Chapter 491: The seal is settled, and the clues are unknown
I can't see whose handiwork it is, and I can't think about it further at the moment. Once you have made sure that there is no problem with something, it is imperative to negotiate and take it down.
Now that both sides are optimistic, all that remains is to negotiate.
In Yin Baorong's view, on the surface, it was Shangguan Yu who talked to him, accompanied by Yu Yao and Cai Pengxi, but in fact, it was three to one.
But what he didn't expect was that Yu Yao and Cai Pengxi got up together and said that they wanted to see the works in the gallery and let Shangguan Yu talk alone.
Although there are some surprises, they will not stop them. It's still a matter on the surface, it was originally Shangguan Yu who wanted to buy a seal, and the handscroll was also Shangguan Yu's.
After Yu Yao and Cai Pengxi left the room, Yin Baorong first said, "You see, the thin bas-relief of this seal has not been paid, and the carving of this seal can't tell which famous artist of the Republic of China it isΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· So, it's all about eyesight. β
His words, which seem to be vague to evaluate the seal, are actually a step back, that is, a foreshadowing for the price.
Of course, since it is ambiguous, you can also enter again if you retreat, and how to take the next step depends on Shangguan Yu's reaction.
Shangguan Yu smiled, "Boss Yin, our previous cooperation was still very pleasant. You said that the price of this handscroll is high, which is measured from the market price, and I don't consider the mentality of me as a collector. β
"I know Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· this"
As soon as Yin Baorong spoke, Shangguan Yu raised his hand to interrupt, "This is my situation on this side." Well, it's a two-way deal, so I should put myself in your shoes as well. As for you, most of the money you take will not be collected, you will have to be poured out, and you will do business. So, 18 million, you don't make any money. β
"Brother's words are very heartwarming!"
Shangguan Yu stretched out a finger, "In this way, I'll take a big step, so big that I might pull the egg, and make it up! β
Shangguan Yu let it to 10 million, which is about 20% lower than the market price, which leaves Yin Baorong with profit margins. However, since it is two things in and one out, the specific amount of one of them is actually of little significance, and the final result is to count the two together.
Yin Baorong slapped his face, "Brother, I'm happy! In this way, I'm even more happy! Since this seal has a relationship with you, I'll give it to you! Don't talk about it, you can just let the price of the handscroll a little." β
The so-called "send" is naturally wool from the sheep. The so-called "let a little" naturally have to be satisfied with Yin Baorong.
"Cut it in half again. Shangguan Yu was simply sharp, "This is already the end, Boss Yin should be able to see my sincerity." β
Ten million and then cut it in half, becoming five million. This is equivalent to Yin Baorong buying Shangguan Yu's handscroll for 10 million, and Shangguan Yu buying Yin Baorong's seal for 5 million.
Yin Baorong narrowed his eyes and nodded his head a few times, but did not respond immediately, but lit another cigarette.
Shangguan Yu was silent, just waiting for Yin Baorong to respond.
Five million is the market price for this seal, but ten million is low for this scroll. Shangguan Yu gave in, because he had to take down the seal.
Regarding Shangguan Yu's "ambition to win", in fact, Yin Baorong does not have much advantage psychologically. Because of Cai Pengxi's "joining", he once suspected that Cai Pengxi was the real buyer, which was also consistent with Cai Pengxi's identity as a jade collector. Even, now Yin Baorong is a little suspicious that the predecessor is just a rhetoric.
Moreover, when Yin Baorong's father, Yin Xitian, bought this seal from Zhao Xingxing's father, it didn't cost much money at all.
"Okay! The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever. I won't talk about the losses and take advantage of them, Brother Shangguan has good things to sell in the future, don't forget me Yin Baorong. β
"Boss Yin, don't worry, I will never treat my friends badly!"
"Well said!" Yin Baorong stretched out his hand, "Hold a hand, make a deal!"
The two then handed over the money and goods, and the two cleared.
At this time, Yu Yao and Cai Pengxi had not returned. After putting away the seal, Shangguan Yu patted his head, "Ouch, look at my brain! There is one more thing I forgot to say, otherwise, it will be three things together!"
Yin Baorong naturally didn't think that Shangguan Yu had really forgotten it, he didn't mention it until he was done, it must be that this thing couldn't be compared with handscrolls and seals in terms of magnitude.
"Oh, Brother Shangguan, there's still something to sell?"
"On the contrary, I want to find something from you!"
"Now that I've remembered it, it's not too late to say. β
"Or is it about Ling Zun's collection, I heard that Ling Zun also once received an anonymous work during the Republic of China - Zhong Kui's marrying sister?"
Yin Baorong couldn't help but be stunned, "I really haven't seen or heard my father talk about this! Where did you hear about it?"
Shangguan Yu saw that Yin Baorong didn't seem to be lying to him, "Oh, the Tibetan friend in Nancheng is an old man, and he said that about ten years ago, he once sold Ling Zun a piece of Zhong Kui to marry his sister. β
"Whew! My father used to be in the antique business, and he collected a lot of things! You said that the anonymous name is a small year of the Republic of China's work, and he poured it out when he changed hands, and he never mentioned it to me, which is also normal. β
"That's right. β
"I'm happy today, I'll be the east in the evening. Let's go down and take a look first, if they like something, I'll definitely give a price. β
Yu Yao and Cai Pengxi didn't like anything agreeable and valuable. That night, Yin Baorong was the east, and the four of them had dinner together. But it ended early.
After the end, Yu Yao and Shangguan Yu came to Cai Pengxi's courtyard, and sat down in the living room to discuss again.
Cai Pengxi mentioned more than a dozen famous seal carvers during the Republic of China, but after checking with Yu Yao, they were not like them.
Yu Yao asked, "Could it be that Mr. Xu did it himself?"
"It's possible. Cai Pengxi responded.
"It's not too important. It's just that although the seal is successful, the clue to Mr. Xu's death is still unknown!"
"There is no way, and sometimes, you have to go with the flow. Cai Pengxi paused, and said, "Since this seal has been obtained, and it is mainly the credit of Shangguan, then I think it is better to let Shangguan keep it on behalf of him first?"
Shangguan Yu waved his hand, "I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and I still earned five million!"
Yu Yao thought for a while, "Old man, I think, you should take it!"
Cai Pengxi excused himself, "If Shangguan doesn't want to take care of it, you are the heir of the big palm, and you should take it!"
"Old man, you have high attainments in jade, you have a wide range of contacts, and you are in Yanjing, which is convenient, and if you keep it, it will be more convenient to track it down!" Yu Yao further explained.
When Shangguan Yu heard this, he also felt that it was most appropriate for Cai Pengxi to take it first.
Cai Pengxi couldn't refuse, and finally agreed.
After Shangguan Yu said goodbye, Yu Yao, who lived in the courtyard, also went back to the room to rest.
At ten o'clock, Yu Yao just lay down to sleep, but the mobile phone rang again.
When I picked it up, it was Xiao Ying's call.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
