Chapter 676: Royal Wrench
"On the one hand, I will give you a reminder, and on the other hand, I will invite you again, if you can help me catch the traitor, my promise will remain the same!" Zhang Dongyue looked at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin has become a master painter, he now knows, and has a new plan for how to use Tang Yin.
If Tang Yin is willing to join his command, even if he doesn't need Tang Yin to charge, using Tang Yin's influence in the art circle can bring him a lot of benefits.
After all, there are not many master painters, and there are even fewer master painters in their early twenties.
As long as Tang Yin joins his command, he will use his resources to hold Tang Yin up, so that Tang Yin can have more influence, and in turn use Tang Yin's influence to help him.
Win-win!
"I'm sorry, I think I've already answered you explicitly!"
"At this time and that time, even if you don't cooperate with me now, Zhang Donglei will find you, it's better for the two of us to cooperate. ”
Tang Yin still shook his head, he had no intention of cooperating with Zhang Dongyue at all.
"Okay, I won't force you, but my previous promise will continue to be valid, as long as you can hand over Zhang Donglei to me, whether alive or dead. Seeing that Tang Yin still hadn't changed his mind, Zhang Dongyue had no choice but to leave.
For Tang Yin's stubbornness, he hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.
He has personally recruited many talents, and he has naturally succeeded a lot, but no one has rejected him many times in a row like Tang Yin.
"Xiao Tang, I have an old customer here, he has a ambergris wrench in his hand to transfer, I don't know if you are interested?" Not long after Zhang Dongyue left, Tang Yin received a call from Master Feng.
"Ambergris is a good thing, why don't you keep it yourself?"
"The other party's asking price is very high!" Master Feng's voice was slightly bitter.
Tang Yin immediately understood that Master Feng couldn't afford to pay for it.
Although Master Feng is a very famous antique appraiser, his fame is not directly related to his strength, and his ability to appreciate is limited.
Not only is it incomparable to a freak like Tang Yin, but it is also much worse than some masters in the antique circle.
Even if he can get the labor fee of the program team, it will definitely not be too high, so the cash on hand is limited.
Ambergris is so precious that it is usually priced in grams, which is several times the price of gold under normal circumstances, and the price will rise in the future.
And ambergris is not only rare, but also has high medicinal value and physical fitness value, so Tang Yin is also very interested.
At the agreed place, Tang Yin soon came to a private room.
There were three people in the private room, Master Feng, and a pot-bellied man, who looked like he was in his forties, but his expression was a little haggard, and another young man was standing, obviously a secretary's assistant.
"Xiao Tang, come, let me introduce you, this is Boss Gong, a famous tycoon in the business world, and this is Tang Yin, the master of antique appraisal!"
After the two said hello briefly, Boss Gong spoke.
"Mr. Tang, I heard that you are a master of Jinling, how about you take a look at my wrench?" Boss Gong looked a little anxious, and directly took the wrench on his thumb.
The white wrench that runs Yurun is a good jade at first glance.
But after Tang Yin picked it up, he found that it was not white jade at all, but ambergris, white ambergris.
Not pure white, but milky white color.
Ambergris, also known as grey amber in the West, is the secretion of sperm whales, and after being excluded from the body, the color gradually changes from gray to light under the action of the natural environment in the sea, although it rarely reaches the realm of white.
Great stuff!
Tang Yin took a closer look, and his eyes couldn't take his eyes off.
Ambergris, which can reach milky white, can be called the best in ambergris, and there is a poem engraved on the inside of ambergris, and there is a paragraph below.
"With such a precious wrench, how could you think of transferging?" Tang Yin put the wrench on the table after knowing it.
"Do you see it's precious?" Boss Gong was a little surprised.
"Do you think I can't see it?"
"Sure enough, when I first identified this wrench, I consulted five appraisal masters successively, and finally got a definite answer!" Boss Gong sighed.
looked Tang Yin up and down, as if he hadn't looked carefully just now.
"Please forgive me for saying that such a precious Qianlong royal wrench, and it is made of the top-quality ambergris, it can be said to be unique, once you make a move, I am afraid that you will never have a chance to buy it back in this life!" Tang Yin saw the payment just now, which was Qianlong's payment.
Of course, it can't be carved by Emperor Qianlong himself, but he inscribed the poem and then asked the top craftsmen to engrave it.
The material is the top ambergris, coupled with the emperor's royal use, so that the value of this wrench can no longer be limited to ambergris, nor can it be limited to ordinary antiques.
"Hey, no way, you know there is a casino on the cruise ship, right?" Boss Gong sighed, looking very helpless.
"Of course!" Tang Yin not only knew that there were casinos on cruise ships, but also knew that a considerable part of the income on cruise ships came from casinos.
There are even many tourists who board the cruise ship with the intention of either relaxing or rushing to the casino on the cruise ship.
The banner they are carrying is to gamble a lot, and gamble a lot.
However, in Tang Yin's view, gambling, no matter how big or small, must not be touched, otherwise once it cannot be controlled, the family will be ruined.
