Chapter 107: Collection and Appreciation The police arrived
"I counted the cash when I loaded it, and it totaled more than 1.7 million. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The bulk of the more than 1.7 million cash was in the CFO's office, and Lin Xu took out the entire 1.6 million yuan from his safe, plus more than 5,000 small money in the drawer. The rest is more than 20,000 found in the general manager's office, and more than 100,000 in the chairman's office. Together, these add up to more than 1.7 million. As for the specific single digits, Lin Xu didn't count them in detail.
After pointing to the pile of cash and saying a word, Lin Xu pointed to the antiques, jade, gold, diamonds, famous watches and other things on the bed, and said, "I don't know the specific value of these things, it's up to you." With that, he opened the scroll and said, "Yes, there are still these calligraphy and paintings." ā
"You got off to a good start this first time, and the harvest is not small!" Li Feiyan smiled, came over and walked to the other side of the bed and sat down, picked up the famous watch first, looked at it, and said: "This watch is Patek Philippe, which is much more expensive than the Rolex that Cui Suying gave you, and this one is worth at least 200,000 yuan." ā
"Two hundred thousand?" Lin Xu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Good guy, he felt that the Rolex of tens of thousands of yuan that Cui Suying gave him before was expensive enough, but he didn't expect this to be more expensive, and it was many times more expensive, hundreds of thousands. He really can't understand this, isn't the watch just a time watch, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a watch, what is the difference between spending a few dollars to buy it, and it is not too heavy to wear it.
As for this Patek Philippe brand, although Li Feiyan said that it was more expensive than Rolex, he had never heard of it at all, and this was the first time he had heard it. Originally, he didn't know much about these luxury goods, and he knew about Rolex only because he often appeared in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.
Li Feiyan looked at him in surprise, shook her head and smiled: "Your knowledge has grown, 200,000 is nothing, there are millions of famous watches." ā
When Lin Xu heard this, he didn't know what to say. Millions of watches, he felt that he was completely beyond comprehension. People who buy this kind of thing, it's really too much money to spend.
Li Feiyan put down the watch box in his hand, then picked up the box containing the diamond necklace and opened it, after looking at it, he said: "This chain is cheap, more than 100,000 yuan!"
Then he put it down, opened the box of gold bars again, picked up a piece and checked it, and said: "This is a hundred grams, a total of ten, according to the current gold price, it is also more than 200,000." With the processing fee and the collection value, this box of 300,000 should be able to be sold. ā
The value of gold and diamonds has always been high, this is what Lin Xu already knows, and he is not surprised by the value of these two things. It's just that a watch is worth more than 200,000 yuan, he doesn't understand it at all, he reaches out and picks up this watch and looks carefully, he really can't see where the value is, it doesn't look like it's made of gold, and the strap is only genuine leather. In terms of the value of the material, it is really not worth the price at all.
Li Feiyan put down the gold bar in his hand, closed the box, saw that he still didn't understand, and said with a smile: "This thing is collectible, and it will appreciate in value after a few years, just like an antique." That kind of watch with millions of dollars is not sold so expensive as soon as it is produced, and watches like this are generally antiques. Our Chinese antiques, porcelain is a big category, and foreign antiques, watches are a big category. It's like porcelain, to put it bluntly, it's just clay and burned, but the expensive ones can still be sold for millions of dollars. This watch doesn't look at things that are worth much, but the craftsmanship is high. Don't say that you didn't spend any money, even if you spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy it, after a few years of appreciation, you can sell it again, and you can make tens of thousands more, what do you say is not worth it?"
Li Feiyan compared porcelain, and Lin Xu couldn't help but nod and understand a little. It is indeed the principle that the value of this kind of thing does not only depend on the material itself. And as Li Feiyan said, buy a piece and sell it after a few years of appreciation, which means that this confession has been carried for a few years, not only did it not cost money, but it also made money, and there is really nothing to lose. Sure enough, rich people are not stupid, and they don't just spend money. It does make sense that luxury goods can exist and remain popular for tens or hundreds of years.
Speaking of porcelain, Li Feiyan then picked up a piece of porcelain and looked up and down at the valuation. Antiques are different from gold, jewelry, and luxury goods, and if you are not careful, even experts may look away. Therefore, to make a specific valuation, Li Feiyan still needs to take a closer look.
Seeing that she didn't say a bid for a while, Lin Xu didn't urge, put down the watch in his hand and stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down. Through the window here, you can see that on the sea below, the helicopter's aviation fuel and floating wreckage are still burning. However, because of the angle, he couldn't see the beach over there, and Lin Xu didn't know whether the foreign chick was still fainting and lying on the ground at this time, or if she had already woken up and fled. When he kicked down before, because he was afraid that the other party's body was too weak, he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that he would accidentally kick him to death if it was a little too much.
"By the way, did you see that helicopter crash when you came back just now?" Li Feiyan asked when he saw him looking out the window and remembered it.
Lin Xu nodded and said, "I saw it." I don't know where the helicopter is, but it runs to the sea in the middle of the night. He decided to keep his contact with the foreign chick a secret from Li Feiyan, anyway, because of the angle, she didn't see what happened on the beach, and she wasn't worried that she would find out.
"Who knows!" Li Feiyan replied, and continued to study the porcelain in his hand. After looking at it carefully for a while, she said: "This piece should be from the Qing Dynasty, it's not too valuable, it's about 100,000!"
When she put down the one in her hand and picked up the second one to start researching, Lin Xu drove to the beach through the floor-to-ceiling window, and there were red and blue lights flickering into the sea, and it was estimated that the police car had arrived. Although you can't directly see the beach from this location, the position of the sea surface that you can see is not far away, the lights flicker in the night, reflecting far away, plus there is also the reflection of sea water, Lin Xu can also see it clearly.
When Li Feiyan began to study the fourth piece of porcelain, Lin Xu saw that on the sea in the distance, a steamer with flashing red and blue warning lights drove from far and near, heading towards the place where the helicopter crashed and fell. It is estimated that after dawn, some of the wreckage that has sunk to the bottom of the sea will also be salvaged.
Lin Xu was very curious about the situation of the foreign chick, whether she was taken into the car by the police at this time, or whether she woke up and fled before the police came. But it's a pity that he can't see the beach from this angle, and he can only cry out in vain. But on second thought, since it has been decided not to meddle in this matter, why bother to know. It doesn't matter what her situation is, it's all about him anyway. It's none of your business, hang it high, and treat it as if it didn't happen anyway.
