After Cai Wenhong and his party finished the appraisal, it was already seven o'clock, and Mr. Leng and the others left after staying here for more than an hour.
Because they are just here to appreciate it, there is no need to identify them one by one, and there is no need to wait for them to complete the assessment.
They all love antiques, but they don't want to collect all antiques. They just like to collect small objects, so they have no other ideas about bronze chimes.
Because Cai Wenhong and others were still there, Gu Ning couldn't leave, so he didn't invite Mr. Leng and others to dinner, saying that he would invite them next time if he had time.
Naturally, Mr. Leng and others won't mind.
After Cai Wenhong and others completed the appraisal, they were sure that these were real. As a result, they were even more excited.
"Miss Gu, why don't you sell this set of bronze chimes to the Palace Museum!" Cai Wenhong said. The Palace Museum naturally wants to collect such a bronze chime with a high collection value.
Not just the Palace Museum, no matter which museum it is, if they know about it, they will fight for it.
And it’s not just museums. There are also many people who want to collect it, such as music groups and extremely wealthy collectors. After all, this set will cost billions. Without money, it is impossible to buy it.
"Then how much does Dean Cai think this set of bronze chimes is worth?" Gu Ning did not answer the question. This meant that he was neither agreeing nor rejecting, which meant that Cai Wenhong had this opportunity.
Gu Ning took out this set of bronze chimes for the purpose of asking for money and selling "Xiangyunxuan", so as long as the price is in place, as long as "Xiangyunxuan" is sold, it doesn't matter who he sells it to.
When Cai Wenhong heard this, he immediately became excited: "In 19XX, two sets of bronze chimes were unearthed from a large tomb of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in a certain place, one set of 9 pieces and the other set of 7 pieces. They were auctioned for more than one billion. And. Now this is a complete set, with 9 sets, so it is at least more than 5 billion. Of course, if it is auctioned, the price will be higher, and it is not certain to 7 billion."
Many things are created through hype, but once it is hyped, its value is worth that.
"How much is Dean Cai willing to pay me to buy this bronze chime?" Gu Ning asked. As for how much, she already knew the price, but she just wanted to hear what Cai Wenhong meant.
"The bronze chime belongs to Miss Gu. The price should be set by Miss Gu." Cai Wenhong said, although he hoped that the price would be as low as possible, but after all, this is Gu Ning's thing, so it is naturally up to her to set the price.
Moreover, this bronze chime clock is worth at least 5 billion, and the auction may reach 7 billion, so it is naturally impossible for them to give Gu Ning only 5 billion. In this case, this is not an obvious idea to seduce Gu Ning.
What if Gu Ning is offended and Gu Ning simply refuses to sell it to them
"I am a businessman. I put out the bronze chimes for auction. Firstly, it is for money, so I will not let myself suffer. Secondly, for fame. I want to use the bronze chimes to launch "Xiangyunxuan", so , it is certain that it will be auctioned. But! Although I am interested in money, I am not greedy. Since Dean Cai said that this set of bronze chimes is worth at least 5 billion, and if it is auctioned, it may rise to 70 100 million, then, how about I give 500 million to Dean Cai? However, the bronze chimes will still be auctioned in the name of "Xiangyunxuan", and everyone will still bid. When the time comes, the Palace Museum can bid, no matter what the price is. , just take it. But whatever the final transaction amount is, I still want the five billion." Gu Ning said.
Cai Wenhong was stunned. What? Gu Ning only wants 5 billion
The other two experts were also surprised, and of course Chen Darong was surprised.
But this was Gu Ning's decision, and it was impossible for him to interfere.
Although Gu Ning did not suffer a loss based on the original valuation, for the auctions, Gu Ning suffered a huge loss. From 5 billion to 78 billion, that is a difference of more than 20 billion. ah!
But for Gu Ning, there is no such thing as a loss. After all, she got this bronze chime without spending a penny, so the five billion is a complete profit for her. Sometimes, people can't be too greedy and only have money in their eyes.
What she is doing now is regarded as selling a favor to Cai Wenhong. After all, she has a lot of antiques in her hands, and they all come from shady sources, so sooner or later she will be targeted.
Cai Wenhong is not only the director of the Palace Museum, but also the deputy director of the Cultural Relics Bureau. With Cai Wenhong's connections, she will not worry about being targeted in the future.
Of course, even without her favor, Cai Wenhong would not embarrass himself for the sake of the Leng family, but he still likes to rely on himself.
Moreover, she won't be more blatant or ostentatious because of this. She can't embarrass Cai Wenhong just because he owes her a favor!
"Miss Gu, are you telling the truth?" Cai Wenhong heard clearly, but he still couldn't help but ask uncertainly, because this was so shocking.
"Really," Gu Ning responded, "But Dean Cai also knows that in our line of work, it is inevitable that some items come from erroneous sources, so I hope that Dean Cai will take care of them."
"Haha! This is not a big problem. Even if it didn't happen, I would still be tight." Cai Wenhong said, feeling crazy with joy. He originally thought it would be impossible to win this bronze chime for 5 billion, but he didn't want to , Gu Ning took the initiative to bid 5 billion.
Although Gu Ning had a condition, relatively speaking, this condition was not considered a condition, because even if this matter had not happened, for the sake of the Leng family, he would have avoided Gu Ning's side.
"Okay, then Dean Cai will draw up a contract. After it's drawn up, let me know. I will go over and sign the contract when I have time, and then wait for the auction to end before the transaction is formalized." Gu Ning said.
"Okay" Cai Wenhong responded.
"Then it's getting late now. I've booked a private room at a hotel outside the community. Let's go have a meal together!" Gu Ning said.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Cai Wenhong did not refuse. After all, Gu Ning said it was decided. If he refused, it would make things difficult for the other party.
Of course, he won't really let Gu Ning treat him, he will just pay the bill when the time comes.
Gu Ning gave him a bronze chime at a low price. He owed Gu Ning a lot of favors! It's time to treat her to a meal.
When leaving the basement, Gu Ning was a few steps behind. After they all went out, Gu Ning put the bronze chimes into the space and then went out again.
When going there, Gu Ning called Gao Yi and Qiao Ya together, because they had been waiting outside and hadn't eaten yet.
