Fang Yongyuan was speechless, Zuo Gao calculated the number very reasonable, and there is no way to refute it. This is the crux of the problem.
"The price is a bit too high."
Fang Yongyuan finally shook his head. It was very painful for him to take out so much money. You must know that this Buddha statue itself was flowed out of his own antique shop. Now he has to buy it back and he has to get more. Money, the sum earned a few years ago has to be spit out.
"Old man Fang, you are not the only wise man in this world."
"Li Feng and Ke Yongliang offered a price of 20 million yuan. In fact, they have a clear calculation in their hearts. This is just waiting for you to bargain. If you don't put out 15 million or 16 million, things will definitely not be that simple this time. It's over."
"Will you be willing to spend the money to buy this Buddha statue? That is your own business, and you have to think about it."
"Old man Cao and I certainly have a certain amount of face in the antique collection circle, but this kind of face is not good for today's matter. If it is tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, It is possible to save a lot of face and save a lot, but the key to the problem is that the amount of money involved in your matter today is relatively large, and more importantly, there are years of old grievances. This is the most deadly place. Cao and I It’s not convenient for the old man to talk too much."
After Zuo Gao said this, he didn't speak again. In today's matter, he and Cao Zhonghe can intervene, but it is hard to say how much it can play. It is not just a question of money.
The look on Fang Yongyuan’s face is uncertain. He is very clear that Zuo Gao’s words are not wrong at all. Unless he does not buy the Buddha statue, it is impossible to avoid bleeding. Li Feng and Ke Yongliang clearly want to use this If you have a chance to cut yourself severely without spitting it out, you will never let go. If it's just an ordinary antique, or something else, simply ignore it, but the problem is this time. The impact is really serious.
Cao Zhonghe was drinking his tea. He did not speak. Zuo Gao had already said all the things he could say. There is not much room for him and Zuo Gao to play a role in this matter. How to deal with this matter in the end? The choice, whether or not to pay so much money, is all Fang Yongyuan's business.
"Ok!"
"15 million, no more than 16 million at most. If it exceeds this price, I simply won't do this, at most, I will shoot two things."
After thinking about it for half an hour, Fang Yongyuan finally spoke and nodded in agreement with such a price. In fact, he had no other choice at all. If he did not buy this Buddha statue, it would not take much time. Song Yun learned from his antiques. Leaking things in the shop will spread throughout the antique market. The invisible damage is really big, and it is not something you can bear. For an antique shop, for the owner of an antique shop, the ability to identify is His golden signboard. If this signboard is hit, everything will be affected. The simplest and most direct example is that, by virtue of his own name, some high imitation antiques can be sold as real antiques. The buyer will not be particularly serious about the identification, but if the news that your antique shop is leaked by others is spread, anyone who comes to buy antiques instinctively will be a little cautious, and the probability of discovering that high imitations are fake antiques will invisibly increase. To an unacceptable level, wanting to make money or wanting to make money as easily as before will become very difficult. In comparison, although there was indeed a big blood this time, it is in line with long-term interests. The comparison is undoubtedly very cost-effective.
When Zuo Gao and Cao Zhonghe heard Fang Yongyuan finally let go, the expressions on their faces suddenly relaxed. If there is no way to solve this matter today, the impact on Fang Yongyuan will of course be tremendous, and it will be the same for both of them. It has a small impact, it can be resolved now, and it is a good thing for anyone to suppress this matter.
"Old man Fang, when you settle the accounts, you can’t just think about what you paid 15 million or 16 million. Don’t forget that after you paid the money, you got back a Buddha statue. The price of this Buddha statue in the market is right here. 10 million or so. In other words, you will lose only 5 million or 6 million in the end. Even if you put this Buddha statue in your hand and wait for three or two or three years, or find a very suitable one If you are a buyer, 12 million or even 13 million is possible, so the money you really lose is not that much."
Cao Zhonghe recalculated an account.
After Fang Yongyuan listened to it, the expression on his face finally became a little better. It is true. Although he paid 15 million or 16 million, the money was not vainly spent and took back a Buddha statue. As long as a Buddha statue works better, 10 million or even 12 million is possible. The other millions are the money earned from the antique sold a few years ago. You have to know that antique itself. It was a business grabbed from Li Feng and Ke Yongliang, and he made a full 5 million. In fact, in this sense, he did not have any losses, at least he was definitely a tie.
"Left old man, Cao old man, 15 million can never exceed 16 million. If Li Feng and Ke Yongliang continue to speak loudly, then I will no longer agree to this matter."
Fang Yongyuan gritted his teeth and recalculated the account. He felt that if this matter could really be solved at this price, it would actually be acceptable.
Zuo Gao and Cao Zhonghe were not particularly happy when they heard Fang Yongyuan say this, because it is actually very simple, that is, Fang Yongyuan is only willing to pay a maximum of 16 million yuan. If Li Feng and Ke Yongliang disagree, they must ask for two. Solve it personally, or come out to persuade Li Feng and Ke Yongliang.
The faces of Zuo Gao and Cao Zhonghe both became a little ugly. Although the two were friends for many years, the matter itself had nothing to do with the two of them. To put it bluntly, it was just to help, but now Fang Yongyuan’s words clearly meant that they felt Helping becomes an obligation.
Fang Yongyuan immediately noticed that the expressions on Zuo Gao and Cao Zhonghe's faces were not particularly opposing, and in a blink of an eye he figured out what was going on, knowing that what he said just now was a bit inappropriate.
"Old man Zuo, old man Cao, you know what I mean by nothing."
Fang Yongyuan immediately remedyed that what he said just now was indeed very wrong. Anyway, Zuo Gao and Cao Zhonghe were really just helping, and they were helping themselves with the old face, so they spoke clearly. Just don't put others in the eye, or feel that you are superior.
