Go back to 1990 to start a business

As expected, Boss Zhang arrived within a phone call. Not only did he arrive, he also brought an outstanding person with him.

Because Xia Chuan said Wen Guo invited him to dinner and let him see a cultural relic by the way, but he didn't say anything about the cultural relic. If he couldn't see it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

So the person he brought was Ma Modu, the director of the only private museum in the country.

The two of them walked into the restaurant under the leadership of their bodyguards. Everyone in Xia Chuan stood up to greet them. They were immediately flattered. They were really waiting for them to eat.

After chatting and sitting down, Xia Chuan smiled and said:

"We will look at the cultural relics later. Today is the time for us to move the hot pot, especially Teacher Ma. Let's eat first and exchange feelings. We will inevitably come and go often in the future. Let's toast you two as a family."

The two of them understood as soon as they heard that Xia Chuan was so rich and bought such a big house. It was unreasonable not to collect hundreds of cultural relics. It was true that they would come and visit often in the future. They were also happy in their hearts to be able to associate with such a wealthy person as Xia Chuan. Heavenly Giant, there are too many benefits. Everyone gave a blessing and everyone did it.

Osmanthus is responsible for pouring wine.

Xia Chuan picked up his chopsticks: "Come, let's talk while eating."

Boss Zhang had been a secretary and a reporter, and his eloquence was very good. He greeted everyone one by one before eating a few bites, praised the house, even the bodyguards, and even the manhole cover. I haven’t mentioned what Shiyun is most proud of.

Ma Modu, on the other hand, just smiled and said nothing, never stealing his limelight.

Xia Chuan secretly sighed. Among the group of people, the silent one was the most powerful.

Ma Mo looks like he is in his 40s, as if he is of the same generation as Chu Anning. In fact, he is only 38, but he has already founded his own museum. He has the elegant temperament of a scholar and the shrewd wisdom of a businessman.

Boss Zhang finally turned to the cultural relics: "Xia Chuan, it's hard for you to have a collection of hundreds of pieces in such a big house. What kind do you like?"

Xia Chuan smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm just an idiot and haven't seen a few of them. But to say I like it, I went to Southeast Asia two days ago and brought back a bronze ware, Osmanthus fragrans. I'm going to get it."

Guihua left in response, and Xia Chuan continued: "This is an Old Summer Palace animal head, a rabbit head. Two teachers will help me confirm it. The price is not small. If it is fake, I will go back to find him."

Everyone in Shiyun smiled, Xia Chuan was just joking, it couldn't be fake, it was just that it needed to be authenticated before donating.

Even if it is fake, it is impossible to go back and look for it. How much will the new mine cost?

Ma Mo thought Xia Chuan was really a white man, and said with a broken face: "Brother Xia, the rule of the antique shop is to buy it and leave it. If you go back to find it, you will ruin your reputation. It's not worth it unless you have to."

Boss Zhang refused to comment. He had seen many domineering people, so it was not surprising that Xia Chuan went back to look for him.

And the other party will definitely be obedient, and the rules are set by people.

Xia Chuan is the one who is qualified to set the rules. He can definitely set the rules. If I buy a fake, I must return it. Anyone who is not sure should not sell it to me.Make sure everything you buy in the future is genuine.

Osmanthus came back with a box. This box was made later and was much prettier than the original one.

Boss Zhang took it carefully with both hands. Ma Mo put on gloves and opened the lid. He only glanced at the gloss and blurted out: "This is true."

Everyone was immediately impressed.

Of course it is true, Zaomai dares to make a fake one to deceive Xia Chuan?

Ma Mo took out the rabbit head, and the two admired it over and over again. Boss Zhang sighed: "This is true for anyone to see."

"That's right. You'll know it's true when you hear the sound." Ma Modu picked up a spoon and tapped it lightly. No one knew what was special about the sound, so they had no choice but to say nothing.

Ma Modu explained: "The palace bronze is different from ready-made copper. It is an alloy and will never rust. Of course, the sound is different."

Xia Chuan suddenly said: "Mr. Ma, have you seen other animal heads?"

