Chapter 558 The Ultimate Lucky Person
There is no doubt that all netizens in China hope that they are one of the three ultimate lucky ones.
Yes, at this moment of the draw.
There is no such thing as ugly angry young people in the country, and there is no such thing as ugly stars in the country who are hostile to Su Chen.
At this moment, it can be said that all the ugly country netizens are fans of Su Chen.
“…”
It is in such an internal and external atmosphere.
Hazar announced the three winning member IDs in front of the live camera.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside and outside the venue was instantly boiling.
At this moment, no one knows who actually won the lottery.
Because the member ID is just a string of numbers that cannot reveal the real identity.
But this does not prevent Su Chen's fans inside and outside the venue from venting their emotions.
“Ahhhhhh…”
"Who is it! Who is the one who won the jackpot?"
“Hahahahahaha…”
“Get rich in one second! Hahahaha!”
"Brother Chen's portrait is worth 10 million dollars now. What about in ten years? Just like what Buffett said, the value may increase tenfold! The winner will have a family heirloom !"
“…”
In fact, there is no shortage of speculation on the Internet about the true identity of the winner at this time.
But this is destined to remain an unsolved mystery.
Because people who win the lottery won’t be so foolish as to jump out and admit that they are lucky.
That would only bring you endless troubles.
…
After completing this step.
The event page entered the intermission.
Of course, at this time, Hazard lost no time in officially announcing that all fans on the scene could enter for free and watch the auction of Su Chen's masterpiece oil painting "Sunflowers".
This received warm applause and cheers from the fans at the scene.
After doing all this, Hazard came to Su Chen.
"Teacher Su Chen, please follow me."
"I will arrange the most distinguished lunch for you."
Su Chen nodded slightly and responded politely:
"Thanks."
I have brought so much to NBC, so it is only natural that I should give him a free lunch.
"Um……"
However, at this time, Hazar did not intend to eat immediately, but raised a question.
"Teacher Su Chen, regarding the auction brokerage fee for your "Sunflower"? How do you think it should be determined?"
Needless to say, this event is all hosted by NBC, and the auction agent of "Sunflower" will definitely be NBC.
However, the amount of the brokerage fee is a problem.
You should know that the initial bidding price estimated by the Internet has reached 100 million US dollars.
The brokerage fee is one point more or one point less, and the difference is more than just a little bit.
That's worth millions of dollars!
Hearing these words, Su Chen suddenly fell silent.
According to international practice, brokers can charge a 10% commission for auctions of artworks such as oil paintings.
However, if the value of "Sunflower" is 100 million dollars, then NBC will be able to take a commission of 10 million dollars?
Such a high commission is really too high for Su Chen.
"What do you think?"
At that moment, Su Chen threw the conversation back to Hazar.
On the one hand, Su Chen did not want to leave others with the impression that he was greedy for money. Although there has always been a saying in the outside world that "Su Chen is a miser", Su Chen would never accept such a nickname. You know, he used to make a lot of money, but it was all for donations.
If someone makes money for charity, can he be called a miser?
On the one hand, Su Chen didn't want Hazar to easily find out his bottom line.
After being in the entertainment industry for so long, I do have some work experience.
"this……"
This put Hazar in a difficult position.
In Hazard's opinion, it is well known that Su Chen loves money. Now Su Chen is unwilling to make an offer himself, but asks him to make an offer. It is obvious that he wants to lower the brokerage commission as much as possible.
Alas, however, NBC has taken such a huge advantage of Su Chen, so it is necessary to give Su Chen some discounts.
"How about this, Mr. Su Chen, we only charge 5% commission."
This is already the commission level for auctioning general items.
This way, I think you will do justice to your teacher Su Chen!
“…”
Su Chen did not answer immediately.
I calculated in my mind, 5% of 100 million dollars, that would be 5 million dollars.
It still seems too expensive.
You know, Su Chen himself came to the United States to participate in NBC's first launch event, and his appearance fee was only 5 million dollars.
Isn't it too much for NBC to take five million dollars just by doing this?
Hazard saw Su Chen's dilemma at a glance.
However, charging a 5% commission is already a very low commission level for auctioning oil paintings.
“…”
At this time, Hazar also fell into silence.
After all, NBC has always been accused by its peers in the industry of disrupting the market.
If NBC charges Su Chen an ultra-low commission again this time, will it also be criticized by people from the auction house for violating the rules of the auction house?
To be honest, Hazar was a little conflicted at this moment.
No one wants to be scolded, right?
However, after looking at Su Chen in front of him and hesitating for a few seconds, Hazard finally made a choice.
How did NBC become so successful during this period?
Isn’t it all thanks to Su Chen’s assists?
If there was no Su Chen, how could NBC have such a strong influence?
Attacks from peers?
Competitors are enemies. When did competitors stop attacking NBC? No matter what he does, his competitors will definitely attack him.
In this case, isn’t it very obvious which is more important?
"Okay! Teacher Su Chen, considering our previous friendship and your great help to NBC, this time, we will only charge 3% of the agency commission!"
"This is our bottom line, it can't go any lower!"
After thinking for a while, Hazar added another sentence.
After all, Su Chen is well-known for his love of money. If you don't maintain a bottom line, Su Chen might continue to bargain.
That would be difficult.
"Okay! It's a deal!"
Hearing what Hazard said, a smile immediately appeared on Su Chen's face.
In fact, he is also very sensible, okay.
He was not the one who would cut other people's prices without any bottom line. Su Chen could still accept a commission of three percent.
"Okay! Let's sign the formal agency contract immediately!"
Seeing Su Chen agreed, Hazar secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Su Chen, the God of Wealth, is really not easy to serve. If you are not careful, Su Chen may get unhappy, and the losses to him and NBC may be huge.
