Before Ye Chen and the others came, Chen Ming told him Ye Zhenzhong's intentions on the phone with Zhang Guting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It just so happened that Zhang Guting also needed a sum of money to turn around, so he wondered if he could sell one or two antiques.

After eating tea, Zhang Guting left Ye Chen and them to sit in the living room, walked into the house by himself, and walked out of the house when he was young, with the two quaint boxes in his hands.

One is a rectangular box, long and somewhat flattened; The other is square, slightly taller than the other.

Gently place the box on the table and remove the teapot from the table. After cleaning it up, the rectangular box was opened, and there was a painting scroll inside.

Zhang Guting slowly took out the painting scroll and slowly opened it with the help of Ye Zhenzhong.

Although Ye Chen knew that his father liked to paint since he was a child, he was still very unfamiliar with Chinese painting. It's just that looking at the picture in the painting, it's a crane, and the four or five white cranes are very expressive.

Ye Chen didn't know what this painting was, so he saw Ye Zhenzhong gasp, and stared at the painting deadly. It seems that he likes this painting very much, while Ye Zhenzhong looks at the scroll, he also gestures in his hand from time to time, as if he is learning the techniques in the painting.

After looking up and down for a long time, Ye Zhenzhong came back to his senses from inside and handed the scroll back to Zhang Guting.

"Elder Zhang, this is really the real work of Elder Wang, it's amazing." Ye Zhenzhong couldn't stop praising the level of the painter, but Ye Chen didn't know what he was talking about at all, and could only know from the inscription on the painting that it was painted by a painter named Wang Huichun.

After Ye Zhenzhong finished reading the scroll, Zhang Guting put the painting back into the box and opened another box. A purple clay pot was brought out from inside, and this time it was not only Ye Zhenzhong, but even Ye Chen's grandfather stared at the teapot in a daze.

Ye Chen really didn't understand that a few old people were holding a teapot and kept making surprised sounds, so he could only say that Ye Chen's cultural cultivation was not enough for a layman, and he couldn't understand the heritage of these traditional cultures at all.

After carefully looking at it for a long time, Ye Zhenzhong put the teapot back into the box.

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, these two things you took out are too precious, we really can't afford to bid." Ye Zhenzhong said with a ashamed face, originally wanted to see if there were any interesting things, and spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy it back, and when he got to his old friend, he still had something to say. Now it's good, a painting costs about 500,000 yuan, and the teapot in the back is even more amazing, to say the least, it costs millions of yuan.

Zhang Guting thought that the other party didn't want to bid first, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Zhenzhong, since you were introduced by Chen Ming, I won't ask for more, just give a market price." ”

Ye Chen looked at his father's face and knew that these things were expensive, but he didn't know their true value, thinking that hundreds of thousands would be enough.

After confessing to Zhang Guting, he pulled his father and grandfather to the entrance. "Dad, how much do those two things cost? I still have all the money I had before, so you can give him an offer. ”

"Xiaochen, those two things have to enter 3 million yuan, to say the least." Listening to his father's words, Ye Chen's jaw fell in surprise, just a painting and a teapot were so expensive, and he couldn't help but think that he had chased a cultural relics smuggling ship before, not that he had faced a mountain of gold.

Although I was surprised by the price of these things, I was relieved to think that the cultural value of antiques was so high. And it can be seen that Dad and Grandpa like these two things very much, needless to say the teapot, the second child has never left the tea in his life, so you can imagine their love for this teapot.

And his father is a person who loves painting very much, so naturally he can't put it down. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Go Dad." You go to make an offer, and my son buys you some gifts today. ”

Ignoring his father's objections, he pulled the second elder back. "Elder Zhang, I want to buy these two things as gifts for my father and grandfather, I don't know what price you can accept."

Ye Zhenzhong also knew that his son had just gotten a windfall, but the price was too expensive, and he and Ye Chen's grandfather kept pulling Ye Chen to stop him from breaking the bank. But Ye Chen didn't agree at all, and directly asked them to quote, and said that even if they didn't insure the price, he would buy it according to Zhang Lao's price, and when the price was high, it would be a loss.

There is no way, Ye Zhenzhong can only negotiate the price with Zhang Guting, although he respected the other party very much before, but now that it involves millions of money, Ye Zhenzhong can't care so much.

In the end, the price of 450,000 yuan for the crane chart and 2 million yuan for the three-legged milk pot was set, adding up to a total of 2.45 million yuan.

After negotiating the price, several people drank another pot of tea in the living room, and Ye Chen was about to hand over the money to the other party, when a few unexpected people suddenly came to the apartment.

It turned out that the son of the old man Zhang Guting had returned, and he had brought a guest, James Posey.

Ye Chen didn't expect to meet the boss behind this cultural relics smuggling gang here, and the other party obviously recognized him, but he regarded him as Ye Cong, after all, he had ruined a lot of his business before.

"Lawyer Ye, I really didn't expect to meet you here." James sneered.

Ye Chen looked at James with an unkind face, and he also thought that he would meet him here. Ye Chen had messed up a lot of his business before, so in James's eyes, he hated this Chinese very much.

"Dad, I'll introduce you to the owner of an auction house, Mr. Percy." Zhang Guting's son brought James to him. "I didn't say I was going to sell a few things at home, so I asked a friend to meet this boss, and he has promised that as long as our things are real, he will accept the price."

Unexpectedly, James also came here to buy antiques, he looked at Ye Chen's group of people, and saw the box on the table, as if he knew Ye Chen's purpose for coming here.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have some valuable antiques here, so I want to take a look." As he spoke, James pointed to the boxes on the table, "Is that what's in them?" ”

"Hey, here's what we've ordered, go look at something else." Seeing that James was about to intervene, Ye Chen hurriedly urged Zhang Guting to settle the bill.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhang, since you are selling things, it is better to let me bid with them, and in the end, the one with the highest price will naturally win."

Listening to James's words, Mr. Zhang Guting was stunned and looked at Ye Chen very embarrassed, because they had already discussed the price between them, but now they were stopped by James, and he didn't know what to do.

"Dad, Mr. Percy is right, since you are selling things, you have to follow the market." Zhang Guting's son interjected, he naturally wanted to let the two sides compete, so that the price would definitely be higher.
