我顿了顿,故意看向台下的几位外国商人——其中那个穿灰色西装的,是伦敦一家珠宝行的老板,我小时候跟着爷爷见过他。“For those who are interested in jadeite,”我切换成英语,语速放缓,却很清晰,“this kind of imperial green is called ‘the color of emperor’s robe’ in China. It’s not just a jewel, but a collection that can appreciate in value by at least 15% every year.” (对于对翡翠感兴趣的各位,这种帝王绿在中国被称为“帝王袍之色”。它不仅仅是一件珠宝,更是每年至少能增值15%的收藏品。)
台下的灰色西装男人眼睛亮了,用英语问道:“Miss Ye, can you guarantee the authenticity of this jadeite? I’ve seen too many fakes in the market recently.” (叶小姐,您能保证这翡翠的真实性吗?我最近在市场上见过太多假货了。)
“Of course.”我笑了笑,从助理手里拿过鉴定证书,展示给台下看,“This is the GIA certificate, and you can check the serial number on the official website. Also, if you win the bid, we can arrange a second appraisal by any authority you trust. The cost will be borne by the organizer.” (当然。这是GIA鉴定证书,各位可以在官网上查询编号。另外,如果您中标,我们可以安排由您信任的任何权威机构进行二次鉴定,费用由主办方承担。)
