This set of Song Dynasty porcelain has been watched by many people. Once it goes to the auction stage, there may be some changes. Although the Tang family is wealthy, they are not willing to take advantage of others and bid for it.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Gu Beicheng came to Pava several times to negotiate the price with Chen Sanping and wanted to do private transactions.
They tried to persuade him for a long time, but when they saw that Chen Sanping still had a tough attitude, they turned their anger on Xu Tian.
If Gu Beicheng was leading the team this time, the deal might have been completed by now, and Chen Sanping would be treated as a guest.
But now not only can't they make a deal, but looking at Chen Sanping's attitude, I'm afraid that even at the private auction held in the afternoon, he won't be able to show any favoritism to them.
"The set of Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain in the hands of Boss Chen is a very rare treasure. It is said that the Western Alliance forces snatched it from our ancestors. I was lucky enough to take a look last time. A set of seven sets of porcelain is very well preserved.
, without any chips or flaws, if this set of porcelain is brought back to China, it will definitely become a treasure of the Imperial Capital Museum."
"As far as I know, there are many buyers eyeing this set of porcelain, including businessmen from the Kimchi Country and Sakura Country next door. The boss Li mentioned by Boss Chen just now is the Li family from one of the four major consortiums in the Kimchi Country. They
But I am determined to snatch this precious set of porcelain bottles."
"If we cannot reach a private deal with Boss Chen this time and let this set of porcelain bottles go up for auction, not to mention the variables that will arise, the transaction price will probably increase several times higher."
"Mr. Gu came to Pava several times to negotiate with Boss Chen before, and finally convinced Boss Chen to do private transactions with us. Now because Xu Tian has taken the credit from Mr. Gu, he insists on coming to the auction in Mr. Gu's place, causing Boss Chen to get angry.
If you refuse the transaction, how should you explain it to the group?"
"Hmph, he thought that he could take away Mr. Gu's credit by just blowing off the pillow. What a wishful thinking. Now he's shot himself in the foot. He can just wait to go back and apologize!"
Some of these people continued to persuade Chen Sanping, while others stood in front of Xu Tian and complained indifferently, almost blaming Xu Tian by name for his incompetence, which caused them to mess up the deal.
From beginning to end, Xu Tian showed no reaction to their accusations and just sat calmly in the hall drinking tea.
The experts were almost speechless when they saw that Xu Tian was still so leisurely and did not feel ashamed at all because he had caused trouble to them. They couldn't help but become even more furious.
Bai Lu couldn't stand it anymore. He came to Xu Tian worriedly and lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Xu, the situation is a bit tricky right now. I'd better call A Wei and ask him to call Lu Qian. Maybe this Chen
The boss can relent for Lu Qian’s sake..."
Xu Tianwen Yan waved his hands lightly and said slowly: "There is no need to ask Lu Qian to come over."
"But..." Bai Lu couldn't guess what Xu Tian was thinking, so he could only worry.
At the same time, Jiang Yan saw that Chen Sanping refused to trade with them, so he could only call Gu Beicheng.
After the call was connected, he first whispered a few words to Gu Beicheng, then walked up to Chen Sanping with the phone and said to him: "Boss Chen, Mr. Gu wants to say something to you..."
Chen Sanping took the call, and his arrogant aura immediately calmed down a bit: "Hello, Mr. Gu, didn't we agree before that you would lead a team to trade with me this time? Now we have temporarily changed people, I am
It’s impossible to agree to a deal with him!”
"How could I hand over such precious blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty to a young boy casually? If something went wrong after passing through his hands, then my brand, Chen Sanping, would be ruined. I think you should too."
Can you understand me?"
Gu Beicheng on the other end of the phone didn't know what he said to Chen Sanping, which made Chen Sanping's tone become a little helpless.
"Sigh... I also feel sorry for Mr. Gu, but since you have spoken, I have to give you face. Since you have no objection, then I will make a deal with that boy named Xu."
"No, no... Mr. Gu can be so generous and consider the overall situation at such a young age. Chen really admires him!"
…
Chen Sanping took his cell phone and exchanged greetings with Gu Beicheng for a few words before returning the phone to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan looked at Chen Sanping expectantly and asked cautiously: "Boss Chen, this group of blue and white porcelain..."
Chen Sanping still had a straight face and looked reluctant: "Now that Mr. Gu has spoken, I can't break his promise. You can check the set of porcelain later and make sure it is correct before paying.
"
Although Gu Beicheng had seen the set of Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain before, it still had to be inspected again before the antique was traded. In addition to ensuring that the antiques had not been subcontracted, it was also the final confirmation of authenticity.
After all, the rule of the antique store is that no one is responsible for the goods once they have been sold. No matter what happens after the money is settled, the seller is not responsible. Therefore, before the transaction, the buyer will take every possible precaution to ensure that the antiques he buys are not fakes.
And without flaws.
You should know that even if it is genuine, if there are some minor flaws, the value of the antique itself will be greatly reduced. Therefore, buyers usually bring a few expert consultants to carefully inspect it with a magnifying glass.
When Jiang Yan and others saw Chen Sanping relenting, they were all overjoyed and nodded their thanks repeatedly: "Thank you, Boss Chen, we will follow you right away."
The members of the expert team, who were still anxious, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Mr. Gu has to take action in person to negotiate this deal."
"Isn't that right? In the past, when Mr. Gu and I came to Pawa, we always concluded the business smoothly, and we never encountered any difficulties or glares."
As he said this, the experts all looked at Xu Tian, their dissatisfaction palpable.
"Some people don't know how to pretend to understand, and they cause us to be despised by others. But in the end, they sit there and act like they are nothing, and they are really shameless..."
Not long after, the clerk in the antique shop carefully carried out four large wooden boxes under Chen Sanping's instructions. Each wooden box was padded with licorice, foam and fine silk. There were also two wooden boxes inside.
A brocade box containing only porcelain.
Four large wooden boxes and a total of seven porcelain bottles were placed in front of everyone.
In fact, judging the authenticity of porcelain is very particular. In addition to testing the understanding of the history of ancient Chinese porcelain, it also requires mastering certain basic knowledge of physics and chemistry.
Of course, even the most authoritative experts cannot guarantee that their judgments are 100% accurate, so they need to use sophisticated instruments for testing when necessary.
Xu Tian also read a lot of information during this period and has a certain understanding of the development history of Chinese ceramics.
At this time, he glanced at the seven Song Dynasty blue and white porcelains in front of him, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. It was this Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain that gave Gu Beicheng an eyeful in his previous life, and also caused the Tang family to suffer hundreds of millions of losses.
