Chapter 188 I Want It All
Xia Yu has golden fingers on his body, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or not, but if you want to tell whether it is suitable for him, you can immediately understand it as soon as you get started.
After all, the body is the most honest.
He also planned to take this bronze goblet.
In addition, there are several small bronze pieces, such as bronze ornaments and bronze spears, which he also wants to accept.
These are not expensive, and the estimated price is only more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but Xia Yu probably won't use that much.
After reading these bronze ware, it became dark.
At noon, Bai Gaoze asked him to go home for dinner, and his grandmother also called him and asked him to come over for dinner.
As the kindness was hard to stop, Xia Yu nodded and agreed. It was almost time to go there, so it would be better to take a taxi to the Shenwan Villa of Bai Gaoze's family.
Now Bai Gaoze and the others know that Xia Yu and Bai Haoxuan have exactly the same personality and do not like to go to nightclubs.
Bai Haoxuan didn't plan to go home that night. They were annoyed if they said too much, and they were too lazy to urge him to go home or something.
When he arrived, Bai Gaoze had already returned home, and he could have supper when he waited for Bai Hanfei and his wife to come home.
"How did Ayu see this afternoon? Is there anything he likes?" Bai Gaoze asked him when he met.
Xia Yu replied, "I went to the two auction houses to identify them. The orderly circulated things are indeed not bad, but the price is not cheap."
Bai Gaoze smiled and said, "That's how high-quality antique cultural relics are. They won't be cheaper. How about it? Are you going to take pictures?"
Xia Yu nodded, "As long as it is genuine, it's nothing to spend more money, you have to take it all. Grandpa also needs to find someone to help you take it. I will go to another auction house tomorrow to see if I can find other good babies."
"No problem! Just tell me the lot and number you want." Bai Gaoze said that he had helped Xia Yu take advantage of some good things, and there were only a few Yuan blue and white porcelain worth over ten million, knowing that he was not short of money.
Xia Yu wrote it down, and then he also looked through the auction catalog with Bai Gaoze, carefully compared it one by one, and confirmed that there were no omissions or mistakes.
Otherwise, if there is an error during bidding, you will suffer a loss.
It was already 7:30 pm when Bai Hanfei and his wife came back, and Bai Gaoze and Xia Yu had already completed their work.
While having dinner together, Bai Hanfei also told Xia Yu about the batch of gems he brought last time. After he returned to Yuhai, Bai Hanfei contacted him on the phone and online.
Xia Yu still said that he trusted them Bai's jewelry. He also fully understood the difficulties of the jewelry industry now and was not easy. He would not receive the money for selling gems for a while, so Xia Yu was not in a hurry.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for Bai Hanfei and the others. Everyone who runs a company knows how important cash flow is.
Xia Yu was not confused about this at all. He was not a specialist in jewelry and jade.
After dinner, I also studied the bronze ware launched by several other auction houses this autumn auction.
Time is particularly difficult to coordinate. Several large auction houses are crowding in this week for autumn auctions, and the bidding projects are also similar.
There are many auction houses in Harbor City and the competition is fierce.
Bai Gaoze can only take into account what Xia Yu went to see today. If he went to other auction companies to bid for these two internationally renowned auction houses, he would basically have to come forward by himself.
Xia Yu had no good idea. As long as there was something good, he would come out to bid on his own. During the appraisal, he would still have to do it himself.
With auction catalogs, it can save a lot of trouble.
Bai Gaoze also communicated with him about the possibility of which bronzes are genuine.
The several auction houses that Xia Yu is going to tomorrow are all branches of mainland auction houses in Gangcheng. The business that has been expanding in Gangcheng has also held auctions for nearly ten years.
There were many bronze ware they collected for this autumn auction, but they were not so circulated and orderly.
Many of these were collected directly from collectors, and there were no celebrities or catalogs to collect, and there were no auction records.
Therefore, the introduction of these bronzes is much simpler.
Bai Gaoze also said, "You need to be very careful when shooting these bronze ware, and it is the most basic to get the identification in person."
Xia Yu nodded and pointed to a bronze ware on the auction catalogue and said, "If this kind of bronze beast face plug in the Shang Dynasty is genuine, the price should be about 8 million Hong Kong dollars."
"Yes, but this cube is not really big. I remember that the highest-priced bronze cube sold more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in the United States. Although I didn't see the real thing, I was still quite shocking to see the photos." Bai Gaoze said, "No matter what, I will first check the authenticity and then make a decision. Let's take a look together tomorrow?"
"Don't bother grandpa!" Xia Yu said, "It's good for grandpa to do his own business. I'll just go and have a look. If I'm really not sure, I'll ask my grandpa for advice."
He said this, Bai Gaoze didn't force it. It was also said that Xia Yu had basically never failed to buy bronze ware.
