Chapter 674: Hit it off
Tang He's evaluation of Taoyuan Company exceeded everyone's expectations, including Feng Jing.
Everyone didn't expect that this Chinese star and super-rich man would have such a high esteem for Taoyuan Company, a small Chinese company that is still unknown in the world, if it wasn't for seeing it with their own eyes, everyone really couldn't believe it.
Feng Jing was also surprised and delighted, she stabilized her mind and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Tang for your high evaluation of our Taoyuan company!"
There was a certain delay in the network, and after Tang He stopped for two seconds, he continued to say with a smile: "In addition to the trust in Taoyuan Company's products, I also have an agreement with a little friend, if the average transaction price can exceed three million Huaxia coins in this auction, our Shengbang Group will obtain the general agent right of Taoyuan Company's abalone products in North America...... I'm going to take this last abalone anyway, otherwise it's not enough to express my excitement!haha......"
The tycoons, bosses and reporters who came to the auction were stunned.
Being able to cooperate with a super predator like Shengbang Group is a great thing that you can't ask for! How can you listen to this old man Tang's tone, it seems that Taoyuan Company is a little unhappy, and has set a special threshold? And after reaching this threshold, this old man Tang is still happy to be like this, as if he picked up 10,000 yuan?
Everyone feels like they're a little out of their brains.
And Feng Jing naturally thought of Tang He's "little friend" for the first time, most likely Xia Ruofei.
She glanced at Xia Ruofei with a smile, only to see Xia Ruofei touch his nose a little embarrassed, looking like he couldn't laugh or cry.
Xia Ruofei saw it very clearly, when Tang He said these words just now, his eyes were staring at the camera, as if he was looking at what he said.
This old man was so bored that he watched the entire live broadcast, and in the end, he couldn't help but spend 1.5 million US dollars to photograph the largest abalone, and praised Taoyuan Company in front of so many guests and reporters.
It's better than any advertisement!
It is conceivable that tomorrow's major media will definitely spend a lot of space to report this detail, after all, Tang He's wealth and influence are too great.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing, this Mr. Tang is really a wonderful person!
Feng Jing could naturally think of this, she was also in a burst of excitement, forcibly maintained a calm look, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Tang Lao for your praise of our Taoyuan company, and congratulations on your successful auction of your favorite lot!"
The auction ended with Feng Jing's brief interview with Tang He.
Feng Jing and Dong Jiajun of Hengfeng Auction House transferred to the press conference hall next to it to hold a press conference to answer questions from those media reporters.
As for the delivery of these abalones, the staff of the auction house is naturally responsible.
Including Tang He's abalone, the auction house will also take good care of it until Tang He sends someone to hand it over.
In this auction, the total transaction amount reached 81.5 million Hong Kong dollars plus 1.5 million US dollars, equivalent to about 93.2 million Hong Kong dollars.
If all of them are converted into Huaxia coins, the total transaction amount is about 78 million Huaxia coins.
The auction house's commission, according to the general standard in the industry, is about 15%-30%, and the proportion paid by the buyer and the seller varies, and in general, the buyer pays more.
In this auction, if you follow Ma Xiong's meaning, it is not a penny, and it is purely a friendship to help.
However, Xia Ruofei still declined Ma Xiong's kindness - it is better to do business or settle accounts with brothers, people have already used their own resources to help you, if you don't spend a penny, Xia Ruofei feels that he can't pass this hurdle in his heart.
In the end, Ma Xiong couldn't resist Xia Ruofei's insistence, so he could only make a discount on the basis of the standard fee, charging a 12% commission, Taoyuan Company paid 5% of the total transaction amount, and the buyer paid 7%.
For example, if the abalone is auctioned for HK$5 million, the buyer has to pay HK$5.35 million when making the payment, and Taoyuan Company pays a commission of HK$250,000 to the auction house from the HK$5 million, and the actual account is HK$4.75 million.
This commission rate is quite low for both buyers and sellers.
