Mo Qiong's big pearl was worth hyping up. Selling it directly like this was the worst way to lose money.
As long as there was a good marketing strategy, the value of such a pearl could be doubled.
This was also why Xiao Kun said he could not afford it at the beginning. Later, when he saw Mo Qiong selling it directly, he decided to buy it.
It was a sure win, so why not buy it? Although there was a cost involved in marketing, Xiao Kun had done this many times and had a professional team to handle it.
It might take two or three years, but it would definitely be profitable in the end. Not only would it be profitable, but it would also be good for the brand's image.
Mo Qiong had to thank Zhang He for this.
Mo Qiong wanted to change it into money as soon as possible. Without money and power, Xiao Kun could easily lower the price and buy it according to the specifications of the first accessory. Mo Qiong might sell it for three million.
Even if Mo Qiong knew this was too little, he could not raise the price to six million. Not to mention, Zhang He forced Xiao Kun to raise the price to seven million.
With just a few words, Zhang He helped Mo Qiong earn four million.
This was the benefit of having a friend to speak for him.
Mo Qiong got seven million after the deal was done. He was elated.
Mo Qiong smiled at Zhang He and said, "Thanks. I'm good at swimming. You can call me if you need anything."
Zhang He smiled and said, "What's there to thank? Just treat me to a meal. I love to make friends on the sea. It's fate that we met on the sea."
Xiao Kun rolled his eyes and said, "After all this, I'm the one who lost out? Why are you thanking him? He just said a few words. I'm the one who paid for it. "
Mo Qiong smiled and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. I have to thank the investor."
Xiao Kun said, "Why do I feel like I'm a sucker?"
Zhang He said, "You're wronged? I might not make a profit if I buy it for seven million, but you'll definitely make a profit if you buy it. Will it kill your brother to make less than four million? "
"Just tell me, how much can you make? If this thing becomes a treasure, your family's auction house might be one of the best in Asia. "
Xiao Kun snorted and said, "Treasure? Do you think it's as easy as drinking soup? Without a real big shot to make a name for it, its value will only reach ten to twenty million. "
"Jewelry has to have a buyer for it to have a high value. Only cultural relics do not have to worry about buyers. Even if individuals do not take over, the country will. "
"You can't just rely on hype and added value. If you want to be one of the top brands in Asia, you have to have a real cultural attraction and attract those big collectors who are willing to take out their precious antiques for auction. Otherwise, it's just a small matter."
"Especially those good things that have a cultural background and the essence of ancient art. They don't need to be too hyped up. There are people who know the goods. They can easily be sold for tens of millions."
"If there was a real heirloom, it could be sold for more than 100 million. Unfortunately, we haven't seen one in a few years. Last spring, 38 items were auctioned, and only 200 million was sold. My family is going to die …"
However, Mo Qiong was stunned and asked, "How much?"
"More than two hundred million. Don't think that it's a lot. This is the total price of thirty-eight items," Lil 'Kun said.
Mo Qiong said, "No, I'm asking if a true heirloom can be sold for 100 million?"
"That's for sure. They all say that it's a treasure passed down from generation to generation. One hundred million is nothing," Lil 'Kun said.
"Shouldn't cultural relics not be sold? Heirlooms should be priceless, right? "Mo Qiong asked.
Lil 'Kun smiled and said, "Cultural relics are cultural relics. Antiques are antiques. These things are restricted from being circulated. Those that are auctioned are legal items that belong to private collections. Those that cannot be sold must have been dug up from the ground. Those are national cultural relics, unless they were dug up from overseas."
"If our cultural relics were found overseas, the museums in the country would definitely try to buy them back. If my family's auction house can bring such a cultural relic back to the country, our reputation will definitely soar. We'll be rich."
Then, he looked at Mo Qiong and said, "Why are you asking these questions? This pearl of yours doesn't count. You just fished it up from the sea. Who knew that when it landed in my hands, it was instantly discovered in international waters. "
"Haha." Mo Qiong smiled and thought about it.
Mo Qiong felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge after mingling with others.
After interacting with these people, he realized that although Zhang He and Lil 'Kun's families were not super rich, they had a wide network.
Lil 'Kun's family owned an auction house. At the same time, they were involved in many other intermediary businesses. Naturally, their network was very wide.
