The reason why Yu Fei was so surprised was that what he saw turned out to be an emerald cabbage.
Why is there another jade cabbage in your place? Yu Fei is surprised.
Jade cabbage is the favorite of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Because of her relationship, the value of jade cabbage has already surpassed itself, even above most national treasures. It is the treasure of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Many people from the mainland visit the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
As soon as you enter the museum, you will ask where the jade cabbage is.
Its popularity is evident.
There are two emerald cabbages. I heard that Sun Dianying gave the other one to Song Ziwen after stealing it to avoid responsibility. Song Ziwen took it to the United States and then disappeared. So Yu Fei always thought it should be in the United States. At this time, he was in Pakistan.
How could he not be surprised when he saw another jade cabbage in Faya's collection room?
Bafaya smiled and said nothing.
Yu Fei also realized that he had asked a very stupid question.
Most of the missing national treasures were not damaged, and were not even buried in hidden places such as underground palaces like the original Yongle Dadian. Instead, they were quietly collected by a collector and played with by themselves.
Before coming to Paris, Yu Fei had imagined the amazing collection of Bafaya. However, Yu Fei, who thought he had a very high vision, did not think that this would surprise him. But the moment he saw the jade cabbage, Yu Fei was surprised.
And the idea of bringing jade cabbage back to China came up.
Dear Mr. Bafaya, Yu Fei hesitated for a moment and then said it bravely. Bafaya placed the jade cabbage in such a conspicuous position. It is obvious that he values it very much. So will he agree to his request to buy it?
Embafaya seemed to have seen through Yu Fei's thoughts, with a playful smile on his face.
You should remember that in London I transferred the Holy Grail of your ancestors to you. Today I personally delivered the Scepter of Fatima to you. Now I want to transfer back the twenty-five million pounds you gave me in London.
Here you go, I don’t have to accept the two Hongwu underglaze red bottles used in exchange for Fatima’s scepter. I just ask you to allow me to bring the jade cabbage back to the place where it was born.
Yu Fei did not beat around the bush, but said directly.
It wasn't like he didn't think about deliberately lowering the price of jade cabbage so that he could pay less for it.
But he quickly gave up this absurd idea
Who is Bafaya? He doesn't know the true value of emerald cabbage.
If Yu Fei does this, it will only be counterproductive and make Bafaya feel disgusted, and she will also think that Yu Fei is not a person to be friends with.
So Yu Fei was very direct when he came up. Just like when Bafaya purchased the Holy Grail, he offered a price of 25 million pounds. If converted into RMB, it would be more than 250 million pounds.
This is definitely a very high price. It also shows his sincerity.
Moreover, Yu Fei mentioned the story of the Holy Grail of London and the Scepter of Fatima, the purpose of which was of course to make Bafaya remember his love.
He believed that Bafaya was not a person who did not miss old feelings. Although the Fatima Scepter was given to Yu Fei without knowing its value, Bafaya did not know it. He should have thought that he really used two
I guess it was exchanged for Hongwu Underglaze Red.
Yu. There is a saying in China: One code returns one code. To Yu Fei's expectation, Bafaya said as if he was refusing as soon as he opened his mouth. And he also used a Chinese slang. This old guy is really a
He is a China expert, and can even be called an expert in certain areas of knowledge, even better than a native Chinese like himself. Fortunately, he has never thought of cheating.
I think you should know the value of the jade cabbage, but unfortunately, it is not from your ancestors, so we cannot look at it equally. Bafaya said: If I am not a descendant of the Fatimid royal family, then the Holy Grail of Fatima and the power of
To me, a staff is no different from an ordinary cultural relic. As you know, I also value jade cabbage very much.
Hey, this old guy has turned his back on me. Yu Fei thought a little depressed.
But now he really does not have any handle on Bafaya. Whether it is the Holy Grail or the Scepter of Fatima, whether it was sold or given as a gift, they have already been in Bafaya's hands. Is Bafaya willing to give it to him?
The transfer of the jade cabbage to me depends entirely on his wishes, and I have no choice but to do so.
