Xie Wan and the clerk both looked at the man who had just entered.
The man has black hair, yellow skin and an oriental face.
The clerk shouted at the man angrily, "Don't mind your own business! This is just an ordinary Chinese gold ornament. I haven't charged her for the loss yet."
The man was not angry. He walked over and said to Xie Wan in a gentlemanly manner, "Beautiful lady, can I see the bracelets on your hands?"
Xie Wan felt that he couldn't just snatch the bracelet away from under her nose, so she handed it to him generously.
While observing carefully, the man said to Xie Wan: "The craftsmanship used for this pair of bracelets is the ancient hammering and engraving method, and the phoenix tail also uses filigree craftsmanship.
Look at this pair of dragon and phoenix, the patterns are dignified and majestic, simple and thick, and are definitely not folk products.
Miss, you are Chinese, right?
He felt guilty because he realized that your bracelets could be sold as Chinese antiques."
This pair of bracelets was not obtained by Xie Wan from southern Fujian.
This was obtained from Zhao Xin when Shi Yu was captured.
So Xie Wan didn’t think that this bracelet had any origin.
Moreover, the quality of the bracelet was so good that she thought it was a modern handicraft.
At this time, the man took out a magnifying glass from his suit pocket, pointed to the inside of the bracelet and said to Xie Wan: "Sure enough, there are the words 'Made in the Daoguang Period of the Qing Dynasty' here."
Xie Wan leaned over to take a closer look, and through the magnifying glass, he actually saw these words.
The words are as small as mosquito legs, and no one knows how they were engraved. When Xie Wan touched it before, he thought it was a flaw.
Xie Wan asked: "Then how much do you think this pair of bracelets is worth?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "At present, the West is very fond of ancient Chinese gold. The craftsmanship of this bracelet is exquisite, and it is imperial jewelry. Although it is not very old, I estimate that if it is auctioned, it should be able to sell for about 10,000 US dollars."
Xie Wan took a look at the man in front of him and thought he should be a rich man.
And he is of Chinese descent.
She simply asked, "Ten thousand dollars, do you want to buy it? I'll sell it to you."
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed.
"Miss, I just saw that you are Chinese and I couldn't bear to see you being fooled, so I told you in a nice way.
I don’t have that much money to buy these flashy things.”
Xie Wan was a little disappointed.
If she were asked to sell the bracelets as ordinary gold now, she would definitely not be willing to do so.
But she didn't know where to sell the antiques.
She had heard that there were several large antique auction houses in London, but she was not sure about the United States.
At this time, the man took out a business card, handed it to Xie Wan and said:
“I work for this art auction company. If you really want to sell this pair of bracelets, you can come back with me to the company and sign an agency auction agreement.
Our company has an auction in a week and we can put this pair of bracelets up for auction.”
Xie Wan looked at the name on the business card. It was in English. The man’s name was Davisi.
Of course she knew that putting the bracelet up for auction would definitely fetch the best price.
But she doesn't have that much time!
She will find a way to rescue Pan Danian in the next two days, and then they will have to find a way to leave Country M immediately.
Seeing Xie Wan's embarrassment, Davidsi guessed that Xie Wan must be in a hurry to take action.
He asked doubtfully, "Miss, are these bracelets really yours?"
Xie Wan choked, glared at the other person and said, "Of course it's mine, but I need the money urgently now and can't wait that long."
Davisi thought for a moment and said, "There is another way. You can mortgage the bracelets to our company for consignment sale, and then you can get some money immediately.
After the bracelet is sold, our company will deduct the mortgage money from the transaction amount, and the rest will be transferred into your account.
Of course, our company will charge a 20% handling fee. "
As the two of them were talking, they had already walked out of the gold shop.
Wang Xiang stood outside the door and finished eating the bread.
I saw Xie Wan and a man with an oriental face coming out, and I went to greet them.
Because he didn't understand the situation, Wang Xiang said nothing and followed Xie Wan silently.
Xie Wan thought about it and agreed to Davisi's proposal.
Fortunately, their company is just across the street, not far away.
Xie Wan followed David Xi to his company and signed a mortgage sale agreement. Based on the appraisal, she first received three thousand US dollars.
Davisy said the remaining money would be transferred into her account, but it could not be transferred into her account in mainland China.
Davisi accompanied Xie Wan to the New York branch of HSBC to open an account.
When Xie Wan saw that there was a securities investment company next to the bank, he suddenly had an idea and remembered that there was a stock in the US stock market that would increase more than 60,000 times in the next few decades.
She asked Davisy, "Do you trade stocks?"
The same look that Xie Wan often saw on the faces of stock investors in his previous life immediately appeared on Davidsi's face.
He sighed and said, "Right now the stock market in Country M is in a mess.
Ms. Xie, please do not rush into the stock market out of curiosity."
Davidsi had already guessed that Xie Wan was from China. He had heard that the economic system there was completely different, and thought that Xie Wan was only asking about the stock market out of curiosity.
Wang Xiang was a little surprised when he saw Xie Wan sell a pair of bracelets and got three thousand US dollars.
However, he was also a man with some knowledge. He felt that Xie Wan must have secretly taken the family heirloom out of the country and sold it.
Fearing that Xie Wan would spend money recklessly, Wang Xiang also advised: "Sister-in-law, the stock market was also used by the Kuomintang before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is a scam. You must not buy it."
