Chapter 37 The Priceless Treasure
As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one never win a battle. Qi Fei and Guan Yingying’s preparations are indeed done on the edge.
After being pointed out as the hype king, Guo Jiandeng's attitude changed significantly because he already understood that the other party had known him before meeting him, and the basic price of this transaction had risen as a result.
In the film and television industry, Guo Jiandeng is a famous hype king, but in the collection industry, his few acquisitions that he had just entered the industry were bluntly rated as "silly people and more money" by industry insiders.
He dared to buy calligraphy and paintings with a market value of 500,000 yuan; everyone thought there was little room for appreciation, but he bought it back to collect it when the price peaked. When commenting, experts always laughed and said that Boss Guo had been leading the trend in the film and television industry for so many years, and he had already made enough money. Now he has finally stopped buying luxury cars and mansions and has begun to accumulate wealth.
You are kind to say, but everyone understands the meaning of it. People look down on Guo Jiandeng's blind collection and mock him for being a nouveau riche with art.
But some people also did some calculations for Guo Jiandeng and found that the things he bought had appreciated soon after. After careful calculation, although his behavior was ridiculed by industry insiders, he actually made money.
Gradually, there were fewer ridicule, and finally some people began to face up to Guo Jiandeng's name as the king of hype. People couldn't help but have a question, could this Guo Jiandeng be a cross-river Raptor, and his hype strength is not only open to the film and television industry, but also to the collection industry?
Industry insiders have mixed opinions about the behavior of this nouveau riche. But no matter what, Guo Jiandeng has established a small name in the collection industry. Anyone who has heard of him knows his two traits: the first is to spend money generously, and the second is that the things he collects will increase.
In other words, if he likes your stuff, then prepare to count the money.
Wang Zhuo thought it would be a bargaining like a tug-of-war, but after either the negotiation collapsed or the stalemate was stalemate and the two sides slowly considered it, but they didn't expect that the whole process would only take three minutes!
Guo Jiandeng took the lead in quoting a price of 20 million. This price is basically the price of this material. As usual, the party who buys things should try his best to lower the price when quoting. Guo Jiandeng skipped this step directly, which shows how rich he is.
The buyer bids, and of course it is the seller's turn to bargain. Wang Zhuo has to stay behind to fight, so Guan Yingying takes the lead, for example, counting some market conditions, quality, fame and other advantages, saying that this piece of jade is worth at least 30 million.
"Thirty million is too expensive, let's get a little lower." Guo Jiandeng hadn't looked at the jade carefully when he said this.
With a wink with Wang Zhuo, Guan Yingying continued: "This is the old pit material, which is something that cannot be compared with the new factory materials now. Mr. Guo, you also know that the ore in the old pit has been mined long ago. The current old pit material is stocked for many years. Maybe you will never bet on such good materials again in the future. I think it can only be two million cheaper at most, and it cannot be lower."
"You really can't be lowered anymore?" Guo Jiandeng looked at Wang Zhuo.
Of course, Wang Zhuo wanted to support Guan Yingying and nodded vigorously. Doing business means paying back the money at the spot at a high price, so let's negotiate slowly.
"Two eight million, it's still a bit expensive..." Guo Jiandeng thought for a moment and stood up: "Okay then."
Just when everyone thought he was going to say he would not buy someone, the old man smiled at Wang Zhuo and said, "Do you want cash or check?"
...
Guo Jiandeng was surprisingly quick in his work. The two experts he brought advised him to consider it again, but he firmly said no.
Until he received a transfer of 28 million yuan in the bank's large customer room, Wang Zhuo still didn't understand the situation. Today, he would still meet a group of Taiwanese collectors and two groups of jewelry companies? He sold it now?
Guo Jiandeng left in his extended Hummer. From beginning to end, he only looked at the jade once after the money was paid. He held it in his hand and threw it lightly. He was so scared that two experts subconsciously reached out to continue below, fearing that the treasure would fall to the ground and break it.
