Chapter 102: Exchange "Twelve Albums of Qiu Ying" (1)
Under Mr. Deng's help, a man came over not long after. That was the Feng Shui master who called Mr. Deng to appraise the "Tourmaline Sword" for He Qing.
I saw that the man was in his fifties, wearing gray ancient clothes, with a thin face and a sparse beard on his chin, and he had a somewhat immortal air.
"Xiao He, this is Master Qu, a famous Feng Shui master." Mr. Deng introduced to He Qing with a smile.
"Hello. My name is He Qing." He Qing greeted the middle-aged man politely.
"Hello, brother He." Master Qu also smiled and nodded, and said, "Old Deng, what's the point of calling me here?"
Mr. Deng replied: "I just want to ask you to help me control my eyes and see something. It is a magic weapon."
"Oh? What kind of magical weapon is it?" Master Qu asked. When Mr. Deng said the word "magical weapon", his eyes visibly lit up, and he suddenly became interested.
Mr. Deng said: "It's a sword, an antique seven-star sword that feels quite special. Master Qu, you have collected magical weapons for so many years, so you must have a good understanding of this type of magical weapons."
"Where is the thing? Let me take a look first and then tell you." Master Qu nodded.
"That's it." He Qing then gently pulled out the child sword from the belly of the mother sword and said, "Master Qu, this is a pair of 'child mother swords'. The mother sword is rusting too much.
Nothing comes out, but this sword is relatively well preserved - look, the rust is not very heavy, right? There are four gems inlaid on both sides of the blade."
"oh--"
Upon seeing this, Master Qu's eyes widened immediately, and the look of surprise in his eyes was clearly evident, but soon he breathed a low breath, and the surprised look on his face gradually softened.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Master Qu didn't say much, but asked calmly: "Brother He, where did you get these seven-star swords? Are you considering transferring them?"
He asked about the transfer, but he said nothing about the quality of the sword. He seemed to be deliberately hiding something.
Hearing what Master Qu said, He Qing and Lin Haitao and others looked at each other in surprise.
He Qing couldn't help but think: "Why did Master Qu want to buy this sword as soon as he saw it?"
Although Master Qu didn't show much enthusiasm at the moment, everyone could see that he really wanted to get the sword.
He Qing smiled faintly and replied: "The sword was given to me by a friend. Master Qu, I haven't thought about it yet. I will talk about the transfer after I have thought about it. What do you think of this sword?"
He knew very well that his question might be in vain. Since Master Qu wanted to buy, he would not tell the truth, at least before negotiating the business. As a buyer, who would tell the truth before negotiating the price?
It's good to praise the other person's stuff vigorously and not find fault with them.
Even so, He Qing knew it well, and Master Qu took a fancy to the sword in his hand at a glance, which further proved the preciousness of the thing.
"Hey, Brother, the stuff is pretty good, I like it better." I heard Master Qu say with a nonchalant answer, "Can you give it to me? Lao Deng also knows that I like to collect magical artifacts, especially old ones that are a certain age.
.”
As expected, he did not directly answer He Qing's question, but instead discussed the business, straight to the point, asking He Qing to sell him the thing.
He Qing shook his head without hesitation and said: "Master Qu, I'm sorry, I really haven't thought about it yet. I can't promise you anything now. To tell you the truth, I also like to collect antique magic weapons, seven-star swords and the like.
I particularly like the sword."
He can't just agree to the other party. If he agrees like this, he will be limited in the price he can get. Master Qu can tell at a glance that he is a very shrewd person. If he talks about this business with him too early, he will
They will only take advantage of you on price.
However, Master Qu was so optimistic about the sword, and He Qing felt very happy. He hoped to sell it at a high price that would satisfy people.
"Old Deng, please take a moment to speak." Master Qu didn't force anything, but called Mr. Deng aside to discuss what they were discussing.
He Qing knew that Master Qu wanted to buy his Seven-Star Sword through Mr. Deng. He was very familiar with Mr. Deng, and the other party would put in good words for him.
