Chapter 693: Guiding the Way

Jin Muchen's question made Junichi Watanabe break out in a cold sweat on his head.

Yes, this bowl is one of Japan's top national treasures, how much is it worth?

Although the Watanabe family also has a lot of money, if they want to win such a bowl, I'm afraid it's also a fantasy.

The attitude of the Japanese towards antiques is very strange, especially when it comes to antiques produced in their own country, and they generally adopt the attitude of not buying back and not buying them at a high price.

As early as the sixties and seventies, after Japan's economy took off, a large number of rich people were born in Japan.

At that time, those antique auction companies in Europe and the United States organized many special auctions of Japanese antiques in order to make money from these Japanese.

At that time, most of the rich people in Japan had a very strong sense of patriotism, and their thoughts at that time were the same as those of the Chinese today, as long as they were treasures of their own country, they would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to let these antiques flow back to Japan.

So at that time, those rich people in Japan were slaughtered by those antique dealers in Europe and the United States at international auctions, so that the legend of the Japanese fat sheep was circulated internationally at that time.

But after being slaughtered so many times, the Japanese also learned well, and knew that this was not the way to go, so they simply held an antique enthusiast conference in their own country, organized everyone, and formulated a discipline.

That is, if those European and American antique dealers are organizing a special auction of Japanese antiques, they will not participate, and even if they do, they will not be paying a high price. lest they be stabbed as fat sheep in the future.

And without the participation of the Japanese. Those Japanese antiques that are in the hands of European and American antique dealers. Naturally, it won't be able to sell at a high price, and wouldn't it be more cost-effective to buy those things back at a very low price?

Since then, the Japanese have ceased to be in the international pursuit of their own antiques.

But there is also a prerequisite, that is, the antiques that are auctioned are not top-quality antiques that have special significance to Japan, and if they are antiques that have extraordinary significance to Japan, then it is naturally a different matter.

is like the wooden box used by the French cardinal that Jin Muchen got before. The box was still used by the Japanese shogun, and such a thing has a very important and special significance for the history of Japan, so of course the Japanese are willing to bring it back to Japan at any cost.

And now the Yao Chang Tianmu bowl in Watanabe's hand is even more precious.

You must know that this thing is an important cultural relic that has accompanied the development of Japanese history since the 12th century, and the Tokugawa family once regarded this thing as a family heirloom.

Such a treasure even has the status of a national jade seal in Japan, so it has a status in the hearts of the Japanese. How can you equate it to those ordinary Japanese antiques?

So this is destined for this bowl, as long as it is unveiled in Japan. That will definitely become the object of crazy pursuit by Japanese business and political bigwigs.

Such a treasure is not something that everyone can get and receive, and if you don't do it well, not only will it not become a family heirloom, but it will also become a disaster for breaking the family.

Watanabe is also a smart person, and he soon remembered the allusion that the horseman was innocent and guilty, and he was even more cold sweat for a while, but he just let this treasure out, but he was really unwilling!

"I think you know better than I know what such a treasure means to you Japanese. If this baby were to be auctioned, how much would it cost? One billion yen? Billion? Even five billion, ten billion, I'm afraid it's possible, right? After so many years, can you Watanabe family get it? ”

Jin Muchen's words were like a series of bombs, and Junichi Watanabe was dizzy.

Indeed, this Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl, because its identity and status are so special, so as long as it appears in the auction market, it will definitely cause the crazy of those rich people in Japan.

Don't look at the current economic recession in Japan, but even so, it will not have much impact on those rich people in Japan.

According to the current exchange rate, 100 million yen is only more than 5.4 million yuan, and 10 billion yen is only more than 500 million yuan.

However, because of the special status of this bowl in the hearts of the Japanese, it is not necessarily impossible for this bowl to be auctioned for 10 billion yen in the end.

The most important thing is that as long as the news of this Yao Chang Tianmu bowl is spread, I am afraid that it will attract not only the rich people in Japan, but also the attention of South Korea, Europe and the United States, and the nouveau riche in China.

If these people also come to stir up the situation, then the final transaction price of this bowl will definitely be higher.

