If you want to raise enough money, there is only one way for Li Sheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Take the valuable things in the space and sell them. The most valuable thing he could use in that space was the jade. The price of jadeite raw materials is not easy to estimate.

If the price of the jadeite sold is insufficient, then a second transaction will be made, which is a waste of time. Because it was not a business of seizing one hand and paying money with the other, what he wanted to do was to auction it.

Auctions are indeed the easiest way to sell an item for a high price. However, a prerequisite for the success of the auction is that the lot must be well-known. If no one knows about your auction, there are too few people bidding. If you want to get a good price, you can only hope for luxury.

So auctions always need a process. Many auctions even have to wait a quarter to find a sufficient number of lots before they can begin. Of course, there are also special shots.

Li Sheng has never taken anything out for auction, and he has never even participated in such a lofty occasion as an auction. But he knew that the strongest auction house in the world was Christie's - from novels. The protagonist of the novel will ask this company to auction his own things, or participate in this company's auction to have fun.

He checked and found that Christie's was planning to hold a summer auction in Lingang recently. It is not a special auction, as long as there is something valuable for auction, you can participate in the auction.

Christie's headquarters is located in Lingang. Li Sheng hurriedly decided to rush to Lingang, rented a small warehouse on the outskirts of the city, and then called someone from Christie's to come and see the goods.

The people at Christie's heard that there were several pieces of high-grade jadeite that were going to be auctioned, and they were very positive. Because that kind of thing can always fetch a high price in Huaxia.

They make money by charging a pro-rata fee, and the lot that can be auctioned at a high price is the one that makes them the most profitable. They agreed to come and see the goods the same day.

Li Sheng was waiting in the small warehouse.

Among Christie's men were a man and a woman in their thirties, and a balding middle-aged man. The man wears a white embroidered silk fan, which is very much like the old Chinese landlords.

After saying hello, the woman asked, "Mr. Li, don't you know that the jadeite raw materials you want to auction are here?" ”

"Yes. It's in these boxes. Li Sheng said as he opened one of the boxes. The shape of the jadeite, which has been completely unraveled, is not very regular, and the back point is flattened but the thickness is at least fifteen centimeters. The longest part is two feet, and the widest part is more than a foot. Under the lights, the eyes are full of ice blue.

The bald landlord's eyes widened, and he didn't know where to take out a small flashlight and open it on the outside of the jade. The light of the strong flashlight shines in, and the whole piece of jadeite brightens.

Lin Ming opened the other boxes and came over as well. Only then did the bald man put away his flashlight and said, "This is a piece of high ice that is very close to the glass species, and the planting and the ground are very good. ”

As for whether it was a fake, he just looked at it, and when he saw that it was still wearing a little leather shell, he knew that it could not be a fake. And judging from this technique of calcing, the person who dissolved the stone directly cut the jade meat, and a lot of jade meat will definitely be wasted. Although the thing is not his, he is still a little distressed: "This kind of material, the approximate market price per kilogram is at least 150,000 euros." ”

Then he looked at the remaining six or seven pieces, and there was a bowl of green glass with a large mouth, and the color was emerald. The bald man carefully weighed it and said, "The market price of this piece can reach eight million euros." ”

According to him, the market price of these pieces of jadeite taken out by Li Sheng added up to about 40 million euros. Of course, the auction is likely to be more expensive, and there is a risk that it will be sold at a lower price.

"Mr. Li, these jadeites, we thought we could participate in our summer auction. However, we need to send the jadeite back to the headquarters for valuation. Don't know what you mean? ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You want to pull it away?" Of course. I still have a few rosewood sticks here, do you auction them too? ”

"Rosewood?" The woman's eyes lit up, this thing had not been seen at Christie's auction for a long time. "Is it Rosewood?"

Of course, what hasn't been seen at Christie's auction for a long time is the small leaf red sandalwood. Pterostilbene microphylla is mainly found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and South Asia. However, in the past few hundred years, the red sandalwood has been cut down. Finding one in the forest now can make you rich overnight.

It is not easy for this kind of tree to grow into a mature tree. The saying that ten sandalwood and nine empty is because this kind of tree is easy to be hollowed out when the mouth of the bowl is large. This also leads to the reality that the small-leaved red sandalwood rarely has large timber.

Europeans were also very rare for red sandalwood, and finding a model of a coffin more than a foot long in Napoleon's funerary goods made them cry out in amazement.

However, they can't be blamed for their petty family, the existing small-leaved red sandalwood is basically collected in China. It is said that there is a queen of red sandalwood in China, who has a collection of hundreds or thousands of red sandalwood, each of which is larger than the incredible coffin model.

It can be said that it is not only money that can play red sandalwood, but also a hobby. Once they are collected, they don't want to be seen on the market again for decades. Therefore, it is indeed very rare to have a new small leaf red sandalwood material.

Li Sheng pointed to a pile of four-meter-long logs piled in the corner of the wall: "You can identify it." "It's a small leaf of red sandalwood, and it's definitely right. He looked it up on his computer.

The woman saw the pile of logs, each several meters long and more than a foot in diameter. Such a large self-rosewood log may not have appeared for more than 100 years. This wood seems to be very damp. It is precisely because of this that she is skeptical: "These are all red sandalwood? ”

Li Sheng takes you with a nod.

The young man then said, "I think we can get the stuff back first and do the testing." ”

His suggestion was very reasonable, Li Sheng had no opinion, and the woman agreed. So they called for a taxi. A truck is needed though. They need to go back and find it.

Half an hour later, a truck with a wagon drove up. It was followed by two small cars, and several people got out of the cars.

One of them, very gentlemanly, came in and nodded to the young man and woman, and then glanced at the corner of the warehouse where the timber was piled up. Li Sheng saw that his eyes seemed to be shining. The man walked up to the log and sniffed it a few times, then scraped it a few more times with a knife. Take a small metal case out of your pocket, open it, and put the knife inside. Soon, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned his head to the few people who came over and said, "It's Xiaoye Rosewood, but it seems that it has just been cut down not long ago." ”

Although the red sandalwood does not need to be seen whether it is an antique, if there is a certain age, the price can indeed appreciate. If it is a complete piece of furniture, then the price cannot be calculated by weight and volume.

If it is a newly picked red sandalwood, of course, the price will also be limited to a certain extent. But if there are so many in front of you now, then this restriction can basically be ignored. The red sandalwood that could be bought before was at most a small piece. Where have you ever seen the amount of this pile that could be used to build several new sets of furniture? This is perhaps the first time in a century.

It was initially determined that the thing was genuine, but it was not possible to evaluate it here. Things were quickly loaded onto the carriage. Then a car with bodyguards in the front and back escorted back to Christie's warehouse.

After a nervous estimate, the woman asked Li Sheng what he meant: "Because of the different grades of those jadeite raw materials, I suggest that they be auctioned separately, so that high-grade jadeite is easier to auction for a high price." However, I recommend that the red sandalwood be auctioned in its entirety. ”
