international treasure hunter

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Porcelain Auction
After leaving the Tiffany jewelry store, Lin Feng rushed to an auction company.

Yes, it is the Bonhams auction house in XN.

Bonhams is a privately owned British auction house and one of the oldest and largest antiques and art auction houses in the world.

The name of Bonhams is well-known in the global fine art and antique market, as well as in the collection field, and it is even a world leader in some art fields.

Moreover, after Lin Feng inquired about the information of this auction house, he felt relieved.

As long as the cultural relics and works of art are not stolen, the auction house hardly asks where they came from.

This is really beneficial to Lin Feng.

Of course, the Chinese cultural relics he retrieved from the Australian Museum will definitely not be put up for auction.

Like other well-known auction companies in the world, they are one of the shareholders of the Lost Art Registration Company based in London, and so is Bonhams.

This is a privately run archive that assists law enforcement in recovering stolen art and cultural relics.

Lin Feng went to Bonhams to auction off those porcelains, all of which were salvaged from the bottom of the sea, so there was no problem at all.

Lin Feng looked carefully at the only remaining piece of jade, and estimated that it is not worth much. Although it is as big as a basketball, quality determines everything.

Therefore, there is no need for an auction. Wait for someone from Tiffany's head office to sell it by the way.

At XN Bonhams Auction Company, everything went smoothly. After Bonhams expert appraisal, it has been confirmed that the porcelain is from the late sixteenth century. Among the appraisal experts, two are Chinese experts.

Of course, Lin Feng had more than 100 pieces of these bottles and cans. It was impossible to take out all of them. He just took a few pieces. After confirming, he promised to send all of them to Bonhams Auction Company the next day.

After leaving, Lin Feng went to work. First of all, there were some wooden boxes to pack the porcelain, and the cushions in the boxes, so as not to be broken when someone transported them.

There are fifteen large wooden boxes, and it’s no problem to pack more than a dozen pieces in one box. I rented a van and put it in the truck. I asked the driver to drive directly to the hotel parking lot. I told the driver to come here tomorrow morning, and he returned. Room.

Things went well today, and Lin Feng was also in a good mood. Seeing Stephanie surfing the Internet, he went over to check, and it turned out that he was looking for breeding information.

It seems that this woman is very interested in breeding!
"Honey, what do you want for dinner tonight?"

Hugging Stephanie from behind, her hands were not very honest.

"How about the candlelight dinner?" Stephanie asked, letting Lin Feng feel shameless.

"OK, that's it, you choose the place."

Hearing that Lin Feng was confirmed, Stephanie also stood up, she could feel that Lin Feng was in a good mood today, and she was immediately happy.

Holding Lin Feng in his arms is just a mess...

The next morning, Lin Feng got up and left. It was a matter of his mind to settle the matter early.

After being tender with Stephanie last night, he put the pieces of porcelain into those wooden boxes. The driver came early and drove away without saying anything.

When we arrived at Bonhams, it happened to be the time for the auction company to go to work.

The truck was unloaded smoothly, Bonhams is indeed a professional auction company, and the staff are very careful and meticulous.

The subsequent appraisal and valuation was a cumbersome process, and I was busy until after two o'clock in the afternoon.

The valuation is just to discuss the starting price with Lin Feng. As for the final price, it is unknown.

Lawrence, general manager of XN Company of Bonhams, attaches great importance to Lin Feng. He already knows from Lin Feng's mouth that he is a treasure hunter, and this batch of intact porcelain can also be seen to be salvaged from the seabed.

Lawrence felt it was necessary to make good relations with the treasure hunters.

And Lin Feng had a very good impression of this international auction company, professional and formal, no wonder it was able to do so on such a large scale.

While Lin Feng was chatting with Lawrence and trying to get close to each other, his phone rang, and he gave Lawrence an apologetic smile, and Lin Feng went out to answer the phone.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar number on the phone, Lin Feng was also very strange.

"Hello!"

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin?" A strange man's voice came from the phone, with a loud voice and a strange accent.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Yes, who are you?"

"Lev, I'm Lev, Mr. Lin, I'm from Melbourne, Wiens gave me your phone number, I want to thank you, I must thank you, you are a real hero, you saved my son... ..."

Got it!
Lin Feng understood what was going on.

Another thank you, and, judging from the roughness and name of this person, it is estimated that he is from a fighting nation.

"Mr. Lin, I know it's very presumptuous, but you must let me thank you, tell me where you are in XN now, I have something good for you, that is my favorite baby, believe that Mr. Lin, a hero like you, can also Will definitely like it..."

Lin Feng kept the phone away from his ears, this guy was too loud.

Is it necessary to howl like this?

I am not deaf.

But Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard something good. Wiens sent a cruise ship. What will this guy give?
Then check it out!
Of course, I don't necessarily want it.

Lin Feng thought deceitfully.

In the end, Lin Feng told Lev the address of the hotel, and just as he was done with his work here, he took some documents and agreements, and Lin Feng said goodbye to Lawrence.

The auction still needs to be planned and publicized in the early stage, and it won't start soon, but these are all the affairs of the auction company, and he can just wait to get the money.

After leaving Bonhams, Lin Feng took a taxi back to the hotel, and in the taxi, sent the auction agreement documents to the treasure room on the island.

When we got back to the hotel, we went straight upstairs. That Lev probably won't be there until half past one.

As it turned out, it was dark and Lev didn't come until he had dinner with Stephanie.

In the evening, Brother Jun called and said that the survey of the design company had ended, the people had already left, and a group of carpenters had arrived, trying to find a way to get the tools on the island. There were a lot of machines, and it was a headache to get them ashore.

"Okay, you can find old Mike later, forget it, I'll call, you guys, it seems that you have to learn English in the future..."

Lin Feng thought that Old Mike couldn't understand these people's words, and Wang Dong's half-baked English, so forget it.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng called Old Mike. As for Brother Jun, who heard that he wanted to learn English, he was already stunned on the other end of the phone, but he didn't know.

"Uncle Mike, you go to Thursday Island, rent a shallow boat crane, and get the woodworking machinery on the island first. Also, check whether it is an engine machine or an electric machine. If it is an electric machine, you can buy one while the boat is hoisting over. dynamo……"

After all the jittery arrangements, Lin Feng felt a headache when he finished his work. It seems that he still needs a talent!

Let's talk about this later!
Hire a manager when you meet the right one. During the construction of the island, there are many things, big and small. Now it is just the beginning, and there will be more things in the future. Brother Jun and the others can fight.

Especially the language barrier is the biggest shortcoming.
