MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 46 Dining room
At noon, it was still the Italian restaurant on Wall Street. When Li Xiaoshuai came in, the waiters in the store had already remembered him.
The precious Hepburn's signed poster was shot here. The lighters during World War II, as well as Patton's handwritten letters, were shot here. Who would forget the clever little guy?
After a while, a middle-aged man with gray hair came in. The man's stomach entered the restaurant one step ahead of his feet.
This is Pierre, the person Li Xiaoshuai invited today. He is a coin collector, and he made an appointment with Li Xiaoshuai on the Internet a few days ago.
Seeing someone raise their hand, Pierre walked over to ask the screen name, and sat down happily.
After the coffee came up, Pierre asked Li Xiaoshuai, are you really a professional treasure hunter?
That's still fake, Li Xiaoshuai nodded in approval.
"Great, we can be friends!" Pierre enthusiastically extended his hand again.
Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart that it was very good. This is another channel for sales, and it is still a collector's level. He also stretched out his hand: "It is an honor."
Then Li Xiaoshuai handed the two silver coins he brought to Pierre for inspection. When it comes to doing business, it should be seen by people.
Pierre is a very careful person, and has nothing to do with his plump physique. He is very careful when examining the silver coins. He will not let go of every letter and every detail on the silver coins.
Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart that the one worth 20,000 yuan is worth it if you look carefully, and the other one is only 2,000 yuan, so you have to look at it so carefully.
Hey, people just look at it so carefully.
The two silver coins the size of a child's slap had been looked at by Pierre for half an hour, and Li Xiaoshuai and others were a little impatient, and the identification was completed.
Say it's two real coins. In particular, the Eo version is a rare boutique in recent years.
After asking about Li Xiaoshuai's bank account, Pierre readily transferred the money to him. He also said, "I want to save your account. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you bring me finer coins."
He also pointed to the bank card and said: "There are a lot of Franklins in here, it's up to you to bring me precious coins, such as Lincoln cents, Morgan king silver dollars, American trade dollars after 1879, and double eagles from 1933. gold.
Well, there are also Yuan Datou gold coins from your Rabbit Country in the 1910s. These are all I want. As long as you can pick them up, you can immediately exchange them for large sums of dollars. "
Li Xiaoshuai could only smile bitterly when he heard it, this old man's dream is too great, nothing he said was easy.
Take the cheapest King Morgan silver dollar here as an example. It was a product from 1895. There were only 880 sample coins in total, so I had to go somewhere to find it for him.
There is also a double eagle gold coin from the Philadelphia Mint in 1933. There are only about 20 pieces in existence. It is said that some collectors shouted the sky-high price of 8 million US dollars and did not receive one, which shows how rare it is.
"Dude, you're giving me a problem, and it's a world-class problem."
Pierre also encouraged Li Xiaoshuai, saying that young people must accept the challenge, otherwise it would be too boring to live an ordinary life.
After Pierre left, Li Xiaoshuai wanted to wait for his uncle and have a meal with him.
When it was time for dinner, more people came to the store for lunch. This place is on Wall Street, so most of the people who came to eat in the store were guys with big buns and black suits.
After these people sat down, they spoke Dow Jones;
After waiting for a while, eldest brother Sean came over with a middle-aged man.
After sitting down, Sean introduced to Li Xiaoshuai that this is his boss, Robbie Bryan, director of the investment department, who is a lover of antique watches.
He also listened to Sean's boast in the company, and wanted to meet Li Xiaoshuai very much. He would have the opportunity to see the 1851 version of Patek Philippe's rose gold pocket watch with his own eyes.
Robbie also said politely, came over without saying hello, and was very sorry.
For the sake of my uncle, what else can Li Xiaoshuai say? It doesn't matter if he just says it generously.
When the food came, the three of them ate and talked. After a few words, the topic shifted to the antique clock. Sean couldn't talk, so he could only sit.
For antique clocks, Li Xiaoshuai was inspired by picking up Patek Philippe and worked hard.
After a few words of communication, I know that this Robbie is still an amateur-level enthusiast. He has some understanding of antique clocks, but he is very superficial and does not know much about the real thing.
While the two were drinking coffee, Sean, who was left aside, could finally put in a sentence. He said that Li Xiaoshuai's house also had an antique four-minute clock from 1800, produced by the Royal Watch Factory in London, England.
This is a real antique!
Robbie's eyes lit up, "Is it good or bad?"
"After all, it's been hundreds of years. A few small gears have been broken, but they have been repaired. It can run the timing normally, and it's not bad! And the copper bells that tell the time are still silver, and the sound is very nice."
"Do you have a photo?"
Li Xiaoshuai felt that his foot was lightly kicked twice by Sean, so he still didn't know what Sean meant. Say "yes!" right away
Turn on the phone and pull out the four-minute photo for Robbie to see.
Robbie saw that this ancient clock looked antique, and an antique smell came to his face.
The base of the clock is golden, and the top is a four-sided transparent glass cover, which is also the meaning of the word Siming, that is, the four-sided transparent meaning.
The clock dial and movement are supported by four equally golden columns and hang high, and there is a pendulum with a four-claw iron anchor below.
Li Xiaoshuai also said that the base and all the pillars of the clock are made of silver and gilt, which is very heavy.
It's all made of silver, and Robbie likes it even more!
This shows that this clock is not sold to ordinary people. It is not bad for ordinary people to have enough to eat. Who can afford a clock made of silver. Those who are qualified to buy can only be the wealthy aristocratic wealthy class.
"Li, are you interested in selling this antique clock? I'm willing to pay a high price."
Li Xiaoshuai wanted to say no~www.novelbuddy.com~ To be honest, he liked this clock very much. It was the first antique clock he received, and he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
However, his uncle gave him another kick in the foot, and he could only say yes.
Robbie immediately asked Sean and Li Xiaoshuai to go back together, and moved the antique clock to the company, immediately; immediately, don't delay for a moment!
More than two hours later, this antique clock was placed in Robbie's office, and there were dozens of big Baotou traders discussing it.
Some people say that this clock is elegant in temperament and simple in style, which is definitely not something ordinary people can have.
Others say that it is full of aristocracy, and it is worthy of being produced by the Royal Watch Factory. It is a good thing at a glance.
When Li Xiaoshuai took out the 1851 rose gold pocket watch with diamonds, he immediately blinded everyone present.
Patek Philippe’s production is extraordinary, and the current one is still antique. Every trader present is looking at this pocket watch with adoring eyes. The sound of gasping for breath was incessant.
At this time, they were looking at Li Xiaoshuai, and there was no contempt in their eyes. Instead, there was more equality, and they no longer regarded him as a kid who picked up garbage.
Thanks to Li Xiaoshuai's famous saying, the pocket watch would not be sold, otherwise the watch would have been snatched away by traders with rich income.
Traders have many thieves, and they all know that this kind of cherished watch will start early and gain early, and will regret it for a lifetime.
In the end, Li Xiaoshuai's antique four-minute clock in the 1800s was sold to Robbie at a very cheap price of $40,000.
This is what his brother-in-law was begging for on the way back to fetch the clock. For the future of brother-in-law, Li Xiaoshuai could only recognize it.
However, he also thought about it, in a few days, he will make up for the loss on Elaine!
