Chapter 813: Be a favor again
After the story was told here, Mark talked to the Jacob brothers: just now the two of them passed by the living room, and they also knew that the boss was looking at the treasure, so they sat there from a distance and listened, learning some knowledge.
After hearing this, the younger brother asked, "Mark, that thing is also a hundred pounds, if you run with it, how fast can you run?"
"It's hard to say, but it is estimated that you can't outrun an ordinary farmer, and nine times out of ten you will catch up. ”
Jacob agreed: it's really not light, and it's okay to hold such a big thing, but run away with it, unless it's carrying it, don't want to run.
And then it's embarrassing......
The two brothers suddenly felt a chill on their backs, and turned their heads to look: Boss Guan's eyes floated over, and the eyes on both sides were matched, and the brothers were furious in their hearts!
"It's miserable, the boss tells a story, we have a lot of mouths!"
My brother reacted first, the key is that the story just now felt a bit legendary, and I didn't think too much about it.
The two brothers are super strong men, and they both think that it will be difficult for them to escape from the door in that situation: just know this, and one of them will not pay attention to say it, so that they will not die and be heard by Boss Guan......
It's miserable!
The boss said that the antique dealer was holding something and running away from the door, that is, running away from the door, even if they ran faster than Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson, who was taking the excite, it was normal!
Let you talk too much!
The two unlucky guys looked at Guan Xingquan in embarrassment, trying to pretend to be innocent and childlike expressions on their faces, which made Guan Xingquan want to punch these two guys in the face!
Zhang Nan was admiring the statue carefully, and he didn't even hear the conversation between the two on the other end of the huge living room;
Xiang Weirong heard it, and said in English to Guan Xingquan: "You accompanied Anan to buy silver dollars, how much do 400 weigh?"
One counts it at 26.6 grams, that's 10.64 kilograms.
Xiang Weirong continued, but instead pointed at the two big guys, "An antique dealer is estimated to be young, and he is not an athlete."
Carry at least 400 silver coins with him, which is not a small amount, in a year when security is not very good, do you think he will carry this huge amount of money alone and go directly to a strange place to receive the goods?"
As soon as the point stopped, the two brothers immediately understood that the antique dealer must have been accompanied by a strong retinue or bodyguard.
A farmer's family may be improvised, but he is definitely not a powerful landlord who hires a nursing home.
People said the price of 400 silver dollars, and you didn't directly object, the other party put down the money and left with things, the original owner really didn't have much to do.
Form is stronger than people, and there is always a reason for the existence of a story.
Mr. Xiang spoke, and Brother Mark hurriedly flashed.
"Don't talk more next time!"
I made a secret decision in my heart.
Soon, Henry understood the general situation again, "...... Things should have been in that person's house since the '60s.
When our expert was chatting with the other party, the other party mentioned that a famous Japanese person had talked about this artifact with him, and the price was about 100,000 yuan. ”
Could it be that I am mistaken?
"Possibly. ”
Zhang Nan only remembered that this piece was seen once in Japan by a Chinese collector in 92 or 93, but it was difficult to say before, maybe this time he remembered it wrong.
Grab business from the little devils, or get back your own baby, cool!
However, I really admire the attitude of the little devils towards the cultural relics that have been left on the island in their own country, and the price is too high, and they will never buy it back, no matter which country the buyer is.
Historical relics are important, but the most important thing in the circulation of culture and history is people, not old antique vessels!
To buy back the country's cultural relics at sky-high prices, we must call on our families not to speculate among themselves, and also whisper to the auction company, this is not a question of whether it is worth it, but a lack of calcium in the brain!
Shamelessly!
If you can afford it, you can buy it, even if it feels too expensive, whoever you love will buy it, let alone pray that the price will not be too expensive.
In the end, it's a dead thing, and we all know what it is, so we have to get it back alive and dead?
It doesn't matter if you don't even want your cheeks?
Is this patriotic?
it!
Brain-dead!
Well, it's much more important than those royal faucets, but a state-owned museum is shameless enough to write such a letter for a cultural relic!