"I've seen one, in Wanwan Museum, it's a dragon head. Don't even think about that one, it's impossible to sell it." Ma Modu knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it, and said with a smile.

Boss Zhang became more energetic: "Xia Chuan, do you want to buy other animal heads? Although I have never seen them, I know that ox, tiger, horse and monkey are all in the hands of one person."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they bought four of them at once. The amount was quite different.

Although Xia Chuan also knew it, he asked cooperatively: "In whose hands?"

Ma Mo even smiled. He didn't say anything just now, he just left it to Boss Zhang to say. After all, he was the leader.

Boss Zhang said with great enthusiasm:

"They are all in the hands of Wanwan entrepreneur Cai Chennan. He bought them at Sotheby's auctions from 87 to 89. The most expensive of these four is the horse head. When the horse was successful, he spent 25 Dollar."

Shiyun asked casually: "What's the current valuation?"

Boss Zhang turned to Ma Modu and asked, "How much do you think it's worth?"

Ma Modu smiled and said: "There is no accurate price for cultural relics. It all depends on how you operate it. Let me give you an example. For example, Brother Xia bought a rabbit head. Does anyone know about this?"

Shiyun shook his head: "Those who sell will never tell. Those who know are sitting here."

The two of them were shocked, and suddenly felt something unusual. Ma Weidu tried: "So it's first-hand? Oh, let me talk about manipulation."

He knew it was true as soon as he saw the crowd's eyes. The seller robbed it from the Old Summer Palace. Of course, it was impossible for the seller to rob it in person. It was probably his father or grandfather who robbed not only the animal heads, not to mention giving the Old Summer Palace to If it is burned, it will fall into the hands of China... How many times should I die?

Ma Modu continued:

"For example, the rabbit head now sold at Sotheby's auction started at US$30. This is obviously higher than the value of the cultural relic, but it will definitely sell, because Cai Chennan will definitely buy it. He already has four. If you really save it all, the value will immediately increase tenfold.

Of course, he couldn't collect them all, at least there was nothing he could do about the dragon head.

Therefore, the price is not fixed.For the twelve zodiac animal heads, if I were to determine the price order, the first place would be the dragon, the second place would be the horse, and the third place would be the tiger.Everything else has to be discounted in half from the price of the tiger, which is determined by traditional culture.

Therefore, I don’t quite believe that Boss Cai can sell you four.

Ma, he must stay.

Unless you don't care about money, if you add 100 million or 200 million upwards, then don't say anything. There will always be a price that can knock him down.

The remaining three cannot be sold cheaply. Everything is valuable in a complete set, and this is a small set.

The tiger sells for 50, the ox and the monkey sell for 50, which adds up to 100 million U.S. dollars, and they won’t kill you.

However, there is another possibility. Brother Xia may have bought all four pieces for US$100 million.

Just make friends. Does Cai Chennan want to do business?Do you need a partner?

And, as far as I know, the Cai family's company is going bankrupt.

Of course it won't really go bankrupt, but, how should I put it, their land is very valuable, banks are willing to lend, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They may not be so poor that they sell animal heads. It all depends on whether you can give him what he needs. "

Everyone was filled with admiration. Ma Mo was definitely the top professional.

Xia Chuan sighed in his heart that Ma Modu was too insightful.

The fact is just as he said, in 2000, Boss Cai auctioned the tiger, ox, and monkey at Sotheby's, but kept only the horse.

The price of Ox and Monkey is 800 to [-] million.

The price of a tiger is 1500 million, which is almost twice as high as that of an ox and a monkey!

However, the horse head was kept until 2007, when Boss Cai finally sold it for 9500 million to the gambling king.

If Long wants to sell, it will start at [-] million.

But Wanwan won’t sell it even if he is poor. What does the leading mean?

Xia Chuan smiled warmly and said: "Teacher Ma's analysis is very good, but actually I don't want these four things. I just want to know where are the dog head, chicken head, snake head, and sheep head? Are there any clues? "

Xia Chuan's question was so unfathomable that the two of them took a breath of air.
