Chapter 48 Sky-high price mother-of-pearl jewelry box
In order to reassure Master Dong, Mr. He asked He Liangcong to directly book the best suite at the Haitian Hotel, the best in Wanxian County, and then asked He Liangcong to send Xiao Yingchun home to pick up her things.
It was already twelve o'clock when Xiao Yingchun brought the things over...
Xiao Yingchun said she was tired of doing business while being a thief.
Fortunately, she sent a message to Dai Hengxin on the way and asked, "What if Master Dong wants to buy it?"
Dai Hengxin replied directly to her: "If he is willing to buy it, you can sell it directly."
Master Dong's connections in the circle are unparalleled. As long as he dares to accept them, there will be no problem.
The most sensitive thing in this circle is the things dug up by tomb robbers.
As long as it doesn't come from a grave, well-connected collectors aren't too afraid.
They naturally have their own way of identifying whether something came from a tomb.
Xiao Yingchun was relieved.
By the time we arrived at the hotel suite, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
As soon as Xiao Yingchun entered the room, several people looked at her, and then the next second their eyes fell on the black gym bag Xiao Yingchun was carrying.
This was what Dai Hengxin gave to him last time.
The old man sitting on the sofa in the middle has white hair and a smiling face. He looks very easy-going. He must be Master Dong.
Mr. He stood up first and came over to introduce: "This is Xiao Yingchun, a partner of my Xiao Cong's auction company. He is also the provider of the collection being auctioned tonight."
Master Dong stood up and reached out his hand: "Miss Xiao, I'm sorry for asking you to make a trip so late."
Being watched by so many people, Xiao Yingchun was inexplicably nervous. She laughed dryly and carefully placed her bag on the ground: "Your coming is your support for our company and me. I can't thank you enough."
The zipper was opened and the box was taken out. Xiao Yingchun opened the box and pushed it carefully: "Can you take a look?"
A dazzling mother-of-pearl jewelry box was presented in front of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath!
This is so beautiful!
Master Dong also carefully began to identify it.
I used the light and the magnifying glass to look not only at the outside, but also at the inside.
After wishing to see every corner, Master Dong frowned slightly: "Everything is right, but there is one thing I want to ask Miss Xiao for advice."
"Please tell me."
"The patina of this mother-of-pearl box seems to be often played and used, but the patina of this patina is slightly less dated... What is the reason for this?"
Xiao Yingchun blinked: "I don't know either."
"Then where does this mother-of-pearl box come from? Can Miss Xiao tell me?"
Xiao Yingchun blinked again: "...it was given by my friend."
Master Dong: "..."
Others present: "..."
Who would give such an expensive thing as a gift to a friend? !
Can I have a friend like this?
After looking at each other, everyone silently speculated: Maybe it’s a boyfriend? !
This guy is really willing to spend money to pick up girls!
Master Dong pointed to a new scratch inside the box: "This scratch seems to be newly made. What's going on?"
When talking about this, Xiao Yingchun was a little embarrassed: "I didn't know the goods before. When my friend gave me this box, it contained some jewelry..."
Before anyone could say anything else, Xiao Yingchun added: "It's the gold and gem-set jewelry that were auctioned today."
Everyone: "..."
So this jewelry box really makes the best use of everything. When it was given to Xiao Yingchun, there was really jewelry in it!
And they are all antiques...
"I wonder who this friend from Miss Xiao is?" Master Dong became even more curious.
The person who can easily give away such a treasure-level antique box and a box of antique jewelry cannot be unknown.
Xiao Yingchun replied simply: "It is not convenient to disclose this."
Everyone: "..."
In desperation, everyone's attention was once again focused on this mother-of-pearl and agarwood jewelry box inlaid with gold and silver filigree.
This thing is so good that it makes people salivate just looking at it.
You must know that agarwood is extremely rare, not to mention that the several sides of this box are not made of small boards, but are actually made of a whole side of agarwood with mortise and tenon joints. Such precious materials are simply not available in modern times.
What's more, the long and thick fragrance is completely unmatched by new items.
Finally, Master Dong spoke: "Can Miss Xiao part with this collection?"
This is what I like and want to buy.
Xiao Yingchun nodded decisively: "Okay."
"I wonder how much Miss Xiao wants to sell it for?"
Xiao Yingchun once again said simply and neatly: "You have the final say."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment.
No one expected Xiao Yingchun to be so cheerful.
But there is no fool here, everyone knows that this will put pressure on Master Dong.
As a well-known collector in China, Master Dong is well-known in the industry for his good manners: he never deliberately deceives and lowers the price by relying on his own knowledge and the other party's layman.
Master Dong’s bid must be a conscientious price.
Master Dong did not shirk anymore. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.
“There have been several mother-of-pearl jewelry boxes in the auction house before, but they are not as big as this one, nor as exquisitely crafted as this one, and of course they are not agarwood. The material...the auction price at that time was 20 million. "
"If yours goes up for auction, the price will definitely be more than 20 million, but given the current situation in the country, it may not be convenient for you to go up for auction..."
Xiao Yingchun nodded to express understanding.
It is too precious. If someone is jealous and reports it, it will be very difficult to explain the source clearly.
Therefore, Master Dong finally looked at Xiao Yingchun: "I will pay 25 million for this collection. Are you willing to give it to me?"
Xiao Yingchun once again showed his decisive side: "Okay."
Everyone: "!!!"
More than 20 million, without hesitation or bargaining, I agreed directly.
But she agreed readily, but there was no look of excitement or surprise on her face.
It's as if this box only sold for 2,500 yuan.
This was the first time they had seen such a calm young girl.
Even He Liangcong, a young man who often picks up girls in bars and KTVs, has given many young girls good things, but he has never seen him so calm.
Everyone came to the same conclusion: this girl is not simple.
Master Dong smiled and nodded, looking deeply at Xiao Yingchun: "Miss Xiao, if you have anything good, you can call me."
With that said, Master Dong handed Xiao Yingchun a business card.
There are very few people who still use business cards these days.
Xiao Yingchun took it with both hands. There was only a name and a phone number on the black gold-gilded business card.
Dong Chunfeng.
Telephone:……
"Thank you, Master Dong. If there is anything good, I will look for you."
Xiao Yingchun smiled and agreed.
The box was sold for such a high price, plus the previous auction proceeds, it was worth tens of millions!
Xiao Yingchun feels that she no longer has to sell antiques recently.
We have money!
Asking for collection.
Asking for monthly pass.
Thank you caroletu for your continued rewards.
