There were more than 80 pieces of ancient antiques on the sea side that needed to be appraised, so the antiques appraisal was divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon.When it was Hogan Jewelry's turn, Hadley Baldwin's heart was still hanging in the air, and his eyes were fixed on Irving.It seemed that he wanted to analyze Irving's performance to see if he might have mis-appraisal of their company's jewelry because of the previous incident.However, he also held his fists together tightly. If Irving really dared to do something behind his back, he would definitely seize this opportunity to make a good show, and finally make it difficult for the opponent to become an expert in the future.During today's appraisal, Irving had always looked at things relatively well. Mr. Farrell and the others were very surprised. Why was Irving still so careful after having already experienced it once?In fact, Irving was just thinking about it. When he was in Kansas, he was too nervous and onl
Hadley Baldwin quickly brought the diluent and dissolving solution to the conference room.Everyone looked at Irving. At this point, they naturally hoped that he could give everyone a clear result.Irving took a cotton swab and dipped it in some solution, then applied it on the underside of the elephant's legs.Hadley Baldwin and Samuel Yarmouth stood aside without any worry, and even looked at Irving with a proud look. In their eyes, Irving's behavior was no different from seeking medical treatment in a hurry.Soon the expressions on their faces would slowly turn into fear and strength.Even Mr. Farrell and the others' expression became a bit complicated. They didn't expect that there was really something wrong with this jade carving.Although this jade carving was ancient antique, it is glued together after all, and it was still ordinary white jade inside. As a result, the price of this jade carving would definitely plummet.This was also the reason why they have to identify it so c
The rich new generation guy was stunned for a moment after hearing the host's words, and then said helplessly. "I thought I was going to bid casually, and originally wanted to take pictures of all the gambling materials here. If that's the case, then I don't want this piece for now. ”Hearing what he said, everyone was happy. Fortunately, each person could only bid for one piece, otherwise their trip today would have been in vain.There were almost thirty merchants participating in the event tonight. Everyone knew that these gambling materials were treasures collected by the merchants themselves. It was estimated that they all start at least 10,000 dollar, and some may even reach tens or hundreds of millions. If they were all photographed so, that would be a huge sum of money.Irving thought this restriction was also very interesting. If you could only buy one piece, everyone would definitely want to save the opportunity to see if there were better gambling materials later.It was jus
The young man had a sad look on his face, and said to everyone in a daze. "My grandfather is sick, so he asked me to bring over the gambling material that he has collected for many years. This gambling material was originally mined together with a piece of emerald king, so my grandfather has kept it for so long, and he said there must be very good jade material inside."There were some businessmen around, and they had seen too many different things. Usually they would say something to gain sympathy in order to sell goods, so after the young man finished speaking, no one had much reaction.The first thing businessmen look at when doing most things is profit, and even Irving is like this.This piece of material looked really bad on the outside, it can be said to be useless, so no one has any ideas."Why does this kind of material come with emerald king? I think even if it comes with emerald king, this piece is at most a waste from outside emerald king." The rich guy said sarcastically.
Soon Irving cut out all his own pieces of material. There were three colors on this piece of rock, and each color was not messy, so the overall feeling was very experienced, right? Out of all these rocks that had been cut so far, this was the best piece of material."Oh!"Over at the other stone-breaking machine, the boss from Philadelphia was still unraveling his big piece of gambling material, but after the other half was unraveled, except for some scraps on the sides, the middle was all stone."Will this material be sold for one million?" The rich guy slowly walked to Irving and asked.Irving shook his head and refused directly.This piece of material was not big, and the planting water had not reached the level of transparency. It only cost about a million. However, because of the contract signed by Irving and Hudson Jewelry, except for what he wants to keep, he had to ask them for everything else first. Did they want it or not, depended on them."Is two million enough?" After all
Irving originally planned to take the multi-colored piece of red Sapphire in his hand to Hudson Jewelry on the sea side, but because he was too pressed for time later, he had to wait until he got to Washington to deal with it.Everyone flew directly to Washington from the Philadelphia.What they didn't expect was that Washington paid more attention to their arrival than the other side of the country. The number of people coming to the airport to pick them up was twice as many as those from the other areas.Half of the people at the exit were people who came to greet them.Although there was no commotion here that Irving was not here, everyone was still stunned when they saw that there was such a young expert in the expert team this time.The itinerary in Washington is similar to that at the other areas. The first day was rest, and the second day was gemstones appreciation.Originally, after the mission in Philadelphia was over, they had to g
