Chapter 37: A New Boss Who Is Not Simple (Part II)
In the face of Li Zhigao's complaints, the ring did not give Li Zhigao any new benefits because of this, and there was not even a little text explanation. However, Li Zhigao was just scratching his hair, and he didn't care about it after he finished it, and began to play CS with the computer, and when he played for an hour and a half, and he was tired of playing, the three people in the lounge finally ended the appraisal work and walked out with a look of amazement.
First of all, gold and jade jewelry, for these things, the two employees of the South Star Company gave an estimate that most of the gold in that batch were old gold, of which there were 2,242 large yellow croaker gold bars weighing ten taels, and one or two small yellow croakers were the most, with 38,632 pieces, and the two added up to 61,052 taels, and the rest were broken gold nuggets, adding up to a total of 80,000 old taels.
In the old system of the Qing Dynasty, one tael was between 37.8 and 36 grams, but because the weight of this batch of goods was not very precise and there were some slight discrepancies, the actual total weight of this batch of gold was 3011.685 kilograms, which is more than three tons! So much gold, although it is only pure gold with a gold content of slightly less than 990, but not much else, just looking at the price of gold, it is worth at least more than 120 million US dollars!
As for the batch of jade jewelry, it is indeed mainly jadeite and mutton fat jade, there are also some agate jewelry and a small amount of sapphire jewelry, mostly necklaces, rings, pendants, Buddhist beads and other small objects.
The level of craftsmanship of this batch of jade is average, and it must not be comparable with modern times, but the quality is good, if it is not considered as an antique, purely in terms of material, the value of this batch of jade jewelry should be more than 50 million US dollars. It's just that this is a rough estimate, it is estimated according to the price of the material, and the production process is not calculated, after all, the material and the price of the finished jewelry cannot be compared, not to mention the value of antiques.
According to the jewelry appraiser surnamed Chen, if this batch of jewelry is determined by the market, even if it is not sold in the name of antiques, only the price of modern antique craft jewelry will increase by at least three percent, if it is sold according to antiques, the price will be at least doubled, and some fine products can be auctioned, then the price is really hard to say.
In short, whether it is gold or jewelry, it is very valuable, and there is no doubt that it is a huge amount of money that will make people crazy! That is, these people are all old and used to seeing wind and waves, so they are so calm.
In addition to these, the owner of the pharmacy surnamed Zeng also estimated the price of the precious medicinal materials brought by Li Zhigao. According to Boss Zeng, Li Zhigao's batch of medicinal materials is mainly wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, of which seventy percent are more than 50 years old, one percent is more than 80 years old, and 20 percent are less than 50 years old, but also more than 30 years old. In addition to wild ginseng, there are also some natural musks, as well as some high-quality deer antler velvet and bird's nest, all of which are very precious materials, all of which add up to his estimate of 20 million rand, or about 1.86 million US dollars.
In short, listen to what they mean, if this batch of goods is ready, it will not be a problem to exchange it for 300 million US dollars.
Because Zeng Weihua was an outsider, Li Zhigao first negotiated business with him, and then sold the batch of medicinal materials at a price of $1.86 million according to the price he offered, without counteroffering.
After the transaction with Zeng Weihua was completed and the people left, Li Zhigao discussed with Master Chen and Master Zhou how to deal with this batch of things and obtain the maximum profit in the shortest possible time.
If you don't say that it is good to buy a jewelry company, at least you can deal with this batch of gold jewelry from unknown sources, not only will there be no pressure, but you can also maximize the benefits.
First of all, gold, according to Master Zhou, who was a precious metal analyst, this batch of gold is in good condition, such as those large gold bars of ten taels, because the market inventory is small, and it can be auctioned according to antique gold bars; As for the small yellow croaker gold bars in one or two, there is a lot of stock in the market, and they can be sold directly in the market as old gold bars, and only one Hong Kong can be completely digested. As for the other broken gold nuggets, it is better to repurify them into a thousand pure gold and then process them into jewelry, so that the price is much more valuable than simply selling gold.
However, these methods are a bit slow to make money, if you want to change money quickly, then directly purify into thousands of pure gold, make thousands of pure gold bars, because the international gold price is calculated according to the price of thousands of pure gold, so it is best to get rid of it, in South Africa, thousands of pure gold can also be directly used as currency.
As for jewelry and jade, Master Chen's statement is the same as the practice of Jinsheng Pawnshop, that is, to pick out high-end boutiques to go to the auction house, mid-range and low-end directly to the market, in the name of Nanxing Company, you can easily export this batch of goods to Hong Kong, Macau or the mainland, with the scale of that market, eating this batch of goods can not even make a small splash. If you are in a hurry to ask for money, as long as you lower the price, you will be able to sell it soon.
Li Zhigao thought about these proposals, jade jewelry or something, you can take your time according to Master Chen's words, as for gold, he thinks it's safer, don't play any antique auctions, all purified into thousands of pure gold, and sell directly as gold bars!
Although in this way, the value of that batch of gold may not be sold according to the price of antiques, but antiques, if they are less antiques, if he ships in large quantities, there will definitely be problems, it is better to directly exchange them for thousands of pure gold that can be traded in the market, and directly use them as hard currency.
Turn the gold into a thousand pure gold, leave part of it to be made into jewelry and sell it, God doesn't know it, you can't find his problem at all, and the other part is directly used to buy arms and other sensitive equipment in South Africa, and the gold is paid in one hand and delivered in the other, the same is unaware, what a good thing!
Li Zhigao is the boss and the owner of this batch of goods, so since he has made a decision, although the two masters feel that it is a pity to finance these antiques, they still do it.
Since Nanxing Jewelry is a jewelry company, it naturally has relevant equipment, and the equipment for smelting and purifying gold is ready-made, and it is also the kind with a high degree of automation.
However, gold to be completely smelted and purified is not simple, a series of equipment and reactions are required, at present, a large number of gold purification gold, generally with a certain proportion of gold and silver together melted into liquid, plus a certain proportion of aqua regia, after catalytic decomposition and other processes, and then add sodium sulfite and other chemical raw materials to reduce, and finally obtain purer quality pure gold and silver, the whole process is very cumbersome, even if there is automation equipment, it is not an easy matter.
Therefore, no matter how anxious Li Zhigao was, no matter how advanced the equipment was, it took him an afternoon until the evening, and only 500 kilograms of gold were purified.
And just when Li Zhigao happily stroked those finished thousand-foot gold bars, Bai Jingshan suddenly came back, and he brought a piece of news, that is, he had found an arms dealer who could meet Li Zhigao's needs!
