*****************
Unlike Chinese who play antiques, they pay more attention to the material, and the collection of jade should pay attention to whether it is Hetian jade, and the collection of furniture should pay attention to wood.
The most important thing about Western collection is historical inheritance, basically on the material, unless it is an antique made of diamonds or top gemstones, there are generally no special requirements.
That is to say, they pay more attention to whether this antique has been used by celebrities before, whether there are any historical gimmicks, and in this regard, they pay more attention to archaeological value.
And the box in front of me, as well as those silver coins, just happened to be very much in line with the tastes of European and American collectors.
Needless to say, this is the first currency issued in Australia, and it also has a very special shape and a very unique historical significance.
And this box, it's even more not simple, this is the first governor of Australia used, with these two East and West bonuses, then the value of this box is not ordinary.
Although the historical status of the Australian Governor is not comparable with the Queen's family, even with the ancient royal families in Europe, but on the Australian side, it is a former hegemon.
Such a box, put in the European and American markets, must be very popular, if it is taken to the Australian market, it will be more valuable, not to mention.
You must know that there are a lot of local tyrants in Australia, and they like to collect, so there are many people.
“…… So, if you want to make a move, you don't have to take the box anywhere else. As long as it's on the Australian side. So the rich people here in Australia. and museums, it must be rushed, and it will definitely be able to fetch a higher price than in Europe and the United States......"
Belinda made an estimate for Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen touched his chin and nodded, as if it was the truth.
But the key is that he is not short of money, if this thing is according to Belinda, it is definitely an Australian national treasure first-class baby!
Lao Tzu has no other hobbies. But he has a penchant for collecting other people's national treasures, so Jin Muchen doesn't plan to buy this box.
Even if Belinda told him that if this box is auctioned, it will at least start at tens of millions of dollars, and he is not interested, tens of millions of dollars?
Hmph, Lao Tzu is not interested, now there are hundreds of millions of dollars in Lao Tzu's space, that bit of money. Sprinkle the water!
"Okay, thank you for your help today. Miss Downing. By the way, how much you charge here, I will pay according to the standard. ”
Although Belinda was full of words and wanted to persuade Jin Muchen to hand over the box to them for auction, Jin Muchen was not very interested in this proposal.
But it can't be so single, although this Belinda is Jesse's friend, but Westerners are very clear about the difference between money and friendship.
Friends are friends, transactions are transactions, this time Belinda took the time to help herself identify, but there is no reason for people to do it in vain.
Jin Muchen was very refreshing and planned to give money, but Belinda's answer surprised him.
"Haha, forget it. You're Jesse's friend, that's my friend, and this time I'll help for free. ”
Well? It is rare for Westerners to be so open-minded about money, and Jin Muchen couldn't help but be stunned.
And seeing Jin Muchen's wide-eyed appearance, Belinda on the other side also sneered: "Why, didn't Jesse tell you that we were good sisters who lived in the same dormitory back then?" If you still need money, how can we still count our friendship back then? So, forget it this time! ”
Nani? Is it really so generous?
This Belinda is so generous, but it makes Jin Muchen feel very embarrassed, you know, this chick persuaded herself hard before, take out this box and those silver coins and put them up for auction, and her refusal was quite blunt.
Unexpectedly, now people are not only not angry, but they also do not charge their own appraisal fees, which is really not something that ordinary women can have.
"So be it! Miss Belinda, since you are not willing to charge the appraisal fee, I certainly cannot let you do it in vain. How about I treat you to a meal? ”
Jin Muchen scratched his head and tentatively extended an invitation to Belinda.
“OK! Well, I'm a little hungry right now, so let's go now! ”
Belinda snapped her fingers, this neat energy was not common in other women.
Jin Muchen likes to make friends with such people, and it just so happens that he also feels very hungry, and when he gets off the plane, it is already noon.
After they picked him up on the plane, they first went to the hotel to register, and then took him to the office for identification, which was back and forth for several hours, and now it was more than one o'clock in the afternoon.
Lunch time has already passed, Jin Muchen, who was originally a big stomach, if he hadn't been concerned about politeness before, I'm afraid he would have gotten up and gone out to eat a long time ago.