"Brother Qing, it seems that Master Qu likes your sword very much." Lin Haitao whispered, "But if he doesn't offer a high price, then there is no need to negotiate!"
He Qing smiled and said: "The tourmaline on the sword is very precious, not to mention it is a magical weapon sword. It is really impossible to negotiate without a certain price."
"Yes!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily.
After a while, Mr. Deng turned around and walked back, while Master Zhou stood there waiting for the news.
"Xiao He," Mr. Deng said solemnly, "Master Qu wants you to give him this Seven-Star Sword. Do you want to consider it? It must be a good thing. Such an exquisite 'evil-proof sword' is very valuable."
It’s hard to see the second one!”
He Qing said sternly: "Mr. Deng, we still don't know much about the current market price of this sword. Even if we negotiate with him, we can't be sure of the price."
Mr. Deng said: "That's what he said. Considering that your sword is inlaid with eight high-quality tourmalines, he asked you a high price. He asked for 800,000! What do you think? The thing is yours, and everything is owned by you."
You make your own decision, if you think it's suitable, sell it to him, otherwise I'll just tell him that you're not willing to sell it yet."
"Eight hundred thousand?!" As soon as the price was announced, He Qing and Lin Haitao couldn't help but feel a rush of enthusiasm. Eight hundred thousand was nearly twenty times higher than the original price of five thousand!
What kind of concept is this? It undoubtedly shows that He Qing made a big mistake this time!
He Qing was actually quite satisfied with the price of 800,000, which was within the range he could accept. However, he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and remained calm from beginning to end on the surface.
"Mr. Deng, is 800,000 appropriate?" Before He Qing could speak, Uncle Long standing next to him spoke first, and he said in a low voice, "Didn't we just estimate that the thing could be sold for more than one million?"
In my opinion, it should be higher than one million."
Mr. Deng said: "I just conveyed Master Qu's words to Xiao He. If the thing can be sent to the auction table, the price will naturally be immeasurable. It is not uncommon to sell it for several million, but now we are negotiating the price face to face with one party. Eighty
You can’t say that 10,000 yuan is too low, right? Xiaohe, you can tell yourself, can you sell it for 800,000 yuan?”
"Mr. Deng, I won't sell it anymore." He Qing shook his head without thinking and said, "Keep the stuff for now. If it's really good, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it for a good price later, right?"
"Well, yes, there's no need to worry." Mr. Deng nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go talk to him and tell him what you mean."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to Master Qu and explained what He Qing meant.
After hearing this, Master Qu had a look of regret on his face. Later he said goodbye to He Qing and the others and left the room in a hurry.
Master Qu's invitation was in vain. He didn't appraise He Qing's sword when he came. However, He Qing was not in a hurry at all and he put the sword away smoothly.
At noon, after eating, He Qing and Lin Haitao were admiring an album in the room. What they collected were some of the treasures that were about to be sold at the auction. The national treasure "Zhang Fei Plum Vase" they had discussed before was among them.
.
"Haitao, what does your grandpa want to receive?" He Qing asked curiously.
"Here, this is it." Lin Haitao pointed to an antique in the catalog and said, "'Qiu Ying's Twelve Albums', my grandfather missed it before. Now he wants to buy it back, but I'm afraid it's not that easy. There are many
People like Qiu Ying’s authentic works and they can’t wait for them. So when the time comes, my grandpa and the others will definitely start a fierce competition, and it’s unclear whether they will be able to buy it in the end.”
He Qing suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Qiu Ying's authentic work. It is indeed rare!"
He then remembered and wondered if he had a large hand scroll in his hand, and that "Hunting Picture of the Ming Dynasty Autumn" was Qiu Ying's masterpiece.
Compared with the current booklet, "Hunting Map of the Ming Dynasty" is naturally more precious, but no one knows about it except him now.
After carefully reading the album, He Qing talked with Lin Haitao for a long time. At about three o'clock, Mr. Deng suddenly called He Qing and said, "Xiao He, come here quickly. Remember
Bring that seven-star sword, Boss Jin’s people are here and they want to talk to you!”
