Chapter 96 "Medicine" (2) before dinner time, Zhang Xinyi's car drove into the house
Huang Xuan saw it on the balcony and immediately ran down
Things at the company were not easy
Looking at mom's tired face, Huang Xuan felt a pang of heartache and rubbed her shoulder
" Has the foundation been finding trouble recently
"" It's pretty messy anyway
" Zhang Xinyi shook his head and said," don't worry about this
Why did you go to Shanghai again
You didn't say hello to me
What if something happened to your safety
" She smiled awkwardly and did not dare to speak
She held her mother's arm and sent her to the sofa, serving tea and massaging her
She tried her best to please her
Zhang xinyi touched his forehead with her hand and said," don't play dumb
I just told Isaac that from tomorrow, he will follow you
Where are you going
Where is he going
" Isaac was the captain of the izo bodyguard, a two-meter tall mercenary in the" color" line
" Oh
" Huang xuan said weakly
Zhang Xinyi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued," your father and I also said that since you are back and your grandfather is not in good health, you should stay in the country
And you, go back to school
"" No
" Huang Xuan jumped up and saw her mother's eyes
She sat down on the sofa again and said," I, I just wanted to say that I'm going to america in the next two days
"" What are you doing
"" I heard that Hui Rui's medical" medicine" is very good, and the Citi also knows a few medical research institutions
I want to ask them by the way if they can help grandpa's condition," Huang Xuan said half-truthfully
Zhang Xinyi sighed and put the cup back on the table
She thought about it and said," Huang Xuan, you know, when you get old, you always get sick and have other problems
Do you remember what grandpa told you
Be brave
Bravery is not a front line
Go ahead
Bravery
Brave people are people who face reality
Facing life, you are still young
You may not understand
"" I understand
" Huang Xuan interrupted her mother and held one of her arms
" I'll go to america first
If I can't, I'll come back
What time can I waste
Look at my english now
I don't have to translate the conversation with Aubrey anymore
Why are we still going to school
" Looking at her son's appearance, zhang xinyi could not say anything more
She could not help but" touch" his head and said," a wider range of hunting, a wider range of life
" Listening quietly, when he was in junior high school, his mother was gradually busy, and even less time to talk together
Li qing rented a suite for huang xuan in Kailai
It looked like four or five hundred square meters
The next morning, Geoffrey from sotheby's, sabina, Aubrey from Citi, lawyer Annabel and other assistants arrived on time
The living room was partitioned by a transparent french window, a highly refined straight line, and bold black and white" colors" appeared in a large area of blank walls
Exquisite european furniture was scattered among them, and the overall color was bright yellow and light red
The space was decorated with lights, which made the sense of space stronger
Connected to the cloakroom was a ship filled with water
Inside the transparent ship was a group of tropical fish, their plump bellies swinging
Tempting
However, no matter how exquisite the decoration was, in front of the tsar egg sitting on the coffee table, it became dull
Sabrina covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes wide open, and couldn't help but ask," those are the faber's hot eggs
The three that were lost
" Of the 50 or so tsar eggs faberger had produced, eight were missing, and their whereabouts had always given countless people the space to imagine
Every time there was an extra one, a whole series of stories would follow
With a slight smile and a respectful gesture, he said," please take a seat first
As for whether they are fabai hot eggs or not, it is up to you to decide
" When it comes to professional issues, both Geoffrey and sabrina were awestruck
Aubrey, on the other hand, was nervous, with a valuation of $ 800 million
Although both Geoffrey and sabrina were able to make such a judgment, it was inevitable that their hearts would beat a little faster
Compared to the serious auctioneer Geoffrey, the Citi's valuation experts were much more relaxed
Sabina, who was wearing a short skirt, circled around the tsar egg and attracted a lot of attention, but she kept saying," it's here, it's here
" Who knows where the real tsar egg is, maybe it's damaged, maybe it's moldy in a box, or it's hidden in a deep house by a certain gentleman
Huang Xuan smiled in his heart and said," everyone, have a drink first and then start the valuation
" Geoffrey and the others nodded silently
The sotheby's appraiser, wilson, who came with him, put on his glasses first and said," Mr
Huang, I will appraise the oil painting because there are more
" He looked at the paintings rolled up on the table and said," I will simply confirm the authenticity first, and then I will need to bring the paintings back to the center for further identification
