Chapter 94 Auction of Gold and Silver Ingots
After careful inspection, he asked William to bring a small electronic scale and weighed it carefully. Then he nodded and put away his glasses and magnifying glass, and also motioned to William to take away the small electronic scale.
After William left, Wang Chongshan looked serious: "Madam, do you know the origin and value of this silver ingot?"
Xiao Yingchun shook his head.
Wang Chongshan: "Can you tell me how this silver ingot came into your hands?"
Xiao Yingchun shook his head again.
"What's your psychological price point? To be honest, most of the collectors of this thing are in China."
When Wang Chongshan asked, his expression was so serious that Xiao Yingchun also became serious: "Will selling in the UK affect the price?"
Ordinary silver ingots can definitely be sold in China, but she doesn't want to sell things through Dai Hengxin anymore.
She didn't want to contact other pawnshops, for fear that if she wasn't careful, she would provoke Liu Xiaomei and attract a robber.
Wang Chongshan: "..."
Xiao Yingchun asked so honestly that Wang Chongshan had to stop talking, and he turned to the next topic.
"Madam, do you want to sell it directly to our auction house? Or do you want to put it up for auction?"
Xiao Yingchun thought for a while: "Let's go to the auction."
The main problem is that she wants to know how much this silver ingot is worth. After all, there is an identical fifty-tael silver ingot in her cashier system space...
If she needs it, Fu Chenan can get her dozens of identical fifty-tael silver ingots.
You should know how much your things are worth, right?
After confirming Xiao Yingchun’s demands, Wang Chongshan also became straightforward.
"Although your fifty-tael silver ingot has never appeared on the market or at major auctions, I am convinced that it is a genuine ancient silver ingot."
"The period is between the Tang and Song Dynasties. I judge that it should be from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period."
"If you are willing to trust us, you can entrust us to conduct an auction. There will be an auction of ancient Chinese art in exactly one week."
"During this period, you can also take a look at other lots in our auction house, and you can also walk around London and wait for the auction to start..."
Xiao Yingchun thought for a while and agreed quickly.
Wang Chongshan had someone send him the auction contract, and Xiao Yingchun signed the contract and walked out of the Willy's Auction House with Wang Yongjun.
"Is this Willy's Auction House trustworthy?"
In a foreign country, Xiao Yingchun felt a little uneasy after handing a silver ingot to the auction house where he met for the first time.
Wang Yongjun laughed: "You must know the top three auction houses in the world. Although Willis Auction House is not ranked among the top three, it is still an established auction house..."
Wang Yongjun talked about the history of Willy's Auction House. This auction house actually has a history of nearly a hundred years.
However, in recent years, several other auction houses have developed very fast, and Willy has been surpassed by others.
But in terms of credibility, several major auction houses are very good.
No one would throw down their sign for something like this.
Xiao Yingchun was moved when she heard this: "You said I should go to them again and auction more things, is that okay?"
Wang Yongjun took a deep look at Xiao Yingchun and replied cautiously: "If you only look at it from the perspective of credibility, it can be done."
Xiao Yingchun was relieved.
She turned around and walked back to Willy's Auction Walk...
Wang Yongjun was stunned and quickly followed.
In Willie's Auction House, several ancient coin experts were pricing fifty taels of silver ingots.
They have no dispute over authenticity. What they are now arguing about is the appropriate starting price.
Wang Chongshan meant to start bidding at 20,000 pounds, but the other two thought they could try to start bidding at 25,000 pounds...
Before the decision was made, I suddenly heard from William in front that the lady just now came again, saying that she still had something to auction, and she also wanted to find Wang Chongshan.
Wang Chongshan was stunned for a moment, looked at each other with the other two ancient coin experts, and then turned around and went to the previous room.
"Madam, what else can I serve you?" Wang Chongshan looked at Xiao Yingchun with a complicated expression.
Xiao Yingchun looked at Wang Chongshan and silently took out a wad of toilet paper from his backpack. Wang Chongshan: "..."
The toilet paper is not as big as the previous fifty-tael silver ingot, so it shouldn't be another fifty-tael silver ingot.
Could it be ten taels of silver ingots?
Wang Chongshan began to speculate in his mind, but when Xiao Yingchun opened the toilet paper and Wang Chongshan saw what was in front of him clearly, he stood up!
This... this is actually... Linzhijin!
"This thing..." Wang Chongshan wanted to say "Oh my god", but realized that the other person was a customer and could not show his emotions like this, so he sat down again.
Xiao Yingchun was a little embarrassed: "Can you please take a look at this and see if it can be auctioned?"
Wang Chongshan first carefully picked up the Linzhijin and examined it carefully with a magnifying glass and light. After the inspection, he felt uneasy and used professional instruments to test it.
After testing, it was confirmed that it was indeed gold with a purity of over 90%. Wang Chongshan felt numb.
He had carefully inspected it just now and found that there was no dust residue inside the Linzhijin, which showed that it was not unearthed underground.
He endured it again and again: "Where did you come from?"
Xiao Yingchun smiled: "I'm selling this on behalf of you. I can't tell you the origin. You just need to tell me if you can auction it here."
Wang Chongshan believed it as soon as he heard this.
After all, a girl in her early twenties does not look very noble. She does not come from a century-old family. How can such a thing be found?
"Ma'am, do you know what this is?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Commonly known as small gold shoes, also called Lin Toe Gold."
Now that you know it, you obviously also know how precious this thing is.
Even in ancient times, this thing did not circulate in the market at all!
These things are all awarded by the emperor to important ministers or relatives of the emperor who have achieved military merit.
Even though this small ingot of gold only weighs ten taels, its value is far beyond that of ordinary gold ingots.
Wang Chongshan looked serious: "A batch of Linzhi gold was unearthed from the tomb of Hou Hou before, but now it is kept in the museum and has not been released."
"Your lin-zhi gold was not unearthed from the ground, but it is definitely lin-zhi gold..."
Xiao Yingchun laughed: "This is not from that batch... just think that I picked up a treasury."
Wang Chongshan was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, he could only nod and get down to business: "Do you also want to auction this Linzhijin?"
Xiao Yingchun: "Of course."
"Okay, I'll make a commissioned auction contract for you right now..." Wang Chongshan was about to call someone to deliver the contract and other things.
Xiao Yingchun then said: "Wait a moment, I have another thing, please show me if it can be auctioned."
Wang Chongshan was numb: "What else?"
Xiao Yingchun took out another larger wad of toilet paper from his backpack and carefully placed it on the table in front of him.
It’s toilet paper again…
When the toilet paper was opened, Wang Chongshan's pupils inevitably shrank again: Fifty taels of gold ingots! No more running!
The second update is coming.
The shape of the golden toe is so beautiful. There is a special chapter "Golden toe" in the front, which contains pictures of small gold shoes.
If you are interested, you can go back and take another look.
Hahaha
In addition: The Liang Dynasty belongs to an overhead dynasty and parallel time and space.
All the things that came from Daliang Dynasty are not real "antiques" if you take it seriously...
We have no intention or behavior of selling our ancestors’ treasures abroad (the author who is full of desire for survival has crawled through this).
In the future, we will find ways to bring back the real antiques of our ancestors.
In addition, adding more updates mainly depends on the monthly ticket. The monthly ticket should be 200 tonight, but not 300 yet.
Baby, please support me a lot!
