My Ranch

Phillips, the auction house founded in 1796, is also a 100-year-old store, but it is only a few hundred years old, far behind Sotheby’s and Christie. It was originally not qualified for mention on equal terms.

In Europe and the United States, it is estimated that it can only be regarded as a 2-stream peak auction house, but everything is different in 1999. In November 1999, this auction house was a famous luxury brand ‘ Ouch Hey’s boss bought it for 11 pounds and merged into the world’s largest luxury goods group Ouch Hey.

Then it took advantage of the scandals in the top two auction houses and invested huge amounts of money in Phillips. He didn’t focus on antiques. He knew that even if he competed again, he could not compete with those two.

So his main projects are Impressionist oil painting works, as well as contemporary art and furniture.

Jiang Hai’s main goal is this! After making a phone call at night and contacting his office here on 2nd day, Jiang Hai was considered a sighed in relief, and everything had to wait for tomorrow.

Early in the morning on the 2nd day, he came to Phillips’ office with a backpack.

“Hello, what can I do for you?” When he walked into the office, a front desk asked him.

“Oh, hello, I called yesterday to make an appointment. I surname Jiang.” Nodded to the girl at the front desk.

“Is Mr. Jiang? Your appointment time is 9 am. It’s almost time. I’ll take you to the third meeting room and wait for a while. I’ll call manager Zhang down.” Hearing-Jiang Hai said, the girl laughed first. Nodded, and then led Jiang Hai to a VIP room, where he added a cup of tea to Jiang Hai, and then left again. Not long after, a man in a suit came in from outside, this person looks 3 He was about three years old, but he was very capable. He smiled when he saw Jiang Hai.

“Is Mr. Jiang? I’m the manager at the Phillips auction house Beijing. I’m surnamed Zhang. Is there anything I can do for you?” Shake hands with Jiang Hai first, and the middle age person asked with a smile.

“That’s it. I have a group of gems. I want to ask you to identify them.” When shaking hands with this person, Jiang Hai also explained his own time. Hearing is to identify things. This person is not surprised.

After all, when you come here, you do n’t come to the appraisal, you come to the auction, and even if you come to the auction, you will appraise it before the auction. Jiang Hai ’s statement seems to be normal.

“This is naturally possible, but it is not easy for us to operate the auction house. If you are appraised, you need to charge a certain fee.” And Jiang Hai sat on the two sides of the coffee table, manager Zhang said with a smile.

“I know this, I don’t know what the charging standards are.” Gentlely nodded, Jiang Hai had already inquired before coming, and the auction house appraisal, of course, they charge fees. In fact, they mainly earn this money As for the auction, that is to open for 3 years and open for eating for 3 years.

“Our auction house appraisal fee is basically two kinds. One is to charge a 2% handling fee as appraisal fee according to the appraisal thing. If it is some collectibles worth several thousand or several ten thousand, you can choose this way. , The 1 is a fixed appraisal fee, the same thing 1000 10000. “Looking at Jiang Hai, the manager said with a smile.

“This way, then I choose to fix it!” After thinking about it, although Jiang Hai did not know the value of these things on him, but if there is a treasure, the price is more than 10000, and the Second Type is worth more than the First Type. He had confidence in his gems. Seeing that Jiang Hai had already chosen, manager Zhang didn’t say much, so he went out and invited 200,000 people to come in.

One of these two people is a middle age person, which seems to be an expert, and another youngster is probably an apprentice, who came to learn knowledge and deliver things. After the two of them came in, they briefly introduced them. Jiang Hai also took himself out of the hole. The stone obtained inside was taken out.

In the cave, he obtained a total of 213 unbreakable stones. All of the stones were judged to be inadequate. He could only see that the stones were worthless, but he could only sell one batch and re-identify.

He is reluctant to grow flowers with snake scales now. If he wants to come to these stones, it will always be worth the appraisal money.

Two people prepared the instrument, Jiang Hai also took out some stones and put them on the coffee table. Watching them start to identify.

“This is a natural crystal. It’s not worth it. It’s a big piece, it’s about 3500 yuan.” But soon, this person reads the first ‘gem’. Hearing this person, Jiang Hai sighed, he also I know, it may have been valuable before, but since it can be artificially made, the price of natural crystal has not been high. If you do n’t look at the purity of this piece, it may not be worth 3000 5.

