Chapter 209: Ruby

At the end of the appraisal, Muyang was arranged in another VIP room, the appraiser had left, and only a beautiful girl was in charge of hospitality in the VIP room, the girl looked at Muyang's eyes and was a little obsessed, of course, it was not obsessed with Muyang's handsomeness, but she just saw the ruby in Muyang's hand.

Although it was just a glimpse, the ruby was put away by Muyang, but it did not affect the girl's creature fanaticism for shiny gems, every girl has dragon genes in her blood, and she likes shiny things.

I don't know how Sotheby's will arrange, but Muyang is not in a hurry, there will always be results, although he can't identify gemstones, but he can look at people, as long as he looks at the appearance of the two appraisers, he knows that the thing he brought must be a good thing, and it is a good thing that makes these appraisers who are used to seeing treasures excited.

The door to the VIP room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in.

"Hello Mr. Mu, I am a shareholder of Sotheby's and one of the heads of Sotheby's Hong Kong Auction Company, my name is Sylvester." The middle-aged man greeted Muyang very politely.

Muyang stood up and shook hands with the other party.

"You don't need your service here, you go out first." Sylvester sent the waitress straight away.

Mu Yang's eyes flashed, and it seemed that the other party had different intentions.

"Mr. Mu, have you been in a hurry to use money lately, why are you auctioning such a precious ruby?" Sylvester asked.

Mu Yang slandered in his heart, this is by no means what the person in charge of an auction company should say.

Muyang didn't say anything, but raised his hand to let the other party continue.

Sylvester's embarrassed look flashed across his face, and he continued, "I'll introduce the auction house first. Every year, our auction house holds two major auctions, namely the Spring Auction and the Autumn Auction. The closest thing to this is the spring auction, but it will have to wait until around the beginning of May. ”

"The company's auction commission. It's about 5% to 12%, depending on the type of item being auctioned, and if you want to auction rubies, we charge about 10% commission. ”

"And you also have to pay personal income tax, which is about more than 20% of your income, so if it's 10 million, you get it last. Only less than 7 million yuan. ”

"Mr. Sylvester, I think you'd better explain your intentions directly, and let's not go around in circles." Mu Yang simply interrupted Sylvester's chatter.

"Mr. Muyang is very happy, well, I have an idea, I like your ruby very much and want a private collection."

"How much," Muyang only cared about the price.

"$5 million."

"Impossible, the price is too low. I think I'll auction it. Muyang simply refused.

"I really like this gem, but the appraiser's valuation for him is this price, 5 million is a lot, which is a lot of money. I think that's enough for you to do, and besides, there's no proof of your ruby origin. Sylvester said.

This is a tactful threat. But Muyang doesn't eat this set.

"This diamond of mine is not a modern product, it is an antique. It's my family's collection, and the gems are certified. It only started in 1996, so did my ancestors also go to the organization that didn't exist and issue some ridiculous proof? Sylvester, I still know a little bit about this, and I know that antique gems don't need to be certified. Muyang fought back directly.

"Well, what's your psychological price?" Sylvester asked.

"18 million." The Muyang lion opened his mouth.

"Oh my God, you really dare to make an offer." Sylvester said with a shrug.

"I remember just last year, it was you at Sotheby's that you auctioned a 24.54-carat ruby, and the final price was $28.6 million." Muyang said.

"How can it be compared, you know, the heavier the gemstone, the higher the price, and the difference is very big, your ruby is only 19.38 carats." Sylvester said.

"Isn't it big enough?"

"I admit that he is indeed not small, but it is definitely not worth 18 million US dollars, you know, we valued the 24.54 carat ruby at the beginning, it was only between 15 million and 17 million, and as for the final sale for 28.6 million US dollars, it can only be said that someone likes the ruby too much, but it does not mean that the ruby is really worth that much." Sylvester explained.

"And if you sell it to us, you can save a lot of costs, and if you open an account in Hong Kong, you can also save a personal income tax, which is very cost-effective for you, isn't it." Sylvester Road.

"But if the price gap is too big, I will still choose the auction." Mu Yang shook his head, he couldn't let the other party be a fool.

However, Muyang still has the heart to sell, after all, waiting for the auction to be held, there are at least two months left, and Muyang still hopes that the money can be obtained sooner.

In fact, Muyang knows that even the things that auction companies value must be valuable, and auction companies often use this method to take advantage of the eagerness of some auctioneers to use money, and buy the items in the hands of auctioneers, and then auction them out at a high price to make a profit.

You can't say whether it's good or not, if you're in a hurry to use the money, it's understandable, if you're not in a hurry, you can only say that your lot may receive more value if you're in a hurry.

The two had an in-depth and detailed conversation in the VIP room, and finally Muyang sold the ruby to Sylvester for $11.5 million.

As for the price, Muyang is quite satisfied, the valuation of this ruby is about 8.5 million to 11 million US dollars, if it is sent to auction, it can probably be sold for 20 million is a big mark, if it is calculated in this way, Muyang saves the auction commission and taxes, and it is about this price.

The deal was reached quickly, and in the afternoon of the same day, Muyang opened a new account in Standard Chartered Bank, and the money was transferred, and Muyang had money again this time, and it was in US dollars.

As for the secrecy of funds, Mu Yang feels that no bank in this world provides anonymous storage, including Swiss banks, so as long as he wants to use money, it will be the same everywhere, if someone wants to check himself in the future, even if it is stored in the cellar, it can be dug out.

In novels or TV, banks that don't store people as long as they have passwords don't actually exist, they only exist in novels or TV.

Transfer a sum of money to your domestic bank card first.

Then, it is to spend money, make large purchases, and buy medicines, this time Muyang directly placed an order and purchased about 1.5 million medicinal powders, which is enough for the whole of Spain.

Of course, it will continue in the future, after all, the whole world is waiting for his medicine, and he is now a savior-like existence.

How can it feel refreshed? (To be continued......)
