In the evening, as soon as Yun Yi and Chen Ming arrived home, Yun Yi's phone rang, and he took out the phone to see that it was Li Mu calling, and Yun Yi quickly picked it up.

"Is there something wrong? Wood. Yunyi asked.

"It's such a taro, the money is a little insufficient, what should I do?" Li Mu on the other end of the phone asked a little anxiously.

Listening to Li Mu's words, Yunyi also began to be anxious, the previous 2oo came to 10,000 yuan, and now Yunyi has 50,000 yuan left in his hand for emergency, and there is also wine-making equipment in the back, at least 4oo to 10,000.

"What to do? Where is the money? "Yunyi didn't expect the funding gap to be so big.

Yun Yi walked over in the yard, with a helpless face, and suddenly Yun Yi thought that in the auxiliary, the program control system seemed to mention that there were diamonds, thinking of this, Yun Yi quickly returned to the house, connected the agricultural and animal husbandry auxiliary and entered it, in a material warehouse, Yun Yi found an alloy box full of diamonds.

Opening the box, Yun Yi saw diamonds the size of a baby's fist, Yun Yi was stunned, this is money! There was a lot of money, and Yun Yi felt that his eyes were full of banknotes flying around.

Yunyi quickly connected to the Internet and found several international auction houses on the Internet, among which the more famous ones are Southby and Christie's.

Sotheby is the world's largest and oldest auction house, and Sotheby's history dates back more than 2oo years. On March 11, 1744, Samuel Baker, a great British bookseller, sold a collection of books from a certain knight at a hotel in Covent Garden, London.

This store is considered to be the first auction in its modern form. After Baker's death, his nephew John Sotheby was appointed heir to the estate, and John named the auction house left by his uncle after his surname, and "Sotheby" was born.

At that time, most of the good paintings and precious items were mainly traded privately by merchants, and the auction method was not favorable. This situation continued almost into the 50s of the 20th century, when a man named Peter Cecil Wilson took the helm of Sotheby after World War II, determined to challenge the monopoly of dealers on famous paintings. Wilson introduced the "Seller's Minimum Deposit" system, which provides a deposit to the auction consignor before the auction to dispel the owner's concerns about the price.

Since then, Sotheby has gained respect in the art market until the wind and rain. In 1983, Sosby was bought by the American real estate developer Taubman due to poor management. After becoming an American-owned company, the auction house split into two headquarters, one in London and the other in New York. Currently, they hold more than 5oo auctions per year in 17 countries around the world.

Another British auction house, Christie (also known as "Christie's"), is Southby's biggest rival. Christie was founded in 1766, 22 years after Soth, but its founder, James Christie, quickly earned it a reputation.

Around 1785, Christie made a name for himself with a series of sensational auctions, first for a large collection of precious paintings from the collection of an ace spy under King Louis XV of France, and then for the auction of the jewels of a French aristocratic lady who was guillotined.

The entire 2o century is the history of these two auction houses. Southby has a slight advantage in the number of world records auctioned. Between 1994 and 1997, the new owners of two auction houses were subject to an antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for an illegal conspiracy to increase auction commissions in order to monopolize the market. The scandal in 2ooo was exposed, and the trial in 2oo1 caused a sensation around the world.

After repeated comparisons, Yunyi felt that it was more reassuring to hand over the diamond to Sosby.

Three days later, Yunyi came to SH City, which is the financial center of China, and also a metropolis that connects to the world, known as the magic capital, where the world's goods are gathered, and there are many internationally renowned large companies and enterprises stationed in the city, which is the most cutting-edge city in China, there are several internationally famous auction house branches, and the destination of Yunyi's trip is the Sotheby Auction House Magic Capital Branch.

When he came to the magic capital, Yun Yi came directly to the office where the Sosby Office was located, and when he entered the door, Yun Yi asked the front desk to inform Ma Kai, the general manager of the Sosby Office, that Yun Yi had sent the photos of the diamond to Ma Kai before, and also contacted Ma Kai Today, Yun Yi came over to do the appraisal and auction commission.

Coming to the reception room, Yunyi handed over the two diamonds in the small alloy box to Ma Kai, the general manager of Sotheby's Modu branch, and at the scene, under the appraisal of several Sotheby's professional jewelry appraisers, the two diamonds brought by Yunyi can be said to be the largest natural diamonds in the world so far.

When Ma Kai got the appraisal report of the appraiser, the whole person was stunned, he was still working on the matter of transferring to the headquarters, but he didn't expect that there would be such a bonus performance now.

After reading the appraisal, Ma Kai said to Yunyi excitedly; "Mr. Yun, your diamond has been identified, it is the largest natural diamond at present, and our company has never auctioned such a large diamond, so I don't know how much margin to give you now, but I can provide you with the transaction price of the largest diamond we auctioned in the United States last year for your reference, what do you think?" After finishing speaking, Ma Kai looked at Yunyi expectantly.

Yun Yi was silent for a while, and no other expression appeared on his face, this is the ability that Yun Yi has cultivated in S City for three years. In fact, now Yunyi's heart was shocked, and he was extremely shocked, and it took a while to quietly recover.

After listening to Ma Kai's words, Yun Yi opened his mouth and said: "You can take a look at the reference given by your company before you can talk about it" Yun Yi's tone was a little flat, making Ma Kai unable to figure out the details of Yun Yi for a while.

Ma Kai hurriedly said: "That's Mr. Yun, the largest diamond transaction price we auctioned last year was 4ooo US dollars, your two, we will temporarily give you 100 million US dollars as a deposit, if the auction transaction price is less than 100 million US dollars, we will pay you 100 million US dollars and do not charge you any handling fees, if it is higher than 100 million US dollars auction transaction price, we will charge 1% of the handling fee, do you think it is okay?" Ma Kai said as he observed Yun Yi's expression.

After listening to Ma Kai's explanation, Yun Yi generally knew the value of these two diamonds, and deliberately hesitated for a while before saying: "Manager Ma, just do as you say, I'm very busy, I don't have too much time to spend here, the diamonds will be kept by your company, and then contact me when the auction is going to be auctioned."

After receiving Yunyi's promise to entrust the diamond to Sosby, Ma Kai was speechless with joy. Then went through the entrustment process, and Yunyi handled a Swiss bank account and an ICBC account with Huaxia. After signing a confidentiality agreement and a consignment auction agreement, Yunyi played in the magic capital; Yunyi has always wanted to come to the magic capital to have a look, but he has never had the opportunity, this time Yunyi wants to take a good walk and feel the magic of the magic capital.

Three days later, Yunyi received a call from Ma Kai saying that an auction was held in the magic capital and invited Yunyi to participate. ”

The auction of the two diamonds was placed at the end of the auction, which was also the strategy of the auction house, and in the end, Yunyi's two diamonds were auctioned for a total of 130 million US dollars, and Yunyi received more than 100 million US dollars after deducting the handling fee.

Subsequently, Yunyi's Swiss bank account added more than 100 million US dollars, and 5ooo million RmB was deposited in the domestic ICBC card. After having money, after allocating 5oo yuan to Li Mu, Yunyi no longer worries about the follow-up construction of the winery.
