Chapter 35 Wisdom in Urgency
Tang Feng looked at the Buddha statue on the booth again, this Buddha statue has a slightly larger head, a slightly shorter body, a screw-shaped bun, a plump and square face, the whole is full and strong, and the robe on the body has bulging circular rope-like lines. Judging from the appearance, the quality of this Buddha statue is not excellent, the flaws are obvious, according to the current market situation, the value is about 250,000, and there is a rising trend, there is a certain collection value. But this Buddha statue is extremely deceptive, and Tang Feng is completely sure that many people present will not see its true value. It's just that the reserve price of 150,000 yuan is not the transaction price, even if others don't see its true value, it may be snatched from Tang Feng's hands. If this is the case, others are blind cats who encounter dead rats, but Tang Feng wants to watch the cooked duck fly away.
The two walked out of the courtyard together, and now Tang Feng has 200,000 around him, and Chen Yan only has 40,000 around him, even if Chen Yan is willing to borrow it, 240,000 yuan will not be able to take down this Buddha statue. The worst thing is that the evening show of the underground black market is still two hours away, and even if Tang Feng can think of a way, it may not be in time.
At this time, Tang Feng suddenly thought of the Ming Dynasty twists and turns around him, if he could find a way to sell this thing, then the difficulties in front of him would be solved. He immediately asked Chen Yan, "How far is the nearest antique trading market from here?"
Chen Yan said without thinking: "Tianjin Ancient Culture Street, more than forty kilometers away from here, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"
"Get in the car!" Tang Feng said, "Send me there as quickly as possible." ”
"Hey, what's the matter, talk to ......" Tang Feng didn't wait for Chen Yan to speak, dragged him and ran out, he said as he ran: "Explain to you on the way." ”
On the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway, Alto savagely occupies the fast lane, and a large Mercedes-Benz BMW behind him keeps honking the horn.
Alto was driving at a rapid pace, the body was shaking very much, Tang Feng, who had already explained the situation to Chen Yan, looked back at the car behind him, and urged: "Big brother, are you faster?"
"Do I call you Uncle Cheng?" Chen Yan said helplessly: "Do you think I'm driving a tank, this is Alto, it's already floating like this, no matter how fast it is, it can't fall apart immediately?"
Alto has really reached the limit, and when he arrived at Tianjin Ancient Culture Street, Tang Feng looked at the time, and wandered for almost half an hour, what kind of broken car, the ancient people rode horses faster than it.
Tianjin Ancient Culture Street is located in Tianjin Haihe Square Jintang Bridge, the whole street is 580 meters long, the overall building is imitation of the Qing folk architectural style, Tianhou Temple is located in the center of the whole street. At this moment, Tang Feng and Chen Yan were standing opposite one of the most famous antique shops in Tianjin, Cuiwenzhai store.
"Hey, I hope I can buy it for a good price. When Tang Feng said this, he was not confident, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't sell it at a good price.
Although the history of Tianjin Ancient Culture Street is not long, there are several time-honored antique shops on the street, and Cuiwenzhai is one of them, and the layout inside is very similar to that of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the 80s. Tang Feng walked in the door, and an old man wearing reading glasses stepped forward enthusiastically and asked, "What does this gentleman need?"
Tang Feng didn't have time to get close to him, he asked bluntly, "Do you buy cultural relics here?"
"Collect, definitely accept, as long as your things are good things that have been found on the right way. The old man agreed, and then asked Tang Fengdao, "Did you bring anything?"
Tang Feng took out the fold from his bag and handed it to the old man, the old man took it, slowly returned to the desk and sat down, then slowly took off his glasses, and then took out the magnifying glass in his pocket and began to carefully inspect the goods.
Looking at the old man's slow swallowing appearance, Tang Feng was in a hurry, the old man looked at it for a few minutes, looked up at Tang Feng, and said: "Yes, this Zhu Pi is indeed the true work of Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong, the twists and turns of Yongle Year." "Tang Feng knew that he had met an expert, and the old man of their family said that the Tang family's method of looking at antiques was to find a different way and not enter the mainstream. If the tomb robber's treasure appreciation skills are somewhat crooked, then this old man is a decent man, and he is the final confirmation from his handwriting.
Tang Feng was most nervous about time, and he immediately asked, "How much can this thing sell for?"
The old man laughed and said, "Young man, you have only been in the industry for a short time, right? ”
Tang Feng still laughed at Chen Yanxi in his heart, and he was also messed up at the critical moment, no wonder the old man of their family used to say that he was too tender, the baby looked at the child, the horse looked at the hooves and paws, or the old man had a vision. But how can Tang Feng be blamed, he is essentially a very simple peasant, although his honest smile is very deceptive, but this is by no means a disguise, but a matter of nature. The problem is that he has a tomb robber grandfather who has been running the rivers and lakes for a long time, in order to let Tang Feng contact the society in the future without suffering, his grandfather insisted on instilling those messy rivers and lakes experience into him. But these are just theories, Tang Feng has no practical experience, and he still knows how to apply flexibly to people like Jiang Yuan, and once it comes to a critical moment, he will immediately show his feet. The silly boy scratched his head embarrassedly, and said a little: "Hey, I don't think your old man is the one who took the opportunity to lower the price, so I said that." ”
The old man said with a smile: "I remind you not because I am kind, but because we are a state-owned enterprise, and the purchase price is standard, not empty nonsense." Then, he took out a copy of the pricing standards for antiques acquired by the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics from the drawer, flipped to one of the pages and said: "According to the condition, I will give you the highest standard, 30,000 yuan, what do you think?"
30,000 yuan? Tang Feng couldn't help but shake his head, this price is lower than the market price, how can a private acquisition have to be 35,000 yuan, if you can be patient and fool around, 40,000 yuan is not a big problem. He said, "I really can't accept your price. ”
"I can understand what you think, after all, the purchase price of the state cannot be compared with that of private individuals, but we have our system, and I can't help it, alas......" The old man sighed, and then said: "So our country's cultural relics are losing a lot." ”
Tang Feng said helplessly: "Then forget it." ”
The old man was a little reluctant to return the fold to Tang Feng, and Tang Feng took the fold and turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, young man!" cried the old man from behind.
Tang Feng turned his head and asked, "Is there anything else to do, uncle?"
The old man said earnestly: "After all, we are a state-owned enterprise, and selling to us is equivalent to selling to the state, do you want to think about it again?"
If the current Tang Feng is rich and rivals the country, he may be able to consider the issue of enlightenment, but with his current situation of the mud bodhisattva crossing the river and burning his eyebrows, he is really not worthy of talking about these high wind and bright festivals. Looking at this old man, Tang Feng couldn't bear to say it directly, he lied and said: "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to contribute to the country, but because I urgently need money now, and there is really no way." ”
"Hey, that's it!" the old man said: "I see that you are also an honest man, walking from here, there is a Zhu Ji auction house across three roads, you go over there and ask, you should be able to sell it for a good price if you take it to auction." ”
Tang Feng secretly called my mother, when is this, I still have to get that bullshit Zhu Ji auction house to auction, this bullshit Zhu ...... Tang Feng's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Uncle, is the owner of Zhu Ji Auction House surnamed Zhu?"
The old man didn't expect Tang Feng to ask this, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Thank you, big ......" Tang Feng's voice disappeared before the person disappeared, this fold is from the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is surnamed Zhu, take the fold of the Ming Dynasty and sell it to the person surnamed Zhu, and then open a high price......