Is this arrangement okay
" At this time, most of the artworks required to be appraised were purchased from Hammer, and there were a small number of other art dealers in stock
The later the artworks were purchased, the higher the purchase price was, but the jewelry and so on had not been taken out yet
Nodding his head, looking around with a smile, he got up and left the sofa
Instead, the big men of izo were staring closely at the coffee table for fear that" lu" would take something away
The bodyguards behind the monitor also tightened their strings, worried that something was wrong
Generally speaking, the appraisal of calligraphy and painting was based on paper, ink, calligraphy, printing, and the style and habits of the painter
However, the artworks brought back by huang xuan, especially the russian artworks, would not have fakes, and the only paper time problem that could cause suspicion would be handled by Lorraine
It's also very simple - in fact, with current technology, a piece of paper has been stored for 100 or 200 years, and it is impossible to give a convincing number, depending on the storage environment
If it is buried deep in the tomb" hole," it is okay, the long-term collection of works of art, regardless of whether to change hands, its storage state can not be determined
For example, the yellowing of paper, for a piece of paper from 100 years ago, assuming that it could cause an average of one in 36,000 yellowing degrees per day and ten in 36,000 yellowing degrees per rainy day, who could know the difference between the yellowing degrees caused by heavy rain and continuous drizzle
Who can calculate the average humidity in the past 100 years
What's the difference between different places
If this piece of paper remained in an area, or kept warm and wet, it would be fine, but if the owner took the south and north to run around, its yellowing degree could not be described clearly, and the thermal and wet environment 100 years ago could only be imagined
As for what to say about the c14, it is simply nonsense in the antique appraisal
The most advanced testing of the c14 now has an error of more than 50 years, and it does not matter if it is used in the field of human studies
People do not care whether it is 12000 or 12050
But it's hard to tell whether it was brought back in 1931 or preserved today
Of course, in accordance with the principle of safety, Huang Xuan still asked Lorraine to make all the antiques that he brought back old, but it did not take much effort
The master of time from the era of the great plane was professional
To Huang Xuan, the only real problem was the repetitive collection problem
Lorraine searched as much as possible, recorded all the items that were currently on record, and only brought back the long-lost works of art that had been missing - but there was a problem here
Perhaps a certain piece of art was only secretly collected, but not lost
So it was up to the experts to decide whether it was genuine or fake, or even if a painter who thought it was funny drew two pictures, it wouldn't have much impact on Huang Xuan - there were only 20 or 30 cases of" the introduction to lanting's collection" that could be investigated on record
Sabina stared intently at the three tsar eggs, her white-gloved fingers hovering over them, and the assistant next to her did not dare to make a sound
" Do you really want to mortgage these three eggs
" While huang xuan was sipping coffee outside the window, sabina suddenly said something
He looked at her in surprise and smiled," of course
" There was a trace of inquiry in his eyes
Sabina gathered her long chestnut hair and said," this is a pity
You know, if you mortgage these eggs, they will be locked into the Citi safe
You can't see them, let alone touch them
" Waner, it looks like the american beauty in front of her is still immersed in her profession
In fact, to him, the tsar egg was just a toy
When he bought it back from Hammer, the price of each egg was just over 400 dollars
Now that it has risen, people think it is beautiful
Why didn't the americans fry it earlier
If the russians hadn't been rich all these years, russian art wouldn't have been left in a corner
The americans in the great depression, on the other hand, had some kind of inspiration from their state of mind, but he still couldn't read it
Aubrey coughed softly
Sabina probably knew that she had made a mistake and lowered her head to work
Huang xuan turned her head out of the window again
His life alone had greatly changed him, for example, patience
Annabel took a small notebook and noted that there were two lawyers present, all very busy
Nor did he know what the bank valuation had to do with these lawyers
Annabel, on the other hand, opened her mouth from time to time, startled by the numbers that people were saying, and looked at Huang Xuan differently
In just an hour, it was valued at more than $ 100 million, and even Aubrey's heart was tested
