Zhang Nan wanted to sleep, and the two women wanted to sleep after the activity, but in the end, neither of them could do so, because Nicole answered the phone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At nearly 12 o'clock, Zhang Nan was still taking a shower, trying to get rid of the sour and vinegar smell on her body, but Nicole walked into the bathroom.

I thought the beauty wanted to be romantic, but I didn't think that as soon as Nicole came in, she said: "I just received a call from the company, Sotheby's will have an auction in New York next week." ”

Zhang Nan frowned, and asked naked, "Do you want to leave early?"

I thought that Sotheby's got some important Chinese cultural relics, so it was not good to break the original plan: after Chinese New Year's Eve, I would stay at home for two more days, and then go to the capital, which was all arranged.

Even Jiang Aihua has already been notified and booked the entire building in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

"No, I don't. Nicole smiled and said, "It's not an antique, it's a pear-shaped yellow diamond." Didn't you say before that you should be notified if there are the world's top diamonds and rubies in the auction house, I left a message in the company before coming to Huaxia.

The professional auction commission company with which we have always been in a relationship will give us a piece of information every once in a while, and the top art and jewelry auction information in the United States and even the world will be available, and it will be professionally screened in advance. ”

Zhang Nan said this: Now that he is super-rich, he has almost reached the top level, and if there are not a few top diamonds and rubies to decorate the façade, there seems to be something shortcoming.

Besides, when her woman attends some important occasions, she can't be too shabby - the actual operator of a financial investment company with a net worth of more than $1 billion on the surface must also have some jewelry worthy of it.

I also asked Nicole and Jenny to go to several big jewelers in New York to choose by themselves, and each of them bought hundreds of thousands of jewelry for themselves.

It's already upscale, but not top-notch!

If you want top-quality goods, you have to wait for the opportunity, and you can't buy the best jewelry at the counter, and even if you do, it's easy to be wronged.

There were several jewelry auctions in New York before Christmas, but there was a ring with a starting price of 3 million Nicole and Jenny who didn't like its style, and the other diamonds and ruby necklaces with millions of dollars were of high grade, but they were not much more conspicuous than the original jewelry of the two.

In addition, the two women are not particularly showy people, and after looking at the information of several auctions, they did not let the consignment company make a move.

As for the several art auctions, the two women were not involved: neither was in New York, and they had no time.

So why don't Zhang Nan's lists have sapphires and emeralds?

Personal reasons.

This collection of top-level diamonds and rubies, Zhang Nan does not add value at all, just to save face.

Of course, in the 80s, eating top jewelry, although the investment efficiency is not as good as investing in art, it will definitely increase in value, and the income is much higher than that of depositing in the bank!

It's even much bigger than buying the top performance stocks of big companies, and it's not impossible to multiply it for you ten times in ten years.

As for why there are no sapphires and emeralds, the two top gemstones that Westerners like, it is because Zhang Nan is not very interested in blue, and his interest is average: in his last life, his wife had diamond rings and ruby rings, but Zhang Nan did not buy sapphire rings.

More importantly, sapphire was later misunderstood in the eyes of Chinese people, and was often mistaken for inferior grade ruby, and Zhang Nan was actually misled by this relatively wrong view: twenty years later, the Chinese market was flooded with domestic, heat-treated, and low-priced sapphires.

These problematic sapphires look very good, but they have no value preservation function at all, which makes the vast majority of Chinese people subconsciously think that the sapphire grade is not high!

In fact, this view is wrong, including Zhang Nan, the vast majority of Chinese people have never been exposed to real high-grade sapphires - they can definitely be beautiful!

Some Chinese people for their own interests, their own destruction of the Chinese sapphire market to the face of unrecognizable, in the end the common people do not want to buy, anyway, buy other gems are the same, and the initiator finally almost fell to the level of self-amusement, self-repercussions!

Just like jadeite, the low-end market has been played off by reprocessed B goods and C goods after more than 20 years: before rebirth, friends often asked Zhang Nan what jadeite to buy.

"Buy a bracelet for your wife?"

"Hmm. ”

"What grade to buy?"

"One or twenty thousand. ”

At this time, Zhang Nan would unceremoniously advise his friend: "Then buy a pure gold bracelet, this money is enough, and it will retain its value." Don't go to big shopping malls and big gold stores, where the store rent and salesman's salary are seventy or eighty yuan a gram more expensive than the purchase price.

I introduce you to the familiar Xiaojin Building, each gram of people can earn you up to 30, the same color and brand, the same place to buy goods.

