Chapter 1892 - Go Around and Go Back
After the armor appeared, it really didn't cause too many waves.
The armor is very old and looks torn, and although the auctioneers have repeatedly emphasized that it is an antiquity from the Capetian dynasty in France, collectors are still not interested in it.
The starting price was $150,000, and there were very few bidders, and in the end, Yang Fei easily won the armor at a price of $200,000.
After taking a picture of the dish, Yang Fei only shot at this armor, and many people expressed their incomprehension.
A worn-out piece of armor, and nothing particularly outstanding, what do you pay for it for two hundred thousand dollars?
200,000 US dollars, converted into RMB, is also a lot of small money!
To be honest, Yang Fei didn't know the true value of this armor.
He just believed in Fu Heng, so he took the film.
Fortunately, the money spent is not much, otherwise Yang Fei would really have a heartache.
After taking the armor down, Fu Heng smiled and said, "Boss, congratulations." ”
Yang Fei said: "Old Fu, I don't think everyone is interested in it!
Fu Heng said: "The armor looks worn out because it is old and no one has taken care of it. But its value is definitely far more than 200,000 dollars. ”
Yang Fei said: "However, even if it is worth a lot of money, but the collectors do not agree, the auction cannot be higher price, and it is useless." ”
Fu Heng said: "Gold will always shine." The armor that Saint Louis wore was another pair in the hands of a European collector, I once asked him, and he said it was worth three million dollars. As soon as the news of your armor came to the newspapers, I compared it with the European collector, and then published the results of the research in the newspaper, and the value of your armor was revealed. ”
Yang Fei said: "Why didn't that European collector come to this auction?"
Fu Heng said with a smile: "He, like the Xintian Dong family, is also declining economically, plus he is old, and he has no energy to collect antiques everywhere anymore." As far as I know, he hasn't traveled the world collecting antiques in years. ”
Yang Fei sighed.
The next auction items were all foreign antiques, and Yang Fei did not bid.
The auction ended without a hitch.
The highest transaction price in the market was the dish Fang Wei bought by Yang Fei, with a transaction price of 9.5 million US dollars.
Yang Fei clearly remembers that in another time and space that he is familiar with, the transaction price of the dish in 2001 was also about 10 million US dollars.
This is also Yang Fei's confidence in taking this dish.
Because he knows the other party's reserve price!
Yang Fei skillfully used psychological tactics and successfully won the dish with $9.5 million.
If they miss today, the Chinese will have to wait at least 13 years for the Chinese to return to China, and they will have to pay more than 10 million US dollars.
Yang Fei brought a model of the lid from China, and immediately combined the lid and the body into one.
Tightly fit, all in one!
The authenticity of antiques sold at Christie's auctions should not be doubted.
"Mr. Yang, congratulations!" Liang Chao and the others came over, congratulated Yang Fei, and said at the same time, "Mr. Yang, the cover is in our museum, and now the body is in your hands, we can hold an exhibition, combine the body and the cover, and fulfill our long-cherished wish!"
Yang Fei said: "Mr. Liang, you see, I already have a cover. ”
Liang Chao said: "This is a fake, not an original. ”
Yang Fei said: "Yes, I also agree with Mr. Liang's proposal just now. I hope that after Mr. Liang returns to China, he will give more kind words to the leaders of your embassy to facilitate this matter. It's best to keep the weapon and the lid together forever. ”
Liang Chao said: "Mr. Yang has such an elegant meaning, which is really a blessing. Mr. Yang, could you donate your body to our museum?"
As soon as these words came out, the people on Yang Fei's side all looked at each other.
Nearly 10 million dollars of treasures, before you have a hot hand in your hand, you want to talk about donations?
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Donation? I will seriously consider it." ”
Liang Chao was overjoyed when he heard this.
Yang Fei said: "However, I also hope that your pavilion can donate the cover to me! I am willing to give back 5 million US dollars to your pavilion." With this money, you can also buy more antiques or use them to improve the current collection environment. ”
Yang Fei spent $9.5 million on this body, and he was willing to pay half of the price for the cover, saying that it was a mutual donation, but in fact, it was spent money to buy it!
To be honest, the price is really not cheap.
Yang Fei's words were reasonable, and he answered Liang Chao's proposal for donation very well.
Liang Chao smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Yang, after I return to China, I will report to the leader." ”
Luo Yuxi also came over to congratulate Yang Fei.
She looked at the dish Fangli and admired it, looked at the armor again, and asked Yang Fei: "What did you buy this European knight's armor for? This kind of thing is not very valuable." ”
Yang Fei smiled: "I didn't expect that even you would be blind." ”
Luo Yuxi was stunned: "Have I lost my eyes?"
Yang Fei said: "Elder Fu said that this armor was worn by Saint-Louis, the king of France. ”
Luo Yuxi smiled: "How is this possible? Each period has its own armor style. Before the invention of firearms, armor had its meaning in the era of cold weapons. The most common are chain mail, plate armor, gothic armor. During the Saint-Louis period, there should have been no armor of this style. This armor probably appeared at the end of the Capetian dynasty. ”
Fu Heng glanced at Luo Yuxi and said, "Miss Luo has a lot of research on history and antiques? ”
Yang Fei smiled: "This is not a place for exchanges and discussions, let's go back and talk about it!"
Wang Yuanzhi said: "Yes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty! The security in the United States is not as good as in China, so let's leave as soon as possible!"
Yang Fei said to Luo Yuxi: "Welcome Miss Luo to sit with me." ”
Luo Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled: "That's what I mean!"
The crowd got into the car and left.
"Fly less, it seems that someone is following us. Halfway through the car, the mouse suddenly said.
Yang Fei said: "There are so many cars on the road, you can't be mistaken, right?"
The mouse said: "Fei Shao, I just have a hunch." ”
Yang Fei groaned: "Go around and go back." ”
"Understood, fly less. ”
The rat deliberately made a big circle around the center of New York.
The car behind also followed the car in front of it in a circle.
After the convoy entered the gate of the villa, Yang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gun control in the United States is lax, and law enforcement is far more complicated than at home.
If you are really targeted by bad guys, it is really a trouble in this foreign country.
Ma Feng observed at the door for a while, but did not see any suspicious vehicles or characters.
Yang Fei hid the treasures he had taken, and then entertained Luo Yuxi.
Luo Yuxi, Fu Heng, and Wang Yuanzhi debated fiercely because of the armor matter, and each expressed his own opinions.
In the end, Fu Heng successfully persuaded Luo Yuxi.
Luo Yuxi sighed and said: "I'm blind! Yang Fei picked up another big leak!"
Yang Fei said with a smile: "It's all up to peers." ”
“......”
At this time, Yang Fei's phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was a local call from the United States.
