C171 Meeting
The deal of a priceless Chenghua Chicken Cup With Contending Colors was not as simple as just a single line of news. It involved complex contact negotiations, appraisal, trading, and even asking a professional to go through reasonable tax evasion as well as tax reporting. This set of journeys was definitely much harder than importing cars!
Of course, during the appraisal, it would be best to use equipment. This way, the buyer would be convinced, and Yang Bo also raised this question.
The Fat Liu replied, "They are unwilling to use instruments to test it."
Yang Bo was very surprised, "What reason?"
"Instrumentation can cause damage to porcelain!" Fat Liu said.
Yang Bo was dumbstruck, "That shouldn't be possible. According to what I know, the test only needs a little bit of powder at the bottom, and the damage is very small!"
Fat Liu threw up his hands, "I have no other choice, this was the other party's decision!"
Yang Bo nodded, he knew that this was probably the other party's intention, "If it's really like this, then I won't be the only one who will be going over there right?"
The Fat Liu laughed and nodded, then spoke with some hesitation: "We have already invited the two experts, Mr. Gui, and Mei Chaoning!"
Yang Bo was a little shocked, he then nodded his head: "In that case, do we also have to go see the customer?"
Fat Liu laughed, "I knew it would be fun to communicate with Boss Yang!"
"When?" Yang Bo asked again.
"9 o'clock tomorrow morning!" Fat Liu said.
"Can I know the identity of the customer?" Yang Bo was a little curious.
"Gu Changshun."
Fat Liu and Yang Bo chatted for a while before he left. He still had many things to busy himself with.
Yang Bo spoke with Cao Yuande on the phone and also mentioned the recommended scenario. He suggested that Yang Bo give it a try, after all, if he could get involved in such a big event, it would benefit his growth and fame.
Yang Bo quickly asked: "Who is Gu Changshun?"
"Gu Changshun? I don't know. " Cao Yuande said.
Yang Bo originally thought that Gu Changshun would be an extremely famous rich man, after all, able to take out one hundred and fifty million to buy the Chenghua Chicken Cup With Contending Colors. Then, this customer must be rich, since Cao Yuande was not sure either, then he might really keep a low profile.
Fortunately the network was developed, Yang Bo quickly found Gu Changshun's information through the computer.
Gu Changshun, a merchant from Jin Province, a director of Jin Province's Changshun Mining Co., Ltd., did not have many descriptions of this person. However, Yang Bo had already understood that this was a coal mine owner!
In the antiques industry, other than operators like Yang Bo who knew how to trade, the biggest customers would be the real estate development company's bosses. The other customers would be the coal owners as these two industries could earn money quickly and suddenly become rich.
These bosses would always be willing to spend more money on antiques in order to invest in it or to be more elegant. As for some industrial company bosses, they appeared to be more thrifty.
On the second day, Yang Bo followed the route given by the Fat Liu and arrived outside the villa complex's entrance. Very quickly, he was led into a private villa.
This villa was not far from Yang Bo's residence. It was built around the Black Tortoise Lake and had a quiet and secluded environment. Yang Bo was extremely envious of this villa.
Fat Liu had already arrived first. When Yang Bo walked in, he heard Fat Liu laughing loudly.
There were four people in the living room, both Gui Rongjiu and Fat Liu knew each other. One was over fifty years old and was wearing a black suit, while the other wore gold-rimmed glasses, which Yang Bo had never seen before. The last one looked like a village farmer in his sixties or seventies, with a suntanned and wrinkled face.
The Fat Liu hurriedly stood up and introduced: "This is the last person I invited. Boss Yang Yang Bo, he owns an antique shop in Jinling, and has great attainments in appraising porcelain."
The old farmer looked at Yang Bo, "Xiao Liu, I didn't give you the task of finding a son-in-law for you! How old was this young man? How could he bear such a heavy responsibility? You should know that what I want to buy is over a hundred million items! "
Fat Liu was scolded, but he still had a smile on his face, "Boss Gu, even though your age is not big, doesn't mean your level is not high!"
Yang Bo immediately understood, this old farmer was actually Gu Changshun, the one wearing the gold-rimmed glasses, was definitely the last appraiser Mei Chaoning!
"I never thought that Fat Liu would actually invite Yang Bo!" Gui Rongjiu interrupted.
This sentence made everyone look over, Gu Changshun's attitude towards Gui Rongjiu was clearly better than before, "Oh? Teacher Gui recognizes this young lad? "
"We know each other, of course we know each other. We can be considered to be rather familiar with each other!" Gui Rongjiu laughed.
"Yang Bo did indeed have the ability to not underestimate top-notch experts when it came to appraising porcelain. It can be said that he got the right person when he was brought there this time." Gui Rongjiu explained to the crowd: "I believe everyone should have heard of that Fish Pattern Pottery Jar from the Yang-Shao culture era. That Fish Pattern Pottery Jar is in Yang Bo's hands!"
"A few days ago, I was doing programs in Jinling. At that time, Yang Bo brought a lacquer box over, and that lacquer box made all three of us experts stunned. In the end, it was Yang Bo who gave us a hint and appraised it, and it was estimated to reach five million!"
Gui Rongjiu had the intention of helping Yang Bo raise his price, but, it was indeed very useful, and with these words, Mei Chaoning gained a whole new level of respect for him.
Gu Changshun looked at Yang Bo, "What can the fish pattern colors be, what is it?"
"It's a Colored Pottery from the period of Yang-Shao culture, it's been around for a long time, it's probably been thousands of years, this can be considered a national treasure!" Fat Liu explained.
Gu Changshun was a little surprised, "If they were compared to Cheng Hua, who would have a higher price?"
Everyone was in a difficult position. According to value, Fish Pattern Pottery Jar s were not necessarily more expensive than chicken cups. Furthermore, Fish Pattern Pottery Jar s had never been traded before, so they were not useful.
Yang Bo laughed: "The price for the chicken cup is a little higher!"
"Didn't I say it!" Gu Changshun burst out laughing, extremely happy.
"How about this, I'll give you 10 million, you can sell me that useless Fish Pattern Pottery Jar!" Gu Changshun immediately laughed.
Yang Bo shook his head lightly, "Boss Gu is joking. I plan to treat this Fish Pattern Pottery Jar as my family heirloom."
"How about 20 million?" Gu Changshun looked towards Yang Bo, squinted his eyes, and the corners of his eyes became even more wrinkled.
"It won't sell." Yang Bo laughed.
Gu Changshun shook his head, "Then forget it, I am not the one who is going to steal someone's love!"
Yang Bo frowned, he did not like the other party's personality, but he had to admit, this rich person was not as crude as he seemed on the surface.
