Chapter 33 Fish and Bear's Paws
The 33th Octopus and Bear Palm
The place where Wan Cheng asked Tang Feng to meet was Tang Feng next to the Northern Building. Tang Feng was not unfamiliar with him. He had met Fan Ziyun here last time. Twenty minutes later, Tang Feng walked into the coffee shop, Luo Wancheng waved to him, and Tang Feng walked over and sat against him.
The two were not familiar with each other, but neither of them forgot to make false politeness. After greeting him, Luo Wancheng asked Tang Feng: "What do you want to drink with Mr. Tang?"
Luo Wancheng could afford to delay time, but Tang Feng could not afford to delay today. He said directly: "Mr. Luo, you don't have to be polite, it's still important to do the important thing."
Luo Wancheng nodded and briefly talked about the situation after the TV treasure appraisal program. As Tang Feng expected, afterwards, Luo Wancheng took this Jingqi inkstone to appraise, but the result was not ideal. The answers of the appraisal experts were similar, hard to say, and they couldn't understand. When Luo Wancheng was in a conflict, a stranger called him and said that he wanted to buy this Jingqi inkstone.
Luo Wancheng said: "I met them and they offered ten thousand, but I didn't agree."
20 million? Tang Feng was so lucky. The lion opened his mouth wide and walked around for a long time. It turned out that he was waiting for him here? He said calmly: "20 million, a good price, why didn't Mr. Luo agree to sell it to him?" Tang Feng could not act too urgent now, otherwise this sucker would be determined. Su Dongpo's manuscript is very important, but righteous inkstone is even more important. If it was 20 million, then these two national treasure-level cultural relics would become fish and bear's paws, and they cannot be obtained at the same time. Moreover, Tang Feng did not believe Luo Wancheng at all. If someone really offered to pay tens of thousands, it would probably have been sent out with both hands.
Luo Wancheng said: "Because they are not Chinese, I am very hesitant."
When it comes to foreigners who acquired Chinese cultural relics, Tang Feng's first thought was to compete with him for the standard equipment of Yuan blue and white porcelain. The time was also consistent. He couldn't understand why foreigners were so interested in Chinese cultural relics. Chinese people don't like foreign cultural relics. You took the "Water Lily Picture" that was sold by French Impressionist master Monet to China for $80.45 million, and no one wanted it. He asked Luo Wancheng: "Is it a Japanese?"
"Yes, although he did not reveal his identity, I have been to Japan and can tell." Luo Wancheng nodded and admitted, saying, "Mr. Tang, I might as well say that I have completed the immigration procedures and will move my family to Singapore. I did not agree to him, not to sell it to him."
Tang Feng smiled sarcastically and said, "Mr. Luo is really honest and has a good reason."
"Mr. Tang doesn't care about my words." Luo Wancheng took out his passport and visa from his bag and placed it on the table. He continued: "Of course he did not forget that he is still a Chinese now. Of course he would sell it to his compatriots at the same price. Mr. Tang should understand what I mean."
Tang Feng asked indifferently: "Look. I should thank you for taking care of me, a compatriot?"
Luo Wancheng said: "Mr. Tang doesn't have to put me in a big hat. In fact, leaving this country has always been my life goal. All my efforts are to achieve this goal and life abroad is hard. I have to make plans for the future."
Although Luo Wancheng had no cure to relieve Tang Feng, he said: "Life is hard abroad. But do you still have to go to the hometown where you are born and raised? " Tang Feng said this not to save him. He just hopes that this guy can lower the price.
Luo Wancheng said: "Why should Mr. Tang say such words? Everyone is in different places, environments, and personal ideas are different. Aren't those celebrities running abroad? Hasn't they hated? There is no emotion."
The motherland is like a mother. No child will despise her mother as ugly or ragged. Unless she is born in the stepmother. Those so-called international superstars are all raised by their stepmothers!
Tang Feng shook his head with a wry smile. Now, it was really ironic to think back to what Luo Wancheng said on TV. "I didn't think so much at that time, I just wanted to bring it back to China." He did not say the second half of the sentence and brought it back to China to buy a good price.
Tang Feng had no choice. Who made him like this Fang Zhengqi Inkstone? No matter what the country is? No matter what the housekeeper? The heroes of the country and nation are always worth our respect. When you really like something, it is worth it to pay for her. For example, the woman you like. You cannot have both fish and bear's paws. You should get which one comes first. Tang Feng quickly made a decision and asked Luo Wancheng: "So, as long as I can afford tens of thousands, you will buy me that Fang Zhengqi Inkstone, right?"
Luo Wancheng nodded and said, "Yes."
"When will the transaction be made?" Tang Feng said. He hoped to get a buffer period. In that case, he could think of other ways.
