Chapter 9: Treasure Appreciation (2)

"And what do you think of my clock?" Ji Xin naturally didn't dare to compare his own things with the emperor's treasures, although it seemed that his own clock was not bad, but he hadn't heard anyone say that the expensive clock was even bought by someone in the West at a price of tens of millions of dollars, and those rich people didn't even frown for it. "As long as you can sell it for a few million, RMB, brother is not greedy."

"Hehe" hung everyone's appetite Wang Lao, unhurried to explain "guest, your full name of this bell should be called the imperial copper gilt to turn the flower to the water method of Daji gourd bell", is a typical style of the early Ming Dynasty, its whole body copper gilt, full of carved flowers, the left and right sides of the inlaid bronze shell-shaped ornaments and delicate flower and leaf friezes, showing a strict symmetrical layout, the following four feet turn strange songs. Like the clock-shaped decoration above the main entrance and the main entrance of "Yuanying Temple", like the glass gourd roof of "Haiyan Hall", the rose branches and vines are entwined like the head of the dragon, and the fan-shaped shells, buttercup leaves and rectangular carved lace patterns can be seen in many places in the garden, so that the unique rhythmic characteristics of this clock coincide with the Western buildings at that time, presenting a three-dimensional look like architecture. As for the specific price, you have to ask Manager Lin. ”

After knowing the source, Manager Lin is worthy of being a professional in this area, and quickly gave the auction price of similar clocks over the years, "In 2008, Christie's Hong Kong held a special auction of "Qing Imperial Clocks and Watches from the Collection of the Nezu Museum of Art in Tokyo, Japan". A gilt bronze inlaid enamel stone flower pot top water music clock was bought by a private European collector for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, setting a record for the highest price in the history of watch auctions. In 2011, the Beijing Poly Spring Auction sold for 58.4 million yuan, and the bronze gilt and flower-turned Western boy music clock was presented to Emperor Qianlong by foreign envoys, once again creating a record high. Mr. Ji, this treasure of yours is undoubtedly a fine watch in the clock, compared to the previous two at all, coupled with the appreciation of the collection and the intact condition of the preservation, if you hand it over to our company to operate, it can reach at least 70 million, or even higher."

At this time, the more Manager Lin said, the more excited he felt, he was sent here by the company, and the opportunity for promotion every year was always reserved for those who found good things in charge of various places, as long as the collection in charge of the collection was discharged at a high price, tickets, cars, and seats were waiting for him. For a while, Manager Lin stared at the table clock on the table, as if he was looking at his long-lost lovers, and Ji Xin even suspected that if he wasn't here, he would want to pounce on him and play with it in his arms.

"More than 20 million? Little brother, have you made a fortune? Got rich? "Brother-in-law, I can't help myself because of the frightening number, how much money does it cost, I can't earn that much in my life. It's just that there are more returns, this person never thought about taking advantage, just just happy for his younger brother, his wife has a good relationship with his family, and he has always regarded him as his own brother.

"Hehe, yes, I didn't think I accidentally became a multimillionaire, or it was calculated in dollars" Ji Xin, who was also full of joy in his heart, touched his head, knowing that the thing was true, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, Gu Yu is really a good thing, Ji Xin no longer has a trace of doubt about the content of the letter, it is impossible for someone to tease himself with tens of millions.

After waiting for a while, Manager Lin saw that the two had no intention of continuing to talk, and gritted his teeth, "I don't know what the two gentlemen are thinking about?" If you are not in a hurry to ask for cash, wait for next month, our company will jointly hold a big bank auction with the United States Strange Auction House, when a domestic and foreign tycoon will participate, I believe that the quality of your collection to become a member of the auction is no problem, as long as there is enough time to operate, those who really like antique clocks in the industry will definitely not be stingy, may be able to reach hundreds of millions of sky-high prices"

Ji Xin was attracted by an olive branch thrown by Manager Lin, and after discussing it with his brother-in-law, Ji Xin reciprocated the favor and did not hesitate to say that the auction of things was operated by Manager Lin on his behalf, in order to thank him for sending things to the big auction in the United States. Anyway, it's the same for whoever you want to deal with, as long as you get the money in the end. Wait for a month, you will get an extra 30 million, if such a good thing is refused, it is really the biggest fool in the world.

