Chapter 57: Intriguing business
Zhu Yu dialed Old John's phone number.
Old John was also very surprised when he saw the photo sent by Zhu Yu:
"I never thought that something like this could be found in a container! It's really surprising!"
"Who can these things be sold to?" Zhu Yu asked, "I speculate that at least one of the two cannons is real."
"Let me think about it," Old John thought for a while, "As for the cannon, it can be collected or used as a prop.
But those old things are very troublesome, forget it, you should contact Judy directly! Although that woman doesn’t have a good reputation, at least she is quite happy to collect things!”
Zhu Yu understood.
Old John has the contact information of collectors, but the way these people pay is probably not very friendly.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yu dialed Judy's number and explained the situation.
"What? Bronze cannons from the Civil War? Are you telling the truth? Oh my God! God! Zhu, are you sure it's not the current imitation?"
"One of them is an imitation. The other one is most likely real." Zhu Yu said, "By the way, there are also two rifles, Springfield. As for whether they are genuine or not, I need you to come and identify them. There is a high probability that they are also real..."
"Wait for me!" Judy told Zhu Yu with her attitude how anxious she was.
Zhu Yu knew immediately that this was a big deal!
Otherwise, Judy, who regards wealth as her life, would not have been so anxious and ran over without even listening to her words!
Haha, it’s finally time to kill her!
Seeing Zhu Yu smile, Jason asked cautiously:
"Boss, can you recover the cost by selling these things?"
"Recover the cost?" Zhu Yu listened and smiled, "No, no, no, at least we can recover several times the cost!"
On the old American second-hand NetEase website, although such bronze cannons are out of stock, there are people who want to buy them, and each one costs US$150,000!
Of course, it has to be authentic.
Springfield rifles cost several thousand dollars each.
Military uniforms may not be valuable, but if they are genuine, why should they cost a few hundred dollars?
Judy came very quickly, and the car roared to a stop at the door of the container.
Judy rushed out of the car with an excited expression. When she saw Zhu Yu, she just nodded and rushed to the container to see the two cannons.
Judy inspected the first cannon for a while, then immediately went to look at the second cannon.
Zhu Yu ignored her and continued to move the things in the container with Jason.
After moving all the wooden boxes out, Jason was a little disappointed.
Because except for two cannons and two rifles, the remaining wooden boxes were all filled with old military uniforms.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's too valuable.
By the time the container was cleared, Judy had finished reading. At this time, she had returned to her usual calm. She slowly walked out and looked at the two rifles that Zhu Yu had put into exquisite holsters.
"Are these the two rifles you are talking about?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu nodded.
Judy was a little confused and a little regretful.
Usually when treasure hunters encounter such a big treasure, they often immediately ask how much it is worth.
To these treasure hunters, cultural relics and antiques are nothing, they just want to know how much these things are worth!
Why is Zhu Yu not in a hurry now?
Judy probably understood that she was too impatient just now!
However, she had no choice but to be impatient. One of her clients had been looking for a bronze cannon like this and kept emphasizing the need for genuine products.
That customer is very rich, and competitors are poaching all the time. If you can't come up with something that satisfies the other party, you have to be mentally prepared to lose this customer!
Judy even wondered if Zhu Yu joined a gang to help her.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Judy's face, she squatted down and picked up the rifle to check.
Jason happened to be standing not far behind her, looking at the woman's raised buttocks, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This woman knows how to use her own strengths so well!
Although the MILF is half old, her charm is still there.
"These two rifles are well maintained!" Judy is a professional after all, and quickly gave the answer, "These sets of military uniforms are also genuine, but the maintenance is a bit poor."
Zhu Yu thought to himself, can wood, iron and cloth be the same?
After the appraisal was completed, Zhu Yu didn't take the initiative to ask for the price. Judy was a little frustrated. This Chinese young man was getting harder and harder to fool!
She had no choice but to take the initiative to speak:
"I can offer you $8,000 for this imitation bronze cannon..."
Zhu Yu nodded, the price is fair.
"Two Springfield rifles cost three thousand five hundred dollars each... plus these uniforms, that gives you ten thousand dollars."
Zhu Yu nodded again.
"That bronze cannon is genuine. I can offer you $100,000. Zhu, you will definitely make a lot of money this time!"
Judy looked happy for Zhu Yu, and then prepared to withdraw the money.
"No, no, no." Zhu Yu stopped her, "Ms. Judy, I think your previous offers are good, and I accept them. But the price you offered for the genuine cannon is too low, and I can't accept it!"
"Too low?" Judy said with a surprised expression: "One hundred thousand dollars! This is the income of an ordinary worker in two years. You earned it in one afternoon, but it's still too low?"
Zhu Yu's face darkened:
"Judy, I think you misunderstood one thing! How much money I make and how much this cannon is worth are two different things! If you still insist on this price, then I can only say sorry! I want New York City
There is no shortage of collectors!”
When Zhu Yu said this, Judy became anxious!
However, she was not sure whether Zhu Yu was just deceiving her or if there were real sales channels.
So Judy still tried to say:
"Okay, I want these things, how about paying now?"
"Okay!" Zhu Yu saw that Judy was bluffing and said with a smile: "Just pay for these items according to the price you quoted."
While withdrawing money, Judy asked casually:
"What are you going to do about that door?"
"Sell it! Once you take this imitation cannon away, I will contact other buyers."
Judy handed over 18,000 US dollars to Zhu Yu and asked people to load the car while asking:
"The price of one hundred thousand dollars is already a good price, why don't you think about it again?"
"No, we have a saying in China that a deal cannot be done without justice. It is normal to be unable to reach an agreement. It's okay, Ms. Judy, you don't need to worry, there is no shortage of buyers for this cannon."
Judy was already planning to walk to the car. Seeing that Zhu Yu had no intention of stopping her, she knew that she was probably going to bleed this time!
She shook her head helplessly and walked back:
"Zhu, you win, make your bid!"
Zhu Yu pretended not to know and said:
"What did I win? We in China are all about win-win when doing business! Ms. Judy, what do you mean? Are you ready to buy this cannon?"
"Yes, I bought this cannon, you can make an offer!" Judy felt very frustrated, and this time she was really caught!
"If you really want to buy it, then I think US$150,000 is a good price." Zhu Yu said with a faint smile.
"Impossible!" Judy almost shouted in opposition after hearing the offer, "Even if I put this cannon upside down and sell it, it won't be so expensive!"
"Well, since we have cooperated several times, I will lower the price a bit, to US$148,000!"
When Judy saw Zhu Yu's "I am very generous" look, she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood!
However, she was really determined to get this cannon, so she gritted her teeth and descended little by little.
In the end, the two parties closed the deal for US$138,000.
Judy left angrily, but Zhu Yu couldn't close his mouth with laughter!
Five hundred thousand, finally enough!
Chapter completed!