So in the end, Xia Ruofei's Taoyuan Company actually earned 88.65 million Hong Kong dollars in this auction, which is equivalent to about 74.23 million Huaxia dollars.
Just the twenty or thirty abalone that were experimentally cultivated in the Lingtu space brought more than 70 million yuan of income to his company, and Xia Ruofei was naturally very satisfied.
Of course, there is also Mr. Tang He's almost unreasonable price increase in the last round of auctions, which raised the total transaction amount, and if it is a normal auction, it should not be able to reach this price.
Feng Jing went to deal with the reporters, while Xia Ruofei sat in the venue accompanied by Ma Zhiming, watching Ma Xiong personally send off the rich people.
If it weren't for Xia Ruofei's reluctance to show his face, Ma Xiong would definitely be willing to introduce those rich people whose combined wealth is more than half of the total wealth on Hong Kong Island to Xia Ruofei.
However, Xia Ruofei wanted to keep a low profile, and the whole auction was just a soy sauce audience.
After sending people off, Ma Xiong walked over with a smile and said, "Xia Sheng, congratulations! Today's auction is an unprecedented success! Your Taoyuan Company has really gained fame and fortune this time!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, Hengfeng Auction House is also beautiful in front of the media on Hong Kong Island!"
"Haha! That's the blessing of Tosha's birth!" Ma Xiong said with a cheerful smile.
He looked at the young man in his twenties in front of him, and he was both emotional and admiring in his heart, he thought that he was still doing a small business at this age, and Xia Ruofei already had his own company, and he would earn tens of millions of dollars in just one auction.
Ma Xiong had to admit that the abalone that Xia Ruofei took out for auction this time was too attractive, if he hadn't bought two in advance through the back door, if today's auction was not hosted by his Hengfeng Group, he would definitely have been unable to participate in the auction today.
Ma Xiong asked thoughtfully, "Xia Sheng, you have already reached an agency agreement with Mr. Tang He?"
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile: "A joke a few days ago, Mr. Tang also bought two abalone from me at that time, and the price of three million was set by him at that time, and he also told me that if it was auctioned, the price would definitely be high, not low, so ......"
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei shrugged his shoulders.
Ma Xiong asked, "If I heard me correctly, you are betting on the agency rights in North America, right?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes." ”
When Ma Xiong heard this, he immediately asked, "What ......about Hong Kong Island?"
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile: "Mr. Ma, now our business in the abalone area has not been fully rolled out, but we just have this idea...... And even if we start farming abalone in the future, we won't be able to have one abalone, two abalones......"
"Of course I know!" Ma Xiong said with a smile.
If one abalone or two abalone are so easy to breed, then those rich people will still break their heads at today's auction?
Ma Xiong continued: "But I am still very interested in your company's abalone! Xia Sheng, if your Taoyuan company starts to breed abalone, can you hand over the sales in Hong Kong Island to our Hengfeng Group as an agent? Our business in the seafood sales part is also quite large, and there are many channels......
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a little flattered when he heard this, his own project hadn't been launched yet! Super-rich people like Ma Xiong and Tang He rushed to talk about cooperation.
In this auction, under Ma Xiong's personal explanation, Hengfeng Group naturally made great efforts, so Xia Ruofei was really not easy to refuse Ma Xiong's request.
Besides, it's just the Hong Kong Island area, although there are more people who love seafood on Hong Kong Island, and the market is huge, but after all, it's just such a small place.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Since Mr. Ma is so loving, then do as you say! Once we start mass production and breeding, I will ask the people below to contact you in advance!"
Ma Xiong said happily when he heard this: "Great! Xia Sheng, you don't know...... Just now, the bosses of the seafood industry have come to me for cooperation, and many old friends who were unable to attend the auction have been calling me without knowing where to get the news...... The demand for seafood on Hong Kong Island is still very large!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Then I will take care of Mr. Ma from now on!"
"Where, where, this is your business to take care of!" Ma Xiong said with a laugh.
