Chapter 338: Twenty Million Pounds
PS: Traffic light please support!!
This old Mr. Bafaya really doesn't know how to do business, so he reveals the bottom to himself, so he doesn't worry about improving himself?
"Mr. Yu, I sincerely hope that you can transfer this crystal cup to me." Bafaya said sincerely.
Yu Fei's heart was a little hesitant, in fact, after learning how much the crystal cup was cherished, Yu Fei did have some thoughts, he wanted to exchange the crystal cup for some domestic treasured antiques back. Such a holy grail with a great history should be worth a lot of money, estimated to be worth tens of millions! However, if you buy tens of millions of Chinese antiques, you can't buy a few pieces, after all, the price of that Qianlong jade seal is more than 20 million! So what Yu Fei wanted was to exchange it for some rare antiques in the form of barter.
But Mr. Bafaya's attitude was so sincere, he told him everything he knew without reservation, and saved himself a lot of things, and if he didn't transfer it to him, he would really feel a little unhappy in his heart.
Let's just listen to the price he said. If, like Lewis, he wants to fish in troubled waters and offers a low price, then there is a reason to refuse him, and there will be no sorry thoughts.
"Mr. Bafaya. To tell you the truth, I don't know where this chalice came from, but I still like him very much. Yu Fei said nonsense. The reason why he bought this chalice was purely because he liked its age, and as for what he liked, it was not at all.
But Bafaya believed it and said with admiration: "Mr. Yu is a real collector, as a holy relic." Every true artist will love it. I know that the Tao is difficult for me to be strong. ”
At this time, Bafaya also knew that Yu Fei bought this holy grail at a price 1,100 times higher than the starting price, which made him have a very good impression of Fei! It seems that Yu Fei's high price is a sign of respect for the Holy Grail.
"Mr. Yu, I am willing to pay 20 million to buy your Holy Grail! Please also be able to cut love. Bafaya said.
Yu Fei nodded secretly. I think this Buffaya is much more honest than Lewis. It directly increased the price by nearly ten times. The price of 20 million is higher than Fei's expectations, but it is also expected.
Ye Jianjun was a little speechless, he really couldn't see that the crystal cups he bought for more than 200,000 yuan had caught up with the price of his Qianlong jade seal.
But again, Yu Fei is not short of money, he prefers barter.
Seeing that Yu Fei was hesitant, Bafaya was very nervous, he was worried that Yu Fei would refuse to trade! In his opinion, Yu Fei is the same as him. They are all very fond of the Crystal Grail.
"Mr. Yu, I feel very sorry! I know it's very difficult for you. £20 million isn't too low, but it's still too hard to get you to sell your beloved collection. But for the sake of our family legacy. Transfer the crystal cup to me. My family also has a good collection of Chinese art, and Mr. Yu can choose two pieces at will. Hope you are satisfied. ”
In order not to let Yu Fei refuse, Bafaya raised his weight again. He was able to let Yu Fei choose two pieces of Chinese art from his collection at random. As a descendant of the Fatima dynasty, the level of his collection will definitely not be low.
Yu Fei's eyes lit up. That's exactly what he wants. Originally, he thought it would be nice to be able to exchange one for one. I didn't expect Bafaya to be so generous, and while paying 20 million pounds, he was willing to let him choose two Chinese antiques. This was simply a big surprise to him.
Wait, what did Buffaya say just now, twenty million - pounds! Isn't that more than 200 million yuan?
Yu Fei's breathing suddenly became short. Although his assets exceeded 10 billion, and although he also had a few antiques worth more than 200 million yuan each, he was still stunned by such a high price.
When Bafaya said the price of 20 million, because of inertial thinking. Yu Fei thought that he was talking about 20 million yuan, but who would have thought that what Bafaya said was actually pounds!
