Chapter 738: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Yoshihiko Noda took the bowl, and then pretended to draw a pen in his hand for a long time.
In fact, he also knew that with Kobayashi Kyosuke Zhuyu in front, the appraisal he made was also insignificant to the two Mitsui brothers, but the appearance of the pretending still had to be installed.
After all, he took the salary of the two Mitsui brothers, although his main job this time was undercover, and then the two Mitsui brothers did not discuss, but the appearance of pretending to be still had to be pretended, after all, this is a matter of face.
Soon he put down the bowl in his hand, then turned his head and nodded to the Mitsui brothers.
In fact, Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsui, who had already made up their minds about this bowl, saw Noda Yoshihiko's approval at this time, and they also felt more confident in their hearts.
This appraisal has already fallen to the dust, so the next step is to bargain.
Mitsui Takazu stood up at this time, the smile on his face was very amiable, completely lost his previous reserve and arrogance.
"Mr. Watanabe, you really deserve to be a famous family, your grandfather was also a big famous family in my country's antique industry, and our family had a few transactions with your family at that time. Later, your grandfather faded out of this business, and the old man of our family was very sorry for a while, but I didn't expect that this time, your Watanabe family will revive the family style in your hands again, what a gratifying congratulations! ”
Mitsui, an old guy, is also a person who is used to seeing big scenes, so he can speak very well, but because he wasn't sure whether this bowl was real or fake, he deliberately held it in front of Watanabe.
Now once it is certain that the bowl is real. The old guy immediately changed his attitude.
Before, Watanabe, this guy had been fighting with that Kobayashi Kyosuke. He saw it. He was a businessman, and it was clear at a glance that this Junichi Watanabe was not an open-minded person.
Now that he is about to enter the stage of bargaining with real knives and guns, then he immediately put down his body, first said a few words to soften, let this Watanabe soften his attitude, and then he has a good bargaining basis in terms of price.
After all, he also knew that his previous arrogance would definitely make Watanabe feel guilty. If you don't say a few soft words at this time, then wait a while, it won't be so easy to negotiate with this guy.
After all, this bowl has now been witnessed by him as genuine, so it means that such a good thing will not be sold.
If he can't reach an agreement with Watanabe today, then this guy may sell this bowl to other Japanese families, such as the Sumitomo family, and the Iwasaki family, who don't mind collecting a Yaobian Tianmu bowl.
This is not something he can bear, especially the Iwasaki family, when Mitsubishi was glorious before. It can be said that he is the status of a shadow emperor among all the foundations in Japan.
Until recent years, because of the great recession of the national economic form. The influence of the Mitsubishi family in Japan's financial affairs for two terms gradually declined, which gave the Mitsui family and the Sumitomo family a chance.
If the Iwasaki family snatches this thing again this time, then the political significance of this matter will be great.
That means that for a long time to come, the Mitsubishi chaebol will continue to be the leader of all Japanese zaibatos, which is the last thing the Mitsui family wants.
So today's bowl, he is determined to get it.
"Thank you Mr. Mitsui for your kind words, okay, I won't talk nonsense, I have something to do next, and the time of the two Mr. Mitsui is also very precious. Let's not go around in circles, you have already seen this bowl, it must be genuine, so please make a price! ”
Watanabe was not polite at all at this time, and even had a bit of toughness in his attitude, since this bowl had been identified as genuine, then he had completely grasped the initiative in this negotiation.
What's more, he is really not afraid that this bowl will not be sold, and the Mitsui family will not buy it, so naturally there are other people who are willing to buy it.
What's more, in fact, this is also a strategy that he and Jin Muchen have discussed earlier, they just want to force the two old foxes of the Mitsui family to be anxious, and it is best to arouse their curiosity.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsui Mitsui on the opposite side really changed their faces suddenly.
What do you mean, a stinky rascal, if it weren't for the fact that you had such a Changeling Heavenly Eye Bowl in your hand, do you think we would be willing to squeeze out the time to meet with you?
Now we haven't said much, you are in a hurry to rush us away, and let us take the initiative to bid, what's the matter?
You've even calculated your next home, haven't you? If we don't like your offer, why don't you find a home?
Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsui Mitsura glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of anger in each other's eyes, for so many years, there are really few guys in Japan who dare to be so contemptuous to the people of their Mitsui family, especially the guy in front of him, who is just a lowly hooligan.
