Hearing Shi Qiba say that Wang Song actually publicly set the nature of this white jade cup, Li Yi finally couldn't help but gasp.

To tell the truth, not only him, no matter who it is, the first reaction when he sees this jade item on the catalog should be similar to him, this is a tasteless imitation and a pity to discard. And judging from the starting price, Sotheby's should not be sure.

But now it's different, what is Wang Song's identity? What is his status in the direction of antique jade in the appraisal world? To put it mildly, once an antique jade is identified as genuine by his old man, the fake will be regarded as real!

"Now the highest transaction estimate of this cup has skyrocketed to more than 250 million, Li, it's not worth it, it's not worth it!"

Shi Qiba sighed, he really couldn't understand, could this white jade cup be more beautiful than a pigeon's blood ruby? If you want to, now that there are so many jade carving masters, just buy a piece of material to imitate, but I'm afraid that I can't even spend one percent of the money, are these people crazy?

Whether others are crazy or not Li Yi doesn't know, but he knows that he is really moved, this is the real Zigang jade, for him, who is about to embark on the road of jade carving, this thing is undoubtedly more attractive to him than to others.

However, as Shi Qiba said, it is really not worth it to go bankrupt to photograph such a thing.

In fact, like other antiques, ancient jade carving, as a handicraft, its real use value is not necessarily high, but for various reasons, they are artificially endowed with history, culture, inheritance, etc. These invisible labels, the value of the guide zhì can not be measured by common sense at all, but has reached a kind of "how much you think it can be worth as much as it can be worth" realm.

But don't think that the entire collection market is going up, and arbitrarily think that a collection will definitely increase in value. In many cases, onlookers are unaware of the complex entanglement of interests behind a sky-high auction.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for a collection to be auctioned at a sky-high price and not taken over by the next family after a few years, but most people have no way to know.

The same is true of this Zigang style of white jade cup, in Li Yi's judgment. Even if it is genuine, the price of 50 million should be its ceiling, but now it has been hyped up to 250 million, aren't these people afraid that they can't pass it out when the drum stops?

Li Yi decided not to care about so much. Let's take a look at the lot first, it's a great opportunity to open your eyes.

"By the way, Mr. Shi, I have a classmate who got good grades in school. Now I work at Mikimoto in Japan, but you know the kind of corporate culture in Japan, so he is a little uncomfortable and wants to change companies, but I don't know ......"

Shi Qiba's expression was not unexpected by Li Yi, he was not like some people in China, as soon as he heard the introduction of this relationship, he directly took care of it, but first asked Ouyang Chun's age, education, character, work status and other issues in detail, and then said cautiously:

"That's it. I have an hour to spare at noon, you ask him out to talk to me first, and if it is appropriate, I will recommend it to our Hong Kong branch. ”

Li Yi nodded, took out his mobile phone and called Ouyang Chun, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he said to Shi Qiba:

"Then at noon, at the restaurant of the Renaissance Seaview Hotel, we will eat together."

Shi Qiba smiled and nodded, there are still lots to see. Let's continue talking during dinner.

Bidding farewell to Shi Qiba, Li Yi found the white jade cup that was placed in a separate glass cabinet, looked at it carefully, and called the staff on the side. Asked:

"Sir, can you take this thing out and take a look?"

The staff member hesitated, it was normal to have a lot in the preview, and this was not a particularly valuable treasure, and there were many people who had used it in the previous previews in other places. But now it's different, since that statement appeared in the newspaper yesterday. The value of this cup has soared to nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars, can you still give it to people casually?

He looked at Li Yi carefully and asked with a smile:

"Hello sir, is that so, do you have a ticket for the auction? If you don't bring it, I'm sorry, it's too expensive for me to call the shots. ”

If you can't be the master, you can find someone who can be the master? Li Yi was hesitating whether to call Liu Xibo, or simply go back to the hotel to get the admission ticket, when suddenly a voice came from the side and back,

"Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you, when did you come over, why didn't you go to the company?"

Li Yi turned his head and looked, happy, this is really sleepy and met the pillow, this person is Stefen, an appraiser from Sotheby's!

"Hi Stephen, it's a pleasure to meet you, why, the company sent you on a patrol?"

Stephen nodded, pointed to the cup, and said:

"Interested in this thing? Xiao He, open it and let Mr. Li get started, this is our company's honored guest. ”

Xiao He hurriedly nodded yes, took out the key and opened the glass cabinet, and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yi.

