"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 high-quality 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 looks on their faces. They thought He Qing could offer up to 200,000 yuan, but who knew that He Qing could offer two million yuan at a time!
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 kidding." He Qing looked serious and said in 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 in, but the price must not be lower than this price."
"Two million, how is that possible?!" Hearing this, the man's face turned pale, he shook his head vigorously and said, "Mr. He, please be more realistic. Just your blue and white porcelain, you still want to sell it for two million
?!With such a high price, it’s not hard to buy any good porcelain!”
He was obviously angry, angry at He Qing for setting unrealistic and random prices. What he thought he could buy for tens of thousands of yuan 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'm just starting from the actual situation, otherwise it will definitely be more than this price." He Qing 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 you the thing."
I never thought about selling it to you before. I brought it over after receiving a call from Haitao. My original intention was to show it to 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 nothing we can do. The price is just this. It's up to you whether you accept it or not." He Qing shook his head helplessly, without making any concessions.
"Brother He, 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 blankly, 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 He, 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 He, you are so awesome!"
After Chen Qin and the others walked away, Lin Haitao, a clear bystander, walked up to He Qing and whispered with a smile: "Two million, how dare you offer such a price? If it were an ordinary person, it would be like a museum."
I feel honored to collect it immediately. 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."
He Qing said with a smile: "I said, it's the same whether you're doing business with a museum or with an individual. It doesn't mean that after I sell my things to the museum, I will still be a part of it. It's better to be more practical."
Lin Haitao 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 freedom.
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
Two hundred 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.
By then it will be too late to regret!”
He Qing 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." Lin Haitao said in a comforting tone.
"Brother He, let me tell you something."
Just at this moment, Uncle Long 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 short. Brother He, let's see if you can think about it. Of course, it depends on your own wishes. I'm just helping him convey their thoughts."
Chen Qin and the others asked Uncle Long to be their lobbyist, which was a bit beyond He Qing's expectation, but this was naturally a good thing, indicating that there was room for negotiation with Chen Qin and the others.
"Uncle Long, you have already stood up for them, so of course I have to think about it again. Otherwise, you know, I received the things for 18,000, and now I transfer them for 1,800,000.
The two million just now is 200,000 less, but this is my limit price, and it can never be lower. If they don't accept it, forget it, I will take the things back and treasure them." He Qing said solemnly.
replied.
What he meant was that the two hundred thousand less was entirely for Uncle Long's sake, otherwise he wouldn't have lost a penny.
"One million and eight hundred thousand?" Uncle Long and Lin Haitao looked at each other with thoughtful expressions in their eyes.
Then Uncle Long nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll go talk to Chen Qin and the others."
"Thank you, Uncle Long." He Qing said politely.
Soon Uncle Long and Chen Qin came over. Chen Qin, who was walking at the front, greeted He Qing with a smile on his face and said: "Brother He, 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." He Qing nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Things have come to a complete conclusion at this point, which is a relatively ideal result for He Qing.
What he has to wait for now is the city museum’s final decision!
