In addition to the oracle bone inscriptions on the deer skull, another oracle bone inscription on the ox shoulder blade also gave Chen Feng a strong attraction.
So, Chen Feng took Tong Yongkang to the cow shoulder blade and asked him to explain to him the general content recorded on it.
This time Tong Yongkang quickly gave the answer. The above records were about hunting, which was to predict the good or bad luck of the hunting.
According to Tong Yongkang, a complete oracle bone inscription has four parts: narrative, destiny, divination and verification. When? Who? What questions should be asked? What is the result of the divination? Finally, wait for things to be done
Afterwards, a verification statement must be engraved to verify the outcome of this matter.
It is a pity that the oracle bone inscriptions on the ox shoulder blade are not complete. It only records about one-third of the content. The narratives are missing, the fortune-telling and fortune telling are not complete, and there are no verification words.
But even so, Chen Feng could feel the huge energy contained in it.
Although it is not the oracle bone inscription that resembles a deer skull that Chen Feng wants most, there is no doubt that if he can get it, Chen Feng will be happy for a long time.
Except for these two pieces, not every piece of the other oracle bones contains energy.
Chen Feng looked at the display cabinets one by one and made a rough calculation. There were about 120 or 30 oracle bones here, but at least half of them did not contain energy.
I don’t know if these powerless oracles are fake, or if their original energy has been lost due to some unknown reason.
Except for the two pieces that brought Chen Feng the most attraction before, the rest contained less energy than the four oracle bones he had before.
But even so, it is much better than the art works Chen Feng collected before.
The one with the lowest energy content should be enough for him to smoke for ten and a half days.
Therefore, if he can get all the oracle bones that can be used here, he will not have to worry about it for at least several years in the future.
After looking at every piece of oracle bone inscription in these showcases, Chen Feng looked directly at Tang Xingfa and said: "Mr. Tang, I am very interested in the oracle bone inscriptions you have here. Do you think you can part with them? The price is easy to talk about."
Tang Xingfa looked at Chen Feng in surprise.
When Hu Shilong introduced Chen Feng before, he only said that Chen Feng is the boss of Fengmang Film and Television Company and has produced hit dramas such as "The Jade Case" and "Flying Flowers".
It's a pity that the old man has no impression of these two ancient puppet shows and is not very interested in them.
Therefore, in Tang Xingfa's opinion, Chen Feng was probably Hu Shilong's ordinary friend and came to join in the fun.
Unexpectedly, Chen Feng would buy his collection as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tang Xingfa looked at Hu Shilong, his eyes telling him what was going on?
Hu Shilong immediately said with a smile: "This friend of mine is very interested in oracle bone inscriptions. This time I brought him to your place to see the oracle bone inscriptions. If Mr. Tang you are willing to give up your love and sell him some, that would be the best."
"
The meaning of his words was more obvious. Chen Feng was a friend he valued more, and he hoped Mr. Tang would give him some face.
After Tang Xingfa heard this, he looked confused for a while and then said: "Well, for Shilong's sake, I will sell you two pieces. However, we have to remove the oracle bone inscriptions on the deer skull and the oracle bone inscriptions on the ox shoulder blades.
, you can pick the others as you please.”
Although Chen Feng was a little disappointed when he heard that he would sell two pieces, he could still accept it, because the Oracle here was the two pieces that he valued most.
As a result, Tang Xingfa changed the topic and said that besides these two pieces of oracle bone inscriptions, Chen Feng was immediately disappointed.
At this time, Ji Hongsheng, the magic fortune teller, immediately said: "Brother Tang, you can't do this. Why do you want other than these two yuan? Mr. Chen came to buy it very sincerely and agreed on the price. You can't do this."
It’s not good to reject people thousands of miles away.”
Tang Xing found that Ji Hongsheng actually stood up for Chen Feng and called Chen Feng "sir" very politely. He immediately understood that Chen Feng should be more than just the boss of a film and television company.
At the same time, he also found that Hu Shilong's face was a little ugly.
This is also understandable. Hu Shilong boasted about Haikou before bringing Chen Feng here, saying that he could guarantee that Chen Feng could buy at least a few pieces. As a result, Tang Xingfa was only willing to sell Chen Feng two pieces, and he had to exclude those two pieces, which looked like high-quality products.
Oracle, isn't this a slap in the face?
For a veteran like Tang Xingfa, his ability to observe words and emotions is first-rate.
