Chapter 373 The Secret of the Nine Dragons Cauldron
Chapter 373 The Secret of the Nine Dragon Cauldron
Chen San stared at Zhou Xuan for a while, and he couldn't tell anything from Zhou Xuan's eyes. The young man's eyes were like a pool of green and deep pools, both unfathomable and unfathomable.
However, Chen Sanyan couldn't tell what the similarities between Zhou Xuan and his brother-in-law Fang Dacheng were. He was not of the same type at all. He really couldn't figure out why he was so stumbling with his incompetent brother-in-law?
Zhou Xuan saw Chen San's hesitant look and said lightly: "If the boss doesn't want this thing, then forget it, I'll go to another house to ask!"
Chen San's eyes were stunned and woke up, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't mean that, I'm just curious about you, sir... Please wait a moment, and I'll ask the clerk to invite a friend to come and check it!"
After saying that, he called an employee in the store and said, "A Guang, go and invite Mr. Zhou here."
Zhou Xuan also knew this employee A Guang and Zhou Xuan. When he was in Jingshizhai, there were only two apprentices, one was A Chang and the other was A Guang. However, both of them were people who followed Fang Dacheng and did not leave any good impressions of Zhou Xuan.
As soon as Ah Guang left, Chen Sanyan quickly invited Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu to the coffee table to sit down. If Zhou Xuan said it was true, then he would have at least one million profits, which would be considered a big business for his current business.
But I don’t believe it very much. Chen Sanyan is also an old man in the antique industry. She has been rolling around for decades. Whether it is eyesight, technology, or experience, it is not comparable to ordinary people. Zhou Xuan said it so bluntly, he couldn’t believe it.
In today's society, people only talk about interests, and brothers must settle accounts clearly, let alone people who have never met each other. What Zhou Xuan said made him think that it would be a trap. The higher the value of the item, the deeper the trap.
But Chen Sanyan also admired Zhou Xuan very much. He didn't talk big, but just a few words touched him. If Zhou Xuan really put him in a trap, he really had to accept it. Zhou Xuan practiced fraud to the peak, and it was simple but easiest to come true!
It took about six or seven minutes for the person Chen Guang to come over. After entering Jingshizhai’s store, Zhou Xuan recognized him at a glance, and he also knew this person.
The person Chen Sanyan invited was really not an amateur. When Zhou Xuan first met Wei Haihong, he was in Wei Haihong's villa after the auction of two Henan tomb robbers. After he took out the gold coin, he was the gold coin that this person saw.
This man's surname is Yang, in his fifties, specializes in the sale of cultural relics in the international market, and has profound attainments in antiques and cultural relics from China and abroad. When he was a teenager, he made antiques in China. After he was in his twenties, he settled in London with his relatives and engaged in antique auctions.
After Mr. Yang arrived, Chen Sanyan quickly stood up to greet him. Mr. Yang returned to China the year before, running back and forth in the south and Hong Kong, specializing in antique trading.
As soon as Mr. Yang sat down, he asked, "I heard that if you have something here, you want me to see you, so don't hide it anymore. Just eat and drink when you have nothing to do. If you have good things, I don't have the mood to eat and drink and have fun again, haha!"
Chen Sanyan smiled and handed him the gold coin. Mr. Yang took it and took it in his hand and looked over it carefully. After looking at it for a while, his eyes suddenly became excited. After taking a closer look, he was sure.
"Old Chen, where did you find this gold coin? I have been here for so long, and to be honest, I haven't seen a piece of real value. I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Chen Sanyan and Uncle Liu both trembled. Could it be that what Zhou Xuan said is true? There are really such honest people these days? Besides, since he knows that the real price is worth four million, why does he only cost three million yuan?
These are all things that have to be suspicious. Besides, who are not intrigues nowadays?
Chen San's eyes hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mr. Yang, this gold coin is real gold. It's impossible to say that the old color is also real old. I can recognize this. It's just that this foreign thing has different cultures in Chinese and Western countries. I can't do anything about this thing..."
