Darren's next words, especially the offer about this silver wine jug, made Jin Muchen stunned for a while.

2.5 million to 3 million pounds, although the pound has depreciated a lot now, but if converted into RMB, it is equivalent to about 25 million to 30 million yuan.

This drain is really too big!!

Now the domestic antique market has been very hot, millions of antiques are not uncommon, but tens of millions are not very common.

Moreover, our domestic antiques, such as the most popular porcelain, if they are in the right era and are in good condition, they will be auctioned for tens of millions at every turn, which is already a very remarkable price in the eyes of many Chinese people.

However, compared to the international antiques industry, this price is really nothing.

In the impression of our people, it seems that antiques have always been the pride of our people, as long as our Chinese antiques are good, they seem to be very valuable, but in fact, in the international antique industry, Chinese antiques are just a big item.

In fact, the price of many European and American antiques is not lower than the price of our Chinese antiques, such as the silver wine jug in front of me, or the pair of celestial globes and globes in my home, or the three Sèvres vases, as well as the porcelain of the German KPM, in fact, any one can easily be auctioned for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.

This is not to mention the kings of European and American antiques, those precious oil paintings, you must know those paintings. It is often calculated at a price of more than 100 million dollars.

So we really don't have to be too proud. in this world. There are many things that are more valuable than our Chinese antiques, so as an antique practitioner, you really have to learn to open your eyes to the world, rather than staying in your own small circle and being arrogant.

Jin Muchen hadn't digested the shock brought to him by the silver wine jug in front of him, and at this time, Darren in front of him muttered glutinously: "Mr. Jin, I don't know this wine jug, do you have any intention of making a move?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this old man's question, Jin Muchen was also stunned.

"Mr. Kim. As you know, our family used to be in the antique silverware business, and although I have now switched to the jewelry business, this silver flask has a very different meaning to our family, after all, it has some connection with our family. So if you're interested in buying it, I'd love to buy it. ”

"Oh! I'm sorry, Mr. Wilby, but I like this flask myself, and I have no intention of making a move at the moment. But don't worry, if I want to. I will definitely contact you as soon as possible. ”

What are you kidding, we are not short of money to spend now, and the more important thing is that in this world, no currency can be relied on, the euro and the pound are depreciating, and the strong dollar is also a false fire, not to mention the yuan.

If there is no shortage of money, what does Lao Tzu want so many banknotes, it is most cost-effective to keep this treasure in his own hands.

Jin Muchen's head shook like a rattle, and he directly rejected Darren's temptation, Darren was very disappointed, but he still sent the wine jug back to Jin Muchen's hands very gracefully.

"But, Mr. Wilby, don't be angry. Actually, I didn't come here today specifically for this flask, I have another purpose for this trip. ”

Hearing Jin Muchen say this, this Darren. Wilby's eyes lit up, as an old businessman, he had already heard another flavor in Jin Muchen's words.

"Is there anything else I can do to help you? If you're in need of diamonds, I've got quite a few goodies here. ”

Darren smiled and squeezed his eyes at Jin Muchen, he couldn't put away the silver wine jug, but if he could expand a new customer, it would be good.

"Haha, Darren, I'm not too interested in these modern diamond jewelry."

Hearing Jin Muchen say this, Darren was stunned again, but Jin Muchen's next words made him smile.

"However, I heard that you are an expert in antique jewelry, and recently I just wanted to buy some antique jewelry to go back, I wonder Darren, do you have anything to introduce?"

"Aha, that's it! Yes, of course! But my collection of antique jewelry isn't here, so we'll have to talk somewhere else. ”

After Darren finished speaking, he simply closed the stall, and then left the New York Diamond Merchants Club with Jin Muchen, and didn't go far out of the building, and entered a bottom shop on the first floor under another building.

The plaque of this shop reads Wilby antique jewelry, the area is very large, because it is really the 47th Street where the buildings are lined up, so the lighting is not very good, and the inside is very dim, but it is this dimness, but it brings a mysterious taste to this solemn and vigorous shop.

In charge of the store is an old lady about the same age as Darren, who is very happy to see Darren back.

"Hani, why are you back so early today?"