"By the way...... Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. Ma, it may take time for our company's abalone to be mass-produced, but it is in the high-end market...... We should still have room for cooperation!"
"What does Xia Sheng mean?" Ma Xiong's eyes showed a look of interest.
"This kind of one-headed abalone and two-headed abalone auctioned today!" Xia Ruofei said, "I think if we hold one or two auctions a year, or even form a routine and hold them every year, it should be able to form a huge brand effect!"
Ma Xiong showed a shocked look and asked, "Xia Sheng, are you saying that you can provide more one-headed abalone and two-headed abalone?"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "If the number is not large, there should be no problem! Of course, this also takes time." ”
"Yes, yes!" Ma Xiong said excitedly, "One abalone and two abalone are rare products, too much will lead to a drop in price, and time is not a problem, even if it is only auctioned once a year, as long as a fixed convention is formed, we can even monopolize the high-end abalone market!"
If Hengfeng Auction House can come up with a high-quality abalone and two abalone to auction every year, it can definitely be said to be a monopoly business.
Because there is only one one, and there is no semicolon!
As long as it lasts for a year or two, as long as everyone talks about high-end and high-quality abalone, they will inevitably think of Taoyuan Company and Hengfeng Auction House.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Then it's decided! After the next batch of top-quality abalone comes out, I'll contact you in advance!"
He also saw the great success of this auction, and felt that it was too easy to make money in the high-end best abalone, and today just the twenty or thirty abalone he experimented with and cultivated brought nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
It is not difficult for Xia Ruofei to want one abalone and two abalones, especially if the quantity is not large, it is completely possible to copy the previous experimental breeding model and use the time flow rate of the Yuan Chu Realm to produce it in large quantities.
It's just that the matter of changing the water is more troublesome, but with Xia Qing taking care of all this in the space, if there are not many of them, it will only take Xia Qing a few days of hard work a year, which is not a problem at all.
Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong hit it off and decided to prepare for such an auction on the eve of the Spring Festival.
Now there is almost half a year before the Spring Festival, and that time period is also the time when everyone's consumption enthusiasm is the highest, and at the same time, the rich people will definitely not mind spending millions to buy a superb abalone to add color to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Here Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei had a very happy conversation, and the press conference next door finally ended.
The media reporters left the scene one after another, and they all went back to catch up with the headlines.
Xia Ruofei is very relieved about the press conference, Feng Jing, who has experienced a hundred battles, will definitely be able to deal with all kinds of tricky questions from reporters, and she will also be able to promote Taoyuan Company in a timely manner.
When he saw Feng Jing's tired face with a smile of joy, he knew that the press conference must have been very successful, and he couldn't help but look forward to the reports of the major media tomorrow.
In fact, now that information is so developed, there are already online media who have taken the lead in reporting it at the auction site.
However, large-scale reports, including some mainstream newspapers, radio stations, television stations, etc., will definitely be concentrated tomorrow.
Ma Xiong, who was in a happy mood, held a celebration banquet at the Hengfeng Realm Hotel to reward the employees of Hengfeng Auction House for participating in the preparation of the auction, and Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing naturally participated in the celebration banquet.
Xiao Huanhuan, who finished the morning class, also followed Tian Huixin to the celebration banquet.
Tian Huixin heard Ma Zhiming talk about the auction in the morning, and immediately congratulated Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing.
And Xiao Huanhuan definitely didn't care about the auction, she only knew that Ruofei's brother's work was over, and he would have time to play with her next, so she was also very happy.
At the celebration banquet, the employees on Hengfeng's side naturally toasted Ma Xiong frequently, and Xia Ruofei also walked to Feng Jing's side with a wine glass, and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, you have worked hard these days!
Feng Jing said with a smile: "The chairman personally toasts, the little woman doesn't dare to be! I should respect you......
Xia Ruofei smiled dryly and said, "Haven't you seen it......?" Mr. Feng, now that the work has come to an end, I still have to stay on Hong Kong Island for a day or two, and you can relax here! Let's go back to Sanshan together in two days. ”
