Chapter 898: Repurchase of Cultural Relics (5)
Wuyang smiled and said, "Mr. Matthew, this thing will definitely not work." The climate in Canada is cold, and the place where I plan to raise red deer belongs to the tropics, and I'm afraid the red deer can't adapt to it. ”
"You can raise it in the north of your country."
"The vegetation in the northwest of our country is scarce, and there are elk and moose in the northeast, which cannot be raised. By the way, it should be possible in Siberia. ”
Matthew said: "There used to be red deer there, but now there are probably very few. Russians do not pay attention to animal protection. ”
"Our company bought some land there to plant trees, and we can buy some to go for stocking."
"Okay, after our transaction is over, you arrange for someone to come to me, and I am obliged to help you buy red deer. By the way, Mr. Lai, I am a member of the green environmental protection organization, and I often volunteer to do something that is good for the environment. ”
"Your thoughts are noble and worthy of our respect."
"Thank you."
The hunters came to the side of the road and began to clean up the results, there were two, there were four, Mike took eight, and the afternoon sun was eighteen. Mike said, "Mr. Lai, you have set a new record for us, and the prize is yours." ”
Arthur said: "Mr. Li should have hit 19, and one was eaten by the horned eagle, and the one I saw was a pheasant feather, which should be recorded in the record." ”
Wuyang smiled, he didn't talk about feeding the two, it doesn't matter, this record has little to do with him. While picking up pheasants into their backpacks, the horned eagles returned, still two. One landed on Wuyang's head, and with his martial arts, he was almost knocked unconscious. When the other one landed on his arm, Arthur said, "Mr. Lai, the claws of the horned eagle." Can shatter a person's skull. You're not hurt, are you? ”
Wuyang said: "I was stunned. But the bones weren't broken. ”
Mike said, "It's a male and a female, and it looks like you saved one of them, and they're going to go with you." ”
"I can't take them, what should I do?"
Matthew said, "Stay with them as long as you are here, and if you leave, they will go back to the mountains." ”
"That's all it can be."
This time it was a bus, and Wuyang didn't care about them. Stay with them on top of their heads and arms. Back at the villa, they got out of the car and entered the house at noon, and they landed on the tree in front of the house. Before they ate, Wuyang cut pheasants and fed them.
After Xie Daxia and the others came back, they roasted the pheasants and the fish they caught, and began to drink and eat, and when they were full of food, Mr. Mack proposed to play Texas Hold'em, but Wuyang refused on the grounds that he had played all night last night. Arthur brought up the trade in antiquities.
"Mr. Li, there are not many cultural relics in the eight of them. We plan for your family to trade in half a day. Mr. Mike and I have a lot of them, and it takes 4 days each. If you don't have enough time, or if there are other reasons, Mr. Mike and I can trade later. ”
Wuyang guessed that the other reasons he said must be whether the funds are enough, and then Pei Lei said: "Mr. Arthur, Mr. Li came here this time, he has made full preparations, there is no problem with time and funds, it is just a price, I hope you all show enough sincerity, otherwise it may not be possible to negotiate." ”
Mike said: "Mr. Lai's deal with Mr. Ike and Mr. Jonny, they have informed us, we can't take their trading method. ”
Pei Lei said: "What kind of transaction is adopted, of course Mr. Li must obey you." However, I think it should be convenient and fast. ”
Mike picked up the coffee cup, "For example, I have 10 identical cups, I will ask Mr. Li to look at the goods first, and then I will quote, Mr. Li agrees that the deal can be made immediately, and if he does not agree, he can bargain, and the deal will be made until both parties are satisfied. ”
Wuyang heard that Mike's psychological warfare had begun. He can sell it or not, I can buy it or not," Mr. Mike, this is the best. My home museum has collected a lot of cultural relics, if it is a duplicate, I don't need to occupy funds, the price is right or not, I will not buy it. ”
Arthur said, "That won't work, right? Mr. Li picked the one he liked, and who did he sell the rest to? ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "Everyone's interests and hobbies are different, and the understanding of cultural relics is also different, what I don't want is not that I can't look down on it, but because I am worried that it will take up too much money and hinder the purchase of other missing cultural relics." ”
Arthur said: "Mr. Lai, in the world of cultural relics collection, there is a habit of exchanging cultural relics with each other, you can buy cultural relics back and exchange them with other museums." ”
"It is indeed exchangeable. But our actual situation makes it impossible for us to exchange with others. We don't have the cultural relics of other people's museums, that is, one or two treasures of the town museum, and they will not exchange the treasures of the town hall with us. We don't have many cultural relics in our state-level Palace Museum, but they can't be exchanged with others. So, there are too few opportunities for exchange. ”
What Wuyang said was reasonable, and they had nothing to refute. After a pause, Mike said, "Mr. Li, I think you are right, each person's understanding of cultural relics is different, and the price of affirmation psychology is also different. In this way, when we make a transaction, we can first reach a deal of intent and then go back to talk about those differences, which will be much faster. ”
"Okay." Wuyang said with a smile. In fact, I was thinking in my heart, you are the seller, you urgently need to sell, and the initiative should be in my hands. It's better to do this, the first time, even if I fancy it, I said I didn't like it, I'm not afraid that you won't reduce the price, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to pick up the leak.
