"Mr. Napoleon, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the Qing Dynasty Dynasty pearls, and they are made of jadeite, the value of the pearls is not particularly good, to be honest, you want me to give a very high price, this is not realistic......"

Zhang Tianyuan didn't lie about conceptual things, because Napoleon VII was not a fool, and he must have asked someone to see this thing, so the Qing Dynasty pearls and jadeite made of zuò, these two points cannot be confused, you can only tell the truth, otherwise, it is self-inflicted.

Zhang Tianyuan held this string of jade pearls and played for a long time, with his conscience, he didn't like this kind of thing, but he loved this jadeite very much, this green and translucent jadeite is also a very valuable one, and it is also from the Qing Dynasty, which is quite rare.

There is no specific valuation for this item, as it has not been heard of anyone selling such a thing.

If you take modern jadeite as a price, this thing is already worth a lot of money, and if you add the historical origin and cultural origin of Chaozhu itself, it may be more expensive.

But Zhang Tianyuan wouldn't say that, even if he thought it was good, he wouldn't say that.

He is not weak-minded, because he knows that no matter who it is, he can't give an accurate valuation of this thing, and the Westerners' disregard for Chinese antiques and jadeite has also made the value of this jadeite pearl drop sharply here.

Although I don't like it very much, but it is rare and expensive.

Zhang Tianyuan's collection doesn't have it, but other museums. There are only a handful of such things.

100,000 RMB to buy this thing is indeed a bit of a disadvantage to Napoleon VII. But then again, it's business. Who doesn't want to buy it cheaply, not to mention that this thing was brought from the Old Summer Palace by those soldiers of Napoleon III, and Zhang Tianyuan will not feel guilty.

Besides, no matter how good this thing is, it can't compare to Zhang Tianyuan's few superb collections, and the reason why he is willing to buy it is naturally because he wants to get Chinese things back, and on the other hand, because there are too few things in his museum.

The deal with the British Imperial Museum has not yet been confirmed. Those things are still in the air, not real, and the deal with the Brotherhood has not taken place, and no one knows what will happen.

Even if Zhang Tianyuan brought back the few things he got from Europe this time, there would be no more than thirty pieces in total, and even if he added the collections sent by the antique shops on his upper bunk, it would be too few.

After all, his museum is too big, covering an area of 200,000 square meters, so much something. It's a waste of space.

He finally managed to set up a museum, and he couldn't leave all those places empty. It was bought with money, not for free.

"Maybe in the future, you can directly open a Yuanmingyuan Pavilion and put all the things in the Old Summer Palace. That's a gimmick. Zhang Tianyuan pondered in his heart, no matter whether something is valuable or not, it can have a certain appreciation value. It can attract tourists and regain a little of the lost dignity of the Chinese nation. It's all worth it.

"Well, I actually showed it to the appraiser. This thing is really not worth much, so it is put outside, but you can rest assured, there are many other things inside, there must be something you like, although there is only such a layer left, but there are still a lot of good things, you can choose carefully, don't worry......"

Napoleon VII was obviously a little disappointed after hearing Zhang Tianyuan's words, he thought that the Chinese liked jade, and he would be excited to see this pearl, but Zhang Tianyuan's disgusted look made him discouraged.

This person is definitely not a good businessman, if he knows the tricks between operators, he will definitely know that Zhang Tianyuan is just a strategy to reduce prices.

It's a pity that he's still too sweet.

However, what he said was not bragging, in fact, the price given by the appraiser he invited for this string of jade pearls was not high, he marked it on it, and it doubled on that basis, which also did not want Zhang Tianyuan to know the valuation, but unfortunately he didn't know that Zhang Tianyuan would know the six-character truth, and he re-added the price, Zhang Tianyuan saw through it at a glance.

In the eyes of a person who doesn't understand antiques, antiques actually look the same, and those porcelains also look similar.

This is actually like a person who doesn't understand red wine to pretend to taste wine, in fact, there is no difference between hundreds of thousands of wine and hundreds of yuan of wine in his mouth.

The ancients said to play the harp to the cow.

Cows can't distinguish the sound of the piano, maybe in their ears, the sound is noise, and it is really boring.

Napoleon VII was certainly not a cow, but when it came to antiques, he was a complete layman, so in his eyes, these things made no difference, and whatever the appraiser said, he looked the same anyway.

