The domineering president meets her

"Dingling~"

Wen Heng, who was sitting at the desk, took out his cell phone and answered the call: "Uncle Wang, what's the matter so late?"

"Master, a customer brought a few items to our store as collateral. I think they are in good condition, but for some reason, I raised the price several times and the customer was not satisfied. He insisted that you come to inspect the goods in person."

The Uncle Wang that Wen Heng mentioned is Butler Wang, who is responsible for the pledge and transaction of all the famous items in the Antique City.

Don't worry about small items or small things, just focus on big business.

In addition to precious metals such as gold and platinum, luxury goods pawning also includes luxury watches, luxury bags, diamond rings, jewelry, digital products, and other items, as well as some valuable and rare private collections.

Since he was young, Butler Wang has followed Hu Zi to do various things such as robbing tombs and reselling cultural relics.

Later, he was in big trouble and no one dared to rescue him. It was his grandfather who used all his connections and spent forty "yellow croakers" to rescue his entire family from the dungeon where life was worse than death.

After he was released, he retired from the criminal business and was willing to concentrate on working as a steward in his family's antique city, specifically responsible for handling the transaction of valuables.

He has been doing this business for more than half his life without realizing it. Any fake or defective products cannot escape his sharp eyes. Now that even he says that the quality of the pawned items is good, the quality must be correct.

It’s just that no one knows what this customer came to the store late at night to pawn, and even the knowledgeable butler Wang can’t make up his mind!

"Well, I'll be right there. You go and greet the guests first."

"Okay, Master."

About an hour and a half later.

Wen Heng drove to the store, got out of the car and walked quickly into the store.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Butler Wang, with his hair full of silver strands and shrewd eyes, standing by and accompanying me carefully.

A man was leisurely sitting on a huanghuali wood armchair drinking tea. His leisurely and contented manner and expression were natural and did not seem to be fake. On the tray on the small square tea table was a small-leaf red sandalwood jewelry box with exquisite copper inlay craftsmanship and elegant shape, with shells inlaid on the surface to depict peace and prosperity.

Just by looking at the extremely well-maintained, glossy paint on the jewelry box, you can tell that it is very expensive, and the items inside must be even more rare.

As I got closer, I saw that the woolen casual wear on the man seemed niche.

A closer look reveals that it is actually a pure handmade custom-made piece by Dior. This brand of clothing is different from other famous brands in that it never puts any obvious logos on the clothes, and the words on the label are the only way to identify it.

"Hello, sir. I am Mr. Wen, the person in charge here." Wen Heng politely extended his right hand to greet him, and looked at the other person calmly.

"Sir, what's your surname?"

Wen Heng, who was used to seeing dignitaries at auctions, couldn't guess the other party's identity for a moment, but just from the clothes, he knew that the visitor was either rich or noble.

The person who was drinking tea heard him coming, put down the teacup, stood up politely, and extended his hand to shake his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Wen. I have heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing is believing. Mr. Wen is just as the rumors say. He is handsome and a rare talent. May I ask your last name, Liang?"

This surname Liang is the first time I have heard of it, but now it is important to talk about something.

"Mr. Liang, thank you for your praise. Please take a seat."

Wen Heng remained unmoved by the other party's flattery. He calmly extended his hand to invite the other party to sit down and said, "We are sorry for not welcoming you so late at night. Please forgive us for not welcoming you well.

I just don't know what you came to our store to broaden our horizons and let us see?"

When it comes to business, Wen Heng speaks clearly and concisely.

If Butler Wang hadn't said that the other party was in a hurry to pawn the item and was not satisfied with the price offered, he would not have wanted to come here at all. He originally wanted to go to the hospital to see the person in the ward!

I just don’t understand why the other party is not satisfied with the price offered by my store.

Then he would travel all over the golden new development zone, and even the imperial capital, and he would never find a satisfactory price.

"Mr. Wen, you are so polite. I should be the one to ask for your forgiveness for disturbing your store so late at night." Mr. Liang reacted very quickly.

"It's just that there was an emergency at home and I needed money urgently, so I cleared out these collections that I don't like very much. I want to see if Mr. Wen is willing to accept them?"

"Oh? I see! Then can I see the things you want to pawn first?"

"Of course, if I can't even trust Mr. Wen, who else can I trust? Please!" Mr. Liang made an inviting gesture.

"Thank you for your trust, follow me!" Wen Heng also politely made an invitation gesture.

Butler Wang held the box on the tray steadily, not daring to make a sound, and followed Wen Heng to a studio not far away where the jewelry was being inspected.

Before the jewelry is inspected, the goods cannot leave the original owner's sight and must be followed closely to avoid unnecessary disputes;

Before and after the transaction is completed, the items cannot leave the store owner's sight and must be placed close to the store owner in the safe to avoid being unexpectedly swapped by the customer.

The losses caused by this could be a disaster for the pawnshop.

Arriving at the inspection workbench, the two sat down in an orderly manner.

Wen Heng turned on the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and the UV lamp; butler Wang quickly handed the two of them the non-slip black gloves that were used to inspect jewelry.

"Sir, are you ready? If you are, we will start now." Wen Heng spoke softly, slowing down his speech.

Slow speaking can calm customers' nervousness and facilitate subsequent transactions.

"No problem, go ahead."

After listening to the customer's answer, Wen Heng slowly opened the small-leaf red sandalwood jewelry box full of time stories.

This is……

Wen Heng narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Isn’t this the long-lost emerald set worn by the Duchess of Windsorina that was previously sold at auction?

I had the opportunity to see it in my tutor’s jewelry collection when I was in college.

According to legend, it was secretly bought by a mysterious richest man and disappeared from the public eye for half a century.

How did he appear in Mr. Liang's hands now? What is his connection with the mysterious richest man?

More than a hundred years ago, Duchess Windsorina was a legendary figure. She was a warrior and a beautiful lady! She loved high-end fashion jewelry. It can be said that she was the most influential person in the fashion industry at that time.

This set of emerald jewelry was specially customized for her preference by her fiancé at that time at a huge cost in order to win her heart.

A custom-made dual-purpose necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels.

It is said that the largest teardrop emerald in the center weighs 50 carats, and the remaining 52 pear-shaped emeralds weigh a total of 670 carats! The middle part can be removed to make a brooch, and it is said that its origin can be traced back to Alfonso XIII of Spain!

A Cartier cheetah bracelet.

The leopard's eyes are inlaid with natural pigeon blood rubies of about 1 carat, its body is paved with broken diamonds, and the bracelet is made of luxurious emerald as the base.

One of them is a custom-made ring by Cartier.

Precious ingredients do not require complicated cooking methods. This gem as big as a rock sugar grain is simply inlaid with a simple craftsmanship, but it is still more beautiful than others.

It is estimated that the weight of the gemstone in this ring is about 20 grams, and the selling price at the auction that year was 47 US dollars!

This was the price a century ago!
