Chapter 553 Nine Clouds Ring(1/2)
ps: Continuous chapters, 6200 words!
Within five minutes, Xi Wuyu made the agreement. Just looking at the things written on the agreement, he still couldn't believe his eyes. He held 60 million, no, he didn't want 80 million, but in the end he only got less than 20 million. Is this true nature or really stupid?
But no matter what he thought, Li Yi had already signed his name on both agreements, and Qin Chuan just hesitated for a moment and then signed his name.
"Xiao Li, this matter is no longer something that can be expressed by a simple word Xie, so..."
Qin Chuan no longer called him little brother, and his tone was much more solemn than before.
"This piano is well kept. I should be able to play it when I take it back and change it to a pair of strings. So, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there are a few friends who are coming here, and you will also come here together. I will play a song for you specifically!"
After saying that, he took out a business card with his name and phone number written on it, solemnly wrote the address on it, and handed it to Li Yi.
"At 10 a.m., I'm waiting for you to get two of you at home!"
After putting away the business card, putting the two packaged antiques in their backpack and hugging them in their arms, Li Yi asked the old man for some knowledge about the guqin, and then took Ma Weizhong to leave.
"I made a lot of money, 5 million, but it turned into 20 million in a blink of an eye..."
Ma Weizhong shook his head slightly. He thought Li Yi shouldn't have chosen the "Zhaoyin Picture", but even so, this guy was not cheap at all with these two pieces, not to mention that the backpack contained six Song-engraved books, and they were all Shu versions!
"Make money! You'll lose a lot!"
Li Yi's face showed a painful look. You didn't look at it just now. Even if I took all the five pieces, he wouldn't say much. Now, tens of millions of dollars have a chance to listen to a song. This good person is really not able to do it!
"Come on, you should pay attention to everything. And I don't think that old man seems to be an ordinary person. Maybe there's a big advantage behind!"
Not an ordinary person? Li Yi raised his eyebrows. A master of guqin playing can at most add two famous words to the front. What other advantages can he take?
"Look, look, I'm just saying it's not ordinary. Qin Chuan, the recipient of the national special allowance, once held a special solo concert in Vienna **********. He is the leading famous guqin player in China, musician, professor of the China Conservatory of Music, and doctoral supervisor... I'm so awesome!"
So powerful? But no matter how powerful he is, it seems to have nothing to do with him...
"Let's go, there are many good things in this market. Hurry up and take the time to see a few more companies and try to make up for the losses!"
When the two returned to the street stall area, the news that Li Yi had just spent 5 million to buy a guqin. Fortunately, he was careful and did not continue to look down from the near where the guqin was just bought, but chose to start from the other end. So although he could hear the sound of discussing the transaction everywhere, he was not disturbed.
But obviously, even if you start from a new area, not all the bosses don't know him.
"Brother, I also have a rare object here, which is not worse than that guqin. I wonder if you are interested?"
Li Yi had just put down a Qingtian stone sculpture on his hand and was about to get up and leave when the boss suddenly called him.
"Oh? What?"
"How about the 19-year-old antique Leica camera? Are you interested?"
Leica Li Yi's heart suddenly jumped. During his 2019 years in Bordeaux, he had carefully studied Western antiques, including antique cameras.
There are many brands of antique cameras in Europe and the United States. They can be bought with cheap prices for a few hundred euros, but expensive ones are possible for hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros.
Among them, the Leica series cameras, native to Germany and have a history of hundreds of years, are even more popular among antique camera collectors. They are not only known as the myth in cameras, but also known as the "Rolls-Royce in the Camera Kingdom".
One of the big reasons why Rolls-Royce can be remembered is that it is small and expensive, and the same is true for Leica. Moreover, when it comes to Leica cameras that were factory in 2019, it mostly refers to a batch of special existences produced that year. Today, each of those batches of cameras is sky-high.
This batch of special existence is Leica Null-Seep E. This model of camera has produced 25 as a test engineering machine in 2019. After nearly a hundred years of history, there are only 12 that have survived. As early as 2012, it was sold at a sky-high price of 2.6 million euros. If estimated based on its previous price increase, the price on the surface should be close to 4 million euros today!
Even if you don’t buy a camera with 30 million soft girl coins, it’s good to see it!
"What about stuff? What model?"
"Leica null-color day e, number 116, absolutely real guy!"
The boss stood up as he spoke.
"The things are in the store. If you buy them, you can check them first."
He turned around and asked the stall owner next to him to help him take care of the business. The boss took Li Yi to the store area next to the square.
"On weekends, the business in the square is better than that in the shops, so many stores have stalls here..."
While explaining, the boss led Li Yi and the others into a shop with an area of about 50 square meters and mainly engaged in returning cultural relics.
"You two can take a look first, I'll get the camera now."
Li Yi nodded, signaled the boss to take care of himself, then slowly walked to a shelf with dozens of antique cameras, and looked up and down.
After a rough look, Li Yi found that the brands of these cameras are very diverse, including domestic Happiness, Seagull, Red Plum, Oriental, German Lulai, American Kodak and other brands. However, since they can be placed outside, they should not be too precious.
