Fight to the third generation

next to.

Nangong Tian didn't care about the watch, she was whetted and asked:

"Where is that four-carat green diamond ring? There is such a large natural green diamond? I only have blue and pink diamond jewelry."

After listening to the pawnshop owner, he glanced at Nangongtian's blue diamond pendant. According to his visual inspection, it was at least [-] carats, and the purity was very high. It was definitely expensive.

This made him more sure that he did not recognize the wrong person, so he told:

"It's in my vault. I originally planned to send it to the auction and sell it for cash as soon as possible. If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you if the price is right. There are too few natural green diamonds, and there are even fewer top-level green diamonds of this size. , even for the first time I’ve seen a diamond of this quality, it’s auction grade.”

At this time, Jiang Yu curiously pointed to the white underpants in the glass photo frame, and asked the boss with a strange expression: "What is it, a work of art?"

"No, it's the underwear that Elvis Presley wore, maybe still has his DNA, and it only costs five thousand dollars."

After the pawnshop owner finished speaking, Jiang Yu immediately felt disgusted.

Su Yehao also felt that his eyes were hot, the taste was too strong...

The store was filled with common goods. After passing through three iron fences and entering the vault on the second floor, Su Yehao first saw a small oil painting by Picasso.

The artist's works are so distinctive that they are easily recognizable, and at the same time known for their prolific output, ordinary works are not worth much.

So when someone says that they have a Picasso work in their collection, don’t be surprised. It may only be worth tens of thousands of dollars, and sketches and prints are even less valuable.

The pawnshop owner took out the green diamond ring, which was inlaid with a circle of white diamonds. Under the light, it was so deep green.

High-quality green diamonds are indeed rare in the market. Even Su Yehao, who doesn't like diamonds, feels that this thing may have collection value at the moment, so he casually asked:

"How much are you going to sell this ring for? Try both of you, and if one likes it, buy another piece of jewelry."

After Xiao Nizi tried it on, she found that her fingers were too thin, and so did Jiang Yu.

The pawnshop owner hurriedly took out another treasure of the shop, a pear-shaped yellow diamond necklace, and told him:

"The price of the green diamond ring is 300 million US dollars. The yellow main diamond of this pendant weighs 300 carats, and the price is also 110 million US dollars. It looks like a miniature version of the tear of the sun. The tear of the sun is the largest yellow diamond in the world. It weighed [-] carats."

"There is such a big difference in size, and they all sell for 300 million?" Su Yehaohu asked. The price is not clearly marked in this kind of store, and he feels like he is being treated as a winner.

The pawnshop owner explained:

"Because green diamonds are so rare, top-level green diamonds of four carats are even rarer. If they are sent to the auction house, they may even sell for 350 million US dollars, but taxes, handling fees, and time costs are all very high. Jiadian has always attached great importance to reputation, otherwise it would be impossible to do such a big business, this is a fair price."

Su Yehao, who took these words as a deaf ear, asked Xiao Nizi and Jiang Yu to try them on first.

Although diamonds are not worth the money in his opinion, high-grade collection-grade colored diamonds are indeed very popular in the market and have room for appreciation.

No way, girls' love for jewelry and vanity make this industry destined not to disappear.

The pawnbroker, who still didn't understand the relationship between the three, dared not talk nonsense at the moment, and praised them for being beautiful.

I thought Su Yehao could make the final decision, so I focused on him.

The pawnshop owner continued to make friends, boasting: "A Rolex gold watch owned by the king of Vietnam seems to have been collected by you too? That Rolex was owned by the king and you successively, and it will at least double its value in the market. If there is a second-hand watch in the future If you need a deal, please feel free to contact me, not to mention just in Hong Kong City, even on the moon, I will find a way to get there."

After thinking about the second-hand goods at home, it seems that either they have appreciated in value, or they may appreciate in value.

For example, the Mercedes-Benz supercar in the Silicon Valley warehouse, or the limited-edition McLaren supercar that his mother gave him a few years ago, if he sells it now, the price will be higher than the starting price.

There are no new cars on the market that make Su Yehao's heart flutter, such as Bugatti, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari Rafa, Aston Martin One77, etc., so there is no need to sell them for the time being.

The perfunctory boss agreed, Su Yehao looked around in the shelves and display cabinets, and accidentally saw a blue and white vase in the corner, which was more than half a meter high, with a yellowish bottom and some damage.

Although he doesn't know how to appraise things, he can still tell whether something looks good or not.

Although the branches and leaves on the bottle are dense, they look quite beautiful.

After communicating with the pawnshop owner, he picked up the bottle and looked at it, but unfortunately there was no money at the bottom, which made Su Yehao blind.

The pawnshop owner said:

"This is one of my customers. It was bought from an auction held by the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art. It is very suitable for home decoration. It should be a piece of porcelain with a history."

Su Yehao nodded, and asked the girls first, "Do you like it?"

"It's very distinctive, but the price is too expensive. If you buy two pieces together, how about $400 million?" Nangong Tian's English is pretty good. For a while, she even wanted to study in the UK, but her mother wanted to be closer to her daughter. So I went to Hong Kong University.

