Chapter 62 As long as you give money, you can sell it!
Borrow chickens and lay eggs!
I have long heard of what collections of these large auction houses like to use for the most. The dust treasures of a certain noble family are used as gimmicks to promote them, and to "package" some antiques with incorrect origins or simply fakes. Unexpectedly, the other party actually put his ideas on himself.
In recent years, many antique dealers and collectors have been keen to go overseas to "Taobao" and "picking up bargains". With the popularity of Celestial Arts overseas, the birth of sky-high prices has also allowed foreigners to understand the value of ancient Chinese art. This has also caused more and more fakes to appear in overseas markets, and even "fake one-stop service" has appeared. "Super high premium" has caused a large number of fakes to flood the overseas market. It was made from Celestial Arts and then transformed into smuggled into overseas markets, with an amazing chain of interest transfer hidden behind it.
And those "overseas treasures" that have been bought with great effort are becoming a nightmare for many people to lose their money. The so-called "national treasures" are actually just ordinary cultural relics and even fakes wrapped in dazzling bubbles. The "thunder" buried by various people are waiting for the Tian Dynasty buyers to detonate...
You should know that truly valuable antiques are traded in a small circle on the upper level of the pyramid.
"Do you want me to trade the reputation and glory of the family?" Arthur restrained the smile on his face, looked at the increasingly awkward and helpless person in charge of the auction house with cold eyes.
"No, no, respected Count Arthur, don't get me wrong. We have absolutely no intention of slandering your family's reputation and glory." The person in charge of the auction house changed his face and hurriedly explained, "In this special Asian autumn auction held by HK, there are several items that require an "identity". Of course, we can guarantee that it is not a fake."
"Haha, the value of an antique of unknown origin and an antique with an orderly inheritance are worlds different, with a 5% discount. Haha, it is indeed a big auction house, but you are too cheap to see the Bolin family?"
Arthur's eyes flashed with a sharp sneer, "My collection will be welcome to any auction house, what do you think?"
"Of course, of course, don't get me wrong. We are not despising you. Otherwise, our auction house will exempt you from all commissions. You can do it as long as you don't admit it or deny it. How about it?"
After hearing this, Arthur didn't understand. The Great Vader Auction House had planned to use him from the beginning. Although the overseas art market has been very mature and perfected after hundreds of years of exploration and practice, this is only in the system. The system ensures that the auction houses have secretly hyped and the space for favoritism and fraud is very small, but the system cannot curb people's greed, and the system cannot automatically generate high-level appraisers. Of course, from the perspective of ratio, their fake shooting situation is much higher than fake shooting, while in some countries, the ratio of fake shooting and fake shooting is high.
"Two pieces, each other that requires endorsement, £50,000!"
"This price is absolutely impossible. If it is this price, there are many ways to do it. 10,000 pounds per piece. This is the market price. If it is higher, then we can only find another way..."
Arthur did not expect that a lion who followed the trend would really bite the meat. This was a surprise. As for whether it would damage the reputation and glory of the Bolin family, Arthur did not think it would damage it. Of course, the auction house must promise that those lots were not fake.
"Twenty thousand per piece, our Bolin family has inherited the reputation and glory bonus of 800 years, which is absolutely worth the money!"
"...Okay, happy cooperation!" The other party pondered for a while, his expression kept changing. Finally, he had no choice but to let go, reached out to hold Arthur and said sincerely: "Dear Count Arthur, you are a master of negotiation!"
"You will get more, right?" Arthur just smiled slightly. In fact, he was really a little excited in his heart. Unexpectedly, he really succeeded in selling.
"There are five items in total, and they need 'identity'. They are definitely genuine. We will pay you 60,000 pounds. Once the auction is successful, the money will be transferred to your account together with your collection auction money..."
"no, these 60,000 must be entered into my account first. Whether the shot is successful or not, these five items have been marked as the "Boling Family". This is indescribable. What do you think?" Arthur's eyes flashed with a smile.
"This... I need to call to report, please wait."
"Please"
Arthur smiled and reached out to signal, and after watching the other party nodded, he took out his cell phone and turned to walk aside. He couldn't help but look back at the other people who were registering for the packing. Paul, the housekeeper who was seriously supervising the whole process, seemed to feel something. He looked up at Arthur. Arthur smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
The time was short, and the person in charge of the auction house walked back, with a helpless smile on his face and said to Arthur: "Okay, lord, we agreed to your request, and we will cooperate happily."
"Happy cooperation!" Arthur did not show much happiness, but just smiled calmly and reached out to shake hands. He still had this restraint. Isn't it just pretending to be 13 without changing his face? Even if he was very happy in his heart for making 60,000 pounds easily.
An hour and a half later, Arthur's fingers signing on a large stack of documents were a little sore, and the handover was officially completed. He personally took the butler Paul to deliver the people and all the packed classics into the car, watching the car go away.
"Lord, I still feel a little unreal now. I didn't expect that those things were worth 20,000 pounds..."
Arthur heard the trembling tone of the butler Paul, and couldn't help laughing happily, exhaled a slight breath, and looked at the beautiful scenery of the manor from afar, and said in a very decent manner: "I will support the burden of the family, and you will see the Bolin family restore the glory of the nobles and shine in Britain again!"
"This is my honor!" The housekeeper Paul stroked the bear with one hand and bowed slightly.
"Hehe, thank you, Paul, to be honest, I really couldn't imagine it without you..." Arthur turned around and looked at the excited butler, reached out and patted his arm, sighing sincerely.
"Willing to serve you!"
"Haha." Arthur laughed happily, reached out to wrap his hand around Paul, the butler who had recovered a calm and elegant smile, and walked side by side into the castle regardless of etiquette.
"This matter has come to an end. Next is to prepare to welcome the people from Du TV station and the people from the bank... Haha, I love autumn, the golden harvest, the heavy fruits, and the laughter and joy that makes people return home with a lot of laughter and joy!"
