It is impossible for Zhu Yu to look back for James, this person is too greedy.
Zhu Yu plans to try his luck with Smith.
Even if Smith can't afford these gold coins, he might be able to introduce himself to a suitable channel.
Now these gold coins, including those gold and silverware, are all in Zhu Yu's space.
And the nanmu box and its contents.
Zhu Yu planned to keep this thing as a family heirloom.
When he arrived at the mall, he saw Smith appraising things on the counter, and Zhu Yu walked over.
"...This is a jewelry box from more than 20 years ago. It is not as old as you said. Believe me, it is no more than thirty years at most."
After Smith finished speaking, the person who took the item obviously didn't believe it, but he finally asked the price.
"How much money can be sold?"
"Because there is one missing gemstone, the price is not high, about three hundred dollars."
The owner thought about it and finally decided to sell it.
After paying, Smith smiled and said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, are there any good things again?"
The more than one hundred Morgan gold coins last time made Smith a lot of money, so he was very polite to Zhu Yu.
"There are good things." Zhu Yu took out a pirate gold coin and placed it on the table.
"Huh?" Smith picked up the gold coin and looked at it carefully, and then his expression became serious.
"Is this privately minted...pirate gold coin?"
He looked up at Zhu Yu. Although he was asking for confirmation, his tone was generally affirmative.
"Yes." Zhu Yu somewhat admires this Smith. Can you tell at a glance?
Smith saw Zhu Yu's confusion and explained with a smile:
"The gold coin still exudes a faint salty smell, which is the most important feature. In addition, although the pattern on the gold coin is modeled after a lake, it looks like the logo of a former pirate king. I have collected similar things, so Remember."
The image on the gold coin is a molded iron anchor with a scimitar inserted at a 45-degree angle.
On the back is a figure wearing a captain's hat.
Call it simple, it has everything you need.
It may be said that they are formal, but these patterns are very rough, and it is obvious that they are not made by a regular mint.
No wonder Smith recognized it instantly.
"How much can that one cost?"
"Although the gold content of this gold coin is not as good as that of regular gold coins, it is more important. And some people still want to collect such gold coins. How many do you have? If you only have this one, I will give you one thousand two hundred dollars..."
"More than two thousand."
"What?" Smith exclaimed, "So much? Did you take out the pirate treasure?"
"Almost." Zhu Yu whispered, "Please keep it a secret."
"I understand, I understand." Smith played with the gold coins in his hand and suddenly asked:
"Is there something else?"
"have."
"Then...can I take a look?"
Zhu Yu nodded and said:
"I'll go get it from the car - watch it in there?"
"good."
Zhu Yu turned around and went out. When he came back, he held two bags in his hands and followed Smith into the inner room.
Looking at a silver candlestick and a gold bowl that Zhu Yu took out, Smith picked up the candlestick and looked at it carefully.
"This should be something used by British noble families in the seventeenth century."
Zhu Yu nodded.
"Is there a lot of stuff?" Smith asked.
"There are some." Zhu Yu said coquettishly, he couldn't reveal everything.
Smith thought for a while and said:
"The amount of gold coins is too large. I can't give you one thousand two hundred dollars. If I take them all, it will only be one thousand dollars.
I need to see these things before I can estimate them. For example, this candlestick costs three thousand dollars. This golden bowl, I weigh... forty-one thousand dollars. "
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"let me consider it."
Smith pushed the gold coins, gold bowl and candlestick to Zhu Yu:
"Yes, but it shouldn't take too long. After all, I need time to mobilize so much funds."
After leaving the mall, Zhu Yu returned to the villa.
He thought that Zhu Dajiang must have done something similar, and there must be sales channels.
Cathy most likely knows this channel.
Sure enough, when Zhu Yu gave Cathy the gold coin, not only was she not surprised, she was actually a little surprised!
"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Dajiang did have a channel to sell similar things, but I have to make a call to confirm whether this channel is still available."
"Well, I asked two families. One offered four hundred dollars, and the other offered one thousand dollars." Zhu Yu explained the situation.
Cathy looked at the gold coins again and said:
"From what I see, if the quantity of gold coins is large, one thousand US dollars is a more reasonable price. Wait until I finish asking."
So Cathy called.
Zhu Yu was not in a hurry. Even if it was a thousand dollars, then more than half of his debt hole would be filled, so he wouldn't have to be so anxious.
After Cathy made the call, she apologized to Zhu Yu and said:
"Among the people I know, there are only two people who can buy such a large amount of gold coins, and the prices given are about 800 US dollars and 850 US dollars respectively.
They said they had seen similar gold coins and collected them, and the market price was like this. "
Zhu Yu nodded, slightly disappointed. It seemed that he could only sell it to Smith.
Zhu Yu thought for a while and asked Cathy:
"Ms. Cathy, can you recommend a suitable financial person? For such a large amount of money, you still need to pay inheritance tax, and you also have to look at things like tax exemption. I don't understand..."
Cathy showed a confident smile:
"If Mr. Zhu can trust me, then let me do it! Before Mr. Dajiang hired me, I worked in a famous accounting firm in New York.
Mr. Oe's finances were mostly managed by me until..."
There was a somewhat sad look on her face.
"That's great." Zhu Yu nodded and said, "I won't bother you here."
The next day, Zhu Yu went to invite Smith.
Looking at the four boxes of gold coins and so many gold and silverware placed in the room, although Smith was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but sigh:
"Zhu, I have to say, you are really a lucky guy! Such a large amount of pirate treasures can only be found in this world after years, ten or even decades of hard research, but as far as I know, You have only been in this business for a few months...Goddess of luck really favors you!"
Zhu Yu smiled, thinking that it was not the goddess of luck who favored me, but a treasure left by our ancestors. He doesn't believe in Lady Luck.
"Okay, let's take a look at things."
He led Smith to sit down and look at the dazzling things on the table.
It’s easier to talk about gold coins, after all, they’re pretty much the same.
Mainly those gold and silverware, Smith showed his carefulness and rich professional knowledge at this time.
After researching each item, I can roughly tell the age and origin. Although there may be some discrepancies, there are basically no major problems.
While talking, Smith also gave a rough estimate.
He said the same thing, and Zhu Yu stood by and memorized the same thing to avoid forgetting. This was also a learning process.
By the time all appraisals and valuations were completed, most of the day had passed.
Only then did Smith bother to drink water.
He raised his head and said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, I can indeed eat all these things, but I have to discuss the price with you in detail."
"you say."
