Chapter 155
"Don't sleep, don't sleep!"
"Yunfeng, wake up, get up and work!" I slept late last night, and I was woken up by Boss Sun's voice in the morning.
Seeing his happy face, I guessed that our truck was released from the dock.
When I asked, it turned out to be true. The minivan had just arrived downstairs at the B&B, and the boss asked me to get up and unload the truck.
Opening the back door of the van and removing the seafood that was used as a cover-up, two large wooden boxes were exposed from the innermost part. The nails we sealed on the wooden box are still intact.
The owner of the B&B is a lady in her fifties. Because she often receives tourists from the mainland, she can speak Mandarin fairly well. When the hotel lady saw us unloading the goods, she thought we had bought some furniture. She enthusiastically asked to help.
Just tell me I won't bother you, we can do it ourselves and we won't scratch your wooden floor. The eldest sister then left awkwardly.
Move the two large wooden boxes to the front room.
We closed the door, locked the windows, turned up the TV volume in the room to the maximum, and then we started to open the wooden box with a hammer.
After opening the box and seeing the contents inside, the rest of us breathed a sigh of relief.
The copper goods were neatly stacked, bubble wrap and newspapers were also there, and nothing was missing.
This batch of goods includes juebei, dowry, zun, tripod, beans, grains, dendrobium, small chariot and horse parts, etc. It can be said that there is a rich variety. The most important thing is the three bronzes with ancient Yue worship totems. I still don’t know the exact scientific name of these things. Not only me, but also the well-informed Baotou and Yao Wenzhong don’t know. They said This is the first time we have seen this type of vessel pattern. We did not find it in the auction albums or unearthed bronze records.
Although these three items do not have scientific names, it does not prevent them from being valuable. They may all be unique. Just like the golden mask of the Sanxingdui civilization of ancient Shu, it is something from the ancient Yue Kingdom.
In the afternoon, I notified three brokers from Moro Street to come to the hotel to look at the goods. These three people were all locals and spoke fluent Hong Kong. As they watched, they often exclaimed: "Monkeys are like thunder, monkeys are like thunder." (Good.) It means awesome.)
While looking at the goods, they took pictures with their cameras and sent them to their bosses.
These people mainly want to get commissions. They keep bragging to their bosses about how good our batch of goods is, and they all hope that their sponsors can win it, so that they can get high commissions afterwards.
They ask the boss if he has a psychological price and how much is the lowest price, so that they can quote the price to the boss. If the boss thinks the price is negotiable, he will come to see the goods in person and sign a contract.
Tou Tou deliberately said something harsh: "Let's go together, not just out alone, but up to five hundred. If anything less, we won't talk."
"Five hundred..." Several brokers took a breath, this is a lot of money. A piece of Qianlong official kiln porcelain costs just over RMB 100,000. The price of this batch of goods is equivalent to fifty pieces of official kiln porcelain combined.
Then one of the brokers went out to answer the call with a flip phone.
Not long after, he hurried in holding the phone.
"It's settled, my boss wants to let it go."
So fast... I was stunned. The price was several million, and it was decided by looking at a picture in an MMS message and making a phone call? Who is the buyer? So rich, is he the richest man in Hong Kong?
The boss was a little surprised. He quoted a price of RMB 500, expecting it to be lowered. Looking at the current situation, was he underquoting?
The broker said that the big boss will be here in two hours. As long as the items are the same as the photos, the price will definitely go up to 500!
Feeling happy, he asked the boss to prepare a banquet and wait for the boss to arrive.
The other party was very punctual, and the big boss’s car was a new black extended-length Alfa. After arriving, the driver opened the door and a white-haired man in his sixties got out of the Alpha.
