Chapter 42: Three Hundred Million
For a while, everyone's eyes in the room were focused on the shopkeeper Lu, and the rest of the people also wanted to know its market value for this Wang Shizhen "Xiangzu Notebook", which the three of them called a national treasure.
Qin Xuanbing and Lei Lei are out of curiosity, Xu Wei is naturally jealous, eager to burn this broken book with a fire, Liu Chuan hopes that this thing is as expensive as possible, he is also happy to see his brother making money, as for Zhuang Rui, he is also a little nervous now, although he has just finished saying beautiful words, but no one will get along with money, and no one will think that he has a lot of money, not to mention that Zhuang Rui is just a small white-collar worker.
Shopkeeper Lu pondered for a long time, then gently picked up the manuscript and looked at it, and after a while before he spoke: "This Wang Shizhen's "Xiangzu Notes and Manual" has been inherited in an orderly manner, and the style is distinct, and it can be determined that it is genuine, and at an auction in Hong Kong last year, Wang Shizhen's "Caigentang Poetry Collection Preface" was auctioned for seven pages, and the transaction price at that time was 1.18 million Hong Kong dollars.
"How much? 1,180,000 wood, Hong Kong dollars or RMB, I haven't used that thing......"
Before Old Man Lu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Chuan, he had worked hard for several years, but he had saved hundreds of thousands of net worth, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that the broken book in front of him could be worth millions.
"You kid don't interject, stay and ......"
Old Man Lu glared at Liu Chuan angrily, and continued: "The content of this manuscript of Xiaozhuang is slightly different from Wang Shizhen's "Xiangzu Notes" published in the past dynasties, and I believe that it will play a great role in the study of Wang Shizhen's life and deeds and the social form at that time, and its value is undoubtedly more important than the handwriting of Wang Shizhen's "Preface to Caigentang Poems" auctioned in Hong Kong.
And in the manuscript is attached to nine twenty-one poems written by Wang Shizhen himself, and more importantly, on each manuscript of poetry, there is Wang Shizhen's bell seal, which is precious, so that these manuscripts of poetry can be taken out separately for auction, and the price is expensive.
The market of Wang Shizhen's handwriting in China is slightly lower than that in the international market, and if you two have to ask me to estimate it, I think it is more appropriate to set the price of this manuscript at between 3 million and 3.8 million.
Of course, if the manuscript is sent to the auction house and enters the auction process, the price may be more than four million, but excluding some publicity costs and auction fees extracted by the auction house, it is not much different from the price I said, and the old man is still sure of this. ”
"3.8 million !!"
After hearing this number from the mouth of Old Man Lu, Zhuang Rui's mind exploded, and he didn't hear the words behind Old Man Lu, you know, after Zhuang Rui graduated from university, he worked hard for almost 2 years, and now it is only more than 3,000 yuan a month, which is about 30,000 yuan a year, what is the concept of 3.8 million, it takes Zhuang Rui to work for 120 years without eating or drinking.
Since picking up this manuscript in Liu Chuan's shop, Zhuang Rui's mentality has always been good, his bottom line at the beginning of this manuscript is that it doesn't matter if he loses some money, anyway, the aura in his eyes has been replenished, and he has benefited, and later returned home to inquire about Wang Shizhen's life, Zhuang Rui's mind has changed, and it is estimated that if this manuscript is Wang Shizhen's handwriting, he should not lose money, and maybe he can make a small profit.
Just now, when Mr. Lu said the price of Wang Shizhen's handwriting auctioned in Hong Kong, Zhuang Rui was also taken aback, but he felt that his manuscript was more damaged, and he was very satisfied if he could sell it for three or five hundred thousand, and he was not particularly excited about the 150,000 yuan that sold Sanhe Liu Hulu yesterday.
"Then three million eight million, this number is auspicious, Brother Zhuang, let's make a transfer agreement, I will write you a check immediately, what do you think?"
Song Jun's loud voice rang out, most of his collections are calligraphy and paintings, he is also a clear door for the market price of this kind of antiques, the price offered by Mr. Lu may be a little low in the auction house, but it is to remove some expensive publicity expenses and also have to pay taxes, in private transfers, 3.8 million is a more suitable price for both buyers and sellers, and a lot of expenses can be saved.
Some friends may say, you are not tax evasion, but in many industries, this kind of behavior is widespread, especially when collectors in the collecting world communicate with each other, this phenomenon is extremely normal, because the current national quality is not so high, and the money from private transactions is used to file taxes.
"Xiaozhuang, Xiaozhuang, what's the matter, don't you think you're satisfied with the price?"
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was just silent and didn't answer his words, Song Jun shouted twice with an inquiring tone.
Zhuang Rui was awakened by Song Jun's words, and replied casually in a daze: "Satisfied, satisfied, but I didn't expect this manuscript to be so precious, I wonder if I kept it for myself." ”
"Don't mind, you can promise to give it to my brother, if you are not satisfied with the price, we will discuss ......"
Song Jun was a little anxious when he heard this, it was a sure thing, it was difficult to make a soup.
"Hehe, no, Brother Song, I just thought so in my heart, if people don't have faith, they won't stand, and I will never regret what I promised. ”
Zhuang Rui actually really had that idea in his heart, but he really just thought about it in his heart, compared to the future appreciation of this manuscript, Zhuang Rui still felt more at ease to put 3.8 million in his pocket, as for raising the price, he didn't consider it at all, because when he worked in the pawn shop, he also had a lot of contact with the auction house, and knew that even if the manuscript was auctioned for 5 million, excluding the auction house's 15% commission and taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, he might not have 3.8 million yuan in his hand.
"You kid, don't bring such a scary, brother, I have a bad heart. ”
Song Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and while joking with Zhuang Rui, he waved his hand and beckoned a waiter, and asked her to call a man who looked like a manager, and roughly said that the amount of the transfer manuscript and some matters that need to be paid attention to, and let the person go through the transfer agreement.
That is, in ten minutes, the manager returned to the box, holding two printed transfer agreements in his hands, and handed them to Song Jun, who glanced at them roughly and handed them to Zhuang Rui.
Three or five million is nothing in Song Jun's eyes, the reason why he drafted such a transfer agreement is just because of his habit of doing business, which can well avoid some troubles in the future, if he doesn't bring it up, Zhuang Rui will definitely not think of signing such a thing.
Zhuang Rui didn't dare to be as casual as Song Jun, took the paper agreement and looked at it carefully, in fact, this agreement is very simple, it is the content of a piece of paper, after handwriting the transferred items and amounts, both parties sign, even if it is over, and antiques, if the agreement is signed, it means that the thing has been identified by the buyer, and there is no need for the seller to issue any appraisal.
And some people go to the antique shop to buy antiques, if they buy antiques with appraisal certificates, take them back and find that they have been deceived, they can smash the signboard of the antique shop, so the so-called Kangxi's toothpicks sold in the antique shop, Qianlong's toilet, no one will issue you an appraisal certificate, which is also the reason why most of the antique shops placed outside are some fakes, and the real transactions are carried out in private.
