Chapter 106 French Official Kiln (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Twenty minutes later, everyone arrived at the door of the seventh warehouse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The padlock was reimbursed, the warehouse door opened, and Henry said in a loud voice:
"Gentlemen, let's start the tour, no more reiteration of the rules, you all understand, please!"
At the beginning of the visit, the team of treasure diggers moved.
Ye Tian and Jason stood relatively far back, and the two of them moved forward slowly, chatting with several treasure diggers before and after.
"Steven, will you clean up those two warehouses as soon as the auction is over? I really want to see what is going on inside, to see if the furniture is worth $32,000, that's a lot of money!"
Philip in front of him turned around and asked, with a curious look in his eyes and a little regret.
Obviously, Philip is still a little haunted by missing out on two antique furniture warehouses.
Is the furniture in the warehouse worth $32,000? Ye Tian naturally couldn't be clearer,
That's definitely a two-warehouse treasure, not to mention $32,000, more than a hundred times!
But he is not going to clean up in front of everyone, but plans to bring Sotheby's appraisal experts directly over a little later, and send the shooting here on the spot, and get it done at one time!
Doing so can save you a lot of trouble, avoid having to find a car for transportation, and contact a large insurance store.
And I'm going to Alaska in two days, so I don't have much energy to toss.
"Philip, I'm going to disappoint you, I'm not going to clean up the warehouse right away, there's an auction at 2pm, I have to rush to participate"
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and explained with a smile.
"You're going to the 2 p.m. auction too? Are you going to go there? I don't want to crash with you again! It's not a pleasant memory."
Experience teaches!
Philip had already made up his mind to try to avoid Ye Tian in the auction hall in the future.
He didn't take advantage of this bastard's competition, and he made a fortune alone!
Hearing Philip's question, several nearby treasure diggers immediately pricked up their ears.
Everyone also wanted to hear Ye Tian's answer, and then decide on their next itinerary.
As Philip thought, few people are willing to participate in the same auction with Ye Tian now.
This bastard is too ruthless! Sharp eyes, strong strength, and bottomless pockets, as long as he looks at the warehouse, it will basically not be empty, and others can only follow the trend and eat fart!
Bidding on him? Only a fool would do that!
No one dares to think of this kind of thought anymore, unless they think that they have too many dollars in their pockets and want to kill themselves!
Ye Tian didn't plan to hide it, if he could reduce a few opponents for the next auction, why not!
"I'm going to participate in the Flushing Express Moves container auction, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of auction, and I'm more interested!"
"Fortunately, it does not conflict with my plan, I hope you will make a fortune in Flushing, that is your Chinese territory"
Philip breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the treasure diggers had different expressions.
Maybe everyone had different goals before, but now they are more consistent than ever.
If you don't go to Flushing, you can go anywhere else!
The team kept moving, and soon it was Ye Tian and Jason's turn to check the warehouse.
As soon as he stood at the door of the warehouse, Ye Tian immediately discovered the surprise.
A red light flashed in his eyes, dazzling, beautiful and charming!
Through the intensity of the red light, Ye Tian immediately knew that there were antiques from the thirties of the nineteenth century in this warehouse, and there were more than one!
On the periphery of the red glow, several layers of halos were also seen, showing that these antiques had a lot of artistic value, and they were definitely worth a lot of dollars!
The glowing antiques are hidden in the middle of a pile of debris, and there is no information on the surface at all, this is a great opportunity to make a shot!
Although he was very pleasantly surprised, Ye Tian did not immediately make a perspective, but turned on the flashlight, began to check the surface of the warehouse, and formulated a bidding strategy.
This is a warehouse for an upper-middle-class family, and some things are still very good and have a certain value.
"Let's get started, Jason, this is your specialty, give me the most accurate valuation advice!"
"Steven, this large-screen LCD TV is about ninety percent new, it looks in good condition, the brand is good, if it can be used normally, it should be no problem to sell it for $1,200"
Jason began to perform his job duties, evaluating and valuing the second-hand goods in the warehouse, and providing reference for Ye Tian to formulate a bidding strategy.
"This TV is good, it's not outdated, it should be worth the price"
Ye Tian nodded and agreed with Jason's assessment.
"And this Tennant carpet cleaning machine, about 80% new, should be worth about $1,000, which is very easy to handle in a second-hand store.
......
The value of the warehouse is basically the same, the valuation is about $7,000, considering the cost of garbage disposal, the maximum price of $6,300 should be reasonable, what do you think?"
Jason quickly finished his assessment and began to ask Ye Tian's opinion.
"This valuation is more reasonable, if you bid, use this price as a reference, I will take a closer look to decide whether to bid!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded.
He is very satisfied with Jason's performance today, and Jason does have a set of valuation of second-hand goods, which is worthy of the experience of mixing in second-hand stores for several years.
