Chapter 542
Li Xi never imagined that with a work of art with no practical value, it could be sold for an astonishingly high price without any hype. That is clearly unrealistic.
Zhou Sirui followed up and added: "So, go back and find someone to identify it, and by the way, make an imitation out, as a display of furnishings, so that customers can look through the window, someone is willing to buy of course the best, even if no one buys, but also let people know that we can buy all kinds of exquisite jewelry here." ”
When it comes to valuation, it's actually one of the most unscientific things. Antiques can also be valued, and jewelry can also be valued, but the estimated price is usually very different from the selling price.
Take jewelry as an example, when making an appraisal, it is usually based on the material of the jewelry, and if such a piece of jewelry has a great origin, what kind of celebrity processing is it, and the problem of workmanship is added.
The two add up to give a specific price, but in this case, it is usually the problem of price fluctuations caused by the comparison between the buyer and the quantity of the product in the process of sales.
In other words, the value of this product itself may not be very high, but if there are many people who buy it, and they are all large items, it is very likely that the price of such a product will be directly speculated.
This situation is actually very common. Conversely, it is not uncommon for a product to be valuable, but few people are interested in it, so that in the end, it can only be sold at or below cost.
So a lot of the time. The pricing of items is not absolute.
Li Xi just listened to what Zhou Sirui said, and he generally had a certain understanding. At the moment, he said: "In this case, it is better to find someone to identify it first." ”
Zhou Sirui has no objection, anyway, he has to find someone to identify, rather than find someone to identify afterwards, it is better to find someone to identify now, not to mention, there is Li Xi to follow. It will also be safer. You can't wait for Li Xi to be away in the future, let her run around with such a piece of jewelry. In this way, it is too unsafe, and it is very likely that someone will rob you accidentally.
When I heard this, I immediately agreed. Go straight to the jewellery laboratory. When I got outside, I stopped the car and a few people went straight in.
There was a waitress who brought a list for them to fill out, and then lined up.
This kind of queuing is actually just a show, this kind of place, where there will be so many people who need to identify the value of jewelry.
After filling out the list, the waitress took them in. Find someone to identify.
It was a man in his forties who was identified, and the first thing was to ask Zhou Sirui to take things out.
Zhou Sirui first took out the necklace. The first thing you see about such an elf necklace is the exquisite workmanship. So much so that even this male appraiser, after seeing it, couldn't help but light up his eyes.
Then he took the necklace, looked left and right, and even deliberately took out the magnifying glass to look at the necklace carefully.
After a while, the necklace was put down, and the appraiser did not directly tell Zhou Sirui the value of the necklace, but wrote the results of the appraisal on the appraisal.
Even on the appraisal book, the actual value of the necklace is not written, that is, the materials used and various processes are specifically explained. Finally, there is a suggested selling price.
Li Xi deliberately went to see the results, and found that on the appraisal certificate, he specially praised the craftsmanship of such a necklace, but when it came to the materials used in processing, it was not very certain, it should be made of gold and silver two metals synthesized together.
The final suggested selling price is basically based on the craftsmanship of such a necklace, and the final estimate is between 130,000 and 140,000.
Immediately after that, I went to appraise the bracelet and earrings, and the valuation of the bracelet was slightly higher, around 140,000 to 150,000. The earrings are slightly lower, only 70,000 to 90,000.
For this valuation, the three people are not very satisfied, however, this price, itself, has great uncertainty, after all, as a kind of never-before-seen handicraft jewelry, the final price is still determined by the buyer and the economic strength of the buyer, as well as the number of buyers, if you want to buy this kind of necklace, are ordinary salarymen, and there are not a few, I am afraid that even the valuation can not be sold.
But if it is the other way around, those who want to buy such a few pieces of jewelry are all rich people, and several people are vying for it, then the price must be going up.
But the problem is that it is obviously unlikely that such a few pieces of jewelry will be put up for auction one by one.
Auctions can certainly fetch a good price. But you should know one thing, once the auction is over, such a piece of jewelry is auctioned out, it is not suitable to take out too much jewelry in the future, once too much jewelry appears, the result can only be that the value of this jewelry plummets. Even if some people originally had a wait-and-see attitude and wanted to buy one or two pieces, in this case, most of them did not buy it.
This is also easy to understand, for example, if at the beginning, an item is sold for 100 million, and the whole world thinks that there is only such a one, so all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred think that this person is worth buying.
But suddenly the next day, there was such jewelry everywhere at once, and all of them wanted to be sold for 100 million, and in this case, the ghost went to buy it.
At the same time, they all realized that the person who bought it first, the piece of jewelry in their hands, was cheated and not worth the price at all.
In addition, everyone is worried, will they buy it now, and there will be more problems of this kind of jewelry in the future, once more jewelry appears, will its price continue to fall?
Therefore, everyone must have a wait-and-see attitude towards purchasing. Eventually, this kind of jewelry continues to fall, like some kind of stock that is not very favored.
At the end of the day, it's likely that you'll have to sell at a loss. Therefore, if you want to sell in large quantities, it is obviously not possible to auction it at the beginning, unless the item itself is a consumable.
Auction one piece this year, wait for a while. Auction another one.
But jewelry, how can it be consumables, usually left for decades or even centuries. will not be damaged.
After coming out of such a laboratory, I went to the next one, which was also an appraisal, and the valuation of this one was slightly higher than that of the previous one, but it was also extremely limited, and then I went to the next one. The next one is even slightly lower than these two.