And at this time. Ye Jianjun was already speechless. With his assets, he would not be so out of shape for 200 million, he just felt that the broken crystal pot that Yu Fei bought casually for 2 million had risen a hundredfold in just a few hours, reaching 200 million, and the other party still had a nervous expression, as if he was afraid that Yu Fei would refuse to trade! It's incredible! What kind of shit luck did Yu Fei, this kid go! I bragged to my friends in the circle all day long about how to pick up leaks, but compared with Yu Fei, the leaks I picked up were simply scum! Any one of Yu Fei's leaks is enough for him to say for a lifetime.
"Mr. Bafaya......" Yu Fei swallowed and spat, "I didn't hear clearly just now, you said 20 million pounds?" ”
He feared that he had misheard, or that it was just a slip of the tongue on the part of Mr. Bafaya.
But Yu Fei's words made Bafaya misunderstand that Yu Fei was too little, and hurriedly said, "Yes." However, if Mr. Yu thinks it is less, we can negotiate the price again. ”
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Although no one would think that he had a lot of money, Yu Fei was still embarrassed to increase the price again. Otherwise, he would feel that he was a little unkind, even though he had never been kind.
At this moment, only a grunt was heard, and a person suddenly fainted to the ground. Everyone saw that it was Lewis, who had just rushed in and claimed that the crystal cup was his ancestral heirloom!
He's really remorseful to death now.
Although 20 million pounds cannot be said to be astronomical, it is also something that many people will never earn in a lifetime.
Lewis has worked hard for more than ten years, and he has only made millions of pounds! But he personally gave 20 million pounds generously to this young Chinese man named Yu Fei!
If he didn't play those tricks when he first met Yu Fei, if he was willing to pay millions of pounds in compensation as soon as he came up, then Yu Fei was still very likely to transfer the crystal cup to him. After all, it was originally in Fei's heart, and the value of this crystal cup was around 10 million yuan.
But because of his stinginess, he let that only chance go!
And the conversation between Yu Fei and Bafaya also shocked everyone in the hall.
"Did I hear me right? The old man said he was willing to pay 20 million pounds for the crystal cup. Is this true? A man muttered to himself.
"That's true, this world is really crazy." His friend replied, "If this crystal cup is so valuable, then I would have just shouted two million pounds." ”
"Pull it down, even if you shout two million pounds, can you take it out on the spot?" The man next to him sneered, "Didn't you see what the gringo who fell just now did?" If the crystal cup hadn't been traded live by the young man and held tightly in his arms, I'm afraid you would have nothing to gain but a little compensation. ”
Although this man's words were not good, everyone nodded their heads. As soon as Lewis rushed through the door, he yelled at William to cancel the deal, which was heard by all.
"Even if you could come up with two million pounds, would you take it all out and buy such a crystal cup with a starting price of two hundred pounds and only a hundred years old?" Another person questioned.
His words quickly turned everyone's attention to Sosby!
Yes, Sotheby first made a mistake in identifying a £20 million Islamic chalice as a 19th-century £200 crystal wine vessel, which is a ridiculous difference.
And when Lewis rushed in to terminate the transaction, William asked the staff to bring the Holy Grail to Lewis without consulting the buyer! This kind of disrespect to the buyers also made the buyers present feel very atmospheric!
It can be said that the time of the Crystal Holy Grail has allowed many people to see Sotheby's true face clearly, which has made Sotheby repair the impact of this loss in the following months!
Although the fact of Yongle Qinghua's fraud has not been reported, Sosby's scandal at this auction is already very big.
After the incident, five senior managers involved in the Yongle blue and white fraud incident were dismissed. Because of the reputation of the auction house, Sotheby did not report it to the association, and did not disqualify them.
William smiled wryly, although he was not involved in the fraud, but because of today's performance, he could consider early retirement.
Everyone's attention was focused on Yu Fei's body.
Many people feel incredible, in the face of the huge temptation of 200 million yuan, why is Yu Fei still hesitating? What's there to hesitate about? In the eyes of many, this is a deal that is simply not to be refused.
But Yu Fei didn't speak for a long time, as if he was deliberately whetting their appetite.
Yu Fei's silence made Mr. Bafaya respect him more and more.
"Mr. Yu, what are you thinking about?" Eventually, Mr. Bafaya asked nervously again. (To be continued......)
