Chapter 141: Can't See Clearly
2-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, island country, Cocoonyama Ryusendo
"Sodisney...... Ye Gongzi, I see that your beautiful assistant is right, your plate is small and fine, my blue and white porcelain bowl is big and beautiful, I am very interested in your blue and white porcelain plate during the Ming Dynasty, I don't know if your Excellency can cut love? The price is negotiable. ”
Cocoon Mountain Kogoro is not a natural antique dealer, but this guy has been immersed in the antique shop for 20 years, and he has learned a lot of family skills, and he knows that the two things in front of him now, one is lost, and one is not necessarily prosperous, and this Ye Gongzi's ability to appreciate ancient ceramics is by no means below him.
If you suppress the opponent with the status and prestige of Cocoon Mountain Longquantang in the industry, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, in Kogoro's own opinion, the other party's blue and white porcelain plate is obviously more beautiful than his own blue and white porcelain bowl, and the door is more real, is there really such a coincidental thing in the world, and his own treasure that he spent 2 million to collect is actually a high-imitation fake? !
Xiao Wulang is really afraid of this mysterious gentleman from the Maple Leaf Country, and he is ashamed to say that his Ming Chenghua bowl with a price of 30 million is a fake, and this lawsuit will be fought, and Cocoon Mountain Longquantang can't afford to lose, the other party is just an antique collector, and it doesn't affect anything, and the reputation of Cocoon Mountain Longquantang can't be hurt.
Therefore, Xiao Wulang decided to buy the small plate in the other party's hand for the first time, speaking of which, he was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but he was really afraid of comparing goods, and when he didn't see Jiang Yelin's small blue and white porcelain plate, Xiao Goro felt that he had picked up this blue and white porcelain bowl how to look at it and how it was eye-catching.
Now the two blue and white porcelain are placed side by side on the black velvet cushion of the coffee table, and the comparison is distinct, from the glaze to the painting to the layout, to the carcass decoration, Jiang Yelin's small plate is better, and the shopkeeper of the Cocoon Mountain family feels that even if the price is a little higher, he can buy Jiang Yelin's plate, and he will not lose!
"Cut love? How can it be done, Kogoro shopkeeper, I came to Tokyo to collect a few fine pieces from my antique colleagues, you know, money is not a problem for me, the key is that things are good, and the quality of the door has to be inherited, and you may have heard that I was a guest appraiser yesterday, and I helped the Inoue family sell almost 40 million yen of porcelain at the market......"
As soon as Jiang Yelin's words fell, Bai Suzhen had already said, "Shopkeeper Xiaogolang, yesterday there was a Ming Chenghua porcelain that was finally sold for 28 million, oh, my young master didn't take a fancy to that kind of thing, but he only accepted this small plate, how can you cut love!" ”
"Uh...... This one...... It's really hard to do! Xiao Golang's eyes rolled a little and he didn't know what to do, Jiang Yelin and Bai Suzhen's voiceovers he could hear, and the Ming blue and white porcelain that could be photographed for 28 million yen was not in the vision of this Ye Gongzi, so the market value of his small plate should be at least more than 28 million yen.
"This, in fact, Kogoro's shopkeeper, I am still a measured person, at most, I don't think I have seen your blue and white porcelain bowl, isn't this over......" Jiang Ye Linyun said lightly.
"No, no, no, Ye Gongzi, you completely misunderstood, the contemptible person didn't mean that, Longquantang really appreciates your little plate very much, and the contemptible shop is willing to ...... I am willing to pay a high price of 30 million yen to buy your small plate! ”
Cocoon Mountain Kogoro offered a high price of 30 million yen, and while saying that he was almost dripping blood in his heart, his blue and white porcelain bowl was only purchased for 2 million yen, and now he is ready to buy someone's small plate at a 15 times higher price! How can this really be embarrassing?
"30 million? I don't think it's as good as this, I paid 30 million yen to buy the Ming Chenghua blue and white porcelain bowl in Longquantang, Kogoro, what do you think?! "Jiang Yelin's answer was unexpected, even Bai Suzhen couldn't understand it!" Nani?! Ye Gongzi, what do you mean by this? The contemptible person really doesn't understand what you mean...... "Xiao Goro is also confused, this Ye Gongzi not only doesn't plan to sell his own small plate, but he actually wants to buy his own bowl at a high price?" Could it really be a fortune boy? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Not so stupid, right?
In the antique business, there are really a lot of allusions to people who are stupid and have money to come quickly, but the Ye Gongzi of the Maple Leaf Country in front of him definitely does not belong to that category, and he can help the Inoue family sell a bunch of not very valuable Ming blue and white porcelain for 40 million yen, that is definitely a master, and the exquisite porcelain plate in front of him during the Ming blue and white Chenghua period is obviously not something that ordinary people can buy casually. "I think so, of course, the Ming blue and white porcelain fonts are similar in italics, which is nothing unusual, but two identical styles appear on porcelain of different sizes, this can not become a good story, rare is expensive, we are also a double yellow egg, so, I plan to simply collect these two pieces of porcelain together, please Kogoro shopkeeper to complete the ......"