I won't introduce you to the cheaper jade bracelet, and I guarantee that you won't be able to sell it for 2,000 if you buy it for 10,000!

Don't buy a jade bracelet if you don't have a hundred thousand, it's not very interesting!

If you plan for 50,000 yuan, I will help you find an old Hetian jade bracelet, the quality of the old bag is also acceptable, don't buy the new 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, even if I come forward to you, it is basically mountain material.

If it is a new Hetian jade bracelet with 10,000 pieces, this origin is within 1,000 kilometers of Hetian, even if the jade seller has a conscience!"

It's very shocking, right, that's the case: some crooked guys in the jade industry have taken advantage of the low-end mass market in their own industry, Zhang Nan is a conscience to his friends.

The jade bracelet, more than 100,000 or 200,000 is the mid-range goods, and the high-end ones have long been millions!

Those hundreds of dollars each, transparency and color are good, in the early nineties this price can buy real and good goods, in the 21st century is the price of the those, you are not afraid of chemical toxins and legendary radiation you wear it!

……

However, this Zhang Nan is not interested in blue, if he is not impressed, it is estimated that even the blue treasure of the "Heart of the Ocean" level will not feel much in front of his eyes.

As for emeralds......

Hehe, Zhang Nan is a Chinese in his bones, although after more than 20 years, he often dies in the status quo of black jadeite, but now in the next few years, let alone going to Myanmar, after a year or two, you can find imperial green jadeite in Ruili!

Westerners love emeralds, and Chinese people definitely prefer jadeite for green stones.

Zhang Nan's hometown of Yan County later produced a jade king, but the base is in Shanghai: "Zhang Tiejun Jewelry" brand may not be particularly famous in other categories of the jewelry industry, but in the jade category, not to mention famous in China, even the Chinese circle around the world is a well-known brand!

Especially for this brand of high-end jadeite products, many foreign rich Chinese will make a special trip to Shanghai to buy: the quality is guaranteed.

Zhang Nan and he knew him, although it was not the kind that had a particularly good relationship, but it was also familiar.

I have seen tens of millions, or even tens of millions, of emperors full of green jade bracelets in Zhang Tiejun, and the amazing beauty cannot be fully described in words!

In fact, not to mention bracelets, many times even a top-quality jade ring can capture people's souls......

Some people like to play jade and gamble on stones, but Zhang Nan didn't gamble on stones before he was reborn, because he didn't know how to gamble on stones at all!

And I think my gambling luck has been rotten to death, and when I touch it, I will definitely lose everything!

Collectors and dealers who really play antiques will definitely draw a line with gambling stones, and at most they will spend a little money at will.

Because playing antiques must not carry a little "gambling" nature: if you play this with a little "gambling", then this person is either a mallet or a psychopath!

Antiques should be 100% accurate before starting, relying on "gambling"?

You better stop playing, or you will lose and you won't even know your mother!

Not gambling on stones does not mean that Zhang Nan does not like jade: I have thought about it for a long time, when the time comes, I will go to Ruili or go directly to Myanmar, we don't understand the gambling materials, and it is still okay to buy some bright materials.

It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about gambling stones, it is clear that Zhang Nan will not be blind, at least ABC will definitely not be mistaken, and the first shipment price can also be touched.

Besides, I heard Jiang Aihua say that there are old masters of jadeite in the capital, and it is said that there are two masters who just retired two years ago, and they are said to be known as "fiery eyes and golden eyes", and they are not awesome......

If you really want to go to Myanmar to play around, pull that boy brother, and hire one or two palm masters, you won't lose to your grandma's family.

Let professional people do professional things, and just happily "play" on the side.

……

"How old?"

"The world's largest yellow diamond to date, called 'Unparalleled', weighs 407.48 carats, is pear-cut, and has a very high purity. ”

Over 400 carats, that's over 80 grams!

Giant Diamond!

When Zhang Nan heard this, he quickly dried himself, and asked while putting on his clothes: "How much is the estimate?"

"The starting bid was $8 million, with auction houses and industry insiders estimating the final price to be between $10 million and $12 million. If you want to see the information, you can fly it over tomorrow. ”

"You don't need color materials, let them send them a fax. ”

This puts her in working mode, and Nicole immediately goes to the study, where there is a fax machine. I dialed the phone in the United States again, and a few minutes later, several text documents and a few black-and-white photos were transmitted.

Zhang Nan looked at the information, this giant diamond was produced in Zaire, cut and polished by the top diamond processors in Antwerp, Belgium, and it took two years from design to final completion!

