After studying for a while, the two appraisers raised their heads, looked at each other, and nodded.
Then one of them said: "Mr. Wu, based on our preliminary observation and judgment, your porcelain vase should be an authentic product from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It not only has the style characteristics of Yuan Dynasty porcelain, but At the same time, it has the characteristics of Ming Dynasty porcelain."
Hearing this, Wu Lei felt excited. He knew that as long as it was authenticated, it would be worth a lot, and he felt deeply attached to this piece. The value of the porcelain bottle has probably reached a bottom.
He suppressed the joy in his heart and asked calmly: "Well, I know all this. I had already carefully identified it when I purchased it. So, may I ask these two experts? What is the estimated value of this blue and white porcelain vase?"
Another appraiser took over and said, "Don't worry, although we both agree that this is an authentic product, in the end we still have it. A formal identification certificate needs to be issued through testing with professional equipment. If it is indeed authentic, the estimated value of your blue and white porcelain bottle will not be less than 30 million yuan. Of course, the specific auction price will depend on it. Due to factors such as market conditions and the willingness of buyers, it is impossible to say exactly how much it will cost.”
However, the price was lower than Wu Lei expected, which made him a little disappointed. fell into silence.
The auction house manager who was in charge of the negotiation quickly said: "Well...the specific valuation will have to wait until the test results come out, and this is not fixed."
"Well, what will happen if the auction fails?" Wu Lei asked immediately.
"If the auction fails, you can choose to sell it to our auction house according to our valuation. Of course, you can also pay one percent of the valuation to get your lot back." The salesperson replied.
"That means that if this 30 million yuan blue and white porcelain fails to be auctioned, I will have to pay 300,000 yuan to get it back?" Wu Lei secretly calculated the amount in his heart.
"Yes." The salesperson nodded.
Wu Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If the sale of blue and white porcelain worth 30 million yuan fails, I will have to pay 300,000 yuan. It's really easy for you to make money!"
He really felt that There was some doubt, but it was quickly dispelled. After all, this auction house is one of the best in Beijing, and it is definitely not a scam company. However, the fees they charge are indeed not low.
The salesman showed a professional smile and explained: "Organizing an auction requires a lot of upfront investment, so we must ensure profitability rather than operating at a loss.
But I firmly believe Your item will definitely become a popular item at the auction and will definitely not go unsold. If the auction is successful, we will charge a fee of 10%, including 2% income tax.
Of course, if unfortunately the auction fails and you are willing to sell the collection to our auction house, then there is no need to pay the 1% handling fee. ”
“Do you want to pay first?” " Wu Lei asked.
"How is this possible? We are not those frauds. All fees are due after the auction ends! "The salesman quickly explained.
After some thought, Wu Lei agreed: "Okay, you can conduct an appraisal first, but the base price of 30 million is a bit too low. We will wait until the appraisal is completed. Negotiate price. "
"No problem, please bring your baby and we will go to the identification center together and we will get the results soon. "The salesman replied with a smile.
Half an hour later, Wu Lei held the identification results in his hand and was surprised. He originally expected to wait for several days, but he did not expect it to be so fast.
The results were consistent with what the two appraisers said, confirming that it was a piece of blue and white porcelain from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.
Now, he could finally feel relieved. When I returned to the reception room again, the situation had changed. Not only were they provided with fine cigarettes and tea, but a beautiful lady was also the person negotiating with Wu Lei. The senior management of the auction house.
The two parties negotiated back and forth, and finally the auction house gave a satisfactory condition: an auction reserve price of 38 million, and the blue and white porcelain was kept for three months. The final treasure display of the subsequent auction.

Wu Lei was very satisfied with the price and signed the contract without hesitation. /p>
After leaving the auction house, Wu Lei sat in his car and slapped the steering wheel excitedly. If he sold it at the reserve price, he would earn at least 38 million yuan. After the auction, it might be more.
After his mood calmed down a bit, he took out his phone and said, "Hey, where are you? "
"At work! "
"Don't go up, take a day off and come out. I'll pick you up at your place in half an hour! "
"Okay! "
There was no hesitation on the other end of the phone.
I started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared out and stopped at the Fourth Son in less than half an hour. On the road outside the store.
Hao Meng walked over with a brisk pace, twisting her slender waist.
She asked softly after getting into the car. Said: "Why are you so anxious? You won't even let me go to class!" "
Wu Lei's face was filled with an excited smile, and he replied: "Brother, I made a big deal today and I am in a very happy mood, so I specially asked you to come out to celebrate! "
Hearing this, Hao Meng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile. He thought to himself, it's good to celebrate, so that he canto get more good stuff.
So she whispered: "Okay, shall we go to the hotel or my house?"
Wu Lei replied without hesitation: "Go to your house!"

As night falls, the street lights on both sides of the street light up one after another.
Wu Lei slowly walked down the stairs. When he looked back upstairs, he happened to see Hao Meng standing in front of the window waving to him. He raised his right hand and shook it gently to express his response. , then turned around and got into the car and left.
Looking at the car taillights fading away, Hao Meng sat on the sofa with a smile, picked up her phone, and her eyes shone with joy. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's right to celebrate."
...
On Li Bowen's side, after handing the things to Wu Lei, he no longer paid attention to the things in the space. Now that the situation is over, it will take some time to sell it. There is no use paying too much attention. Just wait a few days to see if the things you asked him to purchase have arrived.
The next day, Li Bowen got on his tricycle and walked to the countryside again. He still couldn't forget his job. Although he was promoted to deputy section chief, his work content remained unchanged.
I started out relatively early today. I could already see the village when the sun was just turning west. I put the cloth, cotton and food I had bought before in the carriage before riding in. village.
Arriving at the door of his house, he opened the door and pushed the car inside.
Chen Qiao was still the first to hear the noise. He walked out of the house and trotted to Li Bowen: "You brought so many things back."
"It's not just our family. Yes, I brought some to the foxes and the others, as well as the ones that the hunter asked me to bring. Let’s move them in first and send them to them tomorrow!”
