Chapter Seventy-Eight: Strange Treasures Emerge
ps: After taking medicine, Uncle Guo, who has become cute, is here again, and it is said that he voted for the recommendation, and he will be cute without taking medicine! Well, what a day!
After the red carpet ceremony, after a short speech, the jewelry show officially kicked off. 》
The central area of the No. 1 New Wing Exhibition Hall belongs to the display area that is not for sale, Li Yi decided to go there first, and heard that there are many heavy treasures this time.
The first exhibit he saw was a huge golden stone, with an extremely irregular shape and a pitted surface, which was very ugly.
After a little pondering, Li Yi understood that this was probably a piece of dog's head gold. It must be extremely unusual for a dog head gold to appear at an exhibition of this level, Li Yi squeezed over to take a look at the information, and sure enough.
According to statistics, so far about 8,000~10,000 pieces of dog's head gold greater than 10 kilograms have been found in the world. The largest number is in Australia, accounting for 80% of the total amount of doghead gold. The largest piece of doghead gold is produced in Australia and is called Holtman. The net weight of the dog's head gold is 285.77 kilograms, containing 92 kilograms of pure gold, and its gold content is 32.2%.
And this piece of ko's head gold is the world's largest ko'head gold called Holtman!
Next to the dog's head gold is a sapphire that is hundreds of times more valuable than it, although it is only 122 carats, but according to industry estimates, this sapphire is estimated to be worth 600 million pounds (about 6.3 billion yuan)!
Hearing the whispered exclamations of the audience around him, Li Yi also deeply admired the layout of the exhibition, and the contrast between the two extremes, one large and one small, made people have a very intuitive concept of the value of heavy treasures.
He knew that this sapphire should be the one that had just been produced by the Cullinan diamond mine in South Africa, and he heard that after participating in this jewelry exhibition, it would be shipped to the Netherlands for cutting and polishing, and then it would be auctioned in Johannesburg, South Africa. He remembers that the discovery of the gem caused the company that owns it, Petra, to rise 8 percent in its share price on the day it was announced.
The third exhibit is the "crown of the sea" inlaid with 288 saltwater pearls, 1,880 diamonds and 18K yellow and platinum, Li Yi saw the information of this treasure when he was in college, and knew that this is one of the cultural exhibits of Nanzhu at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, which is now stored in the "Nanzhu Museum of the Republic".
Unexpectedly, Li Yi actually saw the jade watermelon that had just arrived at the scene in the middle of the night in this area!
He had always thought that the jade watermelon would be displayed at Van Cleef & Arpels' booth, but when he saw the audience surrounding the jade watermelon, Li Yi suddenly understood why Master would hand over this work to Van Cleef & Arpels. The reason for Shi Qiba's statement is one thing, but what really makes Master make up his mind is because of the tremendous energy of Van Cleef & Arpels in the world jewelry field.
This kind of grade, scale of the exhibition, can be placed in the center as a non-sale display of heavy treasure, must have submitted the relevant information very early, and after a lot of review will be allowed to be exhibited, then, with the energy of those domestic jewelry companies, most of them are not able to carve the day before yesterday, yesterday only sent to the scene of the jade watermelon sent to this booth.
If this is a surprise, then the next heavy treasure that made Li Yi's mouth instantly full of bitterness, Nima, sure enough, greed is the original sin!
It turned out that what he saw was an ancient treasure, a golden step shake worn by the Qing Dynasty Huixian Emperor's concubine in the collection of the Yanjing Museum!
This Jin Bu Shao is also a phoenix shape, but compared to the one Li Yi received, there is a world of difference in style and workmanship, whether it is the gems used, or the integrity of preservation!
Not to mention the former master, no matter what the hell this Huixian Imperial Concubine is, she can't be compared to Da Yu'er! I couldn't help but check the information, and sure enough, it was just a concubine of Emperor Qianlong, and that Xiaozhuang was the grandmother of Lord Qianlong!
After standing for a long time, Li Yi sighed, after collecting everything, what else can be done? Besides, the world is so big, and he and that family are not on the same trajectory at all, as long as Brother Long and his wife don't say it, who will know that things are in his hands? Take 10,000 steps back, even if they say it, no one may believe it, and it may not reach the ears of that family!
There is even a possibility, that is, the family itself is also hiding the storage of the golden step!
Damn the bird to the sky, immortal for thousands of years! Even if they did come to the door, he would just be a person who picked up the leaks, so what could he do?
After figuring it out, Li Yi's heart suddenly relaxed, and he even felt a little more beautiful with the treasure he saw.
