"Pretty much. I just don't know how well the contents inside have been preserved after these thousands of years."
This is the key point and also Chen Wenzhe’s trump card!
"It should be no problem. Boss Chen should have heard it just now. There was only a slight sound. The porcelain inside is unlikely to be damaged."
The middle-aged man said very confidently that they have been studying it for a long time. There may be some broken ones, but they are very small. The most likely thing is that they are a piece of split porcelain!
However, there are all kinds of possibilities, and they don’t dare to gamble!
"This is not certain. Also, it is still unknown what kind of porcelain will be fired in the end. If we don't open it and take a look, even the kiln workers back then can't guarantee anything."
The middle-aged man fell silent. If it weren't for this, would he have stayed away?
It's because there is an unknown quantity inside! He can be sure that the things baked inside must be high-quality.
However, without opening the sagger, who knows what this exquisite piece is? Was it successfully fired?
Even if the firing is successful, there are still too many possibilities.
Sticking together? What if it cannot be opened?
Also, after thousands of years, who knows whether the porcelain inside has been knocked or not?
Even if it's not broken, if there's a knock or a crack, if he opens it, wouldn't that make him uncomfortable?
If Chen Wenzhe had no system and no help from Sui Houzhizhu, would he also have to worry about this?
Seeing that the middle-aged man was silent, Chen Wenzhe continued: "Do you plan to sell this thing as one piece of celadon, or as two pieces?"
"Two of course!" the middle-aged man said immediately.
Chen Wenzhe nodded and said: "Then at what level should we take action?"
"Let's talk about the outer sagger first. It's the top-grade celadon from the Tang Dynasty. This one is fine. Then the one inside should be better than it, and it should be much better. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to use such an exquisite sagger to bake."
"Yes. If the sagger outside is worth one hundred thousand, the porcelain inside cannot be worth only two hundred thousand, but at least three to five hundred thousand. Otherwise, there is no need to use the best sagger." Chen Wenzhe chuckled.
Follow the path.
When Chen Wenzhe said this, the middle-aged man was a little surprised. He didn't know what Chen Wenzhe was thinking.
"Boss Chen, there's no need to be too pretentious. Let's first tell you what price you can give for the sagger outside!"
The middle-aged man finally felt that his knowledge was not enough, so he asked again.
Chen Wenzhe nodded and said: "Ordinary Yue kiln celadon has a maximum price of 100,000 yuan. Isn't this price low?"
"That's too low. The Yue kiln celadon porcelain from the Tang Dynasty is worth half a million!" the middle-aged man immediately countered the offer.
Chen Wenzhe shook his head directly: "If it is a fine Tang Dynasty celadon porcelain, it must be worth half a million, but this is a sagger, and it is an early product of the Tang Dynasty. You can see the bubbles on the surface. This is the limitation of the times. The price
It can't be higher, maybe 100,000 at most.
I’m not trying to sell anything. Regardless of whether the porcelain inside is in good condition or not, I plan to take a gamble and give you five times the price of the sagger outside. This should be the most reasonable. In other words, the total of the two will add up.
Six hundred thousand, please think about it."
"The total is only 600,000? This price is too low." The middle-aged man shook his head directly.
Seeing that he didn't show too much resistance or react too fiercely, Chen Wenzhe knew that the price he mentioned should still be above his bottom line.
That's good, he was afraid of meeting a national treasure gang. At that time, no matter how high the price he offered, they would still find it too low!
"Give me a price. After all, a blind box like this is a bit high-end. I can't make up my mind at the moment. As long as it's not too outrageous, I still want to take a gamble!"
The subtext is clear: if the asking price is too outrageous, he won't bet.
As an adult, I naturally understand.
This is too much of a gamble, otherwise, they would have opened it long ago.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said: "I know that the price of fine celadon is four to five million, so I'm not lying about the price of the sagger outside. It's half a million, and the one inside is at least five million.
Five and a half million for two pieces!”
"You are right. The top Yue Kiln celadon can be sold for more than 5 million. However, it is a Yue Kiln celadon with complex craftsmanship and well-preserved. If it is priced at 5.5 million, then I will still
It’s better to buy something you can see.”
Chen Wenzhe pointed to the sagger on the table. Few of the fine Yue kiln celadon that can be seen can be sold for more than five million. It must be in good condition and with better craftsmanship.
But now, what he bought was a blind box. It would be outrageous to trade at this price.
Seeing that the middle-aged man still wanted to defend himself, Chen Wenzhe didn't want to waste any more time, because he had already roughly figured out the middle-aged man's background.
"I think you are really knowledgeable, so you won't hide it. Just look at the value of the sagger outside. So anyone can guess that the value of the porcelain fired inside must be higher. But
, the value of your sagger is at most one hundred thousand, and this is still the market price. If you buy it at this price, I won't make a penny."
When Chen Wenzhe said this, the middle-aged man fell silent.
Chen Wenzhe continued: "Even if it is calculated at ten times the price, the thing inside you can only cost one million. This price should be very high. Since you don't plan to open this sagger, you have to give up part of it.
Profit, otherwise, why should we buy this sagger at the market price?
Since you are all knowledgeable, you should know the rules of the antique shop, which is to give you at most 30% of the market price. Even if your two items are worth 6 million, 30% of the price is only 1.8 million."
"One million and eighty million is too low!" After holding on for a while, the middle-aged man said again.
When he said this, Chen Wenzhe almost laughed out of anger.
"It's meaningless for you to say that. I didn't pay 1.8 million. I was making an analogy, hypothetically!"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "At least five million!"
When Chen Wenzhe heard this, he gave up: "No way!"
After saying that, he straightened up without intending to bid again.
He offered 600,000 yuan, but this person didn't react too violently, and now he's still holding on to the price of 5 million yuan?
Although he could see the lotus bowl inside, he also knew that it should be well preserved.
But besides him, can anyone else see it?
Who can guarantee that the contents inside will be well preserved?
The most important thing is that no one knows what is inside.
Chen Wenzhe thought quickly and realized that the current price of high-quality Yue kiln celadon on the market is indeed around five million.
The cheap ones are two to three million, the expensive ones are five to six million, and the most expensive ones can reach 16 million, which are the auction prices in the past two years.
Calculated based on this maximum price, it actually costs five million, which is really not expensive.
Thirty percent of 16 million is still 4.8 million, which is considered the going price!
But, again, this is opening a blind box, which has a lot of gambling potential.
