Chapter 299: Drink some red wine to relax the atmosphere

Zheng Xudong said that if I use the Kangxi saber to cut the monk's knife of Shuzhumaru Hengji, who do you say will be cut off?

Inoue Seito, a Japanese benzene expert, immediately stood up, and pointed at Zheng Xudong with his hand so angry that he couldn't speak, he knew how the saber of a monk in his country could be compared with the saber of the emperor of the Shengshi Dynasty, the probability of being cut off was greater than ninety-nine, and the remaining one percent might still be cut off, but it would cause damage to Kangxi's saber. No matter what the outcome, he didn't dare to gamble.

Ma Weidu, who was relatively calm just now, also stood up and looked at Zheng Xudong angrily.

At this time, experts from the United States, France and Italy also stood up and said in unison: "NO!"

Only the old man Song Yikuan did not move on the table, looking at him calmly. When the others saw that Song Lao didn't move, they all knew that they were too concerned, and they all sat down.

"Isn't Old Song worried?" asked Zheng Xudong.

"I'm sure kids don't do such boring things. Not to mention the damage to two national treasures, but also the loss of money, do you say?" said Song Lao's eyes half-open and half-closed.

"Hah... Or Song Lao understands me. Zheng Xudong turned his head to Ou Zhaolun and said, "President, can you give two packs of printer paper?"

Soon Ou Zhaolun's secretary brought over two packs of A4 printer paper, and Zheng Xudong put the two packets of paper on the corner of the table that had been cut just now. Everyone could see that he wanted to try the sharpness of this Kangxi treasure knife.

The people present only saw Zheng Xudong's hand, and then there was a residual image of the knife, and finally saw that the knife was still in his hand, as if it had never been moved.

The six experts on the table and Ou Zhaolun, Sean saw two packs of printer paper and a thousand sheets, and a piece of the corner of the table fell to the ground.

"Good knife!" Ma Weidu said to Song Lao.

"It's only in your hand that you are willing to try the knife like this, if this knife enters the museum, no one will dare to try the knife like this. Ma Weidu added.

Several other experts clapped their hands and praised the sharpness of the knife in their own language.

"Okay! We've just talked about some heavy topics, now let's take it easy. As he spoke, he took out the ten bottles of red wine in the box, which was a very small part of the wine he had salvaged in the Baltic Sea, and he knew from his childhood that it was a 200-year-old red wine, but he didn't need the affirmation of these experts?

After the red wine was placed on the table, he said: "This is what I got during an underwater dive, and I took ten bottles out for everyone to evaluate, anyway, I look like it's some vintage." He turned his head to look at President Ou Zhaolun again, "Your Excellency, how about providing wine glasses and cigars, everyone has said that you are a little thirsty for so long, aren't you thirsty?"

"OF COURSE, GOOD WINE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, HOW CAN YOU MISS IT?!" OU ZHAOLUN GLANCED AT JANE, THE SECRETARY NEXT TO HIM.

At this time, Jean-Gabriel Lelouch, a French expert, took the wine bottle in his hand and exclaimed after a closer look: "OH MY GOD!" Although the other experts present looked at the red wine in their hands, after all, the interlacing is like a mountain, and not everyone is good at identifying red wine. So when I heard Leluch exclaim, I looked at him and listened to him continue: "This is a red wine made during the French Revolution in 1780, a full 230 years ago. I remember mentioning this batch of red wine in the book, which was a gift from the French Emperor Louis XVI to the Russian Tsar Peter the Great. He just wanted to say, but when he saw Zheng Xudong staring at him, he quickly changed his words and said: "At that time, I heard that the ship transporting this batch of wine sank, and this batch of wine has never been found again. Mr. Zheng, you are really lucky to be able to find this batch of red wine, I wonder how it tastes after 230 years of seabed sealing, and whether you can still drink it?"

Zheng Xudong looked at this person and was quite sensible, if he said the quantity of this batch of wine, it would be worthless, the less the more valuable the truth, everyone in this room understands, it seems that he will have to give him a bottle of wine as a thank you gift for a while, and also block his broken mouth, "Since Mr. Le Luxu wants to know if the wine can be drunk, let's open two bottles and taste it, don't you know!"

Everyone heard that he was going to open and drink such a precious wine, and he also opened two bottles to drink, both happy and applauded for his boldness (loser), Ma Weidu said directly: "Xiao Zheng is angry enough (Beijing dialect, which means enough buddy righteousness. It is also described as a righteous person, who speaks and does things in accordance with the rules and does not cheat, and is neither afraid of his own losses when working with others, nor does he bully others. )!”

Old man Song Yikuan was still silent, and Inoue Makoto said "Yo Xi!"

Both the American and Italian experts said: "WONDERFUL!"

The French expert Lerouch said with some embarrassment: "This is too extravagant! ”

Zheng Xudong said with a smile: "There are ten people in this room (six experts, plus Zheng Xudong, Sean, Ou Zhaolun and the secretary), how can one bottle be enough to drink, don't you want to drink!"

