In fact, the Indian statue and raincoat in his hand are very precious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they cherish cultural relics, but in terms of actual value, it is difficult to say.
In Jin Muchen's view, the positioning of this thing is actually very similar to domestic bronzes.
Speaking of domestic bronzes, anyone in the antique circle knows that this is a national treasure, and if one is unearthed, it is a national treasure.
The value of cultural relics is very high, but the value of this bronze is mainly reflected in the archaeological value, if you talk about the monetary value linked to capital, it is not easy to say.
Because the circulation of this thing is prohibited in the domestic antique circle, and the state directly prohibits the sale and collection of bronzes, so even if China's antique culture has reached such a point today, it is difficult for you to be able to put a price on such bronzes.
First, there is a country's law where to put it, the general collector does not dare to touch this red line, in addition, because the bronzes are generally relatively old, the workmanship is relatively rough, for people who like antiques, not all people can appreciate the beauty of this bronz, so this bronze is also in the overseas Western market, but in the domestic antique collection market, in fact, there are not many collectors who really like to collect this kind of thing.
It is precisely because of the factors of national law and the relatively small circle that the capital value of this bronze is difficult to reflect.
Even if some unscrupulous people smuggle these things abroad, they generally can't sell them for a decent high price.
Like the more famous Zodiac copper head of the Old Summer Palace, the reason why the price was so high in the past few years is mainly because of the black-hearted foreigners, who seized the main reason why the domestic authorities and people with lofty ideals in China hope that such things will return, so they took the opportunity to speculate, which made the price of those copper heads sky-high.
But in fact, experts from the Palace Museum in China once said that the actual price of those zodiac bronze heads is actually not so high at all.
And now he has this Indian statue and a raincoat made of whale casings in his hands. For the Cheyenne people, this is a priceless treasure, a valuable cultural heritage left to them by their ancestors, but also for other collectors in the American antiques circle. This thing can be said to be meaningless.
Let's just say that this statue is completely incompatible with the exquisite carving, and it can even be said that it is quite rough, and it is even more unreliable to say that he is of high quality. The wood is ordinary boxwood, not to mention the raincoat, which is a whale casing, which sounds precious, but when it comes to use, not everyone can stand the smell.
Therefore, such treasures, like those bronzes, are antique cultural relics with very documentary value, but in terms of specific capital value, there is no talk at all.
After all, the audience for this thing is too small. The average collector may not appreciate the beauty of this thing at all.
So when Meilanda on the opposite side offered a price of $800,000, Jin Muchen was already able to realize that the other party was really very sincere.
Otherwise, if someone throws two or three hundred thousand yuan at you, you have to sell it, or this thing will probably have to be pressed in your hands, even if it keeps rotten, it may not be able to sell.
"Okay, deal!"
Jin Muchen didn't hesitate at all. Directly agreed to Meranda's offer, and Meranda and several Indian elders, whose faces had been tense, showed satisfied smiles. Then he stood up and stretched out his hand to Jin Muchen.
"Thank you, Mr. Kim."
"Hehe, you're so kind."
Jin Muchen said with a smile, and soon Meilanda signed the check and sent it to Jin Muchen.
"Mr. Kim. I've heard Jesse say you're pretty good at finding those lost antiques, so you must be pretty well informed, right? ”
Jin Muchen had just put someone's check in his pocket, and when he heard Meilanda say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Jesse, only to see that this woman just smiled strangely at him, and then squeezed her eyes.
I really don't know how this woman introduced herself when she talked about herself with this Meilanda.
"Uh...... It's okay......"
Although this Meranda was an Indian, she was not the same as the rude Indians in his impression, she was highly educated, spoke very elegantly, and had a very noble temperament.
Jin Muchen knew that in front of such a person, he still had to maintain a certain degree of humility, after all, if he said too much, he would inevitably leave the impression of being exaggerated and only boastful.
"Well, I just have one more thing I want to entrust to you, Mr. Jin."
"Oh? What's up? Tell me about it? ”
Jin Muchen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that there would be a business that took the initiative to come to the door.
"That's right, please take a look at the picture first."