But despite their dissatisfaction, the two brothers also knew that now was not the time to have an attack.
Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsura muttered a few times, and then stood up and came to Junichi Watanabe with a smile.
"Mr. Watanabe, since you asked us to bid, then let's make a bid, what do you think of the price of 2 billion yen?"
According to the current exchange rate between the yen and the renminbi, 100 million yen is 5.74 million yuan, and 2 billion yen is more than 140 million yuan, which is equivalent to more than 20 million US dollars.
But that's also a score for what kind of treasure, if it is other Chinese antique porcelain, or calligraphy and painting, this price can definitely reflect the sincerity of the two Mitsui brothers.
But if it is said that the Yao Changing Tianmu Bowl, then this sincerity is a bit insufficient.
And Watanabe had already discussed countermeasures with Jin Muchen before, and the pricing had been set a long time ago, and when he heard such an offer, he couldn't help but sneer.
This is the Yao Chang Tianmu bowl, when Watanabe and Jin Muchen discussed the price before, they referred to the quotations of several valuable Chinese porcelains in the world.
In 2003, in London, England, the blue and white jar that had been going down the mountain was pocketed by a Middle Eastern tyrant who spent more than 23 million US dollars, and according to the exchange rate at that time, it was converted into RMB, but it was necessary to enter 200 million, creating a sky-high price in the history of Chinese antique porcelain trading.
And this price was broken again in 2007.
At that time, a Sotheby's auctioneer in Xiangjiang, a Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, was sold for a sky-high price of 270 million Hong Kong dollars, according to the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi at that time, it was also more than 240 million yuan, which set a record for the highest transaction price in a Chinese antique auction so far.
And now the Yaobian Tianmu bowl in their hands, according to its degree of cherishment, is not weaker than the treasures of the two pieces of Chinese antique porcelain.
And because this bowl has a very special status in the history of Japan, it can even be said to be a legend, so at this time, the offer of the Mitsui brothers seems a little thin.
It's only 2 billion yen, just over 100 million yuan, how is this possible?
You must know that when Jin Muchen and Watanabe discussed the pricing at that time, the lowest price was also double this price.
Junichi Watanabe's sneer and the disdainful attitude on his face made Mitsui Takazu very angry, but just before he broke out, Watanabe spoke.
"Mr. Mitsui, if your offer is for other antiques, it is definitely sincere enough, but if it is for this bowl, then I am afraid it will be a little insincere. A hundred years ago, when Mitsubishi's Iwasaki Koyata won this Yao Chang Tianmu bowl, it cost 167,000 yen, and what was the concept of 167,000 yen at that time, I think the two of you should also be very clear, you must know that the yen a hundred years ago was not what it is now, and one dollar could be exchanged for 113 yen. At that time, 167,000 yen was equivalent to 125.25 kilograms of gold. And now more than 100 years later, taking into account inflation, how many times do you think this bowl can appreciate? What's more, this bowl has a very special historical position in our Japan, when that Iwasaki Koyata won this bowl, his Mitsubishi Trading Company was still called Kujiu Trading Company, at that time it was just a small trading company specializing in the production of buckets, but when he took that bowl, what happened, I think no one knows better than Mr. Mitsui, right? The reason why this bowl has such an important place in the hearts of the Japanese people is probably inseparable from its historical significance. So do you think you can win this bowl with 5 billion yen now? ”
Although Watanabe's expression and tone when he spoke made Mitsui Takazu want to rush up and punch him, but after listening to what he said at this time, he had to admit that what this guy said was very reasonable.
More than 100 years ago, this bowl was worth 125.25 kilograms of gold, but now more than 100 years later, the price of this bowl has to increase more than ten times compared to that time, taking into account inflation alone.
What's more, as Watanabe said, this bowl does have such an indescribable special feeling in the hearts of the Japanese, because this bowl has a very special place in Japanese history.
It was once owned by the Tokugawa family, and now the Iwasaki family, and both of these families once owned this bowl and were brilliant for a while.
Therefore, in the eyes of people in Japan's political and business circles, this bowl really has a mysterious aura of power inheritance.
If you want to win this bowl now, it will only cost 2 billion yen, which seems to be a bit insufficient.
If this offer were to be heard by the Iwasaki family or the Sumitomo family, they would definitely laugh at the Mitsui family's stinginess. (To be continued.) )
