Three hundred and fortieth chapters made a fortune
After listening to Lu Shouyue's brief introduction to his auction house, Lin Wanwan ran upstairs with a "dong dong dong" sound, and Lu Shouyue followed closely.
Lin Wanwan went straight into the room, took out the wooden box from her backpack and handed it to Lu Shouyue: "Here, Teacher Lu, you have good eyesight, help me take a look."
Lu Shouyue took the wooden box, put it in his hand, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this thing in the backpack?
That day I got the backpack sent by the hotel manager. Although he didn't open it, he still had the general feeling that there was such a gloomy nanmu box inside?
"Wanwan, this wooden box is pretty good. Where did you get it?"
Lin Wanwan's eyes widened slightly, and she asked curiously: "Why, is this wooden box special? I used to go shopping in the countryside during my college summer vacation, and I met a family who used this thing to store Buddhist scriptures. I felt that the water-rippled wood
The box is quite beautiful, so I spent two hundred to collect it."
Lu Shouyue raised his eyes and looked at her and smiled: "Then you have picked up a big leak. This wood is not ordinary wood, but golden nan. It was suddenly buried in the mud due to earthquakes, floods, mudslides and other natural disasters.
After the interaction of hypoxia, microorganisms, high pressure, etc., and the carbonization process lasting thousands of years, the dark wood is formed, which is also called ebony among the people.
Yin Chen wood is over-carbonized and becomes charcoal, which breaks into pieces when touched. Yin Chen Nan with the quality of this wooden box is already a collector's item.
In ancient times, princes and nobles liked to use this kind of wood to make amulets and other things to ward off evil spirits. It does not decay, fade, or breed insects.
In the past few years, I have sold several Yinnan Nan bracelets in my auction house, with an average price of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per bracelet. I have also bought one. A wooden box like yours might fetch 20,000 to 300,000 yuan.
.”
"Ah, is this wood so valuable?" Lin Wanwan gained new knowledge, took back her wooden box from Lu Shouyue, and looked at it happily several times.
It turned out that she didn’t need to look at the gems. She had already made a lot of money just from the wooden box containing the gems.
After admiring the gloomy nanmu box, Lin Wanwan opened it and handed it to Lu Shouyue, tapped the gems inside and said, "Teacher Lu, what do you think of these gems?"
Lu Shouyue picked up the gem and looked at it carefully for a while. Finally, he held the Alexandrite that had turned red and asked, "Wanwan, will this gem change color? Is the color different during the day and at night?"
Lin Wanwan nodded: "Yes, it is green during the day and turns red at night."
"That seems correct. This is Alexander's cat's eye alexandrite, which is estimated to be about four carats. Cat's eye alexandrite is very popular in the jade collection market. As long as the news is spread, interested collectors will immediately come to hear about it.
Very rare.”
After saying this, Lu Shouyue moved his gaze from the gem to Lin Wanwan's eyes and asked: "Wanwan, such a beautiful and rich cat's eye alexandrite is hard to come by. Do you want to sell it?"
Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment and asked, "Is a piece of this kind worth a price?"
Lu Shouyue replied affirmatively: "It's worth. Generally speaking, it's US$2,000 to US$5,000 per carat. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is.
Previously, other auction houses sold a 23.19-carat Brazilian alexandrite cat's eye with teal green and plum red discoloration effects, which sold for a sky-high price of 11.86 million Hong Kong Island dollars.
The two rough stones in your wooden box are polished and cut. Each of them is probably close to twelve or three carats, so you can imagine their value."
Lin Wanwan was elated when she heard this. It was indeed easy to make money in the Tang Dynasty! She was even happier when she gathered money from foreign friends!
"What about these rubies and sapphires?"
"They are all in good condition. Cat's eye alexandrite is the most valuable, followed by ruby and sapphire. The raw stone depends on the cut. If you trust me, I can help you find a master who cooperates with our auction house to polish it."
Lin Wanwan clapped her hands and her tone changed excitedly: "That's great!"
Then she scratched her head in embarrassment and asked, "Teacher Lu, if I don't want to auction them, but just want to cut them and make them into jewelry and put them away myself, can you provide this service?"
Lu Shouyue smiled and said, "Of course you can. Our auction house can also give you a formal appraisal certificate. If you get tired of playing and want to sell it someday, it will be much more convenient to have a certificate."
Lin Wanwan nodded happily: "Okay, okay! Thank you, Teacher Lu!"
Lu Shouyue looked at Lin Wanwan's cute and money-obsessed face and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub her head and said with a smile, "I told you not to be so polite to me."
"Haha!" Lin Wanwan was so happy that she didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Shouyue's actions.
Knowing that these gems are so valuable, she now wants to hug someone and jump around to celebrate together!
Selling gems is much safer than selling antiques!
If she needs money urgently in the future, she will be more confident!
"Seeing that you are so happy, why don't we have some wine to celebrate?" Lu Shouyue made a request that hinted at caution.
Lin Wanwan thought for a while and shook her head: "Forget it, I won't drink anymore. I drank at dinner, and I'm afraid I'll get drunk if I drink again."
I am a person with a big secret, so I can't get drunk easily, or I will be in danger.
No matter how good Lu Shouyue's character was, Lin Wanwan would never dare to reveal her secret of traveling through time and space.
The human heart cannot withstand temptation, and she does not want to stare into the abyss. The space-time bracelet is a completely different concept from ordinary gemstones. The other party may not be tempted by money, but the time-space bracelet is different.
Lu Shouyue was not disappointed and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will play a song for you."
After saying that, he quickly walked to the Steinway piano placed in the corner of the living room, turned on the strings and played Beethoven's "Für Elise".
Lin Wanwan followed and stood aside to enjoy Lu Shouyue's performance, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.
I have to say that most wealthy people are versatile and well-informed, and ordinary people really can't compare.
Lu Shouyue looked like a prince as he played the piano seriously. Although he was only dressed in casual clothes, he looked radiant.
Boys who can play the piano are really attractive.
After playing the song, Lu Shouyue turned his head and looked at Lin Wanwan: "Wanwan, can you play the piano?"
"I won't."
"Would you like me to teach you?" Lu Shouyue gave up some seats to Lin Wanwan. This piano bench is a super long one. It can accommodate two people without any problem.
Lin Wanwan hesitated for a while and said, "It's difficult to learn."
It takes a lot of time to practice konghou and guqin by yourself. Will you bite off more than you can chew?
"It's not difficult. You have a foundation in music theory and you can pick it up quickly." Lu Shouyue said casually, "There's nothing to do now anyway, it's only seven o'clock."
Well, Lin Wanwan was convinced and sat down next to Lu Shouyue.
Feeling the faint scent of shower gel coming from Lin Wanwan's body, Lu Shouyue was immediately elated and wanted to hug her immediately and make love to her.
Of course, on the surface he has no flaws, he is just an ordinary handsome guy who likes to teach others!
I decided to update at five o'clock in the morning from now on, so that everyone doesn't have to stay up late.
