"Then you have come to the right place, I have antiques from dozens of countries here, you can definitely find items that satisfy you, call me An Siyuan, this is my Chinese name." ”

The white boss, who was about 50 years old, was quite fluent in Chinese, and when he learned that there was a Chinese name, Su Mule said to him: "You can call me Su, Mr. An, you like Chinese cultural relics very much? I have seen a lot, such as the lion, which is from Huaxia, right?"

"Yes, the world's largest colorful glazed lion was made in the Qing Dynasty, I like it, it is not for sale. ”

An Siyuan accompanied Su Mu on the tour, probably because he rarely met Chinese customers, so he continued to speak: "I have been to China several times, the first time was in 1956, and in 1948 I worked in an antique shop dealing in ceramics, during which I learned a lot of knowledge, and my favorite ones were paintings, ceramics and furniture, which are very charming.

Sometimes when I come across something I like, I fly to China and buy it, and in previous years it was completely worthless, and it was destroyed a lot, but in recent years its value has been rising, such as a set of Ming Dynasty mahogany tables, which cost me $260,000, and if I had bought it ten years ago, about $5,000 would have been enough. ”

Su Mu stood in front of a landscape painting, the painter's name was Zhang Daqian, who had lived in California for a long time, and was quite famous in the Chinese circle, and said:

"Red furniture should be very beautiful, I also had the idea of collecting a batch of antiques before, but there are too many fake antiques on the market, and I don't know about them, if you encounter precious Chinese antiques in the future, it is worth collecting, you can contact me, maybe I will be willing to buy." ”

He was not very old and had a very loud tone, and Mr. An Siyuan did not despise it, because he remembered Su Mu's face, and he had just seen it in the New York Times yesterday.

Other white people are prone to "face blindness" to yellow people, and Mr. Ellsworth often interacts with Chinese people and can distinguish them, coupled with Su Mu's name, and concludes in his heart that this is the billionaire who just bought the Empire State Building.

Some collectors only come in and don't leave, but he belongs to the pure

The businessman told him: "I have many fine products here, even including the mother porcelain, there are only about two in the world, and the other one is in the collection of the Chinese Palace Museum."

More than a dozen kinds of high and low temperature glazes are used on a piece of porcelain, and all kinds of processes are concentrated on the surface of its bottle, if it is not for the defective product with microscopic cracks and scratches, it is definitely a super treasure, and you can take it away for as long as 100,000 dollars. ”

It sounds quite collectible, but words such as cracks and scratches make Su Mu lose interest, and he has been short of money recently, shaking his head and saying: "Next time I have time, I want to buy a piece of jewelry suitable for young girls to wear, preferably owned by celebrities, and it sounds very high-end." ”

“…… When it comes to jewelry, I've got something here that is sure to please you. ”

An Siyuan hesitated and continued: "But they have already been booked, and the deposit should have been paid last week, and the buyer asked me to wait a few more days." ”

Su Mu thought that he was trying to trick himself and induce himself to buy the jewelry, and said briskly: "Don't worry, sir, I brought money, if I feel satisfied, I can pay to buy them immediately, since the buyer did not pay the deposit, then you have the right to decide who to sell to." ”

After thinking about it briefly, Mr. An Siyuan was not sure whether the buyer would buy it in the end, in case of a sudden change of hexagram, he would miss the buyer in vain, and stretched out his hand to lead the way, "Okay, please follow me this way, I don't know if you have heard of the leopard bracelet?"

"What?"

"It is a bracelet that once belonged to King Edward VIII of England.

You've probably heard the story of how he loved beauty rather than beauty, when he custom-made this leopard-shaped bracelet from Cartier Jewellery and gave it to the Duchess of Windsor, and I was selling it on my behalf, and the seller asked for £2,950,000. ”

Hearing this price, Su Mu's head was about to get bigger, he didn't have so much money on him, and there was only more than one million dollars left in his account, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

It's just that Mr. An Siyuan is too real-minded, thinking that Su Mu is mostly not looking at ordinary goods, so he directly recommends the most expensive jewelry in the store.

Just a few days after the relationship with Lily was confirmed, I didn't know how long we could be together for the time being, I hesitated for a moment, emotion successfully overcame reason, gritted my teeth and replied: "Look at this thing first, can you be sure that it is genuine?"

"Of course, if it is found to be a fake, welcome to come to me, our gallery has many experienced experts, and Cartier has determined that this is the one they made for the Duchess of Windsor. ”

……

Through the window pane, you can see a small leopard bracelet, which is placed on a red cloth.

The shape is quite chic, Su Mu is not sure if Lily will like it, he himself likes it, put on gloves and picked up the bracelet to look through it, and then went to check the jewelry in other cabinets, which are not as attractive as the leopard bracelet.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, he still made up his mind to buy the bracelet, if he was reluctant to spend even such a small amount of money, Su Mu was worried that Lily would think that he was insincere, and when he was still studying in Castellar, he knew that Lily's family was very rich, and his father often drove a Rolls-Royce to pick her up from school.

Distressed about using so much money to buy an inconspicuous little thing, he asked An Siyuan, "Is it okay to have a credit card?"

"Credit card?"

The head was a little confused, and the white owner of the gallery thought to himself, what credit card limit can be as high as more than two million pounds, and nodded: "Yes, then use it...... Credit card payments. ”

JPMorgan Bank's credit cards are made of palladium and can be worth thousands of dollars in a single small card.

When I was applying for a loan at the bank the day before yesterday, the account manager invited Su Mu to apply for this credit card, which theoretically has the limit to buy all valuable goods, even private jets.

But the bill must be settled every month, there are no installments, it will only be handled for the top wealthy people who are worth more than $500 million, and there are many premium benefits, numbered "72", indicating that he is the 72nd user in the world to get this credit card.

Before Christmas, Penguin will pay dividends, and Qugou Supermarket will be listed, and will also withdraw 30 million US dollars from the company's account for dividends, so as to avoid waiting for the investors to be cheaper after listing, anyway, the company will have tens of millions of dollars more after financing, so there is no need to worry about problems in the capital chain.

Su Mu was going to use the credit card temporarily, and he would pay it back at the end of the month, and after signing the contract, the employee in charge of swiping the card would be suspicious, thinking that he had encountered a scammer.

But then he called the bank and found that there were more than three million dollars in the account, and when he returned the credit card to Su Mu, his attitude suddenly became respectful.

I was secretly guessing how high the limit of this card was, and at the same time, I was also guessing how much money it would take to get this credit card......
