America’s Treasure King - vChapter 25
According to the rules of the competition, after the eight contestants photographed the warehouse, the subsequent sorting must be done by an assistant, and the eight contestants sat behind the booth and waited.
This is also the painstaking work of the main committee of the competition. They want their assistants to show high quality, to see if they have the eyesight to pick out the hidden treasures.
If the assistants want to get a share of the pie and get the title of gold medal collectors, it is not something that can be obtained by the little guys who are serving tea and water.
In this job, Li Xiaoshuai still trusts Frank very much. Although this guy’s luck is not very good, he still has eyesight. As long as it’s valuable, he won’t miss it.
And today, the assistants who are in charge of sorting treasures only need to sort in the warehouse, pick up the good ones, pack the junk and leave them outside the warehouse door immediately, and the association will send a special person to handle the rest.
In the back, there are several veteran owners of second-hand stores in New York. Some people Li Xiaoshuai knows, and they are all people who often deal with business.
After a while, I saw Frank running over hysterically, shouting, “Lee, we found a treasure!”
“How is that possible?” Li Xiaoshuai heard Louis, who was sitting beside him, muttering to himself.
Li Xiaoshuai said, what is impossible? Seeing babies that others can’t see, that’s my specialty. If it’s like the first few warehouses, everyone can see everything, then I’m still earning a ghost, and I won’t use it.
Compared with me, that is your misfortune, and you are not familiar with me, so you will suffer even more. If you can’t know yourself and the enemy, how can you fight?
In the blink of an eye, Frank arrived, and the table in front of Li Xiaoshuai was surrounded. Ferdinand is on the left, Bob is on the right, and a cameraman is waiting beside him.
Behind them are the treasure pickers branch presidents of seven states, and there are dense onlookers behind them.
“Let Jean, Jean Jean” Frank squeezed into the middle with difficulty, and took out a string of black shiny pearl necklaces from his pocket.
“My God, is this a Tahitian black pearl?” Bob exclaimed.
Wow, it’s a black pearl necklace, and the cameraman got excited too, aiming at the necklace on the table and taking a snap.
Tahitian black pearl is a special product of diving lagoons in French Polynia in the South Pacific.
The cultivation of Tahitian black pearls is very difficult. The process of cultivating pearl oysters is very long and easy to die. In addition to the influence of weather and water quality, the finished product is very rare. It is said that every 15,000 mother-of-pearls are opened to find a natural pearl. .
Pearls are susceptible to weather and water quality impacts during cultivation, such as tornadoes or rising water temperatures. It is these factors that lead to the formation of irregular, semi-irregular and ring pearls. It is these factors that make perfect pearls very rare
Royal nobles from all over the world have always liked to wear jewelry embedded with black pearls, which makes it enjoy the reputation of “Queen’s Pearl” and “Queen of Pearls”. The most famous of these natural black pearls, Azra, was the centerpiece of a necklace in the Russian tsar’s royal jewelry.
“Come on, let’s see.” Several branch presidents forced their way to the table, and they carefully observed the black pearl necklace still in Bob’s hand.
This necklace, the beads are quite round and shiny, the only drawback is that the diameter is a bit small, the largest one on the chest is only about five millimeters.
Some presidents also said that it seems to be a little smaller.
Bob: “This is a black pearl, and it can be worth tens of thousands of dollars at a young age. Haha. It seems that in today’s game, our New Jersey is going to take the top spot.”
Here are a few competing treasure hunters who also squeezed in and asked the presidents: “How can there be such good things in this garbage warehouse? Have you all seen it clearly, don’t copy it.”
A red-faced old president said, “Don’t underestimate our old man. Even though he is old, he still has some vision. This precious black pearl necklace is the real thing. I still have this standard.
“That’s right, I can watch this stuff too!” Bob also strongly echoed, because this is the glory of their New Jersey treasure hunters.
The bearded Mario from Connecticut shoved Bob away roughly and shouted: “You don’t have to say it, you must let the experts from the second-hand store collectively identify it today, who knows if this is a copycat from Rabbit Country. ”
A second-hand shop owner that Li Xiaoshuai was familiar with came over. This person was called Roy. Li Xiaoshuai had communicated with him about jewelry and knew that he was very proficient in jewelry.
Seeing Roy picking up the black pearl necklace and checking it over and over for a long time, he said cautiously, “This is a string of natural black pearl necklaces worth 30,000 US dollars. It’s not wrong at all.”
The two second-hand shop owners on the side also agreed that it was true.
Mario waited for a long time, but this result came. His beard was raised in anger, and he shouted: “This game is not fair, you New Jersey and New York are a group, and they are partnering to deceive us.”
“Are you doubting my morals?” Appraiser Roy was also annoyed.
Li Xiaoshuai sullenly said to several branch presidents, this person is too unreasonable, and he should be disqualified from the competition.
Victor from Massachusetts will also put the samurai sword his assistant picked up from the warehouse on the table, and he also shouted for the appraiser to come and take a look.
This shouting attracted the crowd again.
After a while, it was identified. This is a samurai sword of the officer level. The preservation is not very good. It is now worth 2,000 US dollars.
Louise of New Hampshire, his assistant was still beaming, and pushed the engine of the Audi A8 he picked up with a small cart, but when they heard that Li Xiaoshuai had picked up a black pearl necklace worth 30,000 US dollars, A face suddenly collapsed.
Antonio, who came from Vermont, his assistant also put an old desk clock on the table. After appraisal, this antique clock is worth $7,000. Compared with Li Xiaoshuai’s necklace worth 30,000 yuan, the gap is still huge.
Okay, everything that’s still on the table has already been placed.
Suddenly Frank shouted again: “I found treasure again!”
Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart that this was right. If this guy is not found, I will fire him immediately when I go home. With this thin little piece of paper, no one can shake my status!
Some of the assistants also asked ~www.mtlnovel.com~ what kind of baby is it?
Bob is also very happy. As a recommender, the more treasures Li Xiaoshuai gets, the more face he has. “Frank, what is it, how much is it worth?”
“It’s a million dollar, first edition of the Declaration of Independence”
“Boom” the whole venue was like a hot oil pan was poured into a ladle of cold water, and it exploded immediately. The crowd generally crowded towards Li Xiaoshuai, and everyone wanted to hear what the appraiser had to say.
If it’s true, then Li Ju of the Rabbit Country is a well-deserved number one today. If it’s fake, hehe. . . . . . Some he suffers.
Everyone saw that Frank was holding a thick tome in his hand, and his face was filled with an uncontrollable smile. Running in front of Li Xiaoshuai, Frank opened the hard cover of the book in public and took out a thin piece of paper: “That’s it.”
There will be another old man with a white beard. He took this piece of paper printed with black ink from Frank’s hand, spread it on the table, and stared at it without saying a word.
There was buzzing from behind: “This old man is so old, can he see it accurately?”
“Old-eyed, I hope he doesn’t say the fake is real.”
“It’s been so long, it’s still not good, is it?”
About a quarter of an hour later, the old man said to Li Xiaoshuai with a smile: “Congratulations to your little handsome guy of rabbit nationality, this is a definite work, I can use my reputation to guarantee it!”
“Shit!”
“I don’t agree!”
“This game is tricky, this is a game set up by the New Jersey people!”
Despite the noise, the host of the conference, home to the last regional championship, the Connecticut chapter president, announced that New Jersey’s Li Xiaoshuai was the first.
