00234 Valuable and Worthless (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Mr. Dorman, I have a collection in my possession, and I can't determine the value of this collection, can you please help me identify it?"

"Absolutely. ”

Chen Cao thought about it for a while and decided to leave the ink-splashed landscape paintings behind.

When the new house is renovated, it will be used as a decoration for the bedroom.

All the others were taken to Mr. Dorman for his help.

In the afternoon, Chen Cao took the collection early and went to Mr. Dorman's residence.

Mr. Dorman was a little surprised to see so many things taken out of Chen Cao's backpack.

"Mr. Chen, are you going to sell these things?"

"There is a plan for this. ”

Mr. Dorman began to examine each of the collections, and the first thing he picked up was a piece of porcelain, a bowl and plate.

Judging from this process, this should be the bone china exclusively for the British royal family in the mid-seventeenth century, which is quite intact and has a market value, and the market price should be around 100,000 US dollars. ”

This is a good start, Chen Cao nodded.

In fact, the most valuable is the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, especially the Jingdezhen porcelain, which can be said to be well-known at home and abroad.

In today's antique market, a well-preserved genuine product can easily cost millions or even tens of millions.

Most of the foreign porcelain was also imported from China, and at the end of the sixteenth century, the British invented bone china.

The texture of the bone china is completely different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Chinese porcelain is harder, more delicate and delicate, and the patterns are more fancy.

On the other hand, British bone china has a soft texture, and when you touch it, you will find that it is a bit like the softness that comes into contact with the skin.

And in the backlight direction, the higher the bone meal content, the better the light transmittance, and more than 40% will have a translucent texture.

Mr. Dorman then picked up a second piece in his collection, a copper smoker.

Judging by the craftsmanship of this piece, it is possible that it was a smoker used by the Spanish aristocracy in the thirteenth century, and there is a line in Spanish on it: Medinale...... Medinale is the oldest aristocrat in Spain, but the specific year needs to be tested for carbon 14, and the conservative valuation should be between 30~350,000 US dollars. ”

Hearing Mr. Dorman's offer, Chen Cao's face was overjoyed.

Originally, the porcelain he had hoped for was only $100,000, but a copper smoker could sell for more than $300,000.

Mr. Dorman picked up the tattered diary again and flipped through two pages: "It is also in Spanish, it is a nautical diary, written only by a crew member from the seventeenth century named Bella Cambris, and has no value. ”

Mr. Dorman put the journal on the other side and began to identify the next one.

In the process, Mr. Dorman divides the valuable and the unvaluable.

Among them, the highest estimate is the copper smoker, and the lowest price is a mirror, estimated at only $10,000, a work from the early 20th century, and the workmanship is relatively delicate.

The last one has been identified, and a total of 12 pieces are of some or very high value.

Four pieces of the collection are of no value, or are of no value.

The twelve pieces are valued at around $10,000 to $300,000, with a total estimated value of between $800,000 and $1,000,000.

As for the other four pieces of the collection, Chen Cao took them back by himself.

But twelve pieces of the collection were to be sold, and Mr. Dorman's private appraisal was not enough.

It needs to go through a professional appraisal agency, such as an appraisal report issued by Mr. Dorman's appraisal company.

Although Mr. Dorman is also very professional, this is a preliminary appraisal result, which is the bottom given first.

His accuracy rate should be above 80%, and as for the final value, it needs to be further evaluated.

Chen Cao agreed that Mr. Dorman would take it to the company for appraisal and conduct a more detailed and scientific appraisal method.

The two sides signed a preliminary agreement, and Chen Cao mainly signed a cooperation agreement and an agreement to ensure that it was not a thief.

Mr. Dorman, on the other hand, was the first refusal to acquire the rights and paid a deposit of $300,000 in advance.

If there is another institution or individual at a higher price, Chen Cao certainly has the right to sell to someone else, in addition to returning the deposit, he also has to pay interest at the bank rate.

Although Chen Cao and Mr. Dorman have a good personal relationship, both parties have shown a rigorous attitude in matters of contract and cooperation.

After the business was over, Mr. Dorman and Chen Cao chatted.

"Mr. Chen, when do you think Normans will be able to complete the slimming plan?"

"It's estimated that it will take about ten days. ”

"It only took you twelve days for her to lose her weight from two hundred and eighty pounds to one hundred and forty pounds, does it take ten days to reduce one hundred and forty pounds to one hundred and twenty pounds?"

"Mr. Dorman, weight loss is not calculated like this, what was lost before was fat and water, but now the proportion of fat content in Normans' body is very low, so the weight loss effect at this time is not as good as before, in fact, my suggestion is that Normans can now do facelift surgery, so that it is more convenient for her to lose weight in the back, instead of running around with her belly as it is now, which brings her great inconvenience. ”

"Normans told me about it, and she wanted to be able to get down to a weight she'd like before she had surgery, not now. ”

"It's not a big difference, and if Normans is willing to drag on to his current state, I have no objection. ”

In fact, when Normans had a facelift was not within the scope of Chen Cao's functions.

Even if she doesn't have facelift surgery for the rest of her life, Chen Cao can't care about it.

Chen Cao is only responsible for her weight, not for arranging her beauty.

Subsequently, Chen Cao went to start weight loss training for Normans.

"Normans, your arms are still a little thick, we're going to train your arms today. ”

"How do you train?"

"Running boxing, keep your feet moving, keep your arms punching, like that, keep going. ”

The day's training began again, and Normans rigorously followed the training arranged by Chen Cao.

Running-style boxing training lasts half an hour, then the swim begins, followed by the butterfly.

"Chen, I'm going to have a facelift, do you have any suggestions?"

"No, but facelift surgery will inevitably leave scars, if you want to remove the scar and quickly restore the surgical wound, you can ask me, I will take this business. ”

"Bastard. Normans gritted his teeth: "I will never give you this business, as long as the weight loss training is over, I will not give you any more business." ”

"Whatever you want. Chen Cao shrugged his shoulders: "Don't eat spicy food before and after surgery, don't touch water for three days after surgery, and stop training the day before surgery." ”

"Why stop?"

"Release muscle tension, if it is still as intense as today's exercise, it will cause muscle tightness, and after the facelift surgery, it is likely to cause muscle misalignment, and then it will be very troublesome, it is best to hire a masseur to soothe the muscles on your body. ”()
