Chapter 1009: The Antique Business!

Mountbatten was ridiculed by Jenna in person, but he didn't see any anger, but looked at Jenna with a smile, showing a look of appreciation:

"Miss Renna, I have long heard that you are beautiful and moving, but I didn't expect you to have a more straightforward personality than the legend, if you like to play water sports, I can take you to the sea to see, it just so happened that I just bought a small boat. ”

Duke Mountbatten's romance is as famous as his absurd deeds, in the face of this duke's overture, Ren Na couldn't help frowning, looked at Su Huai, and said in a low voice: "Su nerd, you still don't speak!?Everyone is teasing your woman on the spot!!"

Su Huai was speechless for a moment: "You...... When will you become my woman......"

"I'm standing behind you right now, it's the woman behind you, 'your woman' for short!

Although Su Huai was speechless, he didn't like this second generation of Mountbatten, so he pretended to be forced in front of him, pointed to the photo and asked, "Duke Mountbatten, what do you mean by taking out this thing?"

"Actually, I don't know why this kind of thing is rare. Mountbatten was full of indifference, and said with a pout:

"It's just that the number of porcelain in our museum is extremely rare, and I heard that this is ......," he said, with an expression of hard thinking.

Fermat, the consultant next to him, reminded softly: "Jun porcelain ......"

"Yes, this Jun porcelain is even rarer, and the ones with character stories on it are rare among the rare......" Mountbatten said, looking at Su Huai very sincerely:

"I just heard what Mr. Su said, I know that the whole country of China is united, in order to maintain the dignity of the country, you can pay any price, presumably this cultural relics are very important to you, so I thought, such a rare thing, it's useless for us to keep it, it's better to sell it to you Chinese people, let it recognize its ancestors and return to its ancestors, what does Mr. Su think?"

When the Sumen disciples next to him heard this, they clenched their fists, the anger in their chests rose, and they didn't rush forward and punched Duke Mountbatten in the face, even Director Ouyang was a little angry, and asked in a deep voice:

"Duke Mountbatten, what exactly do you want to do, you might as well have something to say. ”

The old Marlon behind the Duke of Mountbatten cleared his throat and said: "The Duke means that at the Lantern Festival that will start soon, an auction ceremony will be held to return some rare Chinese cultural relics kept by Sotheby's Group to the Chinese ......."

"Let's use the money to buy back the artifacts you stole from us!?Are you treating us as idiots!?" Ren Na was furious, and raised her hand to "snap" and slammed the table.

"I didn't expect it, Miss Renna, you are still so beautiful and moving when you start the fire~ This is fascinating. Mountbatten looked at Renna very intoxicated, but there was a cold taste in his laughter:

"I just put this thing up for auction, and I didn't force anyone to pay a high price to buy it back, can you not bid and let other fools fall for it?"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and Renna said angrily: "Do you underestimate me? Although my Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce does not have the financial resources of your Sotheby's, I can still afford the cultural relics of my own country!"

"Oh?" Mountbatten seemed to be a little worried, and sighed: "That's not necessarily, I've heard that many European and American collectors have been collecting Chinese cultural relics from the Yue Dynasty recently, and the birth of this porcelain is just afraid that it will arouse a lot of interest." ”

"Really, I want to see who has the ability to ...... with me" Ren Na sneered, but suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and it turned out that Su Huai had "snapped" the folding fan in front of her face, interrupting her words.

Ren Na glared at Su Huai and asked with her eyes, What are you doing!? This Mountbatten has bullied us!

"President Renna, don't be angry, I dare to say that no matter how much you bid this time, you won't be able to shoot this ...... of "Three Visits to Thatched House Jars"" Su Huai said lightly.

"How come?" Ren Na was slightly stunned, and everyone was also full of doubts, Sotheby's showed this "Three Visits to the Thatched House Jar", wasn't it just to make a fortune from the auction?

Su Huai glanced at Mountbatten and told a story in a flat tone;

"I heard that in a hundred years, there was a painter named Van Gogh in New Europe, who was poor and couldn't sell a single painting, but after his death, some collectors took action and bought out all his paintings for 500,000 yuan. The auctioneers' prices are much higher than market estimates......"

Cuicui's eyes widened, and she asked strangely, "Hey, since their auction price is much higher than the market price, will anyone be foolish to buy it?"

Su Huai smiled at Cuicui: "Good question, of course no one was fooled at the beginning, so they made a game, several collectors, colluded with each other, bought each other, you paid 1 million and I bought it, and the second pair of you paid 2 million for another person to buy, in fact, it just changed hands...... Anyway, the commission is also earned by the auction house itself. ”

Cuicui suddenly realized and said in surprise:

"That is to say, if they act like this, keep turning their left hand to their right hand, Van Gogh's paintings will rise, and slowly, everyone thinks that Van Gogh's paintings are worth so much money!?

Su Huai patted the fan and looked at Mountbatten on the bench lightly:

"In fact, although the art has a certain value, it is not as high as people imagine, and it can be sold for millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, because antique dealers are speculating on the entire market, accompanied by various topics, so that the auction price continues to rise, and then through this typical price raising method, they can get huge profits from it~"

Although Su Huai didn't know how much money Sotheby's wanted to speculate in this "Three Visits to the Thatched House Jar", he had heard a similar news in the original time and space.

There is a piece of blue and white porcelain called "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, which was sold by the British antique dealer Eskenazi in 2005 for 14 million pounds based on the myth of the auction world at that time.

This price, after adding commission, was 15.688 million pounds, equivalent to about 230 million yuan, setting a record for the highest auction of Chinese art in the world at that time.

This incident also triggered a sharp appreciation in the value of other blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty!

Obviously, for Sotheby's Group, which collects tens of thousands of Chinese cultural relics, they chose to auction at the Lantern Festival this time, not just to make money on a cultural relic, but to heat up the Chinese cultural relics market.

When Renna heard this, she realized that she was almost fooled, and glared at Mountbatten angrily and said:

"The Duke is really smart, now that the Spring Festival has become an international festival, Chinese culture will definitely be popular again after today's Spring Festival Gala, this is the best time for you to make money, in the legal business, there is nothing more profitable than this antique cultural relics industry!"

"No~~" Duke Mountbatten shook his head unexpectedly, narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Mr. Su is not right, it is not the best time for me to make money, but the best time for us to make money together. ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at himself and Su Huai......
