David said this, with tears in his eyes, it seemed that he felt very sad about his grandfather's past.

Jin Muchen doesn't know if this guy is acting, but even if he is acting, he is quite devoted, and it seems that he really has a deep affection for his grandfather.

It turned out this Paul. Dr. Singh and that Adam. Dr. Sackler met at a Sotheby's auction in the fifties.

These two doctors have the same specialty, they are both experts in the field of human spirituality, and they also have the same hobby, which is to collect Chinese antiques, so it is inevitable that they will become good friends.

Of course, these two PhDs are famous because they have made extraordinary achievements in different fields.

Paul. Singer is a doctor of psychology, but in terms of human spirituality, his fame and achievements are similar to Adam's. Compared to the sackle, it is not worth mentioning.

But when it comes to collecting Chinese antiques, he is more famous than Adam. The sarky is much larger.

And Adam. Sackler was a great man in human spirituality, but at that time he was just a novice enthusiast of Chinese antiques.

Two doctors with the same academic background and the same hobbies, after that meeting, they became good friends who were inseparable from the scale.

But the difference between them is also clear, Adam. Because of his research in the human psychiatry, Sackler had a fruitful life, plus he was already from a good background. So the result of his success is fame and fortune. In addition to being famous. He is also very rich.

And compared to him, Paul. Dr. Singer was a much more shabby, a new immigrant from Hungary who was a teacher at the University of New Jersey, even though he also had a doctorate.

I like to collect, but I can only rely on my meager salary and my ability to pick up treasures and leaks to hide and nourish them. Sometimes, even if you find some treasures, you often miss those treasures because of shabby pockets.

This financial hardship has always plagued this Chinese antiques enthusiast.

And Adam. Sackler was knowing Paul. After Singh's situation, he offered to subsidize him a sum of money every year to buy those Chinese antiques that he fancied.

This was for Paul, who was in a difficult situation at the time. For Singh, it's a pie-in-the-sky thing, isn't it?

So when Adam. When Sackler sent him a contract, he signed his name directly on the contract without even reading it, and at that time he naively thought that this was Adam. M. Sackler is his life confidant. That's why I treat myself like this.

Not long after he retired, Adam. After Sackler's death. His lawyer sent him a cold lawyer's letter reminding him of accepting Adam. After Sackler's grant, every treasure he collected would be donated to the Sackler Museum after his own centennial.

Paul who learned the truth at that time. Singh was struck by lightning, and then he had no idea of getting mixed up in New Jersey, so he could only come to Miami with his collection in frustration.

It's also a change that anyone who encounters such a situation will not be able to think about it, think about how you will react when you learn the truth that you have been cheated on by your best friend.

Especially when you learn that you are actually being played as a monkey, what will be the performance, I am afraid that Paul at that time. Singh wanted to take that Adam. Sackler dragged it out of the coffin and had all the ideas in mind.

No wonder the old man died with hatred in the end!

Jin Muchen and Fang Bo looked at each other and put down the contract in their hands, and then handed it back to David, and now they finally understood a little why David did this.

"Isn't there a way to sue them?"

Uncle Fang asked, but David smiled bitterly: "First of all, I don't have the money to hire a lawyer, and second, even if I can afford to hire a lawyer, do you think it is possible to win this lawsuit?" Today's Arthur Sackler Museum is no longer called the Sackler Museum, but the Asian Art Department of the National Museum. ”

David's words made Jin Muchen and Fang Bo fall silent, it is true that the current background of this museum is too complicated, there is not only a national background, but also the background of the Friel Museum, and the background of the Sackler family, I'm afraid it's not so easy to provoke, right?

In the twenties and thirties of the last century, this is a well-known thief of Chinese antique relics, at the beginning of the accumulation of collections, the methods they used were dirtier than the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which Jin Muchen patronized.

In the past, it was very shameful, and it was once called a robber and a tomb robber by his peers, but now they have been whitewashed ashore, and even mixed with institutions with national backgrounds......

In such a museum with a complex background, you want to fight a lawsuit with someone anonymous? I'm afraid that before the complaint is handed over to the court, you have already evaporated from the world, don't think that now that they are wearing tuxedos, it seems that they are really civilized when they are polite, in fact, if necessary, they can roll up their sleeves at any time and change back to the way they were.