Although Irving had worked at a branch of Hudson Jewelry before, he later came into contact with some higher-level branches and even visited the head office in Florida.However, when I went to Florida last time, I didn’t visit much at all. Fortunately, the Jacksonville branch also plays an important role in the American Games. Irving thought that he must take this opportunity to visit it.Yvonne had prepared it before arriving. There was an extended VIP car waiting at the door of the hotel. There happened to be four separate seats in the back seat. The driver in front of him was also the full-time driver of Hudson Jewelry.After arriving at the Jacksonville branch, because Yvonne was there, they could basically go anywhere they wanted.Although Zachary had been following Yvonne without saying much, Irving could feel that she often looked at him.After entering, Yvonne introduced to Irving, "There are two processing plants in the Jacksonville branch, and there is also a fine carving fa
"Let's take the simplest one. The two of us randomly pick from the gambling stones in the warehouse, and the gemstone we get out will be evaluated comprehensively from the three aspects of color, planting water, and value to determine the winner. How about it?" Mr. Charles said directly.The gambling materials in the company have all been screened. It is much easier for them to choose gambling materials from here than from the outside market.The Hadley Baldwin I met in Kyoto before was called the Gambling King of Kansas precisely because he gambled with a probability of 140% to 50% from the gambling stone in the company.It's just that his stone gambling ability is definitely not as good as the three stone gambling experts in front of Irving.After Mr. Charles finished speaking, Irving thought for a moment.Seeing that he didn't speak, Mr. Charles mistakenly thought that he was afraid, so he said proudly, "Young man, it's okay if you don't dare, but I'm afraid you won't be able to be
Five years later, Irving boarded a plane to Las Vegas. Accompanying him was his wife, Linda. The occasion was the opening ceremony of his new company, Irvinda.Linda was very excited to be able to travel with Irving and not have to stay at home alone. Because she had been helping him for the launching of the company, she was very tired and soon became very sleepy.She stopped talking and fell asleep not long after the plane took off. She was sleeping soundly, probably feeling uncomfortable, and slowly leaned her head on his shoulder.Amid the roar of the plane, smelling the faint fragrance of her hair, and seeing her long eyelashes occasionally fluttering in her sleep, irving felt very at peace and leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.After the new company was opened, Irving spent an afternoon with Jillian in the Vegas office to hold a development and report meeting for the company's senior management. Silverstone Real Estate had completely got on the right track. With suffic
"There is no risk of commercial fraud, and there are no problems with the government. It is great value for money... So can we grab it?" Irving was still a little confused. From what Quentin said, it seemed that these pieces of land belonged to Warren. Why was this so?"Haha, Irving, I understand what you mean! The reason why these plots of land have not been sold yet is because their requirements are high - they must take over several plots of land at the same time, and the full amount must be paid within one week after signing the contract!""You know," Quentin added proudly, "most of the real estate companies in New York City are small in scale and rely on bank loans to survive. Only a few can come up with so much cash at once! But we can do it! There are more than 200 million dollar in the account of the headquarters now. Excluding the 200 million dollar, the rest is enough to support it until the end of the month, and the subsequent loans of nearly 100 million dollar should be av
Early in the morning, Irving finished washing up and was about to go downstairs for breakfast when Warren’s president Quentin came to his door.Irving couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall. It was indeed just after seven o'clock. If he hadn't confirmed it, he would have thought he had overslept. He grinned helplessly and said to his mentor, "Mr. Quentin, are you here to check on me, or are you here to have breakfast?"Quentin didn't take Irving's teasing seriously. He smiled and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'll just have breakfast for free!"Quentin was a diligent person who has spared no effort for the development of the company. He must have something to discuss if he came here so early in the morning. Irving stopped joking with him: "Then let's go, let's eat and talk!"In the restaurant, the two sat together, Irving ate while listening to Quentin's report."Irving, I have two things to tell you." Quentin took a bite of the big meat bun provided by the restauran
