"Auction? Hahaha, Mr. Gao really has a unique mind, to be honest, I really didn't realize it. After listening to Gao Xi's words, James clapped his hands and smiled: "It should be possible, my inspectors are not only scientists, but also artists, especially for gold products and platinum products, there is a lot of research on these carvings and ornaments, it will never be wrong, well, this way, if Mr. Gao doesn't mind, I can take this work forward." ”

"Do you have an auction company in your gold shop?" Gossi asked, confused.

"Not only auction companies, but our group companies cover gold shops, appraisal centers, and auction companies, so let's put it this way, as long as it's about gold and platinum, we basically do it, and I forgot to tell you that we still have several gold mines in Canada and the United States." James said with some smugness.

The reason why he made things so clear was to show Gao Xi the strength of his company, so that Gao Xi could rest assured that he would hand over the things to them for safekeeping and being in charge of the auction.

"Uncle James, why don't I know about these things?" Dong Chen said in surprise.

"How can you know everything, after you came to the United States, you kid went to school all day except eating, drinking and having fun, and never asked me about the company, right?" James laughed.

Dong Chen scratched his head, thinking that this is also true, he is really not interested in the company or anything, unlike Gao Xi, who has always had a dream of running a ranch.

"In that case, it would be great, of course I am willing to deliver these two things to your company to help with the auction, as for the appraisal fee and auction fee, you can pay according to the standard." Gao Xi hardly knows anyone in the United States, so of course, he hopes that this matter will be as simple as possible.

"Ha, Mr. Gao, you will definitely be satisfied with your choice, our company will carry out all-round publicity and packaging for the two things that will enter, and of course, will also issue an authoritative appraisal certificate. Our auction house has repeatedly set high prices for gold products, and you will have no worries at all when you leave it to us. James was also relieved when he heard Gaucy's words, according to his estimates, the auction price of these two things may hit a new high, so that the auction house will definitely be able to receive a large amount of fees.

Although their company is also very rich, but as the head of the gold shop and auction house, the more money they make, the more bonuses they will naturally have, James still understands this truth, even if it is for himself, he has to work hard to do this thing well.

"Can you ask a question? I don't know if a few people can estimate the approximate price of these two things, I have a number in mind, of course, just estimate, if the auction price is less than this estimate, there is no need for a few people to be responsible. Gaucy believed that the auction price would be more expensive than the gold and platinum themselves, and that was for sure, but he didn't have an idea how much it would be, so he wanted to ask.

"Give him an approximate price." James said.

James spoke, of course the three part-time inspectors would not refuse, or the fat inspector said: "At present, the price of platinum products is more expensive, especially platinum artworks, which are very popular among some wealthy families in Europe, so this price, I can't estimate it too accurately, well, let's put it this way, your sword can probably be auctioned for about 40 million." ”

"Forty million? Is it RMB?"

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, we won't use RMB to calculate, it's all in US dollars!"

"Oh my God!" Gao Xi finally couldn't hold back his excitement, and stood up from his seat suddenly, 20 million RMB was enough to make him ecstatic, what kind of concept is this 40 million US dollars, it's crazy.

"Haha, your excitement is understandable, but we agree that it's worth the price, not just because it's made of platinum, but more importantly, it's just too artistic." The fat inspector laughed: "And this is only my lowest estimate, if you meet that kind of crazy buyer, it is possible to make a seventy or eighty million, after all, there are many rich madmen in this world, if you can meet the oil tyrants on the Saudi side, then you will really make money." ”

Gao Xi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then sat back in his seat, waiting for the price of the egg knife.

The fat inspector looked at the pair of egg knives and said: "This strange blade is not inferior to that sword in terms of artistic achievement, so the price is also comparable, plus it is another pair, this is very interesting, I estimate that it can be worth about 30 million US dollars." ”

"Didn't you say quite? Why is there so much less?" Dong Chen asked suspiciously.

"Well, this is just an estimate, and the error may be relatively large, as long as it is within 10 million US dollars, it is considered a comparable price." James explained.

This time, Gao Xi and Dong Chen were completely shocked, if the last two things were auctioned at a similar price, in addition to taxes and handling fees, the rest would have to be sixty or seventy million US dollars, which would be as much as three or four hundred million if converted into RMB.

"Brother Xi, you are about the same as my father's personal assets this time." Dong Chen's eyes widened and he said.

"Nonsense again, your father's personal assets are probably billions, and I don't believe that there are only hundreds of millions of hotels in so many chain hotels."

"What do you know, the one who opens a hotel is the least profitable, forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, I don't understand the specific things, and I can't say it clearly." Dong Chen sighed and said.

Although Dong Chen doesn't care about the family's business, he can often see from his father's face that this business is not easy to do now, especially the hotel business, which is not as profitable as he imagined.

James looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "With so much money, you still need to know how to invest, Mr. Gao, Dong Chen's lot of money is kept and invested by our company, he actually doesn't have to do anything, he can have a fairly high income, this income is basically the same as the middle class in the United States." So Mr. Gao, are you interested in letting us help you invest? You won't be at a loss. ”

Gao Xi has heard before, Americans are very good at financial management, do not want us Chinese, many people have no enthusiasm for financial management, basically put money in the bank, although in recent years, with the opening and development, some people have also begun to invest in real estate, collections, stocks, etc., but compared with the United States, it is not mature enough, and most people, still like to keep money in the bank, because they feel insurance.

"Thank you, thank you for your enthusiasm, but my money is used for another purpose." Gao Xi smiled and politely refused, no matter how much the two things could be sold in the end, his purpose had not changed, that is, to buy a piece of land and establish his own ranch.

"Oh, that's a shame." James shrugged, a little disappointed.

"No regrets, Mr. James, I may settle in the United States for a long time in the future, after all, my money still has to be invested and managed, and I will have to rely on you when the time comes." Gaucy did not completely cut off James's thoughts, and as he said, if the ranch makes money in the future, and he is too lazy to do anything else, then the money in the bank is meaningless, and it is obviously the best choice to invest it.

"Yes, that's really good, doing business with Mr. Gao is really a happy thing." James's originally disappointed face showed hope again.