Before dinner, Geoffrey and the others began to pack up, while the two lawyers took down the numbers and photos at the same time and put a seal on them
Aubrey walked to the absent-minded Huang Xuan and whispered," Mr
Huang
"" Oh
"" The first step has been confirmed
If there is no problem, we will take these things away
" At the door, several security guards hired by the Citi were waiting there
" Ok
" Huang xuan signaled to Isaac that there was no problem and asked," what is the total value of the evaluation
"" The initial estimate is $ 940 million
Rene & Margaret's" wonderful nature" is estimated to be between $ 10 million and $ 14 million, and the egg is estimated to be between $ 12 million and $ 18 million
There are also three paintings by monet in france, the sleeping lotus, the railway bridge of allentee, and the woman in blue exercise by leige
Wilson believes that if they were auctioned by sotheby's, the price could be more than 20 million us dollars or more
" At this point, Aubrey swallowed and looked at the pda in his hand
" Edward Monck, the great expressionist of Norway, has a valuation of more than $ 10 million for the girls on the bridge
There is also laige's" the card player
" It is estimated to be an early work worth more than $ 8 million
" Huang xuanzao was prepared for this
Lorraine's valuation level was not weak, and the value was a little higher than this
At this time, wilson and Annabel came over, the latter handed a contract to Huang Xuan to sign, and wilson said: "Mr
Huang has a lot of famous russian paintings in his collection
Now the russian rich are buying them
If you are willing to wait for a while longer and let us run the auction, many of the paintings will cost more than ten percent more than the estimated price
" Raising his eyebrows, he said," I'm afraid I can't wait that long
By the way, there doesn't seem to be a ten-million-dollar russian oil painting in the valuation that Aubrey just said
" Wilson explained: The price of russian art has risen recently
After all, russia is rich, so it's willing to pay more for the art they like, but the base price is too low
It's like a few paintings by surikov
In the 1990s, it was only $ 100,000 at most, and now it's estimated to be around 4 million
It's up 100 times faster, but it's still not the top price compared to the famous european
" He pointed at the already packaged painting and said," that Repin's" actress stelletta performing the role of' color' at the yeli zavita' has the highest valuation, which should be more than 10 million us dollars
" He then advised," Mr
Huang, there are so many works, and most of them are paintings that haven't appeared in a long time
If you give us two months to promote them, we can definitely get a satisfactory price
" Still shaking his head, sotheby's ability was certainly trustworthy
But their prices are more trustworthy, and generally speaking, The world's largest auction house always demanded a commission of more than 16 %
If you bid at a high price, 20 % is a common occurrence
Of course, Most importantly, there was no time
Geoffrey also finished his work and came over to pat wilson on the shoulder
He put away his serious expression and smiled at huang xuan
" Mr
Huang is going to shake up the collection world this time
" He nodded with a wry smile
He didn't want to shock anyone, but it was too difficult to hide such a huge valuation
Besides, there was no need to hide it
The huang family was always very rich
If they were richer, no one could say anything, but they were poor and rich
There will be some trouble
When the last faberger wooden clock is put in the box, Aubrey comes over with his head down and says," Mr
Huang, you can go now
"" Thank you for your trouble
" Huang Xuan arched his hands and made a small circle around him
This simple etiquette was convenient abroad, sending out several experts, and Aubrey handed him the list
" Although there will be further appraisal, the changes in the appraisal should not be too great
If all the appraisal is genuine, the total amount should be more than 800 million us dollars
" He put the cup on the cabinet and said," have you contacted the Pfizer Inc
"" It's been notified
" Aubrey took out a document from his briefcase and said," this is my plan
If you want to borrow from the Citi and buy the bonds of the Citi, can you consider directly handing over the bonds of the Citi to manage you
You know, although this bond cannot be sold, there is no problem in using it as a re-mortgage
"" I'll leave it to you then
" Huang Xuan asked again," how much more do I need
"" At least 150 million
" Aubrey smiled apologetically
He was referring to the situation of mortgaging huang xuan's assets in Brazil
However, in this way, the annual interest would be 100 million
Huang Xuan shook his head and said," since you don't want to take over the diamonds, then I have some jewelry
Gemstones, you won't have any problems, right
"" Of course