"Monsieur Napoleon, in view of your sincerity, and the quality of your things here, I have thought carefully, the price is negotiable, I can even pay cash for you to buy these Chinese antiques of yours in large quantities, if you need to do it in the name of transfer, there is no problem, I can handle all the procedures, we can both get the praise of the general public, and you can also get the money you want, and find a warm and comfortable home for these antiques......"

Zhang Tianyuan thinks that for a person who can do business, you should try to pick the door, because he also understands business experience, even if you pick again, he also knows that this is the unspoken rule of the industry.

And for a person who doesn't know how to do business, you have to try to show a generous side, so that you can get him close, you can move him, and you can talk to him better about it. You don't need to say too much, he himself will reveal all his sincerity.

Sure enough, when Zhang Tianyuan's voice just landed, Napoleon VII seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with some excitement: "I think I really didn't see the wrong person, Mr. Zhang, you are really a good friend worth making, and it is really my luck to meet you." I'll just open the skylight and say something bright, I don't understand antiques, and I don't know how to make a price, Mr. Zhang, you just look at it, as long as it's not too little, I will sell these things to you, then you can rest in peace, at least don't worry about them being destroyed. ”

Napoleon VII's words are not bargaining, but really from the heart, and he is now not talking about business with Zhang Tianyuan, but heart-to-heart.

"I'm the same, it's really an honor to meet Mr. Napoleon, so let's put Nan Ke here first, Sister Xu, you can give a discount, it's cheaper." Zhang Tianyuan started the friendship offensive.

"The standard price of this Nan Ke dream is 500 million US dollars, and if it is auctioned, it can even reach 700 million or 800 million, since Mr. Napoleon and our boss are friends, so let's calculate it cheaper for you, a discount of 300 million US dollars, okay?"

In fact, this thing is two or three hundred million, and the auction price is about four or five billion, Xu Yue is indeed cheap, but not much cheaper, from a certain point of view, it is not easy to sell four or five billion, because few people spend such a high price to buy jewelry, it may take two or three years to sell, and this maintenance fee will require a lot.

Now it can be sold for 300 million dollars, which is actually a big advantage, but Napoleon VII sounded as if he had taken a big advantage, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, you are really a good friend." Since you are so generous, I can't be too stingy, so let's do it, something like this Chaozhu, the price is not too expensive, I am willing to donate it to your museum for free, it is really a free donation, not on the surface, and I will not charge any more money. ”

"Are you sure you're talking about free donations?"

Zhang Tianyuan felt that he was a little too bad, bullying a person who couldn't do business and didn't understand antiques, it seemed a little unkind, and now the other party was going to donate for free, he was really a little embarrassed.

But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to matter, these things were originally in the Old Summer Palace, so it stands to reason that the other party should donate them for free.

When I think about it this way, my heart is balanced.

Napoleon VII nodded solemnly and said: "You haven't heard, I did say free donation, no, or should I say return, alas, our country has caused great harm to the Chinese, a fire in the Old Summer Palace burned too many good things, I can't make up for it, let alone want this hatred to continue, so this is a little heart." Mr. Zhang, don't think I'm stingy, those things that are too expensive, I don't dare to donate them indiscriminately, you know, these things cost a lot of maintenance fees alone, I have to give an explanation to the people in the family, after all, this whole family is not me alone, right?"

"Oh, Monsieur Napoleon, you are so polite. We Chinese have a saying that courtesy is light and affectionate, even if you donate only some insignificant things, it is also a very important historical and cultural souvenir for us, which is made by our ancestors with hard work, representing our history and the dignity of our nation. To tell you the truth, I am glad that the Napoleonic family has a descendant like you, who is as great as Napoleon the Great!"

Although when he said this, Zhang Tianyuan himself felt red-faced, this sycophant was really a bit too much. But I have to say that Napoleon VII gave him a really good impression, much stronger than the Sloan of the British Empire Museum and the Brotherhood.

These Chaozhu and other things, although the value is not too high, are antiques after all, and they are antiques in the Old Summer Palace, which have their unique value.

He didn't care if these things would appreciate in value or if they could be sold for money, because he didn't plan to sell them for money, but one thing he had to care about was that with these things, his museum would definitely be able to add a lot of color. (To be continued......)
