After an hour and a half, Myeongdong Chuanzi carefully checked several aspects and repeatedly checked it several times, and then put the Mingxuande blue and white three-fruit pattern holding pot back into the wooden box.
"Manager Field, it's a genuine product, but before the auction house chooses not to accept this lot, I want to ask this Mr. Li a question." Myeongdongchuan turned his head and looked at Li Yan with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Mr. Ming has something to say, but it doesn't matter." Li Yan looked at him lukewarmly.
Myeongdongchuan said in English: "Dare to ask Mr. Li, do you know the origin of this lot?"
"Of course I know that this Ming Xuande blue-and-white three-fruit design pot comes from the Longjing Palace Museum. It was a genuine product from the Zhu family at that time." Li Yan replied.
Myeongdongchuan followed Li Yan's words and said again: "Mr. Li, as far as I know, there were originally two pieces of this lot in the whole world, but the only one that is intact is the one collected in the Palace Museum. This piece is Ming. There is no trace of damage on the Xuande blue-and-white three-fruit pattern holding pot, and it is genuine. I would like to ask Mr. Li about the origin of this lot."
"Origin? It is clearly written on the certification materials issued by Poly Auction House. You can read it for yourself, and I can tell you that this lot was repaired by a master, but I won't say much about other things. "Li Yan said no more here.
This lot has been restored. Li Yan believes that this point should also be clarified. After all, many regular auction houses would never dare to blatantly put up a country's registered cultural relics for auction.
Without Li Yan, I am afraid that this dilapidated Ming Xuande blue and white three-fruit pattern holding pot would not be able to regain its glory. Of course, he would strictly keep the secret of repairing this lot. After all, there are some things. People with evil minds have heard it, and I am afraid it will have an adverse effect on themselves.
"Repaired?" Myeongdongchuan glanced suspiciously at the wooden box. But he didn't open the wooden box again and took out the Ming Xuande blue and white three-fruit pattern holding pot to continue watching.
In his eyes, even the restored lot could never be so intact, and there is no trace of it. This Mr. Li is afraid of telling lies.
When Field heard that it was genuine, he said to Myeongdong River: "Mr. Ming, since there is the appraisal letter of Longjing Poly Auction House and the auction agreement, we don’t need to ask more about the origin of this lot. Even if it will bear any responsibility, Poly Auction House will bear it, and it has nothing to do with our company."
Since Poly Auction House had previously secured it, Bally Auction House no longer has to bear any responsibilities, as long as it issues another appraisal.
After a pause, Field asked Myeongdong River, "Mr. Ming, what do you think is the market value of this lot?"
As a businessman, Field is more concerned about the value of this lot. It is the tourist season in Las Vegas recently. In a few days, the autumn auction of Bally Auctions will be held.
But because there are not many lots available, Field is very worried as the company's CEO.
"The price of this intact lot may be lower in the Asian market, but in the North American market, the value should be in the range of US$5 million and US$7 million." As an authoritative ceramic cultural relic appraisal expert, Myeongdongchuan said Both Field and Ding Liugen, who was sitting next to Li Yan, heard something shocking.
The market value can reach such a large amount. If you are lucky, the transaction price will definitely exceed the estimated market price. Ding Liugen didn't expect Li Yan to bring such a treasure.
When Field heard what Myeongdongchuan said, the expression on his face suddenly became a bit enthusiastic: "Mr. Lee, let's sign an agreement. Our Barrie auction house will first prepay you a deposit of 3 million U.S. dollars. We will add 5% of the final transaction price as the fee for sending the auction. If you think it is possible, we will sign the agreement now."
Bally’s auction house is quite famous in Las Vegas. Although it suddenly raised 5% of the transaction price, Li Yan agreed after thinking about it: "Well, I hope this thing can Make a good price."
The small auction house is small in size and may not be able to gather the richest buyers, while the Bally auction house has to feel more at ease. Putting this Mingxuande blue and white three-fruited pot in the Bally auction house may be able to get it. A more ideal transaction price, so it is better to sign it.
Li Yan is also now when he needs money, so he can have a platform for cooperation and earn more.
Field, personally prepared the agreement for Li Yan.
After both parties signed the name and date on it, the agreement came into effect, and the speed of the special funds of the Bally Auction House was also quite fast.
In less than twenty minutes, three million U.S. dollars was hit Li Yan's account.
Now that the matter of sending the shoot has been negotiated properly, Li Yan and Ding Liugen don't need to stay here for a long time.
Field personally sent the two out of the company door.
Ding Liugen stopped a taxi, and then sat in the co-pilot's seat and asked Li Yan, "Brother Li, should I go back to the hotel or somewhere else?"
Brother Li can be regarded as posting this time. Ding Liugen also took a few cultural relics and sent them to photograph before, but the value is not as good as Li Yan's Ming Xuande blue and white three-fruit pattern holding pot.
"Is the casino here open during the day?" Li Yan asked.
Li Yan is completely free of sleepiness now. Las Vegas is the city of gambling. Once here, Li Yan would like to visit the largest casino in the city.
"Most of the casinos here are open 24 hours." Ding Liugen said.
He went wherever Li Yan went. Ding Liugen was also afraid of accidents. After all, this is Las Vegas and the tourism industry is very developed, but it cannot conceal the fact that the city has a high crime rate.
"Where is the biggest casino here?" Li Yan asked again.
"Wayne Hotel, Louis Hill, Sun City Club, New Zeka Low Casino, these four casinos are all the most upscale in terms of facilities and facilities, and the conditions are not bad in comparison." Speaking of these four casinos, if it weren't for gambling. Apprentice, I may only feel that these four places may be places for rich people to have fun and entertainment, but for gamblers, Las Vegas is the holy land in their hearts, and these four casinos represent this holy land. Authority and prestige.
After Ding Liugen finished speaking, Li Yan said, "Brother Ding, where do you go most often?"
"Sun City, there are more tricks of gambling, and regardless of status, you can enter the venue as long as you dress appropriately. The most important thing is that the security is very good, and you rarely see windfall incidents in Sun City." Ding Liugen said. Out of my own concerns.
Li Yan heard this and said without hesitation: "Then go to Sun City."
Li Yan doesn't like gambling, but since the destination of this trip is Las Vegas, the casino must be visited.
The taxi driver is a French immigrant and very talkative.
Along the way, I kept talking with Ding Liugen and Li Yanpan.
From the driver's mouth, Li Yan learned about the most famous gambling masters in the casino city of Las Vegas.
To his surprise, there was a Chinese descent among these few master gambling players.
This person is called Jack Ma. In the gambling competition held in Las Vegas last year, he won the title of a new generation of gambling gods in one fell swoop.
Now it can be described as immensely popular.
On the road, people who know him well call him Brother Xiao Ma.
The gambling world is unpredictable and heroes come forth in large numbers. It is also possible to win a lot of money on the front foot, but lose money on the back foot.
Ding Liugen, the former Jiangnan gambling king, was very unfamiliar with the name of Brother Xiao Ma, but when he heard the driver spit and marvel at the luck and assets of Brother Xiao Ma, Ding Liugen had to sigh. Later, the first wave was pushed forward, and the generation was stronger than the generation.
Arriving in Sun City, Li Yan and Ding Liugen both got out of the car.
I saw this huge, seventy-two-story behemoth in front of me.
Li Yan had to admire in his heart, this Las Vegas is worthy of the holy land in the eyes of gamblers, and this Sun City is worthy of the rumored reputation.
"Let's go, Brother Li, let's go in. As a tourist, you can come and go from the first floor to the third floor at will." Ding Liugen spoke to Li Yan when he revisited the old place.
