"Then please, two professors. The two professors didn't pay much attention to Jin Yang, it is estimated that the artists are like this, and Jin Yang didn't care much.

"Don't mind, they don't care much about anything but the art they're interested in, we'll wait for the results now. Charlie was also helpless.

While waiting for the appraisal results, everyone chatted together, Li Xin and Yang Qingyan were also familiar with Charlie because they often participated in Sotheby's auctions in Hong Kong, and Charlie, as the manager of Sotheby's, had a very good attitude towards rich people, after all, these are their potential customers, after all, no one will be innocent offended by their parents.

Charlie is an American, and he has been transferred to Hong Kong as a manager for more than five years, Charlie's family is one of the shareholders of Sotheby's, so Charlie also has a lot of authority here, Charlie really deserves to be the manager of Sotheby's, while amusing Li Xin and Yang Qingyan Jiaojiao, he also chatted with Jinyang from time to time, and learned some of Jinyang's situation while not being disgusted.

After waiting for more than an hour, when Jinyang had drunk three cups of coffee, one of the old men finally came over: "No problem, they are all genuine, this one is Monet's "Water Lilies", and it is the representative work of his "Water Lilies" series of works, the color is very free and spontaneous, and even black and turbid neutral colors are used; The performance of the tone is even more extreme, the concept of beauty of the female nude with roundness and full curvaceous beauty is vividly expressed, this is the absolute masterpiece of Ingres, and the other three diamonds are also the top, cut, clarity, color are the top, each is 25 carats, almost identical, it looks like it should be cut on the same fast rough stone, very rare. ”

Hearing this, Jin Yang had a thought in his mind, how much are these two paintings worth, and they have been sent.

Charlie's timely promoter of his own services: " We at Sotheby's will not ask too much about the origin of the lots, if you want, we can help you auction these paintings and diamonds, we can prepare a small special auction for your two paintings and three diamonds, our turnover rate is very high, and your lots are rare in the world, it is basically impossible to unsold, you must know that now art can be the best investment direction, those rich will not let go of these masterpieces, but this takes time to publicize, it will take about a month in total, as for the commission, we will charge 3 of the turnover%, do you think that's okay?"

"Then how much are these worth?" Now Jinyang only wants to know the price.

"This Monet's "Water Lilies", referring to Monet's other "Water Lilies" works before, we estimate it at about 50 million US dollars, this is the estimate, the auction price should be higher than this, and this "Bathing **" Referring to the previous Ingres masterpiece and market conditions, the estimate is around 47 million, and as for these three diamonds, they are all estimated at about 20 million US dollars, and if they are combined together, the auction price will be higher, because they are cut from the same rough stone, and the size and shape are basically the same, which is very rare. ”

Jin Yang was stunned, "Water Lilies" is 50 million, "**" is 47 million, and diamonds are a total of 60 million, which together is a conservative price of 157 million US dollars, how much does this cost? Jin Yang couldn't help but fantasize.

"Mr. Charlie, what should I do if there is an auction?"

"Thank you for your trust in our Sotheby's, you don't have to do anything, you just need to prepare the bank card and other money to your account, and we Sotheby's will help you with the rest." ”

"This auction should be at your U.S. headquarters, right? But I don't have a U.S. bank card or a passport, so what should I do?"

"Yes, it will be auctioned at the headquarters in the United States, and the price will be higher, but that's okay, isn't there still a month to go? If you don't mind, I recommend you to use Citibank, we will provide you with all the services, including your visa, we can help Sotheby's, and even if you want to become a U.S. citizen, etc., we can provide you, before the auction we can also provide you with no more than 10% of the value of the lot as working capital, to ensure your convenience. ”

"That's good, thank you so much, I'll contact you if you need to. Jin Yang thanked, and after speaking, he turned around and prepared to call Yang Qingyan to leave together.

And Yang Qingyan's eyes have been staring at the three diamonds for a long time, and he is almost drooling, and Li Xin also looks at the diamonds from time to time, and his eyes are also very yearning, it seems that as long as she is a woman, she can't resist the light of diamonds. At this time, Yang Qingyan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that these things were worth so much money, even if the Yang Group wanted to take out so much cash at once, it was very difficult.

"When you get the money after the auction, you must invite me to a big dinner, you are richer than me, this diamond is so beautiful, why are you willing to sell it?"

"Don't look at it, if you want, I can give you a bigger and better diamond, so that you can carry it with you every day, I'm afraid you won't dare to ask for it." Jin Yang couldn't help but laugh at Yang Qingyan.

"Tsk, shameless, who wants your diamond, don't think that a diamond can impress me, even if the diamond is big. Yang Qingyan said with a red face.

After laughing a few words with Yang Qingyan, Jin Yang and Charlie went through the formalities and signed a series of contracts under the witness of the lawyer, including the rights and obligations of both parties to the auction, the rules to be followed, the custody and insurance of the auction items, etc., after the two paintings and three diamonds will be shipped to the United States tomorrow to start a half-month publicity, about a month or so, Jinyang can get the money from the auction. Jin Yang communicated with Charlie and signed several contracts, and then got 10 million US dollars in advance, and the rest will be settled after the auction is over.

After everything was done, Jin Yang and Yang Qingyan went out of Sotheby's auction house, and now the purpose of coming to Hong Kong is completed, but Jin Yang is at a loss, what should I do next? There is still a month to go, even if I go back to apply for a visa and passport, then the rest of the time is very boring, thinking about it, I casually asked Yang Qingyan: "Qingyan, what do you say I have to do next? I don't know much about this, I don't know how to get it, and now I don't have to go to work, so the rest of the time is not boring, and I find that I don't even know what I'm going to do this month. Do you have any suggestions? ”

"Yes, why do you go to work now that you have so much money, you can pick up girls and find girls if you have nothing to do, don't you men like this? Yang Qingyan joked as if he didn't understand Jin Yang's words.