In the end, it is not impossible to auction 100 million US dollars, after all, this bowl is really famous in the international community because of the propaganda of the Japanese in the past.

And there are only four in the world, three in Japan, and one in China, and even if the technology has developed so much now, there is still no way to replicate the same bowl, and all kinds of gimmicks add up to the price of this bowl in the end.

Although Junichi Watanabe wanted to keep this bowl very much, considering the final market price of this bowl, he immediately gave up that thought.

Although their Watanabe family has also accumulated for decades, it can be regarded as having a lot of money, but it is definitely impossible for them to come up with 100 million US dollars at one time.

So although he was unwilling, after some mental struggle, Watanabe quickly made a decision.

"Hayi! Jim-san, indeed, although I like this bowl very much, but with my financial resources, I can't take it at all. ”

"Well, Watanabe-kun, if you can figure this out, that's good! But even if you can't get it, you can still get a lot of benefits from the auction of this bowl. ”

"Oh? What did Jimsan say about that? ”

"Hehe, Watanabe-kun, how your family started in Tokyo, I've also done this recently. In the Tokyo area, you seem to have a very good relationship with the bigwigs at the police station, the local governors, and the members of the Diet. And you seem to have some connection with a lot of the rich people in the Tokyo area. ”

Jin Muchen's words made Watanabe feel stunned at first, but soon there was a chill, it turned out that people had been investigating their background.

But it's normal to think about it again, this Jim Sang is a mysterious Mi countryman, and now it seems that he must be the kind with a lot of background and a sky-high background.

He is now cooperating with himself, with the temperament of the people of the United States, how can he not investigate his own details?

"But I think that although those people have some relationship with you in normal times, I'm afraid few of them really care about you, right? For them, society B is just a night pot, when they want to use it, they pull it out from under the bed to pee, but when they don't use it, they dislike this night pot is too smelly, and they can't wait to throw it away from it, so it is clean. Could it be that Watanabe-san is willing, willing to be seen and manipulated by them like this? Don't you want to go ashore in vain? ”

Jin Muchen didn't care what Junichi Watanabe was thinking at this time, and said his thoughts bluntly.

In fact, the statement that Society B is a night pot did not originate from Society B on Treasure Island, but originated in Japan at the earliest.

After World War II, Japan rebuilt its society, and with the help of American fathers, they established an elected system, but in the first few decades, their elected system was actually an ornament.

At that time, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was the dominant party and had been centralizing power for decades, and it was under the authoritarian rule of the LDP that Japan's economy began to take off.

It was not until after the Plaza Accord and the decline in Japan's economy that the situation began to change, and several other parties began to pose a threat to the Liberal Democratic Party, and Japan's head of state began to enter the period of popular elections.

In fact, since the era of the Liberal Democratic Party after World War II, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the subsequent era of multi-party disputes, the relationship between Japanese politicians and society B has always been complicated.

Many Japanese politicians are inextricably linked with society B, and they are constantly cut and cannot be sorted out, but the black and gold politics of Treasure Island are actually all inherited from Japan.

Therefore, in the early days, Japan's B society said that B society is a night pot for politicians.

It's just that Japan's B society doesn't need to be as sad as the B society on Treasure Island, after all, B society is legal in Japan, and they don't have to have a headache to wash their hands and go ashore.

And Jin Muchen's words just touched the scar that Watanabe was most reluctant to touch.

At that time, their family was just a small antique business, but at that time, it was because a real estate company in Tokyo wanted to take their house to engage in real estate, and sent people from the B society to make trouble, and the police finally turned a blind eye, and his grandfather finally resolutely took his father on the road of mixed society.

Although they have been very successful over the years, their family has always known that this B society is just glamorous on the surface, and those big businessmen and politicians, as well as their upline organizations, no one can be offended.

Especially those politicians, although they seem to be polite every time they see his father, but what is scolding his father behind his back, how can they not know?

If you can take the sunny road, who wants to go dark on this road?

Originally, their family didn't try to wash their name, but unfortunately they didn't succeed, but this time Jin Muchen's words seemed to suddenly light a guiding light for him. (To be continued.) )
