Chapter 300: The Really Valuable Armor
The appraiser and Jiang Hai spoke Chinese, and Jiang Hai understood it very well, but he still couldn't believe it. Le-Wen-
Isn't it said that blue and white porcelain is extremely expensive? Why is there really a big discrepancy between the price of this game and the price in my heart.
In his view, this set of porcelain, not to mention selling for hundreds of millions of dollars, but selling for 20 to 30 million is not a problem.
But what the hell is this one million soft girl coins, these guys don't know how to bully themselves?
Perhaps seeing the dissatisfaction written on Jiang Hai's face, the middle-aged man here introduced to Jiang Hai: "Mr. Jiang, your pair of porcelains are indeed from the Ming Dynasty, and they are well preserved. , from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, but precisely because it was from the Wanli period, this porcelain is not worth much."
Looking at Jiang Hai, the middle-aged people began to popularize Jiang Hai. The porcelain of that era is valuable now, but in ancient times, the porcelain of that era was actually more valuable. It is impossible for Chinese people to know this, especially when selling porcelain to the West. Go, the truth is priceless, which is very tempting to domestic Chinese businessmen, but in that era, it was expressly prohibited, and rulers were not allowed to go to sea.
If you can't go by yourself, you can only rely on those Western businessmen to sell these things.
The domestic sea ban has actually existed since ancient times, and was followed by almost all Chinese people as the best era. The Song Dynasty actually had a sea ban. It is recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty and Taizong's Jiji, saying that it was the second year of Yongxi (985) , September Zhao Guangyi 'Forbidden Haijia'.
Representing the Song Dynasty, merchants were not allowed to go to sea from the beginning. Maritime merchants may go secretly in the later stage, but at least they dare not come openly. Later, in the Yuan Dynasty, people in the Yuan Dynasty did not understand the navy.
It's like the burden in the current cross talk, the Mongolian country, the commander of the navy, where does the sea come from on the grassland?
So in the Yuan Dynasty, the sea ban was also very strong. Then came the Ming Dynasty. That is naturally stronger.
Originally, when Zhu Di was in power, he sent Zheng He to the West.
But after Zheng He came back, he told Zhu Di that the products in the West are quite rich, but they are poor. There are no strategic reserves such as gold, silver, and copper. The abundant fruits, sugar cane, etc., are not available to China. What's the use.
In that era, common people could not afford sugar. But dignitaries and dignitaries eat sugar, which can naturally be made from beets.
There is also consideration, to guard against pirates on the island country, so the retreat country was created later. In the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, it reached an extreme, but although the rulers and boards were not allowed to go to sea, the people in the court and the businessmen were naturally not stupid.
They don't want to be maritime merchants, and these foreigners come to buy their own porcelain, so naturally they will not be polite.
So during the Wanli Dynasty, I saw business opportunities here. At that time, the imperial court once abolished the forbidden sea.
And specially for these Western businessmen, I got a blue and white porcelain for foreign trade. Naturally, the quality is similar to that of domestic ones.
Because it is sold to foreigners, there are dragons, immortals, phoenixes, and unicorns on it, and there is no taboo, but the prices are naturally different for different paintings. Longqing two dynasties are very common.
It was precisely because of the original foreign trade system that Huaxia's porcelain went to the world in that era.
Now four hundred years have passed, these porcelains have become antiques, but there is a problem, that is, there are too many of these porcelains, almost any domestic auction house has such porcelains, fake ones may be difficult to make. It's a waste of money.
"In China, to be honest, a single plum vase like yours sells for about 2.2 to 2.5 million soft sister coins. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. You are also Chinese, and There is such power in the United States. I think it is not troublesome for you to check the domestic price. The reason why I will offer more than six million dollars, one million dollars, is mainly because you are a couple. So on the basis of multiplying the price by two, it has been increased by more than one million." Seeing that he probably explained it clearly to Jiang Hai, the middle-aged man here said a little embarrassedly, and Jiang Hai also felt embarrassed when he heard his words. hesitated for a moment.
"Put these two bottles here first, and let's talk about other things first." Although he is already a little convinced now, he is still ready to ask about the country, and while sending text messages to Fuyuan and the others, Jiang Hai said to the person opposite .
The people here didn't care when they heard Jiang Hai's words. A bottle of one million dollars was not a treasure to them, so they continued to quote the price, and Xu Wei, who was in China at this time, also sent Jiang Hai message back.
Tell Jiang Hai that what the man said is indeed true, and the porcelain vases from the Wanli Year are indeed valuable. A porcelain vase said that it is not a problem to buy a suite in the fifth ring of the first emperor, but it is impossible to add more.
