Ou Yiran asked again: "How is the progress of the road construction of Ou Zhou and Jiangyang's research institute, and can it be completed on schedule?" ”

Yun Lei said: "The two of them are staring there, the planned construction period is half a year, and it has only been under construction for more than two months, and it is still early!" ”

Ou Yiran nodded and said, "After the road is repaired, that manor is worth 200 million at least." The price difference alone has exceeded the cost of repairing the road. ”

Yun Lei smiled: "Yes, Sha Yaer and Bedar are still hesitating, accept the position of SUSTech, and they are reluctant to live in the paradise of the institute." Go to the research institute, and I can't bear to have a pair of granddaughters and grandchildren of dragon and phoenix fetuses. What do you say? ”

Ou Yiran said: "There is no hurry, it will take three months to repair the road, and there is time to think about it." ”

Yun Lei said: "The two scientists said that the valley has beautiful scenery and a paradise, and it is a good place to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness. After the road was opened, it was the hottest season in the Special Administrative Region, so we went there to escape the heat and see how beautiful it was. ”

"Hehe, you go, what about a pair of dragon and phoenix fetal babies, is it difficult to let the mother suffer alone?"

"Let's go together, so that the grandchildren are cool and cool."

"Bad things have a time to turn into good things. A trip to Bay Island got a water community mountain manor. Destroying the black organization of Pluto and getting a paradise is really not enough to say about this luck. ”

"Probably because of the providence of God, the two manors used to be bandits' nests, but they have both become the reward of their four siblings for their actions to eliminate evil and promote good."

Ou Yiran said again: "This also fulfills the old saying, good people have good rewards." The construction period of the third-generation intelligent and enterprising artificial intelligence heart production line of Rongda Medical Company is one year. Three months later, the road was repaired, and the grandchildren turned one year old. Shayar and Bedar began to work on the design of automatic bioelectric charging. In terms of time, it seems that it is just in time for the needs of the production project. ”

Yun Lei said: "Everything is going according to plan, and nothing will be delayed." ”

"Okay, let's go to the museum and find Yaliang and see how to get to Hong Kong Island?" After Ou Yiran finished speaking, the two locked the door of the investment department and took the elevator downstairs.

In the summer, the southern metropolis is simply a heat wave.

Walking on the sidewalk, pedestrians from south to north rubbed shoulders one after another, sweating like rain and walking in a hurry.

The air-conditioning in the Wrong Coin Museum is full of horsepower, which makes the investors who come to appreciate and observe like a spring breeze.

Because it is only separated from Hong Kong Island by a bridge, Ou Yiran discussed with Yaliang and decided to drive there instead of taking a flight. In this way, Yun Lei can go and experience the live auction.

After settling everything, at three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the three of them drove and crossed the Lo Wu Bridge to Hong Kong Island.

Spend the night at the famous Victoria Hotel, where you can enjoy the night breeze on the outdoor observation deck, sip wine, and admire the fantastic neon lights reflected on the river.

In view of the huge influence of auction companies in the industry, and their investment in publicity, more than 20 bidders have signed up.

Limited to signing a confidentiality agreement, it is inconvenient to disclose their identity. But Ou Yiran and Yaliang can still sniff out some clues from it.

Mr. Jin from Macau did not know how he obtained an inside information that several of the more than 20 bidders were internationally renowned collectors.

The same is true in this regard, and it is not surprising that Europe is at all.

The purpose of entrusting this company is to use the good relationships of the great collectors they have in their possession all over the world to carry out targeted and targeted publicity. So as to achieve what you want.

The official start of the auction was 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, and the collections arranged for this auction were all wrong coins from all over the world.

Mr. Jin from Macau also had the wrong coins in the auction. Because of the distance, he drove over early in the morning.

Ou Yiran gave him a seat. The four of them sat together, waiting for the company's first-ever auction of wrong coins.

Each person has a brochure with a detailed description and description of the lots. There is also a starting price and an estimated transaction price.

These days, Mr. Kim is well aware of the various misprints in the brochure.

And Ou Yiran didn't plan to participate in the bidding, and secondly, he was really busy these days and didn't have time to browse the gallery.

On the contrary, Yaliang had enough time to carefully read the wrong coins in the brochure several times.

The 9 o'clock auction began, starting with a biased Double Eagle one-dollar coin, which was bought by a foreign buyer for 150,000 Hong Kong dollars after several rounds of competition.

The second was a fifty-pound missing coin in very good condition, in a PMG-certified box, with a score of 66.

Unlike other collections, the industry has a dedicated appraisal agency and has a far-reaching influence. The inclusion of the collection in the box of both PMG and PCGM is equivalent to full protection, so it is very well recognized in the industry.

And these collections are usually in high demand.

In recent years, the same is true for domestic auction companies, as long as it is into the box coins of the above two companies, the starting price is not too outrageous, and there is no shortage of people who raise cards.

For example, the opening price of this 50 pound missing coin was 550,000 Hong Kong dollars, and there were as many as 30 people holding up the card at this moment.

In terms of skin color, there are yellow, white, brown, and black people.

Missing prints, folding, folk, and offset are common in the market, and the formation process of errors is well known to everyone. Therefore, the starting price of HK$5,600,000 is normal.

The larger the missing area, the better the condition and the greater the value.

Two years ago, a well-known auction company in China auctioned a 90 version of a coin with an overall missing print on the back, the opening price was 4,000 yuan, and it was finally sold for 19,800 yuan. The one-dollar wrong coin is still on a well-known art website.

The spectacular scene of more than 30 people holding up their cards together is the first time Ou Yiran has seen it. Not to mention Yaliang.