After watching the exhibition in the central area, Li Yi has been thinking of a question that has been vaguely thinking of since hearing Shi Qiba's introduction, suddenly became clear, there are many jewelry exhibitions around the world every year, but it seems that I have never heard of such a grand time.
After all, this is just a hypermarket with the name of a jewelry show, this time not only a large number of stars appeared, but also walked the red carpet ceremoniously, and most importantly, there were more than a dozen political celebrities ceremoniously attended, do you want to make it so tall?
was pondering, suddenly someone slapped him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar smiling face,
"You kid, I haven't heard from you since you graduated, but I didn't expect to sneak to Hong Kong to participate in the jewelry show! Honestly, are you getting rich and ready to buy some treasures to deceive those ignorant little girls? ”
Li Yi laughed and gave this guy a heavy blow, with a stern expression,
"Now that you know the answer, you should bury it in your heart, and if you say it, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Kill your hammer, Lao Tzu can beat you three by himself!"
The person who came was Li Yi's classmate in college, the bunk bed, the third in the dormitory, and his most suitable friend in college, Zheng Shusen!
"Third child, why did you come to the jewelry show? Don't sue me, you've also made a fortune, and you're going to trick two guests into going back to warm your bed! ”
Zheng Shusen is a native of Yucheng, and his Mandarin is very non-standard, and he has to pop out a few words of local accent from time to time. At the moment, he was excited, and the scene was quite noisy, and he didn't notice the word "also" in Li Yi's words at all.
"Where does Lao Tzu have such a good life, this time I came to participate in the exhibition on behalf of the company, to put it bluntly, he is an errand runner and a mover."
The words are pitiful, but the expression on his face is very proud, looking like you admire me and praise me. But think about it, just after half a year of work, I was able to be selected by the company to participate in this kind of tall exhibition, and it is still in Hong Kong, which is really worthy of pride.
"Okay, don't show your ugliness there, I remember that you seem to have entered Rongcheng Hongxiang, how about it? Is work fun? ”
Zheng Shusen suddenly looked like a deflated ball,
"Didn't go there in the first place! I changed companies and stayed in Beijing! It's just that this treatment is a bit pitiful, and it's still an apprentice! ”
"So miserable? That's a! It's not even an internship, you don't negotiate it every minute, and when the time comes, the time is wasted, and the money is not earned......"
"Lie to you, the trainee jewelry appraiser is the company's position setting, and the formal employment contract is signed, and the piggyback can also solve the Yanjing account! Hahahaha! ”
Li Yi looked at the proud guy in front of him speechlessly, and suddenly laughed, he went to work, he still hasn't changed at all, he is still the hateful guy back then!
"What about you? Where do you work now? Dog's day, I didn't say a word when I changed the phone! I'm afraid that my brothers will ask you to borrow money! ”
"I didn't find a job, I went back to my hometown after two months in Yanjing, and now I have a master and am learning jade carving."
Li Yi was very miserable after graduation, so he deliberately changed his phone number. Later, although I got the spirit card, I couldn't share it with my friends, and I didn't know how to deal with the friendship for a while after I got rich, and there were many things, so the contact was delayed.
"So miserable? You were at the top of your class! ”
Zheng Shusen thought for a moment and patted Li Yi's shoulder hard,
"Don't say anything, you can come with me later, this time the company's senior management has come over several, and the biggest boss is also there, let me introduce you, whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your kid!"
Li Yi scratched his head ashamedly, he was very guilty, although not a word he said just now was a lie, but sometimes you can listen to the truth of stepping on a horse!
"I'm not in a hurry, it's been so long anyway. Hey, I want to ask you a question, why do I think this exhibition is not ordinary, why is the specification so high? ”
"Haha, you can be regarded as asking the right person, sue you, non-insiders really don't know!"
Zheng Shusen looked left and right sneakily, and said mysteriously:
"A lot of things have happened in Hong Kong in the past two years, and one of them is very big, you know it, right?"
Li Yi nodded, that incident had been in trouble for several months last year, and it was indeed a bit excessive.
"These things have not only dealt a heavy blow to Hong Kong's tourism industry, but also had a very bad impact on the political situation, which is why they decided to raise the standard of this exhibition so high! According to the CEO of our company, the review of the registration materials this time is several times stricter than other exhibitions of the same level! But later, after seeing the arrangement of the organizing committee, everyone said that it was worth it! ”
Li Yi nodded again, of course it's worth it, not to mention these heavy treasures on the same stage, just the catwalk at the door just now is enough to put it on the news for half a day.
