N-A-A Chapter 369
Chapter 369
Ten minutes later, the video conference was established.
Using two TVs and high-definition cameras in the apartment, Fang Yufei connected several experts in Beijing with the children of the Wu family in Seattle.
Several old men in Beijing are on one TV, and the children of the Wu family are on another, not interfering with each other.
They can see each other's pictures again, and they can also see the live pictures in the apartment, which can be completely open and transparent.
After everything was ready, Xiao Ran said to
Wu Tianyu: "Elder Wu, you can open this room now, let me see those antique relics and artworks stored in the room
" "Okay, Mr. Xiao"
Wu Tianyu nodded and replied.
Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward with the key and opened the closed room.
The door opened, and the situation in the room was immediately presented in front of Xiao Ran's eyes and on the two TVs.
The first thing Xiao Ran saw were two antique mahogany museum shelves, standing side by side on both sides of the door, reaching the wall directly opposite the door.
These two mahogany museum shelves are seven or eight stories high, very exquisitely designed, about six or seven meters long and about two meters high, which is an antique piece of furniture in itself.
On these two mahogany museum shelves, a wide variety of antique artifacts and works of art are placed.
Among them are bronzes, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, Buddha statues, rare books, stone carvings and jade, and other miscellaneous items.
On the ground between the two museum shelves, there are several elegant antique furniture, as well as some stone sculptures and so on.
Standing at the door, you can see a yellow flower pear strip case, two yellow flower pear chairs, and two red sandalwood four-way Nanguan hat chairs.
There are also four Buddha heads of various sizes on the ground, two Buddha statues, and a striking white porcelain statue of Shuiyue Guanyin.
On the wall directly opposite the door, there are several Chinese paintings and calligraphy works, each of which looks quite old and very beautiful.
Seeing this scene, whether it was Xiao Ran standing at the door of the room, or Shan Lao and Jin Lao who were far away in Beijing, they were all stunned.
Of course, Xiao Ran was performing, but his eyes were also full of ecstasy.
Several old men in Beijing were completely shocked.
They never expected that in such an ordinary room, there were so many national treasures hidden, and each one was so precious.
And this is just a gift left by Lu Qinzhai, a traitor, to his juniors when he left New York.
It can be seen from this that traitor and traitor who should have been cut by a thousand cuts had smuggled and sold many national treasures overseas!
Without waiting for everyone to wake up, Wu Tianyu, who was standing at the door, suddenly said:
"Mr. Xiao, what you are seeing now is only some of the antique
relics and works of art" "Behind these two mahogany museum shelves, there are some antique artworks
" "There are both bronzes and porcelain, and some stone carved cultural relics, because of their relatively large size, they can only be placed on the ground behind the museum shelves
" "And on the other walls of the room, There are also some paintings and calligraphy hanging "
With his words, Xiao Ran and Shan Lao all woke up.
The next moment, several old men exclaimed excitedly.
"Xiao Ran, have you seen
the Buddha heads and Buddha statues on the ground" "Judging from the style of the statues, these Buddha statues should come from Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes, they are priceless treasures" "Before liberation, Lu Qinzhai didn't know how many Buddha statues were smuggled out, causing great damage to Longmen Grottoes and Yungang Grottoes,"
Elder Shan said excitedly.
Before the words fell, Elder Jin's voice had already come.
"The two yellow flower pears placed in the middle aisle, as well as the white porcelain Shuiyue Guanyin statue, if they are genuine, must come from the Prince Gong Mansion in Beijing
" "Around 1947, Lu Qinzhai got these treasures out of Prince Gong's Mansion through some means of internal and external cooperation, and then smuggled them
out of the country" "After liberation, when the State Cultural Relics Department counted the cultural relics of Prince Gong's Mansion, it found out about this matter, but unfortunately it was too late
" "But who would have thought, These treasures are still there, what an eye! Listening
to the introductions of several old men, Xiao Ran's face suddenly burst into a bright smile.
Fang Yufei, who was also at the scene, as well as Wu Tianyu and his children, were shocked.
The difference is that the Wu family father and son are somewhat ashamed in addition to being shocked.
After all, they are the descendants of the traitor Wu Qizhou, and they have a certain relationship with the traitor Lu Qinzhai, can they not feel ashamed?
"Mr. Xiao, please, you first look at these things in the room, and then let's sit down and talk about the transaction,"
Wu Tianyu said, and Wu Tianyu made a gesture of invitation.
However, Xiao Ran shook his head slightly.
He first quickly scanned the situation in the room, and then turned his head to look at Wu Tianyu.
