Chapter 553: As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one
Fang Zuiyun just made a phone call, and a few minutes later, someone brought up the FabergΓ© Easter egg and put it on Fang Zuiyun's desk.
"It's so beautiful...... Zhou Shaoguang took out a magnifying glass from his carry-on bag, almost clinging to the laurel egg, and carefully looked back and forth several times: "It's not a famous masterpiece, no matter how you look at it, it's a top work of art." β
Fang Zuiyun smiled: "I also like it very much." β
"Why don't you let it go to me. Zhou Shaoguang put away the magnifying glass and asked very seriously: "Three million Huaxia coins, how about it?"
The price given by Zhou Shaoguang is not high, and the original valuation of the market is almost like this, but Ren Xia bought it for a lot of money, and of course Fang Zuiyun can't sell it: "I'm sorry, I can't cut my love." β
Zhou Shaoguang raised the price: "Five million." β
"It's not about money. Fang Zuiyun told Zhou Shaoguang: "Shengshi Jewelry Collection has a lot of precious artworks, this is not to appreciate the sale, but to create our corporate atmosphere, I personally like to collect very much, especially this laurel egg won my heart, so I really can't sell it." β
"Okay, I'll give the price to the high ......" Zhou Shaoguang made a gesture: "Eight million." β
Fang Zuiyun was a little moved, but still refused: "Ten million can't be sold." β
At this time, Zhou Shaoguang was a little hesitant, and he could see that Fang Zuiyun was a little moved, if he continued to increase the price, maybe Fang Zuiyun would agree to the transfer. However, the price must be at least more than 10 million, and for Zhou Shaoguang, it is a big question whether it is worth spending so much money on this thing. Zhou Shaoguang suspected that there were some secrets of the blood dragon hidden in this easter egg, but it was only a suspicion, and there was no conclusive evidence. In fact, Zhou Shaoguang didn't have any interest in the so-called easter egg artwork, so he finally decided not to increase the price: "Okay, it seems that Boss Fang really likes this easter egg, so I won't win people's love." β
Fang Zuiyun smiled and nodded: "Thank you for understanding." β
"But I have a question...... Zhou Shaoguang carefully observed Fang Zuiyun's expression, and then slowly asked: "How did you get this easter egg?"
"By auction, of course. β
"Not necessarily. Zhou Shaoguang smiled and shook his head: "As far as I know, on the day of the auction, the real buyer of this easter egg was an institution called Hecker Investment, so I wonder why this easter egg ended up in your hands." β
It must be noted here that if the seller does not agree to the auction house, especially the auction of high-end artworks, the auction house will never disclose the seller's information. Therefore, when I read the news, there are often reports that a certain art item is bought by an "unknown collector" at a sky-high price, mainly because there are too many black boxes and cats around art auctions, such as the money laundering mentioned earlier.
Of course, if the seller is willing to be in the limelight and wants others to know, then the auction house will cooperate. After the transaction, the buyer can come out generously and talk about how much he likes such things in front of the media camera.
Ren Xia is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, and the whole process of participating in the auction is kept secret. Fang Zuiyun could think with his toes that there must be something hidden in this easter egg, and of course Ren Xia didn't want to be noticed. However, Zhou Shaoguang still said the name of "Heke Investment", this information must have been obtained through abnormal means, and Zhou Shaoguang had done a full investigation before coming here.
Fortunately, Ren Xia participated in the auction in the name of the company "Heke Investment" at that time, not his own personal name, obviously Zhou Shaoguang did not find the name "Ren Xia".
So how did Zhou Shaoguang know that the laurel eggs were in the prosperous jewelry store?
It is not surprising that a high-end consumer enterprise like Shengshi Jewelry has spared no effort in building its corporate image, and has invested very much, often shooting various advertisements and brochures and presenting them on street billboards or TV and self-media platforms. In order to create a high-end corporate image, Fang Zuiyun also often displays the various collections owned by Shengshi Jewelry, do you think so, a jewelry store with countless precious collections, will there be a problem with the jewelry sold? Fang Zuiyun asked for this laurel egg originally to decorate the faΓ§ade, so in various brochures and advertisements, the appearance rate is very high.
Fang Zuiyun looked at Zhou Shaoguang and said indifferently: "Because I like this easter egg very much, I was auctioned away by others at that time, and I was unwilling, so I found the other party and bought it at a high price." β
"As far as I know, at the time of the auction, Boss Fang, you were present, since you liked this easter egg very much, why didn't you bid with the other party at that time?"
"Women, often have this kind of mentality, when they first see something, they don't like it very much. But when this thing is in the hands of others, it is beyond remorse......" After a pause, Fang Zuiyun said again: "At the beginning, I didn't particularly like this easter egg, but after being auctioned away by others, the more I thought about it, the more I liked it, so I would rather buy it back at a high price." β
"I'm also a woman, of course I can understand this kind of psychology...... Zhou Shaoguang nodded with a smile, and asked again: "So Boss Fang has a certain amount of contact with Heke Investment?"
"It's just business contact, that is, for this laurel egg, I don't know much about this company, and I haven't been in contact with the laurel egg after the sale. β
"Who is the owner of this business?"
"I don't have any comment on that. When Fang Zuiyun said this, he put away his smile: "Ms. Zhou, we are businessmen, and many details are trade secrets, so I can't tell you." Besides, I don't really know anything, so it's useless for you to ask me. β
Zhou Shaoguang wanted to say something again: "But ......"
"It was a pleasure to meet Ms. Zhou. Fang Zuiyun interrupted Zhou Shaoguang's words: "I'm sorry, I have a lot of work here, otherwise we will exchange contact information and talk in detail when we have time?"
Fang Zuiyun's words were simply an eviction order, Zhou Shaoguang was naturally interested, nodded with a smile, and after exchanging contact information with Fang Zuiyun, he got up and said goodbye.
Fang Zuiyun personally sent Zhou Shaoguang away, and after returning to his office, he immediately called Ren Xia: "Do you know a woman named Zhou Shaoguang?"
Ren Xia shook his head: "I don't know." β
"Someone introduced me to a friend just now, her name is Zhou Shaoguang, after she came, she asked to see the laurel egg by name......" Fang Zuiyun recounted the incident, and said: "I think this Zhou Shaoguang is very abnormal, I want to inquire about this easter egg." And I can see that what she is really interested in is not the easter eggs themselves, when she looks at the laurel eggs with a magnifying glass, she is a layman when she looks at the action, and she neither understands the mystery of the easter eggs, nor how to appreciate them. β
As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, and when Zhou Shaoguang just took out the magnifying glass, Fang Zuiyun concluded through detailed movements that this person was a layman at all for artworks.
