Chapter 789: It Turns Out Everyone Is the Same!
"A little devil exchanged 100,000 US dollars, it's really TM, it would be nice for them to have a reinforcement last night......"
Looking at the check, Zhu Zilong was happy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
During the day, through acquaintances as intermediaries, the gang of little devils was really anxious, and it was not good to alarm the police. So, it can only be private!
So, Cong Cong paid a check for $100,000, and the gang of little devils left.
Of course, with a cold and hateful expression before rushing away, Zhu Zilong could guess that this matter was not over.
Of course, who is Zhu Zilong?
Who's afraid of whom? If you have the ability, you can only come!
The challenge of the little devil is always with him to the end.
Through this incident, Zhu Zilong can be regarded as understanding a truth.
Don't look at most of the general antiques, the Japanese will not buy them back at a high price. But that's also a different breed, only this box is missing, and if it goes to the auction house, the Japanese will definitely want to snatch it back home.
At the same time, because it has the handwriting of Emperor Yang of Sui in Chinese history, it is obvious that this is also half a Chinese antique.
Even if the Japanese don't pay a high price in the end, it doesn't seem difficult to auction this thing for a good price.
Even if the Chinese buy it in the end, the money of the rich in China will not be earned in vain, as if it is some people's money.
Day 2!
Zhu Zilong arrived at a large auction and exhibition hall, and it was also a place with a focus on Asian antiques.
Not long after he was here, he also met a friend. It's called Lauderly!
Lau Deli is of mixed Chinese and Western descent, and his father is Chinese. The store opened in the United States is also inherited from my father!
China has a history of humiliation for more than 100 years, and during that time, I don't know how many treasures went overseas, and the most of them were in the United States. Lauder's father, as a Chinese and collector, naturally opened a store in the United States!
Nowadays, the domestic collecting world is on fire.
But at the same time, because of the prevalence of speculation, many Chinese antiques in China have become sky-high, and there is nothing to catch in the net.
Gradually, some Chinese collectors have set their sights abroad, such as the United States.
So, here today, there are a lot of Chinese collectors.
For example, the group in front. The leader is a middle-aged man in his fifties, of medium stature, very well maintained, and wearing a tunic suit. Walking!
There are five followers, two of whom are middle-aged people in their forties, with a fat physique, and a look at their attitude and temperament, they are the emerging rich people in China.
The other three are bodyguards!
These people were obviously big customers, and Lauderley apparently knew them and walked over.
Lao Deli smiled and shook hands with the other party, and the other party gently reached out to him very casually, and a natural extravagance came to his face. The two sides talked for a while, and Jingran started business directly, obviously making an appointment in advance.
Then, the other party's face seemed to be a little unsweet, and he suddenly said, "Well, is there a more high-grade and higher-grade goods?" ”
Zhu Zilong also pretended to be a guest on the side, as soon as he heard this group of people say this, and knew that Lao Dexin hadn't received anything good recently, he gave him a look on the spot. Then, transfer one of your own things to him.
Lauderi understood God that this thing, he had also seen it, was a good thing. So, this antique mahogany box was sent, and the carving on the outside of the box was very exquisite, which brought out that the objects inside were not ordinary.
opened the box in front of several people, and what was in it was the non-original thing that Zhu Zilong had picked up before.
Amber snuff box!
It is true that people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold.
The original little thing, such a package, Bigg immediately seemed a few grades higher. And the spirits of several people on the opposite side were all attracted at once.
"Hey, a couple of bosses. A few of you take a look, this is just the Kangxi amber snuff bottle that my friend and I just collected recently. ”
These middle-aged Chinese CEOs were immediately very excited, picked up the things with their hands, and put them in front of them to observe carefully.
"Well, the color is gorgeous, the condition is intact, the carcass is finely processed, the texture is delicate and light, the white is delicate, and the weight is moderate. The glaze is moist and even, smooth and white, bright and flawless. Looking at the bottom model, it is a five-clawed cloud dragon model, which should be exclusive to the royal family back then. ”
The middle-aged men whispered in a low voice, looked at Lao Deli and said, "Boss, it is indeed genuine, at what price do you plan to sell this object?" ”
"Hehe, not much, $12 million." After getting Zhu Zilong's hint, Lao Deli replied.
Don't look at it less than 100 million yuan as you think, but if you go through the auction procedure. There are a lot of taxes to be collected, and if someone really collects them directly, the price reduction is also negotiable.
"$12 million? In the past two years, there have been a few auctions in China, and the price is only a few hundred million yuan. I think $12 million is a bit high! Several bosses replied in total.
As the so-called depreciation of goods is the buyer, as soon as these people opened their mouths, Lau Deli knew that there was a door to this business.
So, after a round of bargaining, the two sides settled on $10 million.
The contract was quickly put in place, and a notary not far away was invited to come over to deliver the goods with one hand and transfer the money with the other.
Soon, the deal was done.
Sent away these Chinese big bosses who left business cards. After taking the bank card from Lao Deli, Zhu Zilong smiled and transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars to him as a rebate fee.
No wonder people say that the antique business is an invisible profiteering industry!
Even if it doesn't open for three years, once it opens, you can eat it for 30 years!
Zhu Zilong, who is in a good mood, when watching TV at night.
Because he was in the United States, the American news reported it for the first time. The Federal Reserve announced another interest rate hike, and at half past nine in the evening of the same day, Argentina's currency, the peso, collapsed and plummeted, falling by 41%, which is really a tragedy!
In 2015, the country collapsed once, but now in 2023, it will be recruited again.
There is no doubt that, as with every rate hike in history, many emerging countries have been sheared. China is gritting its teeth and holding on!
Suddenly, a phone call came, and the waiter said that there was an auction house manager named Anders who wanted to see Zhu Zilong.
One asked, said what Sotheby's manager. Almost at the same time, the manager of another auction house also came, and his peers were enemies, and they were competing with each other below.
The art market is always a stage for capital competition, and with the continuous development of the market, more and more hot money participates in the collection and investment of artworks.
Christie's and Sotheby's, the two major players in the global auction industry, occupy 95% of the global auction industry. Sworn enemy!
Christie's has just come to the front foot, and then Sotheby's will follow behind, what the purpose is, I don't know myself!
However, Zhu Zilong felt very cheating.
Unexpectedly, in this so-called US imperialist fist country, personal information was leaked. It turns out that everyone is the same!
