The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Zhang Nan wanted to sleep, and the two women wanted to sleep again after activities, but in the end no one was able to do so because Nicole answered the phone. August 1? Chinese? W≥W≠W≤. ≥8≤1=Z=W. COM

Nearly 12 o'clock, Zhang Nan was still taking a shower, trying to get rid of the sour and vinegar smell on his body, but Nicole walked into the bathroom.

I thought the beauty wanted something romantic, but Nicole said as soon as she came in: "I just received a call from the company. Sotheby's will have an auction in New York next week."

Zhang Nan frowned and was naked-asking: "Want to leave early?"

I thought it was Sotheby’s that they had acquired some important Chinese cultural relics. It would not be good to break the original plan: after New Year’s Eve, I had to stay at home for two more days and then go to the capital. This was all arranged.

Even Jiang Aihua had already notified and booked the entire building in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

"No." Nicole said with a smile: "It's not an antique, it's a pear-shaped yellow diamond. Didn't you say that if there are top diamonds and rubies in the world in the auction house, you will also be notified. I will be here before I come to China. Leave a word in the company.

The professional auction commission company that we have been related to will give us a copy of information every once in a while. The top art and jewelry auction information in the United States and even the world will be available, or it has been professionally screened in advance. "

Zhang Nan said this: I am now a rich man, almost reaching the top level. If there are not a few top diamonds and rubies to decorate the facade, it would seem like a shortcoming.

Besides, when your own woman attends some important occasions, she can't be too shabby. It's not - the actual operator of a financial investment company that has a net worth of more than 100 million U.S. dollars must also be a little worthy of decoration.

I asked Nicole and Jenny to go to several major jewelers in New York to choose for themselves, and each of them bought hundreds of thousands of ornaments for themselves.

Already very high-end, but not the top-notch!

If you want top-quality goods, you have to wait for the opportunity. The best jewellery is generally not available at the counter, and it is easy to be taken advantage of if you have one.

There were several jewelry auctions in New York before Christmas, but there was a ring with a starting price of 30,000. Nicole and Jenny didn’t like its style. The other diamonds and ruby ​​necklaces with a price of more than one million were high, but in fact, Not much more conspicuous than the original jewelry of the two.

In addition, the two women are not the kind of people who like to show off. After looking at the information of a few auctions, the commissioning company was not allowed to sell.

As for the art auctions, the two women did not participate either: neither in New York nor time.

Then why are there no sapphires and emeralds in Zhang Nan's list?

personal reasons.

This collection of top diamonds and rubies, Zhang Nan doesn't want to add value at all, he is just taking care of it.

Of course, in the 1980s, the top jewellery was eaten. Although this investment efficiency is not as good as investing in art, it will definitely increase in value. It is much higher than the income of depositing banks!

It is even more profitable than buying high-performance stocks of large companies. It is not impossible that you can double it tenfold in ten years.

As for why there are no two top gems like sapphire and emerald, it's because Zhang Nan doesn't have a lot of cold with blue, and his interest is average: his wife had a diamond ring and a ruby ​​ring in his previous life, but Zhang Nan didn't buy blue. Treasure ring.

The more important point is that sapphires were misunderstood in the eyes of Huaxia people, and they were often mistaken for being inferior to rubies. Zhang Nan was actually misled by this relatively wrong view: 20 years later, China’s market was full of domestic products, Low price sapphire specially processed by heat treatment.

These problematic sapphires look good, but they have no value-holding function at all, which makes most Chinese people subconsciously think that sapphires are not high-grade!

In fact, this view is wrong. The vast majority of Chinese people, including Zhang Nan, have never come into contact with real high-grade sapphires-they are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!

For their own benefit, some Chinese people have completely destroyed the Chinese sapphire market. In the end, the common people did not want to buy it. Anyway, buying other gems is the same; and the instigators end up almost to the level of self-entertainment and suffer the consequences. !

Just like jade, in the low-end market, the reprocessed goods B and C were played off after 20 years: before he was reborn, friends often asked Zhang Nan what jade to buy.

"Buy a bracelet for your wife?"

"Um."

"What grade do you buy?"

"Ten thousand or twenty thousand."

At this time, Zhang Nan will be very rude to his friends: "Then buy pure gold bracelets, this is enough money, but also keep the value. Don't go to big shopping malls and big gold shops, where the store rent and sales staff are more expensive than the purchase price. Seventy to eighty yuan a gram.

I would like to introduce you to the familiar Xiaojinlou. You can earn up to 3o per gram of other people, the same goods and brands, and the goods purchased from the same place.

