Xie Jingwen came to the tea table and took the initiative to refill the tea for the middle-aged man.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, just 50 years old this year, is a well-known local collector in Dajing, Japan. He mainly collects stone carvings, ivory carvings, and ornaments. He has hundreds of sculptures in his collection. I remember Dajing a few years ago. The TV station also specially recorded a related documentary for you, I watched that documentary before I came to Rishima, and I can still vividly remember the content recorded in the film!"

"Stone carvings, ornaments, miscellaneous items, etc., Mr. COSCO must be the best among them. At least in the first five years, he will not be able to find an opponent!"

The first five years?

Shen Qiu heard Xie Jingwen emphatically mentioned the previous five years, which meant that the collector's strength should have declined in recent years. Speaking of understanding, he had also done some homework on the Japanese antique world before. There is little mention of this great collector in relevant materials.

"There's nothing I can't say!" COSCO continued: "In the past few years, I have stumbled. Although I have made a success in the antique industry, I am a complete loser in other investments. The real estate project I invested in lost more than 3000 million dollars! The financial project I invested in lost money! I invested in the catering industry and encountered food safety problems. , I can only use the antiques collected at home to fill the hole in the investment!"

At this point in the conversation, Shen Qiu finally understood what was going on. He dared to say that this was an outdated boss in the Japanese antique world. He couldn't get along anymore, so he came to the store to sell the original antiques. There was almost no need to guess. His big bag Among them, they are basically antiques such as stone carvings, sculptures, and ornaments, and nine out of ten are related to China.

"Shen Qiu! I don't tell you anything. My bank loan is about to expire recently. I have to sell some things to fill this hole. So I brought the last batch of things at home, hoping to be able to Help me get through this difficult time!"

"Ok, Ok!"

Shen Qiu readily agreed, and with the background of a collector, Shen Qiu even wanted to see the treasures in the old butler's bag. Naturally, a collector of this level would not lack good things, and maybe he would be able to receive unexpected surprises Woolen cloth.

"Shen Qiu, I have a weird habit of selling things. I have a few unwritten rules. I hope you can abide by them. We respect each other! If you think it's okay, we will start a cooperative relationship. If you don't think it's not, then I'll change it. Other antique shops!" COSCO said with a firm tone, holding his head high.

Master Pao interjected and said, "If you have any request, please tell me first! Don't mention those messy requests, we can't accept one thing from you, just promise you to kill and set fire!"

Master Pao's words were rough and unreasonable, Shen Qiu nodded and continued: "Mr. Zhongyuan, if you have any requirements, please tell us first, and we will do our best to satisfy you!"

"Okay! There are three requirements as follows. First, I, COSCO Kato, do not like to bargain. I have a standard in my heart. If the price you offer is within this range, I will give it to you! No procrastination, no mother-in-law! "

"Second, all my things were bought by me at the beginning, and they were all collected from formal channels. I don't want anyone to go to the bottom of the matter and find out the source of these things. I think that is disrespectful. People's performance, that is, they don't trust me personally!"

"Third, I need cash for the transaction. I don't accept any form of transfer, including your popular mobile payment in China. I am a traditional businessman and I don't approve of this emerging payment method!"

Shen Qiu was silent for a few seconds and nodded in response: "Yes! I can agree to these requests from Mr. Zhongyuan! But our store also has some requirements for ordinary customers. If Mr. Zhongyuan can do it, then we will directly Get on topic!"

"Shen Qiu, tell me!" COSCO raised his head and looked at the handsome young man in front of him. He ignored him from the moment he entered the door. Although he had a wonderful performance in "Global Appraisal", COSCO I still feel that his morality is not worthy, and the antique and antique business still needs to be settled after all.

But in the few conversations he had with Shen Qiu, he could feel his imperceptible aura. This aura was powerful, neither humble nor overbearing, and had nothing to do with his age. It was the unique demeanor of Master Jianbao.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, my request is also very simple. I won't accept any of the three, I won't accept artifacts, I won't accept fakes, and I won't accept dirty items. As long as Mr. Zhongyuan's items meet these three points, I, Chen Qiu, will not refuse anyone!"

"Hehehe... Why did I ask for this special request! It turns out that it is these three points! No problem, no problem! All my things meet the requirements! But I have repeatedly told you, Master Shen Qiu, that the reference price you gave must be It must be within my acceptance range, if not! Sorry! I will never give you a second chance to bid! We will never have the possibility of cooperation!"

Unknowingly, COSCO began to call Shen Qiu Master, and there was a sense of respect in his words. His words can be said to be of great significance, and the meaning is very clear. The price you give Shen Qiu must reach the comprehensive value of these treasures between.

In other words, the other party is testing Shen Qiu's ability to estimate the value. If there is a deviation in the estimate, then I'm sorry, the cooperation ends here, and there is no second chance!

"Mr. Zhongyuan can rest assured!" Xie Jingwen gave Shen Qiu an affirmative answer: "As long as things are in the right direction, the price we give will only be higher than the market price. Zhonghua Antique Store does not exist to suppress prices. Mr. Zhongyuan, please! "

With Shen Qiu's tacit approval, COSCO greeted the butler behind him and ordered him to take out the treasures in the satchel one by one.

The old butler seemed cautious, and his movements were a little nervous, for fear of bumping and damaging the treasures in it.

He first took out a rectangular piece of ancient jade ink from it. This kind of jade ink does not mean that its material is all jade, but it is inlaid in the form of jade-covered ink. The ink surface is the theme of plum blossoms in full bloom. , the ink surface has been ground so that there is no water chestnut, and there is not much ink wrapped inside. Fortunately, the Hetian jade wrapped around it is still complete. The crystal clear dark green and old black are also eye-catching. Bright.

This ink Chenqiu only needs to take a look at it to be able to accurately judge that it is the work of Song Muzhong, a master ink maker during the Kangxi period, because among the types of ancient ink, only Song Muzhong carried forward the form of jade-wrapped ink, and obtained the ink-making skill. industry recognition.

The reason is the same. In ancient times, the glue had poor adhesion, and it was difficult to perfectly combine the jade surface and the grinding surface. However, any ink is bound to experience thousands of frictions. The combination requirements are extremely high, Song Muzhong had a whim, and used the method of expanding the wood to combine the two into one. Not only is it not easy to fall off, but the increase in the friction range will make the fit of the two closer and more secure. solidification.

At that time, this technology was indeed a craft with a high degree of difficulty, but from the perspective of technology now, it is a pediatrics. The so-called expansion wood is like the current expansion screw, but Song Muzhong chose The best is oak with excellent expansibility.

In modern industry, oak is mostly used in the production of bottle corks and wine bottle stoppers. This was applied by Song Muzhong to the technology of making jade ink. From the perspective of ideas, it is indeed an idea of ​​cowhide, similar to this structure. Even if you want to disassemble the jade ink, it takes a lot of strength, and it is almost difficult to do it without damaging the surface of the jade.

This set of jade ink Shen Qiu immediately set an estimate in his heart, the market price was about [-] to [-] US dollars, Shen Qiu directly estimated the price of it at [-] US dollars!

Looking at the other party's second collection, it really surprised Shen Qiu.
