The auction was conducted in an orderly manner, this was a charity auction, so the people who participated in the scene were also polite bidders, and there was no situation where both parties wanted to get a lot and raised each other's prices, which was too lo.
Lin Qiangsheng observed that when someone sees something, he will make a gesture or a gesture to everyone, so that there is generally no one to compete with him, in this case, the auctioneer is just a passing scene.
So, when the auction from China came to the stage, Lin Qiangsheng also signaled to everyone present, he was the only Chinese on the scene, and everyone also expressed their understanding.
Only a few Japanese tourists were more interested in Chinese antiques, but they had no intention of competing with Lin Qiangsheng, so he simply completely took over the Chinese art in the auction, and his behavior also attracted the attention of the auctioneer, so that when a Chinese auction came to the stage, he first observed in his direction.
"Sir, I'm Faul Morgan from Christie's, and here's my business card!" At the time of the delivery auction, the auctioneer handed Lin Qiangsheng a business card.
After Lin Qiangsheng took the business card, he also gave him a copy of his own, and then said, "Mr. Morgan, I don't have a place to store these things now, do you provide a safe deposit box?" โ
Folmorgan nodded and said, "Of course, Christie's provides long-term and short-term storage services for guests, and you can rest assured that these collections will be kept by Christie's!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng nodded with satisfaction, picked up a small jewelry box from the paddle on the table, and then said with a smile: "Except for this, the others are kept with you, help me sign a 10-year long contract!" โ
Formorgan said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, you will need to sign a few documents, including the authorized custody agreement, the insurance agreement, and the contract book, after which you can safely hide it in the safe deposit boxes provided by the world's major banks that cooperate with Christie's." We have agreements with these banks, and Christie's has access to more than 100,000 safe deposit boxes for customers like you! โ
Lin Qiangsheng nodded. Said: "Okay, I can sign it right away, can I pay here?" โ
Folmorgan said, "Of course, please wait. Mr! โ
The most valuable of the auction was the emerald ring, which is said to have been made by a Belgian nobleman before World War II and then passed into the hands of a wealthy American businessman whose descendants are now ordinary people, who mortgaged the ring to Christie's. Now it is being used by this company for charity, and by the way, it shows its strength to the upper class society in the United States.
Lin Qiangsheng opened the jewelry box, and the green ring in the middle of the silver glitter was immediately exposed, and he smiled at Du Ping, who was standing next to him, and asked, "Do you like it?" โ
An emerald gemstone the size of a fingernail is set in a precious metal holder of platinum and silver, the gemstone is deep emerald green and well maintained, and the silver is re-replaced and sparkling silver, with a platinum band. It looks so clean and elegant!
Du Ping nodded happily, and she said to Lin Qiangsheng in surprise: "I like it, Johnson & Johnson, do you really want to give it to me?" โ
Lin Qiangsheng took the ring, picked up Du Ping's left hand, and put it on her ring finger, Du Ping looked at the gemstone ring on his finger, raised his head and stared at the man in front of him, looking extremely ashamed.
"Honey, this ring is a good match for you!" After Lin Qiangsheng finished speaking, he hugged her. Gave the woman a long kiss.
There was sudden applause around, Du Ping woke up and gently pushed Lin Qiangsheng away, at this time she was too shy to raise her head.
Formorgan smiled and handed the gem identification certificate and maintenance rules to Lin Qiangsheng, and said to the two, "Sir." Madam, the gemstone is very fragile, please take care of it in the future! โ
"In addition, the agreement has been prepared, sir, you can sign it now, and we will notarize it as soon as possible at nine o'clock tomorrow, and then the agreement will take effect!"
Lin Qiangsheng nodded. Picking up the pen on the table, he looked at the paper and signed his name, then pulled out his checkbook and wrote a check for $650,000.
In this auction, Lin Qiangsheng auctioned two Ming Dynasty paintings and one Ming Dynasty porcelain, as well as six Qing Dynasty antiques.
In the 80s, the price of Chinese goods in the world was not high, this price he felt quite affordable, and Christie's also issued an appraisal, the future appreciation space is very large, and when the domestic antique boom comes, the price is ten times or even dozens of times today!
Du Ping was very pleased, she leaned on Lin Qiangsheng's body, the two went back to the room and made love together, and the moment they entered the bedroom, Lin Qiangsheng remembered something.
He said, "Wait for me for a while, I'll make a phone call and I'll be here in a moment!" โ
Although Du Ping was curious, she didn't ask anything, and said, "Then I'll go take a bath first." โ
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and scratched her nose and said, "You are already clean, just take off your makeup." โ
Du Ping shook her head, and said while taking off her clothes: "I just want to wash, wash it cleanly, you wait for me." โ
Lin Qiangsheng guessed that the woman might have some careful knots, and he didn't say anything, nodded and watched her change into a nightgown.
Under Lin Qiangsheng's gaze, although Du Ping was very shy, she no longer dodged, but generously changed into pajamas, and then smiled at Lin Qiangsheng and turned around and walked into the bathroom.
Lin Qiangsheng walked to the living room and sat on the sofa, he picked up the phone and dialed a number, which was a call to Esther in Los Angeles.
Previously, he gave Esther an important task to form and deepen his intelligence network, and this woman will also use her rich experience as an agent to build a security team for Lin Johnson!
Since experiencing several dangers, Lin Qiangsheng has been concerned about his own security work, this world is still very dangerous, especially for people like him, if one day he or his family and friends are in danger, only his own strength can rest assured!
Esther carried a BP machine and a mobile phone, it was late at night, but she was still in the gym doing recovery training, Lin Qiangsheng gave her the job to keep her in full condition, and life in China unconsciously made her a little slack, and now she is recovering her body.
The woman picked up the phone and asked, "Lin, what's the matter?" โ
Lin Qiangsheng said: "Today I met Time Magazine columnist Kgremman, I promised him to do an interview tomorrow, you help me collect what kind of questions he likes to ask guests, and give it to me before 9 o'clock tomorrow!" โ
Esther nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you a fax by 9 o'clock tomorrow!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng hung up the phone, and he called the hotel's service switchboard again, and said, "Please help me find a copy of the latest Time Magazine interview with Kgrumman, thank you!" โ
The switchboard lady said, "Yes sir, your waiter will send it right away!" โ
After thanking him, Lin Qiangsheng stood up and walked back and forth in the living room a few times, thinking about the person Kgremman.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to give this guy three chapters of the law, I can't discuss some negative content about China and the United States, and I don't want to get involved in any political conspiracy!" Lin Qiangsheng thought in his heart. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