I won’t introduce you to the cheaper jade bracelet. If you buy it for ten thousand, I guarantee you won’t sell it for two thousand!

Don't buy jade bracelets for less than a hundred thousand dollars, it's not very interesting!

If you plan a 50,000 yuan, I will help you find an old Hetian jade bracelet. The **** is of decent quality. Don’t buy the new 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Even if I show it to you, it is basically a mountain material.

If there are ten thousand pieces of new Hetian jade bracelets, the place of origin is within 100 kilometers of Hetian, even if it is conscientious to sell jade! "

It hurts people, isn't it, the fact is like this: Some crooked guys in the jade industry have taken off the low-end mass market of their industry by themselves. Zhang Nan's words of conscience to his friends.

Jade bracelets, more than a hundred or two hundred thousand are mid-range goods, high-end bracelets have long been millions!

Those with a few hundred dollars, transparency and color are good. In the early 90s, you can buy genuine and good products at this price. After the 21st century, they will be at this price. You are not afraid of chemical toxins and legendary radiation. !

…

However, this Nan doesn't have a cold with Blue. If he is not moved, it is estimated that even a Sapphire of the "Heart of the Sea" level will not feel much in front of him.

As for emeralds...

Haha, Zhang Nan is a Chinese man in his bones. Although two years later, he often goes to the black jade status, but now in the next few years, let alone go to Myanmar, you can find the emperor green in Ruili in a year or two. Emerald!

Westerners love emeralds, and Chinese people absolutely choose emeralds for green stones.

Zhang Nan’s hometown of Yanxian later came out with a king of jade, but his base is in Shanghai: the brand of "Zhang Tiejun Jewelry" may not be particularly well-known in other categories in the jewelry industry, but don’t say it in terms of jade. Huaxia is so famous that it is a famous brand even in Chinese circles all over the world!

Especially for this brand of medium and high-end jade products, many wealthy Chinese from abroad will make a special trip to Shanghai to buy them: the quality is guaranteed.

Zhang Nan and him knew each other, although they weren't the kind that had a particularly good relationship, but they were quite familiar.

Since I was in Zhang Tiejun, I have seen tens of millions or even tens of millions of emperor full green jade bracelets. The amazing beauty cannot be fully described in words!

In fact, let alone bracelets, many times even a top-quality jade ring noodle can be intriguing...

Some people like to bet on stone when playing jade, but Zhang Nan did not bet on stone before he was born again, because he didn't know how to bet on stone at all!

Moreover, I think my gambling luck has been horrible, and I will definitely lose my blood when I touch that one!

Collectors and merchants who really play antiques will definitely draw a clear line between gambling on rocks, and at most they will spend a small amount of money to have fun.

Because playing antiques must not bring a little bit of "gambling" in nature: if you play this game with a little "gambling", then this person is either a stick or a crazy!

Antiques must be 100% accurate before starting, relying on "gambling"?

You still don't play, or you will definitely lose and you won't even know your mother!

Not betting on stones does not mean that Zhang Nan doesn't like jade: I thought about it a long time ago, and then go to Ruili or go directly to Myanmar. I don't understand the gambling materials, so it's okay to buy some plain materials.

It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about betting on the stone. It's obvious that Zhang Nan will not distract you, at least aBc will definitely not be mistaken, and the first shipment price can also be touched.

Besides, I heard Jiang Aihua said that there are old-fashioned jadeite masters in the capital, and the handicraft factory is said to have: especially two masters who have just retired two years ago are said to be known as "hot eyes and golden eyes, see-through eyes".

If you really want to go to Myanmar to play a circle, pull on that brother, and hire one or two palm-eyed masters, you won't lose to your grandma's house.

Just let professional people do the professional things, and just "play" on the side happily.

…

"How old?"

"The largest yellow diamond in the world so far is called'unmatched', weighing 4o7.48 carats, pear-shaped cut, and very pure."

After 4oo carats, that is 8o grams!

Giant diamond! Grade giant diamond!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan quickly dried himself, putting on his clothes and asked: "How much is the estimate?"

"The starting price is 80 million U.S. dollars, and the auction house and industry insiders estimate that the final price is between 100 million and 120,000 U.S. dollars. If you want to see the information, you can send it by air tomorrow."

"No color information is needed, let them send the fax."

This entered the working mode, and Nicole immediately went to the study, where there was a fax machine. I dialed the phone in the United States again, and within a few minutes, several textual materials and several black and white photos came over.

Zhang Nan looked at the information and found that this huge diamond was produced in Zaire and was cut and polished by the top diamond processors in Antwerp, Belgium. It took two years from design to final completion!

