Chapter 17 1.8 million sold to the museum

He spoke in a high-sounding way, and he was very happy. After hearing this, Jiahao smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Chen, right? I can understand your painstaking efforts, but I am just a small antique dealer.

I don't understand the profound significance of an antique. If your museum wants to collect it, I would be willing to transfer it, but I'm sorry, I can only pay it according to the market price. I hope you can understand me."

He got straight to the point and said what was in his heart. This was his original intention. He would not transfer the big blue and white jar in his hand at a very low price just because Chen Qin said some inflammatory words.

The museum is not his museum, and the Forbidden City is not his Forbidden City. If he wants to visit, he will probably have to buy tickets.

But not giving up an antique to the museum means that he is unpatriotic, and patriotism is not so shallow.

In fact, when Chen Qin said those words, Jiahao immediately understood the deep meaning of the other person's words and asked him to sell half of the goods and half to give away, so as to show his patriotism.

But his family does not run a charity. What he needs most now is money. In this materialistic society, money is a very close thing. A few days ago, when he had no money, there was no country.

Institutions come to comfort and comfort them.

this is the truth!

Only when people are rich to a certain extent and have too much money to spend, can they have the energy to express unnecessary generosity.

Hearing what Jiahao said solemnly, Chen Qin and other people in the museum suddenly looked at each other, feeling quite embarrassed.

The clerk and Uncle Jiang standing nearby smiled at each other, as if they secretly approved of Jiahao's attitude.

Compared to Jiahao, Uncle Jiang and the others have been involved in the antique shop for a long time, so of course they know more about the inside story.

"Mr. Yao, don't worry, our museum won't ask for your things in vain, of course we will give you money." At this moment, a young man spoke up and said, "Teacher Huang offered you 100,000 yuan before. We will give you money."

I am willing to give you more, but do you have any other requests?"

Jiahao shook his head without hesitation and said: "One hundred thousand? Are you kidding? Your museum is not only collecting the blank period blue and white jars. Major private museums and collectors are also looking for it. Now this thing has been confirmed to be from the orthodox period.

It’s a big jar, there’s no doubt about it, right?”

"We know this." The man nodded and said, "Mr. Yao, please give me a price. What is the minimum price you want to sell it for?"

"This price." Jiahao hesitated for a moment and then stretched out two fingers.

"Two...two hundred thousand?" the man asked.

"No, two million." Jiahao spat out each word from his mouth.

In an instant, Chen Qin and others were simply stunned!

"Two million?!" The man from the finance department of the city museum looked at He Qing in surprise and asked loudly, "Mr. He, are you kidding me?! Can you sell this thing for two million?! Just one

An ordinary folk kiln is not a fine product from an official kiln! If the official kiln sells it to us, it doesn’t cost so much, right?!”

A large blue and white vase from a private kiln is priced at two million. This is definitely a big deal, a typical "starting from the ground"!

For a moment, Chen Qin and three other museum staff members had incredible expressions on their faces. They thought that Jiahao could offer up to 200,000 yuan, but who knew that he could pay 2 million yuan with just one mouthful!

A full two million, isn't this a sky-high price?

From this we can imagine how big an appetite this gentle young man in front of him has and how greedy he is in his heart!

"I'm not joking." Jiahao said with a straight face and a very firm tone, "The minimum price for this big jar is two million. If your museum wants it, then I am willing to give it in, but the price cannot be lower than this.

"

"Two million, how is this possible?!" Hearing this, the man's face turned pale for a while, he shook his head vigorously and said, "Mr. Yao, please be more realistic. Just your blue and white porcelain, you still want to sell it for two hundred

10,000?! At such a high price, it’s not hard to buy any good porcelain!”

He was obviously angry. Qi Jiahao made unrealistic and random prices. What he thought he could buy for tens of thousands of dollars turned out to be worth millions!

It’s so crazy!

It was difficult for them to understand. They didn't know what the other party's considerations were. Could it be that they wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the museum.

"I just started from the actual situation, otherwise it would definitely be more than this price." Jiahao was not in a hurry, and said with a half-smile, "Sir, please don't get excited. If you have something to say, please talk to me. I didn't say that I had to give the thing away."

Selling it to you, I never thought about it that way before. I brought the things over after receiving a call from Uncle Jiang. My original intention was to show everyone. If you think the price is too high and you can't accept it, that's okay.

Let's stop here and let's not continue talking, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony. Doing business is a very pleasant thing, and I don't want you to be unhappy because of this. Don't you think so?"

"But your price is too high?!" the man said with a very embarrassed expression.

"Then there's no other way. The price is just this. It's up to you whether you accept it or not." Jiahao shook his head helplessly, without making any concessions.

"Brother Yao, you are right. We are talking about business and we have to talk calmly." The man was about to say something more. At this moment, Chen Qin, who had been standing beside him in a daze, suddenly smiled and said, "As long as you are willing

Let, that’s easy to talk about.”

"Old Chen!" The man tried to interrupt Chen Qin, but Chen Qin pulled him and said to He Qing: "Brother Yao, I'm sorry, excuse me."

After that, he pulled the man aside and the other young man followed closely. The three of them must have discussed countermeasures.

"Brother Hao, you are so awesome!"

After Chen Qin and the others walked away, the clerk, who was watching clearly, walked up to Jiahao and whispered with a smile: "Two million, how dare you offer such a price? If it were an ordinary person, it would be a museum asking for it."

I immediately felt honored to collect it. Who would dare to ask such a high price? But compared to your piece of porcelain, the price is actually not very high. For their museum, it is worth the money."

