MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 110 general manager
Li Xiaoshuai just arrived home, and Charlton, the general manager of Christie, also arrived with an expert. As soon as he entered the door, Charlton said: "Where is the thing, I want to see it."
Li Xiaoshuai was sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed and drinking tea with a vacuum cup in his hand. He pointed to the four treasures on the coffee table in the living room and said, "These are all just picked up today, you can take them yourself."
Charlton also seemed to be knowledgeable, his eyes swept back and forth on the coffee table twice, and his expression became more and more excited. He bowed slightly towards Li Xiaoshuai: "That would be rude."
Then he himself and the appraiser started busy.
The appraiser took the blue-and-white pottery from Turkey, and he took the pair of small jars with gilt flowers and turned them over and over to check.
The more I looked at it, the more satisfied I became, and I thought that today was the right time. Although this pair of small jars used by Russian nobles in the 18th century, although not of great value, it is enough to be eligible for auction.
Then he picked up the saber on the coffee table, and at a glance he saw the gold handle on the saber and the gems inlaid on the scabbard. He immediately knew that the sword was not low-level, but it was actually a real thing.
This is another thing that is eligible to be photographed, and Charlton's heart is sweeter than honey.
Now the competition is fierce, business is not easy to do, and he himself is walking on thin ice, trembling with fear. Now there are so many little things, which are most suitable for the newly rich aristocrats in Russia.
Well, if the blue-and-white jar produced in the Middle East is also genuine, it will be even better. Others entrust their own requests for many days, and they can do it.
After a while, the appraiser put down the blue-and-white pottery in his hand and said that this is a very rare piece produced in the small town of Avanos, Turkey. It is an authentic product in the 14th century. It is a beautiful flower pot and is well preserved. It can be said that it is a masterpiece.
If Mr. Li is willing to entrust it to us, it is no problem to sell it for 1 million US dollars.
Charlton was extremely satisfied, and said that the task entrusted to me by the big Middle East family seemed to be completed soon. He made an excuse to say that he still wanted to talk to Li Xiaoshuai about the entrustment, and drove the appraiser away.
"Mr. Li, the four antiques you have here, except the lacquer plate, are all eligible for auction. But I have a request, please don't let this blue-and-white pottery be auctioned."
"Well, how do you say that?" Li Xiaoshuai put down the teacup in his hand, and Frank and Bo Yang, who were sitting with him, were also confused.
Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart that the general manager of a world-renowned auction house came to my house; after seeing the lot, he even encouraged me to say no to the auction. There must be a reason for this.
He stretched out his hand: "Please speak."
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your understanding," Charlton explained. Last year, he accepted a request from an oil prince in the Middle East. He wanted to open a museum in his hometown, but unfortunately there were not many exhibits on hand, so he found him. 's head came up.
Li Xiaoshuai understood, "You mean, let me sell this blue-and-white pottery to the prince of oil you said?"
"That's right, I'll never let you suffer. I'm offering a price 20% higher than the auction price, $1.2 million, what do you think."
Then the guy started babbling about the benefits of this operation, that is: the 1.2 million is the actual price, and the auction house must be paid a lot of commission for the auction. It is equal to 30% higher than the previous shot.
Li Xiaoshuai thought about it, even if this blue-and-white pottery jar is a big auction, the price will be more than one million yuan. After deducting the commission, it is basically the same as the current price. If it is auctioned for 1 million yuan, it would be better to give it to Charles directly. pause.
Even if you can cut some commissions, you can't get to $120 in the end.
It would be a fool not to take advantage of it, Li Xiaoshuai simply agreed, "Okay, give the money now, and you take the things."
"no problem."
Charlton asked Li Xiaoshuai for a bank account, and then he had to call his prince in the Middle East, saying that he had found a substantial exhibit that he wanted, and it cost 1.2 million US dollars, and the money was quickly transferred there. come over.
When Li Xiaoshuai received the money, the transaction was completed.
At this time, his mother Xia Huifang just got off work. She saw that there were guests at home~www.novelbuddy.com~ There were antiques on the table, so she knew that her son had picked up a treasure again today, and had a few words with Charlton, I just avoided the excuse of cooking.
Charlton began to encourage Li Xiaoshuai to bring back the gilt and silver jar and the saber.
Li Xiaoshuai said that the sword has been seen by others, and the value of the small jar is not great. He wants to put it on the hardwood at home as an accessory, so he does not sell it.
"There is still hardwood furniture in his house?" Charlton's heart moved again. He said apologetically again; "Can you tell me who ordered this sword?"
"Maybe you know a man named Erickson. This is a collector who likes to collect war items."
Charlton said with a smile, it turns out you were talking about him, I know him. He and Stephen Morgan are good friends. Since he wants it, I won't force it.
Li Xiaoshuai said it was right, it was him, and he would come over if he was very big.
"I heard that you still have hardwood furniture at home, can you give me two pieces to add some luster to my auction, you know, the rich people of Rabbit Country are very fond of these," Charlton said shyly.
Li Xiaoshuai waved his hand, this is impossible, I have now bought a big house, all these furniture are needed, how can it be put up for auction, my family is not short of money.
Charlton thinks about it, the Li family is really not short of money. He took a pair of Titian's "Paul III" from his family last time, and the estimated value is 5 million US dollars.
Today, I transferred another $1.2 million to him. When Erickson comes over, he will send him money again. Mr. Li is really short of money.
But when he thought in his heart that the rabbits from the Li family were the best at hiding things, and it was estimated that he also had a lot of good things in his family, he felt itchy, but he couldn't do anything about it.
As soon as we left here, Erickson arrived. . . . . .
