254. Precious bottle (time alliance +4)

Seeing that there was a bottle that attracted his attention, Hans became excited and asked, "How is this bottle?"

"It's good, it's good, it's the first Santa version of Coke bottle produced by Coca-Cola in 1922, with the purpose of celebrating Christmas."

"You just said it was a collector's version?" Li Du mentioned the keywords.

Ball nodded and said, "Yes, you know, in 1922, Coca-Cola had not become a popular drink, and even fewer people drank this drink in winter. Therefore, not many bottles were produced, and at that time, less than 5,000 bottles were sold."

Hans praised: "You really know the history of these beverage families, and you know it very well."

Ball is a person who likes to listen to good things, and he said proudly: "Of course, and I know this version of Coca-Cola especially because I have some related peripheral products."

Li Du was shocked and thought he had collected this bottle.

Ball went upstairs and took two large picture frames down, which contained two quaint and old posters.

Among these two posters, the first one is Santa greeting the children who stayed up late to wait for him, and the children were drinking Coke to refresh themselves.

The second picture is quite interesting. Santa Claus took two children and then quietly opened the refrigerator to steal Coke.

The second poster is very good, showing the old man's careful and alert expression to the fullest. It can be seen at a glance that he is stealing Coke with his children.

What’s even more interesting is that the Santa Claus on these two posters is in different colors. The first one is wearing a green coat, and the second one turns into red.

Ball asked the two of them to come over and look at the poster carefully, and said, "Look at the first picture and look carefully. What does the drink bottle in the child's hand have to do with our current one?"

Although the first poster is not as exquisite as the second one, the coke bottle in the child's hand is highlighted, so you can still see its specific appearance clearly.

Just like the coke bottle they brought, the figure of green Santa Claus was on the bottle they were holding, and the two were exactly the same shape.

Hans suddenly said, "This poster was released to promote this version of Coca-Cola, right?"

Ball nodded happily: "Yes, that's it."

Hans asked, “Is that the Santa Green Bottle the most valuable of all bottles?”

Ball nodded again and said, "Yes, I can give you 20,000 yuan for this bottle. I can pay one thousand yuan for the first edition of ordinary Coke bottles."

Li Du felt that the price was not low, but Hans was not satisfied and said, "Man, you are an expert. You know that these bottles are all works of art, and some are still collector's editions of art, which may be out of print now."

Ball said: "You're so exaggerating. They're just glass bottles after all. If you have space cans, I can give you a quote of 100,000!"

The space can is also a bottle of Coca-Cola. It looks very similar to an aluminum can, but it is full of high-tech elements.

This type of jar was born in 1985. Space fever was popular all over the world, and Coca-Cola spent a lot of money to design this bottle.

The inside of the bottle is complex. Even if there is no gravity after entering space, there will still be no coke floating out when you open the bottle cap.

After the design of the space can was successfully adopted by NASA, the astronauts took it out of the earth, thus Coca-Cola set a record, becoming the first soft drink to fly into space.

This is not the end. In 1995, 10 years after entering space, Coca-Cola simply sent a cold drink machine to the sky, which could provide astronauts with a refreshing diet Coke and Coca-Cola. This was the first time the cold drink machine worked in space.

Whether it is a space can or a space version of the cold drink machine, they have high technological content and high prices.

However, Coca-Cola did not intend to put them on the market, but was just used for advertising.

For a fanatical drink collector like Ball, Space Can is an absolute star, but unfortunately, such a star is out of reach and cannot be bought at all.

"We don't have space cans, but the value of these bottles shouldn't be less than space cans. Man, they're all artworks with a long history, and when they were born our grandparents didn't even have them!"

Ball asked with his eyes narrowed, "Okay, then tell me, how much do you want to sell these jars?"

"In 1922, Santa Claus bottles cost 40,000 yuan each, and the first version of Coke bottles cost 2,000 yuan each!" Hans said firmly.

Ball shook his head and said, "No, this price is too outrageous..."

"For bottles, this is certainly outrageous, but they are not ordinary bottles, they are all works of art with a century of history!"

Hans picked up the Santa Claus bottle and continued, "Man, we did a survey before coming. Now this bottle is only available in the Coca-Cola company museum, and it is unique in other places."

Ball said: "Yes, that's true, but you want to sell a bottle for 40,000 yuan? This is simply crazy!"

Li Du said: "It's better to calm our mood on such a hot day. It's better to do this. Let's take a step back and how about this bottle selling for 30,000 yuan?"

Ball tapped the table with his finger and said, "It's still too expensive, 28,000 yuan, this is my lowest price!"

Hans and Li Du looked at each other, and Li Du said, "Let's listen to him because this guy invited us to drink a nice cold drink."

Upon hearing this, Ball laughed and stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation, guys."

Hans shook hands with him vigorously and smiled happily: "Happy cooperation, thank you for buying our goods. I can see from your eyes that you bought happiness."

Ball laughed and said, "Of course, of course, these crystal-clear little things can bring happiness to people, right?"

Ten of the twelve bottles were first-version green bottles, and two were collector's version of Santa Claus bottles. A total of 70,000 yuan was sold, of which the first-version green bottles were sold for 14,000 yuan.

Ball transferred the money to Hans' account, and Hans handed him the bottle, and the two sides shook hands again.

Drinking Coke, Hans asked again: "You have so many bottles, you must also need tools to store them. If we have two vending machines, are you interested in getting them?"

Ball asked with interest: "What model is it?"

Hans said: "The great model, Peak-Shift, is 80% new, and the features are absolutely fine."

Ball drank the coke in the bottle in one sip, then waved, "You follow me, I'll let you see something."
