Chapter 210: The Fish Takes the Bait
Seeing that Li Wenxing was really fooled, Wu Dezhou couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, but he still pretended to be very dissatisfied on the surface and said: "I've been in this business for so long, if I'm not sure, dare to stake all my net worth down?"
"With your little net worth, it's nothing!" Li Wenxing mocked Wu Dezhou, but he still couldn't help asking: "Are you really sure that something is right?"
Don't look at Li Wenxing's disdain for Wu Dezhou on the surface, but in fact, he still believes in his vision. Don't look at Wu Dezhou now making a living by cheating, but he used to be quite famous in the antique world, especially in the identification of porcelain, he is very set.
So since it was Wu Dezhou who said that the Yuan blue and white bowl was no problem, Li Wenxing's interest was also increasing.
Wu Dezhou said categorically: "The thing is absolutely right, if you are interested, I can arrange for you to see the goods with your own eyes." ”
Although he didn't communicate with Jiang Ping in advance, Wu Dezhou knew that Li Wenxing was cunning and cautious, and if he didn't let him see the blue and white bowl with his own eyes, it was absolutely impossible for this guy to take out the real money.
Hearing Wu Dezhou say this, Li Wenxing was really moved, so he nodded and said: "It's not bad to take a look, even if you don't buy it at that time, it's finally an eye-opener." ”
"Isn't it? Wu Dezhou agreed with Li Wenxing's words, and then said very casually: "Then I'll contact the seller and make an appointment for you to see the goods." ”
"Okay!" Li Wenxing expressed satisfaction with this arrangement, and then asked: "By the way, how much does the seller offer?"
Wu Dezhou said mysteriously: "The other party said a fixed price, six million!"
Jiang Ping's reserve price is 4.5 million. However, Wu Dezhou tried to make himself a little more money. So the price was raised a little higher.
"Six million?" Li Wenxing said in surprise: "The seller really dares to make an offer." Who wants to pay that much?"
Wu Dezhou smiled faintly: "Don't say it, in my opinion, this price is really low enough." Last year's Christie's spring auction also had a large bowl of blue and white yuan, and the condition was not as good as this, and the hammer price was 10.5 million Hong Kong dollars! I estimate that if this big bowl is auctioned, it will be auctioned at least 12 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Listening to Wu Dezhou's words, Li Wenxing couldn't help but say: "This thing is really so good?
"It's still the same sentence, you can decide after you see something, okay?" Wu Dezhou on the other end of the phone said dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't eat this thing alone." You will not be contacted at all. As long as you buy it now, you can make a half-and-half every second, okay?"
After saying this, Wu Dezhou hung up the phone. Then he didn't contact Li Wenxing for two days, until the latter was about to lose patience, and Wu Dezhou called to tell Li Wenxing the time and place of meeting with the seller.
The more Wu Dezhou is like this, the more interested Li Wenxing is in the blue and white bowl. Considering that this is a multi-million dollar business, he also specially found two porcelain identification experts to go to the appointment together.
The seller was a thin-faced old man. He didn't say much, and after briefly greeting Li Wenxing and the others, he sat there without saying a word.
In fact, this old man was invited by Wu Dezhou for money, just to let him play the role of a seller. And the taciturn was also discussed by Wu Dezhou with him in advance. This minimizes the avoidance of saying the wrong thing. After a brief greeting, the old man took out a large bowl from the box he had brought and placed it on the table. And then he didn't say anything.
However, Li Wenxing and the others didn't pay attention to the seller's slightly strange behavior at all, and at this time all their attention was focused on the big blue and white bowl.
The three of them took turns looking at the blue and white bowl, and they didn't let go of every detail. After watching for a while, Li Wenxing exchanged glances with the other two, and all three of them looked excited and ecstatic from each other's faces.
Speaking of which, Li Wenxing and the others have a very good vision, and the two people he invited are even more experienced experts. However, the three of them all agreed that this Yuan blue and white twig pattern bowl is indeed right, 100% genuine!
Objects like this are so rare in the market that they can be described as rare. In particular, it is very rare to be so well preserved and in such perfect condition. If it is sent to a large auction house, it is definitely not a problem to sell for more than 10 million yuan.
At this time, Li Wenxing finally understood why Wu Dezhou seemed so excited when he called a few days ago, it turned out that he had indeed found a treasure.
In Li Wenxing's opinion, even if he buys this blue and white bowl with six million, he can make a lot of money, and he doesn't have to worry about it for the rest of his life. But who would be afraid of having a lot of money, so he decided to lower the price again and make a little more.
Thinking of this, Li Wenxing glanced at Wu Dezhou, and then said to the old man: "It's okay to be so-so, but the price...... It's too high, why don't you let a little bit of it?"
The old man glanced at Li Wenxing expressionlessly, slowly put the big bowl back into the box, picked up the box and walked out. Seeing this, Wu Dezhou hurriedly chased after him, accompanied by smiling words and persuasion. However, the old man did not stop at all, and left directly. Wu Dezhou hurriedly and diligently sent the old man out, and when he left, he waited for Li Wenxing to glance at him very dissatisfied.