Li Yi carefully took out the cup, he didn't look closely, although there were not many people on the scene, but no one could guarantee that there would be any accidents, so he just roughly appreciated it and directly used the spirit card, and then his heart jumped, it was really true!

After putting the cup away and chatting with Stephen for a few more words, Li Yi said goodbye and left. While looking at other lots, I wondered, whether to shoot or not?

After a while, he smiled and shook his head, the estimated price of this thing has reached 250 million, and his entire net worth plus the "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous Age" that is about to be auctioned off may not be able to reach this amount, why bother here?

However, it doesn't mean that you really can't shoot, you can try it when the time comes, what if the 250 million is just a rumor? What if you can win it for only 20 or 30 million?

Soon it was noon, Li Yi looked at the time and went out to walk towards the hotel.

"Li, if you really want to participate in the auction, you must be careful when bidding, the price here is Hong Kong dollars! I once had a friend who miscalculated the exchange rate when he was photographing something, and unfortunately missed it. ”

Li Yi was taken aback, not to mention that he really forgot about this problem!

"That'...... Mr. Shi, is the 250 million yuan of the white jade cup a soft girl coin or a Hong Kong dollar? ”

Shi Qiba smiled bitterly:

"Soft sister coins, Hong Kong dollars, close to 300 million."

The two chatted for about ten minutes, and Ouyang Chun hurried over,

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't take a leave of absence, I can only wait for the end of work, so I have been waiting for the two of you for a long time."

Shi Qiba smiled and nodded, while Li Yi directly patted the position next to him and motioned for him to sit here.

"Oh, can you briefly describe what your first impression of seeing me was?"

Hearing Shi Qiba call him Ou, Ouyang Chun was stunned for a moment, and then replied hesitantly:

"I think you're a very strict but humble person......"

"No, no, I mean to ask you to describe my appearance, not to ask you how you feel."

Ouyang Chun's brows were raised, he stared at Shi Qiba carefully for a while, and said:

"The color of the shirt and the outerwear are a little incongruous, of course, it may be because I am Oriental, and my hair is ......"

"Ok, Ou, do you know about Sotheby's spring auction? In this spring auction, there is a rare pigeon's blood ruby rough of more than 30 carats, after identification, everyone thinks that it is very good, can cut about 20 carats of top pigeon's blood ruby, what is your estimate of the rough? If you photographed this rough, what would you do with it? And then how are you going to sell it and how much will it cost? ”

Li Yi gasped, Damn, Lao Shi is going to play really! These questions involve the rough ruby market, the uncontrollability of auctions, jewelry design, marketing positioning, marketing channels, and many other aspects, and there are so many uncertainties that there is simply no one standard answer.

Ouyang Chun obviously didn't expect Shi Qiba to throw such a difficult question, he just made simple preparations according to the normal interview process, this time, it was useless.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to let it go, what is there, at most he doesn't want him!

"My estimate of this rough is between 130 million and 180 million, if it can be auctioned, I think I will design it on a scepter or a crown, of course, for the sale of the royal families of those countries, as for the price, I think it should not be measured purely by the actual value, if the opportunity is right, it is likely to be exchanged......"

"Okay, I'm done. Li, this classmate of yours is a little more cunning than you, hahahaha! ”

Li Yi and Ouyang Chun looked at each other, cunning...... Is this good or bad?

Shi Qiba quickly finished eating, he glanced at the time,

"You eat slowly, I have something to do in the afternoon, wait for my call."

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he waited for the phone, he said that there was still a play, at least Shi Qiba would recommend it to the company, but with the cunning comment just now, he was not optimistic about Ouyang Chun's next interview.

"Whatever, I thought he was just asking about academic qualifications, jobs, why he wanted to change jobs, etc., who knows...... I was stunned just now. ”

Ouyang Chun stuffed two chopsticks of vegetables into his mouth,

"Forget it, I'll send a few more resumes when I go back, it's really not okay for a smaller company, damn, I've had enough anyway, and I was scolded by that perverted woman again today!"

Li Yi patted him on the shoulder speechlessly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing, so he stopped talking and waited for him to finish answering the phone.

Ouyang Chun spoke English, but it was very simple, it was all words. Li Yi paid attention to it and found that it was all okay, thank you, ok and the like, and then saw the joy on the faces of his old classmates, and couldn't help but wonder if the notice of Van Cleef & Arpels' interview had come down.

"That's it! Van Cleef & Arpels Asia Greater China Marketing Specialist, annual salary of 300,000 yuan! Start before March 15th! Damn, Li Yi, you kid really has a big face! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
