Chapter 359: Private Collection
After returning from Ulris, Lin Quan told Denise about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Denise has no opinion on this matter, if you cooperate with Uris, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing, the money earned from this cooperation is relatively stable, it is a stable channel, it is simpler than the auction house, the auction house has more procedures, and if the high-value mahogany is launched more, it will inevitably depreciate, plus this kind of mahogany is not easy to obtain, so she agreed to cooperate with Yuris.
Denise's thoughts are similar to Lin Quan's, he can't stay in Europe for a long time, so the matter here can only be handed over to an agent to take care of, and if it is a cooperation with Uuris, the cooperation between the two sides will be relatively simple, and the procedures will be more simplified, the other party only needs to take an overseas account to send money to Lin Quan, and then pick up the goods, Lin Quan doesn't even need an agent.
So the two sides quickly signed a contract.
After the contract was signed, Yuris was in a good mood and actually took Lin Quan to visit his collection room.
This palace, which is similar to a careful museum, stores nearly 7,000 exhibits of all sizes, and this number alone scares Lin Quan enough!
7,000 pieces, even if the average price is 50,000 euros, that is 350 million euros, and if his collection is like the oil painting he bought from Christie's, the value is immeasurable!
Lin Quan knew that the value of this guy's collection must be very valuable, and with such a quantity, his collection might be more than many museums!
No wonder he is the richest man in the world, the value of so many collections alone is immeasurable!
"These are all things that our family has spent centuries searching for, and we have spent a lot of time searching for them!"
Yuris sighed a little, and when his eyes swept over the collection one by one, the expression on his face was very intoxicated, looking at these things, he felt a lot better in his heart.
"What's this one?"
Lin Quan saw something similar to a cane, but this thing was obviously not, because its height was relatively long, about 1.8 meters, it was obvious that no one's cane was so long, this was a bit like a sign?
There is also an eagle carved on the cane, and the falcon is half-folded with its wings, making it look ready to fly at any moment.
"Oh, this, this is the ancient Roman legion!"
Yuris glanced at it and said with some smugness: "This thing cost my grandfather 200,000 francs!"
The Legion of Ancient Rome?
Lin Quan was taken aback, ancient Rome was the only empire in ancient Europe that existed for a very long time, the history of this empire is thousands of years, and according to historical records, the Roman Empire is very advanced, cultural and military are very developed, even more developed than medieval Europe.
The Roman legions were all professional armies, well-equipped and capable of fighting, and these carved eagle knots were their symbols and totems, and each legion was different.
Yuris is in his sixties, so how old must his grandfather be?
This thing must have been bought a long time ago, at least fifty or sixty years ago!
Lin Quan thought that the price of 200,000 francs must have been a sky-high price at that time, but now that I look at it, the value of this thing is only going to rise a hundred times!
Lin Quan followed the old rich man and continued to walk forward, and soon he was attracted by a long sword that flashed with cold light.
Before he could speak, the old rich man said: "This is the iron sword of the Kushan Empire, although the Kushan Empire has not existed for a long time, but their attainments in weapons are also quite high, although this sword is an iron sword, but there are obviously some things added to it, so that its hardness and flexibility have reached an excellent balance point, so that it is not easy to break, and at the same time indestructible!"
Lin Quan nodded, and didn't speak, he didn't have any impression of what the Guishan Empire was, as if it had never been mentioned in the textbook.
"This is the lion king's sword, he used this sword to command the knight legions to fight Saladin during the conquest of Jerusalem, but unfortunately, the holy war was not completed!"
"This was the first steam locomotive to appear in Europe in the seventeenth century, and this locomotive was one of the first ones, and it is now very difficult to find them on the market because they are so difficult to maintain and maintain!"
Lin Quan noticed that there had been some deformation and distortion on this big guy, and many places were rusty, such rust had penetrated into various places, and it was impossible to completely remove it, and there was no way to do rust prevention treatment, no wonder he said that it could not be preserved, but it was also a very remarkable achievement to be able to preserve it for three or four hundred years! Lin Quan thought to himself.
"It's ......"
"Sheep's head!"
Lin Quan shouted in a lost voice, Yuris looked at him, shook his head, and said, "This is a sheep's head, but it's just an imitation, it's not the real thing!"
Lin Quan looked at him in surprise, unable to understand what he meant for a while.
Yuris didn't seem surprised by his reaction, and said: "The head of the sheep used to appear in the auction hall at the beginning, but it was an underground auction house, which is what everyone calls the black market, if you buy things in it, you will not be protected, and there are often people in the black market who take risks and do some murderous things, you must also know this, Oriana should have told you!"
Lin Quan nodded, the black market still exists, but it is relatively hidden.
The tax burden in France is very heavy, the auction things have to be taxed, and they have to be taxed when they go out of the customs, so for overseas buyers, these two taxes are very difficult to withhold, so they will trade at the bottom, save taxes and fees, but will increase the commission extraction, after the buyer buys something, the underground black market will find a way to help them transport things to a place called Morocco in France, this small country is a country with access to the sea, and it is a gambling mecca, the tariffs here are very low, and the customs are not strict, because there are many rich people who drive yachts directly into the gambling, so as long as their auction goods are transported hereIt's easy to shoot.
However, the risk of doing so is very large, the main risk is not on the seller's side, but on the buyer's side, if the other party's reputation is not high, they are likely to be empty, so there are not many people in this underground black market, unless there is a very precious auction item, there will be people to hunt for treasure.
According to Uuris, could this sheep head be bought at an underground auction?
