Chapter 15 Gold for money
Van Gogh, even if Subei didn't care much about painting, had heard of the great name of this world-famous painter. Know that Van Gogh, like Picasso, is one of the most expensive painters in the world.
Su Bei listened to Su Huai's report, and the reality was shocked, and then he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of these three paintings.
According to the information checked by Su Huai, Van Gogh was a Dutch painter who lived in France in his later years and never went to China, even in Asia, how could his paintings appear on this land?
But Su Bei turned around and thought about it, these three paintings were dug up from the ground with Su Huai, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be fake by modern people, and if they want to be faked, they are also fake from the people who buried this iron cabinet at that time, but in 1940 of the last century, there were wars all over the country, who would imitate Van Gogh's paintings?
By the way, although Van Gogh has not set foot in the land of China, but when you are in the Eight-Nation Alliance, there is France where Van Gogh lived in his later years, and these three paintings may have been brought into China by which French ** country. Van Gogh died in 1890, and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition began in 1900, which was right in time.
Adding these three paintings is genuine, how much is it worth?
"Su Huai, when you checked the information, did you pay attention to the information about how much this Van Gogh painting is worth?" Su Bei asked Su Huai, who was standing aside.
"Master, I know your intention to ask me to check the information, so I specifically checked the auction information of Van Gogh's paintings, and found two pieces of information about the auction of Van Gogh's paintings on the Internet, one called "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" was sold for $82.5 million in 1990, and the other "Self-Portrait Without a Beard" was sold for $71.5 million in 1998. There is also information about a newly discovered painting, a painting called "Sunset at Montmaio", which was estimated at more than $50 million when it was newly identified as Van Gogh's. Su Huai replied respectfully.
Although Su Huai has just turned into a human, he is the leaf of the tree of life, and he knows the common sense of the world around him as soon as he transforms, and he received the order of Northern Jiangsu, and he uses the art of retreat to learn human knowledge everywhere during the day, and under the support of his Yuan Ying cultivation, the progress is amazing, as if he has been living in society.
Su Bei secretly said to himself, Van Gogh is worthy of being one of the most expensive painters, all of them are tens of millions of dollars, if his three paintings can be identified as authentic, wouldn't he already be a billionaire? Moreover, he is also hundreds of millions of dollars!
But how to determine the authenticity of these three paintings?
These are three Western paintings, the domestic appraisal is not very reliable, but it is very troublesome to send it to foreign countries for identification, not to mention anything else, first say that you have a passport and visa or something, it is not possible to get it at a moment.
"If you want to realize these paintings, you can't get them in a day or two, don't care about him for now, receive it in the space, you can take out some of these gold bricks and sell them first, so that you have enough funds, and the plan to get rich can skip the step of accumulation of original funds and speed up the progress. ”
Subei has just counted all the gold bricks, three times four placed in the bottom layer, a total of twelve, each gold brick is about 20 Li Min long, 12 cm wide, 5 cm thick, because it has been buried in the ground for a long time, the surface oxidation is a little dazzling, the night is relatively dark, and it is heavy in the hand, about 3500 grams.
"Twelve gold bricks together, there are at least 40,000 grams, that is, eighty catties, according to the current gold price, 290 yuan per gram, that is a total of 11.6 million yuan!"
Even if the gold bricks may not be as good as the gold content of the current ones, they are worth at least 10 million.
10 million, when Su Bei didn't resign, a year's salary was only 50,000 or 60,000 at most, and 1,000 required him to work hard for nearly 200 years!
Su Bei moved the entire iron cabinet into the space, and then took Su Huai into the space.
"This is my world, you can help me manage these crops for the time being, allow you to use a handful of spiritual soil every day, cultivate well, and after a while, when the time is right, you will come out again." ”
After Su Bei told a few words, he got out of the space, quietly returned to his grandparents' house, and secretly released the black girl.
The black girl seemed to be frightened by what happened this night, and as soon as she came out, she quickly slipped into a corner of the hall and looked at Subei in the dark pitifully.
Su Bei was angry all night, smeared into his bedroom, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep directly.
Early the next morning, Subei got up and went to the county seat of Lixian County, and after arriving at the county seat at noon, Subei did not go home, but went directly to Shao City, and then took a car to Xing City, the provincial capital.
Along the way, Subei used his full-featured copycat mobile phone to start checking the information on the sale of physical gold, and soon he found a lot of useful information, such as the gold content of gold in the Republic of China period is generally about 99%, which is 99.9% more common than the current one For example, in addition to the black market, there are two legitimate ways to repurchase physical gold on the market, one is a pawnshop, and the other is a gold store, the price of pawnshop recycling is generally about 50 yuan per gram lower than the market price, and the recycling price of gold stores is generally about 40 yuan per gram lower than the market price.
After checking this information, Subei immediately checked the situation of the gold store in Xingshi, and the main objects were those big brands with loud names.
In the end, northern Jiangsu selected the century-old brand "Zhou Xiaofu", Zhou Xiaofu jewelry since the Guangxu period was founded in Xiangjiang, more than 100 years of standing, branches opened all over the place where there are Chinese people, creating a strong reputation.
Although the recycling price of such a big brand is lower, Subei would rather make less money than make trouble for himself, so it is more reliable to choose such a reputable time-honored brand.
When he arrived in Xingshi, Su Bei first returned to his rental house, and then used the super large mountaineering bar bought on the Internet to install twelve gold bricks, and went straight to Wuyi Square in the city center.
......
"Welcome!" As soon as Su Bei walked into the door of Zhou Xiaofu's flagship store in Wuyi Square, a long-legged waiter in a red cheongsam greeted him with a smile on his face.
Su Bei was carrying a big mountaineering bag, and he looked shorter, and with his whiter and whiter skin, he looked like a young man who had just come of age.
Su Huai should have been called out to act as a façade before, Su Bei muttered in his heart, and followed the waitress into it.
"Are you recycling gold? I want to sell some gold. "Subei is straight to the point, there is no nonsense, and he directly explains the intention.
"Sir, we Zhou Xiaofu have a gold recycling business, please come with me, I don't know how much gold you have to sell, sir, is it gold jewelry, or ......?"
......
The sale of gold is more tortuous than the imagination of northern Jiangsu, because there is more gold sold in northern Jiangsu, with a total value of more than 10 million yuan, so it alarmed the senior management of Zhou Xiaofu Jewelry Hunan Branch, and it took more than three hours, after some relatively complicated procedures, there was only 11.2 million yuan more in Subei's bank card.
This number is a little more than expected in northern Jiangsu.
When Su Bei walked out of Zhou Xiaofu, his feet were a little fluttering - he became a multimillionaire like this?
