Chapter 768 sky-high
As soon as Mitsui said these words, it was almost as if the name of the Mitsui family had been brought out to press people. ±, x.
If other people dared to speak in front of Watanabe like this, Watanabe must have turned his face with him long ago, but it was because of the identity of the little old man opposite him as one of the heirs of the Mitsui family, so he had been holding back.
Because he knew that if he turned his face, his fate would definitely be worse.
This old guy will definitely use his unlimited firepower to deal with himself, and the pressure from the Mitsui family is not something he can bear as a small gang leader.
And now he can feel fortunate that, fortunately, this Jade Dragon Chair was originally intended to be sold to this guy. The reason why so many mysteries were created before was to dispel this guy’s suspicions and buy things at a high price by the way.
Because he had also seen that jade dragon chair. Although his main business was a social gangster, his ancestors had also been in the antique business for several generations, so of course he could tell whether the chair was good or bad.
Especially when Jin Muchen told him that this was a chair made by the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he felt that he was already in a circle at that time.
With such a descendant of a third-rate antique dealer, he has actually seen it now, and even has to handle it, one of the top antiques in the world, how can he not be trapped?
And it was during the period when he was surrounded, that Jin Muchen quietly and Noda Yoshihiko made a decision about the Jade Dragon Chair. Of course, they didn’t plan to tell Watanabe Junichi, because they were afraid that this guy would arrive. When I was under too much pressure, I didn’t perform well.
And now it seems that the plan made by Noda Yoshihiko and Jin Muchen. All were executed flawlessly.
And now Mitsui Takawa. Sure enough, he asked the price directly. You must know that if he encounters such an antique, even if he has a personal appraisal of Noda Yoshihiko, he will be very cautious, and he will find an expert in Chinese antiques, or even a number of experts in Chinese antiques. Do an identification.
Just like today, before they came to buy this Yaozhang Tianmu Bowl, they invited an expert in this Yaozhang Tianmu Bowl. Kobayashi Kyousuke.
If it weren’t for the lack of time today, and Yoshihiko Noda’s performance was too dazzling, coupled with Watanabe’s reluctance to cooperate, the Mitsui brothers had to make a decision on the spot to win these treasures.
Because they were afraid, just when they turned around and asked other treasure appraisers to come over for appraisal, this Watanabe might have taken those treasures and ran away. After all, he has always been reluctant to sell these things. For our brothers.
That’s why they decided not to waste time, and now it’s the same with this Jade Dragon Chair. Never give Watanabe a chance to take this thing away.
And Yoshihiko Noda performed so well today, coupled with the lack of time. They also didn’t plan to ask other experts to come and help. After all, they also have a certain degree of confidence in their own eyesight, so they decided to take it directly.
At the same time as hearing the brothers’ inquiry, Jin Muchen, who had been hiding in the office, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was most worried about before was this Jade Dragon Chair, which was different from the Han bricks and Han tiles before. Although those things were expensive, they were nearly a hundred pieces of various antique collections packaged.
So it took more than 100 million yuan, and the two brothers were not too distressed, but this Yulong chair is different, this is a treasure that is worth so much money.
What if these two brothers, for the sake of caution, are unwilling to start directly, and instead have to find a few appraisal experts to appraise them together?
In that case, the chair would have to be worn in less than half an hour.
So Jin Muchen and Noda Yoshihiko discussed it and felt that they couldn’t give the brothers such a chance. That’s why Watanabe was reluctant every time. The more he was reluctant to sell antiques to the Mitsui brothers, The more these two brothers will not suspect that this thing is fake.
And they won’t give the brothers time to invite other appraisal experts to come over.
It is also these psychological battles. Now the Mitsui brothers have completely walked into the big hole they dug, and even took the initiative to invite them to fill the soil quickly, which makes Jin Muchen unhappy.
Watanabe was still acting like he was constipated, and he was slumped for a long time, but he didn’t quote a price.
At this time, Mitsui Mitsui was fanning the flames: “Mr. Watanabe, you should think about it, anyway, it’s not the first time you betray your friend today, so what’s the harm in betraying it once? And we won’t treat you badly. , but it will give you a price that will satisfy you. When you take the money, are you afraid that so much money will not be able to convince your friend? Even if he is still very unhappy, but he has taken the money, he will not come to you again. Trouble? At best, I don’t want to cooperate with you anymore, then I don’t think it matters. You lost the friendship of your friend, but you also gained the friendship of our Mitsui family!”
