[The previous price was not very reasonable and has been revised.]
At this time, even Zheng Kuncheng, the son of the Zheng family, couldn't bear it anymore. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. This was not a small amount. A young man like him could not really spend money like water at home.
It’s good to be able to spend several thousand or even tens of thousands. At most, the family can buy a car worth hundreds of thousands and show it around. But it is generally impossible to squander these millions of funds.
Zheng Zhigang asked Zheng Kuncheng to take pictures of this set of furniture, not for his own use, but because the Zheng family owns the largest furniture store in Hong Kong, Zheng's Furniture Store, which occupies half of the furniture market in Hong Kong. Take this set of classical furniture and take it back.
Being the flagship store of Zheng's Furniture Store greatly improves the brand value of Zheng's Furniture.
But the price had already reached such a high level that Zheng Kuncheng began to hesitate.
"Zheng Kuncheng, why don't you follow? Your family is at least as powerful as the Huo family, don't be cowardly!" Guo Yaowen on the side spoke.
"I don't want to be cowardly, then why don't you come?" Zheng Kuncheng didn't accept Guo Yaowen's provocation. If he messed up this matter, he would definitely be scolded when he went back. Huo Zhengxiang's family did not have a furniture industry, so even if he bought it back,
It didn't have much impact on Zheng's Furniture Store.
"Then I'm really here, don't regret it. My family owns a furniture store. If you buy it back, I'll put it in the store as a treasure. From now on, it will be easy to surpass your Zheng's Furniture Store." Guo Yaowen said.
The royal furniture of Guo Yaowen's family is considered a rising star among the mid-to-high-end furniture in Hong Kong. The royal furniture has fashionable styles and various varieties. It is deeply loved by the younger generation and its influence in Hong Kong is growing. It is vaguely comparable to Zheng's Furniture.
There is a trend of arm wrestling.
Zheng's Furniture Store is a well-established furniture business in Hong Kong. It sells high-end Chinese-style products and has a dominant position in the high-end market. It does not pay attention to the royal furniture of the rising star Guo Family. After all, Zheng's care is about high-end furniture.
The private market, while Royal Furniture focuses on the mid- to low-end market that caters to young people.
But if the Guo family really takes pictures of this set of furniture and takes it back as a store treasure, and prepares to enter the high-end furniture market in the future, it will really have a huge impact on the Zheng family.
Zheng Kuncheng pointed at Guo Yaowen angrily and said, "Guo, are you just waiting for this moment?"
"Zheng Kuncheng, don't worry. My family mainly makes European-style furniture, and the customers are basically young people. This set of furniture is not very consistent with my family's style. Of course, my family also wants to try to enter the Chinese-style classical furniture market, but this
The market is basically in the hands of the Zheng family. But if our Royal Furniture gets this set of furniture, it would be best to recruit the carpenters who made this set of furniture to Royal Furniture. Why can't Royal Furniture get involved in high-end Chinese furniture?
Where is the market?" Guo Yaowen has read more books than Zheng Kuncheng, and the city is deeper. When he spoke seriously, Zheng Kuncheng couldn't tell the truth from the lie.
"Eight million!" Zheng Kuncheng angrily raised his card first. He was so carried away that he added one million at once.
At this final stage, it is indeed crazy to even increase the price by one million at a time. In fact, by this time, the value of this set of furniture has reached the limit. Everyone present is understanding. Although this set of golden nanmu furniture
It's rare, but the value of golden nanmu wood is at least ten or two hundred thousand.
Although handicrafts are very rare, the value has increased dozens of times, which is already extremely terrifying. If this set of furniture really came from the palace, it is still possible even if it is doubled several times. The problem is, this set
The furniture is newly made. It didn't take long to make. It took a few months to make. Maybe after this set is sold, another set of furniture will enter the auction house in a few months. This makes this set
The price of furniture is greatly reduced.
Why are the works of dead artists valuable? The reason is that if the artist does not die, the works will be produced one after another. Only unique things are valuable. Even if this kind of furniture is highly skilled, it can be copied after all. If
If the carpenter makes the same set of furniture again, the value of this set of furniture will depreciate by at least double, or even more.
Huo Zhengxiang was rich, but his money did not come from the strong wind. No matter how much he liked this set of furniture, he did not want to be taken advantage of. He glanced at Zheng Kuncheng helplessly, shook his head, and gave up.
Li Jinhong was despised by Huo Zhengxiang at first, but now that it had nothing to do with him, he felt much more relaxed. He smiled and said to Huo Zhengxiang: "Brother Zhengxiang, don't be cowardly. If you drop one million, that boy from the Zheng family will be like a grandson."
