"One hundred thousand swords..."
When he heard the price given by Gavin, Chu Heng's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
This ghost old man is full of ghost water. He can offer a high price of 100,000 dollars on the first price, which means that the value of this statue is much higher than this price.
It might be 150,000, it might be 200,000, or even higher.
It turns out that the bulk of this treasure is not in the gold...
Chu Heng's mind turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and he said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Gavin, I don't want to get rid of these things yet."
He is not in a hurry for money at the moment, so in order to prevent a loss on the sale, Chu Heng plans to take the items he got in Java to Citigroup and sell them together with the bronzes.
"Do you think the price is low? If so, we can still discuss it." Gavin said quickly.
"You misunderstood, Mr. Gavin, I really don't want to take action yet." Chu Heng looked at him with a smile, his expression extremely sincere.
"Well, if you want to sell it one day, you can contact me at any time, and I promise to give you the highest price." Gavin turned back in disappointment, played with the statue for a while, then put it back reluctantly, and then Picked up the gold bracelet.
"This bracelet is also a product of the Majapahit Kingdom, but it is not a high-quality product. In addition, it is still somewhat damaged. The value should be around three thousand knives."
After just a few glances, he put the bracelet down, obviously not very interested, and then turned his attention to the small clay pot in the box.
After looking at it for a while, Gavin frowned slightly, then put down the pottery pot and picked up the axe-shaped bronze vessel.
He watched in silence for more than ten minutes, and his frown became tighter as he watched. After a few more minutes, he suddenly put down his things and stood up. After saying "Wait a moment" to Chu Heng, he hurried upstairs. After a while, He came down again, holding a thick tome and a magnifying glass in his hands.
Gavin walked to the sofa while flipping through the book. After sitting down, he didn't say a word and just turned over the book.
After a while, he put down the book and took a magnifying glass to look at the bronze ax and pottery pot carefully.
Chu Heng didn't bother him, and just smoked cigarettes and drank coffee, thinking about how to deal with the things in his hands to maximize his profits.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Gavin finally put down his things and raised his head, and said to Chu Heng excitedly: "These two things should come from the Dongshan culture of BC. It is really rare that they can be preserved so well. I almost thought it was fake!”
"What is Dongshan culture?" Chu Heng came to his senses after hearing this and humbly asked for advice.
"It is a culture from the late Bronze Age to the early Iron Age in Southeast Asia. It was named after it was first discovered in Dongshan Village, Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam." Gavin picked up the pottery pot again, rubbed it gently with his fingers, and discussed with Chu Heng again. : "Sell it to me, Chu. The price is negotiable."
"Please don't embarrass me, Mr. Gavin, I really don't want to sell." Chu Heng, who had already made up his mind, smiled and shook his head, and then saw him take out the gold bracelet and two ancient coins from the box. , placed it generously in front of Gavin: "To express my apology, I would like to give these three things to you, and I hope you will accept them."
We are all collectors and standard cultural people. Talking about money and appraisal fees is so vulgar...
"Oh! This really surprises me!" Jia Wen, who was rejected one after another, was a little unhappy at first. Seeing that Chu Heng was so generous, his mood instantly improved, and he became more pleasing to the eye, so he happily gave it to him. He gave him a big hug and started chatting warmly.
The two of them seemed to be close friends. They chatted about Majapahit, Dongshan culture, Indonesia, and China. At noon, Gavin even forced Chu Heng to have a meal when he was about to leave. A very hearty lunch.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Gavin. I gained a lot of new knowledge from you today."
In front of the mansion, after lunch, Chu Heng, who was about to leave, shook hands with Gavin who came out to see him off with a grateful face.
"The same goes for me. Through communicating with you, I have learned more about China." Gavin smiled and let go of his hand, and invited him with some unfinished words: "I can still stay in Hong Kong Island for half a month. During this period, You can come at any time, I still have a lot of things I want to talk to you about."
"Okay, if I have time, I will definitely come over."
Chu Heng nodded at him, said goodbye to him, turned around and got into the Mercedes-Benz with Cen Hao and left.
The car sped along, and soon the group of them returned to the Mandarin Hotel.
"Mr. Chu."
As soon as Chu Heng entered the lobby, the new front desk lady quickly called him out.
"What's wrong?" He walked over doubtfully.
The young lady looked at his face, smiled shyly, and said, "That's right, Miss Avima just called and wants to invite you to dinner."
"This foreign woman is quite well-informed." Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, then took out two dollars and put them in front of the shy lady, and ordered: "Please call her back and tell her tonight Meet at six o’clock.”
"Okay, Mr. Chu." The shy young lady put away the money with a smile, feeling that he had become more handsome.
"Trouble."
Chu Heng smiled at her, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
Cen Hao glanced at the two dollars collected by the young lady, turned around and quickly caught up with him, scolding him bluntly and bluntly: "Master Chu, aren't you a waste of money? You always tip people, sometimes in a day It’s almost half a month’s salary for me. You’d better give me less in the future. Wouldn’t it be great if you save the money and buy some food and drinks?”
"Tsk, Mr. Chu, I am going to become a multi-millionaire soon. Can you stop talking to me about this eight cent thing?" Through previous exchanges with Gavin, I have roughly estimated the value of the things in my hand. Chu Heng looked sideways at him, his nouveau riche temperament ready to come out.
"Ten million..." Cen Hao, who already had a clear understanding of wealth, was stunned after hearing this, and turned to look at him in wonder: "Why do I feel that making money is like drinking cold water?"
"How can it be easy in this world? You have only seen me making money now, but have you seen my dedication and hard work? Do you know how much preparation I have made and how much risk I have taken?" Chu Heng said incessantly. road.
"Oh." Cen Hao nodded nonchalantly, unable to empathize with him.
"Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you this, just remember it and just stop fooling around in front of me in the future. A special girl knows how to give me lessons with her hard-working elm head. Yes!" Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him and stepped into the elevator.
