Are these the only people here? Can't you get some more people to come over? It's almost midnight. He glanced at his watch, then looked around him because he didn't sleep last night, and he already felt a little tired tonight. Aphra and the others, Jiang Hai said impatiently, and upon hearing his words, the person in charge opposite couldn't help but smile in embarrassment.

After Jiang Hai's ship arrived at the dock, Jiang Hai took these things and got into the escort vehicle arranged by Phillips. Of course, there was also Moses Adams who had been waiting here for a long time.

The group of people quickly arrived at Phillips' office in Miami, and then the experts who had been prepared by the person in charge came into use. But unfortunately, he underestimated Jiang Hai's treasures.

He only prepared six experts, and it would take more than ten minutes, or even half a year and more than half an hour for an expert to identify the authenticity of an item. After all, these things are very valuable, just in case something happens. If they were mistaken, they would be the losers, so they had to deal with it carefully, starting from when Jiang Hai and the others arrived here at around seven o'clock in the evening.

Until now, it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night without realizing it. These people still only counted about half of the things, and half of the things were still untouched, especially the most critical thing, the suit of armor.

He had been awake for almost two consecutive days. Although Jiang Hai's body structure could not be said to be unbearable, sleepiness was unavoidable.

I couldn't help but yawn, and said helplessly to the person in charge in front of me.

I'll take care of it right away. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the person in charge complained a little in his heart that Jiang Hai had brought so many things, but he would not say so. After all, these things can all be created for the auction house. Of wealth.

Don't look at that piece of armor with a big head. But in fact, the money that can be earned at auction for that piece of armor is not much.

It's more about building a reputation. The only thing they can ask for is the commission after the auction. But in order to win over Jiang Hai, a big customer, the original commission was 10%. It has been reduced to 3%. One hundred million will only earn 30,000, and one billion will only earn 300,000. It is indeed not much. They are more just to make money.

But if these jewelry, gold, and silver coins are sold, they will be real money.

The price they gave Jiang Hai was high, no matter how high it was. They also make a profit, even if they earn $100 per gold coin, $10 per silver coin, and $1,000 per gemstone, this large amount of jewelry is enough for them to earn hundreds of millions.

So compared to that pair of armor, they had to be more careful with it.

But just as Jiang Hai said, the progress of six people handling such a large pile of jewelry is indeed too slow.

Not to mention whether they can resist it, he is just waiting here. It’s also extremely tiring.

So after thinking for a while, he went out and found a group of clerks, all of whom were staff members of Phillips' Miami office. The most important thing when they come is to help with the appraisal. Of course, those valuable jewelry and gold coins will not be allowed to get their hands on, but they can help with the silver coins that are generally of reasonable value.

For this reason, they were specially asked to change into clothes without pockets, and then they came over and started to get busy.

The biggest silver coins were distributed, and the remaining people appraised the valuable items, which was indeed much faster.

At five o'clock in the morning. The appraisal of all gold and silver coins was over, and Jiang Hai got a total of 27,665 gold coins this time. Plus 86,742 silver coins, of course. Not all of these gold and silver coins are Spanish.

In fact, coins in Europe have always been very confusing, and there is no clear currency, especially in the Middle Ages in Europe.

From the 14th century to the 16th century, currency in Europe was quite chaotic.

Europe is in such chaos, not to mention the American continent that became their colony.

At the beginning of the 14th century, the princes of the HRE imitated the Lollgros coins and minted Groshen coins, which were considered hard currency at the time.

However, France subsequently issued gold coins twice, both of which failed. It was not until the emergence of France's standard gold coin, the Ecu, that it was considered stable and was used until the era of Louis XIV.

Then Britain issued noble gold coins in 1344, which weighed about 8.972 grams and were worth six shillings and eight pence, equivalent to half a mark (gold) and one-third of a pound (silver). However, the promotion was not very good.

The Rhineland princes unified the standard for imitating Rollin coins, collectively called the Rhine shield. However, the shield was very light. It initially only weighed 23 carats. 23 carats is not a gram. Otherwise, if a diamond weighs more than ten carats and is equal to more than ten grams, then The boss.

The conversion unit is five carats equal to one gram. The Rhine shield was 23 grams and one-half carat in the early stage and nineteen carats in the later period.

