Chapter 741: Sling Mentality
Watanabe's words are true, although this Yao Chang Tianmu bowl is regarded as a national treasure of Japan by the Japanese.
But after all, it is of Chinese origin, and collecting Chinese antiques has always been about pairs, especially for this kind of ceramic treasure.
The top baby, a single one may be very valuable, but if you can make a pair, it will be even more amazing.
What's more, when this Yao Chang Tianmu bowl was originally crossed to Japan, it was also a pair when it came to the Tokugawa family, and later the Tokugawa family gave one of them to their family's nanny Kasuga Bureau, and the other one was destroyed in the change of Honnoji.
That's why there is only one collection in the Seikado Bunko library in Tokyo!
Now Junichi Watanabe actually has one in his hand, and this result really makes Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsura overjoyed, and even Kobayashi Kyosuke, who has always been not very sure that this Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl is genuine, is also a little doubtful of his initial judgment at this time.
This is a pair of Yao Chang Tianmu bowls, this is still it?
At the beginning, Tokugawa Ieyasu got two such bowls, and then he achieved the hegemony of the world and the shogunate that had dominated the longest period of Japanese history.
Later, one of the Tokugawa family's two Yao Chang Tianmu bowls fell into the hands of Iwasaki Koyata, the founder of the current Mitsubishi zaibatsu, and then this guy turned the original 99 trading company that made buckets into the Mitsubishi zaibatsu, which is now the leading Mitsubishi zaibatsu in Japan.
If the Mitsui family can get two Yao Chang Tianmu bowls today, what kind of changes will it bring to the Mitsui family?
Thinking of these, Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsui both felt hot, and even began to be a little enthusiastic, there are not many opportunities that such a baby can get in his life.
And although Watanabe's offer for the second bowl sounds a bit outrageous, if you analyze it carefully. It seems to be normal, too.
After all, on the one hand, he was helping the Mitsui family to get together a pair of Yao Chang Tianmu bowls, and on the other hand, he would definitely offend the Iwasaki family or the Sumitomo family because of this bowl.
And this all comes at a cost, and if Takazu Mitsui agrees to his offer today, then he may not be so afraid of the pressure from Iwasaki and Sumitomo's house.
"Good. 100 million is 100 million. ”
Mitsui only hesitated for a few minutes, and then agreed to Junichi Watanabe's offer.
Hearing that Takazu Mitsui agreed to his offer, Jun Watanabe, who had a tense face, but his heart was already hanging in his throat, relaxed all of a sudden.
Sure enough, Jim-san is right, as long as the other party is a rational guy for 100 million dollars, then he will definitely agree.
To be honest, Junichi Watanabe didn't expect to ask for such a high price with Mitsui Guihe, according to his previous thoughts, it would be good to be able to rely on these two Yao Chang Tianmu bowls to get online with the Mitsui family.
Just be friends with the people of the Mitsui family. So what's the point of making some concessions on the price of these two bowls?
After all, in his opinion, compared with the friendship of the Mitsui family, a little money is certainly not a problem.
But when he said these words in front of Jin Muchen, he was ridiculed fiercely by Jin Muchen, in Jin Muchen's words, he was a typical sling idea.
Who are the Mitsui family?
Since the shogunate era, people have been big businessmen and upper-class Chinese. Although their family was just a coal boss at the beginning.
However, after hundreds of years of accumulation, they have contributed to the original curtain downfall movement. Later, after the emperor seized real power, the family became the real rentier class in Japan.
It was precisely because of their contribution to the Downfall Movement that the Mitsui family was taken care of by the Japanese military government in the later Japanese invasion of Korea, Japan's invasion of China, and later Japan's invasion of Southeast Asia in World War II.
In those years. They completed the most primitive accumulation, and plundered countless resources and wealth from those colonies and occupied territories.
Later, although Japan was defeated in the war, it was rebuilt after the war. Because of their early contributions to the Japanese government, they still have the support of the Japanese government.
It was because of the support of the Japanese government that they quickly became one of the top zaibatsu in Japan after World War II.
And B society like Watanabe, if you want to have a relationship with others, I'm afraid people won't have time to look at you, even if you admit that you are a friend on the surface, but it's just the kind of useful time, just take it and use it, and when it's useless, I can't wait for you to die and don't bother his night pot.
So instead of currying favor with them, it is better to slaughter them fiercely.
And Jin Muchen's last sentence is even more important to Watanabe: Friend!? What's the use of you pursuing the ethereal friendship of the Mitsui family so blindly? You have my friendship, it's enough!
