Chapter 614 Selling Treasures as Glass
When Chinese people continue to buy Chinese antiques from abroad, European and American sellers can't understand.
People in the Celestial Dynasty would not like to collect such collections for nearly 20 years because the use of Tang Sancai is for burial.
It was only when everything became a treasure that Tang Sancai was truly accepted by the Celestial Dynasty, and the number of people who wanted to collect it suddenly increased in a vengeful manner.
The house was bought directly, and it must be Judd who paid the money on the surface. As for where the money came from, of course it was the 3 million US dollars given to him in advance by Li Changheng and Prince Nasser.
After the contract was signed, the six tricolor figurines were sent to Li Changheng by Judd.
Two members of the Manzoni family were stared at by six strong men in suits outside a restaurant.
Although my heart was hairy and even a little scared, when I thought of seeing Henry Lee appearing in front of me with my own eyes, I immediately became excited and excited.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, the fact that Li Changheng is an astronaut on the moon, a super rich man, and kidnapped Princess Anne makes him the most popular among ordinary people among all the celebrities in the United States.
Half an hour later, I watched Li Changheng walk out of the restaurant and get on the car with the wooden box containing 6 tricolor figurines under the protection of sixteen bodyguards.
Members of the Manzoni family who didn't know that they had exposed their identities long ago, disguised as drivers and gallery employees, all they could think of was to report this matter to Fred as quickly as possible.
I'm not in the mood to care about Li Changheng's promise to Ivan, Hilde and Judd in the restaurant.
As long as the six figurines of maids are really Tang Sancai, or Liao and Song Sancai, the US$500,000 will be transferred directly to their foreign accounts.
Although the three-color female figurines are not the most expensive, children know that the unit price of a complete set is at least several layers more expensive than the price of individual antiques, or even double.
The reason why Li Changheng was more sure than Hilde that the three colors in his hand were real was because he had a good eye, and when he used a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see inside the pottery figurines, there were obvious fingerprints on them all.
This is also the most obvious and direct evidence for judging Sancai.
Of course, dating is not something he can determine by himself.
Leaving aside the fact that Li Changheng asked someone to directly transport the two landscape paintings and pottery figurines to Hong Kong Island by private jet and hand them over to Ruan Mei for appraisal.
Then according to the plan discussed with Aiwen and Hilde, let Ruan Mei ask the old man to come to the United States.
After hearing about the two subordinates, Fred was sure that Judd was only persuaded by Hilde within ten minutes, and bought the villa directly for 300,000 US dollars.
Seeing Li Changheng appearing in the restaurant with his own eyes and taking away the tricolor figurines, he suddenly felt that he had to force Aiwen and his wife.
It's a pity that Ivan, who has worked in the scam industry for more than ten years, didn't need Fred to force him to come directly to him.
And because I already knew about the existence of FB1 from Li Changheng, the meeting place for this meeting was no longer a random tavern controlled by the gray hand.
Instead, it went to Florida again.
In a beach hotel, Aiwen first made sure that Fred was not followed, and when the two met, he said anxiously.
"Mr. Fred, Prince Judd is basically obeying Hilde and me now, so I need your cooperation."
Fred was taken aback for a moment, and then he was suspicious in his heart, and at the same time became excited involuntarily because he was getting closer to the goal.
This time was the first time he was in charge of a project in a real sense, and it was no longer the same as before, the tasks were all related to fighting and killing.
So even though Fred is as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a devil, after listening to Ivan's words, he couldn't help asking happily, "What do you want?"
"To get Judd to think about investing in Atlantic City hotels alone, at least let him know that the casino's profits are bigger than he imagined.
As for how to let him see it, you need to be responsible for finding an underground casino, and then find some veterans to act together. "
Hearing that Aiwen said that the venue and people were all found by himself, Fred felt relieved immediately.
"Would Judd want to come to Florida?"
"It's simple." Ivan shrugged and said with a smile, "Those ancient antiques from the Celestial Dynasty that you showed me a while ago are not of high value.
But finding an old art store, or like New York, finding an old mansion where Chinese people lived, is still no problem to lure Judd to Florida. "
"Are you sure?"
Ivan shrugged, "I saw with my own eyes that when Judd faced Henry Lee, he almost treated him like a god.
Hundreds of antiques were placed in front of Judd. He would definitely find someone to identify and price them first, and then give them all to Henry Lee after he got off the horse. "
Fred frowned as soon as he heard it, but after a few seconds, he felt relieved and raised the corners of his mouth.
After Aiwen took away two landscape paintings last time, he found someone to identify the antiques from the Celestial Dynasty that the Manzoni family had received in the past ten years.
Just from the price point of view, it is indeed as Ai Wen said, most of the things are only a few hundred or a few thousand dollars each.
So even if there are more than 400 items, the total value in the eyes of the two white-skinned appraisers is at most about 500,000 US dollars.
500,000 is definitely a lot of money for ordinary people, but it doesn't matter for a gang.
So Fred felt that if he could sell it to Judd for $1 million, or even $600,000 or $700,000, he would not be losing money.
He even thought kindly that this price would not make Judd suspect that Ivan and Hill were cheating him together.
Without any surprise, the transaction of antiques went very smoothly.
Wait for Judd to bring the bodyguards increased to 8 people, and the old man Guan and Yuan Hua who accompanied the old man and acted as an interpreter.
In a small shop with an area of 140 square meters that used to be used to sell South American art, when he saw hundreds of antiques randomly placed by someone Fred found, Guan was so excited that he almost had a heart attack.
Because few people like Tianchao antiques, even fewer people actually collect them, so the overall price has always been low.
But if something worth hundreds or thousands of dollars is sent back to China, it is at least a good thing worth collecting.
After all, a few thousand dollars multiplied by 1.42 is almost thousands or even tens of thousands of RMB.
Not to mention, according to Europeans and Americans' views on Chinese antiques at this time, they actually have the same preference as Tang Sancai.
Many people never imagined that, apart from porcelain, Buddha statues are more popular among Europeans and Americans than porcelain at this time.
Old man Guan regretted that he didn't see a few porcelains and Buddha statues, but he still felt that these white skins were not stupid.
But when he glanced back and forth several times again, and started to look carefully, he was attracted by a colorless glass species, the Jade Rabbit, at the first sight.
When I took a closer look, I saw that the price was 270 US dollars, and it was sold at the same price as jadeite glass.
I really want to buy it immediately and treat it as a family heirloom.
