Chapter 261 I heard that he is a door-to-door son-in-law
To be honest, if Qiao Yizhao hadn't gone to the consignment house personally to consult, he wouldn't have believed that the watch was worth tens of millions.
But that day, they not only went to one consignment house, but also went to several consecutive stores, and the answers they got were almost the same. The gift Lin Hao gave them, the watch and jade bracelet combined, were worth at least 100 million yuan.
If a consignment house with more strength dared to accept it, they would choose to sell those two things at that time.
"What I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask at the consignment house." After Qiao Yizhao said that, he took out two brocade boxes from his backpack.
Since he knew the value of these two things, he did not dare to keep them at home casually, and would carry them with him wherever he went, as if he was afraid of being stolen by others.
Wu Xiulian pinched Qiao Yizhao's arm hard and whispered: "Is this a little wrong? Why is the old man's illness just happening to be right? As soon as we returned to the family, the company's capital chain had such a big problem."
"It may be a coincidence." Qiao Yizhao answered without thinking. His arm was pinched and he did not dare to make a sound at all.
Wu Xiulian snatched the brocade box containing the jade bracelet and said unhappily: "It's a coincidence! If you want to take it, take your watch. Don't try to touch the jade carving my son-in-law gave me."
"Okay, okay."
Qiao Yizhao quickly agreed and handed over the brocade box containing the watch to the old man. If this watch is really worth tens of millions, it would be enough to fill the gap in the Qiao family company.
The old man had some knowledge. He only looked at the fabric of the brocade box and knew that it must have been made by famous artists. When he opened the watch inside, he could feel that the watch was expensive.
But if it is worth tens of millions, it would be too exaggerated.
"Yi Zhao, I think this watch is worth tens of thousands of yuan at most." Old Master Qiao sighed.
For the company's gap of more than 50 million yuan, tens of thousands of yuan is a drop in the bucket.
"Dad, take a closer look, how could I lie to you?" Qiao Yizhao's tone was very confident.
Sun Guilan said sarcastically: "You can say the value as much as you want. Anyway, no one here can prove whether what you are saying is true or false."
"I have a way."
Zhu Tianpeng, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted: "I know the boss of a consignment store. He is the vice president of the Jiangdong Jewelry and Antiques Association. He has also been very knowledgeable about this precious luxury product. I asked him to help me see it, and I will know whether it is true or false immediately."
Sun Guilan couldn't wait to expose Qiao Yizhao's lies, and immediately agreed: "It's better to ask someone to come and make an appraisal, otherwise some people would have taken a breaking table, but they said they had invested tens of millions of dollars in the company, so we couldn't tell it clearly if we had a mouth."
Without waiting for others to express their opinions, Zhu Tianpeng immediately took out his cell phone and called.
"Hey? Uncle Zhou, I have something to worry about here..."
After about half an hour, an old man with white hair and a long blue gown came to the Qiao family's ancestral home. It was Zhou Tianyuan, vice president of the Jiangdong Jewelry and Antiques Association.
Under Zhu Tianpeng's introduction, Zhou Tianyuan first greeted Mr. Qiao and everyone, and then took the brocade box from Mr. Qiao's hand.
Qiao Yizhao and Wu Xiulian got together and whispered: "Isn't this the boss of the consignment house last time?"
"It was him, he first told us that the watch and jade bracelet combined are worth hundreds of millions."
The two of them had a very high evaluation of Zhou Tianyuan. Because they went to the consignment house last time, they almost got cheated by the shop's shop. They planned to sell their watches and jade bracelets for 250 yuan. Fortunately, they were discovered by the upright Zhou Tianyuan and stopped them in time.
Sun Guilan glanced at them disdainfully: "What are you two muttering about there? Are you afraid that you will be embarrassed after seeing an expert coming, so she has already discussed and prepared to leave."
Wu Xiulian glared at her disdainfully, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Whoever is embarrassed later may be embarrassed."
When Zhou Tianyuan looked at the brocade box, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He hurriedly opened the lid and saw the watch inside. His face suddenly showed such an expression.
"Owner Qiao, I have actually seen this watch once before." Zhou Tianyuan said.
"Have you seen President Zhou before?" Everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces.
Zhou Tianyuan said ashamedly: "Yes, someone took this watch to my store to sell it, but my store is small and has limited working capital, so I have no ability to acquire such a precious treasure."
Qiao Youzhong, Sun Guilan, Qiao Shan and Qiao Miao were all so surprised that they couldn't speak.
Zhu Tianpeng said nervously: "Uncle Zhou, you won't be mistaken, are you?"
Originally, Zhu Tianpeng wanted Zhou Tianyuan to come and slap Qiao Yizhao in the face in public and earn some face for his future mother-in-law Sun Guilan, but he didn't expect to slap himself in the face instead.
At this moment, seeing the faces of Sun Guilan and Qiao Miao and others turned pale, Zhu Tianpeng began to regret calling Zhou Tianyuan over.
"I have been in the jewelry and antique industry for decades and have never misunderstood them. If you can't trust me, why should you call me over?" Zhou Tianyuan said angrily.
Zhu Tianpeng immediately didn't dare to say anything, after all, Zhou Tianyuan was his elder.
Mr. Qiao asked, "Then how much is this watch worth?"
Zhou Tianyuan's eyes patrolled everyone's faces, and then saw Qiao Yizhao and Wu Xiulian. He smiled and nodded, as if he had said hello.
Then he said: "Actually, after I looked at this watch last time, I looked through a lot of information and found out that this watch was produced in Switzerland in the 1940s and 1950s, and a total of 200 yuan was produced.
These watches were manufactured for nine years and are by far the most complex mechanical watch in the world. Look at the shiny things on the dial, they are diamonds with diamonds of more than 140 carats, and a total of 1,200.
The last time this watch appeared in the public eye was at an auction in the US capital ten years ago, and the transaction price was more than 56 million."
“1200 diamonds?”
“More than 140 carats!”
“Made for nine years…”
Qiao Shan and Qiao Miao were surprised, as if they had heard some fantasy. Sun Guilan opened her mouth wide, and the old man and Qiao Youzhong were stunned.
When I first saw the shiny things on this watch, everyone thought it was just cheap crystal products, similar to glass, but I didn't expect it to be real diamonds.
This is a watch inlaid with more than 140 carats of diamonds. It was made for nine years, so its value is naturally immeasurable.
Zhou Tianyuan finally concluded: "According to my estimate, the value of this hand is at least 70 million!"
At this time, no one doubted what Zhou Tianyuan said anymore. Sun Guilan, who had been mocking Qiao Yizhao, buried her head in shame at this time, but when her eyes fell on the watch, a greedy light flashed inadvertently.
