Chapter 5 Valuation
Seeing that the two experts couldn't get any result from arguing at all, Commissioner Su, who was in charge of reception, hurriedly stood up and separated them, and then asked with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry to let you see the joke." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info May I take the liberty of asking, where did you get these gems?"
"It's nothing, I admire the pragmatic attitude of these two experts. As for the origin of the gems, it doesn't hurt to tell you, they were found behind a bronze gate. Lu Li replied half-truthfully.
Things have come to this point, and whether Sotheby's is willing to accept these gadgets or not, he has already got the answers he wants.
Not to mention the rarity, the fact that they are harder than diamonds is enough to make them sell for sky-high prices, especially in industrial cutting, grinding, etc., there will definitely be countless countries to grab the head.
"A door?"
Commissioner Su, who was around forty years old, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his face showed an unconcealable surprise.
Lu Li explained with a smile: "That's right, a door.
To tell you the truth, I'm a middleman who specializes in collectibles for curious clients.
For the past two years, I've been collecting all sorts of unique doors for an old American named Hans.
This morning there happened to be a bronze door that had just been collected from the countryside, the shape is very chic, according to the normal procedure, it should be a simple clean-up, contact the customer directly, and then send it to the United States by international express.
Unfortunately, after a phone call, I learned that the client had passed away, so the door was a failed investment.
In order to vent the frustration in my heart, I punched the door, only to be surprised to find that there was a mechanism hidden behind it, and these gems were found in the dark compartment of the mechanism.
Perhaps, as the old saying goes, if you lose your horse, you will not know if you are blessed. ”
"Oh my God, this is legendary, your luck is nothing short of impressive. Commissioner Su sighed enviously.
"I also think I'm lucky that even something like this can be turned into a good thing. By the way, can you pick up these gems?" Lu Li, who was anxiously waiting for the money, directly began to ask about the question he was most concerned about.
Although he has also made some money over the years, most of it has been spent, and the rest has also invested in gold in the first two years, plus the 300,000 yuan spent on the acquisition of the bronze door, and now the deposit on hand is less than six figures.
Obviously, it is unrealistic to expect this amount of money to buy weapons and equipment, especially in the Celestial Empire, a country where weapons management is so strict that it is almost harsh.
Sensing that Lu Li had the intention of leaving, Commissioner Su didn't even think about it, and immediately replied affirmatively: "Yes! Why not! Just because these gems have never appeared before, we must." However, I need to ask the headquarters for instructions on how to auction it, and I may have to do some detailed tests, so I hope you are mentally prepared. ”
"No problem, I can wait. Lu Li raised his hand and made a gesture of please.
Commissioner Su was not polite, briefly communicated with the two experts, immediately picked up the phone, dialed the number located in the New York headquarters, and after fifteen minutes of conversation, he finally hung up the phone, with a happy smile on his face.
"Mr. Lu, it is my great honor to inform you that in two months' time, these little treasures of yours will participate in the Sotheby's Autumn Auction in New York, especially the largest blue gem, which will be one of the finale items. But before that, we want to test the stones in all directions before the auction, and of course everything is done without damaging them. ”
Lu Li had no reason to refuse at all, and immediately nodded: "Yes, I think we can sign the agreement now." ”
"Thank you so much for your trust, and I swear you will never regret your choice. ”
It may be because of the negotiation of a big deal, Commissioner Su looked a little excited, and a faint flush appeared on his face, but it could also be a sign of high blood pressure attack.
After signing the relevant agreement, Lu Li pointed to the lenses scattered in the box and asked the two experts: "Can you tell me how much these gems can be sold for?"
The old white man hesitated slightly, and quickly replied, "To be honest, these gems you have brought are difficult to value.
Because firstly they are unique, secondly they are harder than anything known on earth, and finally, there is the very ornamental halo in the center of the gemstone, which, according to the instrument, seems to be some kind of mysterious energy, which is of great value for research.
Combining these three points, I wouldn't be surprised even if they sold for a sky-high price at that time.
If you insist on getting a specific number, I can only estimate it from a jewelry perspective.
Let's talk about the largest blue gem first, according to the world's largest sapphire, the Adam Star Carat, which sold for more than $100 million, it is worth at least $150 million to $200 million, and it is far more than the former in terms of weight, color, and ornamentality.
The remaining smaller ones probably range from a few million to tens of millions, but fortunately, the total number is not much, otherwise it will definitely affect the price. ”
"So after the autumn auction is over, I'm an out-and-out billionaire?" Lu Li subconsciously clenched his fists, his palms full of sweat.
Although after six or seven years of struggle after graduating from college, he is considered to have a small fortune, but compared with hundreds of millions of dollars, it is like the difference between an ant and an elephant, and it is false to say that he is not excited.
Fortunately, he has been dealing with rich people at home and abroad all year round, so that he has developed the habit of being moody and silent, but he finally did not show it.
Commissioner Su laughed and said, "Yes, the autumn auction is over, and Mr. Lu is an out-and-out billionaire." Judging by your face, I'm afraid you're not even thirty years old this year, right?"
"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, I'm about to celebrate my thirtieth birthday, and I'm already qualified to be called an uncle. ”
Knowing that it wouldn't take long for him to get hundreds of millions of dollars, Lu Li seemed very happy, and even was in the mood to joke.
"Now these young people are ......," Commissioner Su sighed, and then asked: "By the way, I don't know if Mr. Lu has ever thought about getting a green card for immigration? Although the Immigration Bureau is now much stricter on investment immigration, we still have a way to let you get a green card as quickly as possible, without waiting at all, let alone filling out those messy forms." ”
mentioned the word immigration, Lu Li's heart was instantly moved.
After all, to explore the other side of the gate, he needs a lot of weapons and equipment, especially to buy guns and military bows and crossbows, although it is not impossible to buy in China, but once he is caught, he will definitely go to prison, but the United States is different, where it is easy to buy different models of firearms and weapons.
