Chapter 1621 Louis Vuitton
The big blue basket No. 7 was teleported over again. Zhou Zhi took out the things inside and placed the things next to him like Old John.
“Why don’t you open it and take a look?” Old John was quite curious about what was inside.
"It seems like no one here does this?" Zhou Zhi looked around.
"George, you don't act like a Lamb at all," Old John teased: "More like an OldGoat."
"Go away!" Zhou Zhi laughed and scolded: "You are the real lecher!"
Old goat is not a good word in English. It means old pervert, annoying old guy, and it means a real veteran. Then it should be the other two phrases-olddog or oldbird.
Next, a lot of luggage came out of the conveyor belt, but no such Chinese-style suitcases were seen anymore, and some suitcases that looked very exquisite in craftsmanship caused fierce competition.
So Zhou Zhi began to take revenge on the people who had raised his price before, playing the role of "catching the rabbit and the dog", and he really achieved revenge without spending the night.
And he was offering hard goods worth a thousand dollars a hand, which made the other party quite embarrassed.
But he didn't get it right either. There was an old model of Louis Vuitton that no one wanted to follow, and more than 4,000 US dollars was lost to him.
This brand started in 1837 and was first introduced to the United States in 1898. If it is an antique that is more than several decades old, there is still a lot of room for appreciation in the future.
But that is also the future. If we only look at the transaction price of this box now, Zhou Zhi will have lost at least thousands of dollars.
But Old John was very happy, at least he could get more than a hundred US dollars in commission, so this trip was not in vain.
This time, Zhou Zhi finally carried forward the spirit of CurlyCoat and unboxed it on the spot.
At this time, the auction was coming to an end, and everyone gathered around when they saw the unpacking.
There is also a canvas cover with the Louis Vuitton logo on the outside of the box, so in fact, everyone used to take blind photos based on the size of the box.
When the cover was opened, not to mention thoughtfulness, even the other experienced buyers looked at each other, saying that they had never seen this thing before.
But someone immediately said: "Young man, how much did you just offer? Four thousand two hundred dollars? I'm offering five thousand dollars now, how about you sell it to me?"
" Thank you, I don’t want to sell it, or I don’t want to sell it yet. I want Old John to open the box and take a look at it, and then we can reveal the answer.”
"I'll offer six thousand!"
"Seven thousand!"
"Ten thousand!" An old man who just made the last bid before Zhouzhi said: "Young man, you probably don't know this one. A box?”
“I really don’t know it,” Zhou Zhi said.
"Then let me tell you." The old man said: "This is the Stokowski Monogram customized suitcase named after the British conductor Leopold Stokowski after his wife."
"He was once the most famous orchestra conductor in the world. He had to go to many places for work. So he quietly customized a suitcase. No, it should be said to be a piece of furniture. When the suitcase was opened, it actually contained a folding desk. "Really?" Zhou Zhi felt even more curious.
“However, one of the biggest drawbacks of this kind of complex custom-made collection box is that the repair process is complicated.” The old man said: “Although the process is very special and the quantity in existence is relatively small, the market The price is not too high, unless it is the first box customized by Leopold Stokowski, the rest It’s only about five thousand to six thousand now.”
“Ten thousand dollars, the premium is already high. You can ask the old John next to you if what I said is true.”
"Leah is a well-known honest person in our circle." Old John introduced to Zhou Zhi: "I won't open this box either."
"Mr. Lia, do you think this is okay?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "If you only need this box, I can dispose of it for you at a price of seven thousand US dollars. The premise is that you open this box and let us take a look at it. At the same time, if there is anything else inside, it still belongs to me."
A satisfied smile appeared on Leah's wrinkled face, and she stretched out her hand to shake hands: "Deal."
If Zhou Zhi had known that the price of this box would soar to less than 400,000 pounds in thirty years, he might not have been so hasty, but now he knows nothing about the market for Western luxury antiques. , I really have no interest in this thing. I just raised the price and got it for fun. Now I can pay more according to the market price, and it can almost double when I change hands. I am very satisfied.
Lea may be an expert in this type of luxury luggage, and she quickly used a special tool she brought with her to unlock the lock.
Then a magical scene happened. Unlock the three brass locks on the lid, stand the box up, and open the door as you would a cabinet. You can find that there is a wooden board attached to the lid. .
Leah asked Old John to cooperate in lifting the board, and everyone discovered that there were folded wooden legs hidden under the board.
Open the wooden legs, and a small wooden board can be propped diagonally under the tabletop, forming a stable triangular connection, and the box becomes a tabletop and a chest of drawers.
The top of the chest of drawers, which is one side of the previous box, can now be lifted upwards and opened. Inside is a flat space with a white silk shirt folded very neatly. A tuxedo suit.
"Oh my God!" Leah whistled and touched a shiny collar button on the silk shirt: "Congratulations to you, George, and congratulations to myself."
" What do you say?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"This is an expensive gown for a conductor." Leah praised: "The neckline is made of pink blue Brazilian tourmaline and small diamonds, which is worth a lot of money."
"If it is auctioned If so, how much is it worth?" Zhou Zhi continued to ask.
Old George carefully took off the collar button and looked at it carefully: "God bless every CurlyCoat, George, this is a cuff worth forty thousand dollars, and if my guess is good, there should be another pair. Cufflinks to match.”
Leah fumbled toward the cuffs of her shirt. , turned out two small squares, which are also jewelry with white gold base and pink and blue tourmaline inlaid with diamonds: "Here, a set is at least 70,000 US dollars."
Everyone around them started to make noises. Westerners But regardless of the Oriental's tendency to keep his wealth secret, cheers, whistles, and applause suddenly resounded throughout the auction house.
"So, this box..." Zhou Zhi suddenly thought of why Leah wanted to congratulate him and herself.
“Yes, if the owner of this suitcase owns this command uniform, then this is the world’s first Stokowski Monogram suitcase, a customized original!”
This time it’s thoughtfulness’ turn Stretching out his hand: "Congratulations, Mr. Leah."
