Han Xuan is growing, and Fat Ding and others are growing.

As they grow older, those animals are becoming smarter now.

In the end, he refused the generous conditions given by Columbia Records. In fact, Han Xuan could agree, but out of selfishness, he did not want these two guys to leave him for too long and was always with him, so he had long been used to it.

After receiving a call, he did not continue to stay in the recording studio and said goodbye to Ramirez, asking him to go directly to his apartment tonight and would say hello to the security guards at the door.

The call just now was called by the old man. He said that he encountered a very rare collectible and asked Han Xuan to help discuss with the other party if he had time and tried to buy it.

The transaction location was the Manhattan Antique Center I visited a few years ago. I arrived in a short while by helicopter.

Following the familiar route in my memory, I found the old building more than 20 stories across the street, went in from the alley next to me, and took the elevator to the third floor.

There was someone guarding the elevator door, and the monitor camera was changed to a new style. The man in black just looked at him, then smiled and said welcome, and helped open the iron door.

This is the highest-end private antique trading location in the entire Manhattan, and it can even be said to be the highest-end in the United States.

The organizer cooperates with many auction houses and private collection enthusiasts, acting as intermediaries, and helping them trade antiques. Whether legal or illegal, it can be done here.

Among the rows of cabinets that are like jewelry display cabinets, there are fine antiques from various countries, and things sold for less than 300,000 US dollars, and there is almost no chance of being placed here.

Last time I came here with my old man, I bought a large bowl of red peony and chrysanthemums under glaze in Hongwu of Ming Dynasty, a bag of enamel, a yellow ground, floating clouds, flying phoenixes and peony patterns by Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Tingjian's "The Pillar Inscription", and a plum vase of Xiao He, a Yuan blue and white, chased Han Xin under the moon, and spent a total of more than 50,000 US dollars.

Today, the price of ordinary antiques in China is not high, but the prices of the finest products have always remained high.

That's because although the domestic market has not yet been exhibited, so many Chinese people overseas support this market. Japan, South Korea and other places have similar cultures to China. Rich people in these two countries also like to collect Chinese cultural relics, which has led to the rising prices of fine Chinese antiques in the international market in recent years.

For example, the bronze craft in Suzaku that I saw last time was priced at $65 at the time. It has not been sold yet, but now it has risen to one million US dollars.

If other things cannot be sold, they may be sold at a price, but the artwork is not among those products. Anyway, they only occupy a cabinet position and you can always meet people who like it. This thing has no shelf life. If the owner is not in a hurry to take action, there is no reason to reduce the price.

Han Xuan is now interested in it. The bronze ware has exquisite workmanship, and there are two inscriptions on it, which read "Wu Ding".

In the late Shang Dynasty, there was a king named Wu Ding, which shows that this may have been something he used at that time, and it has a history of thousands of years...

After a while, Mr. Alfred, the boss here who had met before, came. He laughed and shook hands with Han Xuan, and said, "How about it, do you like this thing?

If you want me, I will give you a free handling fee. Take it for one million dollars. It has been here for several years.

You know the rules, I don’t accept bargaining here, but if I buy too much, I can give you a discount or give you a few more items."

"Um.

Please help me wrap this bronze ware and take it away when I leave later and check out together.

My grandfather asked me to come here to find you. He said he didn't know what it was. Can you tell me what it was? "

"Haha! It's not my fault. The collector is unwilling to disclose it. He can only watch the goods in person and sign a confidentiality agreement. That's really a good thing.

You can check it out here first. I have called the seller and she is here with her stuff now.

There are many new good things. I believe there must be one you like. They are all old customers. How about I only charge you one percent for the transaction fee? Are you satisfied with this price?

If ordinary people come here, I will collect three percent now..."

Han Xuan replied with a smile: "It's very reasonable. No wonder my grandfather likes to buy things for you, so thank you.

There are indeed many fine antiques, but the prices are similar to those at auction, so I'll take a look first."

"It's a little expensive, but I promise they are all real. If you buy fakes from me, you can come to me at any time.

I have been in business for so many years, and the reason I have been doing so big is because of my good reputation and they believe me."

After Alfred, the owner of the antique trading bank said, he led Han Xuan and the others to visit the cabinets one by one.

There are about forty or fifty similar cabinets in the space of hundreds of square meters, and there are oil paintings, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. The total number of antiques is over 100.

Han Xuan, the antique in Europe, didn’t know much about it, and only knew the names of kings or nobles on the label.

He now saw that in a transparent glass cabinet, there was actually a set of red women's underwear, both of which were on the upper and lower parts.

When Han Xuan saw the name written on the label, he didn't find it strange about why it appeared here.

Because they were worn by American actress Marilyn Monroe, they were specially marked as "unwashed", and the price was as high as 330,000 US dollars.

Yalfred saw Han Xuan's strange eyes and shrugged and said without hesitation: "Some people always like these strange things.

In fact, it is still very popular and has been bought for $410,000. I will come here to get it in the next few days."

“It’s really strange.

How did her underwear be saved until now? And how did you know that this was worn by Marilyn Monroe?" Han Xuan asked one after another.

“It’s the same style as an old photo, which was made by Monroe, and there’s only one set in the world.

Moreover, the person who sent the lots to her once worked as a maid at her house. The fillings and fabrics are in line with the underwear from decades ago. This set must be hers.

As for whom I finally wore it, I can't be sure. Anyway, I'll definitely not wash it after wearing it in the end. I think they only have Monroe in their minds and don't care about anything else.

I just said that it was not washed, and I didn't say that it was not washed after Monroe passed through, and there were traces of secretions on it."

"...Sir, you have successfully disgusted me."

Things that celebrities have used are also very popular in the Western collection industry. Han Xuan once met the bags that Ms. Audrey Hepburn used when she was young at an auction, but was finally bought for 80,000 US dollars. Even Hermes bags are not so expensive.
