Chapter 275 The Witness

Ou Yiran continued to ask: "How is the road construction progress of Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang's research institute? Can it be completed on schedule?"

"Where are the two of them staring? The planned construction period is half a year. It's only been under construction for more than two months. It's hard to say right now." Yun Lei said.

"After the road is repaired, the manor is worth at least [-] million yuan. The difference in price alone is already more than the cost of repairing the road."

"Yeah, Sha Ya'er and Beidar are still hesitating. Accept the position of SUSTech. They are reluctant to live in a paradise like a paradise in the research institute. Go to the research institute, and they are reluctant to part with a pair of granddaughters and grandchildren. You should talk about this matter. How to choose?"

"It's not in a hurry. The road will be repaired for three months. There is plenty of time to think about it."

"The two scientists said that the valley has beautiful scenery and looks like a paradise. It is a good place to escape from the summer heat. After the road is completed, it will be the hottest season in the special zone. We will go there to escape the summer heat and see how beautiful it is. .”

"Hey, you've gone, what about a pair of twins? Is it possible that the mother-in-law will suffer alone?"

"Let's go together, let the grandchildren cool down too."

"Bad things can turn into good things with time. A trip to Wandao resulted in a Shuisheshan Manor. After destroying the black organization Pluto, one got a Xanadu. This luck is beyond words."

"It's probably God's will. Those two manors used to be bandits' nests, and that's the reward for their four brothers and sisters' deeds of eradicating evil and promoting good!"

"This also corresponds to the old saying that good people are rewarded with good rewards. The construction period of Rongda Medical's third-generation intelligent and aggressive artificial intelligence heart production line is one year. After three months, the road to the research institute will be repaired, and the grandchildren will be one year old. Yes. Sha Yaer and Bedal began to study the deepening design of bioelectric energy automatic charging. From the time point of view, it seems that it can just catch up with the needs of the production project."

"Everything is on track and there will be no delays."

"Okay, let's go to the museum to find out how to get to Hong Kong Island?"

The husband and wife locked the door of the investment department and took the elevator downstairs.

In the southern metropolis in summer, the heat wave is raging.

Walking on the sidewalk, pedestrians coming and going from south to north crowded shoulder to shoulder, sweating profusely, and hurried.

The air conditioner in the Wrong Coin Museum is full of horsepower, making the investors who come to appreciate and observe feel like a spring breeze.

Because Hong Kong Island is only separated by a bridge, Ou Yiran and Ya Liang decided to drive there instead of taking a flight.

In this way, Yun Lei can experience the live auction together.

After everything was settled, at three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the three of them drove across the Luohu Bridge to Hong Kong Island.

That night, we stayed in the famous Victoria Hotel, enjoying the night breeze on the outdoor viewing platform, drinking fine wine, and admiring the fantastic neon lights reflected on the river.

In view of the huge influence of the auction company in the industry, and their investment of a lot of publicity capital, the number of registered bidders has exceeded 20 people.

Limited to the confidentiality agreement, it is inconvenient to disclose their identities.But Ou Yiran and Ya Liang could still smell some clues from it.

Mr. Jin from Macau did not know through which channel he got an insider information, saying that among the more than [-] bidders, some of them were well-known collectors in the world.

In this regard, Ou is also not surprised at all.

The purpose of entrusting this company is to use the good relationship they have with major collectors all over the world to carry out targeted publicity.So as to achieve what you want.

The official start of the auction is at [-] o'clock in the morning of the next day. The collections arranged for this auction are all wrong coins from all over the world.

Mr. Jin from Macau also had the wrong coin in the auction.

Mr. Jin drove here early in the morning.

Ou Yiran went in early and reserved a seat for him.

At this moment, the four of them were sitting together, waiting for this company's first mis-coin session so far.

Each brochure contains a detailed introduction and description of the auction.And the starting price.

These days, Mr. Jin has been aware of all kinds of misprinted coins in the brochure.

And Ou Yiran didn't intend to participate in the bidding, and secondly, he was really busy these days and didn't have time to browse the album.

On the contrary, he was generous and had enough time to read the wrong coins in the brochure several times.

At nine o'clock, the auction started. The first thing to be auctioned was a one-dollar double eagle coin. After several rounds of competition, it was bought by a foreign buyer at a price of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The second auction was a £66 miss-print coin, very good condition, PMG certified box, with a score of [-] points.

Wrong coins are different from other collections. This industry has a special appraisal agency and has far-reaching influence.Entering the collections of the packaging boxes of PMG and PCGM is equivalent to full protection, so the recognition in the industry is very high.

And such collections are often in high demand.

The same is true of domestic auction companies in recent years. As long as the wrong coin is put into the box and the starting price is not too outrageous, there are many people who raise their placards.

For example, the opening price of this 55-pound unprinted coin was HK$[-]. At this moment, there were more than [-] people holding placards.

From the perspective of skin color, there are all kinds of people of yellow, white, brown and black.

Missing printing, folded white, Fuer, and offset are more common in the market, and everyone knows the process of making mistakes.

Therefore, the starting price of HK$600,000 is quite normal.

The larger the missing printing area, the better the appearance and the greater the value.

Two years ago, a well-known domestic auction company took a piece of the 4000th version of the one-yuan coin with the overall missing printing on the back. The opening price was [-] yuan, and it was finally sold for [-] yuan.

The one-yuan wrong coin has been hung on a well-known art website so far.

It was the first time for Ou Yiran to see the spectacular scene of more than [-] people raising placards together.

Not to mention generosity.

After the price of the fifty-pound unprinted coin pushed up to one million, more than half of the people had withdrawn from the bidding.

