Darren's next words, especially the quotation for this silver jug, made Jin Muchen stunned for a while. www.geiliwx.com
2.5-3 million pounds, although the pound has depreciated a lot now, but if it is converted into RMB, this is equivalent to about 25 million to 30 million RMB.
This leak is really too big! !
Now the domestic antique market is already very popular. It is not uncommon to see antiques with millions of dollars, but it is not very common to find tens of millions.
And our domestic antiques, such as the most popular porcelain, if they are of the opposite age and in good condition, they can easily sell for tens of millions of dollars. In the eyes of many Chinese, this is already a very impressive price.
But in fact, compared to the international antique industry, this price is really nothing.
In the impression of our Chinese people, it seems that antiques have always been the pride of our Chinese people. As long as our Chinese antiques are good, they seem to be very valuable, but in fact, in the international antiques industry, Chinese antiques are just a major item.
In fact, the price of many European and American antiques is not lower than the price of our Chinese antiques, such as the silver jug in front of me, or the pair of celestial globes and globes in my home, or the three Seffler vases. There are porcelains from KPM in Germany. In fact, if you take out any one, you can easily shoot for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.
This is not to mention the kings of European and American antiques, those precious oil paintings, you must know that those paintings are often calculated at a price of more than 100 million US dollars.
So in fact, we really don’t need to be too proud. In this world, there are many things that are more valuable than our Chinese antiques, so as an antique practitioner, you really need to learn to open your eyes to the world instead of staying in a small circle of your own. Li Yelang is arrogant.
Jin Muchen hadn't digested the shock brought by the silver jug in front of him, but at this time Darren in front of him grumbled: "Mr. Jin. I don't know about this jug, do you have it? Have no intention of making a move?"
"Um?"
Hearing the old man's question, Jin Muchen was also taken aback.
"Mr. Jin, you also know. Our family used to be in the antique silverware business. Although I have switched to the jewelry business now, this silver jug has a very different meaning to our family. After all, it has some origins in our family. So if you want to sell it, I'd love to buy it."
"Oh! I'm sorry. Mr. Wilby, I like this jug very much myself. I have no intention to shoot it yet, but don't worry, if I want to shoot it, I will definitely contact you as soon as possible. "
What a joke, we are not short of money now, and more importantly, in this world, no currency can be trusted. Both the euro and the pound are depreciating, a strong dollar is also a false fire, not to mention the renminbi.
When there is no shortage of money, what does Lao Tzu do with so many banknotes, it is the most cost-effective to keep this treasure in his own hands.
Jin Muchen shook his head like a rattle, and directly rejected Darren's temptation. Darren was very disappointed, but he still returned the bottle to Jin Muchen with grace.
"However, Mr. Wilby. Don't be angry. In fact, I didn't come here today for this jug. I have another purpose in my trip."
Hearing Jin Muchen say this, this is Darren. Wilby's eyes lit up. As an old businessman, he has already heard another taste in Jin Muchen's words.
"Then is there anything I can do to help you? If you need diamonds, I've got a lot of good stuff here."
Darren smiled and winked at Jin Muchen, but couldn't take the silver jug, but it would be nice if he could expand a new client.
"Haha. Darren, I'm not very interested in these modern diamond jewelry."
Hearing what Jin Muchen said, Darren was stunned again, but what Jin Muchen said next made him smile.
"However, I heard that you are an expert in antique jewelry. I just wanted to buy some antique jewelry recently. I don't know Darren, do you have any good introduction?"
"Aha, that's it! Yes, of course there is! But my antique jewelry collection is not here, we have to talk somewhere else."
After Darren finished speaking, he simply closed the stall, and then left the New York Diamond Dealers Club with Jin Muchen. After leaving the building, he did not go far before entering a bottom shop on the first floor below another building.
The plaque of this shop reads Wilby Antique Jewelry. It is very large. Because it is on 47th Street with many buildings, the lighting is not very good. It looks very dim inside. The solemn and vigorous shops decorated by the home bring a mysterious taste.
The person in charge of the store is an old lady who is about the same age as Darren. She is very happy to see Darren back.
"Haney, why did you come back so early today?"
