve his performance, but also increase his income.
  Not to mention, if there are enough cultural relics, he may be able to use his authority to directly open a so-called Egyptian cultural relics special to enhance the position of the auction house in the hearts of some customers.
  So many benefits are in front of him, he just let it go without reason.
   "Then it depends on whether your bank can offer me satisfactory conditions." Qin Heqing smiled.
  After that, Qin Heqing and Ma Lin didn't say much, and they started talking nonsense.
  Until the experts and appraisers of Egyptian cultural relics from the auction house arrived, they began to firm and evaluate the cultural relics that Qin Heqing took out.
The process is boring and not very interesting. If you change to an ordinary person and don’t know where your thinking is going wrong, you can change to Qin Heqing, a person who has been involved in this area of ​​work in his previous life, but he is very interested in this area. Therefore, not only did he not feel bored, but he also went up with interest, listening to the appraisals and judgments of relevant experts, and learning the knowledge he had not touched in his previous life.
  Until the end of the identification of all items.
   "Professor Mark, how is it?" Marion asked an old man in the expert team.
   "You can talk." Professor Mark replied.
   means that these things are real and the auction house can accept them.
  So Ma Lin didn’t hesitate. After the assessment team left, he discussed with Qin Heqing about the auction commission contract with another expert.
  You come and go, and it was not until half an hour later that the two parties came up with a contract that satisfied each other.
Then Qin Heqing signed a letter of intent with Sotheby’s, and left a variety of papers, pictures and video materials. After all, the cultural relics will be handed over to Sotheby’s for safekeeping, although the other party’s great cause should not cause any problems , Playing the trick of civet cat for the prince, but just in case, the other party wants to play a black hand for him, some precautions are worth doing.
  So the cumbersome procedures are a bit more cumbersome, but Qin Heqing still endured it.
   Then Qin Heqing watched the other party put the collection he commissioned into the underground vault, and then returned to the hotel with Sotheby’s experts to fetch and appraise the remaining Egyptian collections in his hands.
  The whole process took several hours, and it was not completely finished until after three o’clock in the afternoon. All the things were sent into the underground vault of Sotheby’s Auction House to complete the final handover.
  In this way, Qin Heqing has finished processing the main business of Yingguo. After that, he only needs to wait for the auction to start and then take the money.
  But that will not be possible until half a month later, in mid-November.
  So after Qin Heqing rested in the hotel for a while, he picked up the phone in the guest room and called Brenda.
  "Beautiful lady, would you like to take a stroll along the Thames with me, admire Big Ben under the sunset, and then have dinner together in a nearby Scottish restaurant?"
   "Of course, why not?" Brenda chuckled.
  ……
  In front of the city park south of the east entrance of the Westminster Bridge, Brenda, dressed in blue jeans, a brown sweater and a long black windbreaker, walked quickly to Qin Heqing.
   "Hi, Qin, I am not late."
   "No, I have just arrived." Qin Heqing smiled.
  "Are you done with your business?"
   "Well, now there is only time left to wait."
   "Mind you tell me what it is?"
   "Of course there is no problem." Qin Heqing did not hesitate, and simply told Brenda his purpose of coming to London.
   "I really didn't expect that you are still a capable adventurer." Brenda's eyes flashed with admiration.
   "I was just a coincidence." Qin Heqing smiled.
  In this way, the two of them chatted, while moving along the Westminster Bridge...
  The broad Thames River flows quietly under the feet of the two of them, the setting sun is slanting, and the dark clouds in the sky sprinkle a little golden light, to the fog, it looks beautiful.
  But the good times did not last long, and soon the sunset was shrouded in dark clouds, and as the sun went down ~EbookFREE.me~ plunged into the night.
  The moisture is permeated, and it also covers London with a layer of mystery.
   "The fog in London is really heavy."
"After all, there is the sea all around, and coupled with the existence of the Thames, London is basically covered in this dense fog for half of the year. Not to mention that it is still late autumn and winter, and the fog is even thicker, ordinary Foreigners will feel uncomfortable when they first come to London."
   "It is true, the humidity is too heavy." Qin Heqing nodded and agreed.
  Then the two accelerated their pace a little bit, accelerated their way across the Westminster Bridge, and came to the Big Ben on the west side of the bridge. They briefly visited for a while-without taking pictures.
  Because Qin Heqing is not the one who loves to take pictures in China. So after browsing, the two left and chose a good French restaurant nearby to have dinner together.
  As for British cuisine...
Even if Qin Heqing had never been abroad in his previous life, he knew a lot about the dark dishes such as looking up at the starry sky of Yingguo's specialty. He didn't dare to try it, and was afraid that he didn't die under the assassination of Curse Forbidden Dao. Country’s dark cuisine.
   "When we finish eating, let's try to solve your problems." Qin Heqing said suddenly, holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, cutting the steak in a less-standard Western manner.
   "Okay."
