"Seven hundred thousand? So much!" Mr. Lin was shocked. Obviously, he only knew that his pair of porcelain cups were treasures, but he had no idea how much they were worth. Chen Ran offered seven hundred thousand as soon as he opened his mouth.
It frightened him all of a sudden.
This is exactly the effect Chen Ran wants. Of course, in addition to this effect, these two Flower God Cups are indeed worth so much. Mr. Lin does not know the value of these two Flower God Cups, but it does not mean that Uncle Lin does not know either.
Uncle Lin has been collecting them for so many years, so he must have found out the origins of these two Flower God Cups. He originally accepted them without telling Uncle Lin, and if he accepted them at a lower price, it would undoubtedly be too unkind.
Although the antique business has specific ethics and morals and is not subject to ordinary moral constraints, even if he took the two Flower God Cups from Mr. Lin without telling Uncle Lin, no one would say anything.
It's just that in this way, he will eventually fall behind. This is undoubtedly what Mr. Bai told him to "try your best, but don't force it."
There are two Flower God Cups, one is the June Lotus Cup and the other is the September Chrysanthemum Cup. The Lotus Cup is more common and its value is generally between 250,000 and 300,000. The September Chrysanthemum Cup is about 500,000.
Adding the two together, the price is about 800,000. Of course, this is only calculated based on the auction records of the auction house. The specific price depends on the situation. After all, the Flower God Cup is relatively rare, and people have bitten it to death.
Selling, Chen Ran had no choice but to accept it at a high price. Compared with the profit after putting together a complete set, Chen Ran could basically accept it as long as the price was not too outrageous.
Not only was Mr. Lin shocked, but Xiaoqiang was also obviously shocked, looking at Mr. Lin eagerly.
Mr. Lin seemed to be a little moved, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head: "No, you can't sell it for 700,000 yuan. I can't be the master. If I sell it to the old man, the old man will definitely be angry to death."
"Eight hundred thousand!" Without the slightest hesitation, Mr. Lin just shook his head, and Chen Ran immediately increased the price again, and directly raised the price by 100,000.
Mr. Lin and Xiaoqiang both looked at Chen Ran with their eyes wide open in surprise, and their breathing became somewhat rapid.
"Dad, how about... no..." Xiaoqiang looked at Chen Ran and then at the two Flower God Cups. His eyes were red, and he stuttered a little in excitement.
Mr. Lin was no more excited than Xiaoqiang, but he had more experience after all. He glared at Xiaoqiang fiercely, looked at Chen Ran, and then at the two Flower God Cups, obviously he was also having an ideological struggle.
, a trickle of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing that Mr. Lin was having an ideological struggle, Chen Ran was already considering whether to raise the price. What he had to do now was to completely shock Mr. Lin and not give him a chance to think, so as not to cause trouble again when he wakes up.
.
But before he could increase the price, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open with a click.
"What are you doing?" Then an old lady in her sixties suddenly walked in and looked at them with a look of shock and anger.
Chen Ran secretly thought something was wrong. No need to guess, this old lady is also Xiaoqiang's grandmother. If the old lady found out, Uncle Lin would definitely know about it. I'm afraid...
The sudden appearance of the old lady obviously startled both Mr. Lin and Xiao Qiang. Both of them were a little dumbfounded, but Mr. Lin was the first to react. He glared at Xiao Qiang fiercely and hurriedly greeted her with a forced smile.
"Mom...why are you here?"
"Why do you think I came here? If I don't come here, do you want to make your father angry to death? I think you are healed and your scars don't hurt. You have to make your father angry to death..." The old lady was so angry.
Not lightly, it directly pinched Mr. Lin’s ears.
"Xiaoqiang, look at things first, Mom, listen to me..." Mr. Lin hid in a panic, looked back at Chen Ran, told Xiaoqiang, and pushed the old lady out.
.
Chen Ran sighed in his heart. Now that he was caught doing something wrong, he could only place his hope on Mr. Lin. He hoped that Mr. Lin could persuade the old lady.
Although he thought that the process of collecting a complete set of the Kangxi Dynasty's five-color Flower God's Cup would be difficult, Chen Ran still didn't expect that the process would be so unsatisfactory. First, he could not contact Mr. Jiang, and now Uncle Lin's two Flower God's Cups are in sight.
He was about to get it, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. If the old lady told Uncle Lin what happened again, the chance of success would undoubtedly be even lower.
Looking at the two Flower God Cups placed there, he waited. Originally, Chen Ran wanted to ask Xiaoqiang about Uncle Lin's preferences, but Xiaoqiang was very wary of him and guarded the two flower cups closely.
Even when the Divine Grail came close, he wouldn't let him get close. Even if he asked questions, he would only say that he didn't know, so Chen Ran could only leave it at that.
