Chapter Fifty-Eight: Black Gems Worth Ten Billion! (Ask for a book list!) )
Hung up the newsletter.
Li Shiying sat in the office and thought for a while.
I picked up my phone and looked for it.
Hesitate......
I dialed it out and took a deep breath.
“Hello, who?”
“Susie, it's me, poetry!”
Li Shiying smiled when she heard this voice.
"Shiying? Why do you have time to call me, I think you're going to the moon to play! Susie on the other side of the phone smiled and teased Li Shiying.
"Susie, your mouth is still so funny!"
"Haha, that's me! How? Have time to call me? ”
Susie was also wondering that the call from Huaxia was actually from Li Shiying.
"I am now working in a company in Huaxia, and now I have a good thing to find you!"
"A good thing? Shiying, pull it down! Will you have good things to take care of me? ”
Susie didn't believe Li Shiying's words at all.
"Didn't you inherit your grandfather's stake in Sotheby's? You're one of Sotheby's shareholders, right? ”
Li Shiying directly stated her purpose.
"What? Do you have anything to auction? ”
"Hmmm! I'll send the video over now, and you can see the mailbox for yourself! With that, Li Shiying opened the video and sent it out.
Susie, who was far away in the British Peninsula, hesitated, "Okay, then I'll see what surprise you have in store for me, right?" ”
It looks like about two minutes.
"Oh my God! Shiying, where did you get it, this is simply a treasure of God! ”
Obviously, Susie has received an email from Li Shiying.
Susie is also looking at Li Shiying is her friend, take a look.
But when I saw the things in the video, I was instantly stunned.
It took a long time to turn around.
"How? I heard that this year's Sotheby's annual auction was held in Xiangdao, right? Can you plug it in? ”
When Li Shiying said this, Susie was silent for a long time.
"So be it! I'll talk to the other directors about the personal principles that I hope to make, but the situation of the annual auction, as you know, has been advertised for more than three months, and suddenly a ...... has been added."
"Susie, Christie's and Baolong, etc., but there are also annual auctions, if it weren't for last year, Christie's auctioned the 12 zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace, my boss would be willing to give Christie's, not Sotheby's!"
"I know, you wait for my call, if the director doesn't agree, I will spend money to buy it, this is a treasure, I can't find a second one!" Susie said firmly.
Just hang up the phone.
Li Shiying smiled and shook her head.
The next day, in a five-star hotel on the coast of Xiangdao.
Li Shiying just got out of the car.
A blonde woman with the same hair as Li Shiying greeted her.
In a dress, it's like a princess who came out of a fairy tale!
"Shiying, long time no see!"
Speak, open your hands!
Li Shiying smiled and hugged him, "Susie, you are getting more and more beautiful, now there is at least one group of people chasing you, right?" ”
"Shiying, you don't have to go there, come, I've already booked a banquet, we haven't seen each other for three years!"
On Susie's side, there were three more people.
Two are dressed in clothes similar to those of maids.
And the one left, a man in his forties, in a suit.
"Hello Miss Li, I'm Henry Charles, CEO of Sotheby's Asia!"
"Hello Mr. Henry!" Li Shiying politely shook his hand.
"Alright, let's go in first!" The pair of glowing glasses around made Susie very dissatisfied.
Li Shiying smiled, nodded, and several people walked in.
The restaurant on the second floor is completely wrapped up by Susie.
Except for Susie and others, there was no one.
If you want to take over here, you not only need to be powerful, but also the cost is not low, at least 500 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Susie is a Sotheby's shareholder alone, and this hotel doesn't dare to say anything.
Not to mention, Susie is a British viscount!
My aunt is the British Crown Princess!
In the British aristocratic circle, Susie is also considered an upper-class figure.
At least among the younger generation.
"Shiying, you have to compensate me well this time, for your sake, I flew over from England overnight!" As soon as she sat down, Susie poured bitter water.
"Thank you so much for giving you a hug......"
Susie rolled her eyes, "Your stingy personality hasn't changed at all, it's hard to imagine that there is that stupid fool who will ask you to do things!" ”
Li Shiying smiled, she had long been used to Susie's sarcasm.
Speaking of that stupid fool, though.
Li Shiying thought of Qin Ru.
There was always a different feeling in my heart.
"Okay, don't talk about this, my business is clear?"
"That's natural, Henry!"
Susie said to Henry.
Pick up the coffee and drink it gently.
"Miss Li, the board of directors has agreed to the news of the auction of the world's largest black gem, as soon as it is confirmed, the publicity will start immediately, and this world's largest black gem will become one of the five finale auctions of Sotheby's 2017 auction!"
