Chapter 657

Chuchen said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, let's go and have a look at the cupboards you said."

"OK..."

To be honest, Ma laocai really doesn't want to sell things to chuchen, but mingmazi has come out. If he says not to sell things to chuchen now, his family will probably have no peace in the future. He doesn't want to offend mingmazi.

"Ah! It's not sold to anyone. There are not many people who have the strength to buy such a large piece. Forget it, just sell it to him, but the price is.... "

Ma laocai thought as he took Chu Chen and others to the innermost part of the room. Chu Chen saw that there was a thing covered with coarse cloth in front of him. The shape should be the cabinet Ma laocai said.

Ma Xiaoqiang lifted the cloth, and the cabinet immediately came into our eyes. The exquisite sculptors, even director Jin and Ming Mazi, who were not familiar with the art, could not help but exclaim.

Seeing everyone's expression, Ma laocai was very satisfied, but then he felt a little reluctant. If it hadn't been for the family's troubles, he would not have wanted to sell the cupboard. Judging from the current market, the value of the cupboard would have been higher in a few years.

From this, we can see that Ma laocai's vision is actually very good, but his character is too bad. If he could not be so selfish, he would not be like now.

"Chu Shao, have a look first!"

Chu Chen nodded, then picked up the tool and began to observe carefully.

This pair of large cabinets are actually top boxes with huge shapes and phoenix patterns carved on the front.

Pair top cabinet can be divided into four parts, also known as four cabinet. This kind of furniture appeared late in Ming style furniture and developed rapidly after entering Qing Dynasty. The top box cabinet is composed of top cabinet and bottom cabinet, which can be a pair of combined discharge or split into left and right. Four cabinet square dignified, can decorate a wall.

This cabinet is embossed and decorated with 20 phoenixes in the form of facing phoenixes. This kind of decoration is very rare on the furniture in the early Qing Dynasty. The carving is skilled, the ground is very flat, and the flowers and Phoenix are vivid. The pattern is symmetrical, which is a typical pattern in the early Qing Dynasty.

This cabinet has a large amount of construction and spars no cost. Due to the huge shape of the cabinet, it is difficult to move, so the partition board, door and back plate in the cabinet are in the form of movable plug, which is very easy to disassemble. Both sides of the cabinet adopt the method of dropping the chamber and stepping on the drum, which echoes with the front.

The most valuable thing is that the materials used for the top cabinets are all Huanghua Pears, which are exquisite in material selection and spare no effort in cost. Besides, the skilled sculptors can be affirmed by Chu Chen that they were used by the court in the early Qing Dynasty, which can be said to be rare in the world.

Putting away the tools, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Ma, it's not just the price. How do you say that?"

"Five million!" Ma laocai stretched out his right hand.

It's also the most popular Huanghua pear in the market. It's also used by the court in the early Qing Dynasty. The price is certainly not cheap, but Ma laocai's price of five million is too high.

Chuchen laughs: "Ming people don't talk in secret. They used to take pictures of a pair of similar cabinets, but they did. I don't think this pair of cabinets is better than that pair. Five million is too high. Two million is almost the same."

Ma laocai also said with a smile: "Chu Shao, you can't say that. Now the market of antiques is not the same as before. It's not uncommon for some good things to go up two or three times over the past few years. Five million is really not expensive. Of course, we're once born and twice cooked. Let's say that, I'll give you 500000. What do you think?"

Ma laocai actually has a point in saying that. In fact, the price of huanghuali furniture began to rise only after 2000. In the past, unless it was a particularly good thing, it was not comparable with the current price.

Some families have huanghuali furniture, but they don't know how to do it. When they move, they feel troublesome and throw it away. In the current market, it's all money thrown away.

Although the market is good now, five million Chu Chen will not agree. His psychological price should be between 2.8 million and 3.2 million.

Chu Chen shook his head: "too high, 2.4 million!"

"4.2 million!"

“……”

"At least, I'll give you 3.3 million yuan, and I won't sell it at the end of the day!" Ma laocai said firmly.

Chu Chen pondered for a while, then said: "three million, if you agree, I'll take it. If it's too much, it's OK!"

To tell you the truth, if such a cabinet is put on the auction, the current price is likely to exceed 3 million, but ordinary business can't be like the price of the auction, so 3 million is very reasonable.

Of course, Ma laocai also knew that he had made a fortune of three million yuan, but he still made Chu Chen add tens of thousands more with a bitter face. Seeing that Chu Chen refused, he was unwilling to agree.

Then, the two sides talked about the price of the pen container just now. Although there has been more than three million transactions, Ma laocai still bit the price very hard. The pen container with a market price of 30000 was the lowest price he would agree to be 29000.

You know, the market price of antiques can only be used as a reference. Generally, unless it is a particularly good thing, there is always a discount. In fact, twenty-nine thousand is already the price of the antique shop, but the antique shop has to pay for the rent. If it doesn't include the rent, it certainly won't be so much.It is precisely because Ma laocai's goods are expensive to sell, so he has sold less than half of them in a few months.

When Chu Chen saw that Ma laocai was biting the price so hard, he didn't want to buy it. However, the penholder was really good. In addition, he found a leak in Ma laocai today, so he finally agreed to buy it.

Seeing that the price had been negotiated, mingmazi made a phone call and then said, "Chu Shao, I've already called someone, and they'll come to help you move the box out in a moment."

Over there, director Jin also finished the phone call, went to Chu Chen and said with a smile, "Chu Shao, I have contacted the car and sent things to the capital to ensure safety and speed."

"Yes, please." Chuchen said with a smile.

"No trouble! No trouble... "

"Mr. Ma, let's sign an agreement now. Do you want a check or transfer?" Chu Chen asked.

Ma laocai replied: "otherwise, you'd better go to the bank to transfer money."

Hearing this, mingmazi said impolitely: "you Ma laocai, are you afraid that Chu Shao will rely on your money?"

"Don't say that, mingmazi. It's the first trade after all. It's normal to be cautious." Chuchen said with a smile.

Ma laocai laughs and thinks that no matter for the first time or such a person with great influence in the history of calligraphy and painting, who doesn't want to own his works?

However, after a while, Chu Chen pressed down the excitement in his heart, not because he didn't want it, but because it belonged to Ma laocai. Who knows if his things are real? Don't be happy again.

In addition, Ma laocai is too greedy. If it's a genuine work, he will be killed by Ma laocai.

"Mr. Ma, in that case, can you show me your works?"

Ma laocai thought that Chu Chen was very interested. Unexpectedly, he saw a flash of surprise and excitement in Chu Chen's eyes, and then he calmed down. This made him feel very strange. He said in secret:

"doesn't this boy want Zhao Mengfu's things? Or is he short of money? "

Although it's not clear what chuchen thought, Ma laocai said: "that painting is quite long. Let's go to the living room. It's more spacious."

Chuchen nodded with a smile and said, "OK, but we'd better wait until we sign the agreement and move things out. We'll come in again. Don't you think so?"
