Happy Little Mayor

"Less than 30 years old, what's wrong, this affects the price of antiques?" Wang Bo asked in amazement.

Adams laughed: "Of course not. I ask your age to determine if you are the youngest billionaire I know! No doubt you are such a guy!"

After listening to this, Wang Bo's lingering heart finally let go. He said with a grin, "So, Mr. President, what do I mean, these things are worth more than $ 100 million?"

"perhaps!"

Adams conservatively answered an answer, and then introduced these antiques.

Because he thought that these antiques were brought out by Wang Bo, the other party should know their information, so he did not introduce the identity of the antiques, but directly introduced the estimated price.

What surprised Wang Bo was that, of the dozen or so antiques, the most valuable was not that set of porcelain, nor the statue of gold and silver, but the gold pocket watch that looked very delicate.

"The estimated price of this Patek Philippe's legendary pocket watch is about $ 30 million, or higher, depending on our publicity efforts. This set of Indian Mughal jewellery is secondarily worth 15 million Price around ... "

After listening to Adams' introduction, Wang Bo asked with a little surprise: "This pocket watch is so valuable? Is it more valuable than this gold and silver statue?"

Adams said: "Maybe you don't know the identity of this pocket watch?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, I always thought it was an ordinary gold watch. How could it be so valuable?"

Adams carefully picked up the gold pocket watch and said, "Look at the time above, and there are other things in the dial."

Wang Bo glanced: "It's 8:40 in the evening, isn't it? No problem at all, my cellphone also reports this time."

Adams smirked: "Wrong, the problem lies here! Wesker said that it stopped working when you took out this pocket watch. Was it right that he re-winded in the morning?"

"Correct."

"That is to say, I don't know how long this pocket watch hasn't been used, and it still works normally. At least it has been running for 12 hours now. It doesn't have a time error. Don't you think it's great?"

Wang Bo wanted to speak, Adams did not give him a chance, and continued to explain: "Do you know how long this watch was born? 120 years, it is a work from two centuries ago!"

"But this is not its most valuable place. Its real value lies in its legend. First, according to the" Swiss Legendary Watch Book ", this pocket watch is only one, it is a legendary existence!"

This Wang Bo knows that any antique auction must follow the rule of "things are rare", as are antique clocks and watches that are art treasures.

Among them, in antiques, the value of orphan products is the greatest. Even if there are two identical authentic products, they are often destroyed in various ways. The so-called orphan products are created artificially to achieve the maximum value of antiques. value.

"Second is the function. The function of this pocket watch is unique in history. It is not only able to use time to watch time, it is also equipped with complex functions such as perpetual calendar, moon phase, three questions. In addition, if you look at the largest sub plate, you think it What does it look like? "Adams asked with interest.

There are five sub-dials in the dial of the pocket watch, the largest of which is in the middle. The background of the site is blue, and it is inlaid with broken diamonds, which looks particularly beautiful.

Wang Bo had already studied it, and he asked tentatively, "A bit like a starry sky?"

"Yes, it is the starry sky. This is the night sky star map of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the first time to add a star map to a pocket watch in the history of Patek Philippe. In order to achieve this complex function, this pocket watch has a total of more than 900 parts. This is incredible! "

"Do you know how long it took Patek Philippe's best watchmaker to make this pocket watch? Five years, five years!" Adams couldn't help but sigh.

For the modern watchmaking industry, almost no one is willing to spend five years making a pocket watch. From this point, this legendary pocket watch is also a solitary one.

And this is not over yet, Adams continued to introduce: "This watch is called a legendary pocket watch, do you know why there is such a name?"

Wang Bo shook his head, and Adams laughed: "Because it has experienced the hands of three legends since the day of its birth-the Duke of Edinburgh, the American steel giant, and the Queen of Qatar. It accompanies all three of them no less than four In 2003, all three died in their fourth year of possession. It was later said that it was considered an unknown watch by the Qatari royal family and was destroyed after the death of the prince. I did not expect it to exist! "

Introduced here, Adams himself was very excited, he shook his head and said: "Damn, why am I so poor? If I have enough money, I will definitely collect this pocket watch, it is simply a legend in the collection industry!"

Charlie pulled Wang Bo and whispered, "I suggest you stop selling this pocket watch and keep it for yourself."

Pharaoh laughed and collected a fart. He is a rough man and has no arty interest.

Adams introduced the antiques one by one. The reason why these antiques can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars is mainly because of the price increase of pocket watches and jewelry. Together, they can reach about 45 million.

Secondly, two very Indian-style gold statues are also more valuable, and each can reach a high price of tens of millions of dollars. In addition, two ivory pistols, jade snuff bottles, silver carvings, and wooden canes can reach a price of about 30 million yuan.

On the contrary, Wang Bo's favorite set of porcelain tableware has the lowest value, and the eight pieces are only valued at about two million yuan.

Adams explained to him that this set of porcelain is Japanese bone china. According to the initial carbon fourteen inspection, the time of its existence is about one and a half centuries. It has the cherry blossom mark of the Japanese royal family on it, which should be the special tableware of the royal family at that time.

After listening to this introduction, Wang Bo was confused. "This set of porcelain has been around for a long time. It is still a royal appliance. It shouldn't be this low price."

Adams smiled bitterly and said, "You may know that countries around the world have different attitudes towards antiques lost in history. Most countries have patriots to buy them back. In fact, the prices of these antiques are mainly driven by these people. "

Wang Bo nodded, he understood the rule.

Adams also said: "The Japanese are very savvy. Their governments, merchants, and chaebols never deliberately repurchase antiques in their country, so the price of Japanese antiques is the lowest. To be honest, Wang, if this set of tableware belongs to the royal family of your country, The price can be increased by five hundred to ten million, but it belongs to the Japanese royal family, and it is not worth it. "

Wang Bo froze for a long time before he came up with a sentence: "Fack, the dog-Japanese!"
