Jacob Wilson brought the copper base over, it looked very old, so he turned it over and looked at the bottom, which was engraved with the words “Daming Xuande Nianzhi”.
Dax teacher explained: “You do not look at us this bronze statue, may also be a hundred years, but you hand this base, he is a serious copper base of the Ming Dynasty, but the base was originally with what we do not know, in our hands when there is only such a base, you should also know, although the Ming copper is quite valuable, but there is no honours, only a You should also know that although Daming bronzes are worth quite a lot, but without the original, only a base, it can be worth to where? So we spent 38,000 yuan to buy this base back, with this base and then with this old bronze statue, this is not a set? And you don’t forget, this base, it is really Ming Dynasty Xuande year things, this Buddha statue we also according to the Xuande year of bronze do old, it two so with, I dare say more than 95% of connoisseurs will hit the eye.”
Jacob Wilson hurriedly asked him, “Then if such a set is authentic, how much could it be worth?”
Teacher Dax thought for a moment, “A bronze vessel from the Xuan De year of the Great Ming Dynasty, with a mark, and with such a fine shape and production, it is definitely ready to go to auction, and a conservative estimate would have to be between one and two million.”
Jacob Wilson asked again, “If I want this set, how much can I get?”
Teacher Dax hastened to say, “I won’t hide it from you Mr Murong, when we do something like this, we usually charge according to 30% of the market price, I just told you that the conservative estimate of this thing should be between a hundred to two million, let’s take a middle figure of about a million and a half, and 30% of a million and a half, that’s four hundred and fifty thousand.”
Jacob Wilson said at once: “No no no, your price is also too expensive, more than 400,000 I smashed hands how to do?”
In fact, Jacob Wilson inner thought is: “Damn, I buy this thing will be more than 400,000, ask Zhou Japheth how much money is appropriate ah? Want 800,000? He must also have ah.”
When Mr Dax heard this, he hurriedly said, “Aiya Mr Murong, you are also too honest, do our business, the offer is not all to high?”
Said, he hurriedly added: “I also do not play with you false, this thing I just told you, the cost of its base is 38,000, the bronze statue itself, we spent 60,000, plus the handmade fee and so on, the normal transaction price will not be less than two hundred thousand, since you are Ermao’s brother’s friend, I will give you a bite price, 150,000!”
Ermao immediately said: “Dax teacher, we have known each other for so long, this is the first time to do business, I don’t say anything else, this first single as a face, don’t earn Mr Murong’s money, you’re not the base 38,000? The bronze statue is 60,000, right? We give you 98,000, just as a friend.”
“Make a friend 。。。。。。” Dax teacher lamented, “Of course I want to teach Mr Murong this friend, but we do this old also need to ride the kung fu, I still have to give the master money craft ah.”
Jacob Wilson waved his hand and said boldly, “Since you have said so, let’s make up a whole, 100,000 yuan, enough fun.”
“One hundred thousand 。。。。。。” Teacher Dax was depressed in his heart.
Dry their line of craftsmen although not see the light, but the craft is really worth ah, do so a job, at least to give the master 20,000 yuan work fee, or else why do people nest here to puff and puff dry a few days, but also not see the light.
Although he was full of grievances, but thought carefully, in this case, they should not bargain with him again, after all, they do not know what Mr Murong, but Ermao is now really good, give him face is also regarded as a convenient for their own future.
So, he looked to Ermao, seriously said: “Ermao brother, since it is your friend, then I certainly no two words, we do not 100,000, I do the end of the favour, let’s ninety-eight thousand! Ninety-eight thousand, to be sent! It sounds good and lucky!”
Jacob Wilson heard this, said: “Hey, well, and save two thousand! And this thing feels more appropriate, the market price of one or two million things, sold to Zhou Japheth forty fifty or even five or six hundred thousand, that is not the standard price of picking up the pieces? As long as he bought away, then his start-up capital is all smashed in, and then let Ermao find someone to expose this thing, he is out of the blood is difficult, it is estimated that can be sold 50,000 or 60,000 even if it is the top of the day! This is simply the perfect prop for the game!”
So, he immediately agreed and said offhandedly, “Good! It’s a deal!”