Luo Wancheng said: "It's better now. I have limited time and I hope I can deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Tang Feng really wants to beat this guy up. Is this guy patriotic? Is this guy going abroad to care about his own bird affairs, but this turtle is too good at picking time, what do you know
Have you taken the money?
Luo Wancheng wanted to deal with it early, but Tang Feng was afraid that there would be too many dreams at night. He immediately said, "Okay, 20 million, I want it now."
Luo Wancheng said: "No matter how Mr. Tang thinks of me, I only have to thank Mr. Tang and nothing else." This guy deserves to thank him.
Tang Feng said: "There is no need to say these words, hurry up and trade them."
Then, Luo Wancheng and Tang Feng went to the bank, and his wife sent Zhengqi inkstone. After realizing his true nature, Tang Feng transferred 20 million into his account in front of Luo Wancheng.
The payment for the goods was cleared, and Tang Feng left without looking back. This girl was really not a thing, and Luo Wancheng was not very excited. He only had sad excitement after getting what he wanted. He gently hugged his wife in his arms and said, "We can finally get rid of all this." Everyone has their own story. If this can really make them happy, then let them go.
After this unexpected tossing, Tang was beaten back to his original form, standing high and seeing far, and this was not completely accurate. Tang Feng is now standing high on the debt table, owing a lot, 1 C million in cash and 20,000 in debt, he is a real ten million-dollar debt.
"Mu Yu, I'll be back." Tang Feng returned home with Zhengqi Inkstone. The dining table was already full of vegetables. He put down Zhengqi Inkstone and walked into the kitchen. Lin Muyu was still busy inside. Seeing Tang Feng in, Lin Muyu said, "You are back just in time, prepare for dinner."
Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu, "Oh, what good thing happened to Muyu today? I cook so many dishes?"
Lin Mu looked at Tang Feng and said, "It's nothing, it's up to you to work hard, cook two more dishes for you to eat, and I wish you success tonight."
Alas, when it comes to the auction, Tang Feng was puzzled in his heart that he hasn't been asking anyone to provoke anyone recently, so why is he so unlucky? It feels like a car accident on the highway. The previous thing has not happened yet, and then he ran into it. There are still several cars on the same side. This is called a serial car accident, which must be blocked in traffic.
Lin Muyu and Tang Feng sat down to dinner together. Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu and said, "Auction tonight, will you go to Muyu?"
Lin Muyu asked Tang Feng back, "What do you think?"
"Of course I hope you can go there and let those people see how beautiful and virtuous our Mu Yu is, leaving the hall and going to the kitchen." Tang Feng said proudly: "Of course, we can just know a lot of things ourselves, such as going to bed."
Lin Muyu suddenly asked for no reason: "Tang Feng, how far do you think we can go if we continue like this?"
"Is this a question necessary? Of course it's forever, hey, what's wrong with you today?" Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu and said, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this question?"
Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Don't be so sensitive, I'm just asking casually."
After dinner, the two of them came to Zhuji Auction House together. As soon as they approached the gate, Chen Yan greeted him from the inside. Liu Yue was still following him. Liu Yue returned to her usual elegant dress today. There was always no lack of common language between women. After greeting Tang Feng, she gently pulled Lin Muyu's hand, and the two women started to have family affairs. While Liu Yue and Lin Muyu were biting their ears, Chen Yan pulled Tang Feng aside to ask about the situation. Tang Feng repeated the situation to him. Finally, he said: "This matter has basically come to an end."
“I think there is still some hope.
"Chen Yan said: "I came here so early to find out the news."
Then, Chen Yan began to analyze the specific situation. The auction was unprecedented. The appearance of Su Dongpo's manuscript caused a sensation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. The big names participating in the auction could not count it with their fingers. In addition to Ren Wangzu, the famous Hong Kong antique merchant Dong Minquan also attended the event personally. Chen Yan said to Tang Feng: "Don't forget that your antique "Autumn Landscape Picture" by Zhang Daqian is the No. 2 lot of this auction house, and it is believed that it can be sold at a sky-high price."
Tang Feng understood what Chen Yan meant. He felt that Tang Feng underestimated the value of "Autumn Landscape Picture". He shook his head and said, "The problem is that it is not Zhang Daqian's own creation, but an antique painting. It is definitely not as valuable as Su Dongpo's manuscript."
Chen Yan said: "Don't you still have a picture of Zhu Yunming's "Guide on the Country"?"
Tang Feng did not have much hope for "Guiding the Country". The total transaction price of the two paintings must be lower than that of Su Dongpo's manuscript. Even if the big names robbed them and set a new world record, what can they do? Why can't they robbed Su Dongpo if they can rob Zhang Daqian?
He said to Chen Yan: "Don't comfort me. I have a good mentality now. Some things are destined to be in the best of both worlds. Let's go in first."
