Chapter 18 Worth a million
Zhang Tianyuan heard Dong Lao's words, he was really a little tempted, he was in urgent need of money now, especially in order to treat his father's illness, he borrowed Xu just tens of thousands, his career was about to start, and he was short of money to spend, the jade shop wanted to develop, it was impossible to have no money, you couldn't even get good goods without money, not to mention that his ambition was not this, the jade shop was just starting, and he would have to get involved in calligraphy and painting, ceramics, etc. in the future, how could he afford to play without money?
Although 100,000 yuan is not much money in today's society, after all, there are too many rich people now, and 100,000 yuan can't even buy a good car, and in Shangpu, the down payment for a house has to be several million, what is 100,000 yuan enough? But then again, Zhang Tianyuan is still a poor man after all, and 100,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for him, and with this money, he can do a lot of things.
was thinking about whether to agree, and suddenly Liu Mengxun spoke again.
Liu Mengxun rarely spoke today, she just listened silently to everyone chatting there, but at this time, she suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Dong, as far as I know, not long ago, at an auction in Hong Kong, there was a seven-page manuscript of Wang Shizhen's "Preface to the Collected Poems of Caigentang", which was sold for HK$1.18 million at that time...... If it's not an acquaintance, you pay 100,000 yuan, I won't say anything, after all, in the antique industry, whoever has a good enough vision and knows more will be able to make money, but Zhang Tianyuan is my friend, I can't let him suffer this secret loss. ”
Hearing Liu Mengxun say this, Dong Lao's facial muscles twitched, not angry, but feeling a little regretful.
"Mom, it's a good girl, more than one million Hong Kong dollars, this broken villain book is really so valuable!" Xu Gang was completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Tianyuan was also a little shocked, he was once again aware of his ignorance, although there was a six-character true formula, but after all, the realm of earth qi was too low, and the valuation of the item was too inaccurate, this thing was so expensive, he didn't expect it at all.
But he is much calmer than Xu Gang, because he knows that there will be many such things in the future, he is so shocked now, and he should not be scared to death because of excessive shock in the future?
Mu Ying patted Xu Gang and motioned him to calm down.
Thinking about it now, Mu Ying also felt that he was too clumsy, and he had to buy millions of things, even if he had to buy them for a few thousand yuan.
"Ha Luha, old man Dong, you are clumsy this time, Miss Xiaoliu is not an ordinary person, she has been exposed to these things since she was a child, and she is a major in this area, although her vision may not be as good as you and me, but her knowledge is not narrow. Li Lao Ha said with a smile: "Don't say anything, I'll pay two million, Brother Zhang, sell things to the old man." ”
Zhang Tianyuan didn't say anything, but Xu Gang on the side was in a hurry, twisted Zhang Tianyuan's arm and whispered: "What are you still doing in a daze, two million, it's gone!"
Even though Xu Gang is richer than Zhang Tianyuan, if it is millions, it is not a small amount for him, so it is normal to be so excited.
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head, he has now realized a little, the four experts sitting in front of him, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, before Liu Mengxun opened his mouth, they would not have offered such a high price, sure enough, friends in the antique world are unreliable, and they have to train their own pair of golden eyes.
"Old man Li, what are you doing to make a fuss, although the villain's book is indeed Wang Shizhen's real handwriting, but it is not Wang Shizhen's poems, and there is no reference to this kind of thing, so it may not be as expensive as Wang Shizhen's poetry collection. "Dong Lao didn't have a good airway.
"Dong Lao's words are wrong, it has always been rare and expensive, this villain book is good because it is a unique book, there is nothing else, and he not only has Wang Shizhen's own handwriting, but also the paintings of Qing Dynasty painters, although this painter still does not know who Lu Dao is, but what if he learns that it is more famous than Wang Shizhen in the future? Then the value of this thing is even higher. Boss Xiao smiled and said.
"It's useless to predict those things. ”
"Well, what you said makes sense, but judging from the characteristics of Wang Shizhen's authentic work and unique book, the value of this thing will definitely not be less than two million, and it may even be a priceless treasure for those who like this kind of collection. Since Dong Lao thinks it's not good, then Xiao Mouke is under him, Brother Zhang, let's make a deal for three million, I'm happy enough, as long as you agree, you can immediately transfer money to the bank!" Boss Xiao said proudly.
"You stinky boy!" Dong Lao stomped his foot angrily, looking very angry.
"Three and a half million!" Suddenly, Si Swenwen's boss Murong lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said expressionlessly.
Although the antique world says that there is friendship, but when you encounter a good thing, it is also who bids high and who gets, no one here will say that you bully the elderly, and no one will say that you bully children, who has a good background, who has more money, who has a good vision, who is the king of this line, in fact, it is as simple as that.
Fair, simple, without too many complicated things, rely on ability to eat.
Boss Murong probably also thinks that Boss Xiao is right, this thing is a lonely book, if you put it around, it can only increase in value, it is impossible to depreciate, as long as it is well protected, it will definitely be sold for a higher price in the future.
The key is that this thing can be used as the treasure of the town store, with this thing, the store can attract a lot of customers in the future, and the impact of this will be great.
Dong Lao was really angry by these people, and suddenly slapped the table and said: "Four million! Don't rob anyone from the old man, the old man wants this thing!"
The other three were stunned by his momentum, although they still wanted to continue bidding, but considering that everyone will have to get along in the future, it will not be good to continue to make trouble, and the most important thing is that the richest person in this is this Dong Lao, who really forced him to be anxious, and these people really can't fight.
With such a high price, Dong Lao was also a little painful, but he could afford it, he just regretted it a little, why didn't he buy this thing back then, at that time, it was a bargain that could be obtained for a hundred yuan.
This is the loss of youth, when I was too young and frivolous, I thought I knew something, but in fact I didn't understand anything at all.
Mu Ying stared at the comic book that was grabbed by Dong Lao in her hand at this time, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again.
"Yingzi, do you want this too?" Zhang Tianyuan had been observing the expressions of everyone in the room, and at this time, seeing Mu Ying's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he couldn't help but ask.
For him, whether it is Dong Lao, Li Lao, Boss Xiao or Boss Murong, they are not as close as Mu Ying.
First, Mu Ying is his old classmate, secondly, Mu Ying is his good buddy's girlfriend, and the third point, Mu Ying has done him a lot of favors during this time, this favor must be repaid, if Mu Ying really wants this comic book, even if it is cheaper, he will not sell it to her.
Mu Ying's expression was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and thought about it, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "That's right, I want this thing too, I planned to buy it before, but in fact, the reason is the same." ”
"What reason?"
"I may not have told you, my grandfather used to be a professor at the Shangpu Museum, and in the early years, the museum was stolen and a number of things were lost, including a comic book that is said to be very precious......
"It can't be such a coincidence, this thing was stolen from the Shangpu Museum?" Dong Lao frowned and asked, if this is the case, then it will be troublesome.
Mu Ying shook her head and said, "No, that thing shouldn't be as precious as this comic book, but I think, if you can replace it with this, can it also be regarded as filling the regret in Grandpa's heart?"
