"No problem." Xu Tian looked around at the other senior executives in the conference room: "Does anyone else want to participate in the gambling game?"
"And me." Du Zhongyan sneered: "If you lose, get out of the Tang family!"
How could a young boy who knew nothing about antiques have the confidence to think that he could find an antique worth more than that set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty?
They searched for half a year before getting the news about the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. He did not believe that Xu Tian could find an antique worthy of becoming a museum treasure in just a few days.
Jiang Yan and Chen Sanping were shocked when they heard that Xu Tian and Tang Jihuai and others were betting.
Especially Jiang Yan, who originally thought that he would compromise obediently if he called the senior officials of the Tang family to put pressure on Xu Tian, but he did not expect that Xu Tian would be so arrogant. Not only did he not admit his mistakes, he even dared to make wild claims and make bets with the senior officials.
When Chen Sanping saw the scene of Xu Tian making a bet with the senior officials of the Tang family, he just shook his head in disdain.
It seems that the Tang family is really in decline, otherwise how could it be reduced to allowing Xu Tian, a young boy with no qualifications, to dominate and even dare to ride on the heads of the elders of the Tang family.
But after all, this is a domestic matter within the Tang family, and even if these people get into a fight, it has nothing to do with him.
And since the set of Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain has been resold to Li Wancai, no matter whether the Tang family regrets it or not, there is no reason to negotiate with him again.
Whether it was an internal fight in the Tang family or whether Xu Tian surrendered and asked Li Wanchai to transfer the porcelain, he only had to watch the show.
"Okay, Jiang Yan, don't hang up on your video call. We also want to verify what kind of rare treasures there are in the batch of porcelain Xu Tian bought!" Du Zhongyan said coldly.
"Understood." Jiang Yan agreed, and the clerk in the store asked for a mobile phone holder and adjusted the angle of the mobile phone video just enough to allow the Tang family executives at the other end to see what was going on in the store.
With less than two hours left before the afternoon private auction started, more and more people came to Linglongzhai in advance. There were even tourists on the antique street who came running over after hearing that Linglongzhai was in trouble.
I want to watch the fun.
Xu Tian wrote a check for five million, turned to look at Mu Qiunian, and said, "Boss Mu, have you made a decision? Will you sell these porcelains?"
"Mr. Xu, do you really want to buy them all? I have plenty of time. In fact, you can choose slowly..."
After Mu Qiunian heard what Xu Tian and the Tang family elders said just now, he didn't want them to put all their bets on his batch of porcelain.
He knew very well what he had in hand. These porcelains from the late Qing Dynasty might be more popular at ordinary auctions, but compared with the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty, they were worth nothing.
Although the five million is very tempting to him, if he can really get the five million from Xu Tian, it will not only solve the problem of rent and store employee wages, but also bring his antique shop back to life.
Let him have enough funds to buy antiques.
But he didn't want Xu Tian to be criticized by the Tang family's senior management for acquiring these porcelains from him.
"No, I want to buy them all." Xu Tian handed the check to Mu Qiunian.
"Okay then, I'll ask someone to draft a contract for you."
Mu Qiunian took the check, turned around and told the waiter beside him to go back to the store to get the contract.
Since the transaction amount is only five million, there is no need to go to great lengths. As long as Xu Tian checks and confirms that there is no problem with the porcelain, and both parties sign the contract, the transaction is completed.
Li Wancai was also very proud of having obtained the peerless blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. He even called several experts who were familiar with him and asked them to come over and appraise the blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty.
Although he had previously determined that there was nothing wrong with this set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty, if this set of porcelain could be identified by those well-known experts, it would be equivalent to adding a layer of gold to the precious porcelain.
With the appraisal certificate issued by the expert, he can sell it at a higher price when trading with the wealthy merchants of Sakura Country.
Of course, it also costs money to invite these well-known experts from Country Y to issue appraisal certificates. Li Wancai spent one million to invite these people.
Originally, the normal process was that the experts would not be able to conduct the appraisal until tomorrow. However, in order to slap Xu Tian in the face in front of everyone, he made a special call just now and asked the experts to come to the scene to conduct appraisal on the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty in his hand.
It is said that money can make all the difference, and with the high remuneration, those experts naturally readily agreed and rushed over as quickly as possible.
Seeing the experts entering the door, Chen Sanping immediately understood Li Wanchai's intention and couldn't help but look at Xu Tian provocatively.
"Mr. Xu, since you are so confident in your own vision, why not take this opportunity to let these experts appraise the porcelain you bought? I am also very curious about what you call the rare treasures that are more valuable than the blue and white porcelain of the Song Dynasty.
What does it look like?"
"These are all well-known antique appraisal experts in Country Y, and they can't be hired normally." Li Wancai also took the opportunity to encourage: "This is a rare opportunity, and you can also ask them to issue an appraisal certificate for your porcelain. What's the cost?
Even if it's on my head, it's a welcome gift to the guests coming from afar."
Li Wancai acted very generous, but in fact he was going to have the porcelain in his hands appraised, so asking experts to appraise Xu Tian's batch of porcelain was just a casual matter and it didn't cost much at all.
.
Of course, his main purpose in doing this was to use the words of those experts to slap Xu Tian in the face in public, so that he would not be able to step down.
You must know that Mu Qiunian's batch of porcelains were all from the late Qing Dynasty. Even if they were authenticated, they would not be of any great value. As for the value, which cost three to four hundred thousand, it was impossible to compare with the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty in his hand.
He wanted to see how Xu Tian, who had just vowed to do so, would end up after hearing the conclusions given by the experts.
"Boss Li's kindness is hard to refuse. Naturally, I am willing to let these experts identify it for me, but..."
"It's just what, you don't dare to let the experts identify it, right?" Li Wancai said aggressively.
"Of course it's not that I don't dare, but what if there are treasures in the batch of porcelain I bought that have never been seen before, and even experts can't identify them? What should I do?"
"Mr. Xu, how about this? I also know a few appraisers here who are qualified to issue professional appraisal certificates. I will call them now to invite them. With so many professional appraisers present, there will definitely be no