Shame on all the Chinese people!
......
People don't want to be cheeky, Zhang Nan comes by all means, both openly and indiscriminately.
Now after listening to Henry's words, there is also a problem: 800,000 dollars in 1924, Rockefeller transferred it to someone else because he could not satisfy his possible perfectionism, or for other reasons.
What's the price?
Now that 500,000 yuan is eaten, even if it has changed hands a few times before, it is unlikely that it will be cheaper and cheaper.
Even if the price of Chinese bronzes exploded in the 20s, the owner would not have dealt with it at a real clearance price.
"Maybe the man didn't even know it once belonged to Rockefeller?"
There is a possibility.
It is not certain that Rockefeller may have given it away, and then the terrible economic crisis seems to be coming soon, and the later owners sell it cheaply?
Suicide?
Auction?
Illiterate goods were taken away by others?......
“...... Well, it's possible that that's it. ”
Zhang Nan and a few people automatically made up for it, there is absolutely no problem with this object itself, it is not a fake, it can only be that everything is possible.
"Remnants are worthless", probably Americans also have this concept, and today's $500,000 is not a small amount, and it seems normal for the original owner to sell it.
Then, another problem came out: for collecting, Zhang Nan is actually a perfectionist in his bones, but because there are too many collections in this life, he rarely shows it.
In my last life, I played with coins, porcelain, and bronze mirrors the most, and unless there were rare varieties that I didn't have before, I would only leave the best collection, and the rest would soon become cash.
As for porcelain, those with remnants or flaws, punching lines, and punching mouths will never be collected, and those with missing covers and bases will not be hidden, and they will all be turned upside down.
Sometimes I don't bother to accept something like that, just because it doesn't look pleasing to the eye.
The same goes for the bronze mirror, the quality is almost all sold, and it looks comfortable in exchange for money.
Although it is the right way to sell and raise Tibet, there is also perfectionism at work here.
It's okay like this, almost all of the ones left to the end are high-quality products, but the old people will regret it: "It would have been good to sell that piece later, and now it's worth how much ......"
At this time, Zhang Nan saw that the bronze with the lid was becoming more and more awkward: the remnant, unpleasant!
“...... No wonder Rockefeller wants to transfer it, I don't feel comfortable looking at many things, his bronze collection is estimated to be no match for me, I always see this missing braincase, blood pressure is estimated to have to go up!
Sleep and mood will be affected, uncomfortable, annoying to watch!"
The head of the cover Zhou is not sold for 500,000 yuan, and even if Rockefeller has great energy in the United States, there is nothing he can do about it, let alone go across the ocean to deal with a small warlord, and there is no hope of completing the whole weapon.
This will be the same for Zhang Nan: the museum will whisper to outsiders, but it will never sell the lid to itself!
Even if I can play the "joint exhibition" in the future, it will be at least a few years later, and I will have to waste my energy and time for the artifacts.
me!
Thinking about it a lot, he said casually: "It's spicy, these 500,000 are fucking favors!"
Hearing this, Xiang Weirong laughed, but Guan Boss and Henry didn't react: one didn't care, and the other didn't understand.
"To the Hunan Provincial Museum?"
As soon as he heard his brother-in-law's words, Zhang Nan immediately shook his head and said, "If you don't give it, you will give them away for nothing!"
Xiang Weirong didn't understand a little, it felt like someone had offended his brother-in-law somewhere, but it didn't seem to have any intersection between them, right?
"To the agricultural curator, his own family, hehe...... Comrade Bosheng is still very level!"
Although Nong Bosheng is an old pedant, he is also an old and cunning master, this Yongcheng Exhibition Hall given to him, it is unlikely that something will stay in Yongcheng for a long time in the end, but the benefits will definitely not be less!
Thinking of this, it seems that the next time I go back, I will have to take the two experts who will be busy on Long Island with me, and see if the "Ball at the Moulin Rouge" on his hilltop estate is the real Renoir.
If so, then Director Nong and his exhibition hall will be released, at least the construction of the new museum can be realized immediately.