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Yang waved his hand and said, "I know what you mean. Let me tell you this. This thing must be true. This is the king of one of the seven kingdoms in the medieval period in England. It was minted by Cohen Wolf. The circulation volume was very small at that time. The front of the gold coin was Cohen Wolf's avatar and the back was the English name of Cohen Wolf. As far as I know, there is only one of these gold coins in the world, which is from the London Exchange, so the gold coin was engraved with the words "London Exchange". Later, the British Museum fought back for a sky-high price of 350,000 pounds. There are very few such cultural relics in England. The British Museum regards it as a national treasure,..."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Sanyan again and said, "Your gold coin is definitely not the one in the London Museum. Because you don't have the words "I came to my London Exchange, it is a newly discovered gold coin, and it must be a Cohen Wolf gold coin, which is useless!"
Chen San was stunned, looked at Zhou Xuan, and then asked again: "Then... the value of this gold coin...?"
Mr. Yang tilted his head and thought for a while, then said to Chen San: "Old Chen, we have known each other for many years. To be honest, the highest real value of this gold coin will not exceed five million. The normal transaction price is between four million and five million. However, in China, it may be a little lower. If this gold coin is auctioned in the UK, it may exceed five million. Lao Chen, are you interested in selling it to me?"
Mr. Yang stared at Chen San with great anticipation, stretched out a finger and said, "I'll give you five million, which is the highest price. If I take it to the UK and make a fuss, I will make a little more profit. But I don't want to sell it. The British Museum regards as a national treasure. I own one privately, which is a very proud thing. Five million is not difficult for me. Lao Chen, what do you think?"
Chen San looked at Zhou Xuan and said halfway. The young man said everything was completely true, but he couldn't believe it!
After thinking about it, hesitating for a while, Chen Sanyan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yang, I'll tell you the truth. This gold coin is not mine, but this one..."
Chen San pointed at Zhou Xuan and said, "The gold coins belong to this gentleman. I don't even know his name. If Brother Yang is interested, just talk to him directly. I won't get into this kick!"
Zhou Xuan looked at Chen San deeply. Although this old Chen was a profitable businessman, his honesty was very straightforward. It was rare that he had never made this friend before!
Without thinking, Zhou Xuan said, "Mr. Yang, let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhou and I am a country man. You don't have to ask me about other origins or something. I also said it directly. I told Boss Chen that I will sell this gold coin to him for three million. If Mr. Yang wants it, no matter how much you give it, please negotiate with Boss Chen!"
Zhou Xuan’s statement made Chen Sanyan and Mr. Yang stunned!
Zhou Xuan clearly came to sell this gold coin. Logically speaking, he wanted money, but now he could get two million more and sell it for a high price of five million. Why did Zhou Xuan even force him to Chen Sanyan? He gave him two million for nothing?
He really couldn't figure it out. Chen Sanyan was surprised. He didn't want to give money for nothing. But he insisted on giving him a price of two million. Besides, this is not two hundred yuan, but two million yuan. Ordinary people are enough for a lifetime, why not?
Chen Sanyan remembered the words Zhou Xuan said to him just now. It turned out to be sincere. This young man really felt a bit special!
Even Mr. Yang thought that Zhou Xuan was very interesting and special.
Chen Sanyan couldn't understand it. At the beginning, Zhou Xuanming said that he wanted to exchange money and he estimated which kind of person he was, but now he has completely overturned.
"This... I think Mr. Zhou would talk to Lao Yang himself, so I really won't interfere!" Chen Sanyan tried hard to stop his thoughts and persuaded Zhou Xuan to deal with Mr. Yang again.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Boss Chen, I like to make friends with you very much. If you think I am a friend, just think we have worked together this time!"
Chen San's eyes touched his chin and found that he began to like this young man named Zhou Xuan, not because he forced him to give him the money, but because he liked Zhou Xuan's persistence and straightforwardness, but more liked honesty.
