Chapter 693: Watching the Flowers

In late March, when Chen Dahe was watching the clouds rolling in the sky, the white and chubby old man Wang rushed to Zurich at this time, and Chen Dahe personally went to the airport to pick up people.

Sitting in the spacious and comfortable new Isota Falasini car, looking at the neat and upright buildings, bustling street markets and clean environment outside, Old Man Wang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Chen Dahe, and said with emotion, "It's not easy, you kid, it's really impressive!"

"Huh?" Chen Dahe glanced at him inexplicably, "What do you mean?

"Bah, I don't know what to do," Old Man Wang glared at him, turned his head and continued to look out the window, and after a while, he said softly, "With such a good environment abroad, it is easy to stay on your terms, but from your attitude, I don't see the slightest idea of settling here, you kid, you can!"

"Heh, it's not a scolding," Chen Dahe cocked Erlang's legs, half ridiculed and half disdainfully said, "Don't you just want to say that I haven't forgotten my ancestors and admired the foreigners, and I'm not like the people who went to the east and Nanyang back then, I can't live happily, so I have to leave my hometown to make a living, and the country is not like the warlords who fought and raced before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and I don't even have a place to stay, why do I want to emigrate for no reason?"

Wang Yun shook his head with a smile, and just wanted to praise him, only to hear this kid say again,

"Of course, if I really can't survive in China, I'm sure I'll be the first to run away! โ€

"Get out," Old Man Wang scolded, "You kid just can't get on the table with dog meat, forget it, get down to business, save yourself from making Lao Tzu angry, are things ready?"

"How do you prepare?" Chen Dahe looked at him in surprise, "Why don't you just put it in the warehouse and wait for you to take it out one by one?"

"Do you want to see the Year of the Dog and the Horse Moon?" Wang Yun squinted at him, "Didn't you find someone to see it, just according to the current classification, a group of five hundred pieces, make a big long table to put it, read it in an hour, look at ten groups a day, that is, five thousand pieces, two hundred thousand pieces, forty days to finish, just my two months of vacation, I can also leave half a month to walk around, buy some souvenirs to go back." โ€

"Huh?" Chen Dahe was dumbfounded, "Looking at antiques, you still have this kind of opinion? Shouldn't you take a magnifying glass and look at it for two hours? โ€

"Less messy," Old Man Wang dusted off the corners of his clothes impatiently, "Do you know or do I understand?"

"Yes," Chen Dahe reluctantly raised his hand in surrender, "Your old man is of high seniority, you have the final say." โ€

In the past, he used to use his identity as a boss to suppress Jerome and them, but now when he encounters an unreasonable person, he can only admit it.

The car drove into the Magnolia Manor, but the old man Wang did not express any opinions, as if he was used to this manor covering an area of more than 60 acres, and his attitude was a little unpredictable.

There was still some time before dinner, Chen Dahe first sent Old Man Wang back to the room to wash, and then went to the study to find Old Theo, "How are the antiques transferred?"

"It will be completed in two days," said Old Theo, straightening up and smiling all year round, "After overtime construction, at the end of last month, the museum and the underground supporting vault were all completed and ready for use, but it was still after nearly a month of drying before the antiques were transferred last week, but the number of 250,000 antiques was too large and it would take a certain amount of time to complete." โ€

"Two hundred and fifty thousand?" Chen Dahe was stunned. "So much in the past few months?"

In September last year, there were only more than 160,000 pieces, why is it only half a year small, and there are 80,000 or 90,000 more pieces at once, which is too efficient, right?

Seeing the owner's face, Old Theo knew that he had a misunderstanding, and said with a chuckle, "There are 220,000 Chinese antiques, and the other 30,000 are collections from Europe, of which oil paintings and sculptures and other works of art and royal articles are the mainstay, and this part has cost a total of nearly 300 million US dollars." โ€

Chen Dahe blinked blankly, 300 million? Isn't that an average price of 10,000 US dollars?

At this time, he also remembered that he had indeed decided to agree to the old Theo's proposal to increase the acquisition of European collections, and also approved him a large amount of 500 million US dollars, of course, this was including the acquisition of Chinese antiques, but he really did not expect that this European product was so expensive, only one-tenth of the quantity of domestic goods, but the price was three times more expensive.

But fortunately, this batch of things will definitely have a significant appreciation in the future, the collection fever of later generations is not only a domestic patent, the European collection market is warmer than the domestic one, the market is also larger, and the domestic antiques pay attention to the level of craftsmanship and rarity, Europeans like the celebrity effect, the works of well-known artists are certainly higher than the price of non-well-known artists, or the things used by celebrities can also be, even if it is an ordinary object on the bad street, as long as it is related to celebrities, it is worth a hundred times, if it can be related to the royal family or something, the price is even more unbelievableใ€‚

Now that the old Theo said that the things he collected were mainly works of art and royal supplies, then he would definitely not lose money.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Chen Dahe finally nodded, "Okay, as long as it's a good thing, you can continue to collect it, and if the money is not enough, tell me." โ€

"Yes sir," said Old Theo, with a smile on his face unchanged, and said softly, "unlike your acquisition of treasures from your own country, when I proposed to increase the acquisition of European collections, it was for the sake of wealth preservation and appreciation, so when all the funds prepared are spent, I will release a part of the collection to heat up the market, only when there are buying and selling, the market will be active, and the price of the collection will continue to rise, so that there will probably not be a shortage of money by using the collection to maintain the collection." โ€

This makes sense, there is a market for buying and selling, and if you hide all the good things, the market is not hot enough, and the degree of appreciation will indeed be greatly affected.

Chen Dahe just wanted to nod, but then reacted and looked up at old Theo, "What do you mean, is it to restart the sale of antiques to Asia?"

"That's just one aspect," Old Theo pursed his lips, "after we sold several batches of antiques to Asia the year before last, some people over there are also aware of the difference in the price of antiques between Europe and Asia, so now the income from selling ordinary antiques is not large, and it can only play a role in heating up the market.

Chen Dahe couldn't help but laugh, it seems that he really underestimated the enthusiasm of the world to pursue profits, and there will be no such good thing in the future.
