Thinking of this, Ji Kai suddenly remembered that he seemed to have 27 suspected diamonds. First go to Sotheby's auction house to appraise it, if it is really a diamond, then it happens to be sold and you will have money to buy a plane.

Ji Kai called Tony of Sotheby's Hong Kong auction house, explaining that he was now in Los Angeles, California, USA, and had some gems in his hand that needed to be appraised by Sotheby's auction house in the United States.

Tony also saw the news about Ji Kai in Xiangjiang, and knew that he had acquired a lot of properties during this time, and it was estimated that he was short of funds, and he had to take out the collection for auction for money. Hurriedly said that he would contact Sotheby's headquarters in the United States for him, and it was estimated that someone would come to identify the gems for him soon.

After thanking Tony, Ji Kai waited for Sotheby's people to come in the Los Angeles group of companies.

The people at Sotheby's U.S. headquarters probably also knew about the collection that Ji Kai auctioned when he was in Xiangjiang, and thought that the collection he took out this time must be of great value. immediately called Ji Kai, and after asking where Ji Kai was, he said that relevant personnel would arrive in Los Angeles, California before 3 p.m. today.

After receiving a call from Sotheby's to arrive at the company building, Ji Kai asked Mariana to send someone out to pick them up, while he waited in his top-floor chairman's office.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Outside the door, three middle-aged white men with suitcases walked in and introduced each other to each other. Ji Kai took out a cloth pocket from his coat pocket, in fact, he put his hand into the pocket of his clothes, then pretended to take something, and then released the cloth pocket through the storage ring.

This cloth pocket was purchased by Ji Kai when he was out playing, and it happened to be used to hold these gems. Ji Kai opened his pocket and let 27 gems of different colors scattered on the reception coffee table in the office, signaling that he could start the identification.

Seeing the gems on the coffee table opened by Ji Kai, the three appraisers were dumbfounded, thinking that it couldn't be glass, right? There is no such big diamond, it is the size of an egg.

However, out of professionalism, the three of them opened their suitcases, took out some analytical instruments, and began to identify these gemstones. After a series of testing methods, the three finally gave an identification report.

"Mr. Ji, these 27 gemstones of yours do belong to diamonds, and they are colored diamonds among diamonds, which are very precious, but they are still rough stones and have not been processed. The two largest pink diamonds, weighing 425 and 418 carats respectively, are only a little smaller than the first African star, but much larger than the second largest African star. The rest of the colored diamonds are also worth a lot of money, and the specific data is included in this appraisal report. ”

Ji Kai took the appraisal report, which listed the size and weight of each diamond, and what refractive index and the like, Ji Kai didn't understand, but when he saw that it was a real diamond, he was much more relieved.

"Mr. Ji, now, let me formally introduce myself, I am Philip, a jewelry appraiser at Sotheby's American auction house, and I am also the vice president of Sotheby's auction house.

"Oh?" Ji Kai couldn't believe it, what is the vice president of an auction house doing, he has to go to the appraisal in person, aren't you rich Americans all playing around, surrounded by beautiful women all day long?

"Oh, Vice President Philip, it's a slack! You may be seated, you may be seated. ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, I just like to see these cute treasures, so I often follow my colleagues in the jewelry appraisal department to do appraisals, I love these treasures so much. I am very happy to be able to deal with them regularly! After Philip finished his thoughts, he continued:

"Mr. Ji, I wonder what you're going to do with these diamonds? Do you want to keep your collection or choose to sell? You've dealt with us at Sotheby's, and if you choose to make a move, I'm sure you won't be disappointed at Sotheby's. ”

"Yes, Mr. Philip, when I called Tony to contact Sotheby's, I asked Sotheby's to help with the auction. However, this auction commission issue? Ji Kai did not explain how the specific commission was calculated.

"Mr. Ji, thank you for being able to hand over these treasures to our auction house for auction, but this time is different from the situation when you were auctioned in Xiangjiang last time, even if these diamonds are very precious, this commission still has to be charged. We can't just leave it every time, we'll go bankrupt.

Well, this time we're going to reduce the auction commission to 5 per 1,000, right? ”

"Hehe, thank you for that. We can sign the contract now. "Ji Kai is also very happy to see that the commission is so low, after all, he has saved a lot of money.

"Mr. Ji, don't you ask, what is the approximate valuation of these colored diamonds?"

"There's no need, anyway, when I sign the contract, it will be indicated, and if the price I am not satisfied with at that time, I will take it back myself and sell it after processing."

In the end, witnessed by the lawyers of both parties, Ji Kai signed the entrusted auction contract, which stated that the 27 colored diamonds were valued at $3.5 billion, but they needed to be auctioned separately.

Ji Kai estimates that few people can come up with so much liquidity, except for the group of rich guys in Dubai, of course.

Because the current time is not very coincidental, and Ji Kai wants to auction it out as soon as possible. The two discussed that Sotheby's would hold a temporary jewelry auction before Christmas.

Later, until Sotheby's held the auction, Ji Kai did not go to the scene again, he felt that since it was all jewelry auctions, it was useless for him not to buy them, so it was better to stay at home and wait for the money to be counted.

In order to pass the time of waiting, Ji Kai contacted Angel, an assistant of the Fuguo special line, to find a professional aircraft manufacturer, and he needed to buy an airplane.

Tell Lina directly the requirements of the plane, let Lina contact her, and he will make a final decision.

Ji Kai's requirements for the aircraft are: to be able to fly long distances, without refueling, you can fly from Los Angeles, California to China; The interior of the aircraft should be luxurious, and it needs to have seats that can seat at least 30 people; Inside, there should be at least 3 bedrooms, 3 washrooms, and a kitchen where you can cook delicious meals at any time; There should be a banquet hall where you can chat, watch movies, and play games; Even ordinary seats must have a flat lying function to ensure comfort; Finally, you should use it immediately, and you don't care if it's second-hand.

After Lina finished talking about the requirements for the plane, he also asked her to start recruiting relevant crew members from now on, and she couldn't wait for the plane to be bought without a crew member, he couldn't wait that long.

Just when Christmas was approaching, Lina finally found a well-made plane, which met Ji Kai's needs, the plane was originally purchased by the oligarchs on the Russian side, but unfortunately it was taken by the emperor before it could be enjoyed, and it is estimated that there is no chance to buy it again. Only then was the aircraft manufacturer took it out to see if it could be sold as soon as possible to collect the funds.
