After Shangguan Yu started the car, Yu Yao asked, "How much?" ”

"You won't go to Teacher Lin's house tonight, will you?"

"Well, I contacted him. Let's talk about how much money first. ”

"You're still in a hurry, one yard to one yard, I won't want it, it's just that in Old Man Meng's house, it's not good to push around. Shangguan Yu smiled at this time, "Fifty thousand!"

This is the same price that Li Dazui offered at the time, but this Yu Yao did not hesitate at all, and then transferred the account. After finishing the matter, Yu Yao also asked more, "Old Man Meng unveiled it, this is still a preferential price for you, right?"

"Old Man Meng charges one percent of the price of the painting for mounting, and five percent for the unmounting, if it is reloaded after unmasking, it is equivalent to giving it away. It's generally half price for me. Shangguan Yu explained, "Your patch, I estimate it at two million, isn't it?"

"Not much. However, Old Man Meng obviously has never seen the Moon Shadow patch. ”

"He hadn't seen the Moon Shadow patch, but he knew that this paper and ink were extraordinary, and he wouldn't think I gave too much. ”

"That's good. ”

Yu Yao then called Lin Fengcao, and tomorrow Monday, Lin Fengcao had a class, so he made an appointment for the evening.

Early the next morning, Yang Sihai informed Yu Yao that he could take away the little jade seal and the little jade block.

Yang Rui picked up Yu Yao by the way and went to the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau, just as Yu Yao and he said that they would go to Lin Fengcao to enjoy the wonders of the moon shadow together in the evening.

For Yu Yao and Wu Chen's project, Yang Rui didn't ask a word, which is also a work habit.

There was no progress in the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country for the time being, Yu Yao took the things and left, and at the same time told Yang Sihai and Wu Chen that he might return to Jiangzhou in two days. Yang Sihai smiled, "It's been so long, it's time to go back and keep in touch." ”

Yu Yao took his things and went straight to Cai Pengxi's courtyard.

After Cai Pengxi put away the little jade piece and the little jade man, he didn't let Yu Yao go, saying that Cai Zhihuang came back last night, and he came to lunch at noon today, and they happened to be together.

Yu Yao originally took the pigeon blood red, but he didn't come back, and how to make a move also had to be discussed with Cai Pengxi.

Coincidentally, I went to Myanmar this time, and in addition to the jade material, I also received two pieces of rough gemstones, a ruby and a sapphire.

Only then did Zhihuang see Yu Yao's pigeon blood red, and he was surprised, "This kind of material is not easy to harvest in Myanmar." ”

"Does your company accept it?" asked Yu Yao.

"Of course, take it. But you don't know the way of the jewelry world, so you don't take advantage of it. Cai Zhihuang is now a little less arrogant than before, but he still has a sense of Ling Ran when he speaks.

"How?"

"From raw materials to finished products, the company has a budget and estimate, you are the best, but if the Han and Tang Dynasty jade collections, it will not exceed 20 million. ”

Yu Yao smiled, "You're not interested, are you?"

"Yes, but not much. And I'm helping you figure it out from your point of view now. Cai Zhihuang looked at Cai Pengxi, "Grandpa, this can be regarded as putting yourself in the shoes of a face-to-face opportunity, right?"

Cai Pengxi smiled slightly, and said in his heart.

"What do you mean?" Yu Yao asked again. In terms of the jewelry market, he is indeed inferior to Cai Zhihuang.

"Two ideas. One is to store value, don't sell it now, just save it. Ruby is not a jade that has been fried for a short time, and like jadeite, it has always had a status in a long history, and it is recognized at home and abroad, as long as it is not damaged, the price will only get higher and higher. If you keep this thing, it's much better than a normal investment. ”

Since it was "two ideas", Yu Yao didn't interrupt and continued to listen.

"Second, if you have to make a move, I suggest you take a big shot. In a spring auction in the United States last year, a 30-carat pigeon's blood red was estimated by analysts at the auction house to sell for $15 million, but as a result, two rich people who were obsessed with rubies chased it all the way, and the price soared to more than $30 million!"

Yu Yao nodded, "I know this, 'Fire Burning Cloud'!"

This ruby, then named "Burning Cloud", was thirty carats too large and caused a sensation in the jewelry world.

Cai Zhihuang also nodded, "Of course, you can't compare with that one, I think it's a little more than ten carats." But if we accept 20 million dollars, how many dollars is it? You will go to Galde's spring auction next year, and it is best to go to Hong Kong Island, and you know the specific reason. In the end, it's no problem to rush to 40 or 50 million Hong Kong dollars!"

When Cai Pengxi heard this, he suddenly interjected, "You and that Jiade's Xiao Chen aren't playing together now, are they?"

"Grandpa, you don't know yet, right? I just heard the letter when I came back, the night before yesterday, this kid and an outdated singer smoked hemp at home, and were reported by the Chaoyang masses and detained!"

"Look at what kind of fox friends you have made!" Cai Pengxi snorted.

"I don't touch this thing!" Cai Zhihuang waved his hand, and then said to Yu Yao, "Also, when you negotiate with the auction house, in addition to the reserve price, make more requirements and increase the proportion of the bidding deposit!"

Yu Yao groaned, "Margin? Most of the targets are up to ten percent. ”

The security deposit is a kind of credit guarantee from the bidder to the auction house, and if the auction is not settled, then the deposit will not be returned.

There are no hard and fast rules on the number and proportion of the deposit, and the auction company will set it according to its own business characteristics, the situation of the lot, the credit rating of the bidder, etc. But in general, it's about 5 to 10 percent of the estimate or starting price.

In recent years, there have been many cases where the auction is not settled, and some high-priced bidders feel that the auction is too high, and they will sacrifice the deposit, jokingly saying "pay the tuition".

"You ruby, the margin can be increased to 40 percent!" only then did Zhi Huang say amazingly, "If you set the starting price of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, the margin can be set to 8 million!"

"It seems that there is no precedent for this in the auction industry, right?"

Two years ago, a work by Su Shi was valued at 300 million, and the owner of the goods in the Japanese country demanded a deposit of up to 100 million two!"

This is a special case, and Garder may not agree to it. ”

"It's not special, you still have to see things. Why did I let you go Galle? Galde and Subis, just like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, have always been the two giants of competition, Subis has more resources than Gall in terms of gemstones; this year, Galde did not have any decent gems on the auction, and your one is more than 10 carats, and it is also from the Qing Dynasty, and it is a semi-circular sphere, all advantages!"

Yu Yao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "As soon as you say that, I propose a starting price of 20 million and a deposit of 40 percent, if they frown, I will immediately open my mouth to change the line of Subes?"

"Understand people!" Cai Zhihuang suddenly smiled, "Your luck is really good, there is something else!"
