Chapter 48: Less Time Is Not Better
I deserve to sit in the hall downstairs today, and those casual passengers who want to buy cultural jewelry and pretend to be forced in front of the girl are not in good spirits, and they are destined to bump into a trench hand who doesn't look at the price when buying things. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Akiki Yasumoto, secretary of the Board of Supervisors of Legend Entertainment, is one of those unfortunate.
Some viewers may wonder: Isn't Legend Entertainment a company of the Chinese people? How can there be Fusang people among the secretaries who assist in the management of the board of supervisors?
The answer is: This guy was really not the manager of Legendary Entertainment, but after Sun Zhengyi's equity was cashed out at the end of 03, Sun Zhengyi, as the third largest shareholder of the company, strongly asked to be inserted.
Sun Zhengyi's original name was Yasumoto Zhengyi, and he was a native of Fusang.
Since the 80s, when SoftBank Group's investment tentacles were getting deeper and farther, Yasumoto Masashi felt that it was quite inconvenient to invest in Dongyi and Huaxia with the surname Fusang, and in order to prevent the target market from boycotting Fusang goods from affecting his business, he took back his ancestor's old surname of Yiyu and used it and named Sun Zhengyi.
Therefore, the secretary of the Legendary Entertainment Board of Supervisors and Akiki Asumoto, who is currently sitting in the hall of Sotheby's night show, is actually the son of Sun Zhengyi's cousin. After Sun Zhengyi intervened in Legendary Entertainment, he naturally wanted to prevent the major shareholders Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying from using the company's money related transactions to make profits, so he inserted his family's nephew in to help him watch it.
Although Aberdeen is not qualified to participate in the IPO photo on the NASDAQ exchange this morning, he is also qualified to come to the United States as an attaché to take care of some errands during the IPO process.
As the first Internet stock to land on the NASDAQ from across the ocean after the end of the Internet winter, the wave of media attention set off by Legendary Entertainment can be said to be on par with companies like Ahri in another time and space when they came to NASDAQ.
In the past few days, taxi drivers in New York City, when they see Asian faces taking a taxi to Wall Street, will say to them: Are you from Legendary Entertainment? Or are you following the media to grab the news?
The real senior executives and major shareholders of Legend Entertainment are very low-key and disdain to swagger and deceive women. And it is precisely those half-hangers who are fake tigers, who have been like fish in water these days.
For example, this Yasumoto Ueki is obviously a secretary, whether he meets a female investment broker or a courtesan, he claims to be a supervisor, and his cousin gave him a lot of money, so he spent a lot of money and really rode seven or eight oceanic horses that were in good faith.
The Aberdeen family has 1.5 meters of genes for generations, and riding on a 1.7 meter long-legged Yanmar, the sense of accomplishment of conquest is really hearty.
So, tonight he appeared at Sotheby's and wanted to pretend to be forced, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
In fact, among the entourage of Legend Entertainment, he was not the only one who came, and there were two others who were willing to spend money or come to gain knowledge. It's just that those are not Sun Zhengyi's henchmen.
"Smack~" At this moment, a little more than half of the auction has passed, and the host on the stage moved his hammer to enter the next lot.
"Here is the seventh lot tonight, a group of works by the François family, a family of jewellers in Antwerp in the 1880s, completed by Jean-Jacques François from 1884~1887.
The client was Leopold II, and the source of the material was the 'Star of the Congo', which was paid tribute to Leopold II by the then Governor of the Dominion of the Congo, and Jean-Jacques François made this set of diamond jewelry from the scraps cut from the rough after completing the processing of the main diamond......"
The host spitted and introduced, and finally announced very passionately: "The low price is $350,000, the auction starts!"
Judging from the published information, the weight of the rough stone of the "Star of the Congo" that year was 65 carats, but the shape was not very good, so the cutting loss was relatively large, and only 39 carats were left after cutting. The François family later paid for the scraps. Because it was a special supply to the royal family, Leopold II didn't like the scraps, so he sold them half and gave them for approval.
However, the largest trimmings are 7~8 carats, and they can be more than 5 carats after reprocessing. There are also more than a dozen "scraps" of more than 1 carat, and they have made this group of jewelry in front of them.
Now it is only the beginning of 04, and the finished diamond of one carat E clarity in the international market is only 4000~5000 US dollars, and the single diamond of 5~6 carats is about 200,000 US dollars.
However, as a series of diamond jewelry, the biggest advantage is that the clarity and fire of each piece are very similar, and you can do some artistic fits that are not usually tried. And after all, there is a certain historical value, so the starting price of this group of jewelry is almost the price of cabbage, and only the price of the diamond itself is sold.
"$370,000!"
"390,000!"
"400,000!"
Some of the guests in the venue shouted out after listening to the introduction, and one of them was the management of Legendary Entertainment.
When Asumoto Ueki heard the voice of his acquaintance, he also glanced sideways slightly, and he was embarrassed to directly slap the other party in the face. It wasn't until another short-eyed white man quoted 420,000 yuan and pressed down the legendary entertainment manager's offer that Ayamoto took the opportunity to speak: "$500,000!"