The old woman came forward and gave Darren a hug, Darren pointed his finger at Jin Muchen, and said with a smile, "This is Lao Fang's nephew, he wants to pick out some antique jewelry, so I took him over to have a look. ."
"Oh! Is it, wow! What a handsome lad, hello, I'm Darren's wife, Shelly. Wilby."
"Hello, Mrs. Wilby, I'm Jin Muchen, nice to meet you. Wow, you are so beautiful, Darren mentioned you a lot to me on the way back, but after seeing you, I feel Lun and I lied, and his compliments are nothing compared to the ten thousandths of seeing you in person."
Jin Muchen used exaggerated flattery to flatter the old lady. It doesn't matter how old you are, whether you are beautiful or ugly, Chinese or foreigners, as long as you are a woman, you will definitely eat this set.
Sure enough, Jin Muchen just said this lightly, and the old lady who looked vulgar in gold and silver was happy.
"Haha, young man, have you smeared honey on your mouth? How can you speak so sweetly? There are not many young people who can talk and be polite like you, child, are you hungry? Do you want to eat? Order something, wait, I'll prepare it for you."
Although she knew that Jin Muchen was deliberately flattering, Mrs. Wilby was still very happy. She couldn't think of any better way to repay the reputation of this young man. She directly showed her most proud cooking skills. Then, without waiting for Jin Muchen to decline, he went to the back to get food.
Darren, who was standing on the side, looked at his wife with a wry smile on his face, then turned to look at Jin Muchen and said, "Okay, young man, I have to admit that you are really good at pleasing women. You know I Does Shelly say something to me every day when I come home? Come back darling? There's bread and milk in the kitchen refrigerator, you're hungry, go get yourself something to eat... **, she's like this today Going to lunch with enthusiasm, that was thirty years ago..."
Darren's words made Jin Muchen laugh, with a bit of self-deprecation and British humor in these words, which made the atmosphere in the room a lot more relaxed.
"Okay, let's take advantage of this time, let's take a look at antique jewelry, what do you like?"
"Well, I'm also entrusted. You can take out the good stuff. If the style is good, I don't mind buying a few more sets."
Darren gave him a thumbs up, and then without talking nonsense, he got behind the counter and fiddled with the counter for a while, and then a few sets of antique jewelry were pushed in front of Jin Muchencai.
Just seeing this set of things in front of her made Jin Muchen hold her breath, because this set of things in front of her was really beautiful.
The largest is a bracelet made of gold, enamel and diamonds. The inner layer of this bracelet is made of gold, and the outer layer is inlaid with a circle of sea blue enamel. At the clasp, there are also three diamond pendants.
The workmanship of the whole bracelet can be described as perfect. It is beautiful and stunning, which is how Jin Muchen feels now. To be honest, in terms of antique jewelry, it has never been the strength of Chinese antiques.
Europeans with richer imaginations have always been the trendsetters leading the trend in this circle.
Not to mention the design of this bracelet, the material used is much stronger than the Chinese antique jewelry that is usually made of gold and jade. Although Jin Muchen doesn't want to show weakness, he must admit it.
The other pieces are a gold lion pendant, a black butterfly brooch, and two flower-shaped earrings.
The gold lion pendant~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The lion is not very big, it is made of gold, enamel and pearls, but the workmanship is very fine, and the lion's head and face are carved lifelike.
And the black butterfly brooch is very beautiful. On a black butterfly-shaped agate, gold, turquoise, and pearls are used to inlay it to create the outline of the body and head of the butterfly. The overall shape It can be said that the imagination is very prominent, and just looking at it already makes people feel a kind of love.
And the other two flower-shaped earrings are even more incredible, the flower diameter made of platinum, the green leaves made of green enamel, and then the buds made of platinum are inlaid with broken diamonds, and in the middle of the blooming buds, one by one White flowers carved from pure opal.
Whether in terms of workmanship or creativity, it is the kind of masterpiece that leaves people speechless, or even jaw-dropping.
Jin Muchen also knew that the old man Darren was doing well in the field of antique jewelry, but he never thought that the old man would have such a beautiful collection of masterpieces as soon as he shot.
The jewels in front of them can no longer be described by jewelry alone. They are masterpieces of art. Just the imagination of designing and making these jewels makes Jin Muchen feel very shocked. (To be continued.)
