Chapter 329 328. We Guarantee (1)

It was because of the existence of three-color gemstones and black enamel that Li Du had the idea of ​​exploring the true identity of the small box.

He read it in a book introducing jewelry culture. Although this saying comes from China, for the whole of Asia, especially East Asia, the legend of the emerald bird is always associated with emerald jewelry.

Seeing those exquisite red, blue and green gemstones on the small box, Li Du thought, if this box is really a cheap one made of artificial gemstones, then there is no need to inlay gemstones on it for decoration.

After all, this is the United States. American jadeite products have nothing to do with the rumors of the emerald bird. Even if gems are used for decoration, they will not just choose red, blue and green gemstones.

If the jadeite locket came from East Asia or even China, then these regions should not bother to make such exquisite fakes and sell them to the United States.

Moreover, the number of gemstones on the box is exactly nine, which fits the supreme description of the emerald bird. A series of coincidences together cannot be called a coincidence.

Just thinking about it like this, he found out the doubts, and finally found out the real identity of Xiao He.

The applause from the audience surged up like a tide, and Li Du became interested and explained: "The poem I just wrote is a Chinese Tang poem. Are you interested in knowing its interpretation?"

The crowd shouted, "Translate it, child, translate it."

Li Du said: "There is a bird called Emerald, which builds its nest on the coast of the South China Sea. Both male and female live in the jungle. The traces left by the flight can be made into beautiful jewelry, and its feathers are even more dazzling and colorful! "

Sophie looked at him with admiration, clapped along with the believers, and asked at the same time, "Is everything you said true?"

Li Du nodded confidently and said, "Yes, it's true."

Sitting below, Ma Latai was dumbfounded. Looking at the confident and free-spirited Li Du on the stage, he felt both disbelief and envy.

This is his home court, but why is such a loud applause given to his opponent?

Steady his mind, he said loudly: "You said this yourself, who knows if it's true or not? It's very nice to say, but words can't make a fake into a real one!"

Marathai's voice sounded, and many people nodded along, and they also had this doubt in their hearts.

Li Du opened the box, took out the remaining lipstick inside, revealed the two lines of letters at the bottom of the box, and showed it to everyone.

"There are two languages ​​here, one is Burmese, which may not be understood by everyone, but the next one is English, everyone should be able to understand this name, right?"

"Angkor Danway?" said Russell Douche in the front row.

Li Du nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, everyone can search for this person on the Internet. He is a master of Burmese jadeite and jade products."

Ma Latai wanted to speak, but Li Du didn't give him a chance, and continued: "Of course, everyone can doubt whether someone forged Mr. Angkor Danwei's name on it?"

"This guess is reasonable, but everyone should know that Mr. Angkor Danwei is not well-known in the United States. Who would make a fake and have to work hard to engrave his name? And it also uses English and Burmese languages."

"Furthermore, I can promise you that this box is made of emerald, and the gemstones on it are all real, and it is also from the hands of a master. It is a well-deserved limited edition jewelry!"

Everyone nodded, and Malathai seized the gap and shouted: "What is your promise?"

Du Qi stood up and said, "I can vouch for Li, he is not a liar. This young man is the only young man I have seen in recent years. His promise is very important!"

Li Du smiled and said: "Thank you, Russell, someone who doesn't believe it can take the box for identification, identification of material and signature handwriting, and the result will finally prove that what I said is true."

Martin also stood up and said, "That child is a good friend of my daughter's, a very good friend, and I can also vouch for him."

Tai Ke and the others stood up one after another and said, "Although this young man Li is not very familiar with us, he once risked offending the Comanche and helped us, and he did so well. We can also vouch for him."

Auctioneer Lewis added fire at the end: "Du-Li, a super treasure picker from mysterious China, he is the strongest rookie in Flagstaff City and even the Arizona Warehouse Auction Association. In our industry, his name is the golden word Shop sign!"

Now that no one was unconvinced, Maratha wanted to speak, but he found he had nothing to say.

The pastor came out and said, "Everyone be quiet, now, let's continue our auction. Mr. Li, do you want to auction this jewelry box?"

Li Du said: "It's not me, it's actually Miss Sophie Martin. Miss Martin didn't introduce the box clearly. I'm here to introduce this box to her."

As he spoke, he winked at Sophie and said, "Can you let the auction continue? But we have to change the starting price. I think 10,000 yuan is appropriate."

Sophie's eyes were full of water, and she said, "What you say, Li."

Li Du held up the box and said, "The high-quality emerald lipstick box is inlaid with three pure rubies, three sapphires and three turquoises. It is a masterpiece of Burmese jewelry masters. The starting price of 10,000 yuan is absolutely reasonable. Who would accept it? "

There were many wealthy people present, and Marathai was right about one thing. The charity auction is not just about donating money. The result everyone wants is a win-win situation.

Ten thousand yuan to buy an emerald jewelry box inlaid with gemstones is the price of cabbage. Du Qi and others can see the exquisiteness of the box, and they know what such handwork means.

A middle-aged white man with a beautiful female companion raised his hand and said, "10,000 yuan, I accept."

Li Du pointed to him and said, "Okay, if this gentleman offers 10,000 yuan, who is willing to pay a higher price, such as 11,000 yuan?"

Du Qi happily raised his hand and said, "Eleven thousand yuan."

Li Du said with a smile: "Mr. Du Qi offered 11,000 yuan. I guess he wants to use it as a stamp collection box. Although this is a bit extravagant, I know he has many more precious stamps, so this is very suitable..."

"Twelve thousand yuan." Another offer was made.

"Not as good as 13,000 yuan?"

"I am willing to come out!"

"15,000 yuan. My daughter Barbara likes East Asian jewelry. I happen to be short of a graduation gift."

"Sixteen thousand..."

The price slowly climbed up by 1,000 yuan, and Li Du became the auctioneer. After seeing a lot, he looked decent and kept in control of the situation on the spot.

In the end, a white man in his fifties or sixties offered a price of 20,000 yuan, and Du Qi and others shook their heads and withdrew from the bidding.

Li Du pointed to him and said, "This rich and benevolent gentleman is about to donate 20,000 yuan to the church, then 20,000 yuan for the first time, 20,000 yuan for the second time..."

He looked at the audience with piercing eyes, and said, "The third time for 20,000 yuan! I declare that this jade jewelry box belongs to this kind gentleman!"

After the voice fell, everyone stood up and applauded!