After thinking for a while, he simply turned on the soul-tapping card and touched it one by one. At this time, Ma Weizhong, who was doing nothing, also walked to him, picked up an old-fashioned camera, came to his eyes and looked at it twice, and suddenly said with a smile:
"This camera is interesting. It's the same brand as the car. I don't know which year it was..."
“What brand?”
"Dongfeng Heavy Truck, haha, from Second Automobile!"
"East wind?"
Li Yi raised his eyebrows, took the camera from his hand, glanced at it a few times, and smiled:
"Don't underestimate this camera. This one is enough to replace a Mercedes-Benz."
"Switch to Mercedes-Benz? Not kidding?"
Ma Weizhong was shocked, you said ancient porcelain and ancient jade are expensive, but this thing has only been a few decades of history. It can be replaced by Mercedes-Benz. I have little study, so don’t lie to me!
"What do you do to lie to you? Dongfeng Camera is a brand in the 1970s. It is designed based on the Swedish Hasselblad camera. It is fully handmade and has extremely high production and development costs. There should be no more than one hundred units in existence now. This one is pretty good, and it is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"this……"
Seeing Ma Weizhong's stunned look, Li Yi smiled and decided to give him a vaccination first, otherwise he would be afraid that he would faint from the Leica Null-Sex E movie.
"No collection cannot be underestimated. Just like a world-famous painting can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, and an ancient porcelain can be sold for hundreds of millions of soft girls. There are also very expensive antique cameras, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are nothing. If the one the boss takes out later is the real product, then the price..."
"How many millions?"
Ma Weizhong was a little nervous.
"Two or three million."
"I'll go! Are you sure you're not talking about Vietnamese Dong?"
Ma Weizhong gasped, which completely subverted his values!
Li Yi shook his head slightly. If that Leica Null-Seep E is really genuine, it would be a big deal if it is sold at this price!
"Oh, I've really learned this trip with you. Damn, there are tens of millions of cameras. I can only say that this world was ruined by you rich people..."
Li Yi laughed twice, and saw that the boss had walked out of the room behind the counter, so he walked back to the small round table in the negotiation area and picked up the camera.
This camera is indeed a Leica null-colored day, and it is well preserved. Not only is the parts not defective, but there is no damage to the skin on the body.
"Boss, how do you sell this one?"
"Since I can recognize this camera, I should have known its price. I won't say it's fake. It's 26 million yuan. If you get this price in Europe, you can earn at least one million after deducting the commission."
Make more than one million? I can make so much, but I am afraid that you will go to shoot yourself, and you will still wait for me to get a discount?
Li Yi shook his head. Such an expensive antique camera, not to mention it in China, even if it is not promoted properly and encounters the wrong person, it still cannot be sold at the price!
"Boss, you should understand that in this industry, the auction price does not represent the real value of a thing in many cases. There are too many accidental factors here. In this way, I will not take advantage of you. If you can sell it for 15 million, I will take it. If you can sell it for 15 million, I will take it. If there is more..."
He shook his head and put the camera back on the table.
"15 million? Brother, you really want to buy it at this price."
Li Yi didn't say anything, just looked at the boss with a smile. It didn't matter whether he bought this camera or not, but if he could really get it for a price less than 18 million, he should still be able to gain some advantage.
However, this cheapness does not mean that he is sure to be auctioned for more than 18 million yuan, but that he thought of the two cultural relics exchanges he had done in Europe before.
Although there are not many things he can use to exchange at present, if he really lets out the news, he believes that it should be able to attract several or even a dozen international collectors. By that time, this camera should have a place to use it.
"In this way, I won't say 26 million, don't say 1500, let's all get together in the middle. Look, how about 24 million?"
Li Yi continued not to speak, but just shook his head slightly.
The two of them had been in a stalemate for about 3 minutes, and the boss bit his teeth.
"16 million! If you can, just go to another house to take a look. If it is lower than this price, I will lose money!"
Ten minutes later, Li Yi and the others walked out of the store. His bag not only contained the Leica null-colored Rises, but also the Dongfeng camera that Ma Weizhong had just seen. This one was taken as a gift by Li Yi and snatched it from the boss.
"I bought this broken thing for 16 million... The world of rich people is indeed not something that we can understand, alas..."
When Ma Weizhong saw Li Yi's face indifferent expression, as if the 16 million just now was not money at all. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Why is the gap between people so big?"
"Haha, this is a good luck, just for you to see. In fact, there are so few things like this expensive on the market that are not enough to describe..."
As Li Yi was talking, a figure suddenly emerged from the shade on one side, blocking their way.
This is a young man in his twenties, wearing a very ordinary blue T-shirt, holding a long velvet bag in his arms, and his face was very complicated, a little excited, a little nervous, and a little hesitant.
"Sir, do you still buy a guqin?"
"Guqin?"
Li Yi frowned and glanced at the things he was holding in his arms.
"What you are holding is also a guqin?"
"Well, the guqin I passed down from was definitely not sold, but now I'm waiting for money to help me, there's no way..."
Li Yi shook his head helplessly. The news about the market was spreading too quickly. He just spent 5 million to buy a guqin. As a result, all the monsters and monsters came to him. Do they really use him as a gold mine?
