Treasure Hunt America

Chapter 1098: Willing to win

? It's too late to taste it carefully, but four words have flashed in Chris' mind: It's a worthwhile trip.

He was blackmailed by this shopkeeper for 200,000 yuan before, for what kind of VIP card, he was still sulking in his stomach at that time, thinking that the other party was completely extorting, it was just to add to himself and make him feel sick, but now he is looking at such a few treasures After that, he didn't think so at all.

It seems that Harry really did not fool himself, this antique shop is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and there are really a lot of treasures!

Let's not talk about the furniture made of petrified wood and the tea set that he didn't know where he came from, let's just say that the two clocks that he saw now are so gorgeous that it is impossible to describe them in words.

Chris looked at the two clocks and didn't know what to say, and his sloppy brother Martin was stunned when he looked at the two clocks and couldn't speak at all.

Speaking of antiques, the artistic aesthetics of the East and the West are naturally different.

, for example, some utensils, they prefer the kind of exquisite workmanship, many craftsmanship, and real knives and real guns inlaid with various gems on the utensils, using a lot of gold to make treasures.

In their opinion, such a treasure is more artistic and valuable. After all, it is made of real gold and silver. This material alone is already valuable. If you add various exquisite productions Craftsmanship, and some painted patterns, and then can have the addition of historical allusions of celebrities of all dynasties, then such a baby is perfect.

And now these two clocks, in the eyes of Chris, are already close to the perfect stage, needless to say the material, using a lot of gold as the matrix, and then inlaid with a lot of gems, and finally there are those exquisite Enamel filigree.

In addition, there is no need to choose this craft. The color painting is vivid, especially on these two clocks full of Western style, the painted pattern is actually the kind of color painting full of oriental art style, which is very rare. A masterpiece of fusion of Eastern and Western art.

This alone is enough to make people fall in love with such a treasure. Chris thought about it. As long as these two clocks are brought to the world, let alone the most important historical celebrities, the bonus of allusions, Even the materials and craftsmanship of these two clocks are enough to drive many collectors in the Western art world crazy, and there will definitely be people who are willing to spend a lot of money for such treasures.

What about adding historical allusions? Just looking at the bright golden shape of the clock and the application of most of the bright yellow paint, Chris has already concluded that this must be an ancient Chinese royal object.

He knew that in the history of China, the color of bright yellow was a color that only the royal family could use. Other ministers or nobles were absolutely not allowed to use such a color. As for the common people, let alone the common people. Well, if they used such a color, they would lose their heads.

So this kind of treasure was used by the emperor of China?

"Well, Mr. Jin, take the liberty to ask, what is the origin of these two clocks?"

Chris and Martin surrounded the two clocks for a long time inside and out, but in the end they were still undecided, so they raised their heads and asked Jin Muchen.

When the two of them circled around the clock, Jin Muchen kept silent and stood aside. Of course, these two clocks were the first two grand clocks for Qianlong's imperial use that he had collected.

One of them was won from the Song family when he was fighting treasures with the Song family in the capital, and the other one was collected by him in Jade Bird City. After receiving these two clocks, he also liked them very much, and kept them on them. Home, when the treasure of the town shop.

When he opened the store, he used to show the two clocks when he was entertaining guests. Later, for safety reasons, he moved it upstairs. Later, because robbers broke in. Once at home, he locked these two clocks in the basement, and usually didn't take them out easily for people to see.

Since the two Furell brothers have spent two hundred thousand dollars today, I will show them to them. As for the rest...hehe...

And the two Furier brothers, looking at this clock, looked like Harazi was about to stay, which also made Jin Muchen very satisfied. After all, he has a lot of treasures in his collection, so it's not like that it is always kept in the basement, okay Of course, you have to take it out for people to see.

If it is a friend to come, it is to learn from each other, but if it is a person like the Furrell brothers, hehe, that is the meaning of Chi Guoguo's show.

