Chapter 151 is all prodigal, who is afraid of who?
After actually trading, Chen Wenzhe discovered that he was missing many tools.
Although his hands could weigh the gold cup, he was afraid that Mu Xiaolong wouldn't believe it.
There was no choice but to ask Zhang Yijie to borrow an electronic scale, calipers and other things.
During the time that Zhang Yijie left, Chen Wenzhe followed the young man's chatter and quickly learned a lot about the situation.
The young man's name was Mu Xiaolong. From what he said, his family was very rich, so it was no big deal to bring out a gold cup.
Seeing his confident look, Chen Wenzhe believed that Mu Xiaolong was not a fool.
He does have this confidence, because this is a modern imitation.
In a wealthy family like theirs, such a gold cup is really nothing. At worst, they can just make a few imitations.
"Such gold cups usually appear in pairs. One of them alone cannot be sold at a high price, so I can only buy it at a discount. It would be great if there are two. I can even buy it at a premium."
Knowing that Mu Xiaolong was a fool, Chen Wenzhe immediately started to cheat.
Of course, what he said was not entirely a lie. After all, it is common sense that cups come in pairs.
Unfortunately, ancient gold cups with exquisite craftsmanship are not so easy to be preserved in pairs until now.
However, this is not necessarily true for imitations. As long as the owner is willing, he can imitate as many copies as he wants.
"I just got a little short of money recently, so I took the gold cup from home to exchange for some change to spend. I am not a prodigal son who specializes in selling ancestral property. However, when I am short of money in the future, I will get you a pair. But, you I have to make up for my losses this time, or else I won’t sell it to you.”
Chen Wenzhe nodded indifferently and said: "Okay, I don't want to make money from this anyway. The main reason is that the craftsmanship of this gold cup is very high, and I want to collect it."
"Haha, my dad hired a master to make this, isn't it good?" Mu Xiaolong was a little carried away.
Chen Wenzhe didn't say anything, he already knew everything he needed to know, and the rest could only wait.
However, unless Mu Xiaolong’s family goes bankrupt, the real Ming Dynasty gold dragon-patterned goblet will probably never appear.
You can’t see the real thing, but the fake ones are also very fragrant.
Zhang Yijie borrowed an electronic scale and some measuring tools from a nearby gold store, and took the measurements directly.
This gold dragon-patterned goblet has a height of 11.8 cm, a diameter of 11 cm, and a weight of 470g, which is almost a pound. No wonder it feels so good when pressed.
When I calculated the price, I didn’t even have a calculator, so I had to use my mobile phone.
The gold cup weighs 470 grams and is priced at 470 grams. The total price is 220,900 yuan.
He used a large transfer again and transferred the money to Mu Xiaolong's account. At the same time, he also added Mu Xiaolong as a friend so that he could still contact him. Maybe he would gain something?
However, it was unlikely. At this time, Chen Wenzhe had already searched for information and knew that the real gold dragon-patterned goblet from the Ming Dynasty was worth more than 25 million.
After the transaction was over, Mu Xiaolong did not leave, but looked at Chen Wenzhe with a half-smile.
"Do you know what price other gold shops gave me? Three hundred and seven, the price you gave me was four hundred and seven. You must know that they are all old shops, can't you see the craftsmanship of this gold cup?
No matter how good the craftsmanship is, it is still old craftsmanship. Who in modern times can still value such a thing? How about it? Are you dumbfounded? If I hadn't heard about your recent great achievements, I really wouldn't have known to come here."
After finishing speaking, Mu Xiaolong laughed heartily.
When he had laughed enough, he refused to give up.
"Brother, it's really not easy for you to pay 500,000 yuan to buy a high-quality imitation that someone bought for 300 yuan. It's not easy for you to pay 30,000 yuan to buy something that someone else picked up for 300 yuan. Guys like you are better than me, a recognized prodigal.
, but also a waste of money."
Seeing Chen Wenzhe's expression, Mu Xiaolong became even happier.
He continued to press: "I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that when I came to your place, you actually gave me a price that even the old guys didn't offer. You are better than all the old guys in this antique city? Wake up.
Wake up, brother, my advice is offensive to your ears, think about it carefully, haha..."
"I like it, Brother Mu. If you still want to lose your fortune, you must come to me and I will pay a high price!"
Seeing that Mu Xiaolong was about to leave, Chen Wenzhe didn't mind fighting back. They were all prodigals, who was afraid of whom?
Seeing Mu Xiaolong stumble and almost fall, Chen Wenzhe and Zhang Yijie immediately burst into laughter.
Their actions quickly attracted the attention of many people around them.
Mu Xiaolong rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Collect four hundred and seventy grams of gold. If I don't come to you, where will I go? You are the only one who offers the highest price in the entire Dahai City. What are you looking at? What can I, Mu Xiaolong, do?
Nonsense? If you don’t believe me, ask him?”
After saying that, Mu Xiaolong felt a little embarrassed and left in a hurry.
At this time, the news that Chen Wenzhe received gold at 470 yuan per gram also spread.
Chen Wenzhe's face looked a little bad. Don't expect some fool to sell him spot gold, right?
He wanted to keep a low profile, but he was not stupid!
Ignoring those guys watching the excitement, Chen Wenzhe and the two immediately returned to the store.
Zhang Yijie's father happened to be at home, so he also walked in.
"What's going on? The price of finished gold is only 478, how do you collect gold at this price?" Zhang Qianshan asked.
"A very beautiful gold cup, at this price, it's not expensive!" Zhang Yijie said first.
"Even if it's not expensive, you can't be careless. There's no reason why people won't accept it!" Zhang Qianshan was still a little worried.
However, after seeing the dragon-patterned gold cup placed on the table, he couldn't take his eyes away.
This golden cup is so beautiful. Under the light, the golden light is so bright that you can almost look into the eyes of the flower girl.
The term "eyes open for money" is not made up, it is a description and reflection of a real situation.
At this time, Zhang Qianshan was playing with the golden cup in a daze, reluctant to let go.
"What a good thing. Those guys are so evil that they actually want to buy it at the gold price."
After a while, Zhang Qianshan reluctantly put down the gold dragon-patterned goblet.
As soon as Old Zhang put it down, Little Zhang picked it up. Of course, both father and son wore gloves.
Although gold is not easy to corrode, it is better to be careful if you can.
Holding the goblet, Zhang Yijie looked at it carefully, especially the dragon on it.
Chen Wenzhe almost laughed, he knew what Zhang Yijie was thinking.
"This is a modern handicraft, not an antique."
"Ah? It's not an antique? Why are you paying such a high price if it's not an antique?"
Zhang Yijie looked at Chen Wenzhe dumbfounded, wondering if he was not clear-headed?
Before Chen Wenzhe could say anything, Zhang Qianshan slapped Zhang Yijie on the head.
"You are so ignorant that you can't see the craftsmanship of this cup? A master with such superb craftsmanship is not a big cabbage. Just relying on this craftsmanship can increase the price."
Chen Wenzhe nodded. Don't think that modern craftsmanship is not valuable. That's because it has not reached a certain level.