.”
"Haha. Brother Jin Hong, come and try?" Huo Zhengxiang doesn't know how to provoke Huo Zhengxiang.
Guo Yaowen clapped his hands: "Zheng Kuncheng, you are really domineering. If I were to bid, I would probably add up to two to three hundred thousand. In fact, seven million is already Huo Zhengxiang's limit. This old fox will not spend too much money.
Go buy a set of furniture and go back. You, Zheng's Furniture Store, have the courage. With this set of furniture, your Zheng's Furniture Store can upgrade it to a higher level. But we, Royal Furniture, are more interested in the carpenter who made this set of furniture.
This set of furniture.”
By this time, Zheng Kuncheng naturally knew that what Guo Yaowen said just now was just to provoke him, but sadly, he was fooled.
"You!" Zheng Kuncheng pointed at Guo Yaowen and was speechless.
At this time, the auctioneer knocked: "Dealed!"
Everyone in the auction house who came to attend the auction stood up and applauded warmly. The auction at the auction house tonight set a record. It is indeed a bit unexpected that a set of newly made golden nanmu furniture can fetch such a high price.
.This should be the highest transaction price for newly made golden nanmu furniture.
Even He Chengyu did not expect such a high price. After deducting the cost of materials, Chang Xing suddenly became a millionaire.
Millionaires are nothing in Hong Kong, but they are definitely not many. In the Mainland, they are even more astonishing. A few million Hong Kong dollars are already millions if converted into RMB. In the Mainland, having a few hundred yuan at home is enough.
It's a huge sum of money.
"Brother He, how about we share the money equally. You provided the wood and the factory is yours. How can I ask for it alone?" Chang Xing did not expect such a large sum of money.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Didn't I say it before? You have money to spend. Isn't it free to build a villa? If you have money, you can buy more properties in Xiangjiang. You won't lose money by buying properties. The situation in the mainland is still there.
I don’t know. It’s very risky for a capable person like you to return to the mainland. It’s better to stay in Hong Kong and develop. It won’t be too late to go back when the situation in the mainland becomes clear in the future. I will ask someone to take more care of my younger siblings, or I will find a way to let my younger siblings go to Hong Kong.
It’s okay to study in a university. A few million dollars is not a small amount of money for me, but money can’t buy my parents’ health, nor can it buy a good brother like you. Don’t talk to me about the meaning of brothers.
Let's settle the accounts. This batch of golden nanmu wood doesn't cost much, and the furniture factory has been idle there. Even if I rent it out, I won't be able to get much rent in a month. If you think highly of your brother, use this money in a down-to-earth manner in Xiangjiang.
Buy more writing properties." He Chengyu held Chang Xing's shoulders and said sincerely.
When Chang Xing and He Chengyu were about to leave, Huo Zhengxiang walked towards them.
"Brother Cheng Yu, this young man is a bit unfamiliar. Is he a relative of yours?" Huo Zhengxiang had a warm smile on his face.
He Chengyu smiled and said: "Brother Zhengxiang, it seems that nothing can escape your eyes. This is my brother Chang. He is also the one who made this set of golden nanmu furniture."
"Sure enough, when I saw Brother Chang, I felt that he was extraordinary. He smelled like an artist who was unworldly. He was different from us ordinary people. Our hands are full of the smell of copper." Huo Zhengxiang
said.
"Mr. Huo is joking. Mr. Huo has extraordinary magnanimity and must be a man who has been on top of others for a long time. I am just a commoner," Chang Xing said.
"Haha, Brother Chang, I'm not exaggerating. Your temperament is really different from ordinary people. Brother Chengyu, it's still early, why don't you come to my house and sit down?" Huo Zhengxiang warmly invited.
He Chengyu did not agree immediately, but asked Chang Xing for his opinion: "Brother, what do you think?"
Chang Xing could see that He Chengyu valued Huo Zhengxiang's invitation, so he nodded: "It's just not too late. Chang Qing won't sleep until I go back every day."
"Don't worry, just sit down. It won't be too late. Brother Chang brought his family here?" Huo Zhengxiang said.
"My son followed me here." Chang Xing said.
"Really? How old is Master Ling?" Huo Zhengxiang asked.
"Less than five years old." Chang Xing said.
"Invite Brother Chang and Mr. Ling to visit me at my humble residence another day," Huo Zhengxiang said.
"Then I'll be bothering you." Chang Xing said.
