God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1466 Madame Pompidou

"Money alone may not be enough."

"If you think too much, you can do it if you have money. It's not a top-notch service. Isn't it just ordering a few dishes in the middle of the night? Now there are no chefs on night shifts in big hotels? They can't wait for the night business to be better. It's more prosperous."

"That's the reason, but you are the only one who can let the hotel manager deliver the food to you in person, so don't be too respectful with that attitude."

"Hurry up and hurry up, eat it quickly, let it go, and invite you to eat in a hotel another day. The dishes in our country are still the best when they are just out of the pot. Eat them 5 minutes after they are out of the pot. The taste will not be the same. If it takes more than 10 minutes It doesn’t matter whether it is delicious or not, it can only barely fill the stomach.”

"No wonder you and Sister Xiu have so much in common. A rough person like me doesn't pay much attention," Yu Mingxiu said, but he was not polite when eating, wrapped in a bath towel, eating with a knife and fork in one hand and chopsticks in the other. When he got up, he was obviously really hungry. He had eaten at Zhou Yuxiu's house at noon and had been hungry until now, and even ran so many legs.

Xu Jingxing was even hungrier and ate more fiercely.

So in less than half an hour, two people ate up a large table of food delivered by the hotel.

After eating, Yu Mingxiu stretched her waist: "It's so cool, it's the first time I tasted the chef's craftsmanship of a five-star hotel at home, and I've followed you, great artist Xu."

Xu Jingxing took a sip of the red wine provided by the hotel, rinsed his mouth, and then spit it out into the gold-plated trash can that came with the tableware: "Where is this, Sister Mingxiu, your ability to enjoy life is not as good as that of Sister Xiu Yuan, don't just focus on making money, if you go on like this, you won't know how to spend the money you earn."

"...I'm heartbroken," Yu Mingxiu glanced at Xu Jingxing resentfully, "Will the hotel take these things back?"

"Yes, you can send a message when you are at home, and someone from them will come to clean up these things. If there is a need, they will even help you clean up the restaurant and take the garbage out for you."

"Anytime? Now?"

"can."

"Forget it, don't let them toss back and forth at night, let's talk about it when they are free during the day." Yu Mingxiu wrapped the bathrobe around her body: "I won't serve you anymore, I will take care of everything in the bedroom." I got a new one for you, just use it."

Xu Jingxing waved his hand, "I won't be here tonight."

"What? Go back to the courtyard?"

"Go over there and tidy up the things you just moved back."

"No, this big night..."

"I don't sleep much, so it doesn't matter if I stay up late occasionally. Go to sleep. I'll go over there."

"So, come over for breakfast in the morning?"

"it is good."

Xu Jingxing left Yu Mingxiu's villa and strolled back to his big villa. He nodded and greeted the patrolling security guards on the way, then turned on all the lights in the villa, and classified the old objects worth [-] million yuan.

There are so many things, many of which he doesn't need but are more valuable. The only function of those things is to provide him with some spiritual energy, and then they will be thrown to Ye Qing to deal with. As for how much they can be sold for, it doesn't matter Well, anyway, when he bought it, he used the market price. Even if he could fetch a relatively high price in the auction house, after deducting the handling fee and various taxes and fees, there would not be much left.

It's not even likely to pay back.

Of course, Boss Xu, who is rich and powerful, doesn't care about such a small loss now, the total cost is only [-] million, so what if it is a total loss.

Little money, don't care.

What's more, after removing those items that Xu Jingxing was unwilling to take in, the rest were good things, whether they were used for collection, investment items, or even directly put up for auction, they were very profitable.

He even picked up a good one.

What's wrong.

One set is a crystal wine set.

To be exact, a set of sterling silver trays and cup holders plus twelve crystal goblets plus a number of other wine vessels, all crystal.

Ordinarily, no matter how exquisite crystal products are, they will not be worth too much money. After all, the material of crystal itself is not very valuable, and the material itself has certain limitations. They are not very well-crafted, and most of them are plain-faced. People who like this kind of noodle-style utensils in clear soup may like it very much, but there are few such people after all.

In other words, the material of crystal itself is a commodity, and it is not easy to carve. Naturally, it cannot be sold at sky-high prices like jade and emerald.

But in Europe, especially in Europe two or three centuries ago, there was still a market for crystal products. The famous Baccarat was a big brand born at that time.

The set of crystal wine sets in front of him was produced by Baccarat. It was a standard brand-name product and a luxury item among crystal brands.