"Oh, I still can't sell it to you. The old man cares too much about this thing. If I sell it to you, he will risk his life for me..." Not long after, Mr. Lin came back with a disappointed look on his face, followed by the old lady.
But the old lady didn't come in. She stood at the door and scanned the people in the room fiercely.
Chen Ran sighed. This result was within his expectation, but he would definitely not be willing to leave like this...
"You name the highest price. You offer the highest price. I'll ask the old man if he's willing to sell. If he's willing, it's easy. If he's not willing, there's nothing you can do." Not only was Chen Ran unwilling to give in, so was Mr. Lin.
As for Gan Xing, he can't understand the old man's mentality. In his opinion, these two broken cups can't be eaten or drunk. If converted into money, it would be a small million. Now his son is worried about getting married.
For those who want to buy a house, with this money, they will undoubtedly be able to buy a nice house, but the old man will definitely not think so, and there is nothing he can do about it.
"The highest I can offer is 830,000!" Although he knew there was little hope, Chen Ran still quoted him a price. This price was almost his lowest limit, and he would basically be able to get it at the auction.
This price was achieved.
"Eight hundred and thirty thousand, wait a minute, I'll call and ask." Mr. Lin looked at Chen Ran intently, then took out his phone, walked to the side and started making calls.
"Hey, dad, it's me. Let me tell you something. A little brother came to our house to find you. He said he was your... collector. He wanted to see your collection, so I will take him there.
You took a look inside the house, I know, I know, he wanted to buy it, but I didn’t sell it to him. I made it clear to him before letting him look at it. I just didn’t want to sell it. Yes, yes, that’s when he looked at it.
, I let it slip that you still have a pair of treasures. He said he would bid 830,000 yuan for them. I called you just to ask you... No, I didn't let him see it. I just took pictures of you.
I showed him the photo. He wants to take it. You see... not selling it? I know, I know. How dare I not sell it if you don’t say it? Oh, don’t come back. Don’t worry, I won’t.
Selling him, my mother is by my side, okay, okay..." Mr. Lin handed the phone to the old lady, spread his hands and looked helplessly at Chen Ran.
Chen Ran heard clearly the conversation between Mr. Lin and Uncle Lin. At first, he heard that it was a Tibetan friend who came to see something. Uncle Lin didn't say anything. He just told Mr. Lin that he only wanted to see the things for sale.
When Mr. Lin mentioned the two Flower God Cups, Uncle Lin immediately fell out. First he scolded Mr. Lin, saying that if Mr. Lin dared to sell his pair of Flower God Cups, he would wait for him
I will have to beat Mr. Lin to death when I come back. I am still worried about this. I have to rush back immediately. I will hand the phone to the old lady, and I will undoubtedly let the old lady guard it.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and hide the things. Just put them in the way you took them out. Don't let him find out that you touched his things..." The old lady hung up the phone and told Mr. Lin.
.
"The old man has a lot of treasures, but he doesn't want to sell them. See if you like any of those bottles. If you don't, just take them back." Mr. Lin also held back his breath and became a little impatient when he spoke.
Chen Ran was unwilling to leave, so he moved away from Mr. Lin and said, "I like these cups very much. See if there is any other way to make the old man part with me..."
Before Chen Ran finished speaking, Mr. Lin waved his hand and said: "The old man will never sell it. He only has these treasures in his heart, and he doesn't care about anything else." Mr. Lin was obviously angry with Uncle Lin.
"What kind of collecting hobbies does Uncle Lin have? For example, Uncle Lin has always wanted to collect a kind of antique, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to collect it. Or are there other antiques that are important to Uncle Lin and can make Uncle Lin better than this one?
Two cups are still precious, I can find this antique and exchange it with Uncle Lin..."
Nowadays, it is an era of collecting by all the people. There are many collectors and few antiques. Especially those precious and heavy objects are even rarer. They cannot satisfy the huge number of collectors at all. Not everyone can collect them.
It's a treasure. Collectors are so treasured when they get a kind of antique boutique that they won't be willing to part with it. But after all, everyone's preferences are different. Some collectors like porcelain, and some collectors like bronze.
, those who like porcelain get a fine piece of bronze ware, and collectors who like copper ware get a famous kiln important item. If you want to buy it directly, you will not be willing to part with it. In this way, you can undoubtedly exchange it, or if you meet someone you like more, you want it.
Collect it, but the owner will not sell it, unless you also bring out a treasure that they like... Wait, in the antique circle, mutual exchange is very common, even more common than direct payment.
"These two cups are very dear to the old man. Whatever you bring over, he won't exchange them with you." Mr. Lin put the two flower cups into the box and waved his hand impatiently.
.
Chen Ran was a little disappointed when he suddenly heard Mr. Lin continue to say: "The only thing that can make the old man more precious than these two cups is that crappy thing, but even if the old man is willing to change it, you can't get it."