"I didn't expect anyone in this line to be so deep, the price difference between the same thing is not a little bit and a half" signed a simple entrustment agreement, and at the suggestion of Manager Lin, the two went to the bank to save the things, this is a treasure of hundreds of millions, even Ji Xin didn't dare to take it with him casually. "Who's to say it's not" nodded very approvingly, "This is also our luck, just in time, but as long as we don't steal or rob, we just need to be patient." Haha, brother-in-law, let's hurry home, I can't wait to tell my parents the news. ”

The two of them rushed home with an excited face, and after the situation was explained, it naturally caused a burst of disbelief, why is there so much money for such a small clock? The shrewd old mother will not be able to turn the corner. "Mom, rich people don't think the same way as us, they buy this thing to show off or increase their family heritage, and if they don't have money, it's just a string of numbers after a certain extent." Holding her mother's arm and sitting on the sofa, her sister's expression was calm, as if her brother's sudden wealth was very normal.

"Okay, old sister, even the thoughts of rich people are so thorough" Ji Xin had to admit that his sister's opinion was actually quite reasonable, "Which TV series did you see it?" ”

""British Dynasty", an American drama, what's wrong" my sister replied without thinking, and only reacted after a few seconds, "Okay, sure enough, money is the backbone of a man, and after a while, I dare to take my sister's words." Without waiting for everyone to react, he laughed out again, "Okay, I'm also shocked, brother, you can do it, this investment is worth it, it's hundreds of times in the blink of an eye, it's not a good thing for you to start with!" ”

"It's you who don't take it seriously," Ji Xin naturally didn't dare to refute, "I don't know who lived or died yesterday, and I don't want to admit that it's true." "Don't make trouble with your sister and brother" At the critical moment, my father stood up, "Xiaoxin, now that you have such a large sum of money, what are you going to do?" ”

"That's right, since it's not bad for money, don't you want to go to the United States?" Thinking of her son being so far away from her, Ji's mother was reluctant for a while.

"Dad, money is still not the same as career, with this money, just make my plan a little faster?" Ji Xin pretended not to see his mother's eyes, "I'm all planned, first go to the United States to sell a farm or ranch or something, the land over there is private, as long as you buy it, it will be our Ji family's lifelong industry, haven't you been talking about our family back then that our family was also a small landlord and belonged to a big family in the town?" When your son buys the land, you can go and see what you want to plant."

Sure enough, I want to be a farmer in my bones, and the eyes of the father of the vast lintel suddenly lit up, and Shaoqing looked at his wife who was waiting for his statement again, and then whispered, "Then you also have to have a detailed plan, don't buy land at a loss, at least keep the balance between income and expenditure."

"I know, you can rest assured" agreed to his father's request, Ji Xin turned his head to look at the elder sister, "I heard that those foreign brand-name bags, cosmetics are particularly rich, and the price is not expensive" as if talking to himself, "Moreover, it is now popular to send children to study abroad, I think Ran Ran also wants to go out to mix up a good education, but he can't lose at the starting line." ”

"That's right, brother, sister supports you, don't worry about going abroad boldly, by the way, your uncle is responsible for studying abroad or something, and I want to collect information in the future."

glared angrily at the father and daughter who were bought by Xiao En Xiaohui, and Ji's mother taught, "It's really useless, this is in the war years, you may become traitors." "I know you have your own ideas, I still say that, it's okay to go out, you must pay attention to safety, and remember to bring me a daughter-in-law back next year, I am still waiting to hold my grandson?" ”

Ji Xin suddenly felt a little like lifting a stone to hit his feet, but he didn't expect his mother to still remember this, it is estimated that she is willing to let herself go out, also to let herself meet more girls, luck always has to be found?

"Got it, Mom" In line with the principle of stabilizing my mother first, this guy wrote a blank check without stumbling, anyway, it's still a long time" Besides, even if you go to the United States, it will be with the auction company next month, and it's still early? ”

"Don't be careful, I'll write this down on my phone later, I didn't do it when I saw it, you see how I clean you up" Don't mention Ji's mother is another ear to mention, the room is very lively, and later when Ji Xin became famous, there are experts of all sizes who specialize in studying his life experience have all written such a sentence in the book: "Not lost by the huge wealth, that Chinese came to the United States with his all and ambitions, but the people at that time did not know that this was the peace before the storm, and the wolf really came!" ”
