Chapter 349: A top-notch sapphire like no other in the world

End the call.

Wang Chen ran next door to take a look, Sister Mei was still sleeping, probably tired, he hesitated, considering that the matter of the auction house was more important, he picked up his mobile phone and sent Sister Mei a WeChat message, telling the other party that he had gone to the auction house, and if he woke up, he would call or send a message to find himself.

Prepare all the jadeite products.

After a while, Young Master Xu sent someone to pick him up.

Wang Chen asked people to carefully move the jade and gems to the car one by one, changed their clothes and went out.

Came to Tianyuxuan Auction Company.

As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Chen saw Young Master Xu at the door, and he walked forward with a smile to say hello, "Young Master Xu." ”

"Eh, you're finally here. Young Master Xu's face was full of anxiety, and he looked into the car, "Where are the things?

Wang Chen Khan said: "You don't have to be in such a hurry, right?"

"I don't want to be in a hurry, but a few big customers opened a video with me, saying that I want to watch things now, if you don't come, I'll show others something?" He paused, "I explained to Liu Lao and them, every time a suitable product is evaluated, it will be sent to the video conference room, and don't take it if it's not suitable." ”

Wang Chen smiled and said, "It's all suitable, and you can move it directly to the video conference room." ”

Young Master Xu said speechlessly: "Xiao Wang, when are you still amusing me? Let's go to the video conference room, the big customers are waiting." ”

Wang Chen: "......"

In fact, he knew in his heart that Young Master Xu was doing this to seek stability, to say something unpleasant, if there was really a low-grade jade mixed in it for big customers to see, what would others think?

Oh, that's all your auction company is capable of?

Wang Chen, who originally wanted to explain something, didn't defend anything, followed Young Master Xu and walked inside, and asked, "Who are the dots?"

"There are more than a dozen of them here are major customers, and they are all in the Jockey Club today, so I asked Vice Chairman Zhou of the Jockey Club to get them a video conference room. Young Master Xu casually reported a few names, "For example, Zheng Gang's father, Mr. Zheng, is Chow Tai Fook, as well as Mr. Zhou, the chairman of Zhou Taisheng in the mainland, Mr. Jiahualu, and Michael Kadoorie of CLP Group, etc., all of them are big shots, they don't participate in the auction much, and I used my father's face to invite them, so I must not mess up." ”

Wang Chen sighed, "They are all big shots." ”

Young Master Xu smiled bitterly: "But isn't it, so you know why I attach so much importance to it, right? Well, there may be some other members of the Jockey Club, I saw dozens of people from the video just now, but our main customers are Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhou and other dozen people." ”

The two walked as they talked.

After a few minutes, it's time for the video conference room.

Before he could push the door in, Wang Chen heard a noisy voice, many of which were spoken in Cantonese and could not be fully understood.

Hey?

Where does our company come from to speak so many Cantonese?

Wang Chen was a little curious, but after pushing the door in, he found that the sound came from the video stereo.

in a video conference room.

The company's vice president, Ba Song Chalun Pong, was smiling at the other end of the video and said in Cantonese: "Xu Dong went out to pick up the chairman, and he will come soon, so I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." ”

Because of the angle, Wang Chen and Young Master Xu who had just walked in couldn't be seen on the other end of the video, but they could see the reaction of a group of people on the big screen.

Several top bigwigs Wang Chen have seen them in magazines, they sat at the conference table with expressionless faces and drank tea, and they didn't say anything, but a few young men and women were chatting with dissatisfaction over there.

"What is Hao Tsai doing?"

"That's it, let Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhou wait here?"

"It's been more than ten minutes, and I haven't seen anyone. ”

"The shelves are too big, aren't they?"

Wang Chen glanced to the side, thinking that Young Master Xu would not look good, but who knew that there was no such thing at all.