"What do you want to say? I don't want it." Huo Zhengxiang said.
Upon arriving at Huo's house, Huo Zhengxiang immediately arranged for his servants to prepare refreshments.
Huo Zhengxiang led Chang Xing and He Chengyu into a quaint living room. The furnishings in this living room were very elegant and antique. There was a solid wood shelf beside one wall, and various exquisite porcelain antiques were displayed on the shelf.
At a glance, you can tell that these porcelain antiques are very exquisite, luxurious and valuable.
"These are some gadgets that I have collected. They are not worth a lot of money, but the key is that you like them. Take a look at them every day and play with them. I have no choice but to do this." Huo Zhengxiang introduced some of the items on display here.
Chang Xing didn't know much about antique porcelain. He just thought these antique porcelain were exquisite. As for their value, Chang Xing had no idea.
"I really like that set of golden nanmu furniture. It's a pity that the boy from the Zheng family was so aggressive that he snatched it from me at such a high price," Huo Zhengxiang said.
"Although the price is very high, in the antique business, when you encounter an object you like, it is worth spending no matter how much you spend." He Chengyu said with a smile.
Huo Zhengxiang smiled and said: "That's what I said, but I'm sure Zheng Kuncheng will be beaten by Zheng Zhigang this time and he won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half. Do you believe it?"
He Chengyu smiled and said nothing. Obviously he believed it too. Zheng Kuncheng got a little impulsive in the end. This is the most important thing when doing business. The Zheng family may not care about spending an extra million yuan, but they definitely appreciate Zheng Kuncheng's impulsiveness.
It's very annoying.
Chang Xing accidentally felt the collections in the house with his spiritual mind, and found that there were some very strange things attached to these collections, which were not the same as the Qi of the Five Elements. It was these strange things that gave these collections
Unique flavor.
"Brother Chang, are you also interested in these antiques? When you came back to my house for the first time, you can tell me what you like. It's a meeting gift from me, brother." Huo Zhengxiang saw that Chang Xing had been staring at the collections.
I thought Chang Xing was interested in a certain collectible.
"A gentleman does not take what others like. I have no interest in antiques. I just feel that these eccentricities have a very unique charm. I was fascinated by them for a while." Chang Xing said.
"Brother Chang has a good eye for things," Huo Zhengxiang said.
The three of them drank tea and chatted. Xiangjiang people were very interested in the situation in the mainland and talked a lot about this aspect. As they talked, Huo Zhengxiang finally got to the point.
"Brother Cheng Yu, brother Chang, I invite you here because I really have something to ask for." Huo Zhengxiang said.
"You don't want me, Brother Chang, to tailor a set of furniture for you, right?" He Chengyu immediately guessed Huo Zhengxiang's plan.
Huo Zhengxiang gave He Chengyu a thumbs up: "He who knows me is my brother Chengyu!"
"I'm afraid that won't work. I'm afraid my brother doesn't have time recently. He has already promised to make a set of furniture for me. When the furniture is ready, I'm afraid it will be a few months later." He Chengyu said.
"It's okay, I can wait slowly." Huo Zhengxiang said.
"Even if you are willing to wait, my brother may not have time to do it for you. My brother has been away for a long time, and he has long been anxious to return home. After he finishes making furniture for me, he may have to go home. This time he will go home.
, I don’t know when I can come to Xiangjiang." He Chengyu said.
Chang Xing nodded: "Yes. My hometown and my master are looking forward to my return. After I go back, I don't know when the next time I will come to Xiangjiang will be."
"Brother Chang, listen to me. When you return to China, you might as well stay in Xiangjiang. You can bring your family to Xiangjiang. I can help you get through some links," Huo Zhengxiang said.
"I said the same thing to him. But he said that Master is old and wants to return to his roots." He Chengyu said.
"Mr. Huo, don't worry, if I come to Xiangjiang again in the future, I will definitely help you make a set of furniture." Chang Xing said.
Huo Zhengxiang nodded: "That's the only way it can be."
After leaving the Huo family, He Chengyu asked: "Brother, do you know why I didn't ask you to immediately agree to help the Huo family make furniture?" He Chengyu asked.
Chang Xing shook his head.
"The main reason why this set of golden nanmu furniture can be sold at such a high price tonight is that there is only such a set of this kind of furniture in Xiangjiang. But when Huo Zhengxiang's house also has such a set, this kind of furniture will still be valuable in the future.
"Huh?" He Chengyu asked.
Chang Xing nodded.
"So, don't easily agree to make furniture for others now." He Chengyu said.