"Mr. Li, our prize can be awarded to you." After Mike finished speaking, he took out a blue and white porcelain peony twig vase from the safe, Wuyang looked at it with true qi, the purple gas was very strong, and then took it to see the style, it was the Ming Wanli year, this kind of Wanli porcelain, found a lot in the lake of Lanjiang, I saw a lot, and I knew that this piece must be true. The current price in China should be between 800,000 and 1 million, and Mike said that it is worth 150,000 US dollars, indicating that he has a relatively accurate grasp of the price of Chinese porcelain, and Wuyang's confidence in picking up leaks has decreased by another point. The trading method he just said has basically blocked the possibility of picking up leaks. Well, don't always try to pick up the leaks, let alone this morning. It also won nearly 60 billion.
"Thank you. Thank you, gentlemen. Wuyang held up the prize and said loudly.
Arthur said, "Mr. Lai." You deserve it. In the future, if your record is broken, we will ask you to present the award. ”
"Okay, I'll fight for it."
Arthur said, "Mr. Lai, you don't play poker, do you go to rest or work?" ”
Wuyang said, "Let's work for a few hours first." I went to bed too early, I woke up too early, and I couldn't work. ”
Mike said, "Okay. Did we sign a contract for the grain trade? Mr. Ike and Mr. Jonny have initialed the contract with you, and our prices and grain standards are exactly according to their arrival, and all that needs to be negotiated is the quantity and the time and place of delivery. ”
Wuyang asked, "Do you all have grain to sell for all 10 gentlemen?" ”
Mike said, "Yes." Mr. Arthur and I mainly eat wheat and corn, but also some soybeans, Mr. Matthew is soybeans and corn, and the other gentlemen are all rice. ”
"What is your total production?"
Arthur smiled, "Mr. Li, are you going to eat it all?" ”
Wuyang said: "I want to buy more, I want to eat them all." I don't have enough appetite. ”
Arthur said, "I'm kidding, we actually have our own sales channels. It's just that the sales volume is not enough. ”
Pei Lei smiled and said: "The payment for the goods is often not recovered. ”
"It's hard to get it back, but not often," Mike said. For example, we sell to domestic retailers, to the United Nations Relief Programme, to your government, and the payment is received in a timely manner. Besides, which company doesn't have receivables? ”
Pei Lei said: "Gentlemen, if you sell to domestic retailers and the United Nations Relief Agency, the state does not give export subsidies, if you sell to Mr. Li, the payment and subsidies will be available, and if he increases the amount of goods, you will also reduce the pressure on storage and the losses caused by mildew and insect pests." Gentlemen, do you think you can give Mr. Li a preferential treatment? ”
Arthur and the others went to discuss, and the people of Wuyang had nothing to discuss. Anyway, according to the price of Ike and Jonny, I won't suffer a loss.
After a while, Mike said, "Mr. Li, we think about it this way, if you buy 1 million tons from one person, the price is still according to Mr. Ike and Mr. Jonny, more than 1 million tons, we can discount 10 dollars per ton." ”
Arthur said, "Mr. Lai, you should know that if we sell the same amount of grain, our price is lower than that of Ike and theirs, and we will be looked down upon by them. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Understand, understand." Gentlemen, if our volume exceeds 1 million tons, then our transaction price, $10 per tonne less, am I right? ”
This question must be clarified and a precise definition must be given. Because it can be understood that all transaction prices are discounted by 10 US dollars, and it can also be understood that more than 1 million tons are discounted. In the past, some delegations in China suffered a lot because such details were not determined. Wuyang also read a piece of information, before the victory of World War II, when the Yalta Convention was signed, it was to be formally signed the next day, and a senior staff officer of the delegation found that the convention only wrote that Taiwan should be returned to China, but not the Penghu Islands, and immediately made a request, so the Penghu Islands were able to be returned to China smoothly, and if it was not for the seriousness and meticulousness at that time, the Penghu Islands would definitely be the same as the Ryukyu Islands, and it would be difficult to recover. Of course, things are not so big now, but 1 million tons, there are also 10 million dollars, and no one's money is picked up on the road.
