Chapter 344: Business
"Hehe, thank you Mr. Lin!"
After Oriona finished speaking, she stopped looking at Lin Quan and them, and began to study them intently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Her glasses were obviously not ordinary glasses, Lin Quan saw her turn from time to time, only to find that there were three layers of lenses on these glasses, each layer of lenses was very light and thin, but he didn't know what it was used for.
"Did she find anything?"
Denise also ate this bowl of rice, seeing that Oriana's movements were very professional, her brows furrowed slightly, her expression was a little serious, Lin Quan looked at her, and asked in a low voice: "How about we put this thing in Christie's auction?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be bad!"
Yes, it must not be bad, after all, Christie's auction house is so famous and so powerful.
"Well, I think so!"
Lin Quan nodded and said.
Oriana studied for a long time, and finally took off her gloves and took off her eyes, the expression on her face changed slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of joy in her eyes that could not be concealed.
But the moment she looked back, the joy in her eyes was gone.
"Mr. Lin, congratulations, this is an out-of-print Huanghuali furniture, the time of production is about 450 years ago, these Huanghuali if I am not mistaken, it should be an ancient tree produced in the mountains of northern Vietnam, the age is about 1300 years old, the material is outstanding, the texture is very uniform, it is a first-class tree, and the workmanship of this furniture is very surprising, there are very exquisite dragon carvings on the back and armrest, this should belong to the royal family or the royal family!"
Lin Quan glanced at Denise, and Denise's conclusions were similar to those of Oriona, but Denise's theses were found in classical books, and Oriana said it casually, obviously, her vision was more sophisticated, and this knowledge was stored in her brain, and when she wanted to use it, she could call it up casually.
"Royal supplies, I really didn't expect that!"
Lin Quan saw the Chinese above, and had already guessed that this was related to the Vietnamese Nguyen clan, but he didn't know how Oriana saw it, did she know Chinese characters?
"Hehe, I've seen this thing in an illustrated book, but it's just a portrait, it's a thing!"
Oriana said casually, " Mr. Lin, this furniture has a long history and is very well made, but the maintenance of these hundreds of years does not seem to be done well, and there is a little decay outside, I think this is because of air erosion, but the texture of mahogany is very dense, and it generally does not enter the water, and this air erosion will not be very fast, but Mr. Lin does not have a very good preservation space here, if Mr. Lin can trust us, you can give it to us to expose, at Christie's, we have a special storage room that can be used to preserve these things!"
Oriana sat down elegantly, stroked her hair very casually, and said lightly.
"Oh, the price of your storage over there must not be low, I can't afford it!"
Lin Quan waved his hand, although he didn't think that Christie's would swallow his things, at that time, he could rest assured that he would be relieved to put such an important thing with someone who had just known him for a short time.
"And we're going to auction this thing soon, and we won't be at home for too long!"
Oriana glanced at Lin Quan, knowing that he was hinting at himself.
"If Mr. Lin wants to auction this thing, you can leave it to Christie's, we are very familiar with this piece, and we will definitely be able to sell it at a price that you are satisfied with, Mr. Lin!"
Oriona is very happy to receive a business, the auction house auction, you can get 35% of the auction price, if this thing is put up for auction, the price will not be less than 2 million euros, which means that they will earn at least 700,000 euros, although this money is nothing to Oriana, but she can still make money with her hands, she is naturally happy.
"Well, I believe in your reputation at Christie's, after all, you are the largest auction house......!
Lin Quan seemed to be a little hesitant, touched his chin, and stared at the table with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Mr. Lin, do you have anything else to say?"
Oriana felt a little tired, obviously she came to discuss the ownership of this castle, but now she is starting to pull out for some additional conditions, it's no wonder that she is not tired!
"I wonder if Christie's auction house is interested in top-quality mahogany?"
Lin Quan pointed to the row of small-leaved rosewood forests in his front yard, and said to Orianna: "If you are interested, we can provide redwood like this, well, live, and the age of the tree is more than 1500 or even 2000 years, of course, what we provide is solid, very good quality things!"
Oriana looked at Lin Quan in surprise, did this person know what he was talking about?
Is the 2,000-year-old mahogany still alive?
This quickly brought Oriana to mind a place: Yosemite National Park!
This is a national park located in California, USA, and this park has a large number of trees, and one of them is particularly famous, which is the Maripa Giant Sequoia District, which is famous for its more than 500 redwood trees over the age of 2,000!
Could it be that this man was going to the United States to steal the rosewoods? At least nowhere else, she hadn't heard of a large number of surviving rosewood forests.
"Mr. Lin, our Kaiyun Group is a law-abiding multinational group, and we won't do anything illegal!"
She felt the need to remind Lin Quan, after all, although the mahogany in this place was very tempting, the risk was obviously greater, and the success rate was very low to attack in this heavily defended place, and it was very likely that she would fall into it.
"What? Is it illegal to do a mahogany log business in France?"
Lin Quan was a little stunned, he listened to Denise's suggestion and prepared to plan for development in this area, but he didn't expect to encounter such a problem.
"Well, no, the business itself is legal in France, but at present, the world's surviving mahogany trees that are more than 2,000 years old seem to be in the parks of various countries, and it is illegal to cut down these mahogany!"
Orianna couldn't have said that it was wrong for you to steal trees from the Americans' national parks, and wouldn't it be embarrassing for Lin Quan to say this if she really didn't have the intention?
"Hehe, Miss Orianna, you probably misunderstood, the mahogany I mentioned was all grown by ourselves!"
Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said proudly.
