I was the queen of the sea in the 80s

The appraiser left after speaking. Jiang Zhenzhen watched the door close again and asked He Yingrui in confusion: "What's going on?" Is there something wrong with the necklace?
He Yingrui said: "It should be to find other people to do the valuation together."

But Jiang Zhenzhen still didn't feel relieved.

After about 10 minutes, the young appraiser came back. The appraiser showed an apologetic expression and said, "I'm sorry for wasting your time."

He sat back down to his previous position and continued, "Ms. Jiang, your pearl necklace is indeed a natural pearl necklace. There is no problem with it."

Jiang Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.

The appraiser continued: "We are going to put a reserve price of 500 million for this necklace of yours. Do you think it's OK?"

Marking a low price for an item is a skill. You cannot mark it too low. If someone really sells it at the lowest price, you must at least ensure that the item will not lose too much.Of course, the bid cannot be too high, otherwise the room for price increase will be lost and the bidders will not be able to have a competitive mentality.There may even be a chance of failure.

If Jiang Zhenzhen's necklace was just a simple necklace, it might only have a base price of 200 million.However, the pear-shaped pearl paired with the necklace is so beautiful!The appraiser is very sure that this pearl must be one of the most symmetrical and largest pear-shaped pearls in the world. The rarer it is, the more valuable it is.

In addition, this pearl necklace was designed by the famous designer He Yingrui, so the appraiser discussed with several colleagues and felt that it was appropriate to price this pearl necklace at 500 million.

Jiang Zhenzhen's heart trembled suddenly. This was 500 million. She had never seen so much money in her previous life, let alone this life.

The appraiser was still waiting for Jiang Zhenzhen's answer. Jiang Zhenzhen suppressed her excitement as quickly as possible. She glanced at He Yingrui first, received a slight nod from He Yingrui, and then said in a calm tone: "Okay."

The appraiser immediately showed a bright smile. He was very happy that Jiang Zhenzhen was so cheerful.

Later, the appraiser said: "Our auction house's charging standard is based on the actual price of the item. Different prices have different charging ratios. If this pearl necklace like yours does not pass the auction, we will charge 12.00 % commission.”

The auction house Jiang Zhenzhen found is a very well-known international auction house, and the fees are naturally a little more than ordinary auction houses, but Jiang Zhenzhen feels that reliability is the most important.Moreover, Xingang was so chaotic at this time. If it were placed in some small local auction houses, her necklace would be lost and there would be no way to deal with it.

Therefore, Jiang Zhenzhen happily agreed to the 12.00% commission ratio and asked, "Should we sign a contract?"

Appraiser: "Yes, you need to sign a contract." Then he took out a stack of printed contracts, gave one to Jiang Zhenzhen, and said, "The contract is in two copies. Take a look at it first to see if there is anything you are not satisfied with." .”

Jiang Zhenzhen took a look at the contract and immediately felt dizzy.Originally, it was very difficult for her with a junior high school education to read the contract. The contract was written in traditional Chinese, which was really embarrassing.

After the appraiser noticed Jiang Zhenzhen's frown, he quickly asked: "What's wrong? Do you think something is inappropriate?"

Jiang Zhenzhen showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "No, let me take a look first."

Then she took a deep breath and tried hard to read the words on the contract.Fortunately, simplified Chinese characters are related to traditional Chinese characters. If you identify them carefully, you can also recognize some characters. Combined with the context, you can roughly understand 80.00% of them.Of course, Jiang Zhenzhen must understand the most important part of the money and the draw ratio. After all, Xingang also uses Arabic numerals, and Jiang Zhenzhen has learned traditional Chinese characters for numbers. After all, you need some traditional Chinese characters when saving money. of.

Because there were many items on the contract, and Jiang Zhenzhen read it carefully, it took about 10 minutes to read one contract.After reading it, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but she was worried, so she gave it to He Yingrui and asked him to read it again.

He Yingrui knew that the auction house gave all customers the same contract, so there was basically no problem. After all, it was impossible to write a contract for every customer, and it was printed out and used together.In fact, he had seen an identical contract before.

But Jiang Zhenzhen was introduced to him by Uncle Sansheng, so He Yingrui had no intention of dealing with Jiang Zhenzhen and confirmed the contract again.

After reading it, he handed the contract back to Jiang Zhenzhen, shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with the contract."

Jiang Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief again and smiled: "I don't see any problems either."

The appraiser couldn't wait to say: "Since there is no problem, let's sign the contract!"

Jiang Zhenzhen picked up the pen. She knew that the word was worth 500 million, so she was very solemn when signing the contract.

However, when she was putting pen to paper, she suddenly remembered that she should sign in simplified Chinese.Oh my God, how should I write the three characters "Jiang Zhenzhen" in traditional Chinese?

Jiang Zhenzhen was so panicked that her hands were shaking a little.She thought, could it be signed in simplified Chinese?Will it be possible to tell that she is from the mainland?
If it turns out that she is from the mainland...

Jiang Zhenzhen was suddenly stunned. It seemed like it didn't matter, right?Aren’t there many mainlanders smuggled into Xingang now?So what about mainlanders? This auction house has to do business with mainlanders, right?

And she is a mainlander who can produce a pearl necklace. Doesn’t that mean she has strong financial resources and a discerning eye that is not easy to deceive? !
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhenzhen suddenly felt relieved.Then he solemnly wrote the words "Jiang Zhenzhen" on the contract.

However, what Jiang Zhenzhen doesn't know is that there is actually not much difference between the simplified and traditional Chinese characters for "Jiang Zhenzhen", especially when written by hand, no difference can be seen at all.When she applied for the Xingang ID card, if she had looked at the name on it twice more, she might not have gone through this inner twists and turns.

It can be said that worrying is in vain.

Two contracts, one kept by the auction house and one kept by Jiang Zhenzhen.Jiang Zhenzhen carefully put the contract into her bag, and then transferred it directly to the space without wasting a second, for fear of losing the contract.

The appraiser was not so careful. He casually put the contract in his hand and said: "Ms. Jiang, we will arrange the auction of the pearl necklace in one month. After the auction, after deducting the commission and taxes, we will directly Transfer money to your account.”

Jiang Zhenzhen asked: "Why a month later? Also, can't I participate in the auction?" If I don't participate, how will I know how much the necklace finally sold for?What if the auction price is 800 million and the auction house says there is only 500 million?Then her money was stolen.