Matthew said, "Yes, Mr. Lai, your understanding is completely correct. Because we have a lot of people, you can only buy a lot, so in order to show our sincerity, we have made concessions. ”
"Thank you. Gentlemen, the price we negotiated is still the CIF price, and it is still the packaging deducted, right? ”
Matthew smiled and said, "Mr. Li, the CIF price is certain." But after deducting the weight of the package, you actually lose out. Take soybeans as an example, 100 kilograms of packaging is 1 kilogram, but you can never buy a sack with the money you pay for one kilogram of soybeans. ”
Wuyang said: "I choose to bulk, not sacks. ”
Arthur said: "Bulk has no effect on our shipment, but the choice of ships is narrower. ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "The trade between China and the United States is so busy now, I believe that the gentlemen will have a way." ”
Mike said, "Okay, we'll do what Mr. Li asked." Mr. Lai. As Mr. Ike did. There is no deposit fee. We're still a little worried. ”
Pei Lei said: "Grains are prone to problems, and the deposit must not be paid. However, if the gentlemen sign a formal purchase and sale contract with Mr. Lai, our bank can provide Mr. Li with an unlimited trust guarantee. Mr. Lai's company is a major customer of our bank's branch in China, and we are willing to issue a letter of guarantee to reassure you. ”
"Okay, that's fine."
Contracts were signed with seven rice producers. 1.2 million tonnes are purchased from each of them each year, for a total of 8.4 million tonnes. Signed a contract with Mike and Arthur to purchase 3 million tons of wheat, 3.5 million tons of corn and 1.5 million tons of soybeans. Signed a contract with Matthew to purchase 2 million tons of soybeans and 1.5 million tons of corn.
Later, a contract was signed for the purchase of some old grain, but rice and soybeans were not wanted, and corn and wheat were not wanted. Wuyang knew that corn and wheat were easy to grow worms, and what was left was an empty shell.
It is said to be a contract, but in fact it is still a letter of intent, a formal contract. Arrange for someone else to sign it. After getting it done, Mr. Mack and they played Texas Hold'em. Xie Daxia also participated, Li Xize went to be a dealer, and Wuyang and Pei Lei rested first.
The next morning, when he went out, he saw the horned eagle rushing towards him, and quickly stretched out his arm, although he was infused with true qi, he was still smashed and hurt. The horned eagle quacked and flapped its wings, and Wuyang thought that something might be wrong, so he walked under the tree. They were seen making a nest in the grass with 4 eggs in it. The bird's egg is the size of a goose's egg, and the shell is light white and covered with large and small black spots.
Seeing Mike come out, Wuyang said, "Mr. Mike, what should I do?" ”
Mike smiled and said, "Let's go to Matthew, he has a way." ”
Wuyang went to find a pheasant and prepared to cut meat to feed the horned eagle, but was snatched away by the horned eagle. The two horned eagles share a pheasant, and it is eaten in a few minutes.
Matthew washed up, and Wuyang asked, "Mr. Matthew, what should I do?" ”
"Mr. Li, you decided you didn't want them, did you?"
Wuyang smiled: "I like them, but no matter how much I like them, I can't bring them back." ”
"Yes. The strength of the horned eagle's legs is too great for pets. I have two of them at home, and they killed both of them. That's right, when you come to my house and help me bring the eggs, the bighorned eagle will follow if you want. ”
"Do you still want to raise?"
"Yes. My farm is relatively large, and the rat infestation is more serious, and since I raised the horned eagle, it has been controlled. Some of my friends want to buy horned eagles from me, just enough for a few of them. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "It's very good to be able to sell it for money." ”
Matthew said: "Actually, you have to lose money. Don't look at the 4 eggs, after hatching, the strongest one, will tear the other three apart and eat, the remaining one to sexual maturity, if you can't be a mate, will fly away, my horned eagle raised for a few years, the little horned eagle did not keep. Now there are two litters, and if there is a female and a male who survive, they can be sold, otherwise it will be for nothing. ”
"Can't you be locked up and raised?"
