Chapter 1555: Surprise Appraisal
Kenan Spencer was also very helpless about this. What should he do with the trouble caused by the appraiser's foul mouth?
However, he was the one who facilitated this matter. After completing it, he could not only earn a large commission from the other party, but also gain their friendship.

At the same time, I expanded my personal network, which allowed me to take my career to the next level and take a step closer to becoming a partner of the international law firm "Chengda" and Italian Law Firm.

So Kenan Spencer had no choice but to pull Han Li aside to say something nice and apologize, and he also teamed up with others to persuade the appraiser to come over and apologize.
After a while, Han Li reluctantly agreed to reveal the matter for the sake of Kenan Spencer and let the identification and evaluation start again.

Next, Kenan Spencer followed the appraisers' advice and drove to buy some small wooden boxes, suitcases, foam boxes, sponges, soft cotton cloth, and sealed plastic bags of different sizes to serve as temporary storage space for the antiques after they were cleaned and identified.

At the same time, Han Li asked him to buy some drinks and two large buckets of water, as these were the things he forgot to buy yesterday.

The coffee is for the foreigners to drink, and the bucket of water is for him to make coffee and boil water for tea later.

Among these appraisers, some wore white gloves, magnifying glasses and other simple equipment, and began to identify and register the antiques that were on the surface.

The appraiser's assistants also acted as on-site excavators this time. They wore white gloves and held small brushes and plastic shovels to clean the antiquities out of the soil bit by bit.

Some of the appraisers came forward to help the appraiser identify the antiques, while others took the items that the appraiser had already appraised, checked their condition and degree of completion, and then wrote down their approximate prices in notebooks.

Regardless of which side these people belong to, when they come across rare treasures, most of them shout loudly, and hold them in their hands and examine them carefully with excitement and an expression of love that makes them reluctant to let go.

Every time this happened, they looked like an old pervert seeing a peerless beauty, with light in their eyes.

Han Li sat on the chair he bought yesterday and took out a book from his bag and started reading.

A dog and a cat kept a close eye on the appraisers and assessors to prevent them from secretly putting anything into their pockets, not even a handful of dirt.

If the two little guys see anyone doing this, they will immediately bare their teeth, make a hunting roar in their throats, and slowly walk towards that person.

These people are not fools, and fools cannot become appraisers or appraisers. After several threats from cats and dogs, those who had ulterior motives all became obedient.

Kenan Spencer was still very fast, but Han Li couldn't read the book after he came back.

If there are only ten lawyers in the world, eight and a half of them are chatterboxes. They can talk about anything and will never bore their clients.

The other semi-talkative lawyer doesn't want to talk to his clients, but simply doesn't want to talk to people who have little money.

Han Li was just trying to get some information from Kenan Spencer about real estate and land at this time, so the two of them sat aside, one drinking tea and the other drinking coffee, and started chatting.

Although Han Li had a lot of things, since today was only a preliminary identification, these people were not slow in processing them.

Everyone had lunch in the warehouse at noon. Han Li called the restaurant and asked them to deliver the food according to their respective requests.

After lunch, without much rest, the foreigners started working and by around four in the afternoon they had finished everything.

These appraisers and assessors were all smiling happily, because many of the objects they handled today were quite rare antiques.

Han Li looked at the antiques that had been cleaned up and sorted into boxes, and then looked at the detailed list and introduction in his hand. He was filled with surprises. The gold coins that Han Li had found in the village of Hoxne in Suffolk, England, and in the cave of the Scottish pirate captain.

Among them, more than 60 ancient Roman Auris gold coins are very, very rare antiques because they are in good condition.

[Two thousand years later, a Roman gold coin of Auris was auctioned in England for 420 million US dollars, which is equivalent to million Chinese yuan.]

This is nothing. The most precious and scarce among these gold coins is a "March 15" commemorative gold coin from the ancient Roman period. It is not an exaggeration to describe these two gold coins as rare in the world.

[Let’s not talk about the value of the “March 15” commemorative gold coin for now. As there are only three of them in the world, its status in the collection world is unmatched by other gold coins.]

Although the remaining gold coins are not too scarce in the market, each one can easily be exchanged for one year's salary of an ordinary person in the Western Continent.

As for those silver coins and copper coins, their values ​​vary, but their value is not as high as that of gold coins, so I will not go into details here.

As for the silver tableware, it included wine glasses, plates, water containers, incense burners, reliquaries, crosses, and religious ritual objects.

Because the quality is good and they are a complete set without any missing items, the appraiser gave them a very high price.

As for the silver tableware used by church leaders for their own use or to entertain guests, it is relatively common in Western Europe and there are large quantities of it. Moreover, it is not made by famous artists, so the price naturally cannot go up.

Han Li submitted the fan bones of the folding fans that he had hoped for, which were made of metal and inlaid with gemstones. The appraiser gave his origins and the evaluator gave a rough estimate of their prices.

Although these things are not cheap, they are a little bit below Han Li's expectations.

The prices of the most numerous silver spoons, silver candlesticks, silver statuettes, gold and silver jewelry, and copper products also vary, so I will not go into details here.

The statues and sculptures from different countries sponsored by English societies are almost all modern products and are worthless compared to the things mentioned above.

The story does not end here. Among this pile of things, the porcelains that Han Li originally paid the least attention to gave him a big surprise after the appraiser confirmed their age and origin.

According to several appraisers, these porcelains are products of the Prussian period and are items from KPM.

At that time, Prussia was the largest exporter of luxury goods in Western Europe because they produced these porcelains.

The fine porcelain produced by Prussian KPM became the exclusive products of the nobility and royal families in Western Europe.

The porcelain they produced was known as "white gold of Western Europe" at the time. Ordinary people used wooden plates and had never even seen porcelain.

Therefore, to be able to use porcelain one had to be at least a noble or a member of the church, which meant that it was worth a lot of money.

However, due to the limited conditions today, these appraisers can only give a rough appraisal of these porcelains. If you want to confirm their true year, origin, and value, you need to go to a professional place and use professional equipment.

Han Li didn't care much about the origins of these porcelains. What he cared about was what kind of profit he could get from picking up these pieces of rubbish.
