Chapter 37: Sky-high prices
Zhu Youxiao also pricked up his ears to hear what evidence there was on the other end of the phone, after all, the two worlds are not the same, and there will inevitably be some differences.
"Lao Zhang, I have checked Emperor Xianzong's living records, there is such a record, saying that Emperor Xianzong once inadvertently broke a corner of the cup. The porcelain inside was exposed, and a little eunuch took the cup outside the palace to find a craftsman and carved the four characters of longevity in the gap."
"Yes, yes".
For this gap, Master Zhang discovered this place when he was just determined, and naturally remembered the four words in it vividly.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Master Zhang's excited face, and naturally understood that what he was bringing had been affirmed.
"Lao Zhang, where did you see that Doucai laser cup? Can you tell me?"
The voice came from the other end of the phone again, and Master Zhang looked at Zhu Youxiao and the Zhou family with a tangled expression, after all, they couldn't just tell others their information.
Zhou Jiajia didn't care, Zhu Youxiao thought about it in his heart, after all, his cup was to be sold, and if there were more people who knew about it, the price would naturally rise. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao made a good gesture towards Master Zhang.
Master Zhang didn't speak until he saw Zhu Youxiao's agreement, "It's a friend of Director Zhou Jiajia, because I need to make a move, Director Zhou asked me to appraise it."
"I'd like to meet this friend, I wonder if you can tell me the address."
Master Zhang refused without hesitation, after all, it takes three or two hours to get here from Shangjing even if it takes three or two hours by plane, and when Zhou Jiajia was looking for him before, it was clearly only three hours, plus it won't be long now, although I don't know why Zhu Youxiao is so anxious to leave. But you can't delay other people's trips because of your own business.
"Lao Li is really embarrassed, my friends here have a tight schedule......
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while after hearing it, "Lao Zhang, just now you said that he wanted to sell something, I don't know what the price looks like, after all, this is a royal treasure." And the royal family just learned the news and expressed their willingness to buy it."
"In 2014, a Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was auctioned at Sotheby's Hong Kong Spring Auction at a price of 280 million, and as early as 1999, the same Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was auctioned at a sky-high price of 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars."
"Especially this one has been appraised and used by Emperor Xianzong, so the price will definitely ......."
Master Zhang first talked about the price of the aged Doucai Chicken Cup, and then restarted the roll call, this cup was used by the emperor. For example, a urinal of the Empress Dowager Cixi in later generations was auctioned for millions of sky-high prices, not to mention that both the workmanship and historical value are incomparably heavy.
Zhu Youxiao heard what Master Zhang said, a doucai chicken bowl cup was auctioned for 280 million, and his heart was pounding with fright. For Zhu Youxiao, who didn't even have a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan in his previous life, this money was simply a huge mountain pressing heavily on his chest, making him breathless.
There seemed to be a pause on the other end of the line, and then a noise was heard.
"Is it Master Zhang? I'm Zhu Youqi."
A young man's voice came from the other end of the line.
When Master Zhang heard the voice on the other end of the phone, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, and even Zhou Jiajia, who was sitting next to Zhu Yuanzhang and the old god was there, suddenly changed his face and replied respectfully.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince".
Although the current society is not an era of imperial supremacy, the royal family still has a certain status in people's hearts, and ordinary people still have to follow up when they see the royal family.
But for the dormitory, he doesn't care about the crown prince at all, not the crown prince, after all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he is still his ancestor, although it is not a world, but a pen can not write two Zhu characters, the ancestor of the other world is still your ancestor.
There was a hearty laugh on the other end of the phone, "Master Zhang, don't be polite, I also have something I want to ask you, do you want that friend to talk to me."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wait a moment, I'll ask."
Master Zhang's eyes looked at Zhu Youxiao and motioned for him to quickly pick up the phone.
"Hello, I am the owner of the Du Cai chicken bowl cup."
Zhu Youxiao's voice came out neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't have the excitement of seeing the royal family at all, which made Zhou Jiajia and Master Zhang, who were waiting beside the school, stunned.
Especially Zhou Jiajia's evaluation of Zhu Youxiao is even better.
"Friend, what do you think of my previous proposal".
"I have no objection to this, after all, it is sold to anyone, as long as the price is right. If it can be sold to the royal family, of course, it will be the best."
Zhu Youxiao also pointed to the other party in his words, don't think that you are a royal family, so you can bring down the price.
Zhou Jiajia could naturally understand the meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words, and a trace of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on her face. For this person who has no respect for the royal family, Zhou Jiajia is completely convinced.
If this is an ordinary person, it would be a great blessing to be able to talk to the crown prince on the phone, not to mention that now the crown prince wants to buy your things. To be honest, if I had this chicken cup, I would have given it directly to the crown prince a long time ago, after all, I could pull down such a big relationship. Money can't buy it.
"This is natural, how can our royal family be bullying. Little brother say a price".
Zhu Youxiao turned around to look at Master Zhang, after all, Master Zhang worked in an auction house, so he naturally knew the price well.
"An ordinary chicken bowl cup was auctioned for 280 million the year before last, and this one was used by Emperor Xianzong, especially engraved with longevity. If these rich bosses want to have a relationship with the royal family, they will spend money to buy it even if it is 1 billion 2 billion, but now the royal family comes up to negotiate the price in person, ......."
Master Zhang lowered his voice and said to Zhu Youxiao and Zhou Jiajia.
Zhu Youxiao also understood that he was likely to suffer. Sure enough, Zhou Jiajia, who was sitting on the side, stretched out 4 fingers and posed a board towards Zhu Youxiao, and then gestured to Zhu Youxiao with his eyes.
Zhu Youxiao nodded towards Zhao Jiajia, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, 400 million Huaxia coins."
On the other end of the phone, after hearing Zhu Youxiao's words. I was stunned for a moment, and then I agreed.
"On behalf of the royal family, I thank the little brother, and we remember this kindness."
Zhu Youqi, as the crown prince of the imperial family, naturally knows that the meaning of this cup is really put on the auction house for auction, and the price will definitely not be less than 400 million, or even 1 billion, 2 billion 3 billion is possible, especially if the emperor has used it. So when he heard that it was only 400 million, he naturally thought that Zhu Youxiao cared about his royal identity and wanted to get in touch with the royal family, so he offered such a low price.
In fact, he didn't know that Zhu Youxiao actually only needed 300 million in his heart, so for an extra 100 million, Zhu Youxiao naturally accepted it gladly.
At the same time, I was also thinking about whether to engrave my name on the things I left over from my previous carpenter, and then take it here again and sell it, wouldn't I have made a fortune, and the richest man in the world is not there, and I have money, right?
Originally, Zhu Youqi planned to fly directly to Zhu Youxiao's side, but unfortunately Zhu Youxiao didn't have time, so he agreed to trade here a week later.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao hang up the phone, Zhou Jiajia walked in front of Zhu Youxiao.
"Brother Zhu, are you curious why I let you only need 400 million?"
Zhu Youxiao smiled kindly at Zhou Jiajia, and then nodded.
Since ancient times, Huaxia has been a humane society, so the ancestors once said that one more friend has one more way out. Especially Zhu Youxiao still wants to have a stable identity in this time and space, so that he can move things from this world to the Ming Dynasty.
"Brother Zhou, the little brother has one thing, I hope Brother Zhou can help."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhou Jiajia very worriedly.