I saw Young Master Xu laughing and stepped forward, and said to the video: "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"

One of the middle-aged men with a beard on his chin smiled: "I didn't say anything bad about you, but I was afraid that Mr. Zheng and they would be in a hurry." ”

Mr. Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just wait a while." ”

"I'm really sorry, I just went out to pick up the chairman of our company. Young Master Xu apologized, then stretched out his hand to pull Wang Chen and introduced: "He is Wang Chen, the chairman of our Tianyuxuan Auction Company. ”

Wang Chen also said sorry to the video.

Then Young Master Xu introduced more than a dozen major customers, and Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhou and other Wang Chen knew each other.

There are also some people that Wang Chen doesn't know, and under the introduction of Young Master Xu, he found out that they are all characters with heads and faces, such as Li Gongzi, the son of a Hong Kong real estate tycoon, Miss Wu, the daughter of the chairman of Wharf, and Mr. Xu, the former son-in-law of the gambling king, etc.

The lowest status is at the billionaire level.

As for the remaining thirty or forty melon-eating people, Young Master Xu didn't introduce them much, although he didn't introduce them, but he could be a member of the Jockey Club, and he could follow Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhou and others as melon-eating people, thinking that they were all a bit of an identity, Wang Chen didn't slack off, and said hello one by one.

That's it.

Mr. Zheng said casually: "Hao Zai, you also know that I am usually busy, if you don't have anything too good at the auction, I may not have time to come." ”

"I know Uncle Zheng. Young Master Xu pointed at Wang Chen and said: "Wang Dong is very capable, and all the products he got are high-quality products, you will know later." ”

Mr. Zheng bowed his head slightly and did not speak to Wang Chen.

Not only Mr. Zheng, but almost everyone on the other side of the video did not speak to him.

Obviously, this group of people is looking at the face of Young Master Xu or Young Master Xu's father, and they don't take the "little-known" Wang Chen in their eyes at all.

Wang Chen, who was despised, was not annoyed, after all, these were potential financiers, he took the initiative to smile and accosted: "Gentlemen and ladies, I will now have people bring things over for you to palm?"

Michael Kadoorie looked at his watch and said, "Okay, hurry up, I still have to watch horse racing." ”

Wang Chen turned his head sideways and ordered: "Ba Song Chalunpeng, you go and urge Liu Lao, send a few pieces of collection first." ”

"Yes. Basson Charempong turned and went out.

Wang Chen and Young Master Xu chatted with the customers.

The customers have a ride or not, especially those who eat melons, basically talking about horse racing, it seems that they are purely to see the excitement, or to talk to Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhou and others.

I waited about ten minutes or so.

There was a knock on the door, and the voice of Ba Song Chalunphong came from outside, "Chairman, Xu Dong." ”

Wang Chen smiled and said to the crowd in the video: "Something is coming." Then he shouted outside, "Please come in." ”

The vast majority of people in the video are not interested.

There is not much interest among the major customers.

To be precise, they couldn't shirk it, so they reluctantly refused to come to Thailand through video conferencing, and they never thought that anything could get into their eyes.

Wang Chen didn't know the psychology of the customers, but he wholeheartedly prepared to exhibit the things to be auctioned.

The door was pushed open, and Basson Charempong walked in with a young woman staff member pushing a small cart covered with a red cloth that could not see what the first auction item was.

However, Wang Chen knew that the things he brought were all high-quality products, and he would not be bad if he took them out, and he didn't worry at all, so he asked Ba Song Chalunpong and the female staff to align the trolley at the video, and then said: "Let me introduce this collection to everyone." ”

When he spoke, the melon-eating crowd on the other end of the video was still whispering, as if they weren't ready to see anything.

Some big customers such as Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zheng and Michael Kadoorie were quite face-saving, or relatively well-educated, and no one spoke, showing a serious expression.

