482.Mystery Cigar Humidor (1)
Li Du was just about to speak, but Saiditer's eyes were attracted by the cigar beside him: "Royal Danish cigar?"
"Yes, it seems that you have a lot of research on cigars, and the brand is not very well known in the United States. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Royal Danish cigars are currently only circulated in some local tyrant circles, and the leading circles of the Middle East, China, Japan, South Korea, and some countries in Africa are the main consumers.
In addition, the countries that have entered the civilian market are concentrated in Northern Europe, such as Denmark, Switzerland, Finland, etc.
"Of course, I love cigars and their amazing aromas, and they're great cigars, aren't they?"
Hans immediately asked, "Can I go to the auction?"
Saidit shook his head: "Although Danish royal cigars are relatively rare in the United States, it is not impossible, this thing can be bought on the Internet, and the auction value is not large." ”
He came specifically for the giant gun, which is a handmade work, which has not been seen in reality, and has not been launched in major arsenals, so it will definitely attract the attention of many military enthusiasts.
The reason why the Hessman Thrift Auction House is willing to help the auction without commission is to expand its popularity, and this kind of thing has a huge market among the people.
In other words, he got the right to auction the giant gun, not to make money, but to expand his popularity.
Of course, for auctions, as long as there is popularity, it will become easy to make money.
Seeing that Saidite was interested in cigars, Li Du handed him one and said, "How about giving it to you, how about tasting it?"
Saidit smiled and waved his hand to refuse: "No, this cigar is too expensive, you should keep it and sell it." Actually, I'm not very interested in it, I'm interested in humidors, and I like to collect them. ”
As he spoke, his eyes fixed on the cigar box placed on the ground.
Cigar box collections are more common in the United States, in the early years, cigars belonged to the aristocratic goods and upper class luxury, cigar boxes as a tool for preserving cigars, generally made beautifully.
Li Du is also drying the humidor, which strives to create a tropical environment when the cigar is rolled, and the humidity is maintained for a long time, and the material of the box is a little damaged.
A good humidor is also an asset, as it allows cigars to be stored in a near-ideal environment, so that cigars can be stored and carried as much as possible in their original flavor.
Therefore, if you guarantee that the humidor can be used properly, you can make money even if you don't sell it to collectors.
This time they got a total of 10 boxes, which are divided into three styles, and eight of them belong to the same type, which are hinged triple cigar boxes, and the logo should belong to Dunhill.
Dunhill is the definitive men's luxury brand that challenges the definition of luxury, as well as international luxury brands, with more than 220 boutiques around the world.
The other two don't have a logo, but they should be part of a series with these eight boxes, and they all have a big 'DM' logo on them.
The eight identical boxes are made of brown and yellow cedar wood and are made in a modest style, in the shape of small boxes like a bread machine.
The two boxes without a logo have very different styles and take a non-mainstream route.
I saw that the top of the box was inlaid with a large steel skull, and there were some metal ornaments on the edge, the material of the box was unknown, but it was not different from cedar.
Saiditer's eyes lit up at the sight of the two boxes, but he tried to keep his eyes on the humidor at Dunhill, trying not to pay attention to the skull box.
But how perceptive was Li Du's perceptiveness? Saidit only glanced at the skull box, and the affection in his eyes was noticed by him.
Of course, he didn't say anything, he was waiting for Saiditer's performance.
Sure enough, the auctioneer looked at the humidor and said, "These boxes are beautiful, are they famous brands from Dunhill?
Li Du asked, "What do we think about it?"
Hans laughed, "He wanted to barter, trade thrift, and asked what we needed and was willing to exchange it." ”
Li Du nodded suddenly, there is still black talk in this old goods transaction?
He said: "Sorry, these boxes can't be replaced, we're going to use them for cigars, you see, 224 cigars, eight boxes, each box of 28 cigars, just the right match." ”
Saidit looked regretful: "It's a pity, I like them a lot, but there are two humidors here, who seems to have made them by hand? They don't have cigars in them, do they?"
It can be seen whether the cigar humidor has been filled with cigars recently, and the traces are obvious.
Hans said, "These are two empty boxes, what, do you like it?"
"I haven't seen them, and I might be able to add something new to my collection, but I only want one, what are you willing to trade it for?"
Hans looked at Li Du, who smiled and said, "Don't look at me, this guy actually wants to get these two boxes from us, and his goal is these two boxes." ”
Saidit hurriedly said: "No, no, you misunderstood......"
Li Du said: "Count me wrong, in this way, I have changed my mind now, I will keep these two skull cigar boxes, and vacate two brand-name boxes for you, how about it?"
Saidit looked at him stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Are you sure? This is Dunhill's box!"
Li Du said: "Don't talk nonsense, man, it's not okay to play routines with us, maybe Boss Fu didn't tell you, my observation is different from ordinary people, and your true thoughts have already been revealed." ”
Hans laughed, "Looks like you're really aiming for the two of them? Come on, man, tell us the truth, what's going on with these two boxes?"
Saidit also wanted to pretend to be confused: "I don't know, Lee, you must have read it wrong, these two boxes are the first time I have seen them, I swear, I have seen them for the first time!"
Li Du said: "We like honest friends, man, if you don't be honest, then we won't hand over the giant gun to you, because we don't worry." ”
Upon hearing this, Saidit was helpless, raised his hand and said, "OK, I surrender, you are such a terrible bastard! Well, I admit that I probably know them......"
"Maybe?" asked Hans, interrupting him.
"Because like I said, it's the first time I've seen them, the first time I've seen them in reality," Saidit said. ”
"And what the hell are they?"
"Do you know Daniel Marshall?" he asked, not answering.
Hans looked at Li Du, and Li Du was happy: "I'm a Chinese, how can I know you Americans?"
"No, Daniel Marshall is not an American, he is an Englishman, his father was an avocado farmer, he grew up working with wood, at first his dream was to build ships, then he turned to making cigar boxes and won big," Saidit said. ”