And these two clocks are also really appetizing to these Westerners. As soon as these two Forrell brothers saw such clocks, they immediately froze and were stunned. Jin Muchen felt very satisfied.

"Well, what about these two clocks? In fact, they are the imperial supplies of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and they are also the royal collection of the Qing Palace. I also worked hard to get these two clocks into my hands."

Jin Muchen just said the origins of these two clocks in an understatement. After all, there is no need to introduce too much detail in this regard, just let them know that they are the treasures of the Qing Dynasty in China.

As soon as the Furrell brothers heard it, they were suddenly enlightened. As a family who played Chinese antiques, they have received education in history since childhood. They are not only very familiar with the history of the West, but also China and East Asia. They are also very familiar with the history.

Especially the history of the Qing Dynasty, they are familiar with it and can't be familiar with it anymore. After all, the end of which dynasty is the paradise for Westerners, the founder of their family, it was not because of the weakness of the Qing Dynasty that they could go from that time to the past. Has China spared so many good things?

Therefore, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were actually very familiar with them, and the Emperor Qianlong was the most important thing they knew. Back then, their father even hired a historical expert from China to tell them about it. the life of the emperor.

However, the main explanation is of course not the emperor's civil and martial arts, but the emperor's life hobbies, because in the antique circle of ancient and modern China and abroad, there is such a concept, that is the emperor, in fact, is the greatest in history. An antique player, not only has taste, but also people's collections are really shocking and eye-catching.

Therefore, the Freer brothers, of course, also knew that this ancient Chinese emperor not only liked China's own cultural relics, but was also the first emperor to contact Western culture, and he also liked some Western artifacts very much.

For example, the Twelve Water Techniques in the Yuanmingyuan in those days were made by him specially looking for Western designers and engravers, and he himself really liked things like Western clocks and clocks, and he also collected a lot.

So Jin Muchen said which emperor played the two clocks before, they believed, and they believed very much.

Now that there is the emperor's bonus, these two clocks are even more valuable. Originally, these two clocks were the type that Western collectors liked. Now there is such a historical celebrity, who will consecrate them. It's even more amazing.

Chris pondered that if he brought these two clocks back to the Freer and Sackler Art Museum, it would definitely cause a sensation. At that time, as long as such treasures were lent to the art museum for display, then the The position of the future curator is definitely his own. Who would dare to make irresponsible remarks then?

Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart, and then he asked Jin Muchen: "Mr. Jin, how much do you plan to ask for these two clocks?"

"Well? Mr. Furrell, what do you mean?"

"Oh, this is Mr. Jin. I like these two clocks very much, so I want to buy them from you, so I ask you, at what price are you willing to sell these two clocks?"

This Chris. Furrell asked confidently at this time, he firmly believed that as long as the other party spoke, there would be no price that he could not afford.

At this time, Jin Muchen first pretended to be stunned, and then looked at Chris with contempt and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, Mr. Furrell, do you think I'm the kind of person who lacks money? These two The desk clock is a treasure that I also like very much, so I didn't plan to sell it at all."

Chris had long expected that Jin Muchen would say this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and in his opinion, the reason why Jin Muchen would say this was just to put on a pretense, that tone, and the ultimate purpose was to hope that he could The price was just a little higher for him.

"Twenty-five million for one, and two for a total of $50 million. What do you think? And you can choose any payment method, cash or transfer."

Chris confidently quoted a price. Although he had never bought such a clock before, he had handled a lot of treasures from the Qianlong period.

For the treasures of the Qianlong period, he probably had a price in mind. The two clocks in front of him, although the workmanship is exquisite and the material is no problem, but according to the normal laws of the market, even if it is auctioned, it is two thousand to Something in the $25 million price range.

No matter how high the price is, someone must have raised the price maliciously, so he directly made an offer of 50 million US dollars to show his sincerity and his determination to win these two clocks.

Jin Muchen was stunned when he heard this guy's offer, this guy's stock price is really accurate. (To be continued.)