Mr. Yang smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll do it. Although Zhou Xuan is young, he has a very personality and is very stable. My price for five million is the same as before. Old Chen will charge one million here, so he can get some introduction fee. What does Mr. Zhou think?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Boss Chen, what is Mr. Yang's opinion?"
Seeing that Zhou Xuan was not fake, Chen San smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhou, to be honest, I have never met a young man like you. Who doesn't like money if you do business? Haha, since Mr. Zhou is so persistent, then I'm better respectful than obey my duty!"
"Okay, I'll just hit the iron while it's hot!" Mr. Yang said with a smile, "Make the transaction!" After that, he took out the checkbook from his pocket and signed a four million and a one million.
Pushing the check in front of Chen Sanyan and Zhou Xuan, Mr. Yang said again: "The check is 24 hours a day, so I store this gold coin with Lao Chen. I will take it away after the check is cashed tomorrow. Mr. Zhou, is this OK?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "No need, Mr. Yang can take away the gold coins. I absolutely believe Mr. Yang!"
In the last experience, Mr. Yang was a friend he knew with Wei Haihong. In the business world, he might lower the price, but he would never write a short check to ruin his reputation. He is certain. Besides, he is not the country boy Zhou Xuan who has never seen the world before.
Seeing Mr. Yang's smile, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt aroused and remembered something, but hesitated. After thinking about it, he asked hesitantly: "Mr. Yang, I know that you have a lot of experience in the collection industry, and you have a very good understanding of antique culture in various countries and have a lot of knowledge, so... I want to ask you something, but I don't know..."
Mr. Yang immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, although you are much younger than me, I definitely don't treat you as a child. If you have any questions, just tell me. As long as I can answer and I know, I can tell you everything!"
Zhou Xuan looked at Wei Xiaoyu next to him again, then opened his backpack and took out the Nine Dragon Cauldron. This thing was so strange. If the gold and stones were still understood, it was an alien object, but this Nine Dragon Cauldron was definitely not just an alien object or the high-end technology on the earth. This thing would not be automatically generated in any case, and it must have been made, but his ice gas could not be detected, and he was not sure of any other functions.
Zhou Xuan put the Jiulong Cauldron on the coffee table, bit his lip, and then said, "I want to ask some people to help me see this thing. What is the origin of this Jiulong Cauldron? Do you recognize it?"
Uncle Liu first took it in his hand and looked it up and down. He looked it over and pondered: "This tripod... is very strange in style, different from any other tripod of shape. Moreover, the pattern and craftsmanship should not be an antique, and the material is also very strange. It is not like any metal, but it is not made of plastic or wood. It is really strange. It is said to be metal, but it does not have the weight of metal. But I guess it may be a modern handicraft!"
Chen Sanyan's identification technique of antiques is slightly better than Uncle Liu. Of course, it is only one aspect, such as bronzes. He carefully looked at the Jiulong Cauldron and then identified it from the weight pattern. Finally, he still shook his head and pondered: "Uncle Liu said that this thing looks like a modern handicraft, but I also think it is strange, but it is just a strange feeling. I can't tell what the reason is, but to be honest, I can't identify this thing!"
After saying that, he handed the Jiulong Cauldron to Mr. Yang, shaking his head while returning it.
Mr. Yang had been paying attention when Chen Sanyan and Uncle Liu looked at it. When he took it to his hands, his expression became heavier. He frowned while looking at it, but the more he looked, the more surprised he became. In the end, even his hands trembled!
After a long period of shock and suspicion, Mr. Yang asked Zhou Xuan: "Mr. Xiao Zhou, how did you... get this little tripod?"
When Mr. Yang asked this, his face looked extremely abnormal and his voice was trembling.
Chen Sanyan and Uncle Liu felt that Mr. Yang's expression was abnormal, but Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu were even more surprised. Could it be that Mr. Yang actually recognized this Nine Dragon Cauldron?