“It looks like I’m a little too optimistic.” He muttered in his heart, and at the same time put away all the similar products on the table. Since they are all crystals, there is no need to identify them.

The appraiser over there doesn’t care too much, after all, there are too many gems and too many laymen, so there is no need to pit such money.

After a dozen appraisals, all of them were natural crystals. Jiang Hai was already a little helpless, but fortunately, the price of these crystals was not lower than 2 1000, which was regarded as the appraisal fee.

“Huh?” But just when Jiang Hai was about to numb, suddenly the appraiser snorted and looked at the gem in his hand. This time he played with it for about ten minutes before he lifted it. Head, looked towards Jiang Hai.

“Your luck is good. This piece is not a natural crystal, but a natural blue gem. It has a size of about ten carats and is worth 1.2 million.” Hearing appraiser, Jiang Hai took a moment, and this time the identification fee came out.

After thinking about it, he put those crystals back into his own bag, and the rest were not sure. A total of 100 thirty two pieces were taken out and piled up next to each other. Looking at the workload, appraiser I couldn’t help laughing, but he didn’t say anything, because that’s what he did, and what he earned was a commission in this regard.

Identified a piece of gem 2 with 1000 pieces, and his commission was 1000 5. Jiang Hai was also adding money to him.

It may be because of the relationship between this blue gem that makes the appraiser look more carefully, but the crystal is crystal. If you don’t look carefully, you can think of it as a gem. There are 121 pieces in the remaining gems of Jiang Hai. They are all natural crystals.

Basically, the big ones are all natural crystals, and the rest are gems, all of which are relatively small.

In a blink of an eye, appraiser has seen 130 pieces, except for 2 pieces that have not been seen, only 9 pieces are gems.

The most valuable piece is the red gem of 12.37carat, valued at 23010000.

There are 2 smaller red gems, which together can sell for about 500,000.

The remaining 3 emeralds add up to approximately 1,6 million.

The two blue gems add up to a value of 2, which adds up to 400,000 million when originally identified at at first.

The remaining three gems, two aquamarine and a golden green, are all 3 carat, which is about ten grams.

Together, they can sell for about 1,000,000, which means that the total value of these stones is 7,000,000 RMB.

Although there is a big gap between Jiang Hai’s imagination of 10000000 and 100000000, 7,000,000 is pretty good.

While comforting myself in my heart, this trip is worth it. The appraiser over there has already judged things almost.

One of the last two identified was a natural crystal, worth a few thousand dollars, but the last one, when looking at it, the eyes of this appraiser suddenly turned green …

Looking at this stone, he has been watching, has been watching, for almost half an hour, after half an hour, he looked towards the assistant around him and told him what machine to take.

Soon, youngster returned, still holding a lot of machines, and appraiser started the trial of each and everyone.

About an hour and a half later, appraiser took the gem and stopped talking, just sitting there.

“Uh, is there a problem?” Jiang Hai asked strangely, seeing the appearance of the appraiser.

“No problem, but if nothing else, Mr. Jiang, maybe you are about to send it.” Looking at the pink 4 prismatic gem with the size of 6 thumbs and fingernails, appraiser’s eyes It’s all glowing inside.

“Posted it? Uh, I did count it as a small post, after all, those gems are worth more than 700 and 10000.” I laughed at myself, in a sense, I did post it.

“No, there is this gem. The value of your gems just now is about the same as the stones on the roadside.” Hearing-Jiang Hai said, Appraiser’s eyes started to shine, and he said excitedly to Jiang Hai.

“You this stone, I can tell you 99% point 9 9 that this should be a pink diamond, the craftsmanship of 4 c is the ultimate, the net weight is 31.6carat, do you know the price of this diamond? Each carat The transaction price is 38 10000 USD, “said the appraiser. At this moment, it seemed that he was reluctant to let this pink diamond disappear from his eyes, and said earnestly.

“$ 380,000, a carat? Then 31: 6 is 12 million, USD?” Hearing appraiser, Jiang Hai’s mind suddenly seemed to be hammered, a little confusing, but the appraiser didn’t seem to be ready to let it go. he.

“No, more than that, your pink diamond is a complete pink diamond, a complete pink diamond of 31.6carat. At least 20 times the price!”

“His … I seem to be a little bit confused, wait, don’t talk to me, I’ll be quiet …”