With a single knife, $200 million was chopped off on the main artery of the pawnshop owner. He shook his head and told, "The price is too low. If you really want to buy it, pack two pieces together, and it will cost $550 million. I will only earn a little hard work fee."

"Maximum 450 million. I still have to save money to invest in movies. I'm really poor."

After listening to Xiao Nizi's words, the female clerk at the side almost vomited blood. She was shocked by this sentence and gave an internal injury. She casually quoted 450 million US dollars and said she was poor?

Even if this is Beverly Hills, the female shop assistant has never seen such a scene.

The pawnshop owner was keenly aware that he seemed to have misjudged, and finally found that Nangongtian was the customer who could call the shots.

After some haggling, the price was set at $520 million.

Jiang Yu kept silent, she didn't have any money in her small coffers, but with the help of Su Yehao, Xiaonizi made nearly [-] million Hong Kong dollars through short selling in the past two or three months.

This time, I bought a piece of jewelry to reward myself, and by the way, as a "sister", I gave Jiang Yu a gift.

The vase, which was said to be priced at $[-], was given to Su Yehao as a hair extension, and handed over to the bodyguards to take away.

The pawnshop owner didn't feel bad at all, because he only spent [-] US dollars to collect the bottle. It has been in the warehouse for more than two years and has not been sold.

He contacted American Express and asked them to pay for it. During the waiting period, Su Yehao bought another Audemars Piguet gold watch, and the price was only more than 6 US dollars.

On the way back to the hotel.

Nangongtian chattered, saying that she would give the green diamond ring to her mother as her birthday present.

Su Yehao contacted his grandfather and told him to send a few photos of the blue vase later, asking the old man to take a look...

Chapter 672

Beverly L'Ermitage Hotel.

It was already 04:30 in the morning in Los Angeles. Both Su Yehao and Jiang Yu were in high spirits.

Coming to the other side of the earth, the biological clock cannot be changed for a while.

Fortunately, I made preparations, communicated with the hotel in advance, installed the DVD, and brought the "Friends" disc with traditional subtitles. I just sat on the sofa in the suite, watching episode after episode, eating snacks and watching the show.

I was tired from watching halfway, and played a "friendly match" during the break.

At this moment, both sister-in-law and Jiang Yu were only wearing silk pajamas, and tacitly did not talk about having children.

Although I didn't intentionally plan to conceive, I was mentally prepared and planned to let nature take its course...

At this moment.

Su Yehao was a little sleepy just now, and happened to receive a call from the old man, who told him on the phone, "I've seen the photos you sent, is the bottle in your hand?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yehao immediately realized something, and asked, "Why, is this bottle special?"

Mr. Tang takes collecting as a hobby, and has been tossing these old gadgets since the 70s and [-]s.

You must know that the items were not worth much at the beginning, and the items that could be favored by a rich businessman like Su Yehao in the Hong Kong city were often not much worse.

It's just that the old man didn't expect that with the economic development in the north, the things in his hand suddenly became valuable.

Even if he didn't put all his thoughts on this aspect, the pile of things in his collection can still sell for five or six million Hong Kong dollars, and most of them are now put into Su Yehao's small castle.

Although he is not a master of appraisal, he has seen a lot of good objects, so he naturally has a little discernment. Grandpa Su Yehao told on the other side of the phone:

"Well, I thought it was a bit interesting after reading it before. After talking to a friend, I basically understood it. The photo is not clear, but the pattern on it is a peony with twigs, a typical official kiln, a dragon ear bottle with peony twigs, If it is real, the history can go to Ming Hongwu, but the color difference in the photo is not sure yet.”

Su Yehao still knew the reign name of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

The boss who started with a broken bowl and turned from a beggar to the founding emperor has achieved much higher achievements than his kind.

After hearing what Grandpa said, Su Yehao was surprised and told, "How could it be an official kiln? There is not even a mark on the bottom of the bottle. And you may not be able to see it in the photo. The color of the blue and white is a bit dull, not as beautiful as your large plate of Yuan blue and white." .”

"Oh?"

On the contrary, Mr. Tang regained his energy and said with a smile:

"That's more likely to be true. The Ming Dynasty just founded the country. Years of wars have left a lot of waste to be done. How can I have time to study these? The blue and white firing is not beautiful enough. I just built an official kiln in Jingde, the capital of porcelain. There is no deposit. It's normal, if it's really Ming Hongwu blue and white, and it's such a big one, it's okay to say it's a national treasure, it's even rarer than Yuan blue and white, so don't donate it to me this time."

"...Tsk, I can actually pick up leaks?"

There is a wonderful experience of koi possession. Even if there is no shortage of money for a long time, Su Yehao will be very happy if he buys the baby at a low price. At this moment, he asked: "If it is really Hongwu blue and white, it can be sold at the auction. How much?"

Mr. Tang himself is a businessman, so of course he doesn't think his grandson's talking about money is vulgar, but he made an estimate with great interest, and replied:

"One price per year. There are very few Hongwu blue and white flowers on the market. If I meet such a big one in the auction house, I will be happy to pay 4000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars. If it is more, I will have to weigh it."

