"Are you the only ones here? Can''t we get some more people over here? It''s almost midnight. " After taking a look at his watch and looking around him, because he didn''t sleep yesterday and couldn''t support afra and others tonight, Jiang Hai said impatiently. When he heard his words, the person in charge on the other side could not help but smile awkwardly.
Since Jiang Hai''s ship arrived at the wharf, Jiang Hai took these things and got on the escort car arranged by Phillips. Of course, there was Moses Adams who had been waiting here for a long time.
The group soon arrived at Phillips'' office in Miami, and then the experts who had been prepared by the person in charge came into use. Unfortunately, he underestimated Jiang Hai''s treasures.
He only prepared six experts, and it would take more than ten minutes, or even more than half an hour, for one expert to identify the authenticity of a thing. After all, these things are very valuable. In case any of them is wrong, they have to be careful. From more than seven o''clock in the evening, they arrived here Here we go.
Until now, it''s more than two o''clock in the middle of the night. These people have only counted about half of the things, and half of the things haven''t moved, especially the most important thing is the armor.
Almost two consecutive days without sleep, to Jiang Hai''s body grid although not to say can not stand, but sleepiness is inevitable.
Can''t help yawning, some helpless in front of the person in charge said.
"I''ll deal with it right away." Hearing Jiang Hai''s words, the person in charge complained that Jiang Hai had brought so many things, but he would not say so. After all, these things can create wealth for the auction house.
Don''t look at that armor. It''s big. But in fact, in that armor, the money that can be made at auction is not too much.
More is used to make a name, the only thing they can ask is the Commission after the auction. But in order to win over Jiang Hai, a big client, the original 10% commission. It has been reduced to three percent. One hundred million only earn 30000, one billion only 300000. It''s really not much. They just want to earn more.
But if these jewels, gold and silver coins are sold, they are real money.
The price they gave Jiang Hai was very high, but no matter how high it was. They also make money, even if gold coins earn $100 each, silver coins earn $10 each, and gemstones earn $1000 each. These large quantities of jewelry are enough for them to earn hundreds of millions.
So they had to be more careful than that armor.
However, as Jiang Hai said, the progress of six people in dealing with such a large pile of jewelry is really too slow.
I don''t know if they can resist. He''s just waiting here. Also very tired.
So after thinking about it, he went out and found a group of clerks, all of whom were Phillips'' office workers in Miami. The most important thing for them to come here is to help identify. Of course, they won''t touch the precious jewels and gold coins, but they can help with the silver coins of moderate value.
For this reason, they were specially asked to change into clothes without pockets before they came and began to be busy.
If we separate out the biggest silver coins, the rest of us can identify those valuable things faster.
At five in the morning. All the gold and silver coins were identified, and Jiang Hai got 27665 gold coins this time. Plus 86742 silver coins, of course. These gold and silver coins are not all Spanish.
As a matter of fact, coins in Europe have always been in chaos, and there is no clear currency, especially in the middle ages.
From the 14th century to the 16th century, the currency in Europe was quite chaotic.
Europe is in such a mess, not to mention the American continent, which has become their colony.
At the beginning of the fourteenth century, the princes of Shenluo imitated the rolgros coins and made the groshini coins, which were considered as hard currency at that time.
However, later, France issued gold coins twice, which failed. It was not until the emergence of the standard French gold coin EGU that it became stable and continued to use until the time of Louis XIV.
Later, in 1344, Britain issued noble gold coins, weighing about 8.972 grams, worth six shillings and eight pence, equivalent to half a mark (gold) and a third of a pound (silver), but the promotion was not very good.
The Rhineland princes unified the standard of counterfeiting Rowling coins, which is called Rhineland shield. However, the shield is very light. At first, it only weighs 23 carats. 23 carats is not a gram. Otherwise, if a diamond is more than 10 carats, it will be the biggest one.
The conversion unit is five carats equal to one gram. In the early stage of the Rhine shield, it was 23 carats and one-half carats, and in the later stage, it was 19 carats.
The equivalent is about four grams. For pirates, such a large gold coin is not enough to see.