This was different from the previous negotiation with the British Museum. At that time, they owned a bronze statue of a walking man, which they were eager to obtain. Therefore, Yu Feicai was asking for a huge amount of money, but the British Museum did not dare to pay back the money.
Mr. Bafaya, there are only two of us. If you have any conditions, please put them forward. Yu Fei said. He knew very well that Bafaya definitely did not want to transfer, but wanted to put forward more conditions and make himself pay more.
Otherwise, he could completely prevent himself from seeing this emerald cabbage. This is really a simple thing for Bafaya.
Yu, you are really a cheerful person. I like cheerful people. Mr. Bafaya said.
So, let me tell you the truth. Mr. Bafaya paused and continued: Although this piece of jade cabbage is very important to me, it is not impossible to transfer it to you. Even the two pieces of Hongwu red-glazed porcelain.
I can give it to you as usual, I just want a word from you.
What do you say? Say it. Yu Fei said repeatedly. He didn't expect Bafaya to just say one word. It's too simple.
But Bafaya's question made Yu Fei not know how to answer for a moment.
I just want to know where you got the Fatima Staff. Bafaya stared at Yu Fei with bright eyes, as if she could see directly into his innermost thoughts.
Ah, Yu Fei didn't expect that Bafaya would ask this question.
Didn't I just say that I came from a black market? Yu Fei also wanted to fool Bafaya with the lie he just told. But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bafaya.
Yu, you have to think carefully. Bafaya said leisurely. Although it was just a short sentence, it contained a strong threat. If Yu Fei's answer does not satisfy him, then this Jade Cabbage will also
Say goodbye to Yu Fei completely.
Only now did Yu Fei realize that Bafaya didn't believe the lie he thought he had made so perfectly. He just didn't expose it to his face.
Mr. Bafaya, you know that I value your friendship very much. Yu Fei doesn’t know what to say. If you insist on what you just said, you will naturally not be able to satisfy Bafaya, but if you say that you found Fatima at the flea market,
Staff, I won’t say whether Bafaya believes it or not. If he knew that the gift he gave him was bought at a low price at a flea market, he would probably feel very uncomfortable.
Uh-huh. Bafaya nodded, indicating that he understood.
I put a lot of thought into preparing a gift for you. Yu Fei swallowed and emphasized again.
So Bafaya is unmoved at all. You should tell Fatima where you found the scepter. Otherwise,
Bafaya said and pulled the jade cabbage back to his side, widening the distance between him and Yu Fei.
Yu Fei finally tasted the feeling of being appetized by others. This can be regarded as retribution.
Okay, I'll tell you everything. In the end, Yu Fei gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and said regardless: I bought the Fatima Scepter by chance in an antique shop at the Paris flea market.
Why is this impossible? Bafaya almost subconsciously denied it.
Bafaya lives in Paris, so the Scepter of Fatima is only a stone's throw away from him, but for so many years, he has not noticed it, which is really hard for him to accept.
Why is it impossible? Yu Fei said: Mr. Bafaya, you have a lofty vision and only focus on the high-end antique shops on Saint-Honoré Street. How can you patronize small shops in the flea market?
Bafaya loves collecting and has collected countless items in his life. Even if Yu Fei has the true energy, it is difficult to compare with him. But for living in Paris and staying with the Scepter of Fatima for many years without knowing it, this is very important to Bafaya.
It’s really a big thrill for Asia.
Maybe this is fate. Bafaya sighed and said: By the way, I also want to know how much you spent on the Scepter of Fatima.
This time it became even more difficult for Yu Fei.
He spent two hundred euros at that time, of which twenty euros were still consumption. If the price of the packaging box was also included, then the Fatima Scepter was less than one hundred and eighty euros. Yu Fei didn't know when he said this price.
When the time comes, will Bafaya be able to bear it?
But the matter has come to this, there is no longer any need to avoid it, and there is no point in concealing it.
Yu Fei cleared his throat and prepared to tell the real price. To be continued...