On the other hand, Zhang He's family was involved in investment. They managed more than ten foundations and held a large number of shares in listed companies in the industrial and service industries. Their network would only be wider.
These days, there was less and less pressure for the second generation of rich people to take over.
Even if the older generation retired in the future, they would not hand over the business to their children. Instead, they would hand it over to a professional team of managers to manage.
As long as they did not interfere with the company's business, they could take over smoothly. This allowed them to play around leisurely without being too greedy.
The Ryukyu Crown was truly a priceless treasure. The treasures that were with it were definitely precious cultural relics.
It would not be easy to sell it in the country. However, when Mo Qiong realized that it was overseas, he was determined to find it.
However, even if it was overseas, if it was not found in his own land, it would still belong to a foreign country.
If Mo Qiong wanted to sell it, it would be very troublesome.
However, with the great pearl as an example, Mo Qiong thought to himself that perhaps he could use Zhang He and Lil 'Kun's connections.
Mo Qiong was very clear that he did not have any connections. If he wanted to own the entire treasure, it would be very troublesome.
There were plenty of treasures. With his ability, what he lacked was connections.
If he could use the One Piece's treasure this time to completely establish connections with Zhang He and Lil 'Kun, it would be beneficial to him in many ways. If there were good things in the future, it would be easier for him to sell them.
Benefits and risks were shared. Once they gained benefits, they would naturally handle everything related to the treasure better than him. They would also be more proactive …
He did not seek fame or power. He only wanted to share the benefits.
In the long run, even if he only got a small share of the treasure this time, he would have profited greatly.
…
After mining so many pearls, the group did not stay for long. They immediately left and entered the international waters.
Along the way, they also encountered Phillip's ships. However, they were yachts. As long as they did not enter the territorial waters, they would not be checked.
After entering the international waters, as everyone was happier, they found a place to stop and lay on the deck together to bask in the sun.
Looking at the endless sea and sky and smelling the sea breeze, everyone was in a good mood.
"Little Mo, do you want to have a drink?" Zhang He came over with a bottle of red wine in his underwear.
Mo Qiong smiled and took a glass.
On the other side, a few girls were grilling fish. It was the Spanish mackerel that he had conveniently picked up when he was fishing for pearls.
After drinking two mouthfuls of wine, Mo Qiong said, "Tsk tsk … Drifting freely on the sea, enjoying the sea breeze, drinking wine, grilling fish, digging for pearls, these days are really comfortable."
"Hahaha! We're all used to it. However, we didn't expect to find pearls. You're really lucky, "Zhang He said.
Mo Qiong smiled and said, "It's not that I'm lucky. The storm last night blew the boat close to that area. We were looking for a shallower place to dive. In the end, I didn't swim far before I found a large sea of pearl shells. One of them was especially big. I smashed it open … Tsk tsk, seven million."
"That's true. This is the surprise of the sea!" Zhang He laughed.
"Don't say that. You're too lucky. I swam for half a day too. Why didn't I find it? You got seven million. We only got some pocket money, "Lil 'Kun said.
"Let's leave it to fate. That pearl is fated to be with me. When fate comes, I will naturally find it. Zhang He, you're looking for the sea monster too. Didn't Lil Pi find it by accident? "Mo Qiong said.
Zhang He said, "What if I'm not fated to be with the sea monster?"
"Uh … Don't force it. I don't know if you're fated to be with the sea monster, but I feel that I'm fated to be with you guys, "Mo Qiong said with a smile.
"That's right. You were drifting on the vast sea. You were sleeping and would have missed the call for help. In the end, we crashed into your boat. How fated is that!" Everyone laughed.
Mo Qiong took the opportunity to say, "Why don't we turn off the navigation system? We'll do whatever we want. At night, we'll turn off the engine and drift wherever we want. Every day, we'll catch fish, dive, and play for a few days. How about that?"
"That's a good idea! We haven't done that before. "Someone immediately agreed.
Zhang He also found it interesting. He deliberately got lost at sea and played for a few days.
It was fate that they bumped into Mo Qiong. It was fate that they found the pearl. This kind of aimless play, no one knew what would happen in the next moment. The excitement and surprise were the favorite feelings of those who loved to go out to sea.
"Alright! Let's do that. No matter where we go, we'll leave it to fate! "
"Let God decide for us where to play!"
