Chapter Seventy-Five: Valuation
Xie Bin listened to Old Man Zhou's words, and his heart was shocked, and his mind was really like this. Turning his head to look at Li Guohui again, he was squeezing his eyebrows at him. Li Guohui obviously also knew whose phone number it was from Xie Bin's title, and he didn't need to think much to know what the old man was calling for at this time.
However, in the face of the old man's request, Xie Bin would not let go casually, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you are one step late." ”
"What? Sold? Sold to whom? How much does it cost to sell? When the old man heard this, he was anxious and asked several questions in a row.
Xie Bin hurriedly explained: "I didn't sell it, but I have already told my father-in-law that it will be auctioned at him." "So far, Xie Bin has to say this, otherwise, Xie Bin really can't withstand this old man's offensive.
If this ornament wants to sell for the highest price, it must be auctioned, there is no doubt about it.
It's just that Li Guohui, who was originally a little anxious, heard Xie Bin say this, and immediately cocked Erlang's legs comfortably, and almost hummed a little song. Li Guohui is indeed determined to get this work that he doesn't know the true face, so he even put down his father-in-law's shelf, and is ready to pull down his old face and say good things to Xie Bin, so that Xie Bin can agree to be auctioned by his auction house.
It's just that I didn't expect the sudden change in the situation to suddenly kill an old man Zhou. Xie Bin couldn't honestly say directly, wait for me to send the auction house to the auction, that would be too shameful for the old man. Therefore, he can only push out his father-in-law as a shield, so that the old man has nothing to say. This has been sent to the auction house and will be sent to the auction house are completely two attitudes.
Whether it is because of the relationship between Xie Bin and Li Guohui, or Xie Bin's normal choice, sending it to the auction house is definitely the best choice. It's just that Old Man Zhou just said that he wants it no matter how much money he wants, which puts the problem in front of Xie Bin.
Such an object, let alone Xie Bin, even an old fritter like Li Guohui has no bottom in his heart, let alone Xie Bin. Xie Bin wanted it low, and he suffered a loss; If you want it high, you will seem embarrassed to others, and you will be too greedy.
Now that the item has been sent to the auction house, you don't care about the money, so wait for the auction day to buy it back. Kick the ball back to Mr. Zhou.
Speaking of which, Xie Bin and Old Man Zhou are really two old rivers and lakes, and they fought back and forth quietly. Old man Zhou is imposing and menacing, and Xie Bin quietly came to use his strength to make the old man's domineering spirit nowhere to vent.
As for the matter of cheapening Li Guohui, Xie Bin doesn't care, not to mention that Xie Bin feels a little guilty now, even if the incident with Yu Xinyan didn't happen, Xie Bin will also hand over this work to Li Guohui to deal with, so as to maximize the value of this work.
Not to mention anything else, just dealing with these buyers who are swarming around is enough to make Xie Bin too busy to turn around, no, as soon as he put down Old Man Zhou's phone, Li Moxuan called. Li Moxuan smiled on the phone: "Brother, I heard that you got a treasure, when are you going to take it out for everyone to see." ”
Xie Bin secretly patted his head and said with a smile: "Brother Li, in two days, my father-in-law's auction house will have an advertisement, if you want, you can come over and have a good time, but if you want to win it, you can only go to the auction." ”
Li Moxuan laughed, "You are going to drain the rhythm of my family, I just threw 300 million yuan at you, and I haven't slowed down until now, I can look at it twice and be satisfied, wait, I'm abroad now, I'll go back in two days, don't rush to the auction house." ”
Xie Bin smiled: "Don't worry, there is enough time for Brother Li to have a good time." As soon as I hung up the phone, it rang again, and this time it was Liu Yifei who called.
Liu Yifei asked with a smile: "Brother Xie, are your ingredients for Fulu Suxi ready?" ”
Xie Bin nodded, "It's just the last step, what's the matter, do you want to buy it?" ”
"I can't afford to buy such a good thing, it's estimated that it must be hundreds of millions," Liu Yifei said with a smile, "Brother Xie, after you do it, can you leave me a few photos?" ”
This little thing, Xie Bin naturally has no reason to disagree. Liu Yifei's request seems ordinary, but it is not simple at all. Such works are generally collected by some big players, and are rarely seen by outsiders.
Even if the photos are revealed, there are usually only one or two frontal side photos, and there is no way to see the specific details. So Liu Yifei asked for a few high-definition photos when she didn't have a chance, which was a very rational idea.
Although you can't fully appreciate the charm of top-quality jadeite in the photos, it is still a beautiful thing to take out and look at when you are idle.
As soon as Liu Yifei hung up the phone, Chen Jianjun called again, and as soon as the phone was connected, he smiled and said: "Xie Bin, you kid is amazing, you got such a good thing again, where is it?" Let my brother and I follow with some light. ”
Xie Bin smiled bitterly: "Brother Heizi, what are you anxious about before it is finished, I will invite you to eat when it is finished, and I will let you have enough fun." ”
"Haha, okay, then you're busy, remember what you said, Ted Hotel, Buddha jumps over the wall," he said and hung up the phone. After coming back from Lijiang last time, Chen Jianjun was much more affectionate to Xie Bin, and he didn't have so much politeness in his words and deeds, which was very refreshing. Maybe this is the friendship that comes after fighting together? This can be regarded as an alternative comrade-in-arms.