" Aubrey smiled awkwardly and said," you know, there are a lot of problems with diamonds, and the international community is watching them closely, especially in the united states
" At this point, he looked around and whispered," in fact, europe doesn't seem to be that tight on this
"" Okay, I understand
" Huang Xuan didn't have any problems at this time
After all, Aubrey couldn't be as reckless as he was
It was good to say so
He patted the american on the shoulder and said: "I'll be on the plane tomorrow morning
It's still here tomorrow morning
You can get someone to evaluate the jewelry
It's best to get the loan and the Hui Rui settled before I arrive in the united states
" Aubrey promised," don't worry
" After getting rid of the Swiss union bank and becoming Huang Xuan's largest asset management bank again, he had basically established his current position
After putting away the documents, Aubrey suddenly remembered and said: "Boss, I forgot to tell you
I can't find you these two days
Mr
Yu, it's Yu Liye who asked me to tell you that Letter company is ready to go public
" Aubrey read yu liye's name like he was reading a tongue twister on a trampoline
" Listed
" Huang Xuan shrugged
70 million yuan to go public
" That's right
" Aubrey didn't feel anything
He took out a document from his bag and handed it to Huang Xuan
" You have a 24 % stake in Letter business and will be diluted to 13 % after going public, but the market value should more than double
In addition to informing you about this, Mr
Yu Liye also asked me to ask you if you would like to continue to inject capital into the company
" Funnily, he picked up the file and fanned it
" I don't have the money to inject capital now
It's better to sell my shares
" When he said that, Aubrey dissuaded him
" Boss, the potential of Letter business's value increase is still very good
In fact, the value of Letter business is much higher than that of selling it
Besides, selling it for only 20 million us dollars won't help
"" How much do you think this equity is worth
" Huang xuan was interested
" At least $ 45 million
" Aubrey seemed to have studied it carefully and said firmly," Letter business's asset structure is very healthy
Its business volume is rising very fast and has not crossed the growth period
If the listing goes smoothly, it is not a problem to increase by four times
"" Then fatten it up and kill it
" Huang Xuan sadly handed the document back to Aubrey and said," find someone to see the gemstone tomorrow morning
I'll fly to america in the afternoon
" Beyond the word count: dolphins originally liked to gradually infiltrate settings in the text, rather than boring narratives, but many readers asked and answered a few questions: the first kind of question: if Lorraine could simply open a plane channel, Why couldn't they just bring the oil in
The dolphin seemed to have said it twice in between the lines, but since someone else had asked, the question was a lie: Lorraine had a condition to open a plane passage, that is, There are only one and a half authorities in the vicinity: huang xuan and Lorraine
Therefore, we can only open a plane passageway near the base or Huang Xuan
This is the limit of energy, and it is also to prevent the buffer zone from losing too much energy
Lorraine still has to abide by the rules of the big plane era
Regardless of whether it's in the p 112 or other planes, it's not feasible to simply open a plane passage
The second type of question: why not put the base in an oil field, or simply sit in a crater, or somewhere else
Good idea
The lie was as simple as this: the first sequence was the safety of the base, and then the energy
Therefore, it was not safe to put it in the oil field, or in the deep sea, or in the crater
The protection of the base was energy protection, not iron teeth and copper teeth
As for the use of geothermal energy, solar energy and so on, Although cheap energy could be obtained, in fact, Lorraine used to do this before, but the quantity was not enough, and to get more energy, the current location was more convenient
The third kind of question: since the base can use oil, why use electricity
Or why not just throw the energy chain into the well
This is very similar to the first kind of lie
The circle method: the first step of setting up a scenario was actually described long ago
The energy chain can only transmit energy, not energy
That is to say, it transmits heat, electricity, and light energy
So it's useless to throw it into an oil well
Secondly, the only thing that can burn energy is the base itself, which is to send oil to the base
Finally, there is a limit to the use of the plane passage
It is first a passage, that is, in the case of only one plane base and tourists in Huang Xuan
Only then could he do so
Now he was using the airport runway as a warehouse, moving it away when he was flying and using it when he was done, but in the era of the big plane, or in the advanced plane that was still alive, that was not possible
