1056. Market (5/5)

Brother Wolf blocked him, and Li Du beckoned: "Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Xiao Ang, let's explain the origin of this jewelry first." ”

Xiao Ang pretended to be calm and said: "This is nothing to explain, I doubt the authenticity of this guy on the other side, you say he is Cole Winston, is he Cole Winston?"

Cole heard his words and smiled, "I can show you my driver's license, but I guess you will question the authenticity of my driver's license when you see it." ”

The young people who gathered around looked confused, things were going beyond their expectations, and no one expected that things would turn out like this.

Li Du didn't hold on to this matter, he knew what the occasion was and who was the protagonist.

Hanging up the phone, he said to Xiao Ang: "Today is Ms. Ariana's birthday, I won't make a fuss, but the jewelry you took out was either stolen from our Harry Winston Group, or infringed our patent rights and intellectual property rights, and our group reserves the right to pursue it." ”

Xiao Ang was a little flustered and said, "You can't scare me, there is no problem with the two pieces of jewelry I bought." ”

Li Du smiled: "If you say it's okay, then it's okay, I hope that when our group lawyers and police contact you in the future, you can insist on saying that." ”

He handed the jewelry to Xiao Ang, who subconsciously wanted to hand it to Ariana.

Ariana already knew what was going on, how could she still accept this gift?Quickly shook her head vigorously with her hands behind her back: "No, no, Xiao Ang, I don't know where you got this jewelry, you'd better return it or return it......"

Xiao Ang looked at her angrily and said, "You don't believe me?"

Ariana didn't know what to say, so she could only look at the others for help.

Hans nudged Potter, who stepped forward to get in front of Ariana.

He wasn't afraid of Xiao Ang, but he didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing before.

At this time, he was pushed out to face Xiao Ang, and he said calmly: "Forget it, man, Ariana is right, you better return them or return them now, this is a bomb!"

Xiao Ang took the opportunity to leave, and he shouted: "Very good, you don't trust me! You don't treat me as a friend! Count me blind, Vake has!"

While scolding, he quickly walked out of the villa.

In this way, the atmosphere of the birthday party was ruined, and Li Du apologized to Ariana, and then told her that he had to do it, otherwise Ariana would accept this set of jewelry, and the trouble it would bring in the future would be related to her.

Porter took out his gift and gave it to Ariana, saying, "I have tickets for the Heat opener and the Christmas game here, and I remember you like the Heat, so how about we go to the game together then?"

Ariana graciously accepted the ticket and smiled and gave Potter a hug.

The young people applauded and screamed strangely, and began to heckle again, so that the atmosphere of the birthday party was much restored.

The rest of the matter had nothing to do with Li Du, he stayed out of the matter and waited for the party to end to talk about business.

But his identity was destined to prevent him from staying out of the matter, and after knowing that he was a shareholder of the Harry Winston Group, several girls here were immediately interested in him.

Li Du chatted with them and drank with them, but if he wanted to exchange contact information, he would politely and tactfully refuse.

Hans walked up behind him and said sourly, "Who should be quiet? Who the hell should not mess with girls at the party?"

Li Du didn't know exactly how the birthday party was held, but after Xiao Ang left, Potter felt much better, and his relationship with Ariana was much closer.

The party ended in the evening, when Potter sent the youths off and they got down to business.

Hans pulled out twenty-five valuable comics, five of the most valuable: ActionComics #1, the inaugural issue of Superman, Stan Lee's hand-drawn book on the Fantastic Four, Marvel Magazine, where Spider-Man first appeared in the public eye, and two special issues from DC and Marvel that featured early heroes.

The other 20 magazines also have their own value, either they are rare and rare books nowadays, or they have special significance in the history of comics.

Unable to price the books, Porter set a bargain for the next day, and Potter contacted an authoritative expert in the comics industry to help him out.

Li Du was not in a hurry, they lived directly in this villa, anyway, this villa belonged to the Potter family.

Porter had brought in an expert from New York, whom Li Du did not know, but had seen information about him not long ago.

This expert's name is Fissler, an editor-in-chief of "Comic Wire", and his company was the one who spent 1.2 million to shoot the first issue of Spider-Man magazine from Paris.

Fissler was an elegant, middle-aged man who whispered to Potter and kept making phone calls to price the comic books.

The two discussed for an hour and a half or so, and then handed a report to Li Du and Hans with their quotes for the magazines.

The most expensive hand-painted book of Fantastic Four was a staggering $3 million, and the other four higher-value magazines combined for four million, with an average of one million.

Among the other twenty magazines, there is a set of twelve magazines about the early days of Captain America, which are sold together for a million dollars, and the whole magazine is priced at $8.4 million!

Li Du had been prepared, but he was still shocked when he received the offer.

Hans and the two bargained, and the final price was nine million, and the two sides rounded up.

After signing the contract and closing the business, Li Du can say goodbye: "I can't imagine that these comics are so expensive!"

"It's like it seems to me that I can't imagine that the jewellery and gemstones are asking for such a high price, and these things depend on the market, and where there is a market, there is a price," Porter said. ”

Fissler adds: "Classic comics are on the same footing as paintings, jewellery and jewellery because they are all unique and can be a pleasure. ”

Li Du spread his hand and said that you can say whatever you want, anyway, you will pay.

Fischler later asked him, "Can you still get cartoons about the thirties and forties and fifties and sixties of the last century?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee it." ”

Fisler sighed regretfully and said, "The 30s and 50s of the last century was the golden age of comic book publishing in the United States, but unfortunately, almost all the comic books published at that time disappeared, they should be carefully collected, I really wish they could be collected." ”

Li Du promised him: "You can make a list for me, and if we can come across relevant comics in the future, we will definitely give you news." ”

Potter laughed, "You'll have to pass the news on to me first, my comic shop needs more treasures." ”
