Chapter 358: Good Treasures Are Hidden
Considering the large number of salvage items that need to be purchased this time, the appraisers of Gade Auction House who were invited to come could not return on the same day. The Hailao porcelain in the constant temperature warehouse alone is enough for them to identify it for about a day.
As for the corresponding valuation, there is naturally a special person in charge of the valuation. On the basis of the previous cooperation, the auction house did not dare to treat Hailong Company badly. Everyone knows that the background of this salvage company is stronger than that of their auction house.
Even Liu Yue, who is well-known in the world's auction house, now comes to the base and wants to see Xu Haibao, and he also needs Xu Haibao's permission. In a sense, Xu Haibao's identity and influence have surpassed her a lot.
Even so, Liu Yue didn't feel anything wrong. The more he learned about Xu Haibao, the more frightened Liu Yue became. can take this relationship, which is already worthy of the envy of many people, so why is she not satisfied?
At least every time she comes to the base, Xu Haibao will give her a few secret seafood in the form of gifts. Although there are still some restrictions, few people really have this kind of extra treatment.
After getting permission, Liu Yue, under the leadership of Tang Xingyou, soon came to Villa No. 1 where Xu Haibao lived. On the way to the villa, Liu Yue sighed slightly: "Mr. Tang, the air in your base is really fresh!"
"The air is definitely different from the inland!"
"Every time I come to you, I feel like there's a huge difference. When I first visited, there were no trees on the island. But in such a short period of time, your island has become green. Rare!"
In order to improve the company's living environment, the boss has never stopped renovating the environment on the island. These trees were brought in from all over the country at a high price to be planted. We have also spent a lot of money to have such an environment!"
Regarding the changes in the Sea Dragon base, not many people know the inside story. It is not very likely that an upper-class person like Liu Yue, who has connections and connections, wants to know the core inside information about the Hailong base.
Walking into the villa where Xu Haibao lives, I feel that the air quality in this room seems to be better than that outside. Staying inside, Liu Yue also had the urge to rely on not wanting to leave. This impulse made Liu Yue feel that this villa should not be simple.
"The boss is working on the papers, let's go to his office and talk!"
"Okay, excuse me!"
When Liu Yue entered Xu Haibao's office in the villa, he looked at Xu Haibao who was giving instructions for the documents, and said with a smile: "Dong Xu, it seems that you are really busy!
"Welcome, welcome! Just came back, a mess of things waiting to be handled, there is really no way! Liu Dong, you sit down for a while, I will dispose of the few documents at hand, and then we are chatting slowly. Old Tang, pour Liu Yue a glass of coconut water!"
"Okay, you get busy first!
Although I don't understand why Xu Haibao didn't invite her to tea or coffee, but invited her to drink coconut water. But as a guest, Liu Yue naturally did not refuse the host's hospitality. What's more, she herself came to disturb Xu Haibao's work.
Until Tang Xingyou brought a glass of coconut water and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, this coconut water is grown on the island, a rare and delicious drink." If it were someone else, I guess our boss wouldn't want to take this hospitality!"
"Well, I'm a little flattered!"
Liu Yue, who replied with a smile, took a sip of the coconut water in the cup with full curiosity. The sweet and fragrant taste instantly intoxicated her, and she couldn't help but sigh: "This coconut water is so delicious!"
"If it's delicious, drink more! A coconut should have about two cups of coconut water. Drinking more of this coconut water can also have a beauty effect. There aren't many coconuts on the island, and we occasionally pick some to beat the tooth!"
"Thank you, thank you! It seems that Xu Dong is not only good at raising fish, but also has the ability of this kind of fruit tree!"
Knowing that this unique coconut water must be the same as the secret seafood cultivated by Xu Haibao, it is a good thing that is hard to find for money. Liu Yue, who is rare to visit, naturally will not be polite to Xu Haibao, how can he not drink it if he has the opportunity to taste it for free?
After processing some management documents sent by the company, Xu Haibao also began to make tea and chatted with Liu Yue, who came to visit. When talking about this harvest, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "Chairman Liu's news seems to be very well-informed!"
"There! I just think that since you have salvaged the shipwreck, there must be more than just sea fishing porcelain, right? What's more, Mr. Tang also said before that you have salvaged a lot of good things this time. Those good things, can you allow us a few?
Don't hide it from Mr. Xu, our company is making every effort to explore overseas markets. First, to promote our porcelain culture and cultural relics to the world, and secondly, to recover some precious cultural relics that have been lost abroad.
It is a pity that most of the items that the company sells are not very popular with foreign buyers. Therefore, we also need some unique lots. If Dong Xu can help, we are also grateful!"