After reading the information, this is something in my mind.

Both women are waiting in the study for Zhang Nan’s decision. Women have an innate hobby for top jewellery, and they didn’t even think about the question of who should wear a diamond: or if you use it for a while, then Owned to me for two months?

Fortunately, the two of Nicole were not cheesy enough to discuss the diamond in front of their man, so they looked at Zhang Nan to read the information.

Putting down the fax photo in his hand, he took a look at the slightly expectant eyes of the two women.

"What do you want?"

Now even Nicole and Jenny, who had seen billions of dollars in funds, were embarrassed and nodded.

"If you like it, then buy it." Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two women, Zhang Nan added: "Don't be too happy, this diamond does not have a matching necklace yet. Let the top jewelry design company in New York Design and customize the entire necklace.

Moreover, you two can only wear this diamond, and I want to give it away as a gift.

In the future, you will tell me what other diamonds you see, and buy those that are suitable. "

In the first half of this period, the two beauties were still happy, and couldn't figure it out in the middle, even if they were compensated in the end, they couldn't be happy.

"Farewell woman?"

Nicole's two are not so superficial, and they both said that they can be worn, so they are not other women.

Jenny asked weakly: "Who is it for?"

Zhang Nan’s face showed a warm smile like spring sunshine, but the focus of his eyes was a little problematic, “Remember the fairy-tale villa I took you to see in Shanghai? This diamond will also belong to the same person.”

"Mahler Villa, who is it for?"

I took two American women there because I needed to hire the world's top Nordic castle restoration designer, so I wanted Nicole to have a general impression with Jenny.

Zhang Nan showed a strange expression and said, "My daughter."

"Why didn't we see, with her...?"

Unlike a Chinese woman, Nicole and Jenny did not suddenly discover the hysteria that their man had a daughter before, and thought that the child was living with her mother.

It’s not surprising that you’re a teenager when you’re a father, and it’s not uncommon in the United States: many states can get married at the age of 16, and states such as Idaho, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Washington allow boys over the age of 14. Girls who reach the age of 12 get married—it's not surprising that it is common to have children out of wedlock.

But now that I'm talking about this, Nicole also feels that I need to ask one more question: "The child lives with her mother?"

Zhang Nan's thinking seemed a little erratic, and he replied: "Yes, it's a pity that they are not in this world."

After speaking, I realized that my eyes focused successfully. I saw that Nicole and Jenny looked at me with maternal expressions, and then I felt that I had missed the words.

"Don't talk about it, these are all for my future daughter."

After thinking about it, he said, "I estimate that 120,000 won't be able to stop it, so let the agent know that it will be capped at 200,000 yuan."

Zhang Nan knew the diamond: it was finally sold for 1.28 million US dollars in 1988. This time, with his own participation, it is estimated that the price will rise.

He wanted this diamond because his daughter also has a similar one: crystal glass crafts, and the daughter’s treasure, which is simply an "unparalleled" imitation.

My daughter called it "stars".

As for the agent's appearance, it is a small tacit understanding between the rich-if you face to face with gongs and drums, and drums and drums, sometimes women will lose their minds for the jewelry and eventually call out an extremely outrageous price!

If that happens, let's not talk about spending the wrong money for a piece of jewelry, the rich people who participate in the auction may also get revenge for a thing, and it is impossible to commit it!

The rich and powerful will try to avoid this situation.

As for the auction price, as long as the client gives the final cap price, the agent will never waste a cent of the client—because the commission paid by such special agents is calculated inversely with the final transaction price!

The higher the transaction price, the lower the commission!

With the reserve price, plus a set of slightly more complicated commission calculation methods, some agents go to their wits to fight psychological warfare on the auction floor.

With a cap of 20 million US dollars, it is no problem to win the diamond: less than the cash that can be collected in a short period of time, few people in the United States can compare with Zhang Nan.

Few people are willing to buy diamonds for tens of millions of dollars.

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, UU reading www.uukanshu.com suddenly felt uneasy.

"That's it, you guys go to bed early, I'll go for a walk outside."

Nicole and Jenny stopped talking, but in the end no one said: In another world-it would be best not to disturb him.

As soon as I walked into the yard, the cold wind on my face felt a little bit cold, and I rubbed my face.

Alyosha didn't know where he came out.

"Not with the kids?"

"I'm on duty with Karimi at night."

"The thief did not dare to come, and the thief Jiang Yang was the same. Those anti-theft alarms were not in white."

"The squad leader said, the same rules as the manor in the United States."

"Go, call Karimi and go outside for a walk."

Alyosha knew that the boss was nervous again tonight.
