Chapter 059: Pearl Ten Hu
"Smack."
The wooden hammer fell, and the auctioneer said excitedly: "This piece of Tianhuangshi was auctioned by the No. 72 buyer, and the transaction price was 29.8 million, congratulations to the No. 72 buyer." ”
"Below, the auction is still a piece of Tianhuang stone, the weight of this Tianhuang stone has reached 1058 grams, it is also the best 'silver wrapped in gold' in Tianhuang, we can see on the big screen that this is the best Tianhuang material for making ornaments, there is a lot of room for appreciation, you deserve it, start shooting now, the starting price is 35 million."
Another round of fierce bidding, in the end, this piece of Tianhuangshi was sold for more than the estimated 42 million.
Qin Guan was excited.
He calculated in his heart that the total price of his four things reached 118.8 million, which was converted into RMB, exactly 100 million, and he could be regarded as completing that small goal.
At the end of the auction, Qin Guan waited in Hong Kong for a day before handing over Christie's the next day.
This time it was Qin Guan who was in charge of reception, Qin Guan's four lots, with a total price of 118.8 million Hong Kong dollars, but this money, you need to pay 6% of the auction fee, and you also need to pay 3% tax, which is directly withheld by the auction house, and you can't run if you want to.
Qin Guan needs to take out more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
As for the rest of the money, Qin Guan chose to deposit it in an overseas bank, and he still has more than 10 million yuan in the card he is now in China, which is enough to spend, and there is no need to take it back to China, so Qin Guan opened a new account in Citibank, and it will be much more convenient to use the money outside in the future.
100 million Hong Kong dollars into the account, Qin Guanna is also a rich man.
Converted to US dollars, there is $15 million.
Ordinary people may not be able to make so much money in their lifetime, but Qin Guan thought about it calmly and felt that it was actually nothing.
There are so many rich people in the world, and everyone is worth billions or tens of billions of dollars. What is enough for his 15 million, it may not be worth a luxury car or a yacht.
After processing the auction matter, it was already three days later, and he did not stop in Hong Kong, Qin Guan returned to Hangzhou, because he received a call from Inspur Technology, and the data collection was almost done.
Seeing Lin Tiesheng in the wave, Lin Tiesheng took out a new information package and showed it to Qin Guan, "Mr. Qin, according to your requirements, we have collected more than 30,000 copies of the Song Dynasty's imperial examination scriptures and policies, which is all we can collect, do you think it's okay." ”
More than two months have passed, and Inspur Technology has sent people to dig out these rare things in the libraries of many universities across the country, and they can find more than 30,000 copies, and they have indeed worked hard.
If Qin Guan's money hadn't been put in place, who would have done such a meaningless thing.
Qin Guan paid the final payment, and this time he spent nearly 500,000 yuan to collect information, and when he got the information package, Qin Guan will only install it in his mobile phone.
There is still half a month before the next crossing, Qin Guan began to prepare for the crossing, for the sake of insurance, Qin Guan bought two more mobile phones of the same model, and installed all the imperial examination APP, for fear that there would be any accidents at that time.
Now he has four mobile phones in his hands.
Then he bought a more advanced and durable solar charger.
As for what he needed to carry this time, Qin Guan already had a plan. Qin Guan drove to Zhuji City, and he was going to buy pearls.
In modern times, due to artificial cultivation, pearls have been reduced to the status of ordinary handicrafts, but in ancient times, pearls were indeed absolute treasures and high value.
And pearls in ancient times, they could even be used directly as currency.
Qin Guan brought a lot of glass products, but he didn't dare to sell them wantonly, for fear that it would cause some unnecessary trouble, so he only dared to let Zhou Taixiang put them out one by one.
This time he didn't plan to bring glassware, so he took a fancy to pearls.
In ancient times, pearls were more direct, and they could even be used directly, and even if they were exchanged, they would not be as eye-catching as glass.
Zhuji is the largest pearl production, processing and sales market in China, with an annual output of 75% of the world's total freshwater pearls and 80% of the country's total output. East China International Jewelry City is located here.
Hangzhou is only an hour's drive from Zhuji, which is very convenient, and Qin Guan is ready to come over to purchase a batch in person.
Qin Guan came with Zhang Wenbin, Qin Guan and Zhang Wenbin are iron buddies, and the reason for bringing Zhang Wenbin is because Zhang Wenbin's brother-in-law is the manager of East China International Jewelry City, and he is the kind of insider who has shares in the International Jewelry City.
The pearl market is also very deep, and if you don't have an acquaintance with you, you may be pitted.
"Second brother, what are you doing when you buy pearls, giving gifts, isn't it better to buy them in a jewelry building in Hangzhou, it is necessary to go to Zhuji." Zhang Wenbin said as he leaned back on his seat with sunglasses.
"I bought a lot this time." Qin Guan Dao.
"Why do you use it, you don't want to do a pearl business, it's not easy to do a pearl business now." Zhang Wenbin was surprised.
"You don't care about this, when the time comes, you can talk to your brother-in-law, don't be cheated and buy fakes, and then give a suitable price." Qin Guan Dao.
"No problem, in fact, my brother-in-law has a stall at his own house, if you have a fancy one, I will ask him to give you a wholesale price. If I like someone else, I ask my brother-in-law to talk about it, it will definitely not be expensive. Zhang Wenbin said in a big way.
Zhuji soon arrived.
In the jewelry city, I met Zhang Wenbin's brother-in-law Zhang Yaxiang, who is not tall and very enthusiastic.
After listening to Qin Guan's request, he took Qin Guan's family around, as for the price, Zhang Yaxiang said, just listen to it, and finally I am quoting you the price, the absolute lowest price in the market.
There are also many fine products of cultured pearls, and some sellers also offer hundreds of thousands of dollars for a string of necklaces, but there are more ordinary pearls, and the pearls the size of soybeans are only a few dozen yuan per string.
What are the types of South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls, Japanese pearls, domestic freshwater pearls and so on.
After turning around, I found that it was actually much the same, the goods of each family were not much different, and there were also some in Zhang Yaxiang's shop, so let's buy it here.
Ordinary necklaces, come 200 pieces. High-end points, also come 200, anyway, it's not expensive, loose pearls, come a few bags, yes, just a few bags, a bag of thousands of big bags, anyway, it's not expensive.
The pearls of the ancients were all about Hu.
Qin watched the book and once read a story of "Ten Pearls", which told the story of Lu Zhu and Shi Chong. There is a woman named Luzhu, beautiful and unparalleled, smart and clever, beautiful and dignified, can sing and dance poetry, Shi Chong hired him as a concubine with pearl ten hundreds, how many are ten, one hundred and ten buckets, if the weight is calculated, it is estimated that one pearl is 4 catties, and ten is 40 catties.
I have to sigh, that bastard is really rich, no wonder he was beheaded in the end.
Continue to purchase, buy ordinary, boutique nature also have, 1.5 cm white pearls, 100, 100 color beads, 100 Nanyang gold beads.
Qin Guan didn't really buy much, mainly because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it, after all, there were only a few things he could take.
Of course, there are also top-notch products here, and Qin Guan also selected a few, and the price of these few items is enough to buy the price of the pile just now.
Zhang Yaxiang assured that these pearls were all natural cultured pearls, not synthetic, and he also gave Qin Guan an unprofitable price for more than 200,000 yuan.
This amount of money is nothing to Qin Guan.
