Chapter 46: Heart of the Ranch

So Charlie held him in the comfort and said, "Don't do this, brother. Actually, this is a good opportunity. You need money, don't you? The jazz has left you more important territory. You need money to develop your territory, so, Why not sell the hymns? "
Adams agreed: "I understand what you think, Wang, but obviously you need money to do more important things, so selling hymns is the best option right now."
"When your territory develops, you can buy back what you previously sold," adds Gregory, the auction director.
After showing enough entanglement and psychological struggle, Pharaoh reluctantly handed the hymn to Gregor, and then lay on the table with his face covered: he was afraid he laughed excitedly.
Grigor began a careful inspection with two experts. They spent two full hours, in addition to studying paper, handwriting, ink, and even inspecting each page.
In the end, Gregor nodded to Adams, and Adams walked over. After a few words of conversation, the latter became serious.
Wang Bo's heart also hung up, but don't suddenly tell him that this is a fake, he can't take the blow.
The first edition of "Sacred Poems in the Bay" only issued 1,700 sets, but many imitation editions appeared later. These editions were not for selling money by fakes, but were expensive in Luoyang. They were reproduced by the believers themselves.
It is also because of the large number of reprints that the original "Sacred Poems of the Bay" will be largely lost. Otherwise, most of the 1,700 books will be in major libraries, and there will always be hundreds of copies left.
Most of the 11 remaining hymns in the world are now kept in institutions such as the Library of Congress and Harvard University Library in New York. Among them, there are 2 books in the Old South Church in Boston, and 1 book each in the United States Library of Congress, Yale University, and Brown University.
Adams and Gregory shook hands with Wang Bo after talking, vigorously shaking his wrist and saying, "Congratulations, Wang, you have the twelfth" Bay Hymn "in our hands. As far as we know, this is also after 1947 It ’s a blessing that this book appears again in the world! "
Wang Bo pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for your congratulations, but I know this is the original version of the hymn, because my godfather's family are devout Christians, they are old nobles, and the collected hymns must be the first version. Originally, I had confidence in this. "
Charlie was lamented. The old jazz was too stubborn and occluded. If he played the Internet or cared more about the outside world, why was his finances so embarrassing in his old age?
However, he immediately thought that the old jazz would rather borrow the usury than sell the red box stubbornness and pride, maybe he would not sell even if he knew that there was a poem in his hand.
The two sides praised the Roberts family and finally reached the subject. Adams asked: "King, my man, do you have any thoughts on this hymn?"
He had a lot of ideas, but he kept his normal mind and said, "I'm in a mess now. I don't have any ideas. What about you?"
Adams said: "I have two suggestions, one is that you sell the hymn to us, and we are willing to buy it at twice the starting price; the second is that you may be able to commission us to auction because our one month later, our group It's a great opportunity to hold a spring sale in New York. "
The first suggestion was that Wang Bo should not accept it. Adams gave twice the starting price. This book last appeared in the auction. The starting price was US $ 6 million and it eventually sold for US $ 14.16 million.
If you follow Adams' suggestion, it will be 12 million US dollars, so Pharaoh feels that he is too bad.
The second suggestion is good. He is not in a hurry to spend money. Besides, he has some money in hand, so the two sides can cooperate.
But it matters, and close to $ 20 million worth of valuables, such cooperation requires the presence of a lawyer.
Wang Bo's most trusted lawyer was Mueller, but he was obviously unable to catch up, so he held a video conference, Mueller participated in the meeting through the camera.
The end result is that he commissioned the hymn to Christie's for a New York spring sale, but the price must be higher than $ 12 million. If it is not reached, Wang Bo will withdraw the authorization and only need to pay Christie's $ 50,000 in publicity fees.
As for the auction price of more than $ 12 million, Christie's will charge a commission fee of 7.6%-normally 9.8%. Mueller used a three-inch tongue to negotiate with Adams, and finally reduced the commission fee. Up 2.2 percentage points.
Christie's needs this auction because their biggest competitor, Sotheby's, just made a book like this and they're going to fight back!
Under the witness of both parties, this book was sent to the safe of Christie's New Zealand's New Zealand Bank headquarters at ANZ. Since then, Wang Bo will not have to worry about it. If there is a problem with the book, Christie's will carry it for 14.17 million Compensation.
Lunch was for Adams, and several people had a big meal at the Green Olive Hotel.
During the meeting Adams and Gregor popularized some of the auction industry's knowledge and hidden rules for Wang Bo. They were very interested in Wang Bo, because Pharaoh declared shamelessly that his godfather left him something else. s things.
For this kind of news, Adams must be more credible than unbelievable, so before the two sides exchanged all the contact methods that can be contacted, this is the difference.
After lunch, the helicopter whistled and flew towards Sunset Town.
During this trip to Wellington, Wang Bo did not expect to be able to reap so much. If all goes well, he will be a millionaire after a month!
Suddenly transformed into a rich man, Wang Bo was in a good mood. After returning to the sunset town, he cooked a few dishes to celebrate the same day. As a result, Charlie and the cowboys had a lot of alcohol. Under the table.
Lying in bed stupidly, Pharaoh habitually opened the sand table. When he found that the tray turned pale green, he chose to use it. The tray turned, the pointer stopped on the heart of the territory, and then a 'ranch' Heart 'appeared.
He was already confused, and after seeing the heart of the ranch, his mind would not turn, and he fell asleep.
After getting up in the morning, Pharaoh comfortably stretched his waist, and immediately remembered the heart of the ranch he had drawn last night.
In this way, he was startled and quickly opened the sand table. Fortunately, the heart of the ranch did not disappear. A slab of grass appeared above the sand table, and the grass was neatly grassed, and the wind blew the leaves.
No doubt, this is the heart of the pasture. It looks like a neat and beautiful prairie, which looks extremely pleasing to the eye.
Pharaoh thought about it and chose to install this ranch heart on the grass in the southern part of the territory. Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