The history of the Baccarat brand can be traced back to the Louis XV period, but Baccarat was a place name at that time, and it was mainly used to make glassware. It was not until 1816 that industrialist Aine-Gabrield'Artigues bought a glass factory and transformed it into crystal products. , and renamed to Baccarat.

Then this name soon became the most famous crystal manufacturing brand in Europe and even in the world. At its peak, Baccarat’s crystal products were marked with the exclusive mark of French, Indian and British royals, and it successfully transformed into a real luxury brand in the new century. ,until now.

However, in the past two years, Baccarat was acquired by a wealthy female businessman in China at a price of more than one billion yuan, which made this world-renowned crystal luxury brand have a Chinese pedigree.

But even so, a set of crystal drinking utensils was still not worth much. To Zhou Yuxiu, it was just an extra, equivalent to not spending a penny.

But such a set of seemingly ordinary crystal drinking utensils contains such a strong aura, even the physical properties are not weak.

Such a set of drinking utensils is absolutely impossible to be an ordinary old object. It should have some background, maybe it was used by a certain important person.

The bottom of the wine glass was engraved with a symbol similar to the family emblem, but he really didn't know much about this thing, so he couldn't judge the origin of this set of wine utensils.It is estimated that few people in the country can recognize the same thing as the ethnic emblem. Only Western scholars who specialize in the study of emblems can recognize it. After all, there are too many families in Europe, and nobles of all sizes have exclusive family emblems , After so many years of accumulation, the number should not be too large.

However, someone should be able to recognize the origin of this thing.

How about asking her?

Thinking of this, he took a few photos and sent them to Ye Qing: "Manager Ye, is there any appraiser in the company who is familiar with European emblems, please help me find out what the origin of this pattern is."

A few minutes later, Ye Qing sent a video: "Where did you get this baby?"

"Any eyebrows?"

"Transfer?"

"Is there really someone in the company who can recognize this thing?"

"It's sure to sell for a good price."

"Let's talk about it in a few days. Let's talk about this badge first."

The two chatted for a while, but Ye Qing didn't get any useful information, so he could only helplessly say: "This is Madame Pompidou's exclusive badge, it's easy to identify, this thing can only be considered good in appearance, but with this Badges, the value is different."

"Are you sure it's Madame Pompidou's coat of arms? How does my friend say it's a Baccarat crystal product? The official birth of the brand Baccarat took decades after Madame Pompidou's death, right?"

"Wait, I'll ask again. By the way, send me some clearer photos."

"Oh."

A few minutes later, Ye Qing sent another video, "Your friend made a mistake, this is not Baccarat's crystal, or it is Baccarat's early craftsmanship, that is, the work of Baccarat when he was still making glass, although that At that time, Baccarat had not yet become a brand factory specializing in crystal, but it did not only make glass, but made glass and crystal together. In the early days, Baccarat was an industrial town of crystal and glass manufacturing industry. When I was alive, I made a lot of crystal products, but I haven’t become a professional brand of crystal products, and my reputation is not that great.”

"Well, I understand. I said that the workmanship of this cup is a bit different from Baccarat's reputation, but the shape is still quite interesting."

"What are you going to do with this cup?"

"I want to send someone off."

"What?"

"Send someone."

"spendthrift!"

Xu Jingxing chuckled, "Manager Ye, thank you, and also thank you to the unknown appraiser, I will send you a batch of good quality lots after I have finished counting, almost all of them are old rococo items, and they are still in good condition. not bad."

"Fuck, where did you get so many treasures?" In the video, Ye Qing stared at some resplendent furniture exposed on the phone screen: "Where are you now? At your friend's place?"

"No, at my house."

"Little boss, don't try to fool me. The room in your courtyard doesn't have such a bright crystal lamp. It's in someone's villa, it's not low-grade."

"The villa I just bought a few days ago, these items were bought in the afternoon, and they are currently being cleaned up." Xu Jingxing turned around with his mobile phone, and scanned the large and small items that he just bought behind him, "I Only collect a part of it, and you can auction the rest, isn’t it interesting?”

Ye Qing looked at Xu Jingxing resentfully: "Little boss, how much collection value can you pick for the rest?"

"Don't worry, they are all good things, and they are definitely qualified to be auctioned."

"how many?"

"Probably more than 100 pieces. There are many small pieces, and most of them are high-quality goods. There are religious elements of scrutiny. I don't like it very much."

Xu Jingxing really didn't like those objects with crosses, Jesus and other images and elements, no matter how exquisite they were, he didn't want to accept them, but those little fat dolls with wings looked very festive, so he could accept them.

When Ye Qing heard this, he couldn't sit still for a moment, "Little boss, where is your new villa, I'll go there right away."
