The reason why Yu Fei was so surprised was because what he saw turned out to be a jade cabbage!
"How is the other emerald cabbage with you?" Yu Fei was surprised.
Jade cabbage is the favorite of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and because of her relationship, the value of jade cabbage has long surpassed itself, and even above most national treasures, it is the treasure of the National Palace Museum in Taipei! Many people from the mainland will ask "Where is the jade cabbage?" as soon as they enter the National Palace Museum in Taipei? ”
This is evident in its popularity.
There are two jade cabbages, and the other one is said to have been given to Song Ziwen by Sun Dianying to avoid responsibility after stealing it, and Song Ziwen took it to the United States, and then disappeared. So Yu Fei always thought that it should be in the United States. At this time, how could he not be surprised to see another jade cabbage in the collection room of Bafaya?
Bafaya laughed but didn't say anything.
Yu Fei also realized that he had asked a very stupid question.
Most of the missing national treasures were not destroyed, or even buried deep in hidden places such as underground palaces like the original of the Yongle Canon, but were quietly treasured by a collector and played with by himself.
Before coming to Paris, Yu Fei had also imagined the astonishing collection of Buffaya. But Yu Fei, who thought he had a high vision, didn't think it would surprise him. But the moment he saw the jade cabbage, Yu Fei was surprised. And the idea of bringing the jade cabbage back to China came to life.
"Dear Mr. Bafaya......" Yu Fei hesitated for a moment, but still said stubbornly. Bafaya placed the jade cabbage in such a prominent position, and it is clear that he takes it very seriously. So will he agree to his own request?
"Huh?" Bafaya seemed to see through Yu Fei's thoughts, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"You should remember that in London I transferred to you the Holy Grail of your ancestors, and today I personally deliver the Scepter of Fatima to you. Now I would like to transfer back to you the twenty-five million pounds you gave me in London, and I may or may not do without the two Hongwu glaze red bottles that I used in exchange for the Fatimid scepter. Please let me bring the emerald cabbage back to where it was born. ”
Yu Fei didn't make a detour, but said directly.
It's not that he didn't think of deliberately lowering the price of the emerald cabbage, and then he could pay less.
But he quickly dispelled this absurd idea!
Who is Buffaya? Will he not know the true value of the emerald cabbage?
If Yu Fei does this. It will only backfire, making Bafaya feel disgusted, and he will also think that Yu Fei is not a person to be friends with.
So Yu Fei came up very directly, just like when Bafaya asked for the Holy Grail. A price of twenty-five million pounds was offered. If converted into RMB, it is more than 250 million.
This is definitely a very high price, and it can also show his sincerity.
Moreover, Yu Fei brought up the story of the London Holy Grail and the Fatimid Scepter, the purpose of course was to make Bafaya remember his love.
He believed that Bafaya was not a person who did not miss old loves. Although the Fatima Scepter was given away by Yu Fei without knowing the value, but Bafaya didn't know it, he should have thought that he really exchanged it for two Hongwu glaze reds, right?
"So, you have a saying in China, called one yard...... One yard. To Yu Fei's surprise, Bafaya said as if he refused as soon as he opened his mouth. And it also uses a Chinese slang, this old thing is really a Chinese expert. Even in some aspects of knowledge, he can be called an expert, better than his own native Chinese! Fortunately, I didn't think about being cheated.
"I think you should know the value of the jade cabbage, but unfortunately, he is not your ancestor, so he can't be seen in the same way." "If I am not a descendant of the royal family of Fatima. Then the Fatimid Grail and the Scepter are no different from ordinary artifacts to me. As you know, I also cherish the emerald cabbage. ”
Hey! This old thing turned his face and didn't recognize people! Yu Fei thought a little depressed.
But now he really didn't have any of the Buffaya handles in his hands. Whether it was the Holy Grail or the Fatimid Scepter, whether it was sold or given, it had already reached the hands of Bafaya. Whether or not Bafaya is willing to transfer the jade cabbage to himself depends entirely on his will, and he has no choice.