After the price of the £50 missing print rose to one million Hong Kong dollars, more than half of the people had already withdrawn from the bid.

Ou Yiran smiled and asked, "Mr. Jin, what price do you think this coin will be sold at in the end?" ”

"Referring to the results of a previous auction of similar collections in London, it probably will not exceed 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Yaliang, what range do you think this wrong coin will be traded?" Ou Yiran asked instead.

"It won't be more than two million Hong Kong dollars." Yaliang said.

Mr. Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Ou, you might as well also estimate the price, right?" ”

"I guess, it's about three million Hong Kong dollars, right?"

"Oh, how can there be such a high valuation?" Mr. Kim and Yaliang couldn't help but be surprised.

Ou Yiran showed them the London missing coin that was converted and sold for 1.65 million Hong Kong dollars on his mobile phone a few years ago, and said his own reason: "This missing coin has reappeared here after three years, and there is not enough room for a premium, how can the collector make a sale?" ”

After Mr. Jin and Yaliang looked at it carefully, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "This reason is also sufficient. Looking at today's popularity, it seems that this is possible. ”

While the three of them were laughing, the wrong coin had broken through the transaction price three years ago.

At this moment, there are seven bidders left.

Yun Lei smiled and said, "Among these seven people, are there any scalpers?" ”

Mr. Jin said: "I think at least three of them are scalpers!" ”

"How so!" Yun Lei looked at him intently.

"This is not uncommon at auctions. Some people are greedy for profit, and in order to push up the price of the collection, they will hire scalpers to enter the market and cooperate with the bidding. ”

"But what if someone finds out?"

"Scalpers know each other well, and when they find that no one is following up, they will immediately stop bidding."

"What if they get to the last bite?"

"In that case, the collector will have to pay the handling fee and the employment fee to bring back the collection."

Yun Lei smiled: "It turns out that the risk of hiring scalpers is quite large. ”

was interrupted by Ou Yiran: "Look, the kung fu of speaking is two million." ”

"There are five other bidders, and if three of them are scalpers, then two are real collectors," said Mr. Kim. ”

"Mr. No. 36 bid HK$2,150,000." The auctioneer excitedly exclaimed, "Are there any bidders?" ”

"Two million three thousand yuan." A woman held up a sign.

"Okay, 2.3 million yuan, is there any bidder?" The auctioneer asked passionately.

"Two and a half million yuan." At this time, a man who had never participated in the bidding suddenly raised a sign to bid for the price.

Mr. Jin said in a low voice: "This must be a relay scalper. The purpose is to increase popularity and attract attention. ”

Sure enough, after the man finished bidding, two people immediately withdrew from the competition.

"Two million six hundred and fifty thousand yuan." The lady held up the sign again.

"Very good, 2.65 million yuan, is there any bidder?" The auctioneer looked around at the previous bidders.

The man who joined later shouted, "Two million eight thousand yuan." ”

"Two million Hong Kong dollars." The lady shouted.

"Very good, 2.9 million yuan, 2.9 million yuan, is there any bidder?"

"I'll pay three million Hong Kong dollars." The man shouted.

"See, as soon as the new men appeared, four of them stopped holding up their cards. It was evident that the four were scalpers. It seems that the lady is a real buyer, it depends on whether she raises her card this time? Mr. Kim whispered.

"Three million 100,000 yuan." The lady's sign was raised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the price of this $50 missing coin has reached 3.1 million Hong Kong dollars at the moment. There are still no bids? The auctioneer asked passionately.

Then there was silence in reply.

If the latecomer hadn't raised the card, the wrong coin would have belonged to the lady.

"3.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and there are no Tibetan friends who have increased the price?" The auctioneer asked again.

"Three million Hong Kong dollars, one last question, is there any price increase?" The auctioneer raised the wooden hammer and struck it with a bang, "Deal." ”

"Hehe, scalpers are really indispensable, if there are 200,000 more, it will be doubled." Ou Yiran chuckled softly.

Mr. Jin gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "What Mr. Ou said is really discerning." ”

Ou Yiran said: "I just said it casually. ”

Yaliang smiled: "That's good, an ordinary missing coin can be auctioned for more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which shows that the enthusiasm of the market is indeed very high." ”

"Look, my collection is on the scene." Mr. Jin said happily.

Ou Yiran flipped to the corresponding catalogue and saw the description of Mr. Jin's collection as follows:

The Macau Double Error Banknote is the only commemorative banknote with a misprinted error, so it is very popular. Industry experts call it "Macau's double wrong banknote king." ”

In order to solemnly celebrate Macao's return to the motherland, the Bank of China and Banco Nacional Ultramarino jointly issued commemorative banknotes in 2001. The Bank of China issued the Macau 10 Yuan note with 10 serial notes, and the Banco Nacional Ultramarino issued the Macau 10 Yuan note with 10 consecutive notes, and the last three digits of the banknotes issued by the two different banks correspond to the same number. It is the first time that rare banknotes with the same number, serial number, wrong edition, and out-of-print banknotes are collected in the same volume, which is really rare in a century!

Wrong version one

In the full-page 10 yuan banknote issued by the Bank of China, there was a serious error in the standard font of the line name on the design of the Bank of China Tower, which wrote the traditional Chinese character "銀" into the simplified Chinese character "silver".

Wrong version two

The full-page 10 yuan note issued by Banco Nacional Ultramarino has a horizontal missing "圓" in traditional Chinese; The word "圓" on the banknote is not the sealed "shell", but the last horizontal opening "shell" missing.

As a text on a banknote, its seriousness speaks for itself. There was such a glaring typo, which is rare in the history of money printing in the world.
