Sakura Chiyoou was a little excited when she spoke. This time she was really enlightened.
While auctions on television usually feature antiques, these auctions mostly feature new items, with gemstones and various specimen collections being the most numerous.
In fact, in today's society, many people can see the value of antiques and collectibles, and generally no one will put antiques up for auction.
Those who put things up for auction must be the kind of people who are desperate, or who are looking for a bargain, or who are greedy for money and are eager to sell.
How could such an item be leaked out of the auction items that can appear in the aristocratic auction?
Only ordinary people would auction off heirlooms, but ordinary people do not have the ability to appear at such auctions.
They are also particularly averse to fakes. Compared with things that may be fake antiques, they prefer to collect items whose age and value can be seen at a glance.
"By the way, I also saw a potted coral plant. It was red coral, planted in a pot and grown like a flower. It was sold for 19 euros."
Corals planted in soil?
If you haven't seen it, you would really think that Sakura Chiyo is talking nonsense.
Lin Sheng had actually seen it before. It was something that only ancient emperors could afford to play with.
There are some in the Forbidden City. Coral grows one inch every 20 years. You can tell its age by looking at its size.
So there is no need to wonder why corals in pots are so valuable.
If there is a chance, Lin Sheng would also like to take a picture of it, but unfortunately such national treasures are hard to come by.
"If you like auctions, we can go and see them if we have the chance."
Chapter 1034 As the saying goes, whether you make money or not depends on fate.
"If you like auctions so much, we can go and see them later."
"Well, okay, I'll go take a shower first." After finishing the dessert, Sakura Chiyoou got up.
Although she had no money left, she still wanted to take Lin Sheng out to broaden his horizons and maybe even serve as a guide for him.
Lin Sheng played with the watch on his left hand that was given to him by Sakura Chiyo.
This watch is really beautiful. It is not one of those watches inlaid with diamonds and gold-plated ones. Its page is very smooth and has patterns of stars, sun and moon.
Swiss watches are absolutely guaranteed to be usable even after a hundred years, not to mention fifty.
Likewise, the older the watch is, the more valuable it will be.
The nobles would also pass it down from generation to generation and treasure it like antiques.
Some people say that Tang Bohu's paintings start at tens of millions, but tens of millions may not be enough to buy this watch.
It is a dual crystallization of art and technology.
Sakura Chiyoou really gave him a big surprise.
Any machine will have errors, even electronic watches will have errors, and these errors will become more and more obvious over time.
This is because time is calculated starting from milliseconds. Any slight deviation in milliseconds will affect the following seconds, minutes and hours.
If the seconds are a little higher, the minutes will also be a little higher, and similarly the hours will also be a little higher.
The longer the time, the greater the error.
Unless it is an online schedule, there will be no errors.
Swiss watches are able to reduce this error to a negligible level, allowing time to be displayed accurately simply by the rotation of gears.
This gift is very valuable.
Xiao Chiyo bought this for him and he knew what it meant.
"But your sister Maru won't allow me to do that to you."
Even if he knew what it meant, Lin Sheng didn't dare to do anything to her.
After a while, Sakura Chiyo came out wearing a yukata, holding a mobile phone in her hand and talking on the phone.
"Oh, okay, please."
After hanging up the phone, she saw Lin Sheng still on the sofa, so she walked over, her tone sincere and a little humble.
"Well... I have something to tell you. Don't be angry yet. I can't transfer all my money due to a limit. I have to go to the bank in person after I get home. Can you lend me some money first?"
"I promise! I swear! I will definitely pay you back. I can even write you an IOU and use my stuff to pay it back."
"Oh." Lin Sheng knew what was going on. If her bank card was at home, the transfer amount would be too large, and at least her ID card would be needed to process the huge remittance.
She can choose to mail her ID card back or send her bank card over, but cross-border or even cross-continental mailing is not that easy.
In this day and age, if you don’t have special channels, you can’t even find a courier company, let alone send it by mail.
Even if it can be found, the delivery time can be as short as half a month or as long as a month, and there is a 25% risk of package loss.
The package loss rate for international mail is very high, and even after ten years there will still be a 5% package loss rate.
In this case, it is not safe to send your ID card or bank card.
"If you want to send a bank card, you can actually ask Miss Tezuna for help, or ask Miss Yayoi to help you solve the transfer problem. She will definitely be able to solve it."
"Huh? Is this okay?" Sakura Chiyo's brows began to relax. If the money could be transferred directly, the faster the better.
"But I'm not familiar with them." She became worried again, and then looked at Lin Sheng.
"I'll just tell them. You can ask your mother to go to the bank again."
"Oh." Sakura Chiyo immediately sent a message on his mobile phone.
I don’t know if Akigawa Yayoi is busy. If she is, Lin Sheng can also ask Ben Riko for help.
Fortunately, after Akikawa Yayoi learned about this, she immediately agreed and did it.
She doesn't need to go to the bank, she just needs to call it.
The process was quick, and in less than half an hour, Sakura Chiyo received a message from the bank confirming the successful transfer.
When I came out of the shower, I felt happy.
"It worked, thank you."
"You're welcome. Oh, by the way, Chiyoko, I'm actually quite good at making money. If you're just saving your money and not using it, would you consider investing it with me?"
"Hmm?" Sakura Chiyoou thought about it. She didn't know whether Lin Sheng could make money or not. She only knew that Lin Sheng was really rich, so there was no need to worry about losing money.