Ou Yiran asked with a smile, "Mr. Jin, at what price do you think this coin will be sold in the end?"

"Referring to the previous auction results of a similar collection in London, it probably won't exceed 800,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"Ya Liang, what range do you think this wrong coin will be traded in?" Ou Yiran asked instead.

"It won't exceed 2 million Hong Kong dollars." Ya Liang said.

Mr. Jin said with a smile: "Mr. Ou, why don't you also estimate the price?"

"I guess it will be about 3 million Hong Kong dollars?"

"Oh, why is there such a high valuation?" Mr. Jin and Ya Liang couldn't help being surprised.

Ou Yiran showed them the unprinted coin that was sold in London a few years ago after conversion for 65 million Hong Kong dollars: "This unprinted coin reappeared here after three years, and there is not enough room for a premium. How could collectors make a move?"

Mr. Jin and Ya Liang looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "That's a good reason. Judging from today's popularity, it seems possible."

While the three of them were joking, the wrong coin had broken through the transaction price three years ago.

At this moment, there are only seven bidders left.

Yun Lei smiled and said, "Among these seven people, is there any scalper?"

Mr. Jin laughed and said, "I think at least three of them are scalpers."

"Why do you know that!" Yun Lei asked, looking at him intently.

"This kind of situation is not uncommon at the auction site. Some people are greedy for profit. In order to push up the price of the collection, they will hire scalpers to enter the venue to match the bidding price."

"But what if someone finds out?"

"The scalpers are familiar with each other. Once they find that no one is following up, they will stop bidding immediately."

"Then what if they call to the last bite?"

"In that case, the collector can only pay the handling fee and employment fee to bring back the collection."

"It turns out that there are still risks in hiring scalpers."

"Look, the skill of speaking has increased by 2 million." Ou Yiran laughed.

"There are still five bidders. If three of them are scalpers, then two are real collectors."

"This gentleman bid two hundred and one hundred and fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars." The auctioneer exclaimed excitedly, "Is there a higher bidder?"

"Two hundred and three hundred thousand yuan." A woman held up a sign.

"Okay, two hundred and three hundred thousand yuan, is there a higher bidder?" The auctioneer asked passionately.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan." At this time, a sudden force suddenly appeared, and a man who had never participated in the bidding suddenly raised his placard to bid.

Mr. Jin said in a low voice: "This must be a relay scalper. Its purpose is to increase popularity and attract attention."

Sure enough, after the man called the price, two people immediately withdrew from the competition.

"Two million and sixty-five million yuan." The lady held up the sign.

"Very good, it's 65 million yuan. Are there any collectors who have increased the price?" The auctioneer looked around, looking at the previous bidders.

The man who joined later called out, "Two hundred and eight hundred thousand yuan."

"I offer two hundred and nine hundred, nine hundred,900,000 Hong Kong dollars." The lady shouted.

"Very good, 900,000 yuan, 900,000 yuan, is there any price increase?"

"I offer 3 million Hong Kong dollars." The man shouted.

"See, as soon as the new man came out, four of them stopped raising their cards. Obviously, those four were scalpers. It seems that the lady is a real buyer. It depends on whether she raises her cards this time. Card?" Mr. Jin said in a low voice.

"Three hundred and one 100,000 yuan." The lady's sign was raised up.

"Dear collectors, the price of this 50 yuan missed print coin has reached 100,000 yuan Hong Kong dollars at the moment. Is there any price increase?" the auctioneer asked passionately.

Then what he answered was a moment of loneliness.

If the latecomer does not raise his card, the wrong coin belongs to that lady.

"Three hundred and one hundred and 100,000 yuan Hong Kong dollars, are there any Tibetan friends who increase the price?" the auctioneer asked again.

"[-] million Hong Kong dollars, one last time, is there any price increase?" The auctioneer raised the wooden hammer and knocked it down with a clang, "Deal."

"Hey, the scalpers really contributed a lot. If there are another 200,000, it will be doubled." Ou Yiran laughed softly.

Mr. Jin gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "What Mr. Ou said is right, it really is Huiyan."

"I also said it casually. Unexpectedly, this is the case."

He smiled generously and said, "That's good too. An ordinary missing-print coin can fetch more than three million Hong Kong dollars, which shows that the enthusiasm of the market is indeed very high."

"Look, my collection is here." Mr. Jin said happily.

Ou Yiran turned to the corresponding album, and the description of Mr. Jin's collection is as follows:

The Macau double-wrong banknote is the only commemorative banknote with a printing error, so its popularity is very high.

Experts in the industry call it the "Macau Double Wrong Banknote King"

In order to celebrate the return of Macao, in 2001, Bank of China and Bank of Atlantic jointly issued the "Macau Double Error" commemorative banknote. The bank issues 10 Macau 10 banknotes with serial numbers, and the last three numbers of the banknotes issued by two different banks correspond to the same.For the first time, rare banknotes with the same number, consecutive numbers, wrong edition and out-of-print banknotes are collected together in one volume, which is rare in a hundred years!

Misprint one
In the full-page 10-yuan note issued by the Bank of China, there was a serious error in the standard font of the bank name on the pattern of the Bank of China Building, and the traditional Chinese character "银" was written as the simplified Chinese character "银".

Misprint [-]

On the full-page 10-yuan banknote issued by the Bank of Atlantic, the character "Yuan" in traditional Chinese characters is missing a horizontal line; the character "Yuan" on the banknote is not a closed "贝", but an open "贝" with the last horizontal line missing.

As the words on banknotes, its seriousness is self-evident.Such an obvious typo is rare in the history of world money printing.