After reading the information, this is a spectrum.

The two women will be waiting for Zhang Nan's decision in the study, women have an innate love for top jewelry, and they don't think about the question of who should wear only one diamond: Or you use it for a period of time, and then return it to me for two months?

Fortunately, Nicole and the two were not cheesy enough to discuss the diamond in front of their own men, so they looked at Zhang Nan and read the information.

Putting down the fax photo in his hand, he saw the slightly expectant eyes of the two women.

"What, want?"

At this time, even Nicole and Jenny, who had seen billions of funds, were embarrassed and nodded.

"If you like it, buy it. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the two women, Zhang Nan added: "Don't be too happy, this diamond has not yet matched the necklace, and the top jewelry design company in New York should design and customize the entire necklace."

Moreover, you two can only wear this diamond, and I will give it away as a gift.

In the future, if you look at any other diamond, tell me that if it is suitable, you will buy it. ”

The two beauties were still happy in the first half, but they couldn't figure it out in the middle, and they couldn't be happy even if there was compensation in the end.

"A farewell woman?"

Nicole and the two are not so superficial, they both said that the two of them can wear it, so it is not another woman.

Jenny asked weakly, "To whom?"

Zhang Nan showed a smile as warm as the spring sunshine on his face, but the focus of his eyes was a little problematic, "Do you remember the fairytale villa I took you to see in Shanghai? This diamond will also belong to the same person." ”

"Villa Mahler, to whom?"

I brought two American women because I needed to invite the world's top Nordic castle ancient building restoration designer, so I wanted Nicole to have a general impression of Jenny.

Zhang Nan showed a very strange expression and said, "My daughter." ”

"Why didn't we see her...?"

Unlike Chinese women, Nicole and Jenny didn't suddenly find out that their man had a daughter before hysteria, and thought that the child was living with her mother.

It's not surprising that fathers are teenagers, and it's not uncommon in the United States: many states can marry at the age of 16, and states like Idaho, Mississippi, New Jersey and Washington allow boys as old as 14 and girls as old as 12 to marry – and it's not surprising that children born out of wedlock are common.

But now that we've said that, Nicole also feels the need to ask, "Does the child live with her mother?"

Zhang Nan's thinking seemed to be a little erratic, and he replied: "Yes, it's a pity that they are not in this world." ”

After finishing speaking, he reacted, and his eyes successfully focused, and when he saw Nicole and Jenny looking at him with a full maternal look, he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

"Not to mention this, these are for my future daughter. ”

After speaking, he thought about it and said: "I estimate that 12 million can't be stopped, notify the agent, 20 million capped." ”

Zhang Nan knew that the diamond was finally sold for $12.8 million in 1988, and with his own participation, the price was expected to rise.

He wanted this diamond because his daughter also had a similar one: the handicraft of crystal glass, and his daughter's treasure was an "incomparable" imitation at all.

The daughter called it "Star".

As for the agent coming forward, it was a small tacit understanding between the rich - if they faced each other with gongs and drums, sometimes women would lose their minds for the jewels and finally shout an extremely outrageous price!

If that happens, not to mention spending money on a piece of jewelry, the rich people who participate in the auction may still make a feud for a thing, and they can't do it at all!

The super-rich will try to avoid it.

As for the auction outcry, as long as the consignor gives the final cap price, the agent will never waste a penny on the consignor - because the commission of this special agent is calculated inversely from the final transaction price!

The higher the transaction price, the lower the commission!

There is a reserve price, plus a set of slightly complicated commission calculation methods, and some agents go to the auction to fight psychological warfare.

With a cap of $20 million, there is no problem in winning the diamond: compared to the cash that can be collected in a short period of time, few people in the United States can compare with Zhang Nan.

Nowadays, there are not many people who are willing to buy tens of millions of dollars for diamonds.

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"That's it, you guys go to bed early, and I'll go outside. ”

Nicole and Jenny tried to talk, but in the end neither of them spoke: in another world—it would be best not to disturb him.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I was a little cold in the face of the cold wind, and I rubbed my face.

Alyosha came out of nowhere.

"Didn't accompany the children?"

"I was on duty with Karimi in the evening. ”

"The thieves don't dare to come, and the same goes for the Jiangyang thieves, and those burglar alarms are not in vain. ”

"The squad leader said that the rules should be the same as those on the estate in the United States. ”

"Go, call Karimi and go outside. ”

Alyosha knew that the boss was nervous again tonight.
