After more than two hours of shopping, it can be said that they have made a lot of gains, and the three of them are very satisfied with the antique jewelry they bought this morning.
But the most satisfying of them is Candace, because at this time, the four treasures are all hanging on her!
This is thanks to the fact that it is daytime now, and because of the jewelry exhibition, a lot of police forces have been deployed near the International Convention and Exhibition Center, so the security situation is not bad.
Of course, Jin Muchen and Fang Bo were also very satisfied, and Uncle Fang was satisfied with the quality of these jewels.
And Jin Muchen is satisfied with the sense of accomplishment of spending money to buy these jewelry, Made, rich people are different, although it is only two hours, but he has spent nearly one million dollars at this antique jewelry exhibition, and has become a well-deserved star in the exhibition.
Now many people look at him as if they are looking at a walking dollar sign, who made so few Chinese broadmen who came here to participate in the exhibition this year, and he is still the first Chinese broadman to see so wide today.
However, at this time, Jin Muchen felt a little hungry, after being able to bear the ability, he was a veritable big stomach, in the morning, if he hadn't cared about his image in Fang Bo and Candace, he would have opened his bow left and right and ate a lot.
It was because he didn't eat enough in the morning that he felt a little hungry at this time, so Jin Muchen decided. Mingjin first withdrew his troops. Find a place to fill your stomach. And then come and go shopping.
Uncle Fang and Candace didn't have any objections, it wasn't that the two of them were hungry too, Uncle Fang was a little tired from walking all morning because of his age, and he wanted to find a place to rest.
Candace is because he wants to find a place to appreciate the loot on his body.
The three of them left the convention center, and then went into a more famous steakhouse. I went in and ordered a few signature lunches and sat down.
Fang Bo was drinking coffee and eating slowly, while Jin Muchen was dealing with the food, and Candace didn't even look at the steak, and his spirit was all on the few treasures on his body.
Just when a few people were having their own fun, suddenly a person walked to the side of their table, Jin Muchen looked up, and saw a handsome blond guy about thirty years old, looking at him a little cramped.
"Hello sir, my name is David. Singh. This is my business card. ”
David said as he handed over a business card. Jin Muchen took it and took a look, only to see that the title of the manager of XXX real estate company was written on it.
What do you mean? I'm here for a jewelry show, how come a real estate sale comes to my door? I have money, but I don't plan to buy a house or land in Miami?
"Uh...... Not what you think......"
Seeing Jin Muchen, a few of them were full of doubts, and even raised their vigilance, this David. Singh hurriedly shook his hands to explain.
Fang Boren is old and refined, and his eyes on people have always been very accurate, and he is not a bad person when he sees this young man, so he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You sit down first!" ”
The David was also very happy when he saw that they had asked him to sit down, and the tension and crampedness on his face gradually disappeared after he sat down.
"That's right, I see a few of you, you spend a lot of money at the antique jewelry show in the morning......"
As soon as he said this, Jin Muchen and the others immediately frowned, and as soon as David saw this situation, he knew that he had said the wrong thing again, and he wanted to slap himself a few times.
"No, no, no, I don't mean anything else, I mean I see that you seem to know a lot about antiques, and it just so happens that I have some Chinese antiques at home that I want to sell, I don't know if you are interested?"
As soon as he said this, Jin Muchen and Fang Bo understood, it turned out that the one in front of them was not looking for them to sell houses, but to sell Chinese antiques.
But...... Can this guy be trusted? Isn't it the kind of shearling thief who sees them spending money lavishly, and then wants to cheat them and then beat them with a stuffy stick, right?
Looking at Jin Muchen and Fang Bo still with vigilant eyes, this David. Singh smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, my grandfather is a very famous Chinese antique lover and collector, but he recently passed away, leaving behind a lot of ancient Chinese jade, I have no interest in these and don't know much, so I want to sell ......"
"Then why don't you go to the auction company?"
Jin Muchen followed up and asked, but he didn't expect that David. When Singh heard him ask, he smiled bitterly: "If only I could find an auction company." ”
Jin Muchen's heart jumped, could it be that this guy is the kind of black goods in his hand? Or, who is this 'snake' that this guy has released?
At this time, the vigilance in his heart had been raised to the highest level.
