Chapter 767: Enough is enough?
The professionalism shown by Yoshihiko Noda made Mitsui and his brothers believe him completely.
How could such a professional person make a mistake in judgment?
And the two brothers never thought about the possibility of Yoshihiko Noda and Junichi Watanabe colluding together.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the two brothers, it can only be said that this Noda Yoshihiko's acting skills are really fantastic, in fact, when this guy was in the United States, he had already figured out the whole process of Mitsui and the two brothers playing with him.
And after returning to Japan, this guy can still work for these two brothers in a loud voice, just live under the nose of the enemy, and still act as if nothing happened, it is his approach that paralyzes Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Mitsui, and the two people unconsciously relax their vigilance against him.
This is what happened now, and now this Noda Yoshihiko is digging a hole for the two of them in front of their eyes, slapping and encouraging the two to jump into it, but the two of them can't even see the big hole in front of them.
Regarding the authenticity of this jade dragon chair, Jin Muchen didn't tell anyone, except for Sister Tao, who knew the truth, and Lao Luo, the maker of this chair, even Junichi Watanabe, who is now working with him, he didn't tell Watanabe that this chair was a high-quality fake he bought.
And that guy Watanabe has always regarded this jade dragon chair as a genuine product, so it is not for nothing that he behaved so calmly before.
If he knew that this jade dragon chair was fake, then he and Yoshihiko Noda might not be able to perform such a wonderful double reed before.
As for Yoshihiko Noda, Jin Muchen never told him whether this jade dragon chair was real or fake, but with his ability. How could he not tell the authenticity of this dragon chair?
This dragon chair can be said to be seamless. Both from the materials. Or from the workmanship, carving, as well as the shape of the chair, as well as the process of craftsmanship.
If it weren't for the dragon chair, if this chair was taken out, there would definitely be a lot of people rushing to ask for it, but because there are too many dragon patterns carved on this chair, then a range has basically been limited to this chair.
It can only be royal only. It can even only be used by the emperor alone.
And when the scope is narrowed down to such a small size, it is actually very easy to identify, after all, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was no emperor who used the jade dragon chair.
And even the jade idiot emperor of the Qing Dynasty didn't seem to have sat on the jade dragon chair.
But Jin Muchen pulled out the carpenter emperor at this time, which made Noda Yoshihiko applaud, saying that Jin Muchen's plan was really perfectly designed.
And with Jin Muchen's suggestion, he will naturally help Jin Muchen move closer to the carpenter emperor when the time comes.
As for the poem on the back of this jade dragon chair, it is actually the key to this chair.
In the world of antiques, those who are clever counterfeiters. The fakes they produce can almost reach the point of being fake. Not only can they be fooled, but many ordinary collectors, and even many experts, sometimes look at their works.
Even if it takes a long time, they are likely to be deceived by the works they have made.
So in order to distinguish between these fakes and real antiques, after they make those fine works, they often leave a mark in a corner of the work, or a signature, or a flaw or something.
In this way, the next time they see such a work, they can see the flaws they have left behind by just one glance, so that they can have an estimate of the work
At the same time, this flaw will also remind those who specialize in distinguishing the authenticity of this antique.
And the poem on the back of this jade dragon chair is actually a flaw deliberately left by Jin Muchen, but Yoshihiko Noda used this poem as a breakthrough to sell this jade dragon chair like the two Mitsui brothers.
And this is also the genius of Yoshihiko Noda, nine out of ten sentences are true, but only one sentence is false, but it is this false sentence that just strengthens the confidence of the Mitsui brothers.
For example, when he introduced this chair to the Mitsui brothers before, when he talked about the structure and shape of this jade dragon chair, it can be said that the head is the Tao, and the expression is completely an expert in Chinese antique furniture.
It was his well-founded words that moved Mitsui Takazu, and even the more he listened to him, the more he felt that what he said made sense.
In the end, he used the miscellaneous poem carved on the back of the chair to conclude that this chair was the imperial work of the Ming Dynasty, and even linked this one to the carpenter emperor.
And with the foreshadowing before him, the Mitsui brothers, these two half-bucket sinologists, have completely fallen into the pit he dug at this time.