In addition to the Spanish gold coins, the most gold coins in Jiang Hai''s area are the gold coins of the aristocrats in Egypt and England.
Each of them weighs nearly ten grams. These gold coins are worth a lot.Although not all of them are Spanish gold coins, they are similar in age and weight, so their value is not much different.
According to the order given by the leader of the auction house, the person in charge came according to the last transaction price.
A gold coin of 1000 US dollars and a silver coin of 350 US dollars. Together, these more than 110000 gold and silver coins are worth 58024700 US dollars and more than 50 million US dollars. Although they are not particularly many, they also meet the requirements of Jiang Hai.
At least as soon as the money came out, his savings rose again. What''s more, the gems had not been identified yet. With the money, Jiang Hai''s spirit was much better.
Unconsciously, the sun of Miami sprinkled on this piece of land until more than 9 a.m. when afra and others, who had been sleeping in a daze, got up because of their sour body, finally the last gem had been identified. With the appraisers over there, they handed the forms to the person in charge In his hand, the person in charge also calculated with his mind. Then he looked at Jiang Hai with some surprise.
"What? What''s wrong? " As he leans on the sofa, Jiang Hai looks at the person in charge and says.
"Of course not. Everything is right, but it''s a lot of money." Hearing Jiang Hai''s words, the person in charge here shook his head, went to Jiang Hai and handed the six forms to Jiang Hai.
These six tables are made by the six people. Every time they read a thing, they will write down a series of figures on it. This is their valuation. Basically, auction houses can''t do loss making business. They will calculate and buy according to the above price.
Although they did not know where Jiang Hai''s things came from, it did not prevent them from taking them in.
After taking the form in front of him, Jiang Hai also looked at it. When he saw the first form, he could not help picking his eyebrows.
"A ruby with pigeon blood, 41.5 carats net weight, estimated year 1600-1650, other items: none, necklace pendant, estimated price: 183350-192275."
"A golden green cat''s eye, net weight 37.84 carats, estimated year 1600-1650, other items: a string of natural pearl lotus, estimated price: 156700-158900."
looked at the figures above. Chiang Hai couldn''t help laughing. There were not only ruby, emerald, sapphire, topaz, but also a lot of cat''s eye (Emerald), and even ivory and coral products.
Jiang Hai doesn''t know much about this, but he can understand the estimated price behind. Even if it''s all calculated according to the lowest price, he has made a lot of money this time. What''s written on the six tables is almost the same, and Jiang Hai has calculated the price of these things in his heart, which makes his heart skip half a beat.
Sure enough, for a pirate ship like this, gold and silver coins are just small heads. What is really valuable is these jewels.
"I''m not going to quote you the lowest price for these jewels. Let''s take a whole number. The gold and silver coins here are worth 58 million. But the final price for these jewels is 242 million. Let''s just make up 300 million. What do you think?" Seeing that Jiang Hai put down his things with satisfaction, the person in charge here hesitated for a moment and offered the price of buying this batch of jewelry to Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai knows that if he auctions, he can at least sell another 100 million yuan or more.
But there is a problem, that is, the problem of paying taxes. Also, if he wants to sell these jewels, he has to pay some commission. If he gets the money, it will be good if he can get 200 million yuan. Now it is good to collect 300 million yuan steadily.
"No problem, deal." After thinking about it in his heart, Jiang Hai also looked at Moses Adams next to him. When Moses Adams saw Jiang Hai''s eyes, he handed over his mobile phone. There was a series of figures on it, which was the estimated price.
It''s 280 million, which is estimated by Moses Adams. It''s 20 million less than this price. It proves that the other party didn''t cheat him this time. Moses Adams didn''t close his eyes for a second this evening. He has been staring at these jewels, taking photos from time to time and sending them to antique dealers he knows to estimate the price.
Although it''s obvious that it''s not very authentic, it''s not uncommon for Phillips to do so here in the United States.
He is in good spirits now, because he has been prepared for a long time. After all, he just got up yesterday afternoon. Even after staring at him all night, his eyes are just a little red now. (to be continued). ）