He didn't notice Uncle Fang's hesitant eyes at this time, after Uncle Fang sat down, he kept staring at this David's face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and as soon as this David's voice fell, he asked out loud.
"Your surname is Singh? So what's your grandfather's name? ”
Fang Bo was actually just guessing according to the young man's age, but he didn't expect him to ask like this, and the young man on the other side was suddenly happy.
"My grandfather's name is Paul. Singh, do you know my grandfather? ”
When Uncle Fang heard him say this, his brows, which were originally very tight, slowly loosened, and the expression on his face became much softer: "Oh so! I know your grandfather, but I don't know each other too well, so you are Paul's grandson? I said, how do you look so like? How? Paul died? When was this? ”
Uncle Fang was also straightforward enough, but as soon as David heard that Uncle Fang knew his grandfather, he couldn't help but be even happier: "Last week, you see, this is a photo of me and my grandfather together." ”
As he spoke, he took out his wallet, took out a few photos from it and handed them to Jin Muchen and Uncle Fang, Jin Muchen took it and took a look, only to see a few photos, which were the portraits of David and an old man at different ages.
It's just that every time the photo is flipped back, David is a little older, and the old man is a little older, it seems that this David is not lying, he and that Paul something. Singh should be a real grandchild, because these photos are not fake.
But he didn't know Paul. Who is Singh, but fortunately Fang Bo knows him, and Fang Bo returns the photo to David. Singh, and then whispered in Jin Muchen's ear to introduce him to that Paul. Singh's origins.
This Paul. Singh, the full name should be Paul. Dr. Singer was a professor of psychology at the University of New Jersey before he retired, but he became famous not because of his profession, but because he was very famous in the Chinese antique circle in the United States, and he had been featured on the cover of American professional antique magazines several times before.
He is a Hungarian immigrant who immigrated to the United States with his family after World War II, and has been interested in Chinese antiques since he was a child, starting to play with Chinese antiques at the age of 17.
Later, when he became an adult, he was even more obsessed with Chinese antiques, and his footprints were almost all over the North American continent, as long as there was a city with a Chinese town, he would not miss it, so many Chinese who did Chinese antique business in the United States knew him.
He had visited the antique shop that Uncle Fang had opened in Flushing before, so Uncle Fang knew him.
However, at that time, his family lived in New Zhejiang, but in recent years, the old man has not appeared often, it turned out that he moved to Miami to live for a long time, and what he didn't expect was that he actually passed away a few days ago.
It turned out to be a China expert, the Paul who listened to Uncle Fang's introduction. After Singh's origin, Jin Muchen thought secretly in his heart.
Uncle Fang told him that his time in the circle of American antiques was too short, and if he had been a few years earlier, he would have heard of Paul. Singh's name.
Because the old man is an expert in the collection and identification of ancient Chinese porcelain and ancient jade, even more reliable than some Chinese experts.
Figuring out this Dave. After Singh's origin, Jin Muchen's vigilance against this guy has decreased a lot.
"David, I don't understand, how did you find us? If your grandfather dies, he should leave you a lot of treasures, although you don't understand, but if you go to the auction company, you should be able to fetch a better price? If you're in a hurry to get the money, you can also go to the museum to buy it? Even if it's not good, you can still have a garage auction at home? But how did you find us? ”
Jin Muchen didn't speak, but Uncle Fang asked tentatively.
There were indeed a few questions that he couldn't figure out, Paul. He knew Singh's fame, and he also knew that the old man must have accumulated a lot of good things in his life, at least a few thousand pieces.
There are so many treasures, even if his grandson David is stupid and in a hurry to wait for the money, these treasures can go to the auction company or something, but why did he find their heads in a daze?
Doesn't he understand the rules of this antique circle at all?
And as soon as he asked, David's face on the other side froze, full of self-deprecation and bitter laughter, he looked up, and then looked down at Jin Muchen and them.
"Hey! Some words are really hard to describe! Do you think I don't want to go to an auction company, or a museum? But the reality is that I am not allowed to do that, to be honest, I was also forced to do nothing, because of the time, I have been squatting on the antique jewelry fair for two days, just to find a group of knowledgeable and powerful businessmen to buy my grandfather's treasures, and I waited for two days before I met you, I have no choice. If you want to know why I did this, then please trust me and go with me to my house, and I will explain it to you. (To be continued......)