And this poem, in fact, happens to be the flaw in this chair.
Because this miscellaneous poem is indeed recorded in the Ming Dynasty's court chronicle "Ming Palace Miscellaneous Songs", and it is indeed related to the carpenter emperor, but in fact, it was not created by the carpenter emperor himself, nor was it used to praise this chair, in fact, the miscellaneous poem was used to praise another set of works of the carpenter emperor.
If someone with a heart can find out here in the future, they will definitely be able to understand that this jade dragon chair is a fake.
But now the Mitsui brothers are planning to go crazy for this fake at the end.
"Watanabe-kun, are you going to make a move on this thing? It can't be your friend's, right? ”
Mitsui Takazu looked at Junichi Watanabe and asked with a smile, the more he looked at this jade dragon chair, the more he liked it, and he planned to buy it and take it home and sit on it for a few days by himself.
After a while, after he was recognized by the old man and stabilized his position in the family, he could take out this chair and enjoy it openly.
The works of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, such a chair, just show it to others, he doesn't plan to take it out and display it on a large scale, because he still wants to sit down.
But the premise of all this is that he has to buy this chair first today.
And Watanabe listened to Mitsui's question at this time, and he also shook his head with a helpless wry smile: "You guessed right, Mr. Mitsui, this chair is really my friend's." Gentlemen, let me say that you have sold a lot of good things today, and I will tell you the truth, if you want to collect all these things, and you want to spend so much money, it is almost impossible. And you're going to have to spend countless hours flying around the world and going to all sorts of auctions to get all these treasures......"
Watanabe said these words, although Mitsui Takazu wanted to deny it, he had to admit in his heart that what he said made sense.
Although I spent a lot of money today, I was able to win so many treasures, and those money were not spent in vain.
Otherwise, if you want to collect all these things that you have collected today, it will definitely take a few years, or even more than ten years, and participate in various auctions to finally take down the things, how much will it cost?
So Watanabe is right, but what does he mean by saying these things at this time?
"Gentlemen, I mean, you've got a lot of good stuff to date, and it's time to go back and admire your spoils. There's no need, it's hard for me to continue pestering here. You know, I sold you all the stuff today, but I haven't communicated with my friend yet, he will definitely be furious when he finds out, I have to take a lot of money, and I have a lot of time, and I have to convince him sincerely, which will take a lot of energy. If you take this chair away at the end, then I really can't continue to be friends with my friends. And it's also very important that if he doesn't be friends with me, then I'll be in trouble, and you should also know that the person who can get such antiques is definitely not an ordinary person, and he happens to be the kind of person that even Tomoda Brief History doesn't want to provoke, so Mr. Mitsui, please don't be embarrassed for me this time. ”
Watanabe was talking about sincerity, and it was a bit of a tearful experience, and Mitsui believed that what he said was true.
To be able to find such a treasure in China and get it to Japan is certainly not something that a second-rate thug like Watanabe can do, and these are all the credit of his friend.
If this jade dragon chair is forcibly taken down this time, then Watanabe really won't be able to explain to his friends.
If Mitsui Takazu is a person who knows how to advance and retreat and understands others, then he will definitely stop at this time, but he happens to be the kind of person who doesn't understand advance and retreat at all, and he doesn't understand how to understand others.
What's more critical is that Watanabe's status makes him unable to understand and respect at all.
"Watanabe-kun, don't think so much? I think you are also very aware of the preciousness of this jade dragon chair, so I am going to decide on this chair. As for if your friend is unhappy and wants to make it difficult for you, then you can call me, didn't I leave you my private number before? And this is Japan, what are you afraid of? There are more than 1,000 people in your Jichun Society, if you can't handle it by then, just contact me, and I will do my best to help you. ”
Mitsui Takazu said to Junichi Watanabe with a smile, the meaning is also very clear, you can just open it at the price, regardless of this thing, you can't sell it today.
As for what kind of trouble you will get in the end, that's your own business.
I will earn as much money as you want, how to settle it in the end, it depends on your own ability, you have the ability, just use the money I gave you to settle your friend, if you can't do it, then you can just call me, as for whether I have time to pay attention to you at that time, it is not easy to say.
