If it weren't for the last resort, he wouldn't call his boss directly, in case he offended the other party, wouldn't his future bonuses be in vain, and then the other party would put on his own shoes, grandma's, and his skin would be stripped off.

He doesn't have the courage of Wang Yangming, he dares to call Director Hu an old fox, grandma, he was stunned by the other party's brainless behavior, could it be that Wang Yangming is the illegitimate son of Director Hu, this is not the first time he has such a marginal idea.

In his fantasy, the mobile phone was quickly connected, and Director Hu's deep and majestic voice came from the mobile phone: "Comrade Xiaobai, why do you have time to call me?" ”

"Director, I'm sorry to disturb you." Poplar hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, just say something, I'll have a meeting in five minutes." Director Hu said.

"Oh, Director, I want to ask about bank cards." Poplar said.

"Well, what's wrong with the bank card?" Director Hu asked with a smile.

"The bank card is gone, I just want to ask, can my own bank card still be used in the future?" Poplar asked humbly.

Director Hu was silent for a moment and said: "If it's not a regular income, it's best not to use a bank card opened in your own name, of course, if it's your legitimate income, it's naturally no problem." ”

"Oh, that, that." Poplar didn't know how to ask for a while.

"Don't spit out, just say it if you have something to say, you're still afraid that I will eat you!" Director Hu laughed and said.

Bai Yang smiled awkwardly, and then he stubbornly asked, "If I auction off the family heirloom, is this income considered a legitimate income?" ”

Director Hu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at the picture of Poplar's heart in the mobile phone screen with a smile, and said, "Do you call it a treasure?" Of course, if there is a treasure auctioned, it will naturally be considered a legitimate income, but I can warn you, you are not allowed to commit crimes in the country, you must know that you are now a state official, and breaking the law will be punished severely. ”

"Well, if you don't commit a crime in the country, will you be fine?" Bai Yang couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked happily.

Director Hu almost couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "You kid, I haven't said anything like that, if you commit a crime abroad and are caught, our country will naturally find a way to extradite you back, but whether you can come back at that time is still two different things, you can do it yourself." ”

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

After hanging up Director Hu's phone, he stood at the top of the stairs and pondered for a moment, and then made a decision in his heart.

Starlight Jewelry Auction House is located in the West Lake Cultural Square, from the outside, there are only three stores, but after entering, you will find that there is a different cave.

The interior decoration is very luxurious, the chandelier in the living room is a crystal chandelier similar to Schroe, and the floor is smooth and flat, pale yellow marble floor.

Seeing Baiyang walking towards the door, the greeters on both sides hurriedly bowed politely and guided him to the front desk.

There is more than one employee at the front desk, there are three of them, two women and one man.

One of them, a man and a woman, was receiving two customers, and another female employee saw Bai Yang coming, and quickly stood up and asked, "This gentleman, do you need help with something?" ”

"Oh, my surname is Bai, and I always have an appointment with your Yao." Poplar hurriedly said with a smile.

Of course, there are very few people who wear suits and leather shoes to go out on hot days, but almost all of them wear neat and atmospheric shirts, and they rarely walk into such a noble place like Poplar wearing a white stall with short sleeves.

However, the quality of the staff here is high, and they do not look at people with colored glasses.

After hearing Bai Yang's answer, the female employee hurriedly smiled and nodded, "Hello Mr. Bai, our Mr. Yao has already explained that if you come over, let us take you directly to his office, please Mr. Bai come with me." ”

The female employee took the poplar directly to the third floor by elevator and stopped in front of a door that said "General Manager".

The female employee knocked three times softly and rhythmically, and heard someone inside shouting, "Please come in." ”

Later, after the female employee opened the door, she motioned for Poplar to enter.

After Bai Yang entered, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties with gold-rimmed glasses, shiny hair, and a big back haircut.

Seeing him come in, the middle-aged man was stunned, immediately stood up from his position, a smile appeared on his face, and walked out quickly from behind the desk.

"Fortunately, you should be Mr. Bai, right?" The middle-aged man asked politely.

"Hello Mr. Yao, I'm Poplar." Poplar nodded in acknowledgement.

"Please sit down, Xiao He please help pour a cup of tea, thank you!" Mr. Yao stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa next to him, and then turned his head to the female front desk outside the door and said.

"Okay, Mr. Yao!" The female front desk gently closed the door and left.

It didn't take long for the other party to brew a cup of green tea and bring it to Poplar.

"Thank you." Poplar took the tea and put it on the coffee table and thanked him.

After the female front desk left, Mr. Yao apologized embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”

Bai Yang shook his head and said that he did not recommend it, to be honest, this kind of hospitality has already allowed him to enjoy VIP treatment, if he had not been entertained by Director Hu in S.H.I.E.L.D., I am afraid he would have been flattered by this.

"Mr. Bai, I don't know if the gem was brought?" Mr. Yao sat on the sofa next to Bai Yang, poked his head over and asked kindly.

"Brought." Poplar smiled, then reached into his trouser pocket and pulled the pre-prepared sapphire directly from the storage space.