Henry said, very excited.
Now, the competition for auction houses is getting bigger and bigger.
Sotheby's annual profit alone reached more than $5 billion.
It's just the auction profit.
The auction house will receive a commission of 3 to 8 percent.
With this commission alone, Sotheby's earned 5 billion a year.
It can be seen that the value of auction items sold at Sotheby's every year is at least $70 billion!
And to a large extent, it is produced at the annual auction.
A year to prepare, a one-day auction, at least $30 billion.
After a year's collection, only four finales can be found.
It can be seen how difficult it is to collect.
Susie passed the news of the world's largest black gem to the other directors and confirmed the correctness of the video.
I immediately found a gem appraiser to conduct an appraisal.
In the end, the value of the gemstone alone reached more than 5 billion.
If you add other conditions and factors.
The world's largest black gem is likely to end up with a price of more than $10 billion!
You know, even if it's an annual auction, it's rare to see an auction item sold for more than $10 billion in ten years.
Generally speaking, a billion dollars is already a shocking existence for the world.
"Naturally, the cargo ship has returned, and I have already started to contact the helicopter to pick it up directly, and in about two days, you can see that black gem in front of you!"
Last night.
Li Shiying and Qin Ru communicated again.
Let the helicopter be transported to Kavien City, early this morning, Li Shiying has already contacted the airline and specially chartered a plane to fly directly to Kavien City.
In the afternoon, you will arrive in the city of Kavien.
At that time, Qin Ru will take a few people and the 0.6-meter-diameter black gem on a plane and fly directly to Xiangdao International Airport.
The day after tomorrow, the plane will arrive.
"Miss Li, that's really good news, we can do the initial publicity right away, but this document still needs to be signed!"
Henry pulled out a document.
Li Shiying took it and looked at it.
Laughing and shaking his head, "Susie, is this your attitude?" ”
"No, no, no, Shi Ying, this is to protect, after all, once we start publicity, more than half of the rich people in the world will be tempted, but if there is any accident in the black gem itself that cannot be reached? Then, the loss of our Sotheby's, the credibility accumulated over the past few decades will completely collapse, and I am also looking at your face, and I have not seen the auction itself, and I have not yet seen the auction itself, and I have begun to publicize it! ”
Li Shiying hesitated.
Instantly understood Susie's words.
At present, the auction items have not been seen.
Don't say it's a test.
Sotheby's once the publicity went out.
The whole world will shake, so to speak.
Then, this Sotheby's annual auction will be the biggest winner.
However, if for some reason the black gem is not available at the time of the auction.
Sotheby's, then, is deceiving the world.
Even Sotheby's, which claims to be the world's No. 1, can hardly withstand the scolding from the world's richest people.
In all likelihood, decades of Sotheby's credibility could be wasted.
"Alright! I'll sign! After Li Shiying figured it out, she took the pen and signed her name.
The next day, on the Xiangdao International Airport.
A group of foreigners drove their cars straight into the airport.
Li Shiying took Xie Wenlin and others to wait here for a long time.
And Sotheby's also took a screenshot of the black gem in the video.
A global outreach was launched.
The Global Times even showed the ability of the Huaxia Shock Department.
directly on a "Shocked! The world's largest black gem is born! )
In just one day.
The richest people from all over the world, and even the British royal family, personally called Susie to ask about it.
Confirm the matter of the black jewel.
Obviously, this oversized black gem has attracted the attention of the world.
Early the next morning.
Sotheby's contacted a professor at Fragrant Island University.
With Sotheby's Gem Firm and the equipment of Xiangdao University, I rushed directly to Xiangdao International Airport as soon as it was dawn.
Sotheby's has contacted Xiangdao International Airport.
And it was confirmed that the plane landed at 8:40.
It was close to 8:40.
A blue-and-white Airbus-380 appeared on the horizon.
Aim at the runway and slowly descend.
The plane just stopped.
From the cabin, Qin Ru walked down the plane with the three of them.
See the formation below.
Qin Ru was also taken aback.
"Boss, my heart has been lifted!" Li Shiying walked up and said to Qin Ru helplessly.
"Who are these people?"
"Boss, let me introduce you, my friend, Susie, one of the shareholders of Sotheby's auction house, this is Mr. Henry, the CEO of Sotheby's Asia!"
"Hello!" Qin Ru stretched out his hand!
"Susie, this is my current boss, Qin Ru!"
"Hello Mr. Qin!" Susie looked at Qin Ru with interest.
Shake your hand gently.
Qin Ru also instantly understood, Sotheby's was emotional, and came directly to the airport to wait, it seems that this black gem is a great temptation for Sotheby's!