Sitting next to him tonight is the daughter of the owner of a New Jersey real estate agent, and she is also beautiful. After playing seven or eight times in the past few days, Asumoto was shocked when he saw the girl in front of him, and he planned to put away his heart and pursue it seriously, so he brought this kind of occasion.
His cousin is a billionaire billionaire, he has been a horse boy for many years, and he still has tens of millions of dollars in cash to save money, and for a lifelong event, he should take out 500,000 yuan to buy a jewelry and catch a wife. Besides, diamonds will not be lost and depreciated after they are bought, and their wives are not all their own things when they marry home.
When shouting out the price of $500,000, Ueki Yasumoto clearly felt the bulging big breasts of the foreign girl next to him squeeze and rub his arm, and his heart was dark. In the follow-up, there were a few people who were not long-eyed and grabbed a few rounds with him, and he continued to shoot violently in line with the mentality of "diamonds will not lose money if you buy a collection", which is similar to the kind of speculator who buys up and does not buy down.
"700,000!" When he shouted 700,000, his forehead began to sweat.
"1 million. "There's a box upstairs that strikes.
This is the competition for VIP customers, and the sound in the venue immediately thinned out, and every time at least the auctioneer shouted "XX 10,000" before someone else could add it, and it started at 50,000, and no one was embarrassed to add 12,000 or 20,000.
"2 million. ”
The resistance was completely extinguished.
The people in the market are not stupid, knowing that even if it is for the appreciation of the value of the investment, as long as it exceeds $1.5 million, there is no possibility of rising enough capital for at least ten years.
Whose money is not blown by the wind, and jewelry is not the only antique artwork, there are equivalent alternatives, what is wrong with this money to buy something else?
"Disperse, I've met Lengzi. Asumoto Ueki obviously heard a person not far away complaining in Chinese, who was a legendary entertainment colleague he knew.
"HONEY, LET'S NOT BE LIKE A FOOL, I'LL BUY YOU SOMETHING ELSE. Ayamoto planted trees and coaxed the woman next to him.
The foreign girl also knows each other, and on the surface she is not immediately unhappy. It's just a little curious, there is such a man in the world who doesn't care about whether it's worth it or not in order to chase women.
Aberde's face was a little unbearable, and he secretly had a chance to take a look at it for a while, who was the saint who threw so much money.
finally survived until the end, and the local tyrant upstairs took several more shots, adding up to a small $5 million spent in one night.
……
The auction was over, and Gu Cheng didn't know that someone from inside the company, and someone from Sun Zhengyi, noticed his whereabouts that night.
If he knew, it would save a lot of trouble.
The next day, Li Ying generously wore a ring made by Jean-Jacques François to attend various events. The ring is worn on the middle finger of his right hand, indicating that he doesn't want to find a boyfriend and already has someone he likes.
It was a ring of yellow gold, not platinum - because it was not popular for jewellers in the 19th century to use platinum as a ring - but the whole ring was not a golden yellow, but completely white.
Because all the gold surfaces are set with slender strips and small grains of broken diamonds, the gold is perfectly encased.
In general jewelry processing, there is no elongated diamond shape, and this material can only be produced from the leftovers of huge diamonds. Once such jewelry appears, almost like cultural relics, calligraphy and painting, you can know the origin of these jewelry, and the inheritance is orderly, by checking the records of the insurance company.
As for other necklaces, earrings and whatnot, there is no need to go into details.
Gu Cheng didn't have time to take care of these things, and in the next few days, he still had to attend some public relations activities, which could be regarded as a platform for the aftermath of the IPO; Pan Jieying and Li Ying more or less accompanied him to attend different occasions.
Sun Zhengyi's side received a small report from his cousin Yasumoto planting trees in a timely manner.
"The set of jewelry on Li Ying's body was bought by Gu Cheng from Sotheby's and given to her?
After listening to this incident and related analysis, Sun Zhengyi became more and more convinced that Li Ying took advantage of the situation to dedicate herself to Gu Cheng's IPO in the state of "spring breeze and horseshoe disease". After further inspection, all kinds of exposed scraps showed that this woman was very skillful, and she was even more meticulous than a courtesan.
Although Li Ying's attitude at the moment is just to be willing to be a lover to Gu Cheng, and to "bow low and be small" for Gu Cheng's attempt to "marry" with Ivanka or Li Yunxin, maybe there will be more subtle digging possibilities in the future!
As for the "marriage between Quan Baoya" that Gu Cheng considered when he controlled Quan Shunyu as a puppet...... It seems that Gu Cheng has been left behind, the bad girl has been abandoned, and the poor friend has broken up!
"Money and status are indeed a person's corrosive agent. An IPO, nominal wealth skyrocketed several times, and he became the richest man on the Internet in China. Young man, he is still too undetermined, he is only 20 years old, and those titles have already made him lose himself. ”
In Sun Zhengyi's heart, he had already made a conclusion to Gu Cheng similar to "hurt Zhongyong".
