At this time, it was too late to take a closer look, but four words had already flashed through Chris's mind: it was worth the trip. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

was blackmailed by the shopkeeper for 200,000 yuan before, what kind of VIP card did he get, he was still sulking in his stomach at the time, thinking that the other party was completely blackmailing, purely to add blockage and disgust to himself, but now after seeing so many treasures, he doesn't think so at all.

It seems that Harry really didn't fool himself, this antique shop is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are really a lot of treasures hidden!

Let's not talk about the furniture made of petrified wood and the tea set that I don't know where it came from, but the two table clocks he saw in front of him now, the workmanship is gorgeous, and it is impossible to describe it in words.

Chris looked at the two grandfather clocks and didn't know what to say, and his straw bale brother Martin was even more dumbfounded when he looked at the two grandfather clocks, and he couldn't speak at all.

When it comes to antiques, there is a natural difference between the artistic aesthetics of the East and the West.

Chinese antiques, more subtle, low-key, and connotation, while Westerners are a completely different taste, they prefer what kind of real knife and real gun, straight things, such as some utensils, they prefer the kind of exquisite workmanship, production technology, and real knives and real guns are inlaid with various gems on the utensils, using a large amount of gold to make treasures.

Such a baby, in their opinion, is more artistic, and valuable, after all, it is made of real money, just this material, it is already worth a lot, if you add a variety of exquisite production technology, and some color patterns, and then can have the addition of historical allusions to celebrities in the past, then such a treasure is perfect.

And now these two grandfather clocks, in Chris's eyes, are close to the stage of perfection, needless to say, the material is not to mention, with a lot of gold as the substrate, and then a lot of gemstones, and finally those exquisite enamel filigree.

In addition, this craft is not picky, the color painting is vivid, especially on such two table clocks full of Western style, the painted pattern is actually the kind of painting full of oriental art style, which is a very rare masterpiece of the fusion of Eastern and Western art.

This alone is enough to make people feel excited about such a treasure, Chris calculated in his heart, such two grandfather clocks, as long as they are brought to the world, not to mention the most important historical celebrities, the addition of allusions, even if the material of these two grandfather clocks, and the craftsmanship, it is enough to make many collectors in the Western art world crazy, and there will definitely be people who are willing to spend a lot of money for such a treasure.

What if you add historical allusions? Just looking at the bright gold shape of the table clock, and the use of most of that bright yellow pigment, Chris had already concluded that it must be an ancient Chinese royal object.

He knew that in the history of China, the color bright yellow was only a color that could be used by the royal family, and other ministers, or nobles, were absolutely not allowed to use such a color, as for those ordinary people, not to mention, if they used such a color, they would lose their heads.

So what exactly did the emperor of China use such a treasure?

"Well, Mr. Kim, I would like to take the liberty of asking, what is the origin of these two grandfather clocks?"

Chris and Martin surrounded the two grandfather clocks, turning inside and out for a long time, but in the end, they still couldn't make up their minds, so they looked up and asked Jin Muchen at this time.

Jin Muchen didn't make a sound when the two of them were circling around this clock, just standing aside, these two grandfather clocks, of course, were the two large grandfather clocks of Qianlong that he first received.

One of them was won from the Song family when he was fighting with the Song family in the capital, and the other one was collected by him in the Jade Bird City.

When he opened this shop, when he was entertaining guests, he used to take out these two grandfather clocks for display, and then moved upstairs for safety reasons, and later, because a robber broke into the house once, he locked these two grandfather clocks into the basement, and usually did not take them out easily for others to see.

Today, since the two Frill brothers have spent 200,000 dollars, let's take it out and show them, as for the rest... Hey...

And the two Friel brothers, looking at this grandfather clock, the appearance of Harazi almost staying, also made Jin Muchen very satisfied, after all, he has a lot of treasures, and it is not so much to always put them in the basement, is it a good thing, of course, you have to take it out and show it to others.