And those who swore that they could control it, who were just playing a few tricks, most of them ended up trapping.
He suddenly had a guess, could it be that Boss Gong was the same?
"Hey, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to people's persuasion at the beginning, I just wanted to go in and see what to know, just play a few games, but I didn't expect it, hey, don't say it, it's hard to say, in short, when I came out, I still owe the casino 50 million!" Boss Gong sighed.
"With your strength, it's not a problem to make up half a billion, right?"
"It's not a problem, the problem is that once half a billion cash is withdrawn, it will cause a tight cash flow in my industry, and it is easy to have problems!" Boss Gong continued.
Tang Yin nodded, any enterprise needs cash flow, once the cash flow is gone, causing the capital chain to break, it will cause the enterprise to go bankrupt.
Therefore, the company must guarantee a certain percentage of cash flow on the books to ensure the normal operation of the company.
"How much do you want to sell?" Tang Yin didn't plan to ask in detail, as long as the ambergris wrench was fine.
And after his identification, the wrench is indeed fine.
"One hundred million!" Boss Gong spoke.
Hearing the offer of 100 million, Tang Yin shook his head with a smile.
Although ambergris is very expensive, and it is the imperial product of Emperor Qianlong, the price can be doubled, but after all, the wrench is only a small piece, and no matter how precious the market is, it cannot reach 100 million.
Moreover, the ambergris in front of you is as white as jade, which is the top ambergris, which brings great difficulty to identification.
Because the vast majority of ambergris is not as white as jade, it is easy to suspect that it is a forgery.
"Ninety million, it can't be less, after all, you are also an appraiser, you know its value!" Seeing Tang Yin shaking his head, Boss Gong hesitated slightly and offered another price.
The reduction is quite large, but Tang Yin is still not satisfied.
"How much can you give?" Boss Gong was obviously a little anxious.
"If you want to sell for a high price, you might as well wait until you leave the cruise ship and take it to a big auction, maybe you can reach the price you want!" Tang Yin did not say how much he was willing to give.
"Hey, I've been restricted by them, I can't leave the cruise ship until all the gambling debts are paid off!" Boss Gong said helplessly.
The person behind the casino is not ordinary, he never thought about repaying the debt, because he can't rely on it at all, otherwise there is only a dead end.
"You know that we are in the antique industry, we buy low and sell high, low in and high out, it must be lower than the market price, I can't accept the price you offer, 30 million!" Tang Yin offered a price.
According to his estimates, the market price of the royal ambergris wrench should be around 50 million at present.
According to the rules of the antique industry, since the market price is 50 million, it must be lowered when it is acquired.
"No, it's too low, I owe nearly 40 million to the casino, and I don't have a second ambergris wrench to exchange for money!" As soon as he heard that Tang Yin was only willing to give 30 million, Boss Gong quit on the spot.
He is also a shrewd person, and before he was about to sell it to Tang Nian, he had already asked someone to evaluate the market price of the wrench.
It was 20 million lower than the assessed market price, the loss was too great, and it was not enough to pay off the gambling debts, of course he was unwilling.
Master Feng watched from the sidelines, his heart sour.
Ambergris also wants it, the problem is that Boss Gong's asking price is too high, if he exhausts all his assets, there is hope to buy it at that time.
The problem is that once he buys it, in the case of huge expenditures, he is afraid that he will have to live a few years of steamed buns with pickles and boiled water.
He is very envious of Tang Yin, he has a pair of fiery eyes, as long as he goes to the antique market, the wealth will roll in.
And although he also has a certain eyesight, it is very good for him to go around the antique market and pick up a small leak of several thousand yuan.
After all, a large part of the reason why he can become Master Feng is that he is deliberately hyped up by the needs of the program team, and the actual identification skills are not top in the industry.
"How much do you owe?" asked Tang Yin.
"Forty-nine million!"
"Fifty million, one million more, let you keep a little defense!" After learning how much Boss Gong's debt was, Tang Yin offered a price again.
The price he is now offering is basically equal to the market price.
Of course, antiques are getting hotter and hotter nowadays, as long as you hold it in your hands for a few years, it is absolutely no problem to make money like this precious and unique antique, the question is just how much you can earn.
"Can't it go up a little more?" Boss Gong was still a little dissatisfied.
"Only less, not more!" Tang Yin shook his head.
Although he likes ambergris very much, it doesn't mean that it must be.
Before it was decided, Boss Gong's phone rang.
"Boss Gong, we agreed yesterday to give you a day to raise money, and now that the time is almost up, when will you come over to repay the loan?" Tang Yin's keen ears heard that Boss Gong was being called for debts on the phone.
Apparently someone from the casino side is urging him to pay off his gambling debts.
"A little later, I promise to pay it back on time!" Boss Gong's face was a little ugly, and the debt collector was too polite.
The problem is that he is on a cruise ship, not on his own territory, and there is no way to be called for debts, so he can only find a way to make it up as soon as possible.