Unexpectedly, the other party was unwilling to negotiate the price at all, and Li Wenxing couldn't help but be a little stunned. It took a long time for Wu Dezhou to come back, and he inevitably complained fiercely about Li Wenxing, saying that he almost messed up the deal.
According to Wu Dezhou, this old man's temper was very strange, and he insisted on six million, and he would rather not sell it if he made a counteroffer.
Of course, this is just a pretext for Wu Dezhou to fool Li Wenxing. In fact, it was just a small trick he played in order to get as much benefit as possible in this matter.
If he hadn't seen the blue and white bowl, Li Wenxing might have disdained Wu Dezhou's words. But after seeing this Yuan blue and white bowl with his own eyes, he couldn't help but take it seriously. Therefore, Li Wenxing rarely greeted Wu Dezhou and asked him to go to the seller to discuss it and strive to complete this matter.
Of course, Wu Dezhou also gave Li Wenxing a lot of face, and agreed to his request very simply. A few days later, Wu Dezhou brought back a good news, with his unremitting efforts, the other party finally agreed to continue trading, of course, the price of six million will definitely not change.
In fact, don't look at Li Wenxing's recent abduction and abduction, and he has also made a lot of black money, but he really can't take out six million.
In order to buy this blue and white bowl that can only make him a lot of money, Li Wenxing scraped together all the cash he could use, and the result was only 3 million.
And Wu Dezhou's side is not to mention, this guy begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother and only got more than 300,000 cash, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the seller's offer.
And in order to monopolize the benefits of this deal, Li Wenxing didn't plan to take Wu Dezhou to play at all. He agreed with Wu Dezhou that after the matter was completed, he would give him tens of thousands of yuan in benefits, and as for the money for buying the blue and white bowl, Li Wenxing would bear it alone.
However, at the moment, Li Wenxing can only come up with three million, which is far from the six million that the old man demanded.
However, Li Wenxing really didn't want to watch such a good opportunity slip away from his eyes, which was completely inconsistent with his character. Seeing that the payment deadline was getting closer and closer, after some weighing, Li Wenxing made a heavy choice.
Li Wenxing asked Wu Dezhou to inform the seller that he had been unable to turn around recently and couldn't get so much cash for a while. But he is willing to transfer the store located in the antique street to the other party for a price of 3.5 million.
In fact, Li Wenxing is insidious and cunning, and has a suspicious personality, so it stands to reason that he will not be fooled so easily. However, he couldn't control the greed in his heart, and felt that this was a good opportunity for him to soar, so he lost his original vigilance and wanted to get his hands on the Yuan blue and white bowl.
Of course, the reason why Li Wenxing is so crazy is also because Jiang Ping's methods of deception are too clever. The imitation of the Yuan blue and white bowl can completely confuse the real with the fake, and calm Li Wenxing and the experts he invited.
Knowing that as long as you buy this blue and white bowl, you can make double the profit as soon as you change hands, and such a big temptation is something that most people can't resist. Especially for someone as greedy as Li Wenxing, this is undoubtedly even more so. That's why he desperately wanted to get the big blue and white bowl, and even mortgaged his store in the antique street.
Of course, Wu Dezhou didn't dare to call the shots on such a big matter, and under the pretext of discussing with the seller, he hurriedly called Jiang Ping to ask for his opinion.
After knowing the news, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Jiang Ping asked Wu Dezhou and knew that Wenxing Pavilion had two floors, with a total area of more than 300 square meters. And like Julongzhai, there is a courtyard of more than 40 square meters at the back, and the environment is very quiet.
Although it is only 2002, because of the special location of the antique street, the housing prices are not cheap. A house like this, even if calculated according to the market price, can indeed be sold for more than 3 million.
The most important thing is that few people are willing to sell their houses here, and often you have nowhere to buy them if you have the money. If Li Wenxing hadn't been determined to get the blue and white bowl this time, he would never have made this request.
What's more, Jiang Ping knows that the housing prices here will be greatly improved. Especially after 2010, there is a saying in Sioux that everyone who has a store in the antique street is almost already a multimillionaire.
So Jiang Ping didn't think about it, so he sued Wu Dezhou to agree to Li Wenxing's conditions.
In fact, in Wu Dezhou's view, Jiang Ping suffered a loss by doing this. After all, according to the current market price, the house in Wenxing Pavilion is worth at most three million, and Jiang Ping lost 500,000 yuan in his life.
But this is not something that Wu Dezhou can manage, and since Jiang Ping agrees, he has nothing to say. The most important thing is that this blue and white bowl was sold at a price of 6 million, and according to the agreement between the two in advance, Wu Dezhou could get 300,000 yuan in benefits. As long as he can get this money, Wu Dezhou will not care about other things.
The buyer and seller were willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, and the deal was quickly negotiated. (To be continued......)