Belinda is the landlord here, and she is very familiar with the environment of Melbourne, so she drove Jin Muchen and quickly found a restaurant.
Although it was past lunch time, this restaurant was still open.
Belinda took Jin Muchen to find a table, sat down and then ordered a grilled salmon herself, while Jin Muchen asked for a piece of kangaroo meat.
After eating the legendary kangaroo meat in Sydney last time, he was very interested in this delicacy, if done well, this thing tastes really better than beef, and the nutritional value is also high, the most important thing is that this thing, it seems to be really replenishing......
Because there were not many people dining, the restaurant quickly served meals to the two.
The two also chatted while eating, with Jesse as a mutual friend, and on the other hand, they were both engaged in the antique industry, and they were both young people of similar age, so they soon became acquainted.
Through Belinda, Jin Muchen learned about the local antique market in Australia and the preferences of the collecting circle, and Belinda was also very interested in Jin Muchen's fortune experience.
"Wow! These experiences of yours, if adapted into a movie, are good enough for the TV series, although not Indiana. Jones is so thrilling, but your treasure hunt is no less than easy...... At least I haven't seen that young man have the luck of you......"
Belinda's eyes when she looked at Jin Muchen at this time were already a little different, although she was older than Jin Muchen, but women, they all like the strong, not to mention that this Jin Muchen is not bad, he is still such a capable person.
And looking at Belinda's eyes looking at herself, Jin Muchen's heart also jumped, Australia is really a good place, no wonder people say that this is the most open place in the world to what is it......
Coming to this place known as a high-yield area of beautiful women, of course, he doesn't mind tasting the characteristics of Australia's local 'red wine'.
In fact, it's very simple to bubble @ Niu in the West, you look good, you can dress up, the whole person looks simple and clean, you can tell jokes to please women, and if you have a little experience, you can brag, then when you bubble @ Niu, it can almost be said that you will be invincible, not to mention nine out of ten, but the success rate will be as high as 80%.
Now Jin Muchen is facing such a situation.
"Hehe, of course it's not luck, you know, I owe a lot of thanks to my grandfather, our family used to be in the antiques business, but when I was a kid, I didn't like my grandfather's business. But he forced me to learn these things, and at first I was cheating and tricking, and it wasn't until I ate my grandfather's whip that I began to memorize them by rote. But no one expected that it was these things that I didn't like at the beginning that made me where I am today. And as my grandfather said, the more you come into contact with antiques, the more you understand the charm of this thing. Now it seems that I really didn't let my grandfather worry about it back then. ”
Jin Muchen made an image of remembering his grandfather's past, in fact, this is also an excuse he has thought of a long time ago, you must know that his treasure hunting ability has always been a strange place in the eyes of many peers.
Everyone else has been playing antiques all their lives, and I haven't seen you have such a skill? But how long have you been in the industry, not only have you collected so many treasures, but you also have a big house and a luxury car, how did you get here?
Jin Muchen can't tell people, I came here by superability, right?
That's why I prepared this rhetoric, sometimes when I get together with my peers, it really works, at least he can make many people feel a lot more comfortable.
"Wow! I didn't expect you to have such an experience. But speaking of which, your grandfather and my grandfather were really similar back then, and I didn't like this business when I was a child, and my grandfather forced me to learn like this back then. It's just that now ......"
Jin Muchen's words seemed to arouse a trace of resonance from Belinda, she seemed to remember her grandfather's back then, her expression was a little gloomy, and when she said it now, she stopped even more, as if she remembered something unpleasant.
Jin Muchen couldn't figure out what was going on with her, so it was not easy to ask at this time.
"Don't talk about that, by the way, if you go to Sydney for a few days, do you only take such a box? Are there any other treasures that can open my eyes? ”
"Don't say it, I've really collected something."
"Oh? What is it? ”
When Belinda heard this, she was also interested.
"Hehe, it's a philatelic album with a few stamps in it, and I think it's good."
"Wow! Is it! Can you show me. ”
Belinda's tone was actually an octave higher, which startled Jin Muchen, he really didn't understand, why did this chick become so interested all of a sudden?
"I'm sorry, I was so excited, because I'm not only a coin collector, but also a philatelic enthusiast!" (To be continued......)