For ordinary people, a few million is a lot of money, but for Jiang Hai, he really panicked at a loss.
Just as he finished asking, the person opposite also quoted a full price for the pile of things.
These two bottles of Jiang Hai are only worth one million US dollars, and the pile of money and jewelry that he didn't care about at first is worth 2.3 million in total. Shake your head.
After all, it can be regarded as a consolation prize. These jewels, at most, accounted for less than 100% of the ship's cabin.
These are worth 2.3 million. If they go back, the big boat of jewels will be worth 200-300 million dollars.
This time it was not in vain, since the negotiation had already been made, Jiang Hai did not lower the price, and the price offered by the other party was still very solid.
Jiang Hai directly sold these jewels and the pair of porcelain vases for 3.3 million, which was directly transferred to Jiang Hai's account.
These people immediately contacted the headquarters. Although the jewelry worth more than three million yuan is not very high, it is also quite expensive. At least it is not something they can afford to pay. It is safest to notify the company's security to come and get it.
Seeing them wrapping these things up one by one, Jiang Hai suddenly saw the skirt that he kept in the distance.
"Hey, didn't you guys read this?" Jiang Hai asked in surprise as he walked over and picked up the skirt casually.
"Is this also a collection?" Looking at this metal skirt that seemed to be made just now, the people here couldn't help asking with some doubts.
"Of course, these things were taken back together, and this thing has a history of nearly four hundred years." Hearing these people's doubts, Jiang Hai said as it should, but he meant it.
The pair of porcelain vases he was particularly fond of didn't sell for a high price. This set didn't seem to be armor worn by humans at all. What price could it be sold for? But as the saying goes, thieves don't go empty, bah, I'm not a thief, and I don't go empty anyway.
This thing is also placed on the bottom of the sea. If it can be sold for money, that would be great, even if it is only worth hundreds of thousands.
"Nearly four hundred years? This, is this a battle skirt?" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, a white man who didn't care about it widened his eyes instantly, and immediately took the skirt and looked at it carefully. The location is far away from them.
At first, these people thought it was an ashtray, which was purposely made old, but now that Jiang Hai said it, their eyes lit up.
The time spent studying this battle skirt was much longer than that of other things. It was nearly two hours. When the security guards in the middle came, they specially asked these people to bring some new research equipment, and kept drumming there. After three o'clock in the afternoon, the three people here raised their heads, their faces were covered with beads of sweat, and at the same time, there was a trace of gratitude and excitement.
"Mr. Jiang Hai, I don't know if the other matching armor for this battle skirt is in your hands, or is it only this battle skirt?" After the three of them whispered to their leaders, they didn't know who it was. Men from Latin America or the Middle East couldn't help but stare blankly, then came to Jiang Hai respectfully, and asked Jiang Hai seriously.
"Oh, there is a set, but I put it in another place." Hearing what this person said, Jiang Hai was also stunned. Is this battle dress very valuable? So the mentality that I didn't care much about at first changed instantly at this time.
"If my team guessed correctly, this set of armor should be specially built by Philip III. It belongs to his exclusive armor, and it is also a new set of armor..." Looking at Jiang Hai, this man Said seriously.
"Wait, why Philip is still from Sirloin, I don't care, this set of armor is very valuable?" Hearing that this man seemed to have to explain to himself what Philip III was, Jiang Hai immediately stretched out He raised his hand and stopped his words.
At the beginning, he told Jiang Hai about the events of the Wanli Year, and Jiang Hai might still be interested in listening.
But when he talked about the history of Europe, Jiang Hai didn't have much interest in listening. He interrupted him directly and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"It's not a matter of money or not. Well, in business, if you decide to sell this item, it is estimated that it will be difficult for our company to pay for it alone. Therefore, in my opinion, you should auction it, because it will be considered at that time." It's tax deducted, and you earn more than we imagined." Looking at Jiang Hai, this person's eyes were about to burst into flames, and it was obvious that this was really a huge sum of money.
"What's more specific?" Squinting his eyes, Jiang Hai also asked curiously. To be honest, he really didn't expect that that pair of armor was so valuable, so valuable that Phillips didn't dare to accept it privately. This is a bit interesting. up.
"I've checked your transaction records. I'm sorry, this is also our job requirement. It depends on your creditworthiness. If you add up the prices of the two items you sold and multiply them by two, it's probably worth half a suit of armor. "Seeing Jiang Hai's serious look, this person also said seriously, he is not alarmist, as a person from an auction house.
Under such circumstances, he would only underestimate and not overestimate. This is also his professionalism! (To be continued.)
