Chapter 83: Sotheby's Auction House
What Lu Zijian wants to give him a photo is naturally the Vacheron Constantin 57260.
I originally wanted to keep it for collection, but now I think about it, it doesn’t make much sense to keep it in my hands.
Except for real watch enthusiasts or watch collectors, who would recognize Vacheron Constantin 57260?
The most important thing is that the length of 98 mm is not enough to be worn on your hands to show off.
It's better to exchange some cash for it.
As for Aphrola’s recommendation just now, Lu Zijian wanted to send it to Christie’s Auction. After all, Christie’s is the most professional in the watch industry.
But the problem is that Christie's has not had an auction house recently, and the journey is relatively long.
Christie's' large auction houses are basically in the United States.
Lu Zijian doesn't want to take a 12-hour flight, it's simply a pain.
As for European auction houses, each has its own advantages, but none of them seem to be professional in watches.
"How about Sotheby's? There was a Sotheby's auction in one week, right in Edinburgh."
Aphrola gave a very reliable suggestion.
This proposal is good...it is an excellent opportunity to take action, and Lu Zijian was very moved.
Lu Zijian is definitely an action-oriented faction, and he is now connected with Sotheby's.
"Hello, Sotheby's Auction."
"I have something to give to the auction, and I want to attend this Edinburgh auction."
"Sir, this is probably difficult. The auction is about to be held in one week, and all the goods have been settled."
Sotheby's often receives such calls, so it's not surprising, but rules are rules, so how can you break them at will?
"Well, if that's the case, it would be a shame. I can only choose a new auction."
Lu Zijian sighed, indeed a little anxious.
"Sir, if you can, can you roughly describe the items you need to give to the photos? We can also give you a reference."
“Vacheron Constantin 57260.”
"Uh? Sir, I didn't hear it clearly just now. What did you just say?"
Very good, it is indeed very realistic. The name Lu Zijian is directly upgraded from you to you.
“Vacheron Constantin 57260.”
Lu Zijian repeated it.
"Sir, wait, our supervisor will talk to you." Good, this is not a "big fish", but a "whale"!
Vacheron Constantin 57260 is enough to be the finale of the auction.
"Is it Mr. Lu?"
In just one minute, an excited voice came from the other end of the phone, with a fierce gasp.
It can be seen that the supervisor rushed to the phone as quickly as possible as possible when he got the news.
"How do you know my name?"
"Mr. Lu, you are joking. Vacheron Constantin 57260 has only 2 yuan so far. One belongs to the Middle East royal family. Even if they want to sell it, they will not choose our auction. There is another one, which is in the hands of Mr. Lu."
It is worthy of being Sotheby's Auction. Even if it is professional, just a piece of Vacheron Constantin 57260 can guess Lu Zijian's identity so quickly.
"I just want to ask, is it time to go?"
"This, sorry, Mr. Lu, let's just ask, do you need money in urgent need? If so, Sotheby's can buy your Vacheron Constantin 57260 for 8 million pounds."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zijian sneered, "Yes, this is to hit him."
Although the price is fair, there is no random price reduction.
Lu Zijian bought Vacheron Constantin 57260 for £6 million, and now Sotheby's has paid 8 million.
In 2 weeks, the appreciation was 2 million, which is already very impressive.
However, if you really give it to the auction, the price will be much more than that.
"Sorry, if I can't arrange it, I can find another home."
Vacheron Constantin 57260 has no worries about not having an auction house. After all, this is a win-win situation.
Auction houses can also increase their influence through Vacheron Constantin 57260.
Even Sotheby's has its own competitors.
Not to mention anything else, Christie's alone has already made Sotheby's breathless.
Moreover, Christie's has always been pushing Sotheby's.
What is Vacheron Constantin 57260? It is recognized as the 21st century king.
If you are listed in your own auction house and in the watch field, you may be better than Christie's.
"Mr. Lu, we are just giving you a solution."
When he heard the unhappy Lu Zijian's tone, the latter immediately realized his mistake.
It’s true that I originally thought that Lu Zijian was anxious to take action because of the shortage of capital chain.
Without thinking, I was so confused that I wanted to make a fortune for my own auction house.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
If I really missed Vacheron Constantin 57260, I guess the position I was in charge would end.
What this person is thinking now is of course to make up for it immediately.
"Mr. Lu, although he was a little hurry to attend the Edinburgh auction a week later, it was not impossible to operate."
Let Lu Zijian stabilize first, everything is easy to discuss.
"When will you be able to send your watch to Edinburgh? We have professional appraisers there. Of course, please rest assured that we will appraise you for free, and we will bear the travel expenses in full."
I like to hear this sentence.
"I will arrive in Edinburgh tomorrow."
"That's great, Mr. Lu, we are waiting for your trip in Edinburgh. We will send the address to your phone in a while."
Sotheby's supervisor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Zijian hung up the phone, he smiled silently, as if he was still too young.
If I showed some hesitation just now, I might get more benefits.
Tsk tsk...It's too late to regret now, but my goal has finally been achieved.
"It's done?" Lu Zijian did not hide Aphrola when he called.
"I didn't expect that Vacheron Constantin 57260, which currently has only two parts in the world, has one part in your hands."
Although Vacheron Constantin 57260 is not very interested in clocks.
It does not mean that Vacheron Constantin 57260 does not know how to do it.
As a world-class white and rich beauty, Avrola has a very good understanding of the top luxury.
"Interested? I can sell it to you directly."
"How many?"
"How about 10 million?" The price offered by Lu Zijian is not outrageous.
At auction, it will definitely not be lower than this number.
Although Vacheron Constantin 57260 claims to be 5 yuan.
However, it will take only 10 years to achieve a speed, and you will have to wait until after 10 next time.
Moreover, who can guarantee that these three top watchmakers can survive 10 years?