No wonder this David doesn't want to go to court, and no wonder he doesn't go to the auction house, such a batch of treasures with complex backgrounds, that auction house dares to put them up for auction?

Looking for a museum? That's even more self-defeating, as for the garage sale at home, I'm afraid that as soon as his advertisement goes out, the police will come to the door.

Is it any wonder that David wants to go to the scene of the antique jewelry exhibition to find a rich man who understands Chinese antiques?

It seems that he can think of this way, but he is not stupid, and his luck is not bad, he actually found Fang Bo and Jin Muchen.

"Okay, we get it, let's get started!"

Uncle Fang looked at that David, and then exchanged glances with Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen also nodded, it seems that he should be able to have a good harvest today, but this is actually his first harvest trip with an unusually heavy mood.

"You are casual, my rules are very simple, wholesale sales, no bargaining, 20,000 yuan per piece. But it is best to control the total number to about 100 pieces. As you know, I can't sell too many of these things, and even though my grandfather didn't report the total amount of jade he had in his collection to them during his lifetime, they weren't stupid. ”

David's words listened to Jin Muchen and Fang Bo, 20,000 US dollars each, a limit of 100 pieces, and a, this is completely the rhythm of spitting out the serum warehouse and jumping off the building.

It seems that this David really hates the people of the Furel and Sackler families to the extreme, otherwise it would be impossible for him to dump the treasure left by his grandfather at such a price.

And he said it, just pick it, even if stupid people understand it, that is, even if you pick the good ones, it's better to take the best part, anyway, Lao Tzu can't get it, and it will definitely not be cheap for the people in the Friel & Sackler Museum.

So this David is really smart, why would he sell these things for an average price of $20,000?

That's because he doesn't know much about these things and doesn't know how much good things can be worth? And he also wanted to dispose of these things as soon as possible, so he said this because he was too lazy to bargain with Jin Muchen and them.

And Jin Muchen and Fang Bo are the people he picked up from the antique jewelry exhibition, even if they have money, but he doesn't know how rich these two are, and people must have a bottom line, if he opens his mouth and scares people away, he won't have time to go to the antique jewelry fair to find the right person.

So since you want to make a lot of money, but you don't want to let the Frill Sackler Museum benefit, this is the most appropriate way to deal with it.

20,000 per piece, limited to 100 pieces, then there are 2 million, the most important thing is that this transaction is not muddy, the speed is fast enough, he himself is selling houses, but he knows that the transaction of two million is more ink, how much time is wasted, and now he can't afford to waste time the most, if he doesn't do it again, two days later, next Monday, it will be time for those museum guys to come to collect things.

Anyway, if they sell things at this time, even if they know, they can only suffer a dumb loss, grandpa left a total of five or six thousand pieces of collections, and they don't have detailed records about all the collections, so they give them as much as they want, even if they don't have the right number, they have nowhere to reason!

Fang Bo and Jin Muchen didn't waste any time, they came directly to those bookshelves and began to identify them one by one and distinguish those treasures.

To be honest, Jin Muchen hadn't played with jade much before, and he wasn't too interested in jade things, on the one hand, because he had seen too much of this thing, which was common in his grandfather since he was a child, and later after the antique market flourished, he saw many people playing with jade, and he said all day long that he was a little rebellious and a little tired of this thing.

He didn't believe much in what jade raises people, gentlemen raise jade and so on, so he didn't have much contact, and after entering the antique circle, he found that there were too many interesting things in this circle than jade, so he didn't study ancient jade too deeply.

And today I met this Paul. Singh's life's collection, he was suppressed, this Nima, it's really an eye-opener!

It turned out this Paul. In terms of Chinese antiques, Singh specializes in ancient jade, ancient porcelain and bronzes, but his most professional line is ancient jade, so the largest number and best quality of the collection he left behind are those ancient jade.

And the order of the jade in his collection is not random, but according to the historical dynasties of China, Jin Muchen saw the first row of bookshelves, it was written 'Shang Dynasty', he felt as if his head had been wheeled with a hammer! (To be continued......)