In addition to these people, it is also indispensable for Xie Bin's biggest customer, Young Master Mu Fengmu. This Young Master Mu also heard about this, and hurriedly called.
Mu Feng didn't ask some stupid questions this time, but went straight to the point, "Boss, when will you make a move on that piece of Fulu Suxi, and what is the theme of what you are doing this time?" ”
Xie Bin said with a smile: "Traditional themes, as for the shooting time, it hasn't been decided yet, so I'll notify you when the time comes." ”
"Okay," Mu Feng said with a smile: "The boss is the boss, my family has been running the jade for several generations, and I have never seen such a beautiful Fu Lu Suxi, I heard my father say that my grandfather's generation once got a piece of Fu Lu Suxi's material, but unfortunately the foundation is very poor, the planting water is not enough, and there are black spots, but just like that, it has also sold hundreds of thousands of oceans, boss, you this piece, it is estimated that there is no more than ten or two billion can not be taken." ”
Xie Bin smiled: "It would be good if it was like that, let's take a look at it then, maybe others still don't look down on my carving." ”
"Cut, boss, although your carving is not a master, but it has a characteristic that no one can do, just by virtue of this, boss, your work will not be sold at a good price."
Xie Bin sighed secretly, if it is said that in terms of making money, his actions are undoubtedly very successful, but from a purely artistic point of view, he can only be regarded as a small trick, and those real masters disdain to comment on it.
Just like commercial films and art films, it's really hard to get together. Pure art is destined to be a hobby for a few, although everyone knows that pure art is more elegant and classy. But when watching and playing, I still prefer to choose something more commercial.
But no matter what, no one can deny that the jade works carved by Xie Bin are indeed unique, even if those masters are picky, they can't say anything about carving, because even they can't do it.
is like a series of movies that were popular last year, "Little Age", although people criticize it for being superficial and extravagant, advocating money worship and leading unhealthy trends, etc., but people's box office is there, which is the dream of many filmmakers, if they can also get that kind of box office, it is estimated that they dare to make even vulgar movies.
Later, many people called in, and even Li Xueqing, who is Li Guohui's cousin Xie Bin's seal carving teacher, specially asked Xie Bin if the piece of Fulu Suxi was purely natural.
For Old Man Li, Xie Bin also did not dare to slack off. Although the old man is not playing jadeite, it is rare for a hundred years to find such a material as Fulu Suxi, and it is normal for the old man to be curious. Xie Bin specially promised: "Teacher, don't worry, after the completion of the project, I will bring the objects to the door for you to check, it is definitely a natural and pollution-free good thing." ”
The old man smiled: "Okay, I've only heard about this guy before, but I've never seen it, this time I can open my eyes with you." ”
By the time Xie Bin finished talking on the phone, the teapot had been refilled with water several times. Li Guohui sat and listened all the time, and did not disturb Xie Bin talking on the phone. After Xie Bin hung up the phone, he smiled and said, "What kind of object are you carving?" Let me see it first, and then arrange someone to do a plan, and make it bigger. ”
Xie Bin took the photo in his hand to Li Guohui, Li Guohui looked at it, nodded and shook his head, "It's a good idea, but it's a pity to take out so much material, this is almost four or five catties of material, right?" ”
"Yes," there is nothing to hide from Li Guohui, "It seems a pity to do this, but the effect is better, especially these few points of red, which are really amazing, isn't it?" ”
Li Guohui smiled: "Very good," said and asked, "How much do you estimate yourself?" ”
Xie Bin hesitated and said, "More than fifteen billion." ”
"Hahaha, are you talking about the starting price?" Li Guohui said with a smile, "You, the grasp of the market price is still a little worse, in the past six years, at the jade trade fair in the capital, a piece of violet jadeite was sold for one billion, and it is also a rough stone, although the water species is good, but it is not top-notch, except for the larger size, there is nothing unusual." ”
"And yours, although I dare not say that it is unprecedented, but it is not far off, Cixi Lafayette's jade watermelon, green skin, red soil, white seeds and black silk, the estimated value reached five million taels of silver at that time, although this is also considered a blessing and longevity, but in terms of color, it is still not as good as you."
"And that jade cabbage, green leaves and white hearts, with green grasshoppers on the white heart, and two yellow wasps next to the green leaves, although it is worth ten million taels of silver, but it is also only three colors, which is still worse than yours."
"Although this is just a comparison, but you can imagine how popular your treasure will be, you know, even Cixi Lafayette has never had such an object as you, she has a luxurious life, and she is even more fond of jadeite, and her favorite Fulu Suxi is only black, white, green, and red, but yours is the standard red, green, purple and white."