Through the appraisal of these national treasure-level antiques (cultural relics) just now, these experts can also see that this young man is actually very good at talking, and he is humorous when he speaks, and he will respect the opinions of others, but the premise is that you don't provoke him, otherwise he won't give you face. The most important thing is that this young man is still a centurion black gold card user of Citibank, and he must be a rich man, and he is very bold and bold! No, such a precious red wine says to open two bottles, just open two bottles, if this matter is put on themselves, they will never be willing to open two bottles, maybe they are reluctant to open one bottle!

How could Le Luch not want to taste it, France itself is a country willing to drink red wine, he scratched his head, "Then let's open two bottles!"

"Isn't that all there is to it!" everyone laughed heartily when they heard his words.

THE SECRETARY JANE CAME IN WITH A RED WINE GLASS AND WHISPERED A FEW WORDS IN OU ZHAOLUN'S EAR, OU ZHAOLUN TURNED HIS HEAD AND WHISPERED TO ZHENG XUDONG AFTER HEARING IT: "MR. ZHENG, THE PRESIDENT OF SOTHEBY'S AUCTION HOUSE IN GREATER CHINA IS HERE, LET'S GO TO GREET HIM?"

"This shark seems to smell fishy, otherwise why didn't it come just now?" Zheng Xudong said to Ou Zhaolun.

Ou Zhaolun smiled bitterly and said: "This kind of thing is not uncommon in the business field, don't you see that when you first came in, these experts looked down on you, and you can still expect the president to come in person." Forget it, don't be a child. ”

Zheng Xudong also understood this truth, so he stood up, and at this time, the door of the conference room opened, and Ou Zhaolun stepped forward to greet first, "Hey, Bruce Coon, did you smell the fragrance, we just opened two bottles of 230-year-old red wine." ”

The tall white middle-aged man with a head of one meter eighty-three or four said with a smile: "Of course, I heard that there are good things here today, how can I not come and take a look! This is your VIP customer, Mr. Zheng!" After speaking, he turned his body away from Ou Zhaolun's side and faced Zheng Xudong.

Ou Zhaolun hurriedly said: "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zheng Xudong, who entrusted your auction house to appraise antiques today, and is also a big customer of our Citibank. ”

"Hello, Mr. Zheng, I just returned to the magic capital and rushed to hear the news, I'm late, I hope you don't mind. Kuhn explained.

Zheng Xudong also shook his hand with a smile and said: "President Kuhn, in fact, you are not late at all, it should be said that it is just right, we just opened the red wine, come and sit down, let us taste the red wine I found at the bottom of the sea that is two hundred and thirty years old." ”

"OH MY GOD! With that, he sat down.

At this time, the two bottles of red wine had been opened, and the room was filled with the aroma of fruit, which was very strong, and everyone in the room, including the new Sotheby's president Kuhn, took a deep breath, "Good wine!"

The secretary poured an ounce of red wine into everyone's glasses, including herself, and everyone began to shake their glasses when they picked up the red wine, "It's really very hanging." French expert Lelouch said.

Everyone took a sip into their mouths, and then swirled in their mouths, only Zheng Xudong poured all the red wine into his mouth, "Good wine!"

After seeing that everyone swallowed the red wine in their mouths, Zheng Xudong asked Le Luxu, "Mr. Le Luxu, how much do you think such red wine can be auctioned if it is auctioned?"

Le Lusch shook the red wine at the bottom of the glass, then leaned back in the chair, and said with his eyes slightly closed: "According to the previous sales records, if this 1780 red wine is auctioned, I think it will start at least $45,000, and at least $50,000 or more a bottle to reflect its value." How many, what do you say?" he asked the other experts.

Although the others didn't know how to identify red wine, they knew the market of the auction, and what the price of the red wine was at the auction was in the hearts of these people, so they all nodded in agreement when they heard Leluch's words.

Italian expert Serge Ferrard said: "Yes, I agree with Le Lusch that at Sotheby's auction in England in the spring of 2008, someone sold a bottle of 1920 British wine made by a British gentleman, and it was sold for 35,000 pounds! It was also worth more than 41,000 US dollars." But what kind of red wine is it, it's not famous, how can it be compared with this bottle of red wine, this is clearly recorded in the book, in 1780, King Louis of France gave the Red Russian Tsar Peter the Great's birthday gift, the inheritance is orderly, the historical time is clear, if you want me to say, the starting price of 45,000 US dollars is a bit low, if it is I, I will start at 50,000 yuan. I think everybody can break their heads. ”

At this time, Ma Weidu, who was sitting next to him, said: "Yes, if cultural relics want to be valuable, they need to be inherited in an orderly manner, just like this Italian expert said, there are already clearly recorded things in the book, time, place, people, events, all of them, no one can find any fault, and it is difficult to sell them at a low price!" Sometimes we experts can't tell you exactly when it's going to be used or who used it, so we can only give you a general direction, and you can't even tell what you bought back to show off to others! How embarrassing you say!"

"Okay, I'm relieved with the expert's appraisal, okay, I have a few things to trouble you next, who recognizes it, come and see what this is?"
