Chapter 78: Qibao appears again and again
ps: After taking the medicine, Uncle Guo, who became cute, is here again. It is said that after voting for recommendation, he will be cute without taking medicine! Well, Momo!
After the red carpet ceremony, after a brief speech, the jewelry exhibition officially kicked off.》
The central area of the No. 1 New Wing Exhibition Hall is a non-sale display area. Li Yi decided to go there first. I heard that there are many treasures this time.
The first exhibit he saw was a huge golden stone with an extremely irregular shape and a bumpy surface, which was very ugly.
After a little thought, Li Yi understood that this was probably a piece of dog-headed gold. It must be extremely unusual for dog-headed gold to appear at exhibitions of this level. Li Yi squeezed over and looked at the information, and it was indeed the case.
According to statistics, so far, the world has found that more than 10 kilograms of dog head gold is about 8,000 to 10,000 yuan. The largest amount is in Australia, accounting for 80% of the total amount of dog head gold. The largest piece of dog head gold is produced in Australia, called Holtman. The net weight of the dog head gold is 285.77 kilograms, containing 92 kilograms of pure gold, and its gold content is 32.2%.
And this piece of dog head gold is the largest piece of dog head gold called Holtman!
Next to the gold of the dog head is a sapphire that is hundreds of times more expensive than it. Although it is only 122 carats, industry insiders estimate that the estimated price of this sapphire is expected to reach 600 million pounds (about 6.3 billion yuan)!
Hearing the audience around him screaming in a low voice, Li Yi was deeply impressed by the arrangement of the exhibition. The extreme contrast between one big and one small makes people have a very intuitive concept of the value of the treasure.
He knew that this sapphire should be the one that had just been produced in the Cullinan Diamond Mine in South Africa. He heard that after participating in this jewelry exhibition, it would be shipped to the Netherlands for cutting and polishing, and then it would be auctioned in Johannesburg, South Africa for a secret auction. He still remembers that the discovery of this gem caused Petra, which owned it, to rise 8% on the day of its announcement.
The third exhibit is the "Crown of the Sea" inlaid with 288 sea pearls, 1880 diamonds, 18k yellow and platinum. Li Yi read the information about this treasure when he was in college and knew that this was one of the Nanzhu cultural exhibits at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, and is now in the "Nanzhu Museum of the Republic".
Unexpectedly, Li Yi actually saw the jade watermelon that had just arrived at the scene in the middle of the night last night!
He had always thought that the jade watermelon would be exhibited at the booth of Van Cleef & Arpels, but when he saw the audience surrounding the jade watermelon, Li Yi suddenly understood why his master handed over the work to Van Cleef & Arpels for exhibition. The reason Shi Qiba said was one aspect, but what really made the master decide was because of the huge energy of Van Cleef & Arpels in the world jewelry field.
An exhibition of this level and scale can be placed in the center as a treasure for non-sale display. It must have submitted relevant information very early and was allowed to be exhibited after repeated reviews. Therefore, with the energy of domestic jewelry companies, most of them are not able to carve the jade watermelon that was only sent to the scene yesterday and was delivered to the booth to the booth.
If this is a surprise, then the treasure I saw next made Li Yi’s mouth full of bitterness. Damn, greed is indeed the original sin!
It turned out that what he saw was an ancient treasure, a golden beacon worn by the imperial concubine Huixian of the Qing Dynasty collected by the Yanjing Museum!
This golden stunning piece is also a phoenix shape, but compared to the one Li Yi received, there are huge differences in the style, workmanship, the gems used, and the integrity of the preservation!
Not to mention the former master, no matter what the hell is this imperial concubine Huixian, she cannot compete with Da Yuer! She couldn't help but check the information. Sure enough, she was just a concubine of Emperor Qianlong, and Xiaozhuang was the grandmother of Emperor Qianlong!
After standing there for a while, Li Yi sighed and said, "I have already collected it, what else can I do?" Besides, the world is so big, and he and the family are not on the same track at all. As long as the Long brother and his wife don't say it, who will know that things are in his hands? Let's take a step back and say it, even if they say it, there may not be anyone who believes it, and it may not be able to reach the ears of the family!"
There is even another possibility, that is, the family itself is concealing the existence of Jin Buyao!
Damn it, the bird is facing the sky, and it will never die for thousands of years! Even if they really come to the door, he is just a bargain. So what can he do?
After figuring everything out, Li Yi felt relieved, and even the babies he saw felt a little more beautiful.
