Chapter 74 Asia-Pacific Auctions
Tang Hai rode back on a motorboat and finally heard a piece of good news that he had been waiting for a long time!
Gamboa's lawyer finally helped him contact the auction company, and it was his 'Chenghua blue and white boy flying kite eggshell porcelain vase' that was auctioned!
The appraisal proves that Tang Hai has already taken the time to get it and spent the money, there are four appraisals here in Seattle, and they are all kept in several major companies, and two of them can even be found on the Internet.
The mud, glaze and sea smell can be directly seen to be antiquities, carbon 14 identification and element identification together, plus there is a batch of eggshell porcelain produced in Jingdezhen in the same period, it can be judged that even if it is not the same batch of kilns, it is also the same period and the same place of mud! This proves the absolute authenticity!
In recent years, there have been some changes in collecting habits in the collecting world, and wealthy collectors no longer want to go to the collection themselves or ask experts to do so. Buying by yourself is equivalent to sending money, and asking experts may be tricked, and now they believe that many institutions jointly certify, so that in case something goes wrong, they can also claim compensation.
Rich collectors are now not afraid of spending money, antiques are different from real estate, as long as there is no third world war, antiques can only become more and more expensive, even if there is a world war, it is still expensive to come back after the fight!
As soon as it was judged that Tang Hai's things were genuine, the auction company took it.
Malena looked at Tang Hai with big eyes, biting her lower lip slightly with a little flesh, looking like she was pouting, how cute Tang Hai thinks of her now, is this the legendary dragon girl of good fortune?
"I'm hungry and want to eat the grilled eel you made."
“…… You bear kid......"
……
In fact, there are quite a few auction companies in Seattle, and the auction companies here are very strange, they can auction almost anything! The annual volume of fur auctions can scare people to death!
Tang Hai also saw another auction in Seattle last year that shocked him!
This side is only very strict on purified concentrated products and chemicals, but it has a high tolerance for the original Dama leaves planted, and the reason why Gamboa can make a big splash in Seattle is because he only sells big in the case, and he has not been caught selling baby millet several times.
The most shocking auction Tang Hai saw was that a farmer auctioned off a big man's leaves! It is a plant that can grow up to 3 meters tall and has a lot of leaves, and that person is sacks of sun-dried leaves for public auction! The location was at the small farmer's market in Bray Town, and there were even a few uncles to maintain order on the spot!
……
Tang Hai also thought that Gamboa had helped him contact the auction company in Seattle, but it turned out that he had contacted Xiangjiang Asia-Pacific International Auction Co., Ltd.
The registered capital of this company is only 10 million euros, and it has only been registered for a few years now.
On the phone, Gamboya said: "This company knows how to get Chinese people to buy overseas Chinese antiques. ”
Tang Hai understood in an instant!
……
Founded in 2009, in 2010 it obtained the qualification for the auction of China's second-class cultural relics, and has held 16 large-scale auctions in full accordance with international regulations, as well as 26 small and medium-sized auctions!
Of course, the total transaction volume is only 4 billion yuan, that is, about 700 million US dollars, this figure makes Tang Hai look painful, he looked left and right for a long time, and then he was sure that he definitely did not miss a single digit.
Forget it, your own things are not peerless treasures, can you still expect to fetch any sky-high prices? Second-rate antiques were auctioned by a second-rate auction company, and Tang Hai himself was quite satisfied.
The auction has its own charter, such as the pre-auction display and the notification of the auction in place.
The articles of association of Heung Kong Asia Pacific Auction Company are still very transparent.
Originally, they only had permanent auction offices in the United Kingdom, Xiangjiang in China, Treasure Island in China, and Singapore, and Seattle in the United States was the fifth, and they wanted to open up the American market in this way.
Tang Hai's bottle arrived late, and it was not an official kiln or a royal treasure, so there was no need to do a global tour, just display it in Seattle, and then get a new 'auction catalogue' to give to the rich.
There are twenty-three things in total, and the last three are "? This is to keep the mystery alive.
And Tang Hai's porcelain is actually the 20th auction item!
When Tang Hai filled in the auction intention, the reserve price was $150,000, but the atlas actually put his things behind like this! The following annotation has 'kiln variant, the only surviving product of the same style', which seems to be quite important to his big vase!
"This thing of mine looks like it's worth a lot! Luckily, I didn't sell it for $80,000 that day! Tang Hai looked at the album with great interest, a black suit and a white shirt, and a red tie, all of which Malena had selected for him.
"By the way, it's my first time in a place like this, how can I pretend to come often?" Tang Hai didn't talk to himself this time, but turned his head to look at Ma Lena.
"You just have to talk less." Malena rolled her eyes helplessly. She had recently excelled in her schoolwork, and she had also won the championship in the school's spring swimming competition, and Merlin allowed her to choose any day off, and the school sick leave was also solved, so she chose today. originally wanted to come and see if there were any big names and big stars, but Tang Haidong looked around and talked a lot, which made her regret coming.
Jason and Mary are behind the two, Jason is still a 10,000-year-old rock with no change in expression, but Mary, like Tang Hai, is also a little curious.
"I see, I'll talk less."
"Good."
“…… You bear kid......"
……
"Is that the man?" In a VIP room, a tall man looked at Tang Hai, it was Carter, who had been keeping a low profile!
He had memorized Tang Hai's information, after all, in the height range of 175 to 185, there were only so many young Chinese nearby, Tang Hai had used 'real kung fu' to knock down four black people in a short period of time, one of which was even a 300-pound 'giant strong man'!
Although there was no real evidence to point to Tang Hai that time, if Uncle Tiaozi really wanted to find out about a matter in China, there were only a few things that they couldn't find out!
Carter knew that the situation of Tang Hai was very detailed, including that he went out to sea from the black ship of the Vietnamese in Shenzhen, and then transferred to the ship. On the ship of the Dark Lord's Mardin, I knew that more than 100 people who were smuggled away, and more than 20 died on the boat, I knew that Tang Hai had worked in a black shoe factory, I knew that Tang Hai had met a top Chinese chef and learned from him as a food delivery part-time teacher, and I knew that Tang Hai's wife was afraid that he would rob the child's things, so she deliberately changed a puffer fish he made, and successfully expelled him from the New York chef world, and even knew that he had a living by picking up garbage for a while......
Tang Hai forgot many things himself, but Carter memorized them!
Because Tang Hai ranks in the top five in the suspiciousness of many 'target characters'!
A person beside Carter looked at Tang Hai for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not him." He sucked, and top athletes, let alone martial artists, would be very mindful of their diet and sleep. He's so thin now that he can't make it to the quarterfinals even if he participates in women's unrestricted martial arts. ”
Carter sighed and left the ledge, while the other man followed.
……
Tang Hai and Ma Lena were looking for a seat, however, Tang Hai suddenly saw a celebrity he knew, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him!
……
Thank you for holding a bow and Rulai, and the two book friends for their rewards!
Rush!