"If you lock it up and raise it, you lose the meaning of raising. They have to eat one chicken a day, which is not a small cost. ”
drank milk, ate butter bread fried eggs, went to pick up bird eggs at noon, and the horned eagle relied on him, standing on his arm on the left and right, and Xie Daxia took the luggage. got into the car, and the hero smiled and said, "Wuyang, buddy will give you luggage, how much is the tip?" ”
Li Xize didn't know their relationship, so he said: "Mr. Xie, you are such a big boss, do you have to tip for a luggage?" ”
"This is the rule in the United States, you don't seem to have returned the tip I gave you last night."
Li Xize said: "I dealt you such a good card, how much did you win?" ”
Wuyang asked: "Hero, did you kill all sides again last night?" ”
Daxia said: "It's too small to play, it's boring, and I won more than 500 million." ”
"You're so embarrassed, if you get this money to our Zhongnan, you are the richest man, are you not satisfied?"
"Dude, this is the finale, of course we have to win more. Wuyang, I found that only with you can I win money. I used to come to the U.S. and go to the casino no less than 50 times, and every time I lost. I won the day before yesterday and won again yesterday. I don't think it's a strategy, gambling or something, it's just luck, so I decided to take it when I see it and stop playing in the future. ”
Pei Lei said: "Hero, Wuyang hasn't left yet, you can continue to play." Otherwise, you will take charge of Wuyang and help him get his losses back. ”
The hero said, "Wuyang, how much have you lost?" ”
"Not much, less than 2 billion."
Xie Daxia smiled and said, "I just won so much." Wuyang, if you want to gamble money in the future, just look for me and give me the money directly. ”
"Dream your dreams. It's my first and last time. ”
"Don't gamble to pull down, just when I washed my hands and went ashore, I was in my bag. Sleepy, sleep. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Hero, you can wash your hands, I won't eat." ”
"You can eat noodles without eating, and if you want to gamble, you can have some real money."
"Okay, if you gamble again in the future, you will give me half of the winnings."
"Yes. What about losing? ”
"Don't tell me if you lose, lest I say you don't believe in your word."
"Okay, accept your unequal treaty, and you can win money."
After the car walked for two hours, Matthew said, "Mr. Lai, the side of the road is my cultivated land." ”
"Is this a soybean sprout?"
"yes."
"So tall?" Wuyang has seen a large soybean field, in Siberia, the soybeans are ripe, the pole is only 3 or 40 centimeters high, here is now so high, in the future will have to spread the branches, the yield is still good.
"Everybody's like that, with yields of 8 to 10 tonnes per hectare. The root system of soybean seedlings can absorb and fix nitrogen fertilizer, and we generally rotate soybean and corn. Soybean seedlings can only be used as fertilizer, corn stalks can be used to raise cattle, and cow dung is also fertilizer. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Mr. Matthew's farm is running very well. ”
"There is no way, my grandfather bought the farm, and I don't have much power, so I can only try to run it as well as possible. Fortunately, there are a group of friends from Mr. Mack, who have similar backgrounds and experiences, and have the same interests and hobbies, so they are also comfortable. ”
"Mr. Matthew, why did you sell the artifacts in your house?"
"My grandfather didn't have the experience of leading troops to fight abroad, but he had more friends and received a lot of cultural relics. In the past two years, the price of cultural relics in China has soared, and we discussed it and wanted to realize it. Cultural relics, like everything else, have ups and downs, and it is normal for them to rise and fall all the time. Also, because of their high value, they are also afraid that people will covet them. ”
Wuyang smiled: "Mr. Matthew is far-sighted. China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and there have been more wealthy people, so the collection fever has arisen. If everyone tends to be rational in the future, the price of cultural relics will definitely fall, and it is a good choice to sell now. ”
"Yes. A country's cultural relics, only when they are recognized by everyone, can truly have the significance of maintaining and increasing their value. At present, the price of the paintings of some famous European artists is dozens of times that of the paintings of famous Chinese artists, not that the paintings of European artists are so good, the key is that people do not think that China is worth this price. I don't know what's good about some of my Chinese paintings at home. (To be continued......)