"This calligraphy and painting is worth 30 million, plus!""This jade bracelet is okay, let's count it at eight million.""Well, although the quality of this item is a little poor, it can still be sold for a few thousand dollar, so let's add it together." The short and fat man raised his hands, his expression dull, not daring to make any movement. He let Gunther search his entire body, even small items worth dozens of dollars were not spared.If he hadn't been in the treasure fighting arena, the short and fat man would have thought he had encountered a robber.After a long while, Gunther turned around and asked his men, "Have you finished the calculation? What is the total value?"The subordinate was busy sweating profusely, and finally pressed the last number and immediately replied: "The total is 345,983,642.50 dollar!"When this number was announced, the whole audience was shocked."It adds up to more than 300 million!""This is not a small number. It is rare for major auction hous
"Gunther did not move at all, his masked face showed no expression, as if he were a stone statue."hehe……"Just when everyone was confused, Gunther looked up and laughed."It turns out that the clown is me!"Gunther's words made everyone even more confused. After looking at each other for a while, they didn't know whether they should ask questions, but they were afraid of angering Gunther.However, humans have the same strong curiosity as cats.Finally, the short and fat man asked, "Judges, did I win?"Gunther smiled bitterly and shook his head. "What a joke! My emerald token is worth three million. How can I not win against a broken scroll?"This unexpected response made the short and fat man open his eyes in astonishment. He could hardly believe his ears. It was like a bolt from the blue.But he won't give up easily."I want to pick up the treasure!" The short and fat man took out another antique.Glaze garlic vase.Estimated value: 12.7 million!"Judges, can this one win?" Gunther
"Ha ha……" Gunther laughed.The short fat man laughed.The woman in black smiled.Everyone laughed.Irving, at this moment, under the gaze of everyone, was like a complete idiot.A broken scroll picked up from the garbage dump, hoping to defeat a short and fat man who possessed many rare treasures. If possible, they really wanted to pry open Irving's head on the spot to see what was inside.Fannie couldn't help but sigh, with the same expression of looking at someone as if he was a fool.A thing worth only tens of thousands of dollars would hardly make even a splash on the treasure-fighting stage.Gunther laughed and said, "You're stupid, but you're still stubborn."The short and fat man responded, "Judges, since he wants to embarrass himself in public, why don't we help him? Otherwise, after we leave this island, he will have the opportunity to slander me, saying that I dare not accept the challenge and that Hammersmith bullied him."Gunther thought about it and felt that this made se
"Who.?" The short and fat man stared at the crowd with his eyes wide open. "Who the hell are you? Come out now if you dare. Stop hiding."The roar echoed in the venue. It's like a mad pit bull baring its teeth, frightening people from the bottom of their souls.The crowd immediately looked around, trying to find the man out to calm the anger of this mad dog. After a while, like a river broken in the middle, the crowd automatically and consciously retreated to both sides.Gradually, a large open space was left in the treasure fighting arena. There were only two people standing there.A man and a woman.One of them was Fannie.The other person was——Irving.He was like a standing monument, with his back straight and his eyes sharp.The short and fat man snapped, "It's you again."Irving still looks like an unchanging stone statue. Cold, lonely and arrogant.The short and fat man roared: "Who are you calling worse than trash?"Irving said coldly: "It seems that you are quite self-aware."
"Hey, let's make some noise."The people in the treasure-competing arena are typically spectators who are there to watch a show and are not afraid of trouble, otherwise they would not come here specifically to watch people compete with treasures.It’s not like the man in black robe hasn’t been questioned before.Those who lose in the treasure competition often become anxious and unwilling to give away the treasures they have treasured for many years to others, so they will blame the other person's poor judgment ability and the appraisal result must be wrong.The result was that the doubters were severely punished.At the very least, they will be beaten half to death, and at the worst, they will disappear from the face of the earth.The man in black robe looked down at the people below, neither angry nor mocking.He said calmly, "Do you know what will happen if you question Hammersmith's number one treasure appraiser?"A short sentence, but it sounded very bland.But for some reason, t
"Why don't you two go to the treasure bidding arena first." The woman in black said with a faint smile.Fannie was eager to find out the inside story, so she immediately instigated Irving."It doesn't matter if you see it, let's go."Irving raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Well, I haven't seen anyone fighting for treasures for a long time."The woman in black bowed and walked to the front to lead the way.After a while, the three of them came to another stone chamber, but it was different from the "exotic flowers and plants" one. This one was full of people. There was a high platform in the middle, and an isolated circle outside was surrounded by ropes.At this time, three people were standing in a triangle on the platform.The person standing in the middle was wearing a black robe, his face buried deep in his hood, his hands crossed and tucked into his wide sleeves.The other two stood on the left and right of the man in black robe, facing each other, each holding a square wooden