After watching the exhibition in the central area, a question that Li Yi had always thought of since he heard Shi Qiba's introduction suddenly became clear. There are many jewelry exhibitions all over the world every year, but it seems that he has never heard of any time that would be so grand.
After all, this is just a hypermarket with the name of the jewelry exhibition. This time, not only were there a large number of stars appearing, but they also walked the red carpet grandly. Most importantly, there were more than a dozen political stars who attended the event. Should they be so grand?
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly slapped my shoulder heavily. When I turned around, I saw a familiar smiling face.
"You boy, you have no news after graduation. Unexpectedly, you secretly ran to Hong Kong to attend the jewelry exhibition! I honestly told you whether you are rich and are going to buy some treasures to deceive those ignorant little girls?"
Li Yi laughed and gave this guy a heavy expression, with a serious expression.
"Since you know the answer, you should bury it in your heart. Are you not afraid of me silence after speaking it out?"
"Destroy your hammer's mouth, I can hit you three by one!"
The person who came was Li Yi’s classmate in college. He was ranked third in the upper and lower bunks and dormitories. He was also the friend he got the most in line with in college, Zheng Shusen!
"Third brother, why have you come to the jewelry exhibition? Don't tell me, you're rich, and you're going to trick two guests back and warm up the bed!"
Zheng Shusen is from Yucheng. His Mandarin is very unstandard, and he often has a few local accents. He is excited at the moment and the scene is quite chaotic. He didn't notice the word "Ye" in Li Yi's words.
"I don't have such a good life. This time I came to participate in the exhibition and sales on behalf of the company. To put it bluntly, I'm just an errand runner and a cargo mover."
I was pitiful, but the expression on my face was very proud, as if you admire me and praise me. But thinking about it, I was selected by the company to participate in such a high-end exhibition after only half a year of working, and it is indeed worthy of being proud of it in Hong Kong.
"Okay, don't show off your bad luck there. I remember you seemed to have entered Hongxiang, Rongcheng. How about it? Is the job fun?"
Zheng Shusen suddenly seemed like a deflated ball.
"I didn't go there at the beginning! I changed my company and stayed in Beijing! But the treatment is a bit pitiful, and I am still an intern!"
"So miserable? That's all that! You're not even an internship. You don't discuss it every minute. By then, time will be wasted and money will not be earned..."
"I'm lying to you, the intern jewelry appraiser is the company's position setting, and I signed a formal employment contract. I can also solve the Yanjing household registration! Hahahaha!"
Li Yi looked at the proud guy in front of him speechlessly, and suddenly laughed. He was still at work and still hadn't changed at all. He was still the hateful slutty guy back then!
"Where are you? Where are you working now? Damn it, I didn't say anything after changing the phone number! I'm afraid that my brothers will lend you money!"
"I didn't find a job, so I stayed in Yanjing for two months before returning to my hometown. Now I'm a master studying jade carving."
Li Yi was in a miserable state after graduation, so he deliberately changed his phone number. Although he got the spirit card, he could not share this matter with his friends. After getting rich, he didn't know how to deal with his former friendship for a while. There were so many things, so the contact was delayed.
"So miserable? You were among the best in the class at that time!"
Zheng Shusen thought for a moment and patted Li Yi on the shoulder hard.
"Stop talking about anything. You will follow me later. This time, several senior executives of the company have come here, and the biggest boss is here. Let me introduce you to it. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your kid!"
Li Yi scratched his head in shame. He felt guilty. Although none of the words he said just now were lies, sometimes you can also get points for the truth about trampling horses!
"I'm not in a hurry, it's been so long anyway. Alas, I have a question. Why do I think this exhibition is not too ordinary and why is the specifications so high?"
"Haha, you're asking the right person. Tell you, non-insiders really don't know!"
Zheng Shusen looked around sneakily and said mysteriously:
"A lot of things have happened in Hong Kong in the past two years. One of them has been very big. Do you know it?"
Li Yi nodded. The incident last year had been in trouble for several months, which was indeed a bit too much.
"These things not only caused a major blow to Hong Kong's tourism industry, but also had a very bad political impact, so they decided to raise the specifications of this exhibition so high! According to our company's boss, the review of registration information was several times stricter than other exhibitions of the same level! However, after seeing the arrangements of the organizing committee, everyone kept saying it was worth it!"
Li Yi nodded again, of course it was worth it. Not to mention these treasures displayed on the same stage, the show at the door just now was enough to be on the news for a long time.
Chapter completed!