Jiang Yelin said something wrong, but Xiao Wulang rubbed his hands and shook his head when he heard it, and muttered in his heart, no, things are not so simple, there is a cat here, this surname Ye is just an appearance, in fact, he is a hidden master, if you can't get it, the signboard of Longquantang in Cocoon Mountain will be smashed on the blue and white porcelain bowl worth 30 million in front of you! "What? Does the shopkeeper of Kogoro refuse to cut his love? That's okay, it's okay......" As soon as Jiang Yelin said this, Xiao Wulang's face turned red and said, "It's not a matter of refusing to cut love, two porcelains with different sizes, different borders, but identical handwriting, if they are in the world, they will inevitably cause a sensation, and I am afraid that they will not be able to explain it in vain, as Ye Gongzi said at the beginning, it is likely that one of them is a high-quality imitation fake, which is very tricky...... Ye Gongzi, I, Longquantang, am willing to pay a high price of 40 million yen, no matter what, please fulfill the contemptible wishes! "40 million? Not suitable, too expensive...... How about $300,000? It's 36.9 million yen, and because I didn't stay in Tokyo for a long time, it's more convenient to trade in US dollars. “
Jiang Yelin did not accept the bid of 40 million yen, but lowered the price to 36.9 million yen, almost giving Kogoro a nine-percent discount, don't you say, if this small plate is auctioned at Christie's, the transaction price will be at least between 300,000-500,000 US dollars, and it is difficult to say if it is high, so Ye Gongzi is still very kind.
Bai Suzhen has seen more than once that the buyer offered a high price, but the seller took the initiative to cut the strange scene of a low price, yesterday in the Asakusa antique market on Jiang Yelin, and today in this cocoon mountain Longquantang such a century-old famous store in the industry, the same is true, the girl couldn't help laughing, and laughed on the side. "Soga...... US dollars...... Well, thanks to Ye Gongzi, it will be a $300,000 deal! I asked someone to prepare to buy and sell documents...... "Kogoro touched his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head, just now he shouted out the high price of 40 million yen, but his heart was really painful, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to make a nine-fold discount in one breath, it seems that this Ye Gongzi is really a freewheeling guy!
Cocoon Mountain Longquantang is a big store, Kogoro ordered to go down, not long after the purchase and sale documents were complete, both sides signed and pledged, the Ming Chenghua entwined branch lotus pattern and hoof lotus blue and white porcelain plate bought from the Inoue family at a high price, it was purchased by Cocoon Mountain Longquantang at a price of 300,000 US dollars.
Bai Suzhen looked at it on the sidelines and didn't know what it was like, Jiang Yelin, this guy didn't make sense to be an antique dealer, and he spent a total of 50,000 US dollars to buy 3 pieces of Ming blue and white porcelain from Inoue's house, how much effort is this? The smallest one came to Longquantang and sold it directly for a high price of 300,000 US dollars, a full 6 times the profit!
After Jiang Yelin and Bai Suzhen put away the transaction documents signed by both parties and the check for 300,000 US dollars issued by Longquan Hall in Cocoon Mountain, she whispered a few words to the beautiful police inspector, Bai Suzhen nodded when she heard this, and Jiang Yelin said to Xiao Wulang with a smile, "I want to start the matter, let Su Su go and do it for me first, the shopkeeper won't be surprised, right?" "Actually, Jiang Yelin is afraid of long nights and dreams, don't ask Xiao Golang, the smiling tiger, to tease him with a blank check, it will be a loss of face, so he asked Bai Suzhen to go out to the nearby Mitsubishi Bank to put the check of 300,000 US dollars directly into the account he opened." Where is it, although Assistant Bai is busy, do you want me to send a car to pick you up? Xiao Goro's posture was high, and he took the initiative to offer his courtesy, at this time, Jiang Yelin was not in a hurry to leave, which made the cocoon mountain shopkeeper take a reassurance, of course, he is still very confident in his eyesight, just spent 300,000 US dollars to buy this Ming Chenghua blue and white porcelain plate, although it is not cheap, but it is definitely a boutique worth collecting! It's not difficult to change hands in the future, and it's not difficult to double the earnings!
However, when Kogoro bought this blue and white porcelain plate with a twig lotus pattern and a hoof lily, he was ready to collect it as a treasure of the town hall, and the blue and white porcelain bowl that almost damaged the reputation of himself and Longquantang could be sold as soon as possible, so as not to have more trouble! "It's near Nihonbashi, not far away, just go and come! There is no need to pick up and drop, thank you to the shopkeeper, so, Su Su will retire for the time being! Bai Suzhen got up and stood up with her kun bag, and the maid on the side hurriedly led the way out.
Xiao Wulang called Takagi Dalang in, and also gave a few words in his ear, Takagi Hai nodded, and owed to Jiang Yelin, who was sitting on the sofa and lit a cigarette, and also went out, obviously the shopkeeper of the Cocoon Mountain family did not give up, and his curiosity was too strong, so he called the Takagi brothers to follow Bai Suzhen, but I want to see where this beautiful assistant is going! "Cocoon Mountain shopkeeper, in fact, there is no need to work hard for your subordinates to run this trip, my assistant went to the nearby Nihonbashi Mitsubishi Bank to do some business, and it is estimated that he will be back in half an hour......" Jiang Yelin smiled and teased Xiao Golang, who was seated, and the other party was not lightly squeezed, but this guy's next sentence almost didn't make the cocoon mountain shopkeeper faint:
"Shopkeeper, in the Song and Yuan Porcelain Museum on the second floor of your store, there was a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain with a price of 100 million, it seems that it is a little difficult to see......" Jiang Yelin said unhurriedly.
