"Hello, is this Mr. Patton?"

"I am, who are you?"

A slightly old voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Patton, I have a batch of jewelry that needs to be appraised and valued, so Nim introduced you to me."

The old man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said, "Did Nim tell you about me?"

"said."

"You don't doubt me? Or that Nim is lying to you?"

"I'm Nim's financial backer. I believe he won't fool me for you, so I trust Nim more than you, whom I've never met."

"Are you hiring temporarily or permanently?"

"Long-term employment. Besides, I'm not just hiring you; I'm also forming an appraisal team, so I hope you can help me with the appraisal."

"I'm asking for an annual salary of $300,000, and I want that salary paid in advance."

"Okay, come to my place now and we can discuss cooperation. The jewelry I need appraised is also at home."

"No problem, just give me the address."

An hour later, an old man in his sixties stood at Li Yue's door.

The old man was dressed quite fashionably, like one of those handsome old men on TV, and he was carrying a suitcase in his hand.

It seems that all jewelry appraisers carry such a box and never let it go.

"Are you Mr. Patton?" asked Big Bear.

"I am, are you?"

"I'm the boss's bodyguard, please come in."

After Xiong Da led Patton to the living room, Li Yue immediately stood up and extended his hand, saying, "Mr. Patton, I'm John Lee."

"Hello, Mr. John."

"This is the contract I prepared for you, take a look." Li Yue pushed a freshly printed contract in front of Patton.

Patton carefully checked the contract and was a little surprised that Li Yue gave him a salary of $40 plus 0.15% of all jewelry sold.

And Li Yue does not require him to work for a long time.

Patton couldn't be dissatisfied with this employment contract.

Even though his salary used to be $600,000 a year.

But after that incident, his reputation in the industry was ruined, and now he is very satisfied with his annual salary of $400,000.

As for the 0.15% commission, he doesn't care.

After signing the employment contract, Patton took the initiative to say, "Boss, can you let me see the jewelry you want to appraise?"

"Of course." Li Yue took Patton to the underground exhibition hall.

The moment Patton saw it, his scalp almost exploded.

The exhibition hall in front of us has an area of ​​50 square meters. If it were placed in an ordinary street store, it would only be considered a small shop.

But if the store is filled with priceless jewelry, that’s a different story.

Anyone who comes in here will be involuntarily attracted by the shining stars.

Li Yue handed Patton the purchase order of Duke Dyna and Mossen.

"Prioritize the price evaluation of the jewelry on these two lists."

"I understand." Patton nodded.

He has been dealing with all kinds of jewelry all his life, but to be honest, he has never come into contact with so many jewelry.

"Boss, these...are all true?"

"Guess." Li Yue looked at Patton with a smile: "Form an appraisal team as soon as possible, limited to ten people."

"I understand." Patton nodded.

"I need you to help me categorize them. Put each grade of jewelry in the same display case and label them so that I can easily identify them."

The workload is huge, and Li Yue doesn't think Patton can do it alone.

"There are some guest rooms upstairs. You can stay here temporarily while you work here. You can also take care of your own food and drinks. There is food in the kitchen. You can help yourself."

Patton is a person who is crazy about jewelry and has been dealing with jewelry all his life.

I have seen all kinds of jewelry, but the quality of Li Yue's jewelry is too high, and the lowest price is one hundred thousand US dollars.

If a woman enters here, she will definitely go crazy when she sees the jewels and precious stones here.

Li Yue returned to the living room, and Patton followed him out: "Boss, you'd better set up a metal detector here."

"Ok?"

"I can be confident in myself and won't touch your things, but I can't guarantee that everyone else will have this awareness. Don't challenge human nature. Any of these items can make a fortune."

Li Yue thought about it and nodded, "I understand."

At this moment, Li Yue's phone rang. It was Duke Dyna calling.

"Mr. John, I'm interested in your shining star. Would you be willing to talk to me?"

"Duke Dyna, I didn't say I wouldn't sell it. As long as the price is right, I'm certainly happy to sell it."

"I don't have that much cash on hand."

“…” Li Yue’s mouth twitched.

Are you kidding me? I have no money to talk about it.

"I have several wine estates with a market value of over 1 billion euros. I'm going to add another 1.5 billion in cash. What do you think?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't have any experience in managing a winery. Even the best winery would only lose money if I took it over."

Are you kidding me? Who would sell their profitable assets for a top luxury collection?

Although there are occasionally such insane people.

But most people would not easily exchange their high-quality assets for a gem.

No wealthy person would easily exchange his valuable assets for a gem unless he is completely penniless.

Even if they really encounter cash problems, they can temporarily mortgage them to the bank instead of selling them directly.

Therefore, Li Yue had no doubt that the wine estate mentioned by Duke Dyna was most likely a poorly managed, low-quality asset with insufficient income to cover expenses.

"Well, it seems you are not interested in the wine company." Duke Dyna was a little disappointed.

However, Li Yue's answer did not surprise him.

No one is a fool, so this kind of temptation is meaningless.

"Mr. John, are you interested in the yacht company?"

"I don't know much about yachts."

"Have you heard of Opal Energy Industries?"

"No."

"Mr. John, you can learn more about this company first, and then we can talk."

After Li Yue finished talking with Duke Dyna, he called Nim.

"Mr. John, has Patton contacted you?"

"We've signed the contract, thank you, Nim."

"That's good."

"Nim, do you know Opal Energy Industries?"

"I know, a famous European shipyard, a private yacht construction company. Mr. John, do you want to buy a yacht?"

"Tell me the details of this company."

Opal Energy Industries, one of the six largest yacht companies in Europe, has a market capitalization of 180 billion euros.

Every year, more than 3,000 private yachts of various models are delivered to the world. We also accept customized high-end yachts. Currently, many yachts of wealthy people are built by Opal Energy Industries.

However, the board of directors has recently been caught up in factional struggles and has been exposed for financial fraud, causing the company's stock price to plummet in the past month.

Li Yue touched his chin. Did the Duke of Dyna want to transfer his shares to him?

"Nim, do you think it's worth buying shares of this company now?"