That's right! With the friendship of Jim San, who has great powers, what do you want the promise of the Mitsui family?
Besides, it's not that he hasn't heard of the style of these top chaebols in Japan, and it's true that these guys are the ones with the darkest hearts.
When they can use you, they will take it, and when they don't need it, they will die far away, but this is exactly their attitude towards Japanese B society.
And he doesn't know how many times he has seen such a real event.
In this case, it is really better to slaughter them in the transaction, and when the final price is set, he only tremblingly quoted the price of the two bowls for 50 million dollars.
But in the end, Jin Muchen was stubborn, and the offer was increased by three times, and when Watanabe heard Jin Muchen's offer, he was really shocked, although he also knew that this bowl was very valuable.
But after all, this bowl has never been sold at auction for more than 100 years, so there is no price for reference.
He quoted a price of 50 million US dollars, which was actually a drum in his heart, but in the end, Jin Muchen forcibly tripled the price, which still scared him enough.
Originally, he was worried that the people of the Mitsui family would not be able to accept such an offer, and would even be annoyed and angry by such an offer, but he didn't expect this guy to really agree.
Sure enough, Jim San knows this group of rich people best, the world of local tyrants, I really don't understand this bastard!
Takazu Mitsui quickly asked his accountant to transfer the account to Junichi Watanabe, and then asked someone to put the bowl in place.
At this time, Mitsui Takawa was satisfied and complacent, and originally wanted to shake hands with Watanabe to say goodbye, but at this time, Watanabe was on the phone, telling the people of the other two families that they were not using it and that the things had been sold.
Hearing Watanabe's voice on the phone, Mitsui Takazu was even more refreshed.
It has not been a day or two since the people of the Mitsubishi family pressed on the head of their Mitsui family, and the people of the Sumitomo family climbed to the head of the Mitsui family after World War II by monopolizing Japanese oil imports and domestic sales.
As a member of the Mitsui family, Mitsui Guihe has been unhappy with these two people for a long time, and this time he finally seized the opportunity in this antique acquisition, although it was only a battle of will, but this could also make Mitsui Guihe Dark Shuang for a long time.
Watanabe put down the phone, and then came to Takazu Mitsui with a wry smile on his face.
"Mr. Mitsui, are you satisfied with this time?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, haha, Watanabe-kun It seems that you really have the ability to be no less than your grandfather, oh, if you find such a baby in the future, just call me directly. By the way, if someone from the Iwasaki family or the Sumitomo family comes to you for trouble, just ask them to call me and I'll explain it to them. By the way, Narita, give Mr. Watanabe a personal business card, Mr. Watanabe has any trouble that can't be solved in the future, you can call me. ”
Mitsui Guihe's words made Watanabe overjoyed, originally thought that this lion's big mouth would offend people, but I didn't expect this Mitsui Guihe to be really a little elegant.
It seems that this guy's mental activities are really not at all unexpected by Jim San, such a guy, only if you are tough on him, he will look at you squarely.
If you are too soft on him, he will look down on you.
"Okay, Watanabe-kun, we have some other things to deal with in the afternoon, so I won't bother you and take my leave."
The things have arrived, and Mitsui Takazu doesn't plan to continue wasting time here.
Watanabe nodded, got up and sent a few people out, but the group had already walked to the door, and Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsura only found out at this time that the appraisal master Noda Yoshihiko they brought did not come out with them.
The two of them turned their heads to look, only to see that at this time, Yoshihiko Noda was squatting behind the inquest table where they had identified the Changing Heavenly Eye Bowl before, as if he was looking at something, and he seemed to be fascinated.
The two of them couldn't help but feel strange, although they have always been very wary of this Noda Yoshihiko, but they still know very well what he is like, this guy has the ability and knows the rules very well, what's wrong with him today?
And it was at this time that they noticed that the area of this warehouse was really not small, but the light was not very good when they came in, so they didn't notice that behind the inquest table where they firmly changed the Tianmu Bowl, there was originally a layer of space isolated by the plastic sheeting that had fallen to the ground.
At this time, Yoshihiko Noda squatted on the ground and looked at a corner of the exposed thing under the plastic curtain.
And at this time, Junichi Watanabe, who saw this scene, immediately changed his face, and then walked quickly to Yoshihiko Noda.
"Mr. Noda, Mr. Mitsui, they are leaving, what are you still looking at here?" (To be continued.) )
