Walking into the darkroom, Master Tie picked up a porcelain bottle, looked at it, and said to Fatty Hu next to him:
"Now is not the same as before. The common people in the past didn't know how precious these things were. If they lost some money, they would just mortgage the things. It's different now. Even a bottle from the Republic of China, they dared to ask for the price of Yuanqinghua. In the past few years, it's hard to
I have worked hard to save these things. You and Professor Yang should take a look and see what you want, and then we can discuss the price!"
Tie Ye said it calmly.
You can tell at a glance that they do this kind of thing all the time.
Old Fatty Hu was obviously an expert. He looked at these antiques and praised them.
After just a while, he suddenly said:
"What I regret most now is the painting in Zheng Ruhuan's hand. This old Zheng, now that he has made enough money, has begun to have second thoughts. The thing is clearly in his place, but he just refuses to admit it..."
It turns out that Mr. Hu has always been thinking about that painting.
But he never expected that the painting would be in my hands.
After choosing a few things, Mr. Hu and Yang Ximing communicated in low voices.
It seems that they are studying the textual research on the age and quality of these things.
After a while like this, I saw Old Fatty Hu pointing at two bronzes, two volumes of calligraphy and painting, and a Guanyin bottle. He said to Master Tie:
"Master Tie, I want these this time. Please give me a price!"
Master Tie did not answer Hu Laopang's question. Instead, he turned to look at Yang Ximing and said:
"Professor Yang, I have to trouble you. After all, we are not familiar with the antique industry. You can give us an estimate based on the current market price..."
Yang Ximing held an unlit pipe, pointed at a bronze jue, and said:
"Both these two bronzes are from the late Shang Dynasty. Although there are many bronzes unearthed in this era, there are very few with inscriptions on them. These two pieces together, according to the current market price, are about
It should be between 12 and 15 million!”
As he spoke, he pointed to the two paintings and calligraphy works.
"These two works, one is "Spring Residence Looking at the Mountain" by Gu Hongzhong during the Five Dynasties period, and the other is "Treading Water Song" by Mi Youren. Although the appearance is incomplete, the quality is the best among handed down calligraphy and painting works.
According to the current market price, the price of these two paintings should be around 500 to 8 million. As for the enamel Guanyin bottle, it is estimated to be between 200 and 400..."
As soon as Yang Ximing finished speaking, he didn't wait for Master Tie to speak.
Fatty Hu said directly:
"Since Professor Yang has already given the estimate, I won't go into details. I will pay according to the upper limit for each item. Master Tie, can I, Old Fatty Hu, do this?"
Master Tie looked at these things and said:
"Master Hu is an upright man. But please don't tell Master Hu that these things come from our Qin family after he returns to Yundian. Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and Fourth Master and I will not be able to explain it!"
Judging from the meaning behind these words, Tie Ye and Qin Sihai seem to be quite wary of certain forces in Yundian.
So who are they afraid of?
I heard Fatty Hu laughing loudly and said cheerfully:
"This is not our first transaction. I understand this! In this way, I will leave the things here with you first. I will bring the money over the next two days and then take the things away!"
Tie Ye nodded.
Exit the darkroom and return to the room you just entered.
After chatting for a while, Fatty Hu suddenly smiled evilly and said to Master Tie in a low voice:
"Master Tie, this time I came to Fengtian, I, Lao Hu, haven't eaten meat yet?"
Master Tie still had a straight face and said calmly:
"This is simple. I just want Mr. Hu to tell me what he likes. Huan Fei Yanshou has a request, and I will let someone arrange it!"
Fatty Hu chuckled and said:
"I heard that the Orchid Sect is in Fengtian and elects an oiran who is more beautiful than anyone else and is still having her first night. I wonder if Mr. Tie can arrange it?"
The oiran of the Orchid Gate?
My heart skipped a beat when I heard it.
The oiran he was talking about was Su Mei's sister, Su Yuzhu.
Unexpectedly, Fatty Hu actually had an idea for Su Yuzhu.
Listening to this, Master Tie couldn't help but frown and said apologetically:
"I'm afraid this won't work. The master of the Orchid Sect, Sui Jiangwan, has a close relationship with our Fourth Master. The Fourth Master requested that we, the Qin family, are not allowed to participate in anything involving the Orchid Sect..."
Fatty Hu, who had been looking forward to it just now, suddenly felt disappointed.
But Tie Ye added another sentence:
"I don't know much about the Orchid Sect. But I think they are just prostitutes. If Mr. Hu is interested, you can go there in person. With Mr. Hu's financial resources, can't he get a prostitute?"
Fatty Hu laughed as he listened.
"What you said is correct. Let me go back and take a look. Is this oiran living up to his reputation?"
After everyone chatted for a few words, Yang Ximing stood up and left.
The two of us were still sitting on the battery car and looked back at the manor.
The lights are brightly lit here, and the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing.
It's a pity that I only saw the tip of the iceberg today.
On the way back, Yang Ximing kept smoking his pipe.
He frowned, looking thoughtful.
Seeing that Mercedes-Benz was about to enter the city, Yang Ximing suddenly sighed and said:
"It's a pity that such a good thing fell into the hands of these people..."
What Yang Ximing was talking about should be the cultural relics just mentioned.
He looked out the window and muttered again:
"These things, after entering Yundian, will probably leave the country!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ximing turned to look at me and asked:
"Chu Liu, what do you think of me?"
I was stunned, not understanding why Yang Ximing suddenly asked this question.