Taking into consideration the attitudes of Hu Shilong and Ji Hongsheng towards Chen Feng, he immediately pretended to be helpless and explained: "It's not that I don't want to sell these two pieces of oracle bones, but that these two pieces are very rare and exquisite. The relevant units have always wanted me to hand them over, but
I kept resisting but refused to hand it over. In the end, they had no choice but to ask me to register these two pieces of oracle bones, and warned me not to sell them to outsiders, otherwise I would be legally responsible. So, in order to avoid trouble, I compared the two pieces.
I can’t sell the special Oracle.”
Chen Feng immediately said: "If I can only buy two pieces, I hope it will be these two pieces. Mr. Tang, do you think you can think of a way? The price is really easy to say, it can be 20% higher than the market price."
When Hu Shilong heard this, he immediately waved his hand proudly and said: "Since my friend likes it, you agree. If there is any problem, I will help you solve it."
Ji Hongsheng also immediately said: "Brother Tang, since you know that I am a fortune teller, you should have heard something about me. Without the introduction of a friend and the guarantee of an intermediary, I would not be able to tell people's fortunes. If it were not for the world this time,
Long just happened to bring me to your house as a guest. Normally, if you want to invite me, it's not that easy. If you can part with these two oracle bones that Mr. Chen likes, I can promise to help you tell your fortune twice for free, including this time.
"
The implication of Ji Hongsheng's words was that if Tang Xingfa didn't agree, he wouldn't tell the other party's fortune.
As soon as Tang Xingfa heard what he said, he felt pressure instantly.
He really needed Ji Hongsheng's help in fortune telling this time. This was related to a major event in his precious grandson's life, and also related to the rise and fall of their old Tang family in the next few decades.
Therefore, after Tang Xingfa hesitated for a while, he looked reluctant to give up, gritted his teeth and clapped his hands, and said: "Okay, okay, since Boss Chen is interested in these two pieces of fine oracle bones, and Shilong is the guarantee,
The fortune teller interceded, and I agreed."
He sold three points of favor in one fell swoop.
However, Chen Feng really wanted to accept his favor this time, because these two oracle bones were of great use to him, especially the deer skull oracle bone inscriptions, which might even cure his cancer.
So, Chen Feng said solemnly: "Thank you very much. I really like these two pieces of oracle bone inscriptions. Thank you for parting with me. If there are any legal issues, I can take responsibility."
Hu Shilong immediately said generously: "You don't have to worry about this. If there is any problem, I will help Mr. Tang solve it together."
Tang Xingfa also nodded in agreement.
In fact, he can solve this so-called legal problem by himself, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to resist handing it over in the first place. Even ordinary people can't stand it, and he can teach you how to behave in minutes.
As a well-known collector, it is impossible to become famous if you do not have some connections and strength background.
"Then I'm not polite. You can tell me the price."
Chen Feng directly asked the other party to make an offer. Tang Xingfa was not unambiguous and directly raised a hand to gesture towards Chen Feng.
After Tang Xingfa was stunned for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "When the relevant departments asked me to hand it over more than ten years ago, they were willing to pay 6 million, but I did not agree. Later, some people were interested in these two pieces, and the one with the highest price
The price was over 40 million, but I didn’t sell it.”
"Fifty million?" Hu Shilong frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Tang, your price is a bit high. I remember that I had auctioned oracle bones at the auction in Shanghai before. It was a relatively complete ox shoulder blade, at least higher than yours."
The piece here is larger and has more text, and it sold for more than eight million in the end."
Ji Hongsheng also helped: "Yes, the price is a bit outrageous. Even if these two pieces are high-quality products, they shouldn't be so expensive."
Tang Xingfa was not angry at all, but patiently explained: "This beef shoulder blade is indeed worth eight to nine million at most, but this deer skull is the best of the best and is very rare. I also asked someone from the auction house to give it an estimate before.
It was overvalued, and the other party said that the lowest price was 40 million, and if you were lucky, you might even get hundreds of millions. So, my price of 50 million was really not expensive, and it was already a friendly price."
Tong Yongkang, who had not spoken much at this time, said: "Although there are few oracle bones on deer skulls, they are not very rare. I have seen one before, and it was more complete than yours. Later he sold it and only
It was sold for more than one million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to less than 10 million in our national currency. Of course, that was five or six years ago. So, even if there is a premium now, it should not increase so much."
Tang Xingfa became a little unhappy when he heard this. He frowned and said, "Are you saying that I made an arbitrary price and that I lied?"
