Chapter 105: A Book of Profits
After the battle, Long Wei finally sold for 14 million US dollars, and Kaba won it, becoming another winner.
James and the two adjudicators were drunk, and the two swords actually sold for 32 million dollars!
Su Yuan nodded with satisfaction, plus the dragon thorn's 10 million, 42 million US dollars, converted into 260 million yuan, cool!
The contract is signed on the spot, the transaction is completed, and the cash is deposited into an offshore account overseas, to the delight of both parties. After the dinner, the others left one after another, especially Mad Dog and Kaba, who were anxious to go back to study, and cracking it a day earlier would be hundreds of millions of huge profits.
"Are you looking for a meteorite collector?" Tom listened to Su Yuan's request and said curiously: "After our research, the dragon thorn contains a lot of unknown metal elements, could it be ......?"
Su Yuan nodded, this point could not be concealed from high technology, and explained: "Not only the dragon thorn, but even the dragon yuan is made of extraterrestrial meteorites. But don't worry, it's not the ones who sell to Mad Dog and Kaba!"
Tom suddenly realized, his face was full of excitement, good guy, Master Su was really ruthless, and when he saw that the sworn enemy bought it back at a sky-high price was actually a defective product, he felt a sense of comfort in his heart.
Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, there are two purposes for coming to the United States this time, one is to challenge the Guinness Book of Records and complete the system task. Another is to look for meteorites, the United States is the world's largest meteorite distribution center, with a large land area and many meteorites distributed, so the number of collections is also the largest.
Tom rushed to report the results of the investigation the next day, Su Yuan looked at the information, Robert Haig is 45 years old this year, and has a dual identity, on the one hand, he is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and on the other hand, he is the world's most authoritative private meteorite collector.
Initially, Dr. Haig, who was famous, collected meteorites just as a hobby, but later discovered that meteorites were rare and valuable and could be sold for a good price. In the professional meteorite market, the price is more than $8 per gram, almost the same as the price of gold.
Even the most common ones are around $30 per kilogram, and if it is a meteorite containing rare metals, then the price is difficult to measure.
I started collecting meteorites at the age of 23, and at that time no one realized that it was a good thing that could be sold for money. Haig's meteorite collection is the world's largest private meteorite collection, and while others have been in the business since 1990, no one has been able to match Haig in terms of strength and scale.
The experience of collecting meteorites is much like the plot of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, full of thrills, excitement and legends. In search of wealth from the sky, he traveled to all continents on earth except Antarctica.
In Chile, Namibia, Australia, Mexico and Egypt, there have been experiences of dying in the wilderness. As long as the space agency predicts where and when there will be a meteor shower, it will rush there at the exact time. No matter where you are, no matter what means of transportation.
In addition to looking for meteorites himself, he also buys them from locals, who will buy meteorites with cash, no matter how big or small.
In 1992, he bought a 37-ton meteorite in Argentina for a large sum of money, which was the largest meteorite he had ever seen in his life. However, when the meteorite was being transported out of customs, the Argentine government arrested him on smuggling charges, believing that the rare meteorite belonged to the Argentine state. Haig was later released, but the meteorite was left in Argentina forever.
When there are no meteor showers, Haig also searches for meteorites on his own. They search mainly in the desert areas of Africa, where meteorites have never been picked up.
Fly slowly 120 meters above the desert in a gliding landing soft-wing aircraft, land whenever you see a protrusion, and then search for it with a metal detector. This is generally considered to be a needle in a haystack, but the meteorites found in the desert for more than 20 years account for a significant portion of Haig's private collection.
The so-called Haig meteorite on the market today is a meteorite that is specially named after him. Due to the specificity of its provenance and the potential for future appreciation, the HeyGears collection has exceeded $100 million at market value.
Su Yuan was very satisfied after reading it, and asked Tom to contact the other party immediately, now that he has money in his hand, as long as he can find the Golden Light Meteorite Mine, any sword is a priceless treasure.
Three days later, everyone left the United States and returned with a full load, three million of which were purchased from Haig, five meteorites, three pieces of golden light, and two pieces of superb yellow light. It also proves that not all meteorites are treasures.
A handful of dragons, a handful of dragons, and a handful of dragon thorns, in exchange for 40 million US dollars, plus five top-grade meteorites, this transaction is worth it!
After a circle, he is really becoming a billionaire, and when the show is broadcast in the United States next month, he will buy out the domestic copyright, and spend some money on the TV station to broadcast it again, which should be able to reach the point where everyone knows about it, and by the way, he can also give Su Jiajian a wave of prestige.
"You each have one piece of these two ores!" Su Yuan took the red wine from Emi Yanagi, picked out two pieces of top-grade yellow light ore, handed them to Xu Kui and the little girl, and said with a smile: "Make good use of it, it can be regarded as your first graduation assessment." ”
"Thank you, master!" The two of them were ecstatic, for the swordsmith, the best iron ore was a priceless treasure, not to mention that it was personally selected by Su Yuan, it was definitely different.
The remaining three pieces must be kept for their own use, at least three of them are superb, and the opening of the light is the purple light sword, which is on par with Long Yuan.
In fact, after this period of cultivation, the level of sword forging is much higher than when he built Long Yuan, but Long Yuan is the first sword after all, which is of great significance, and he is also very angry, so he has always been with him and never abandoned.
As for the other works, with the light opening technique in hand, it is better to exchange for some resources and fame. What's more, Tom already knows the news of the meteorite, Mad Dog and Kaba are not stupid, and it won't be long before the meteorite will inevitably become the target of scramble.
But they don't have the Five Elements Technique, they all have eyes and no beads, who can tell the difference between good and bad?
In the end, don't you want to run to kneel and lick yourself?
When the time comes, you don't have to spend a penny, you can choose the best meteorites at will, this is called investment!
When everyone returned to Longquan, Wang Tian and Hu Jinquan had already started, and the four shops were running normally, but in fact, those who were willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to collect swords were senior collectors, and many of them were face-to-face transactions, and they were rarely completed in the store.
This is the characteristic of the antique shop, which will not be open for three years, and will be open for three years. Good things are all transactions between acquaintances, pay attention to the orderly inheritance and brand effect.
The same sword, after Huangfujiang's collection, even if it is only for one day, the value is not the same. Now the Su family sword shop is the same, as long as it is a joined sword caster, the work is certified, at least tripled, this is Su Yuan's brand effect.
Of course, after all, the time is still short, and it takes decades, or even hundreds of years of precipitation, for a good work to be called a classic, which will be admired by thousands of people.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Zhang Bo, an expert in the identification of weapons in the Forbidden City. ”