Seeing Poplar take out a quail egg-sized sapphire directly from his trouser pocket, Mr. Yao couldn't help but be stunned, not shocked by the size of the sapphire, but surprised by the way Poplar carried such a precious sapphire.

He rarely saw such a valuable item stuffed directly in his trouser pocket, in a handbag or a small lockbox.

But he soon came to his senses, then smiled, and took the sapphire from Poplar's hand.

He took the sapphire in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then nodded and said: "Whether it is the uniformity of color and light transmittance, it is top-notch, and the water head is also very sufficient, according to the size of this sapphire, it should be more than one hundred carats, Mr. Bai, wait a moment, I will let our experts here estimate the price of this sapphire, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”

Bai Yang was not afraid of the other party's deception, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I have time." ”

Then Mr. Yao called the gem appraiser of their auction company, and Bai Yang thought that the gem appraiser was an old man with gray hair, but not long after, a short-haired beauty who looked quite refined walked in, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mr. Bai, let me introduce to you, this is Miss Mario, the chief appraiser of our auction house, by the way, Mario, this is Mr. Bai, he plans to ask you to help him estimate the value of this sapphire, sorry for you." Mr. Yao introduced Poplar to the name of Miss Mario.

"Hello, Mr. Bai." Miss Mario stretched out her jade hand and greeted Poplar with a smile.

"Hello, hello, Miss Mario." Bai Yang hurriedly stood up and shook hands with the other party, the jade hand was soft and boneless in the palm of his hand, so he was really reluctant to let go.

Obviously a Chinese, but he took a foreigner's name, which made Bai Yang very incomprehensible, but this is someone else's business, and he naturally has no right to ask.

"Mr. Yao, I'm going to take this beautiful sapphire to the laboratory for a while, I don't know if this gentleman minds? Of course, if Mr. Wakabai is not at ease, he can go to the laboratory with me. Miss Mario asked after taking the sapphire from Mr. Yao's hand.

Poplar doesn't care if the other party will ignore the sapphire in his hand, if the other party is really such a person, he naturally has a way to make them regret it, if he finds out that the sapphire is fake, he doesn't care, it's a big deal, anyway, the police don't dare to arrest him, and it won't be much of a loss to him.

"I believe in you, so, I don't mind, and I ask Miss Mario to be kind to my sapphire, thank you." Poplar shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression.

"Please rest assured Mr. Bai that the credibility of our Starlight Jewelry Auction House is also well-known in the country." Mr. Yao smiled and promised.

Then Miss Mario took the sapphire to the laboratory, and Poplar sat in Mr. Yao's office for more than half an hour, and the two chatted while drinking tea, but no one came to disturb them.

Half an hour later, Miss Mario returned to Mr. Yao's office with a sapphire and an appraisal report in her hand.

Of course, this assessment report was not handed to Baiyang, but to the general manager Yao.

"Mr. Yao, there is still something going on in the laboratory, so I'll go back first." Miss Mario said with a chuckle.

"Well, Mario, go back first, thank you very much this time." Mr. Yao said politely.

After Miss Mario left, Mr. Yao directly handed the appraisal report in his hand to Bai Yang and said, "This is the valuation given by our auction house, Mr. Bai can take a look at it first." ”

After taking it, Poplar looked at it in detail and found that there were various parameter values on it, such as weight, volume, density, hardness, transmittance, oiliness value, etc., and a comment was written at the bottom: This sapphire can be evaluated as a crown sapphire, with an estimated value of more than 16 million.

Seeing the estimate of 16 million, Bai Yang's mood is not to mention how excited, and according to what Mr. Yao said before, if he chooses to sell directly, he can increase 10% on the basis of this estimate, that is, if he sells directly to the auction house, he can get more than 17 million tensions, which is much more cost-effective than selling gold.

After Bai Yang put down the appraisal report, Mr. Yao asked with a direct smile: "Mr. Bai, how is it, how do you plan to sell this sapphire, do you plan to sell it directly to our auction house or only send it to our auction house?" ”

To be honest, Poplar is in a very tangled mood at the moment, if he sells the gem directly to the auction house, he will obviously be able to immediately make nearly 17 million dollars, but he knows that if he chooses the auction, he is likely to be able to sell it at a higher price, of course, there may be a situation of unsuccessful auction, so there is a certain risk.

He thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Yao, if I choose to send the auction, how much is the commission, and how long does it take to send the auction?" ”

"If Mr. Bai chooses to consign, according to the general regulations of our auction house, we need to charge a commission of one to two percent, of course, considering that Mr. Bai's sapphire can enhance the popularity of the auction house, so our auction house can be charged according to the minimum commission, if Mr. Bai is in a hurry, our bank can arrange an auction at the end of this week, but because there is no publicity, the auction effect may be unsatisfactory, the risk is relatively large, if Mr. Bai is not in a hurry, It is recommended that it be auctioned on a big day such as the 11th National Day, and if Mr. Bai is willing to pay a certain amount of publicity fees, it is very possible that he will be able to auction twice or three times the price at that time. Mr. Yao patiently explained.