"Okay. Ba Song Charempong looked at the data report in his hand, and then said in a very infectious tone: "The first auction item brought to you tonight is hard to find, I have been engaged in the auction industry for more than 20 years, and I have rarely seen such a fine auction item. ”

"Say something directly. ”

"That is, it is a waste of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhou's time. ”

The people who eat melons are dissatisfied.

Wang Chen was about to roll his eyes, but a series of bigwigs such as Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, just this group of melon-eating people demolished the stage.

Young Master Xu may be a little nervous, frowning and saying, "Okay, let's introduce it directly." ”

Ba Song Chalunpong originally wanted to stir up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect it to be like this, so he was a little embarrassed, and without any more moves, he directly reached out and lifted the red cloth, and introduced in his mouth: "This is a vintage-style sapphire silver necklace." As he spoke, he picked up the white gloves on the cart and put them on, "Please wait a minute, I'll pick them up and show you." ”

Hearing the introduction, everyone was a little disappointed.

"Sapphire silver necklace?"

"I thought it was something good. ”

Even Mr. Zhou, who had not spoken, smiled dumbly and said: "How ...... our Zhou Dasheng is if the sapphire silver necklace is used."

Before he could finish his sentence, Basson Charempong was already holding up the sapphire necklace.

Wang Chen didn't expect that Liu Laohui would send the first twenty-carat royal sapphire silver necklace, which was one of the finales of his auction.

At the same time, on the other side of the originally noisy video, the voice suddenly closed when I saw this sapphire silver necklace!

I saw a dazzling sapphire sparkling in the light!

The crowd on the other side of the video was stunned, so much so that it was quiet for two seconds.

Until Mr. Zhou let out a surprised voice, "Oh my God! Such a big sapphire, I think it's more than fifteen carats, right?"

The next moment, a violent discussion erupted on the other side of the video.

"it!"

"More than fifteen carats of sapphires?"

"You know, a sapphire over five carats is more expensive than the same diamond, and more than fifteen carats is worth more?"

"Wow, it's so beautiful, this sapphire is so beautiful, Daddy, I want it, I want this sapphire necklace. ”

An elderly man in his sixties who was shaken by a young woman: "......"

You must know that a blue-black sapphire earring of about 16 carats auctioned at Sotheby's Geneva a few years ago sold for nearly 3.3 million US dollars, which is still burning.

Like the sapphire on the silver necklace in front of him, you can know at a glance that it is definitely better than a blue-black sapphire, plus the price of top sapphire has risen a lot in recent years, and it is normal to sell it for four or five million US dollars, that old man is just an ordinary billionaire, he can enter the Jockey Club because of his influence in Hong Kong, why is he willing to sell it to his daughter?

What surprised the other side of the video even more was still to come.

"This is an unburned royal sapphire from Myanmar, weighing 22.2 carats, with an internal flawless clarity and a six-pointed star shape, according to our appraisers, the shape of this royal sapphire is very likely to be natural and uncut, and it is among the best sapphires, with an estimate ranging from $5.5 million to $7.25 million," said Basson Chalenpong. ”

That's it.

All the people on the other side of the video have their eyes wide open!

Including Young Master Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked sideways at Wang Chen, obviously, he didn't expect Wang Chen to bring such a big surprise, as soon as he made a move, it was a top sapphire that could not be found.

Burmese unburned royal blue!

Weighs 22.2 carats!

The six-pointed star shape is born naturally!

The clarity has also reached the internal flawless level!

Anyone who knows a little about jewelry knows that this is a top-notch sapphire like no other in the world, and the estimate between $5.5 million and $7.25 million is very conservative, of course, this is an estimate, and it is possible to double the price at auction.

That is, it is possible that this sapphire silver necklace will fetch more than 10 million dollars?

I couldn't help but feel that many people who were not interested in Wang Chen and Young Master Xu's auction company were all attracted by this top sapphire at the moment, and they couldn't move it anymore!

Wang Chen was not surprised by this, and smiled, knowing that the collection he brought could attract many customers to participate in the auction.