It is converted into a gram, which is about four grams. For pirates, such a large gold coin is indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

In addition to Spanish gold coins, the most gold coins in Jiang Hai are gold coins from the Golden Eju and British nobles.

Basically each one weighs nearly ten grams, so these gold coins are quite valuable.

Although they are not all Spanish gold coins, they are of similar age and weight, so the value is naturally not much different.

According to the instructions given by the auction house leader, the person in charge still came based on the last transaction price.

Gold coins cost US$1,000 each, and silver coins cost US$350 each. Added together, these more than 110,000 gold and silver coins weighing more than a ton are worth a total of US$58,024,700, more than US$50 million, although they are not special. It's a lot, but it also meets Jiang Hai's requirements.

At least as soon as the money came out, his savings increased again, and the most important thing was that the gems had not been identified yet. With the money as a foundation, Jiang Hai's spirit became much better.

Unknowingly, the Miami sun shone on this land until about nine o'clock in the morning. When Aphra and others, who had already slept in a daze, started to move their bodies that were a little sore from sleeping. By that time, the last gemstone had finally been identified. Following the appraiser over there, the forms were handed over to the person in charge. The person in charge also did some rough calculations in his mind, and then The eyes that looked at Jiang Hai were a little surprised.

What? Something is wrong? Da Ma Jin Dao leaned back on the sofa and Jiang Hai looked at the person in charge in front of him and said.

Of course not, everything is correct, but this is really a lot of money. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the person in charge here shook his head, walked to Jiang Hai, and handed over the six forms. Jiang Hai's hands.

These six tables were made by those six people. Every time they read something, they would write down a series of numbers on it. This is their valuation. Basically, it is impossible for the auction house to do a loss-making transaction, so they will all press The price above is used as an estimate to buy.

Although they didn't know where Jiang Hai got these things from, it didn't stop them from taking them in.

After taking the form in front of him, Jiang Hai also started to read it. When he saw the first form, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

A pigeon's blood ruby, net weight 41.5 carats, estimated to be between 1600-1650, other items: none, just a necklace pendant, estimated price: 183350-192275.

A golden-green cat's eye, net weight 37.84 carats, estimated to be 1600-1650, other items: a string of natural pearl necklaces, estimated price: 156700-158900....

Looking at the numbers on these things, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be happy. There were not only rubies, emeralds, sapphires, topaz, but also a lot of cat's eyes (chrysoberyl), etc., and even ivory and coral products.

Jiang Hai didn't quite understand these things, but he could clearly see the estimated price at the back. Even if all calculations were based on the lowest price, he still made a lot of money this time. What was written on the six tables were almost the same. And Jiang Hai also calculated the prices of these things in his mind, which made his heart skip a beat.

Sure enough, in a pirate ship like this, the gold and silver coins are just small heads, and the real value is the jewelry.

I won't quote you the lowest price for these jewels. Let's take a round number. The gold and silver coins here are considered to be 58 million, and my final quote for these jewels is 200 million. Forty-two million, let’s just raise 300 million, what do you think?” Seeing Jiang Hai put down the things in his hands with satisfaction, the person in charge here, after hesitating for a moment, asked Jiang Hai what they had bought. Enter the price of this batch of jewelry.

Jiang Hai knew that if he auctioned this batch of jewelry, he could at least sell it for another 100 million or more.

But there is one problem, and that is the issue of paying taxes. Also, if he wants to sell these jewelry, he has to pay some commission. Counting the money, he may get 200 million, which is good. Now it is safe. It's quite good to receive 300 million yuan.

No problem, deal. After thinking about it in his mind, Jiang Hai also looked at Moses Adams next to him. After Moses Adams saw Jiang Hai's eyes, he handed over the phone with a series of numbers on it. , which is the estimated price he entrusted.

Two hundred and eighty million, this is what Moses Adams estimated. It is 20 million less than this price. It proves that the other party did not lie to him this time. Moses Adams was serious tonight and did not sleep for a second. , he has been staring at these jewelry, taking photos from time to time, and sending them to antique dealers he knows to estimate the price.

Although it is obviously a bit unethical to do this, this is the United States, and doing this is actually not uncommon here in Phillips.

After not sleeping all night, he is really in good spirits now because he has already been prepared. After all, he just woke up yesterday afternoon. Even if he stared all night, his eyes are just a little red now. (To be continued.)
