Chapter 768: Sky-high price
As soon as these Mitsui words came out, they almost brought out the name of the Mitsui family and pressed people.
If someone else dared to speak in front of Watanabe like this, Watanabe must have turned his face with him a long time ago, but it was precisely because of the identity of the little old man opposite that he was one of the heirs of the Mitsui family, so he kept holding back.
Because he knew that if he turned his face, his fate would definitely be even worse.
This old guy will definitely use unlimited firepower to deal with himself, and the pressure from the Mitsui family is not something that a small gang leader can withstand.
And now he can feel lucky, fortunately, this jade dragon chair was originally intended to be sold to this guy, the reason why he made so many mysteries before, dispelled this guy's suspicions, and bought things at a high price by the way.
Because of the jade dragon chair, he has also seen it, although his main business is a community gangster, but the ancestors of the family have also been in the antique business for several generations, so of course he can see whether this chair is good or bad.
Especially Jin Muchen told him that this was a chair made by the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he felt that he had been blinded at that time.
With the descendants of a third-rate antique dealer like him, how can he not be blinded by the fact that he has now seen and even has to handle and operate, one of the top antiques in the world?
And it was during the time when he was in the circle that Jin Muchen quietly finalized with Yoshihiko Noda, about the explanation of this jade dragon chair, of course, they didn't plan to tell this Watanabe Junichi, they were afraid that this guy would be under too much pressure at that time, resulting in abnormal performance.
And now it seems that Yoshihiko Noda and Kim Muchen made a plan. All were perfectly executed.
And now Mitsui is expensive. Sure enough, I asked the price directly. You must know that if he usually encounters such antiques, even if he has Noda Yoshihiko's personal identification, he will also be very cautious, and find one, or even multiple Chinese antique experts, to do an appraisal of this jade dragon chair.
Just like today, before they came to buy this Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl, they invited experts in this Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl. Kyosuke Kobayashi.
If it weren't for the tight time today, and Yoshihiko Noda's performance was too dazzling, coupled with Watanabe's unwillingness to cooperate, the Mitsui brothers had to make a decision on the spot and win these treasures.
Because they were afraid, just when they turned around to ask other treasure experts to come and appraise them, this Watanabe might have already taken those treasures and ran away, after all, he had always been reluctant to sell these things to our brothers.
That's why they decided they couldn't waste their time, and now they see this jade dragon chair as well. Watanabe must not be given a chance to take this thing away.
And Yoshihiko Noda performed so well today, plus time was pressing. They didn't plan to invite other experts to come over to help, after all, they also had a certain degree of confidence in their eyesight, so they decided to take it directly.
While hearing the two brothers' inquiry, Jin Muchen, who had been hiding in the office, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was most worried about before was that this jade dragon chair was different from those Han bricks and tiles before, although those things were expensive, but they were a collection of nearly hundreds of various antiques.
So it cost more than 100 million, and the two brothers were not too distressed, but this jade dragon chair is different, this is a treasure worth so much money.
What if these two brothers, out of prudence, are reluctant to start directly, but instead have to find a few appraisal experts to identify together?
In that case, the chair will take less than half an hour, and it will have to be put on.
So Jin Muchen discussed it with Yoshihiko Noda, and felt that he couldn't give the two of them that chance, so he would let Watanabe show reluctance every time, the more unwilling he was to sell the antiques to the Mitsui brothers, the more the brothers would not suspect that this thing was fake.
And they won't give the two brothers time to invite other experts to come over.
It is precisely these psychological warfare battles that now the Mitsui brothers have completely walked into the big pit they dug, and even took the initiative to invite them to fill in the soil quickly, which made Jin Muchen unhappy.
Watanabe still acted as if he was constipated, and he was snorting for a long time, but he didn't quote a price.
At this time, Mitsui Mitsura was fanning the flames on the side: "Mr. Watanabe, you better think about it, anyway, it's not the first time you've betrayed your friend today, what's the harm in betraying once?" And we will not treat you badly, but we will definitely give you a price that you are satisfied with, and when you take the money, are you afraid that so much money will not convince your friends? Even if he is still very unhappy, but after taking the money, he will not come to you again, right? At best, I won't work with you anymore, in that case, I don't think it matters. You've lost the friendship of your friend, but you've also gained the friendship of our Mitsui family! ”
This Mitsui Mitsui doesn't seem to be exactly a straw bag, at least in terms of demagogy, he is still very skilled.