She participated in the Dream Cup last year and still had a lot of prize money left from the Dream Cup.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was not a bad idea to give the money to Lin Sheng.
"This is it." Lin Sheng snapped his fingers. "If you make money, I won't take a cent. If you lose money, it's mine. I will give you at least 20% interest every year."
"20%? That high?"
"Oh, because I don't want to make money from you in the first place. You will definitely make money, and it will be more than 20%. I am just helping you while making my own money. I won't lose anything either."
"Oh." Sakura Chiyo-oh didn't think much about it, "I believe you, so I'll leave my money with you."
As she spoke, she directly transferred all the remaining money to Mr. Lin.
"Wait, don't you need to sign a contract or something?"
"Oh, why make it so complicated? I just trust you. With Sister Wan here, I'm not afraid of you lying to me."
That’s true.
Lin Sheng nodded and glanced at the watch on his hand. Compared with this watch, the money she gave him was nothing.
When Mr. Lin asked her to invest, he would tell her that she made a lot of money, whether she actually made any profit or not, and then he would give her a little more money. That's it.
However, her behavior was too hasty. She shouldn't trust others easily. I must have a good talk with her later.
"It doesn't matter if you don't make any money. I don't need 20% interest. As the saying goes, whether you make money or not depends on fate. Just invest seriously and that's all."
Sakura Chiyo was afraid that Lin Sheng would feel burdened, so he mentioned it again.
"Wow, I didn't realize, little brother, you can do business and invest."
Maruzen Skiing and Sakura Crown also came out of the shower at this time.
"Then do you want to help your sister buy some shares?" Maruzen Skiing said with a smile.
"Uh... forget it." Lin Sheng started to refuse. He just wanted to help Xiao Chiyo. It would be boring if you joined in the fun.
"Chiyoko has little money, so it doesn't matter if you lose it. I can just make up for it. Your family is so rich, you don't even need to invest."
"Ha, you are not honest, little brother. Why is it okay for Chiyo but not for her sister?" Maruzen pinched Lin Sheng's side playfully.
"Since you are my sister, there is no need to be so clear about the distinction. Isn't my money your money? My money is already working, so I don't need to invest your money."
Lin Sheng hurriedly explained.
Because Lin Sheng doesn't earn money to keep it all for himself, it doesn't matter if he gives it to her.
When her money comes in, she still has to figure out whose money it is, which would be a bit hurtful.
There is no need to calculate so clearly.
"Oh, then do you need more investment? Not in the form of shares, but as a sister supporting you."
"No need." Lin Sheng waved his hand, "That's enough."
He feels that no matter how much money he invests now, it is meaningless unless Moutai goes public.
"Oh, okay." Sakura Laurel answered a phone call and went out.
When she came back again, she was holding a pot of red coral in her hand.
"Oh, oh, oh! Look at that! That's it! It's red coral! So it was Laurel who got the pot of red coral?"
Chapter 1035 You've Found a Treasure
"Ahem." Sakura Laurel came over holding the pot of red coral.
"Oh! Is that really you, Laurel? Why didn't I see you at the auction?"
"Haha, don't make a fuss. I saw you." Sakura Laurel smiled. She remembered that Sakura Chiyoou raised the card once and then gave up.
"That's right, she won't scream like that in the auction house, will she?" Lin Sheng said embarrassedly. If she really was like that, he really wouldn't dare to accompany her to the auction house. She might be beaten out with sticks for such noise.
"Hehe, no." Sakura Chiyoou calmly sat back on the sofa.
Yelling like this is ungraceful, but this is my character as Chiyo-oh, do you understand?
"Is this red coral?" Lin Sheng asked curiously, staring at the pot of red coral.
"Well, I was planning to give this red coral to you, Viscount Lin Sheng. Please accept it."
"For me again?" Why does it feel like she just changed her mind and gave it to me at the last minute?
"Well, if Viscount Lin Sheng likes it, please feel free to accept it. You're welcome."
"Yes, yes, it's a gift from Laurel, so just accept it." Sakura Chiyo urged and pushed Lin Sheng, as if she also had a share.
Now that things have come to this, it would be bad not to accept it.
Lin Sheng nodded, took the coral from Sakura Laurel's hand, and placed it on the tea table.
Sakura Chiyo immediately came over to take a look, "Wow, it's real coral, growing on land?"
She touched it with her hand, but her fingertips didn't feel any plants, but rather like touching stone.
"Corals live in the sea, this one is definitely not alive." Lin Sheng observed the coral carefully and said.
This coral is not very big and appears to be only about three hundred years old.
It is said that the Forbidden City has thousand-year-old corals, which are truly priceless treasures.
This coral is not very old, but it is very beautiful. It has many branches and leaves that are spread out like the flowers of a cycad.
In terms of value, it is about the same as what they bid. However, Mr. Lin dares to say that within three to five years, the price will double.
"Ah? So it's not alive?" Sakura Chiyoou felt that his joy was in vain.
Lin Sheng also felt very sorry about this.
Corals are formed by coral polyps in the deep sea by eating plankton and then breaking down the plankton into organic matter.
It can be said that corals themselves are an animal family, not a plant family.
They are not plants and cannot survive in the soil.
They grow very slowly, one inch in 20 years. This red coral is equivalent to a kind of jade and can be made or carved into ornaments.
