Chapter 335: Attack Again

PS: Ask for support again at the traffic light!! Let's crack down on unscrupulous auction houses abroad!!

Yu Fei smiled and said nothing, as if he wanted to hear Lewis's compensation conditions.

In fact, Yu Fei can know that the age of this crystal pot is more than 1,000 years, but the value of the crystal pot is still unclear. Although the value of antiques is related to the age to a certain extent, it is not absolute. It's as if the price of many Yuan blue and white flowers is more expensive than the porcelain of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty.

He was eager to learn the exact value of the crystal cup from Lewis's mouth.

"Sir, there is an old Chinese saying that a gentleman will not rob others of what they like. This crystal cup has been handed down from my ancestors, and I hope you will give it back to me. Rest assured, I will pay you back the price and commission you offered. Lewis said.

In his opinion, Yu Fei's age is very young, and he seems to be very talkative, so he temporarily changed his mind and never mentioned the compensation, but only said that the original price would be returned.

Sotheby's translators immediately translated Lewis's words to Yu Fei.

In fact, Yu Fei's English was good when he was in college, and before he came to London, he also made up for two days, because of the assistance of chaotic qi, the entry of English can be described as a thousand miles in a day. Now, if he is asked to take the English level 4 or 6 again, Yu Fei will be able to easily get a full score.

However, he really didn't want to communicate in English when it came to Lewis.

Listening to the translator's words, Yu Fei smiled even more happily.

The people around him talked a lot, and they all felt that this Lewis was a little too thick-skinned.

Lewis didn't know why Yu Fei was laughing, so he could only laugh dryly.

"The old Chinese saying you said is that a gentleman does not take away the beauty of others." Yu Fei said: "But since this crystal pot was consigned by you. I bought it, so how can I take it? Could it be that your crystal cup was snatched by Sotheby? Then you should go to Sotheby. ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Lewis waved his hand repeatedly.

Yu Fei's words were obviously pretending to be confused. Lewis also knew that if he didn't pay some price, Yu Fei would not be able to agree to transfer the crystal cup.

"Well, sir, I'll pay you an additional £10,000 in compensation, along with all your expenses. £10,000 is not a small amount, you should be satisfied, right? "Lewis is willing to give 10,000 pounds. In his opinion, Yu Fei is very young. There shouldn't be much money. And in comparison, China is also relatively poor, this 10,000 pounds. Converted into RMB, it will cost more than 100,000. It must be a very attractive attraction to such a young man, right? In a few hours, you can earn 100,000 yuan without doing anything, and Lewis doesn't think there is any reason to refuse to fly.

But he ignored. If Yu Fei was really as he imagined. How could he go to London for an auction, and how could he spend 220,000 pounds to buy such a crystal pot?

Some people may think that Lewis was misled by William, and knew that Yu Fei had shouted the wrong price to pay 220,000 pounds.

But he ignored it, if this was really the case, then how could Yu Fei choose to trade immediately? He could have delayed trading for a month or two, or even refused to trade.

However, these details were completely ignored by Lewis in a hurry.

For Lewis's stinginess, Yu Fei scoffed. This person even wants to fool himself. It's really not enough to give up on the Yellow River! Lewis's character and impression lie in Fei's heart plummeting, and naturally he will not give him some convenience. Originally, although he knew that this crystal cup was more than a thousand years old. But in the first place, it is unlikely that this thing is a Chinese art, and I don't know anything about it, so it is not impossible to transfer it, but Lewis's behavior is too insincere.

"Compared to the price and compensation, I am more like the origin of the crystal cup." Yu Fei said: "If this crystal cup is really something handed down by your ancestors, it is not impossible to transfer it to you. ”

Yu Fei actually wanted to use Lewis's words to know the origin of this crystal cup.

"It's—" Lewis had a look of embarrassment on his face.

He glanced at William, who nodded.

