Chapter 51: Mother and Son Dispute
. Xiao Yingchun spoke quietly, unhurriedly, "At this auction, the company sold items worth nearly 30 million yuan, all of which I provided."
"The company took a combined 25% commission from both parties, which means they made around 7 million yuan. Dai Hengxin took 40%, which means they made over 2 million yuan."
"Are you trying to say that only Dai Hengxin can sell my items, and I can't sell them with other auction companies?"
"Or are you trying to say that Dai Hengxin can always collect so many antiques, hold such large-scale auctions, and make over 2 million yuan every month?"
Zhao Chengfeng: "..."
She was middle-aged, but not stupid. She knew her son had only made small profits before, earning money but not steadily because he couldn't get good stuff. It was
impossible for him to easily make millions.
The most money her son had ever made was probably the money he earned from Xiao Yingchun this year.
Zhao Chengfeng suddenly felt a pang of regret: she hadn't expected Xiao Yingchun to be so tough and not so confused.
But she remained indignant. "You should be grateful. You've made so much money thanks to my Xiaoxin, how can you just burn your bridges and sell things to others?"
Xiao Yingchun raised an eyebrow. "My things are mine. Don't I have the right to sell them to others? Why?"
"Besides, Dai Hengxin didn't say anything about who I sold them to. Who are you to tell me this?"
Zhao Chengfeng raged. "Aren't you just taking advantage of my Xiaoxin because he's attracted to you? You're taking advantage of him? What? After you've taken advantage of him, you're taking advantage of him and then taking advantage of him?"
"I'm telling you, the Dai family isn't easy to bully! The Dai family isn't easy to get into!"
Xiao Yingchun gave up the argument and called Dai Hengxin. As soon as he said "Hello," she made a direct request.
"Your mother is speaking up for you here. Please come over."
With that, Xiao Yingchun hung up.
Dai Hengxin, horrified, turned his car around and sped towards the Yingchun store.
Zhao Chengfeng was horrified. "...I was just saying a few words to you, why are you complaining?"
Xiao Yingchun's expression was cold. "You're not my mother, what right do you have to accuse me like that? Since you insist on insisting, let Dai Hengxin do it."
"If he can't explain it clearly, I'll just withdraw my shares and let your son prosper on his own. He'll make seven million a month, all his, and no one else will have to share."
"..." Zhao Chengfeng was choked, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Knowing that Dai Hengxin would be arriving soon, Zhao Chengfeng didn't want to argue with her son in front of others, and even more so, didn't want it to delay his career, so she lowered her voice.
"I misinterpreted it. I apologize. You should cooperate if you want to..."
Xiao Yingchun waved her hand, having nothing to say. "If you have anything to say, wait until Dai Hengxin gets here."
Dai Hengxin arrived at lightning speed, rushing into the shop as soon as he got out of the car.
Seeing Xiao Yingchun sitting quietly at the counter and his parents sitting by the glass door, Dai Hengxin felt a little relieved in his heart: It's good that they didn't quarrel.
But Dai Hengxin didn't know: it's not that they didn't quarrel, but that they had already finished quarreling.
Seeing Dai Hengxin coming over, Zhao Chengfeng stood up embarrassedly: "Xiaoxin, why did you come so soon?"
Dai Hengxin first apologized to Xiao Yingchun: "I'm sorry Yingchun, my mother is narrow-minded and doesn't think things through so thoroughly..."
Zhao Chengfeng was so angry that she wanted to speak again, but when she looked up and met Dai Hengxin's accusing and pleading eyes, she shut up.
Her son was very angry, and he seemed to have preconceived ideas.
Dai Hengxin stepped forward and pulled Zhao Chengfeng away: "Mom, I'll take you home first."
Zhao Chengfeng obediently followed Dai Hengxin into the car.
As soon as the car door closed, Zhao Chengfeng began to chatter.
"I just heard some Master Dong came, and they left you to meet him alone. They must be trying to secretly sell the stuff to him..."
"You're so kind to her, and she's in business with you. Why would she sell the stuff to Master Dong without you?"
Dai Hengxin felt like he was about to explode. His foot on the accelerator and brake was unsteady. He simply pulled over to the side of the road and glanced at Zhao Chengfeng. "Mom, you know Yingchun got all these things, right?"
"I know, but if it weren't for you, would she have been able to sell them for so much?"
Dai Hengxin felt like a fire was burning in his chest, burning it so hard it hurt.
"If she took these things directly to Christie's or Poly, a well-known domestic art auction house, wouldn't she be able to sell them?"
"Could she get a higher price than I'm getting here?"
Zhao Chengfeng: "..." Of course she could.
After all, these internationally renowned companies are backed by countless wealthy individuals, many of whom spend lavishly.
"Now Poly and Christie's channels for collecting collections are public. As long as she takes those things to Christie's or Poly, they can be auctioned off in minutes."
"Why should she partner with me?"
Zhao Chengfeng stammered, "She must have taken a fancy to your channels and wants to use them to make money."
Dai Hengxin sneered, "You mean, those people who came to the auction yesterday never bought collections from auction companies like Christie's and Poly?" Zhao
Chengfeng: "..."
"Besides, didn't I make money? In less than a month, I made more than three million, nearly four million, through her."
"Why do you have to interfere in such a win-win situation?" Zhao
Chengfeng: "...Anyway, I don't agree with you being with her. She doesn't even know who the mistress is!"
Dai Hengxin wanted to laugh even more: "What a coincidence, you and she have the same opinion, and she doesn't agree with me being with her either."
"I guess my auction company is doomed after you made such a fuss today."
Zhao Chengfeng only realized it at this time and became a little flustered: "Son, I don't mean anything else. I'm just angry that she met with Master Dong last night and sold things to Master Dong privately..."
"It was obviously through you that she got to know the He family, and Master Dong through the He family. Why did she immediately get rid of you?"
"She is an ungrateful person!"
Dai Hengxin glanced at his mother: "So what you mean is that even if she wants to sell things to Master Dong, she must give me a 10% commission first?"
"If she doesn't give it, she is an ungrateful person?"
"Then the entire collection circle is full of ungrateful people, do you believe it?"
"Or I will just quit this industry in the future?"
Zhao Chengfeng was speechless.
Dai Hengxin was also disheartened and drove Zhao Chengfeng home. Zhao Chengfeng suddenly seemed to remember something: "Xiao Xin, did you sign a confidentiality agreement with her?"
Dai Hengxin became alert and looked at his mother: "Yes. What do you mean?"
Zhao Chengfeng became even more panicked: "I went to see your grandfather today and told him about it..."
Dai Hengxin was speechless: "...That's great. As long as this matter spreads in the urban village, I can just compensate her with the more than 3 million I just got and that's it!"
"This... She can't prove that I said it!"
Dai Hengxin sneered: "Hehe..." He picked up the phone and called his grandfather.