Tong Yongkang said seriously: "That's not what I meant. Maybe the people at the auction house made a mistake in their valuation."
Hu Shilong also said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you can't use the auction house's price to set the price. We all know that some things in the auction house are in deep water. Things that are only worth one yuan can be auctioned for one hundred yuan.
, even a thousand yuan.”
Tang Xingfa felt the pressure again and wondered where Chen Feng came from. Why did Hu Shilong support him so much?
"Boss Chen, tell me yourself, how much are you willing to pay for these two oracle bones?"
Tang Xingfa directly put the question to Chen Feng, the buyer.
In fact, Chen Feng can still accept the price of 50 million. After all, money is really just a number to him, not to mention that spending this money can save lives. As long as he absorbs the energy in the deer skull oracle bone, there is a high probability that
can cure his terminal illness.
So, is 50 million expensive? For Chen Feng now, it is really not that expensive.
However, Hu Shilong and the three of them helped him lower the price, so of course he couldn't hold back. After thinking about it, he tried to bid: "How about 30 million?"
When Tang Xingfa heard the price, he couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth. He thought that even if the other party negotiated the price, it would only be reduced to 40 million, but it was actually reduced to 30 million.
Hu Shilong immediately said: "I think this price is very reasonable. Thirty million, Mr. Tang, I think this is the price. After all, when you bought it, it was only a few dozen yuan, or you could buy it by the pound."
Yes, a few yuan per catty. If you sell it at this price now, you have already made a fortune."
"How could you buy it by the pound?" Tang Xingfa immediately denied loudly, "I exchanged this deer skull from another collector by chance more than 20 years ago. I used a famous tea kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.
The tea cup was worth at least several hundred thousand at that time, but now it is worth twenty to thirty million."
Ji Hongsheng immediately said: "Then Mr. Chen's quotation of 30 million is very reasonable."
Tong Yongkang also nodded in agreement: "This price is very suitable."
Tang Xingfa shook his head and said: "Thirty million is a bit low, maybe forty million. This is really a conscientious price. I will pay the tax when the time comes. This tax is not low."
Chen Feng asked: "How much tax will it cost?"
Tang Xingfa said: "If we both trade in the name of the company, we will probably have to pay 20% tax. Forty million yuan will be about eight million yuan in tax."
Hu Shilong curled his lips and said: "The rules of this cultural relics transaction are that the seller pays tax."
Tang Xingfa defended: "That's right, but if I pay taxes on the price of 30 million, I can only get more than 20 million. I really can't sell it."
Chen Feng was too lazy to bargain with him anymore and said directly: "Okay, then 40 million."
"Happy!" Tang Xingfa gave Chen Feng a thumbs up and said happily, "That's it. I'll have someone print out the contract and send it over later, and you can just ask your company to transfer the money."
"Okay, then hurry up."
Ji Hongsheng suddenly said: "Brother Tang, you see how generous Mr. Chen is, how about you be more generous and put two oracle bones as gifts?"
Tang Xingfa looked at Ji Hongsheng speechlessly and said to himself, "You think this is buying vegetables, and I gave you two green onions?"
Chen Feng gave Ji Hongsheng an appreciative look, which made the latter very happy.
"Mr. Tang, do you think you would like to sell me a few oracle bones for five hundred thousand a piece?"
"No, no, no." Tang Xingfa shook his head repeatedly, "I sold the two best pieces to you, and I don't plan to sell the worse ones anymore."
Hu Shilong smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, since you have sold the best ones, what's the point of keeping the bad ones? It's better to sell them too."
Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Let's do this. I'll pay you another 30 million, and you let me pick out 50 pieces of oracle bones. What do you think?"
Tang Xingfa was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Well, as long as you pay a total price of 120 million, I will give you all the oracle bone inscriptions."
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head slowly: "The price is a bit high. If it is 80 million, I will cover it all."
"Eighty million is too little, the minimum is 110 million."
"The most I can offer is 80 million."
"You are not sincere."
"If you don't sell it for 80 million, I won't be able to do anything about it."
Tang Xingfa tried to bargain, but Chen Feng insisted on 80 million and refused to let go.
It wasn't that Chen Feng suddenly cared about money, but that he suddenly realized that the old man was very cunning and dishonest. If he agreed to the other party's offer without thinking, the other party might feel that he had lost money by selling the two fine oracle bones.
Therefore, before actually getting those two high-quality oracle bones, Chen Feng would not act too stupid and have too much money.