Jiahao said with a smile: "I have said that it is the same whether you are doing business with a museum or an individual. It does not mean that after I sell my things to the museum, I will still be a part of it. It is better to be more practical."

The clerk nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, although the museum belongs to the state, the management rights are only in the hands of a few people after all. How different is this from a private museum? Anyway, I don't feel that kind of movement.

The status of the owner after entering the museum, haha, maybe my awareness is too low. I heard that a few years ago, a man went to the city museum to donate treasures. He planned to donate a family heirloom to the museum for free. It was a

Porcelain from official kilns of the Song Dynasty was repeatedly rejected. Experts in the museum did not approve it, saying it was a fake and accusing the other party of trying to please others. It was not popular enough, so they smashed the thing on the spot. Hey, this was a big hit.

Later, it was authenticated by an authoritative organization and it turned out to be a genuine piece of Ru kiln porcelain - "Even if you have a huge fortune, it is not as good as a piece of Ru kiln." You can imagine how precious Ru kiln is!

There is another story about a person who sold a piece of porcelain to a museum. At the time of the sale, it only cost tens of thousands of yuan. But who knew that a few years later, the same porcelain would be sold at an international auction company for a price of 100,000 yuan?

It has reached 200 million! It is still a mystery whether the thing is the piece of porcelain that slipped out of that museum. Anyway, the thing has disappeared and there is no way to find it! So, it is better to think about it before dedicating the thing to the museum.

, it will be too late to regret by then!”

Jiahao said: "This is my price. It doesn't matter if they don't accept it. The worst I can do is keep it for myself."

"That thing of yours is very special and someone will appreciate it." The clerk said in a comforting tone.

"Jiahao, let me tell you."

Just at this moment, Uncle Jiang came over and said softly: "Chen Qin just told me about their situation. What they mean is that they hope that your price will be lower. Let's see if one million is enough, or maybe a little less. Two

One million is indeed a bit high, and he said that their funds are a bit insufficient. Jiahao, let me see if you can think about it. Of course, it depends on your own wishes. I am just conveying their thoughts to him. "

Chen Qin and the others have invited Uncle Jiang to be their lobbyist, which is a bit beyond Jiahao's expectation, but this is naturally a good thing, indicating that there is room for negotiation with Chen Qin and the others.

"Uncle Jiang, you have already stood up for them, so of course I have to think about it again. Otherwise, as you know, I received the things for 10,000 yuan, and now I am transferring them for 1.8 million yuan.

It's 200,000 less than the two million just now, but this is my limit price. It can't be lower. If they don't accept it, forget it. I'll take the things back and treasure them." Jiahao said seriously.

replied.

What he meant was that the two hundred thousand less was entirely for Uncle Jiang's sake, otherwise he wouldn't have lost a penny.

"One million and eight hundred thousand?" Uncle Jiang and the clerk looked at each other thoughtfully.

Then Uncle Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll go talk to Chen Qin and the others."

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Jiahao said politely.

Soon Uncle Jiang and Chen Qin came over. Chen Qin, who was walking at the front, greeted Jiahao with a smile on his face: "Brother Yao, we are not sure about your price yet. We have to go back and ask our superiors for instructions. We have discussed it."

Only then can I give you an answer.”

"Okay, don't worry." Jiahao nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Things have come to a complete conclusion at this point, which is a relatively ideal result for Jiahao.

What he has to wait for now is the city museum’s final decision!

Later, Chen Qin and the others said goodbye and walked out of the "Jianbaozhai".

"Old Chen, do you really want to buy that piece of porcelain?"

After walking out, the young man from the finance department asked.

Chen Qin nodded solemnly and replied in a deep voice: "There's no reason not to want it. Xiaohai, that's a large blue and white jar from the Ming Dynasty's blank period. It's rare to see it! The key is that our museum is short of this kind of thing. If we don't collect it,

That would leave a huge regret!”

"Can't we find something else to replace the one in Yao's hand?" Xiao Hai frowned and questioned, "There should be a lot of blue and white cans in the market during the blank period, right?"

Chen Qin shook his head and said, "If you don't do research, you don't know anything. If it were so easy to get, we wouldn't have to worry so much. Do you think we didn't collect this kind of porcelain? We have looked at it countless times, but they are all fakes."

, none of them are reliable, and the one that Yao Brother has with a special door is a real bargain! Moreover, the large jar has a correct shape and exquisite decoration, which is almost on par with the official kilns of the Xuande and other periods! After we go back, we will

We need to hold a meeting to discuss and try to finalize this matter as soon as possible. Once Brother Yao transfers the things, we will regret it!"

"So his stuff can really sell for over a million?" Xiao Hai asked doubtfully.

Chen Qin nodded and said: "It's very possible! Brother Yao is not boasting about Haikou. There are many collectors pursuing genuine blank period blue and white jars. If he meets a big boss who knows the goods, he may really be able to sell more than two million.

The reason why he was willing to give us 200,000 less just now was because of Master Jiang's face, otherwise he would definitely not give in!"

"Hey~~" Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Hai let out a long sigh and said, "That's really cheap for him! Maybe he just spent a little money to buy it."

"That's his skill. It shows that he has good eyesight and picked up mistakes." Chen Qin said disapprovingly, "In this industry, if someone picks up something, there will be others who make mistakes and spend a small amount of money to make a lot of money. This is nothing unusual."

Xiao Hai asked: "He is so young, but his eyesight is really that good?"

Chen Qin said: "Don't underestimate me. Brother Yao looks like he is not a simple character. Okay, Xiaohai, let's go quickly!"