As Meilanda spoke, the middle-aged Indian man who had been standing next to her took out an A4 piece of paper from his bosom, on which was drawn a very beautiful image of an Indian tomahawk.
This tomahawk should be some years old, you can know by looking at the material, the wooden handle, the axe on it is not made of iron, but I don't know what animal bones are made, but looking at the shape, you can still see that it is the advanced and popular American cold weapon, the originator of the Indian tomahawk.
This axe looks like the previous statue, the workmanship is very rough, but the axe handle is carved with a variety of beautiful patterns, these patterns look exquisite, although not famous, but always look pleasing to the eye.
"It's ...... Don't have modern photos? ”
Jin Muchen looked very carefully, and after reading it, he asked Mei Landa, but Mei Landa shook her head with a wry smile.
"This was originally a sacred relic left by our ancestors of the Cheyenne tribe, the wooden handle was made of ordinary walnut wood, and the axe was made of whale bone. Our tribe has a history of hundreds of years, but unfortunately in the seventies of the last century, because of a burglary, it was later lost. At that time, our tribe was not recognized by the government and had no money, so after the axe was lost, we couldn't get it back, but now it's different, we have money, so we want to be able to get the axe back......"
Meilanda talked about the history of this axe, and Jin Muchen only frowned when she heard it.
This task is quite difficult, the axe lost in the seventies of the last century, this has been decades ago, and this axe looks much more valuable than the statue.
You know, these days, the Indian tomahawk is a very popular collector's item for those who love cold weapons, not to mention such an ancient axe, which looks like an antique, may be hidden in a collector's collection room now.
Seeing Jin Muchen's frowning brows, Meilanda could only smile slightly bitterly.
"Mr. Kim, this is not a task that must be completed, we just want to tell you that you can let us know if you see this axe at your friends in the future. If you can, you can just buy the axe and come to us. We are willing to pay a high price to buy back this axe from your hands. That's what I mean. ”
As soon as Meilanda said this, Jin Muchen was a lot more relaxed when he arrived, as long as it was not a commissioned task, it would be easy to do.
"Yes, if I see this axe, I'll let you know."
"Thank you then, Mike!"
Meilanda smiled and shook hands with Jin Muchen again, and then greeted, and the strong Indian man who had been standing beside her immediately took out a golden card from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Meilanda.
Then Meilanda handed the card to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen looked down, this card should be made of metal, bright, heavy, and beautiful.
The front of the card is engraved with the words Jasmine VIP, and on the back is a string of phone numbers and addresses.
"This is our VIP card at the Jasmine Hotel in Hongshan Town, as long as you take this card to us, you can enjoy a 20% discount on the whole process."
Meilanda explained to Jin Muchen with a smile, Jin Muchen was not pretentious, said thank you, and then put the card in her arms.
Meilanda and the others exchanged a few words with Jin Muchen and Jesse, then got up to say goodbye and left here.
"I didn't expect that Meilanda actually valued you so much, and when she met you for the first time, she gave you a VIP card."
Jin Muchen flipped out the small card again and played with it in his hand for a while.
"Is this thing valuable?"
Jesse rolled her eyes.
"What do you think? Red Hill is now the wealthiest town in New Jersey, and the casinos are quite famous, and now even the people in Atlantic City are worried about them stealing business. This Jasmine Hotel is the best hotel in Red Hill Town, with casinos, beautiful women, great food, good wine, and everything you men like. ”
"Hey! Don't say that, as if you women don't like it! ”
Jin Muchen smiled and asked Jesse to arrive, Jesse snorted and rolled his eyes again.
"By the way, I almost forgot your commission, tell me what your commission ratio is, what is the general, I'll write you a check."
Jin Muchen suddenly remembered this, and then said to Jesse, Jesse was not polite.
"The principle of my charge is 15 to 20 percent for general customers, but for VIP customers, we will charge 10 percent, we are friends, I will treat you as my VIP customer, it will be 10 percent."
"Okay, 10 percent."
Jin Muchen smiled and took out his checkbook, then wrote a check for $100,000 and handed it to Jesse.
Jesse looked at it again, and he was also stunned. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