If it's a friend, it's a competition, but if it's someone like the Furrell brothers, hehe, that's what Chi Guoguo means to show off.

And these two grandfather clocks are really the appetite of these Westerners, the two Friel brothers, as soon as they saw such a grandfather clock, they were immediately stunned and suppressed, and Jin Muchen felt very satisfied.

"Well, these two grandfather clocks? In fact, it was the imperial supplies of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the imperial collection of the Qing Palace. ”

Jin Muchen just said the origin of these two grandfather clocks lightly, after all, there is no need to introduce this aspect in too much detail, just let them know that this is the treasure of the Qing Dynasty in China.

As a family born in Chinese antiques, they have received an education in history since childhood, and they are not only very familiar with the history of the West, but also the history of China and East Asia.

Especially the history of the Qing Dynasty, they are even more familiar with it, after all, at the end of the dynasty, but their Westerners' Paradise, the founder of their family, was not it precisely because of the weakness of the Qing Dynasty that they could spare so many good things from China at that time.

So those emperors during the Qing Dynasty, in fact, they know very well, and the Qianlong Emperor is the most important thing they understand, their father even hired a history expert from China to tell them about the life of this emperor.

However, the main explanation is not of course the emperor's martial arts, but the hobby of the emperor's life, because in the antique circles of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there is such a concept, that is, this emperor is actually the biggest antique player throughout the ages.

So the Furrell brothers, of course, also know that this ancient Chinese emperor not only likes China's own cultural relics, but also is the first emperor to come into contact with Western culture, and also likes some Western artifacts very much.

For example, the twelve water methods in the Old Summer Palace were specially made by Western designers and engravers, and he himself really liked Western clocks and watches, and he also collected a lot.

So Jin Muchen said that which emperor used to play with these two table clocks, and they believed it, and they believed it very much.

Since there is a bonus of this emperor, then these two grandfather clocks are even more valuable, originally these two grandfather clocks are the type that Western collectors like, and now there is such a historical celebrity, to give them a light bonus, it will be even more amazing.

Chris pondered that if he brought these two clocks back to the Frell and Sackler Art Gallery, it would definitely cause a sensation, and when such a treasure was lent to the art museum for display, then the position of the future director would definitely be his own, and who would dare to make irresponsible remarks at that time?

As soon as he thought of this, he made a decision in his heart, and then asked Jin Muchen: "Mr. Jin, may I ask how many of these two grandfather clocks do you plan to have?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean, Mr. Forrell? ”

"Oh, that's it, Mr. Kim, I like these two clocks very much, so I want to buy them from you, so I ask you, at what price are you willing to sell them?"

This Chris. Furiel asked confidently at this time, he firmly believed that as long as the other party opened his mouth, there would be no price he could not afford.

At this time, Jin Muchen first pretended to be stunned, and then looked at Chris with contempt and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, Mr. Forrell, do you think I'm the kind of person who is short of money?" These two grandfather clocks are treasures that I really like, so I have no intention of selling them at all. ”

Chris had long expected Jin Muchen to say this, and in his opinion, the reason why Jin Muchen said this was nothing more than pretending to be in that tone, and the ultimate goal was nothing more than hoping that he could raise the price for him a little.

"Twenty-five million one, two statues for a total of 50 million dollars, what do you think? And any kind of payment method, you can choose, cash, transfer, you can do it. ”

Chris confidently quoted a price, although he had never bought such a grandfather clock before, but he still handled a lot of treasures in the Qianlong period.

For the treasures of the Qianlong period, he probably has a price in mind, like the two grandfather clocks in front of him, although the workmanship is exquisite and the material is no problem, but according to the normal laws of the market, even if it is auctioned, it is something in the price range of 2,000 to 25 million US dollars.

If the price is higher, then someone must have maliciously raised the price, so he directly made an offer of 50 million US dollars to show his sincerity and ambition for these two grandfather clocks.

When Jin Muchen heard this guy's offer, he was stunned at first, this guy's stock price is really accurate. (To be continued.) )
