Chapter XXVIII
Last night's publicity was very successful, Yu Hai got up this morning to look under the various advertisements, and sure enough, there was a lot more popularity.
Especially the crystal sticker bar, many friends in it said that they would help him publicize, and those who have the ability will go to join in the fun.
There are also bar friends who went to watch the live broadcast that the landlord said, and rewarded the anchor, and then returned downstairs to leave a message: The auction requires too much money and can't afford it, so go to the anchor to reward and give a ticket money, thank the landlord, I hope I can see such a good crystal next time.
Some people say that he is a fool and dream, such a crystal is rare to see once in his life, and he looks forward to the next time, think too much.
Yu Hai ignored these people, quit the post bar, searched the address and business hours of the city's auction house on the Internet, and went out with another crystal.
Take the subway to the city center, look at the place where you used to work not far away, and think about your former colleagues, who have already started to work overtime to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.
With light steps, we walked towards the Dingsheng Building, where Hongjin Auction House is located on the 18th floor.
Come to the Hongjin Auction House on the 18th floor, register the number at the front desk, and then be arranged to rest in the waiting room on the side, according to the information on the screen, it is your turn to meet the designated appraiser.
The items to be auctioned by Yu Hai belong to the jewelry category, and there are not many people in line in front, and there are 5 people.
There are more people waiting for the antique appraisal, at least 30 people, some are holding a wooden box in their hands, what is in it can not be seen, and some are holding a calligraphy and painting on their chests, which is also tightly wrapped, and those who know know that it is calligraphy and painting, and those who don't know think that there is a rolling pin.
The reason why so many people come here for appraisal is because the appraisers here are more professional, and the other is that they are free to appraise here. If you don't want to sell it, you don't charge money, so many people come to identify things that they don't know which ancestors have passed down.
Don't think that the auction house will help you identify for free, and you don't entrust his family to auction the items, they seem to work for nothing and will not be profitable.
In fact, everyone who brings a treasure for identification needs to register first, and then the identified items are recorded.
Some customers are looking for certain treasures, and the auction house will provide the contact information of these holders, which is the price of free. I want to be identified for free, and I want others to keep it confidential for you, why?
Of course, there are also money appraisals, which can help keep them confidential, which are indicated on the registration form.
Yu Hai brought treasures to sell for money, so he naturally chose to identify them for free.
Soon, a new round of information appeared on the screen, and it was Yu Hai's turn to identify. As shown above, come to Room 2 of the Gem Identification Area.
Push the door and enter the jewelry appraisal room No. 2, the area is not large, and there is room for a table and two chairs. But there are many professional identification tools on the table, some of which Yu Hai has seen in a jewelry store, and some of which he has never seen.
After all, there are more types of gemstones to be identified here, and if you don't make more preparations, you won't be able to identify them at that time, or if you have an eye, you will smash the signboard.
didn't see the appraiser say anything, Yu Hai could only sit on the chair opposite him by himself, use his backpack as a cover, take out the crystal prism that had been wrapped in a white towel and put it on the table, and then carefully open the wrapped towel and transfer the crystal prism to the flannel on the table.
Jewelry is not exquisite, it has a history.
For example, in the news some time ago, a customer went to a physical store to take a fancy to a bracelet with a price of 380,000 yuan, just when he picked up the bracelet to watch, unexpectedly the backpack fell off, and when the customer held the backpack with his hand, the hand was loosened, and the bracelet fell to the ground and fell directly on the floor tile, and the result is naturally conceivable. There was silence at the scene, except for the sound of broken jade, there was a dead silence around, and everyone's eyes were focused on the broken bracelet piece! After negotiation, the store lost 30,000 yuan and counted himself as unlucky! The customer paid 350,000 yuan to settle it peacefully.
Therefore, the appraiser does not reach out to receive the jewelry handed over by the customer, and waits for the customer to put the jewelry that needs to be firm on the designated flannel cloth, and the appraisal officially begins, and there are several cameras in the room to avoid all accidents.
The appraiser began to look at the crystal prism, and Yu Hai began to look around, then began to observe the appraiser, and finally carefully observed how the appraiser identified it.
The appraiser seemed to be a little unbelievable that such a vivid insect pattern could appear in the natural crystal, for fear that this was synthetic, and he repeatedly identified it several times, and used several methods to identify its authenticity.
The crystal prism that Yu Hai took out this time was not the same as the one he had taken pictures and put on the Internet before.
This one is slightly smaller, only 12 centimeters high, and the pattern inside is a butterfly, the butterfly's wings do not look so rounded, some with thorns, and angular. These are the crystals inside that are naturally formed, and Yu Hai named this crystal "Ice Crystal Butterfly".
After the appraiser repeatedly identified it in different ways, he waited until the ice crystal butterfly was put back on the flannel before he spoke.
First of all, he said a lot of professional terms, talking about the conditions, environment, and rarity of this crystal, anyway, Yu Hai didn't understand it, he just kept nodding his head, pretending to understand.
After talking for a few minutes, he finally talked about the price of the crystal prism that Yu Haixin was thinking about.
"After my appraisal, the market price of this crystal prism should be 5-60,000 yuan, and the auction price should be able to reach more than 80,000 yuan. ”
There is another sentence: before the appearance of this crystal in large quantities, the appraiser did not believe that this natural crystal could still be mass-produced, so he did not say it.
When Yu Hai heard the price, he was very happy and immediately said that he would entrust the auction.
The appraiser is also happy because then he can get a certain commission. Take out a form from the drawer under the table, fill in the price, the appraiser, and the estimated market price, and the final transaction price, and with Yu Hai's consent, write the starting price, and then sign your name.
Yu Hai took the entrustment contract, and after checking it, he signed his name without any problem, in duplicate, with photos of the auction items pasted on it, and also stamped with the official seal and signed.
Yu Hai collected the contract, left the room, and returned the same way.
After Yu Hai left, the appraiser took out a moderately sized box from under the table and put the ice crystal butterfly into the box, which was covered with a thick flannel cloth to avoid bumping the items.
Pressing a button under the table, the door behind the appraiser was opened, and a young man walked in, took the contract and the box containing the auction items, and left the way he came.
Categorize the lots received and the contracts for future auctions.
