As long as they are colleagues, there will inevitably be some intrigue and small friction between each other.
The reason why Lin Fan thought of this was mainly because this matter was really strange.
According to the time of Wanxiang Auction House, two or three days later, that is, their auction time.
At that time, not only the domestic antique lovers, but also some foreign collectors will come over.
This shows how important this auction is to Wan Xiang.
As long as the auction can be successfully completed, its reputation and status will probably rise linearly and become the number one auction house in China.
In this case, it will inevitably cause the jealousy of colleagues.
The previous Wanxiang was just a little-known auction house, but it turned out to be Lin Fan's jewel of the night.
Let the little Wanxiang become famous overnight, and his popularity suddenly increased.
In such a situation, it was discovered that although some colleagues thought that Wan Xiang would get a priceless treasure like Ye Mingzhu after taking a luck.
It will also make some colleagues feel envy and hatred.
In fact, in many things, the intermediate rake obtained from auctioning an item is only part of the profit of the auction.
What is really important for auctions is the reputation and value of the auctioned items.
Once the reputation rises and attracts national attention, it will naturally usher in more business.
It can be said that this is entirely based on an opportunity and luck.
Wan Xiang is a lucky man. In the past ten years, Wan Xiang has always been a small auction and has never been famous.
It's really good to be able to mix and eat in Delong Street.
You know, in the world of antiques, no one can walk in this deep water.
However, the little Wan Xiang, in just half a year.
First, it auctioned off a Pearl of Night, which made it famous, and now there is another auction on the theme of Garemiy Pirates.
In this way, as a colleague, it is inevitable to be extremely jealous.
Of course, the reason why Lin Fan asked this was to think according to normal thinking.
You know, the auction is about to go ahead, and the main topic is the sword of Garemie.
Under this circumstance, Garemi's Sword was stolen, which inevitably makes people suspicious.
The most important point is that in the secret room where the important objects are collected, there are obviously many other valuable things that I plan to bring to the auction.
But nothing was lost, only this Garemy sword disappeared out of thin air.
How can this not make people doubt?
After hearing Lin Fan's analysis, both Father Zheng and Han Yu were all taken aback, and felt like they had come to realize.
The two looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly.
"Two, did you think of something?" Lin Fan was startled and asked softly.
"Mr. Lin, we were in a hurry just now, and we didn't think of it for a while. After you said this, I, I finally thought of a goal. Although there is no evidence, the possibility is very high..." Han Yu said in a low voice.
"Oh? Come and listen!" Lin Fan said curiously.
"It's like this. Although our colleagues are enemies, we, Wanxiang, have always maintained a friendly relationship with other auction houses, and we have always been in peace. No one would take such a big risk and come stealthily. The sword of rice!"
"Only one person would do such a thing!" Han Yu said.
"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Fan frowned.
"Hey, Xiao Fan, speaking of it, this is also related to us. I wonder if you have heard of Qitian Auction House?" Old Master Zheng said.
"Qitian Auction House? Well, I have heard of it!" Lin Fan nodded.
Qitian auction house has a very big name. It is said that it has a history of hundreds of years. This auction house has existed since the late Qing Dynasty.
Until now, it can be said that it is the leading domestic player, which is not an exaggeration at all.
"This is the auction house. The last time we auctioned Ye Mingzhu, they came to our troubles. Before the auction started, they sent someone over and asked to join us in the auction, but we politely refused.. ...In our industry, joint auctions are not unheard of. However, if such a situation happens temporarily, it violates the regulations and is not responsible for the client!"
"However, because of this incident, he hated us Wan Xiang. After the auction was over, they came to ask for trouble again and again. Especially some time ago, the big son of Qitian auction house actually still liked him. Our boss..."
Having said that, Mr. Zheng kept shook his head and sighed.
They all said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. If such a thing hadn't happened, I'm afraid Elder Zheng would definitely not tell Lin Fan such a thing.
After all, this is not a glorious thing, not to mention that a small friction between peers is inevitable.
"Oh? There is still such a story?" Lin Fan was startled.
"Yes, hey, I never expected that this kind of thing would happen, but we don't have any evidence now, saying that this thing was done by Qitian Auction House..." Father Zheng said cautiously .
"Although there is no evidence, but there is a motive, I remember..."
While talking, there was a sound of high heels stepping on the ground not far away.
Da Da Da Da Da!
Lin Fan and Mr. Zheng looked back one after another.
I saw a girl who looked like she was in her twenties, but she was very beautiful, and was hurriedly walking towards this side.
When she got closer, the girl said anxiously, "Master Zheng, Manager Han, what happened?"
Hearing this, Han Yu showed a touch of guilt on his face.
Elder Zheng also shook his head and sighed: "Cocoa, alas, the Garemie sword that we are going to auction... has been stolen!"
"What? The sword of Garemie was stolen? This, this..." The girl's face turned pale when she heard this.
Lin Fan looked at her, although he didn't know him, but looking at the respectful attitude of Father Zheng and Han Yu towards her, this girl must be the person in charge of the auction house, and even the owner of Wan Xiang... .
"Oh, by the way, cocoa, let me introduce him. This is Mr. Lin Fanlin, who is the client of this Garemy pirate auction!" Old Zheng said quickly.
Hearing this, Lin Fan smiled lightly.
And that girl turned her attention to Lin Fan beside her.
As soon as she glanced at Lin Fan for the first time, her expression instantly stagnated.
A pair of eyes stared straight at Lin Fan, and didn't recover for a long while.
It took a long time, after Father Zheng had a slight cough, that he reacted violently.
With a reddish cheek, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Lin, Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry, for this loss, our auction house will agree with you..."
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone including Lin Fan was stunned.