Wang Zhuo and the other two returned to the club, Guan Yingying said hesitantly: "Are we asking for a price too low?"
"It shouldn't be." Qi Feiqing frowned.
The four of them did not show any joy when they sold for such a high price, because the transaction was too weird and Guo Jiandeng was too happy to give the money.
"He bought the jade without even looking at the eye." Qiu Lu murmured: "This is the first time I have met a person who bought jade like this."
Guan Yingying smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder some people say that others are stupid and have a lot of money. I feel this way now!"
"By the way!" Wang Zhuo suddenly slapped his hands, which scared the four of them. "I should have transferred the money to you just now, I forgot!"
Qi Fei waved his hand quickly: "Wang Zhuo, we can't ask for this money, really."
Qiu Lu also said: "If you don't have any merits, you can't receive any rewards. If you give it right and wrong, just give it a red envelope."
Guan Yingying simply gave him a blank look: "All of you are friends, don't you just meet me if you ask for money?"
Wang Zhuo was unmoved and said stubbornly: "Then I will transfer the cash to you tomorrow and I will send it to you one by one."
Guan Yingying burst into laughter and said, "You have watched too many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies? The weight of 10,000 yuan is 115 grams, and one million is 1.5 kilograms. Do you think 2.8 million yuan can be loaded with a small box? "
Wang Zhuo was stunned, Qi Fei covered his mouth and smiled, "Two.8 million is thirty kilograms, don't give it to me, I can't hold it."
Qiu Lu also waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I have never done any strength in my work. I have no strength to tie a chicken."
"I don't believe it anymore. Are there really people who are afraid of money?" Wang Zhuo pretended to be angry and took out his cell phone and said, "I'll call the account manager and ask him to prepare the money."
"You fight." Guan Yingying smiled like a flower: "One percent of each of the three of us is 8.4 million, about 100 kilograms. I see where the account manager mobilized so much cash for you."
"The account manager will definitely advise you to transfer money. If you don't believe it, let's make a bet." Qiu Lu smiled and said, "He wishes you wouldn't even transfer the money. If you get more than 20 million in savings, he can make a lot of money in this moonlight bonus."
"Stop kidding." Qi Fei was just right, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Wang Zhuo, we really can't accept this money. You should give us three red envelopes."
"Okay, I'll give you red envelopes."
Seeing that the three of them were sincere, Wang Zhuo had to stop insisting. Anyway, making the red envelope bigger would have the same effect, and it would be enough to achieve his original intention.
"Oh, I forgot the serious business." Qi Fei suddenly took out his cell phone and smiled bitterly: "I also made an appointment with other collectors and jewelry companies, so now I have to apologize and turn it off."
...
In the Hummer, Guo Jiandeng was sucking clouds and fog again. Zhao Meng was holding the jade and looking carefully with a magnifying glass. Ma Zhongbai said a little regretfully: "Mr. Guo, this price is really a bit high, and it should be worth one or two million."
One or two million is his implicit statement. In fact, in his opinion, 22 or three million should be enough. If no one bids, it would be lower.
Guo Jiandeng smiled faintly: "It's okay, two thousand eight auspicious, I like it."
"This... isn't this arguing with money." Ma Zhongbo smiled bitterly. That's not two thousand eight thousand, two eight million.
Guo Jiandeng shook his head and said, "Now spending 10,000 more, someone will give me 20,000 more in the future. Since being generous will be good for everyone, why don't I do it?"
Zhao Meng put down the magnifying glass and smiled on the side: "With Mr. Guo's hype skills and the existing fame of this piece of jade, you will definitely make a lot of money this time."
"I didn't hype, I just discovered the value that others could not see." Guo Jiandeng smiled faintly: "This piece of jade is only worth more than 10 million in the eyes of mediocre people, but in the eyes of experts, it may be worth about 25 million. Guess, how much is it worth in my eyes?"
"I can't guess." The two shook their heads together.