This is different from previous negotiations with the British Museum. At that time, they had a bronze statue of the "Walking Man", and this was what they desperately wanted to obtain. Therefore, Yu Fei was able to ask for the sky-high price, but the British Museum did not dare to sit on the ground and pay back.
"Mr. Bafaya. It's just the two of us, so please bring it up if you have any conditions. Yu Fei said. He knows very well that Buffaya said this definitely not because he didn't want to transfer, but because he wanted to put forward more conditions and make himself pay more price! Otherwise, he could not let himself see this emerald cabbage at all. It couldn't be simpler for Buffaya.
"So, you are really a cheerful person, and I like cheerful people." Mr. Bafaya said.
"So, I'll be straight ahead." Mr. Bafaya paused and continued: "Although this jade cabbage is very important to me, it is not impossible to transfer it to you. Even, I can give you those two pieces of Hongwu glaze red porcelain as usual, I just want you a word. ”
"What words? You say, you say. Yu Fei said again and again. I didn't expect Bafaya to only need one word from himself, it's too simple.
But Bafaya's question made Yu Fei not know how to answer for a while.
"I just want to know where you came from the Fatimid Staff." Bafaya stared at Yu Fei with blazing eyes, as if he could look directly into his innermost thoughts.
Yes? Yu Fei didn't expect that Buffaya would ask this question.
"Didn't I just say that? I came from a black market—" Yu Fei also wanted to fool Buffaya with the lie he had just laid. But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bafaya.
"Well, you have to think about it." Bafaya said leisurely. Although it is only a short sentence, there is a strong sense of threat in it. If Yu Fei's answer doesn't satisfy him, then this jade cabbage will have to say goodbye to Yu Fei completely.
Yu Fei now knows that he thought he had made up a seamless lie, but it turned out that Bafaya's didn't believe it at all, he just didn't expose himself to his face!
"Mr. Bafaya, you know that I value my friendship with you very much......" Yu Fei didn't know what to say. If you stick to what you just said, you will naturally not be able to satisfy Bafaya, but if you say that you found the Fatimid staff in the flea market, then Bafaya will not say it or not. If he knew that the gift he gave him was bought at a low price at the flea market, I'm afraid he would be very uncomfortable, right?
"Uh-huh." Bafaya nodded, indicating that she understood.
"I put a lot of thought into preparing a gift for you." Yu Fei swallowed and foamed, and said emphatically again.
"So what?" Bafaya was unmoved, "You should have told the Fatimid Scepter where you found it, right?" Otherwise—"
Bafaya said and pulled the jade cabbage back to his side, widening the distance between him and Yu Fei.
Yu Fei finally tasted the taste of being hung by others. This can be regarded as retribution.
"Well, I'll tell you all!" In the end, Yu Fei gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said without hesitation: "The Fatimid scepter was bought by me by chance in an antique shop in the Paris flea market. ”
"What?! That's impossible! Bafaya almost subconsciously denied it!
Bafaya lives in Paris, so isn't it just a stone's throw away from the Fatima Scepter, but for so many years, he has not found anything at all?! This was a bit hard for him to accept.
"How could it be?" Yu Fei said: "Mr. Bafaya, you have a far-sighted vision, and you will only stare at the saint. How can the high-end antique shops on Avenue Honoré visit the small shops of the flea market? ”
Bafaya loves to collect, and has countless collections in his life, even if Yu Fei has true qi, it is difficult to compare with him. But for living in Paris and staying with the Fatimid Scepter for many years without knowing it, this is really a big thrill for Bafaya.
"Maybe it's fate." Bafaya sighed and said, "By the way, I would like to know how much you spent on the Fatimid Scepter in the first place. ”
It's even harder to fly.
I spent two hundred euros at the time, of which twenty euros were still consumption, and if you count the price of the box, then the Fatima Scepter is less than one hundred and eighty euros! Yu Fei didn't know if Bafaya would be able to afford it when he said the price.
But at this point, the evasion is no longer visible, and there is no point in concealing it.
Yu Fei cleared his throat and prepared to tell the true price.