Listening to what Liu Yue said, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "Liu Dong has a sentence, I agree with it." In the early years, there were many cultural relics in our country that were scattered overseas, which really made people feel a little regretful. If it can be recovered, it is also a merit.
Liu Dong's personality and ethics, I naturally believe in it. Otherwise, it would not be necessary to contact Chairman Liu to be responsible for the acquisition every time something is salvaged. To be honest, several other auction houses have been hoping to take over our salvage items!
But I think that we are all children of the Celestial Empire, and if there are some things, there is no need to rely on those foreign devils. I did find good things this time, and some of them were sent to auction, which will surely cause a shock to the world.
As the boss of the auction house, I believe that Liu Dong should have heard about the Mughal Empire being sacked by colonists. On their way back, the colonists were ambushed by pirates. And this time, I salvaged a small part of it. ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yue said with a shocked face: "Have you salvaged the pirate treasure?"
"If nothing else, it should be so! I just invited a few archaeologists who specialize in the Mughal Empire to identify the objects. Many of these items are supposed to be from the royal family.
In addition, we also salvaged a batch of precious jadeite rough and rare gemstones. I believe these things will also arouse the interest of many buyers. There will also be a batch of Western gold and silver coins, which will also be handed over to you for purchase at that time.
In fact, if you really hand over the things salvaged this time to you for purchase, I'm afraid that your financial pressure will also be very great. On top of that, there are some rare jadeites and gemstones that I don't plan to sell at the moment.
Considering that we are all old friends, I will also discuss with those experts at that time, and the three of us will sit down to discuss and analyze. Select some representative items to send for auction. I'm sure there will be a lot of international buyers interested!"
Regarding Xu Haibao's straightforwardness, Liu Yue didn't think there was anything wrong. If Xu Haibao really salvaged the pirate treasure, I believe that the price of that treasure is difficult to estimate. Even if her auction house has strong funds, she may not have the strength to eat this piece of fat.
Now there are some selective lots, which also greatly promote the reputation of her auction house. Correspondingly, she only needs to negotiate the corresponding commission, and does not need to pay the corresponding fees in advance.
In addition, there is a national level of participation, which will also make the auction house less discussed. After all, when it comes to the auction of an ancient imperial civilization, it will indeed attract too many people's attention. There is no shortage of collectors for this kind of good stuff!
After negotiating the relevant cooperation and commission collection ratio, Liu Yue felt that the auction house also made a lot of money, so he naturally would not refuse such cooperation. As Xu Haibao said, any auction house will be interested in these good things in his hands.
With the help of the treasures and cultural relics salvaged by Xu Haibao this time, Liu Yue believes that next year's spring auction, Gade Auction House will also shock the world. Such a reputation is naturally extremely effective for the auction house to expand its auction business around the world.
Wait until the invited experts have identified the pirate treasure recovered by Xu Haibao. The heads of the three parties also sat down to discuss the specific lots. On the national side, Xu Haibao gave six pieces of the Mughal Empire collection for free.
One of them is still a very rare royal ornament, and if it is put up for auction, it is believed that its price is also very expensive. In addition, Xu Haibao also provided four pieces of national treasure-level porcelain from his personal collection.
Looking at the four pieces of porcelain, Liu Yue, who participated in the meeting, said with a slight complaint: "Dong Xu, you have a good treasure hidden!"
Facing Liu Yue's complaints, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "Liu Dong should know how rare these four pieces of porcelain are. Even if I want to sell it to you, I'm afraid that Liu Dong won't dare to send it for auction, right?
These four pieces of porcelain are all rare porcelain that Xu Haibao salvaged from the sea. After the baptism of the nameless pearl space, there is no sign of Hailao porcelain. It can be said that these porcelains have been restored to their original characteristics.
The special elder, who was in charge of receiving the cultural relics, was also well aware of the importance of these four pieces of porcelain. The experts who accompanied him to do the appraisal also felt very shocked that Xu Haibao gave ten treasures at a time.
To put it mildly, any of these ten treasures can become a first-class collection of the National Museum. The research and economic value of those four pieces of porcelain cannot be compared with some porcelain in the National Museum.
But in Xu Haibao's view, these four highly representative rare official kiln porcelains are still in his private collection. Giving four pieces to the country is also a sign of kindness. In the future, he will donate these porcelains one after another.
Even if you don't donate, it is a good choice to build a private museum in the future. For Xu Haibao, who is a man of two lives, collecting these rare treasures is also one of his hobbies!
Seeing off these visiting experts, Xu Haibao also prepared to go back to his hometown. Among the things salvaged from this voyage, the truly priceless things are also time to be given to the monks of the temples who have been waiting for a long time!