"Mr. Wu, about this transaction, I have a proposal, you may as well listen"
"I am ready to shoot all the antique relics and works of art in this room, you can also include this apartment, if you are willing to sell this apartment" "
The transaction method can be divided into two types, one is that I will give a total price now, let's trade immediately, simple and clear, but also very fast!"
"If I bid too much, I will bear the loss, and if you think I bid too low, you can refuse to trade
" "Ah!"
Wu Tianyu and his children exclaimed in unison, and they were instantly stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of intent flashed in their eyes.
They realized the benefits of this trading method in a blink of an eye, it is indeed simple and clear, and it can also be kept secret!
But they were also worried that Xiao Ran deliberately lowered the price, slaughtered fiercely, and suffered a dark loss!
Without waiting for them to respond, Xiao Ran continued:
"Another way of trading, I enter the room, identify and evaluate each item, and then give a total price and trade
" "Of course, if there are fakes or high imitations in the room, I will not buy them
" "If you use this trading method, you better invite a few experts in the appraisal of Chinese antique artworks to help you evaluate and appraise to be fair."
If you do this, you will have to pay a high appraisal fee, and you will no longer be able to keep this batch of Chinese antique artworks secret,"
the words fell, and the Wu family father and son were suddenly silent for a long time.
Jin Lao and Shan Lao, who were far away in Beijing, nodded gently, and their eyes were full of appreciation.
After Fang Yufei's translation, Elaine and David both figured out what Xiao Ran meant, and they all looked at him.
After pondering for a moment, Wu Tianyu's eldest son suddenly asked in a loud voice:
"Mr. Xiao, although our family has a lot of Chinese antique cultural relics and
artworks, we are not professionals", "I don't understand the value of these antique artworks at home, but I don't want to expose the existence of these things, that may not be a good thing" "I
want to hear what you said about the quotation of one shot, if the quotation is reasonable, we can talk about this deal"
Xiao Ran did not immediately give a response, but looked at Wu Tianyu to see what his reaction was.
This is the rightful lord of the transaction, not his son!
Wu Tianyu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I want to hear your offer for this batch of antique artworks
" "If I can, I hope to sell this apartment to you as well, that will save a lot of trouble
" "In that case, as soon as the transaction is completed, I can leave New York at any time"
Xiao Ran nodded lightly, and then gave a quotation.
"All the antique artifacts and works of art in this room
, I shot at the price of 120 million US dollars" "The price of your apartment is 10 million US dollars, I believe this is the top price of the same block house, only higher than the market price!"
"It adds up to 130 million US dollars, and all the taxes and fees generated by these two transactions will be borne by me, and you don't have to pay any taxes!"
"If you accept this condition, you will immediately get 130 million dollars in cash and avoid up to tens of millions of dollars in taxes" "If you
choose the second transaction method, the transaction will last for some time, and there are no these preferential conditions!"
"Ugh!"
Wu Tianyu and his children exclaimed again, both startled.
Immediately afterwards, the children of the Wu family who were far away in Seattle had a look of ecstasy on their faces, and they couldn't hide it at all.
Looking at Wu Tianyu again, he was stunned in place.
They never expected that these antique relics and artworks left by Lu Qinzhai to his family were actually so valuable!
One hundred and thirty million dollars, and no half a penny in taxes!
For them, this is undoubtedly a windfall fortune from heaven, an incomparably amazing huge fortune!
What they didn't expect was that Xiao Ran, who was ruthless in the center of the legend, was so generous!
Without seeing all the antique works of art in the room, you dare to offer such a sky-high price, is it because the money burns more?
How did they know that everything in this room had already been understood by Xiao Ran!
He knew the value of those antique artifacts and works of art in the room!
In this case, how could he do a loss-making transaction?
Fang Yufei and Elaine who were at the scene, as well as Shan Lao and Jin Lao who were far away in Beijing, were also taken aback by Xiao Ran's big hand!
But everyone did not speak up, but waited for the Wu family to make a decision.
After a moment of silence, Wu Tianyu trembled slightly and said
, "Mr. Xiao, the offer you gave is very tempting and heartwarming!"
"To be honest, I really didn't expect the value of these antique works of art to be so high!"
"But whether to accept this offer and trading conditions, I have to discuss with the children before I can make a decision,"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Of course it's no problem, you can discuss, I can wait a little longer"
Then, Wu Tianyu went to the side and called.
Xiao Ran stood at the door of the room, admiring with interest the many antique relics and works of art placed in the room.