The old woman stepped forward and gave Darren a hug, Darren stretched out his hand and pointed at Jin Muchen, and then said with a smile: "This is Lao Fang's nephew, he wants to pick out a few pieces of antique jewelry, so I took him over to have a look." ”

"Oh! yes, wow! What a beautiful lad, hello, I'm Darren's wife, Shelly. Wilby. ”

"Hello, Mrs. Wilby, I'm Jin Muchen, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wow, you're so beautiful, on the way back, Darren didn't talk to me about you a lot, but after meeting you, I think Darren lied to me, and his compliments were not at all as good as when I saw you in person. ”

Jin Muchen slapped the old lady's ass with very exaggerated flattery, no matter how old you are, whether you are beautiful or ugly, Chinese or foreigner, as long as you are a woman, then you will definitely eat this set.

Sure enough, Jin Muchen just said so lightly, which made the slightly vulgar old lady wearing gold and silver on the opposite side happy.

"Haha, young man, did you put honey on your mouth? Why is it so sweet to talk about? There aren't many young people like you who can speak and be polite now, kid, you're hungry! Would you like to eat something, wait, I'll prepare it for you. ”

Although she knew that Jin Muchen was really deliberately flattering, Mrs. Wilby was still very happy, and she really couldn't think of any better way to repay the reputation of the young man opposite, so she directly took out the cooking skills she was most proud of, and then went to the back to get food without waiting for Jin Muchen to refuse.

And Darren, who was standing on the side, looked at his wife with a wry smile on his face, then turned his head to look at Jin Muchen and said, "Okay, young man, I have to admit that you are really good at pleasing women." You know what Shelly says to me every day when I come home? Coming back, darling? There's bread and milk in the kitchen fridge, and when you're hungry, go get something to eat yourself...... It's been 30 years since she went to lunch with such enthusiasm as she did today......

Darren's words made Jin Muchen laugh, and there was a bit of ridicule and British humor in his words, which made the atmosphere in the room much more relaxed.

"Okay, let's take a look at the antique jewelry, I don't know what you like?"

"Well, I'm also entrusted, you can just take out the good things, if the style is good, I don't mind buying a few more sets."

Darren gave him a thumbs up, and then didn't talk nonsense, got behind the counter, and made a fuss in the counter, and then several sets of antique jewelry were pushed in front of Jin Muchencai.

Just seeing this set of things in front of him made Jin Muchen couldn't help but hold his breath, because this set of things in front of him was really beautiful.

The largest is a bracelet made of gold, enamel and diamonds, the inner layer of this bracelet is made of gold, and the outer layer is set with a circle of marine blue enamel, which is divided into countless small pieces by a gold diamond-shaped grid, and at the clasp of the bracelet, there are three diamond pendants.

The whole bracelet looks like the workmanship can be described as perfect, beautiful and amazing, which is how Jin Muchen feels now, to be honest, in terms of antique jewelry, it has not been the strong point of Chinese antiques.

And Europeans, who have a richer imagination, have always been the trendsetters who lead the trend of this circle.

The design of this bracelet is not to mention for the time being, but this material is much stronger than the antique Chinese jewelry that is generally only made of gold and jade, although Jin Muchen does not want to show weakness, but he must admit it.

The other pieces are a yellow lion pendant, a black butterfly brooch, and two flower earrings.

The gold lion pendant, the lion is not very large, made of gold, enamel and pearls, but the workmanship is very fine, and the lion's head and face are carved lifelike.

And the black butterfly brooch is extraordinarily beautiful, on a black butterfly-shaped agate, using gold, turquoise, and pearls inlaid on it, creating the body of the butterfly and the outline of the head, the overall shape can be said to be very imaginative, just looking at it already makes people have a feeling of falling in love.

The other two flower-shaped earrings are even more incredible, the flower path made of white gold, the green leaves of the green enamel zuò, and then the white gold buds are studded with broken diamonds, and in the middle of the blooming buds, there are white flowers carved from white opal.

Whether in terms of workmanship or creativity, it is the kind of masterpiece that makes people speechless, and can even be said to be jaw-dropping.

Jin Muchen also knew that Darren, an old man, was doing well in the field of antique jewelry, but he never expected that as soon as this old man made a move, he would have such a beautiful masterpiece collection.

These jewels in front of him can no longer be described only as jewelry, they are also masterpieces of art, just the imagination of designing and making these jewels makes Jin Muchen feel very shocked. (To be continued......)