"Wow! So valuable?"

"Because it's less, less than glaze red. When will you come back? If you pick up a bargain, run away quickly. In the early years, people didn't know the goods, and often regarded the Hongwu blue-and-white official kiln without a deposit as an ordinary folk kiln. I just confirmed Hongwu blue and white through the porcelain ruins, there are few people in China who know how to do it, let alone the foreigners, and it is still easy to buy good things overseas..."

Mr. Tang had no choice but to be convinced of his grandson's fortune.

Now I just look at the photos, not to mention [-]% sure, [-]% sure, no matter the pattern, shape, or red bottom tire, I haven’t picked out any faults until now, and it’s still a museum in the United States. Serum inventory, With an auction certificate, the probability of authenticity is greatly improved.

After all, even if it is a fake, it is at most imitated in the past ten years, and it is okay to use it to deceive upstarts. If it is just bought by a museum, it is impossible to sell it at a low price.

On the whole, it is obvious that this museum in Los Angeles does not know the goods, and sells rare treasures as worthless folk kilns.

Su Yehao stared at the big bottle that was randomly placed on the shoe cabinet, and was thinking about finding a box to pack it carefully, and said: "I just came to Los Angeles, and I will go back in a few days. I have to be busy with business. Don't worry about this matter for the time being." Rumor has not yet been confirmed whether it is true or not, and Lao Mei's rules are different, if you find out, you may be held accountable, which is quite troublesome."

"I understand, say hello to my friend later, don't worry."

After Mr. Tang finished speaking, he said again: "You are lucky, go to the street stalls and flea markets if you have nothing to do."

"...This kind of thing may happen once in a lifetime. How could it happen so often? When I return to Hong Kong City, I will bring you the bottle as soon as possible."

……

After hanging up the phone, Su Yehao carefully put the bottle into the suitcase covered with bath towels.

After telling the girls what grandpa said, Nangong Tian stared blankly, with sparkling eyes, and said, "If it's really that expensive, wouldn't you almost earn back the money you bought for jewelry?"

Jiang Yu was also taken aback, and told him, "It's amazing, such an ugly bottle is so expensive?"

"Ugly... I can't even talk about it, but it's really not Chenghua Doucai. The porcelain from the Yongzheng and Kangxi periods is beautiful, and the aesthetics of a bunch of big bosses is indeed a little bit worse. I'm lucky today."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he lazily sat back on the sofa and said with a smile:

"Not to mention these museums, I heard that some European family cellars are filled with all kinds of treasures collected from the mainland 100 years ago. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to spend a lot of money to buy these things back. If you have money, it is better to buy some technology and cultivate some treasures. Talent, if you lose in the past, you can’t change it, and contemporary competition is the key.”

Jiang Yu didn't answer, he just breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's not just pure luck. If you don't have money to buy jewelry, you won't be able to enter the pawnshop's vault. With your strength, the probability of getting in touch with the treasure is much higher than ordinary people. I still have a burden to accept the yellow diamond necklace. I feel so poor, if I can really sell for 4000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars, that would be great."

It didn't matter and waved his hands, Su Yehao put his arms around her and said:

"It's nothing to do with me, please be polite? Collectible jewelry is equivalent to assets, similar to antique works of art. There is a lot of room for value-added, and it is not a waste of money. If you are really sorry, then make more money and give it to me later. Buy...buy...I really can't think of what else is missing, customizing Boeing's large airliner needs [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars, I will not make it difficult for you."

Throwing him a big white eye, Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing, and told:

"Okay, it's only three or four billion dollars. You wait for 1000 years, and I should be able to earn it by then, and I can directly exchange it for your spaceship."

……

Chapter 673 Santa Monica Music Festival

Gradually dawn.

Su Yehao finally dozed off. Although they were in Los Angeles, their biological clocks were the same as those in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong City is [-] hours faster than here, and it is quite troublesome to adjust.

Considering that I will go back after only a few days, instead of repeatedly torturing myself, it is better to go out at night and use the daytime to catch up on sleep.

It was past eight o'clock in the morning.

Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu were already lying on the bed and fast asleep.

Su Yehao drank coffee to refresh himself while being envious. He still had to wait for the public relations person to come and discuss how to operate the scandal.

Follow the "script" for the initial communication.

Probably looking for a chance to be photographed by the paparazzi, after a period of hype, and then clarified, and then continue to hype, squeeze out all opportunities for the promotion of the film.

After that, Jessica Alba can be allowed to travel to Hong Kong City Tour. As for how the media interprets it, it is none of Su Yehao's business.

This time, Columbia Pictures plans to spend 4000 million US dollars for the production of the "Spider-Man" movie.

Due to the huge amount of investment and the fact that there is no precedent for a Marvel superhero movie, this project is undoubtedly particularly risky at present.

So when Su Yehao took the initiative to contact the senior management of Columbia Pictures and Sony Japan through Tianyu Entertainment, the two parties hit it off and negotiated that Tianyu Entertainment would provide 2000 million US dollars, share the risk and enjoy the box office dividend right.