But this is only a face value, not enough to be used as a bidding hole card.
These things can be seen by every treasure digger, and the valuation will not differ too much, and they have no advantages at all.
Only the hidden value of this warehouse is the real reliance on bidding by yourself, and it is also the biggest advantage.
What antiques are hidden in that pile of groceries?
Thinking of this, Ye Tian's eyes under his sunglasses immediately lit up, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the pile of groceries covered with antiques.
In the next moment, the perspective opens.
Looking through the groceries, I immediately saw the dazzling red light source inside.
The first thing that entered Ye Tian's eyes was a cherry wood box, with a beautiful appearance and exquisite craftsmanship, which was very eye-catching.
This is a piece of modern furniture, which does not have any light in itself, only a shallow halo, which shows a bit of artistic value, but it is also limited!
What kind of treasure is the red glow that is contained in a box!
Immediately afterward, the line of sight crossed again, and the situation in the box was suddenly unobstructed.
A very beautiful, flower-filled set of fine porcelain is presented in front of you.
But this is not antique Chinese porcelain, but a set of coffee cups from 19th-century Europe.
At the first glance of the porcelain, Ye Tian immediately made a judgment.
Because their appearance is so distinctive, it is impossible to be mistaken!
The color style of the whole set of coffee cups is uniform, and the decorative pattern is also the same, which is sure to be a complete set of porcelain.
The main color of the porcelain is blue and gold, embellished with pink vetiver irises, delicate and gorgeous, delicate and intricate ornamentation, a typical Rococo style work.
This style of porcelain, placed in the thirties of the nineteenth century, was produced in only one country, France!
At that time, the Rococo style was the style of the French royal family, and the vetiver iris was the national flower of France.
Obviously, the coffee cup in front of you is from 19th-century France.
What I don't know now is that they come from one of the three major porcelain kilns in France?
With this question in mind, Ye Tian continued to look for answers on several pieces of porcelain.
In his eyes, there is no secret at all about these porcelains, and all the details are clearly visible, including the traces of their use.
In an instant, he saw the name of the porcelain kiln at the foot of the coffee pot, and truly determined the identity of this set of luxury porcelain.
There is a small line of French characters written on the side of the bottom foot of the coffee pot, which is very beautiful.
"Sèvres, 1832"
Seeing this line of words, Ye Tian immediately cheered excitedly in his heart, this is undoubtedly the best result!
Sèvres porcelain is also known as the official kiln of France!
In 1756, it was designated as the official kiln of France by King Louis XV of France, and since then it has only served nobles, royalty, and wealthy merchants, and is still a national kiln in France, with an annual output limited to 3,000 pieces.
Sevre porcelain is famous all over the world, and is known as the two famous porcelain in Europe along with German Meissen porcelain.
In addition to the prominent status of the official kiln, Sèvres porcelain also has a very important feature that makes it different from the rest of the French porcelain!
That's how gilding it works!
Louis XV decreed that no porcelain factory in France should gild porcelain except the Sèvres porcelain factory. As a royal company, Sèvres thus became the only gilded porcelain factory in France.
Because of the very limited production of Sèvr porcelain, its unique gilding process, and its world-famous level of painting, it was highly sought after by the European high society.
In particular, the British and French royal families are super fans of Sèvres porcelain.
Although the coffee cup set in front of you cannot prove whether it is from the French royal family or not, there is no doubt that they came from a French official kiln in 1832!
Moreover, the whole set of porcelain is well preserved, without any flaws, and the ornamental patterns are also very representative, which makes them even more rare, and they are absolutely valuable!
$500,000 up!
Ye Tian is very sure of this offer, and it may be a bit conservative.
In the catalogue of antiques in his hand, there is an introduction to the Sèvres porcelain, as well as the auction price at that time.
The 500,000 yuan offer for this set of coffee cups is based on the reference catalog.
But that was the auction price a few years ago, and now it's definitely going up, maybe it's doubled!
After the visit, Ye Tian and Jason immediately left the door of the warehouse and stood aside to wait for the auction to officially begin.
At this time, Ye Tian had already decided to take this warehouse no matter what and make a lot of money!
But he was not ready to make his own move, but planned to secretly let Bowie bid to take the warehouse.
This can effectively distract you, lest all the good things be taken away by yourself, which will attract both jealousy and a lot of suspicious eyes, which is not a good thing!
Although it was Bowie who participated in the final battle, he could secretly escort him.
In the event of an unexpected situation in which Bowie is out of control, he is always ready to step in and continue bidding to ensure that this fine porcelain does not fall into the hands of others.
Under this double-insurance bidding strategy, winning this warehouse is absolutely certain, and there is no doubt about it!
Wait less than a minute for the tour to end.
Henry stood back at the door of the warehouse, and the auction began!
