chapter 8 mutton fat jade

After writing the last line, Chloe Yelenski put down the pen and asked him: "Have you had breakfast?"

Daven Walker: "I've eaten."

Chloe Yelenski nodded, stood up, invited Daven Walker to sit on the sofa opposite the desk, and made tea for him.

Then, she briefly explained the company's situation to Daven Walker. The main business projects of Tianhua Art Co., Ltd. include art collection, maintenance, paid treasure appraisal, mortgage, consulting and other services. The most core project is the art collection.

The company's target customers are mostly wealthy people, who can buy artworks as investments; they can also sell or rent their collections through the company.

Last year, Draco Company's turnover exceeded 6 billion and its after-tax profit was 850 million. It is a very powerful company and has a certain influence in the industry.

Chloe Yelenski is the company's investment consultant, and the clients she is responsible for are all wealthy businessmen. Her main job is to help wealthy people buy and sell collections and give professional advice.

In the past ten years, the art market has been in a period of rapid growth, forming a large market worth tens of billions.

After roughly understanding the situation of Draco Company, Daven Walker was secretly stunned. He did not expect that this company has such strong financial resources!

Chloe Yelenski: "You are my assistant, and you mainly help me complete my work. When I go out, you are the driver. In the company, you are the secretary. When I am on a business trip, you are the accompanying person. Do you understand what I say?"

Daven Walker nodded quickly: "Understood."

After roughly introducing the company, Chloe Yelenski took out two contracts, one was a transaction contract for Daven Walker to sell silver coins, and the other was a labor contract for Daven Walker to join Draco Company.

He took a brief look and signed readily.

Seeing his happy look, a smile flashed in Chloe Yelenski beautiful eyes and she said, "Daven Walker, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you? You dare to sign a two million contract at a glance?"

Daven Walker chuckled: "If I couldn't trust you, I wouldn't sit here. Besides, being tricked by a beautiful woman is also a blessing."

Chloe Yelenski gave him a look, then handed him a form and asked him to fill in his bank account number and identity information. The money would be credited to his account within eight hours of the contract taking effect.

After filling out the form, someone will take it to go through the process.

Chloe Yelenski stood up and said that she would take Daven Walker to the company's warehouse to have a look. All artworks consigned by the company's customers, as well as artworks invested by the company, are stored in the warehouse.

According to Chloe Yelenski, the collections that can be put into storage have extremely high collection value, at least in the millions. The total value of the collection in the entire warehouse exceeds five billion!

Daven Walker couldn't help but get excited at the thought of seeing billions of works of art right away.

When she went downstairs, she handed Daven Walker a car key. When Wu Dong arrived at the garage, he discovered that Chloe Yelenski's car was a BMW X6, a car equipped for her by the company.

Although Chloe Yelenski is young, she is already one of the most famous consultants in Draco Company. She brings tens of millions of profits to the company every year and is highly regarded by the board of directors.

Of course, the company was also very generous to Chloe Yelenski and equipped her with two cars, one was a BMW X6 and the other was a Mercedes-Benz S350. In addition, the company also purchased a villa worth tens of millions for her.

Daven Walker had never driven such a million-dollar luxury car. He was a little confused at first, but he successfully drove the car out of the garage under Chloe Yelenski's guidance.

Daven Walker was a little nervous at first, but after driving for a while, he gradually relaxed and drove more smoothly. And with the help of clairvoyance, his driving skills have also been greatly improved.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at a warehouse in the suburbs.

The warehouse is surrounded by armed security personnel patrolling 24 hours a day and is heavily guarded!

After passing through three gates, the two were able to enter the warehouse area.

Only then did Daven Walker realize that the security of the warehouse was handed over to a professional security company. It can be said that the risk of robbing a warehouse is much higher than that of robbing a bank, and thieves will never patronize this place.

Taking a step back, even if the items in the warehouse are stolen, Draco Company can still get compensation from the insurance company, and there will be no big losses.

Accompanied by three security personnel, the two entered the warehouse.

The warehouse is very empty, with thousands of square meters of space divided into several areas. Calligraphy and paintings are placed separately, porcelain is placed separately, and jade and gemstones are placed together specifically.

All items are stored in smart anti-theft devices. Even a slight vibration or slight touch will trigger an alarm.

Chloe Yelenski pointed to an area on her left hand and said, "This is the jade and gem area."

The jade and gemstone area is separated by a wooden fence, covering an area of ​​about one hundred square meters. He glanced around and saw field yellow stones, chicken blood stones, Hetian jade, jade, diamonds, rubies and so on.

Among them is a walnut-sized piece of Hetian jade seed material, which is moist in texture. The instruction manual next to it says that it weighs 71.35 grams and is priced at 2.88 million, with an average value of 40,000 per gram!

His eyes widened and he muttered: "This kind of jade is so valuable!"

Chloe Yelenski smiled slightly: "Have you ever heard of mutton-fat jade? It refers to this grade of Hetian jade."

As she said that, she pointed to a piece of Hotan seed material next to her that was as big as a watermelon and said: "This piece of seed material is relatively large, weighing twenty-five kilograms. Because the stone skin is thick, there is no way to determine it without unraveling it." Its internal condition. This also results in its value being relatively low, only 25 million."

Twenty-five million? Daven Walker eyes widened and he said it was so expensive!

Chloe Yelenski also mentioned the origin of this large piece of seed material. Five years ago, Draco Company sent people to attend the Western Jade Trading Conference. Among the people who went there was a jade expert who thought the material was good. I persuaded the senior management to spend 10 million to buy this piece of seed material. Five years later, the price of this piece of seed material has risen to 25 million.

Daven Walker carefully observed the jade material and unconsciously used his clairvoyance ability. After observing the inside of the jade material, he found that the internal texture of this piece of seed material was uniform and the density was consistent.

After reading it, he pondered for a while and continued to observe the sky-high price "Muet Fat Jade" that Chloe Yelenski had introduced. He discovered that the texture and characteristics of the two pieces of jade were highly similar!

He couldn't help but his heart was beating wildly and he said, "It would be great if this piece of material was all made of mutton fat and beautiful jade."

Chloe Yelenski rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking about? If it were all suet beauty, it would be worth at least 500 million!"

Wu Dong's eyes flashed and he asked again: "Are you selling this piece of material?"

"Of course I sold it, and I often recommend it to clients. However, the risk of betting on stones is too great, and most clients have no intention of investing."

Then, she guided Daven Walker to see calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, bronzes, etc.

In the process of appreciating these works of art, Daven Walker gradually discovered that cultural relics from different dynasties have different atmospheres of the times. Moreover, literary works from the same dynasty but from different periods also have different atmospheres of the times.

For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the atmosphere of the prosperous Kangxi and Qing Dynasties was very different from that of the late Qing Dynasty; and in the Ming Dynasty, there were differences between the Hongwu period and the Jiajing period.

In addition to the breath of the times, he can also see the breath of individuals. For example, Tang Bohu's paintings have their own unique flavor. This kind of aura can only be felt but cannot be expressed in words. He can recognize it at a glance!