Lewis breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This crystal cup is indeed something that has been handed down from my ancestors. It has a history of more than 100 years, and it was a wine vessel that was introduced from China back then, and it was used by my grandfather to hold wine. ”

Lewis said something similar to William's introduction at the auction, and everyone didn't think anything out of the ordinary.

But Yu Fei smiled and said, "Really? But in my opinion, this crystal cup is not like this at all. Because—"

Yu Fei paused when he said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on Lewis's eyes, and he said word by word: "This crystal cup has been inherited for more than a thousand years!" ”

"Huh?! How do you know the truth?! Lewis has also done business with many Chinese antique dealers, so he can also understand some simple Chinese, and Yu Fei's words just now are very slow, so Lewis also understands. He didn't expect that Yu Fei had already seen that this crystal cup was more than a thousand years old, which made Lewis's hope of getting through the test be dashed.

"What? Is this true? "A lot of people are talking!

"Sotheby's introduction color page clearly says that this crystal cup is only more than 100 years old, how can it become a thousand years now? Could it be that Sotheby made a mistake in identification? ”

Some also held in their hands a small brochure of Sotheby's printed descriptions of the lots in the auction, with descriptions of crystal cups.

"It doesn't matter how I know it." Yu Fei said: "The important thing now is, do you still think that the compensation of 10,000 pounds is appropriate? ”

"I'm sorry sir." Lewis apologized very sincerely. By now, he had already known that Yu Fei's "stupidity" was pretended, in fact, this young man was very shrewd, he could see that this crystal cup was more than a thousand years old, and he was not overjoyed by 10,000 pounds. This young man is not simple. It seems that it is difficult to get the crystal cup back without "bleeding". Anyway, as long as you get the crystal cup back, then it's worth the price.

"I don't think I've been very clear about it, but what I'm trying to say is that for every £10,000 you pay, I'll compensate you £10,000. In other words, you spent 220,000 yuan to photograph this crystal cup, and I will compensate you for the payment plus commission, and I will also compensate you for another 220,000 pounds, so you should be satisfied, right? ”

What the? Everyone took a breath. Lewis had to pay twice the price to get the crystal pot back! And Yu Fei earned almost double the price without even leaving the room!

"Okay boy, you've earned it again!" Ye Jianjun smiled and said, "Sometimes I really doubt how your luck is so good, and good things can always be bumped into by you." ”

In a few hours, he made a net profit of 220,000 pounds, that is, 2.2 million yuan, which is indeed enviable.

Yu Fei said unashamedly: "Brother Ye, this is your mistake, I don't rely on any luck, we rely on eyesight and luck!" Something that has been touched by us will immediately be worth a hundred times! ”

"Gotcha, you're really gasping when you say you're fat. What do you think? Are you going to transfer this thing? Ye Jianjun scolded with a smile.

Although more than two million is not a small amount, it has not been placed in the eyes of Ye Jianjun and Yu Fei, so the two of them are very casual and do not look attracted at all. So Lewis was secretly anxious.

At this time, Yu Fei wanted to use this matter to hit Sosby! After all, the Yongxuan blue and white porcelain vase just now was a bit anticlimactic, and Yu Fei held his breath there and didn't let it out. Also depressed is Ye Jianjun. Ye Dashao was holding his breath this time, and he was going to make some stumbling blocks on Sosby's project after returning to China. Because of Ye Jianjun's obstruction, Sosby's entry into the mainland market was postponed for several years.

In the past few years, many foreign auction houses have rushed to the mainland market, which has made Sosby miss the best period of development and be in a disadvantageous market position in the later competition.

Yu Fei turned to Lewis and said: "It seems that this crystal bottle is really a thousand-year-old object, so why is it written in Southby's auction catalogue that it is only a hundred years, and the starting price is only two hundred pounds!" What's going on?

William and the other Sosby employees' faces changed. What should come is always coming, in the Yongle Qinghua matter just now, because of Margaret's avoidance, it was finally over. I thought that this turmoil would pass like this, but who would have thought that the auction would be over, and such a thing would happen.

This young man named Yu Fei is really holding a grudge! (To be continued......)