In the end, Zhou Sirui was a little frustrated, even Li Xi was a little helpless, and Zhu Xiuyan secretly scolded those appraisers several times. Saying that I don't know the goods with such a good processing technology, I have neglected something.
It's just, then again, there's such a thing as machining. It's always imaginary. It's similar to a work of art, if you say it's valuable, it's valuable, and if you say it's not valuable, it's worthless. Even if Van Gogh said it, before he hyped up the value, he could only use it to wipe his ass.
At present, the processing technology of these few pieces of jewelry is certainly very good, but before the hype. To be precise, it was before the whole society defined this processing technology as a high-end processing technology. It's just as worthless.
The reason why these appraisers gave such a high valuation of the jewelry made of these gold and silver alloys was largely due to their exquisite appearance and extremely exquisite craftsmanship that can be seen.
If it weren't for these two points, it would be worth thousands or tens of thousands at best.
The three of them discussed it, and in the end, they decided not to continue the appraisal, anyway, they are not in a hurry to sell it now, but it is better to put a few pieces of jewelry in the store and show them to customers as an exhibition first.
In addition, it is also necessary to make a few imitations and put them outside at ordinary times.
It's easy to make imitations, Zhou Sirui drove directly over, arrived at the store, and as soon as he told the situation, someone immediately took them in to take pictures and videos of the jewelry.
But the problem is that this kind of elf jewelry, imitation is really not easy to make, especially the various textures on the jewelry, are portrayed by the elves little by little, so that these imitations, to make such a piece of jewelry, time-consuming and labor-intensive, is really not an ordinary trouble.
And in the end, the asking price is not low. A necklace costs more than 10,000 yuan, and it can only be similar, not exactly the same, and even in terms of materials, it is impossible to use any alloys such as gold and silver, and in the end it can only use some highly malleable plastics, spraying a layer of metallic luster on the outside.
To be honest, if you can really make the appearance exactly the same, or even say that it is so simple, these imitations can directly use the metal of gold and silver to make such jewelry to sell, as a handicraft, the premium is ten times higher at once, and there are already many people who are willing to do such work.
In the end, Zhou Sirui and the others were also helpless, so they had to let the other party imitate each other as much as possible. In this way, in the end, the two things were not done, but none of them were done, and after paying the money, I took the documents and went directly back to the beauty salon.
Fortunately, in the beauty salon of the two, there is a special safe, and when I return to the beauty salon, I will directly put these pieces of jewelry in the safe.
Later, he discussed with Li Xi what to do to hype up the price of such jewelry.
Li Xi suggested that they should take out these pieces of jewelry and display them on some large-scale jewelry exhibitions, believing that with such good workmanship, there will always be someone who knows the goods.
Of course, Li Yi didn't expect that these ordinary elf jewelry would be able to sell for a sky-high price. As for this kind of jewelry itself, for him who is desperately short of money at the moment, he is still counting on a large number of sales.
Yes, the current Li Xi is really extremely short of money, he didn't know if he didn't spend a lot of money before, but now he bought a piece of land and a building, but he found that the money in his hand was at the bottom in a swoop. Coupled with a variety of advanced instruments, the value of these instruments is more than millions, and even some instruments are directly worth hundreds of millions.
Fortunately, there is a research institute as a mortgage, otherwise, just by buying these things, Li Xi himself would have gone bankrupt.
Don't look at it before, he sold so much moon water, even the longevity pill was sold, and he also auctioned a useless elixir, but those things were obviously virtual, due to the small quantity, the income created for Li Xi was actually not as big as imagined.
I didn't spend money before, and I thought I was quite rich, but now that I have built a research institute, I immediately found that I had no money in my hands.
And then, I have to invest more money into it.
However, Li Xi is not distressed at all when he invests money into it, anyway, this kind of thing, he earns it very easily, and for the time being, Li Xi's demand for money is not very big, especially if he can borrow this money and cover up his secret, it is a good thing.
Even if possible, Li Xi will try his best to develop all kinds of advanced technologies in his own research institute.
For example, the quantum portal, although the development of this kind of quantum portal does not necessarily have to be announced, but obviously, the huge benefits it can bring are simply unimaginable.
Just develop a quantum portal to teleport to the moon, and after the development, use manpower and material resources to build a large artificial dome on the moon, and then send some water and air to the past, leaving the air in the dome, and at the same time through special glass, for temperature insulation, so as not to lose the temperature inside the dome or when the sun is straight to the SHE, the temperature is too high.
This kind of place, you can live in it, just build a few villas, plant some osmanthus trees, it is a few excellent resorts.
To some extent, this place is simply one of the places in Li Xi's dreams.
Of course, the place of his dreams also includes Mars. If you build such a large dome on Mars, and then build a base, you can go on vacation at any time, plant some plants in the big dome, and even if possible, you can also mine the minerals on Mars.
Of course, it may not necessarily be mined, but if you put it in your own home, you know that there is an extremely rich diamond mine buried under your field, and whoever he is, he will wake up with a smile when he dreams.
This kind of life has always been what Li Xi yearns for, so the development of high technology has always been one of the things that Li Xi is looking forward to.
Now, being able to develop the abilities in certain fantasy worlds or mythical worlds into real technology through special mining methods is indeed one of Li Xi's favorite things.
Of course, in addition to these, it is of course more important that you can master these special abilities yourself.
For example, the Variety Technique of the Hundred Variety Fruit. It's just that for now, it's a bit distant. (To be continued.) )