It's not so bad as it is now, as they will earn two million less than Su Chen. However, through this auction of Su Chen's "Sunflowers", the influence and revenue generated by NBC will be more than two million.
If you are afraid of being scolded by your peers, then just keep the confidentiality work stricter.
Anyway, as long as you don't tell others, it won't be easy for outsiders to know your business secrets.
Su Chen nodded.
Ten minutes later.
The two parties signed a formal brokerage contract.
This matter has come to an end.
Su Chen had lunch happily.
Then return to the hotel for lunch.
But at this time, Hazar was not idle either.
He personally came to old painters such as Rodriguez and Galti.
"Dear Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Galti, hello!"
The matter with Su Chen has been negotiated, but the matter with this group of old men has not been negotiated yet.
"Hello, Mr. Hazar."
By this time, there was no hostility between the two sides.
The two sides greeted each other happily.
This made Hazard sigh secretly.
Su Chen’s “Sunflower” is indeed a good thing.
Not only is it very valuable, but it also serves as a bridge of friendship.
The two groups of people who were previously at loggerheads became friends in an instant.
"Mr. Rodriguez, I solemnly promise you here that my promise to open a column for painting and you painters will not change!"
"I will start arranging the relevant preparatory work as soon as I return!"
“…”
This surprised Rodriguez, Galti and others.
Originally, they thought that what Hazar said about opening a column for them was just a trick to deceive them.
Even if it wasn't a scam, didn't the two sides fail to reach an agreement just now?
These old men didn't do any favors or show any respect to Hazar, so why would Hazar be willing to give them benefits unilaterally?
Is there anything so cheap in this world?
To be honest, Rodriguez, Galti and others didn't dare to believe it.
"Mr. Hazar, is what you say true?"
“Are you really willing to give us a column?”
"But we didn't do anything for you!"
“…”
"real!"
Hazard nodded solemnly.
Through the influence of Su Chen's "Sunflowers", Hazar also realized that oil paintings are still very popular in the United States and Europe.
Even if it didn't receive much attention on the Internet before, but through the hype of Su Chen's incident, hasn't it become the focus of worldwide attention?
In this case, going with the flow and launching a painting column is definitely a very eye-catching move with no losses!
In this way, NBC can not only innovate and maximize Su Chen's popularity and influence, but also do these old men a favor.
Besides, doesn’t Hazard have another request that he asks of Rodriguez and these old men?
Hearing Hazar's affirmative reply.
Rodriguez, Galti and others all smiled brightly.
"Thank you so much!"
"Mr. Hazar, on behalf of all the painters in the Ugly Country, thank you!"
"Ugly country netizens will never forget your contribution to the painting industry!"
“…”
Hearing these sincere thanks and blessings, the smile on Hazard's face was enough to kill a fly.
In fact, as the director of NBC, he has heard quite a lot of praise.
But Hazar was very clear that the praises he had heard before were basically just empty words.
Do those who praise him have any sincerity towards him in their hearts?
It’s really hard to say.
After all, commercial flattery is all done with a purpose, so where is the sincerity?
However, the praise from Rodriguez, Galti and others now made Hazard feel the true sincerity.
Um……
But when he thought of his series of goals, Hazar couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
He did this not simply to promote the unpopular category of painting.
“Ahem…”
"Here, I want to tell you something..."
"Regarding Teacher Su Chen's "Sunflower", please give an authoritative appraisal and initial quotation."
Yes, this is also a necessary step.
If Rodriguez and others were not here, Hazard would have to ask an authoritative painter to authenticate and evaluate Su Chen's paintings.
But now, with the vice president of the Ugly Country Painting Association and a group of veteran painters here, Hazard certainly doesn't need to go through so much trouble.
"Of course!"
Rodriguez agreed without hesitation.
In his opinion, being able to authenticate and evaluate Su Chen's master-level paintings was his honor and something he had been longing for!
How could I refuse?
He can also take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of Su Chen.
In the future, when people mention Su Chen’s immortal masterpiece, they may also mention Rodriguez.
What an honor this is!
"no problem!"
“This is a must!”
“…”
Galti and others quickly expressed their opinions.
They had the same idea as Rodriguez.
As long as he is associated with Su Chen's endless masterpiece, he will definitely be able to bring more fame to himself in the future.
Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern.
If you don’t agree, you must be crazy!
So, this matter was accomplished smoothly beyond imagination.
At this moment, Hazar could be described as being in high spirits.
With Su Chen's influence, the world's attention was focused on the NBC platform.
NBC has been established for nearly a hundred years, and he is the only director who can bring NBC to such a pinnacle!
It was 2:50 p.m. local time.
Rich people and collectors from all over the world have gathered in NBC's large conference hall.
Of course, the wealthy people present at this moment are just ordinary wealthy people.
Super-rich people like Musk, Cook, Buffett, and Gates did not come to the scene.
They will participate in the auction of Su Chen's painting "Sunflowers" via the Internet.
Looking at the grand occasion, Su Chen's fans who were sitting there were all very excited.
They could never have imagined that they could gain such huge benefits by participating in Brother Chen’s “Spider-Man” launch event.
At this moment, a group of wealthy people who are well-known in the country are sitting in front of them.
In the past, for ordinary people like them, these people were like mysterious dragons that were hard to find.
Now, each of them appeared before them vividly.
This is undoubtedly another valuable life experience for them.
Watching this scene through the live camera.
On the Internet, netizens from all walks of life in the Ugly Country are already in an uproar.
"Oh my god! Is that Jeff Bezos?"
"Ahhhhh! Zuckerberg is here in person!"
"It's so fantastic! So many wealthy people gathered together! This is a grand occasion that has never happened in any previous auction!"
