Chapter 734 [Fierce Bargging]
But Abu also has a worry, because this painting is too terrifying, he is afraid that Yang Nianzhong will not want it, and when the bamboo basket is empty, and the relationship with Yang Nianzhong will be stiffened, it will be difficult to save this situation at that time.
However, his butler Alexander had a bad idea for his master, and began to look up various customs in China on the Internet to see if this painting could be accepted by Yang Nianzhong.
Their idea is very simple, thinking that they can understand the 5,000-year-old civilization of China by looking up information on the Internet? That's just a fantasy, the result of their query is the same, the Chinese people are not as taboo about the number 13 as the Westerners, he is taboo about 14, or 18.
With this, the two masters and servants of Abu were full of confidence, and this painting was thrown out as soon as they negotiated today, and what they didn't expect was that Yang Nianzhong reacted normally when he saw this painting, and there was no expression of ecstasy or disgust.
The face was like a pool of clear water, there were no waves, nothing could be seen. This makes the two masters and servants very hairy in their hearts, you like to be able to show your expression, and you hate him and can also show your expression, but what does it mean that you Yang Nianzhong is expressionless?
The master and servant took so much effort, said a lot of benefits, and even got out the little secrets hidden in this Van Gogh's posthumous work, but Yang Nianzhong still didn't feel cold, and poured out all the speeches prepared by the master and servant.
Yang Nianzhong began to exert his strength at this time, as the owner of this Van Gogh one, Abu made Yang Nianzhong speechless, and seeing that the Russian tycoon Abu was unable to speak clearly, Yang Nianzhong sneered and said.
"I don't understand, I'm just curious, didn't you see 13 flowers when you bought flowers? Don't you know that this is Van Gogh's posthumous work before he committed suicide? ”
"Unless you are blind, you can't see it, otherwise your Russian rich man Abu will let people deceive him, fall into the trap set by others, and let people trap you for 300 million US dollars."
Yang Nianzhong didn't leave a little politeness when he spoke, which made the Russian tycoon Abu cough there in embarrassment, and he didn't know where to put his feet, but Yang Nianzhong was not used to his dishes, and when he saw Abu's restless appearance, he snorted coldly.
"Oh, you were deceived and let people fool me, and then you took this painting and ran to my house and started fooling me, didn't you? If you still have $350 million, I won't give you $100 million. ”
At this time, Abu was speechless and ashamed, but Alexander on the side didn't care about that, all he had to do was save money for Abu, the master, which was his duty as a steward.
As soon as he saw that his master was cleaned up by Yang Nianzhong, he couldn't speak, but the butler Alexander didn't do it, and he coughed to attract Yang Jianzhong's attention.
"Mr. Yang, are you too much to bargain, our husband paid $300 million in cash when he bought this painting, don't you even give 1/3 of the price?"
Seeing that the old man of Alexander's butler had made a move, Yang Nianzhong was even more disgusted, and looked at Alexander and said sarcastically. "That's right, I won't give you 1/3 of the price, I'll give you a real price, $50 million, if you sell it, I will ask you not to sell it and take it."
Alexander's housekeeper is really anxious, the price given by Yang Nianzhong is 50 million US dollars, which is not even a sunflower you can buy a sunflower from Van Gogh, and it is a small sunflower, and the size of this Van Gogh posthumous work they sold has reached more than one meter.
This painting is Van Gogh's posthumous work before his suicide, and it was painted on canvas in exactly accordance with his real physiological ratio of 1:1, if you want to know the proportions of Van Gogh's upper body, you see that this painting is measured with a ruler, eight or nine is not far from ten. Yang Nianzhong bargained too hard, which made Butler Alexander very dissatisfied, and his voice and tone couldn't help but start to rise.
"Mr. Yang, can you please show some sincerity? $50 million, that's not going to be in your mouth at all. ”
I'm not sincere, you have sincerity, you have sincerity, you take out this painting and want to sell it to me, and you want to sell it to me for more than 300 million dollars, you treat me as an idiot, or a rich fool.
It seems that he is misleading Alexander Butler, you are Abu's butler, yes, you assisted Abu to start from scratch, with today's asset scale is the embodiment of your ability as a butler, Abu, the master, should respect you, without you, there would be no him today.
But you take yourself too seriously, what does my Yang Nianzhong have to do with you? Are we two equal? You as a housekeeper actually dare to ask me Yang Nianzhong, have you eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard.
So Yang Nianzhong's anger arched up, John who was sitting on the side kept paying attention to Yang Nianzhong's expression, as soon as he saw Yang Nianzhong's expressionless face, his eyes narrowed, John understood everything, the two brothers have been the same enemy since childhood, and the muzzle of the gun is the same.
Don't look at Yang Nianzhong's negotiations, John didn't participate, but Yang Nianzhong was angry or bullied, and John was the first to refuse, which is why Yang Nianzhong took care of John, this stupid brother. At the critical moment, Yang Nianzhong did not speak does not prove that John did not speak, and looked at the Alexander butler who was talking eloquently and interrupted him rudely.
"Steward Alexander, I ask you to pay attention to the words, this is not in Russia, but in my estate."
After speaking, seeing Alexander staring at the beads and closing his mouth, even Abu, who was sitting opposite, looked at him inexplicably, and John said coldly. "Mr. Abu, Steward Alexandria, please be careful with your words. There is a Chinese proverb that says that good illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth, and our brother is not a dough that anyone can handle, nor is it an existence that anyone can question. ”
"We respect you because you are a guest, and you took the initiative to find our brother who wants to buy the treasure in our hands, the price has been offered to you, you don't have that much money, so take something instead, but you have to be sincere when you take out something."
Abu blinked at John and said. "How can you say that, Mr. John? I took out all Van Gogh's words, am I not sincere? Besides, Mr. Yang is Chinese, and he has no reason to taboo the number 13. ”
Until now, Abu doesn't know where he got it wrong, so disgusted by Yang Nianzhong, so disgusted by this last painting of Van Gogh, Alexander on the side doesn't understand what's going on.
But John, a stupid big man, knows why Yang Nianzhong hates this painting so much, because whoever buys this painting has to smash it in his hands, no matter how much money you spend on it, you can't sell it at the original price, let alone sell it at a higher price than the original price to make some money, that's just a luxury.
Could it be that if Yang Nianzhong buys this painting back, he will send it to the auction to exchange for money? Can't you just keep it in your hand? Isn't Yang Nianzhong not taboo the number 13?
It's not taboo for Yang Nianzhong, but this painting is too weird, Yang Nianzhong doesn't dare to keep it in his hands, and if he doesn't dare to keep it in his hands, you have to sell it, but no one takes over what you don't smash in your hands. Although Yang Nianzhong didn't express this meaning, John understood what Yang Nianzhong thought, otherwise it would be impossible to cooperate with Yang Nianzhong so tacitly.