After looking at a few bronze ware together, Bai Gaoze also said, "Bronzes with average quality are much less estimated without inscriptions. It feels like this is similar to the normal price in the market. If Ayu likes bronze ware, he can consider these bronzes more."
Xia Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I think so too. The bronzes collected in Yuhai used to be generally not expensive. The bronzes in the port city are relatively free to circulate, and it is normal that the price will be higher."
Bai Gaoze naturally understood that the market conditions in each place were different.
In the mainland, bronze ware trading is not so free, so the price will naturally not be high, so many people try their best to get things sold in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
The bronze ware trading in Port City is not restricted, but the market conditions are still much worse than those in Europe and the United States.
What he just said was that bronzes worth more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars were basically not visible in Hong Kong City.
The bronze ware in Hong Kong City that can be sold for more than tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is already considered a very fine product.
Xia Yu and Bai Gaoze communicated together for a long time before returning to their "luxury mansion" in Qianwan.
After Xia Yu returned to the house, he also cleaned up a little. Bai Yujiao communicated with him online from time to time. After confirming that he was home, he sent a video chat request.
So Xia Yu chatted with her while doing the cleaning.
The girl wanted to laugh when she saw this scene, "Thank you for your hard work, I have to clean myself when I get home so late."
"I'm too lazy to hire someone, I'll be able to clean it up soon." Xia Yu replied, looking at her background, it was in her own boudoir.
"Come on, husband, this won't be too hard!" Bai Yujiao couldn't help laughing.
"It's hard to have a wife cheering up and chatting with her!" Xia Yu said.
"Yeah!" Bai Yujiao nodded vigorously before talking to him about the serious matter, "How did my husband look at the auction house today? Do you have any bronze ware that you like?"
Xia Yu was also very excited to talk about this, "Yes, I'm interested in a lot of things. I have already used the identification of those bronzes that have been passed down in an orderly manner, and they are all genuine."
Bai Yujiao expressed her support, "If my husband likes it, just take a photo!"
"When I went there, I found that there were quite a lot of people paying attention to these bronze ware. I guess the competition will be very fierce by then." Xia Yu said.
"It can be imagined!" Bai Yu said, "We are not short of this money now. At worst, we can spend more to take a photo."
"That's it!" Xia Yu laughed, "My plan is the same as my wife said!"
"According to this situation, if all these pieces are taken, 20 million Hong Kong dollars will probably be a bit overwhelming," said Bai Yujiao.
"Yes! But I don't think it's too different. If you add another five million, you can definitely get these three pieces." Xia Yu also made a prediction, "I went to see another auction house, and there are also several bronze ware worth collecting. The estimation is not high, and I guess you can get them all in less than one million."
"The price of bronze ware in Hong Kong City is still much higher than that in the mainland." Bai Yujiao said, "but this is the most normal. My husband can have a great harvest now."
"That's not all. I plan to go to several other auction houses tomorrow. They have launched a lot of bronze ware, but the authenticity is still to be discussed, and it is not so circulated in an orderly manner."
"Your husband can see it right by himself! The opportunity is rare. Such a large-scale auction only takes two autumn and spring auctions a year." Bai Yujiao said that neither she nor Bai Gaorui could help much. When Xia Yu dragged them to find bronze ware, he finally made the decision on whether he wanted it.
Xia Yu nodded and smiled, "I used to have no money in my pocket, and I didn't dare to buy bronze ware at auction. Now I'm so brave!"
Bai Yujiao was happy, she understood this naturally. Xia Yu really became rich after salvaging Yuan blue and white porcelain.
One piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain is enough to buy many bronzes.
The Qing Dynasty folk kiln porcelain he salvaged before was only tens of thousands of yuan, and the ordinary ones could only be sold for a few thousand yuan. If it really depends on this accumulation, it would take a long time to buy such a bronze ware worth tens of millions.
Of course, life is getting better and better now, and Xia Yu, a relatively expensive hobby, can finally get a certain degree of satisfaction.
After chatting about the serious business, the two of them also said romantic things. Bai Yujiao still didn't forget to flirt with him for a while, telling him not to forget himself. Then she received a video call and asked Xia Yu to do personal hygiene.
Bai Yujiao continued to go to school tomorrow. She also lacked the fun of joining the fun at this autumn auction in Hong Kong City. Even Bai Gaorui did not plan to come to Hong Kong City. I don’t know if it was because the porcelain that Xia Yu took out was scattered or what was going on.
This is exactly what Xia Yu thinks.
He photographed these bronze ware, but he had no intention of taking them out. If he was really absorbed and fused by his body, he would not be able to take them out at all, just like the nine bronze tripods and other bronze ware he had worked hard to get before.
Now that he has money in his hands, he can ask for it all.