It's no wonder that a shrewd person like Yoshihiko Noda would be buried by him, just listening to him say these few words now, Jin Muchen felt that this guy's ability to appreciate treasures was far stronger than his ability to appreciate treasures.
Sure enough, Watanabe seemed to be completely shaken after listening to Mitsui Mitsura's words, and the hesitant look on his face only existed for a few minutes, and then he gritted his teeth and became firm.
"Okay, what is the specific origin of this baby, Noda-kun has also made it clear to you before. The handmade work of the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the second surviving piece in the world. These conditions alone have added a lot of color to this chair, and the materials, workmanship, carving, and everything of this chair are the top works. And it's a big piece of furniture, not a small ornament, so the price of this chair ......"
As soon as it came to the final pricing, Watanabe stopped again, and it was indeed at this point that not only did he feel embarrassed, but also the Mitsui brothers felt embarrassed.
Because so far, such a thing has never really appeared at auction, so there is no precedent, and this thing is not easy to price.
Song Huizong, the Wenqing Emperor of the Song Dynasty, has several paintings that have been auctioned, and those paintings with the least can be sold for more than 40 million yuan, and the expensive ones can be sold for more than 70 million yuan.
But that's a painting, and that's furniture, it's not easy to compare.
"Hmm...... Two hundred million, two hundred million dollars......"
After a long time, Junichi Watanabe quoted a sky-high price, and when Mitsui and his brothers heard such a price, they even wondered if their ears had heard it wrong.
Watanabe, this bastard, could it be that he is crazy?
Isn't it just a jade dragon chair? How dare you ask for $200 million? What do you think this is? Could it be more precious than the Yao Transformation Heavenly Eye Bowl?
The Mitsui brothers have grown their mouths at this time, and they don't know how to say that Watanabe is good, if it weren't for the fact that these two brothers are still well-cultivated guys, I'm afraid they would have been unable to jump up at this time and greet this guy with a big slap.
200 million US dollars, Lao Tzu bought two Yao Chang Tianmu bowls before, but it only cost more than 140 million US dollars, and bought nearly 100 antiques from the Han Dynasty, but it only cost 140 million US dollars.
And now a jade dragon chair, you dare to ask Lao Tzu for 200 million US dollars, is your brain in water?
Mitsui Mitsura and Mitsui Takazu, looking at Watanabe's eyes at this time, seemed to be looking at a madman.
And Watanabe didn't seem to see the eyes of the two brothers at all: "First of all, this chair is made by a Chinese emperor, materials, craftsmanship, and whatever, let's not talk about it, but anyone who understands Chinese antique furniture can see that this chair must be a boutique antique chair." Secondly, I want to say that this is made by an emperor himself, and this emperor is also a well-known carpenter emperor. Although he is not the kind of Ming monarch in Chinese history, I think many descriptions of him are quite controversial. Even China's own historians believe that there are quite a few doubts about the emperor's account. So this is quite a gimmick, worthy of studying the emperor, if this point can attract people's attention, then this chair will be even more valuable, so I asked for 200 million dollars, in fact, it is not expensive at all. ”
When Watanabe said this, the Mitsui brothers were really stunned, because Watanabe's words were really right.
If the carpenter emperor is a very controversial person, then the price of his works will be even more valuable, which is the same as the IP that has been noisy in the online literature industry and the film and television industry for more than a year, which is the so-called intellectual property rights.
Think about it, although you, the carpenter emperor, are dead, but a handicraft you left behind suddenly popped up, and the emperor's life and past were warmed up, everyone came to study the life of this guy, and as soon as they studied, they found, hey, this guy is really interesting, it turns out that he is not as mediocre as recorded in history?
So why do those history books desperately bury him? In the end, even others died, and he gave him the name of Ming Xizong to satirize him?
Who did he offend? You know, he's the emperor! Does anyone dare to pour dirty water on him?
In this way, the more people who study him, the more valuable his intellectual property rights will be, and in this way, the jade dragon chair that he has passed down to the world will be more valuable......
In this way, it is understandable that Watanabe shouted such a sky-high price.
But now there is a key question, is this carpenter emperor, is the historical record of him really so controversial? (To be continued.) )
