Chapter 305: Raising a child is a job that costs money
"I don't know how much Mr. Qin knows about meteorites." Du Chengxiang asked with a smile.
Qin Guan shook his head and said, "I don't understand very well, I just heard from a friend about meteorite investment, so come and see, if it is suitable for collection, I will also buy one or two." ”
Du Chengxiang smiled, most of the meteorite collectors in China are investments, and they are also the kind of betting investments, and very few people really understand meteorites.
Walking into the collection room with Qin Guan, rows of meteorites are displayed in the middle, with different sizes and shapes, which can give Qin Guan a unified feeling, these meteorites are really ugly.
Some are like stones, some are covered with rust, some are black and dirty, and some are like a pile of iron slag, messy and I don't know what to say, this is Qin Guan's impression of meteorites.
Du Chengxiang was very patient, gave Qin Guan popular science meteorite knowledge, on-site teaching,
According to the structure, structure, and silicate content, the varieties of meteorites can be divided into: stony meteorites, iron meteorites, and stony-iron meteorites.
"To be honest, there are no more than 10,000 people in the world who really participate in the collection and trading of meteorites, and in China, the number is only about 100, and it is much hotter abroad than at home."
"Many auction houses now have meteorite auctions, such as in 2008, Christie's Paris auctioned a 45-kilogram Namibian meteorite in Africa for 78,250 euros. In 2010, a meteorite was auctioned at Sotheby's in Paris and sold for 320,000 euros. ”
"Now the price of meteorites is rising year after year, and there are more and more people who love meteorite collections, and some prices exceed 10 million US dollars."
"Now this piece in the country, is still in the embryonic stage, if you like this industry, my brother advises you to enter the industry in advance, it is definitely a good choice for investment, you know, the most profitable people in all industries are always the first to enter the industry."
"We are trailblazers and can even be domestic rule-makers."
Qin Guan found that this guy was very good at fooling people, no wonder he was named the president, hearing him say this, he knew that this group of people in China wanted to heat up the domestic meteorite market.
Stopped in front of a meteorite, which was about the size of a basketball, with a blue-gray body and uneven yellow rust spots on it, if ordinary people saw this black and dirty guy, they would definitely think that he was a stone.
Qin Guan patted the stone, and Qin Guan found that the sword pill in his body trembled even more, yes, it was it.
Qin Guan said in an indifferent tone: "Like this meteorite, what is the approximate price." ”
Du Chengxiang looked at the stone and said: "This is a stone iron meteorite, the content of silicate and nickel-iron alloy in this kind of meteorite accounts for about 50% each, this piece weighs more than 40 kilograms, and the price is 6.2 million, if the brother wants it, 6 million will be taken." ”
Qin Guan was speechless, this thing is really not cheap.
Just such a thing, Qin Guan really didn't know where he was worth.
"5 million, I should test the water and collect one to play."
"Brother, the price I want is not high, but the first time I do business, I will give you a cheaper, 5.8 million, 5858 means good."
"Don't ink, I'll take 5.2 million, if it doesn't work, I'll retreat, anyway, I'm just playing, if it doesn't work, forget it." Qin Guan Dao.
"OK, it's done."
The two clapped their palms together and shook hands.
Qin Guan transferred 5.2 million, and this meteorite is his.
Bidding farewell to Du Chengxiang, Qin Guan found a hotel to stay in, and took the meteorite out, Qin Guan stroked his hand on the meteorite, and the sword pill passed through Qin Guan's palm, and swooped into the inside of the meteorite, Qin Guan found that the meteorite was slowly melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a few minutes later, a basketball-sized meteorite became a pair of debris.
And the sword pill returned to Qin Guan's body at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
"You can really eat, more than five million will be gone all at once, see if you can hatch." Qin Guan began to communicate with the system Moonlight: "Moonlight, is this okay?"
"Host, the sword pill has absorbed 1.08% of the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron Crystal, please keep up the good work."
Qin Guan's eyes widened.
"What, such a large piece of meteorite, only to absorb 1.08%?!"
"The sword pill only absorbs the essence of it, which is the Outer Meteorite Iron Crystal." The system replied.
Qin Guan is a mental calculation, good guy, at this price, if you want to hatch a sword pill, you need at least 500 or 600 million funds, and it is really not easy to feed it.
What's more, with so many extraterrestrial meteorite iron crystals, Qin Guan didn't know if he could find them.
Well, who says that they want the best fairy sword, work hard.
Qin Guan took out the phone to contact Du Chengxiang, and when the phone was connected, Qin Guan said, "Boss Du, can you do me a favor." ”
For Qin Guan, a big customer, Du Chengxiang is very enthusiastic, "Mr. Qin, you said. ”
"I want to buy more meteorites, and I don't know what channel to go through." Qin Guan asked.
Du Chengxiang smiled and said: "If you are in China, I can help you contact those collectors, we do not have a mature market in China, good meteorites are generally in the hands of individual collectors, or you can go abroad to see, the United States or Europe, there are more people playing this, and there is also a certain scale of the market." ”
"Can you help me with an introduction?"
"No problem at all."
Robert Haig, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, on the other hand, is the world's most authoritative meteorite collector, who has been collecting meteorites since he was 23 years old and is now the world's largest collector of meteorites.
At this time, Qin Guan had already boarded a plane to the United States.
I have to say that Du Chengxiang still has a certain amount of energy, and the one who introduced him was Professor Robert Haig.
Another important point of Qin Guan's visit to the United States is that the United States is also a country with frequent meteorite trading, with the largest number of meteorite collectors and a relatively professional trading market, so Qin Guan must not miss it.
At the University of California, Los Angeles, Qin Guan met Professor Haig, "Professor Haig, I'm really disturbed. ”
"Hello, Mr. Qin, Du has already said your intention, welcome to join the ranks of meteorite collection, I believe that this industry has a very bright future, come and see my collection." Robert Haig is still very welcoming.
Robert Haig's collection is much richer than Du Chengxiang's, with a large collection room of three or four hundred square meters, which is very luxuriously decorated and tightly guarded, just like a jewelry storage room.
Robert Haig introduced Qin Guan in the same way, and kept telling his experience of collecting these meteorites.
Haig describes the experience of collecting meteorites as thrilling, exciting, and legendary as the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
"In search of riches from the sky, I have traveled to all continents on earth except Antarctica. In Chile, Namibia, Australia, Mexico and Egypt, in the wilderness, I have experienced several deaths. ”
"As long as NASA predicts where and when there will be a meteor shower, I will be there at the right time. No matter where you are, no matter what means of transportation. In addition to looking for meteorites myself, I also bought them from the locals. ”
"Let me tell you a little bit about my experience, in 1992, I bought a 31-ton meteorite in Argentina, which was the largest meteorite I ever bought in my life. But while the meteorite was being transported out of customs, the Argentine government arrested me on smuggling charges, and the government believed that this rare meteorite should belong to the Argentine state. Although I was later released, sadly, the meteorite was left in Argentina forever. ”
