Chapter 1057 1056. Market (55)

Brother Wolf blocked him, Li Du waved his hands and said, "Don't rush away, Mr. Xiao Ang, first explain the origin of this jewelry."

Xiao Ang pretended to be calm, and said: "There is nothing to explain, I doubt the authenticity of the guy opposite, you said he is Cole Winston, is he Cole Winston?"

Cole heard what he said and said with a smile: "I can show you my driver's license, but I guess you will question the authenticity of my driver's license after seeing it."

The young people who gathered around looked stunned. The development of the matter exceeded their expectations, and no one expected that it would turn out like this.

Li Du didn't hold on to this matter, he knew what the occasion was and who was the protagonist.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Xiao Ang: "Today is Ms. Ariana's birthday, I won't make a scene, but the jewelry you took out was either stolen from our Hai Rui-Winston Group, or it violated us. Our group reserves the right to pursue the patent rights and intellectual property rights.”

Xiao Ang was a little flustered, and said, "You can't scare me, the two pieces of jewelry I bought are fine."

Li Du smiled and said: "If you say there is no problem, then it is no problem. I hope that when our group lawyers and the police contact you in the future, you will insist on saying so."

He handed the jewelry to Xiao Ang, and Xiao Ang subconsciously wanted to hand it to Ariana.

Ariana already knew what was going on, why would she still accept this gift? Quickly shook his head with his hands behind his back: "No, no, no, Xiao Ang, I don't know where you got this jewelry, you'd better return it or return it..."

Xiao Ang looked at her angrily and said, "You don't believe me?"

Ariana didn't know what to say, so she could only look at others for help.

Hans pushed Potter, and Potter stepped forward to block Ariana.

He was not afraid of Xiao Ang, but he didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing before.

At this time, he was pushed out to face Xiao Ang, and he said calmly, "Forget it, buddy, Ariana is right, you'd better return them or send them back now, it's a bomb!"

Xiao Ang took the opportunity to leave, he shouted: "Very well, you don't trust me! You don't treat me as a friend! Count me as blind, Fake!"

While cursing, he quickly walked out of the villa.

In this way, the atmosphere of the birthday party was ruined. Li Du apologized to Ariana, and then told her that he had to do so, otherwise Ariana would accept this set of jewelry, and all the troubles caused in the future would be related to her.

Porter took out his gift, gave it to Ariana, and said, "I have tickets for the Heat's opening game and the Christmas game, I remember you like the Heat very much, so how about we watch the game together then? "

Ariana took the ticket generously, smiled and gave Potter a hug.

The young people applauded and made weird noises, and started booing again, which restored the atmosphere of the birthday party a lot.

The following matters had nothing to do with Li Du. He stayed out of it and waited for the party to end to discuss business.

But his status meant that he couldn't stay out of it. After knowing that he was a shareholder of the Harry Winston Group, several girls here were immediately interested in him.

Li Du chatted with them and drank with them, but if he wanted to exchange contact information, he would politely and tactfully refuse.

Hans strolled over from behind, and said sourly, "Who should be quiet? Who should stop messing with girls at the party?"

How the birthday party was held, Li Du didn't know the details, but after Xiao Ang left, Potter felt much better, and his relationship with Ariana was also much closer.

The party went on until the end of the evening, and Potter sent these youths away, and they began to talk about business.

Hans took out twenty-five valuable comics, among which five were the most valuable: the first issue of "Superman" "ActionComics#1", Stan Lee's hand-drawn book about "Fantastic Four", Spiderman's first issue The surprise magazine that appeared in the public eye, and two special issues jointly produced by DC and Marvel, introduced the early heroes.

The other 20 magazines are also valuable. They are either rare and rare copies, or have special significance in the history of comics.

Potter was unable to price these magazine books, and they set the negotiation time for the next day. Potter contacted an authoritative expert in the comics industry and asked him to help him as a consultant.

Li Du was not in a hurry, they lived directly in this villa, which belonged to the Potter family anyway.

Porter invited an expert from New York. Li Du didn't know him, but he had seen information about this expert not long ago.

The name of this expert is Fissler, and he is an editor-in-chief of the "Comic Connection" company. It was his company that spent 1.2 million to take away the first issue of Spider-Man magazine from Paris.

Fissler is a refined middle-aged man. He whispered to Potter, kept answering the phone, and priced these comic books.

The two discussed for about an hour and a half, and then handed over a report to Li Du and Hans, on which were their quotations on these magazines.

The highest price was the hand-drawn book of "Fantastic Four", which was quoted at an astonishing three million US dollars. The other four magazines with higher value were quoted at four million together, with an average price of one million.

Among the other 20 magazines, there is also a set of 12 magazines about the early days of "Captain America". They are sold together for one million US dollars, and the price of all the magazines is 8.4 million US dollars!

Li Du had been prepared for a long time, but he was still shocked when he received the offer.

Hans and the two bargained, and the final transaction price was 9 million, and the two parties rounded up a round number.

After signing the contract and closing the business, Li Du can speak freely: "I didn't expect these comics to be so expensive!"

Porter said: "As far as I am concerned, it is unexpected that those jewelry and gemstones are so expensive. These things depend on the market. If there is a market, there will be a price."

Fissler added: "Classic comics are on the same level as famous paintings, jewellery, jewellery, because they are all unique, and they all provide pleasure."

Li Du spread out his hands and said that you can say whatever you want, and you will pay anyway.

Fissler asked him later: "Can you still get comics about the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that."

Fissler sighed regretfully, and said: "The 1930s to the 1950s were the golden age of American comic book publishing. Unfortunately, almost all the comic books published at that time disappeared. They should be carefully collected. I really hope they can Favorite them."

Li Du promised him: "You can give me a list, and if we come across related cartoons in the future, I will definitely give you news."

Potter smiled and said, "You have to pass the news to me first, my comic shop needs more treasures."
