Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 309 Boss Niu

  Boss Niu’s father made his fortune in coal mining, so he didn’t have to worry about snacks and drinks.

So that after middle age, people usually like to be arty and elegant, collect and buy jade, and have so much money that they can’t spend it in a lifetime, and it’s uncomfortable to put it in the account every day without using it, and they don’t want to gamble like the people around them What looking for excitement, the character is still stable.

The collection circle is so big. I learned that he, a rich second generation, likes antiques. He has been approached by sellers of "antiques". When I got down, I paid the tuition fee, and finally got someone to appraise it. The room was full of handicrafts, only two of which were really played by the ancestors. In a fit of anger, I gave up the idea of ​​continuing to play. It has been three months since I made a move.

I happened to be traveling in the UK, and I went to the antique market in London with itchy hands, thinking that there are many scammers at home, and the outside should be cleaner. I really found a good guy when I sold it. The auction house said that it could fetch about 200,000 pounds. , There is not much money, the key is that after paying so much tuition, I finally made money.

Similar to Ye Dongqing, today he was lured by the owner of an antique shop and came to the Seymour family to look at things. This time, the unscrupulous descendant of the Seymour family was willing to spend money, and he released the news early on who brought the most customers to buy things, In addition to the commission, he also gave away a large apartment in Edinburgh, worth at least more than one million pounds, so these antique practitioners are soliciting people everywhere recently, hoping that the pie will fall on them.

  Boss Niu had already been found out by the middleman, and he knew that there was a lot of money, so he made a special trip to bring it here.

I met a few compatriots in a group of foreigners, at this time Ye Dongqing didn't act like she refused people thousands of miles away, she heard that the other party was testing her, and said calmly: "Chinese Americans, don't worry about having bodyguards to help you when you go out. "

Hearing the Chinese with a slight accent, Boss Niu showed a stunned expression, and said with a smile: "Overseas Chinese, welcome, do you know who this guy belongs to? I have been tricked into being a pig at home a lot, and now I am a little scared. I look at a thing with millions, tens of millions, and if I hit my eyes, I will feel distressed for at least a few weeks!

  Oh, by the way, I mean RMB, to convert it into US dollars, divide by eight? I saw a jar a few days ago and thought it was 100,000 RMB, but I found out it was in British pounds after swiping the card, but I still made a small profit, haha! "

  Familiar with herself, she didn't treat Ye Dongqing as an outsider at all, and she babbled a lot like a machine gun.

Ye Dongqing had never heard of the word "eye-opening", but he could probably guess it from the words before and after the contact. While looking at the hanging painting, he smiled in Chinese and said, "I don't understand either, so I asked a few experts to help me. If you buy fake ones, come to them, anyway, the Seymour family's manor can't escape, I heard that they still have thousands of antiques hidden."

   "Thousands? All such high-quality goods? My dear, the British are indeed rich!"

Boss Niu looked around, his eyes were almost popping out, and he said that the three-color horses that are often found in Tang Dynasty tombs, none of which can be bought for 20 million yuan, the price of fine Chinese antiques in 2004 It was already not low, and the highest auction price was refreshed again and again.

  Ye Dongqing didn't answer this sentence, because he didn't know too well, turned his head to look around, and found that Laura was sitting on the sofa drinking tea wearing Zhao Liuli, so he simply didn't ask them to come over to watch with him.

"I said, big brother, I also asked the owner of the antique shop to help me. He also brought a friend over and charged me 20,000 pounds for one day. The key is that I don't even know their details, otherwise Ask the person you hired to help me look at it when the time comes? They are all compatriots, help me, the fee that should be paid is definitely a lot, and I will take you to rub it at night!"

Really familiar, Boss Niu seems rough, but in fact he is also shrewd. He doesn't care about the little money for antiques, otherwise he would not be so stupid as to buy it by himself. At this moment, he is thinking of getting to know this young man who seems to be very rich. Chinese, when it's time to go to the United States to play, someone will greet you.

   Reciprocity is a matter of courtesy, anyway, there is no harm in getting acquainted, as long as you don't borrow money, don't guarantee, and don't seduce your sister-in-law, Ye Dongqing can be friends in the eyes of Boss Niu.

"I don't need to eat. I have some things to deal with in the afternoon, but I can ask the appraiser to help you see what I like. The chief appraiser of the British Museum and the experts from Sotheby's auction house should be fine." , but I can't guarantee this, just don't get involved with me when the time comes."

  Nodding acquaintances are not counted. Ye Dongqing draws the boundaries very clearly, and he is not God. God knows whether he is a good person or a bad person. Boss Niu is afraid that others will blackmail him, and Ye Dongqing is afraid that Boss Niu will blackmail him.

"The British Museum?"

Blinking his eyes, he took another high look at the young Chinese-American in a suit in front of him. Boss Niu has a wide vision. He just visited that museum yesterday. The chief appraiser, where should ordinary people go? He immediately looked at Ye Dongqing again. After taking a few high glances, he said with a smile: "Then thank you brother first! I'll look elsewhere first, and call you when I meet a suitable one..."

  The market is good when it is said to be good, but it is not good if it is not.

  Old Neil appraiser has a higher vision. Apart from the previous two pieces, there is an extra plate in his hand after turning around. The appearance is ordinary, with some cyan and cracks on it.

He told Ye Dongqing: "Damon is very sure that this is a Ru kiln, one of the five precious porcelains in China. We have a similar one in our museum. It can help with carbon fourteen identification. It is best to buy it first. It’s better to come down, it’s a more valuable type of porcelain.”

   I am afraid that the layman employer will not understand, but to distinguish good from bad from the appearance, the old man emphasizes the word "value".

Ye Dongqing has been to almost all the large museums in New York, and she has a little impression of porcelain with this name, so she waved her hand and said, "You guys think it's worth investing in, and it's very rare. That’s fine, I feel like the calligraphy and paintings in front of me are real, can anyone help me identify them?”

"This...I'm sorry, I only know a little Chinese, but I think they look very beautiful." Just after the old Neil appraiser finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Tomorrow a team from the Huaxia Palace Museum will Communicate with our British Museum, they have arrived ahead of time, and I met them last night, there should be experts in those people who identify these, I can make a call and ask for you."

   "The Forbidden City? That's great. I'm willing to pay them and arrange a vehicle to pick them up. All costs will be on my shoulders!"

   It was timely. Seeing Old Neil call, Ye Dongqing waved for Mr. Beckenbauer and told him about it.

The visitor is a customer, and Beckenbauer told him that there is absolutely no problem. It is the buyer's freedom to hire an appraiser. He made side-by-side inquiries about how the view was going. The main reason was that Ye Dongqing paid too little attention when he was just watching. , I'm afraid he's not interested...
