Ye Chen nodded: "Okay, then let's make an agreement like this. If I lose, I will eat the fan. If you lose, you will eat the jade pendant."
"Fuck!" Kong Delong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I don't fucking believe it anymore! It's settled! The transaction price of my jadeite is 24 million, and I have transaction records to prove it. How much is your broken fan worth?"
Ye Chen didn't know how much this fan was worth.
However, he knew that Qi Baishi's paintings had been rising rapidly in recent years, and the price of his works was rising much faster than the price of jade.
Although this is just a fan, it is by no means a random graffiti, but a very carefully drawn picture of good fortune and longevity.
Qi Baishi's top-notch painting "High Standing Pines and Cypresses" was auctioned for more than 400 million, and this was the auction price ten years ago. If it were auctioned now, it might even exceed 800 million.
Gu Yanzhong is not an ordinary person. The things he collects, even if it is a fan, must be the best work of old man Baishi.
Since it is a high-quality work, the fan alone would probably cost tens of millions. Add in the top-quality fan ribs with perfect golden scars, and the price must be well over 24 million.
So, Ye Chen said: "You can ask someone who knows painting to evaluate how much this fan is worth."
"Fan face?" Kong Delong curled his lips: "What the hell, the painting is so ugly!"
A knowledgeable person nearby immediately exclaimed: "Oh! This seems to be a painting by Qi Baishi! The fan with the picture of happiness and longevity, this fan is very famous!"
"Yes!" Someone echoed from the side: "This page seems to have been auctioned by Christie's a few years ago. If I remember correctly, it should have been sold by Chairman Gu of the Gu family for 48.88 million!
"
"Chairman Gu? Is this the Chairman Gu who announced his recovery in a high-profile manner yesterday and regained control of the Gu Group?"
"Yes, it's him!"
"It's strange. Why does this young man have Chairman Gu's collection in his hands? Could it be stolen?"
"Stealing? That's unlikely, but it can't be the real thing either. I guess it's a fake, or it was copied by a contemporary master."
Kong Delong heard these conversations, with a bit of a sneer on his lips, and said to Ye Chen: "Okay, Ye Chen, you actually fooled my grandma with a fake. You are really looking for death!"
Kong Delong's grandma said awkwardly: "Oh, you two, don't fight here like children. Courtesy are light on affection, so why bother to find out the real price? Delong, you take a step back, after all, Ye Chen is a guest.
, and he came from a long way away!”
"How can that be done!" Kong Delong gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, this grandson has tricked me so badly. I will definitely not let it go with him this time!"
As he said that, he shook the folding fan in his hand and sneered: "Oh, Ye Chen, if this fan of yours is real, it is indeed worth more than my jade, but this thing of yours is fake, how can it be worth it?"
Three thousand yuan is a big deal, so why not eat it quickly!"
Ye Chen smiled and asked: "Why do you say it is fake? Are you an appraisal expert?"
Kong Delong pointed to the people watching the excitement around him and said, "You must have heard what everyone said just now. Do you still want to be tough?"
With that said, Kong Delong said with disgust: "This authentic fan is in the hands of Chairman Gu of the Gu Group. With a hanging silk like you, can you still get his collection from Chairman Gu?"
?”
Ye Chen smiled and said: "You are right, this fan was really given to me by Chairman Gu. I just heard someone next to me saying that it was bought for 48.88 million, which is already more expensive than your jade pendant."
It’s more than twice as expensive, so I won’t talk nonsense to you and just swallow your pendant.”