This Mitsui Mitsui doesn’t seem to be completely a sham, at least he is very good at deceiving people.
It’s no wonder that a shrewd person like Noda Yoshihiko would be buried by him. Just listening to him say these few words now, Jin Muchen feels that this guy is far more skilled than him in appraising treasures. The ability is much stronger.
Sure enough, Watanabe seemed to be completely shaken after hearing Mitsui Mitsui’s words. The hesitant look on his face only existed for a few minutes, and then he gritted his teeth and became firm.
“Okay, what is the origin of this baby, Noda-kun has also explained it to you before. The Ming Dynasty carpenter emperor’s own work, the second surviving piece in the world. These conditions alone have added color to this chair. There are quite a few, and the materials, workmanship, carvings, etc. of this chair are all top-notch works. And this is still a large-scale furniture, not the kind of small viewing device, so the price of this chair… ”
When it came to the final price, Watanabe stopped again, and indeed at this stage, not only he felt embarrassed, but also both Mitsui brothers felt embarrassed.
Because so far, such a thing has never really appeared in an auction, so there is no precedent, and this thing is not easy to price.
Song Huizong, the Wenqing Emperor of the Song Dynasty, had a few paintings that were auctioned. Those paintings that were the least sold for more than 40 million yuan, and the expensive ones sold for more than 70 million yuan.
But that is a painting, and at this time, the furniture is not a good match.
“Um… two hundred million, two hundred million dollars…”
After a long time, Watanabe Junichi reported a sky-high price, and when Mitsui Taka and his brother heard such a price, they even wondered if their ears had heard it wrong.
This **** Watanabe, is he crazy?
Isn’t it just a jade dragon chair? How dare you ask for $200 million? What do you think this is? Could it be more precious than that Yao-changing Tianmu Bowl?
The Mitsui brothers have grown their mouths at this time, and I don’t know how to say that Watanabe is good. If it wasn’t for the two brothers who were both well-mannered guys, I’m afraid they couldn’t help jumping up at this time and greeted with a big slap in the face. This guy is out.
200 million US dollars, I bought two Yaobian Tianmu bowls before, but only spent more than 140 million US dollars, and bought nearly 100 antiques from the Han Dynasty, but only spent 140 million US dollars That’s it.
And now, for a jade dragon chair, you dare to ask Laozi for 200 million US dollars. Is your brain flooded?
Mitsui Guangliang and Mitsui Takawa, looking at Watanabe at this time, seemed to be looking at a lunatic.
And Watanabe didn’t seem to see the eyes of the two brothers at all: “First of all, this chair was made by a Chinese emperor. We won’t talk about the materials, craftsmanship, etc., but anyone who understands Chinese antique furniture can It can be seen that this chair is definitely a fine antique chair. Secondly, I want to say that this is made by an emperor himself, and this emperor is also a famous carpenter emperor. Although he is famous in Chinese history, and Not that kind of Mingjun, but I think many descriptions about him are quite controversial. Even Chinese archaeologists who study history think that there are quite a few doubts about the account of this emperor. So this is a It is quite a gimmick and worth studying the emperor, if this point can attract people’s attention at that time, then this chair will be even more valuable, so I asked for two hundred million US dollars, which is not expensive at all.”
When Watanabe said this, the Mitsui brothers were really stunned, because what Watanabe said was really true.
If the carpenter emperor is a very controversial person, then the price of his works will be even more valuable. This is the same as the current literary and film circles for more than a year~www.readmtl.com~ has been Noisy IP is the so-called intellectual property.
Think about it, although you, the carpenter emperor, died, a handicraft you left behind suddenly appeared, and the emperor’s life and past became hot. Everyone came to study the life of this guy. The research found that, hey, this guy is really interesting, so he is not as stupid as recorded in history?
So why did those history books try to bury him? In the end, even the others died, and he even gave him the name of Ming Xizong to ridicule him?
Who did he rightly offend? You know he is the king! How dare anyone throw dirty water on him?
In this way, the more people who study him, the more valuable his intellectual property is, and in this way, the jade dragon chair that he has spread to the world that only talks about handicrafts, the higher the value. . .
From this perspective, it is understandable that Watanabe shouted such a sky-high price.
But now there is a key question, is this carpenter emperor, the records about him in history, is it really so controversial? (To be continued.)
