After the divorce, I started to transfer

In addition to the oracle bone inscription on the deer skull, another oracle bone inscription on a cow scapula also attracted Chen Feng quite a bit.

So Chen Feng pulled Tong Yongkang to the cow scapula and asked him to explain to him the general content recorded on it.

This time Tong Yongkang gave the answer very quickly. What was recorded above was about hunting, which was a divination of the good or bad fortune of this hunt.

According to Tong Yongkang, a complete oracle bone inscription has four parts: narrative, destiny, divination and verification. When? Who? What question to ask? What is the result of the divination? Finally, after the task is completed, a verification is engraved to verify the result of the task.

Unfortunately, the oracle bone script on this piece of cow scapula is incomplete, recording only about one-third of the content. The narrative is missing, and the destiny and divination are not very complete, and there is no verification word.

But even so, Chen Feng could still feel the enormous energy contained within it.

Although it is not the oracle bone script similar to the deer skull that Chen Feng wants most, there is no doubt that if he can get it, Chen Feng will be happy for a long time.

Apart from these two pieces, not every piece of oracle bone contains energy.

Chen Feng looked at the display cabinets one by one and roughly counted that there were about 120 to 130 pieces of oracle bones here, but at least half of them did not contain any energy.

I don’t know whether these oracle bones without energy are fake or whether their original energy has been lost for some unknown reason.

Except for the two pieces that had attracted Chen Feng the most attention before, the energy contained in the rest was less than that of the four pieces of oracle bones he had in his hand before.

But even so, it is much better than the art works Chen Feng had collected before.

The one with the lowest energy content should be enough for him to absorb for ten days or half a month.

Therefore, if he could get all the usable oracle bones here, he wouldn't have to worry for at least several years in the future.

After looking over every piece of oracle bone script in the display cabinets, Chen Feng looked directly at Tang Xingfa and said, "Mr. Tang, I'm quite interested in the oracle bones you have here. Do you think you can part with them? The price is negotiable."

Tang Xingfa looked at Chen Feng with a little surprise.

When Hu Shilong introduced Chen Feng before, he only said that Chen Feng was the boss of Fengmang Film and Television Company, and that he had produced hit dramas such as "Qing Yu'an" and "Flying Flowers".

Unfortunately, the old man has no impression of these two ancient costume dramas and is not very interested in them.

Therefore, in Tang Xingfa's opinion, Chen Feng was probably just an ordinary friend of Hu Shilong, who came here to join in the fun.

He didn't expect that Chen Feng would want to buy his collection right away.

Tang Xingfa looked at Hu Shilong, telling him with his eyes what was going on.

Hu Shilong immediately said with a smile: "My friend is very interested in oracle bones. This time I brought him here specifically to see the oracle bones. If you are willing to give him some, it would be the best."

The meaning of his words was quite clear. Chen Feng was a friend he valued very much, and he hoped that Mr. Tang would give him some face.

After hearing this, Tang Xingfa hesitated for a while before saying, "Well, for Shilong's sake, I will sell you two pieces. However, you have to exclude the oracle bone inscription on the deer skull and the oracle bone inscription on the cow shoulder blade. You can pick any of the others."

Although Chen Feng was somewhat disappointed when he heard him say that he was selling two pieces, he could still accept it reluctantly because among all the oracle bones here, those two pieces were the ones he valued the most.

As a result, Tang Xingfa changed the subject and said that apart from these two pieces of oracle bones, Chen Feng was immediately very disappointed.

At this time, the divine fortune teller Ji Hongsheng immediately said, "Brother Tang, you can't do this. Why do you want to buy these two pieces? Mr. Chen came here with great sincerity to buy, and he said the price is negotiable. It's not good for you to turn him away like this."

When Tang Xingfa saw that Ji Hongsheng actually stood up for Chen Feng and politely called Chen Feng "Sir", he immediately realized that Chen Feng should be more than just the boss of a film and television company.

At the same time, he also noticed that Hu Shilong's expression looked a little bad.

This is understandable. Before Hu Shilong brought Chen Feng here, he boasted that he could guarantee that Chen Feng could buy at least a few pieces. As a result, Tang Xingfa was only willing to sell Chen Feng two pieces, and he wanted to exclude the two pieces of oracle bones that were obviously exquisite. Isn't this a slap in his face?
An old hand like Tang Xingfa is first-rate at observing people's words and expressions.

Considering Hu Shilong and Ji Hongsheng's attitude towards Chen Feng, he immediately pretended to be helpless and explained: "It's not that I don't want to sell these two pieces of oracle bones, but these two pieces are very rare and exquisite. The relevant units have been trying to get me to hand them in, but I have always refused to do so. In the end, they could only let me file a special record for these two pieces of oracle bones and warned me not to sell them to others, otherwise I would be held legally responsible. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, I cannot sell these two special pieces of oracle bones."

Chen Feng immediately said, "If I can only buy two pieces, I hope it's these two pieces. Mr. Tang, can you think of a way? The price is really easy to negotiate, it can be 20% higher than the market price."

Upon hearing this, Hu Shilong immediately waved his hand and said with great pride: "Since my friend likes it, you have agreed. If there is any problem, I will help you solve it."

Ji Hongsheng also said immediately: "Brother Tang, since you know that I am a fortune teller, you should have heard some things about me. If there is no introduction from a friend or a middleman, I will never tell fortunes for people. If Shilong hadn't brought me to your house this time, it would not be so easy for you to invite me if you wanted to. If you can give up these two pieces of oracle bones that Mr. Chen likes, I can promise to tell your fortune for free twice, including this time."

What Ji Hongsheng meant was that if Tang Xingfa did not agree, he would not tell his fortune for him.

When Tang Xingfa heard what he said, he instantly felt the pressure.

This time, he really needed Ji Hongsheng's help in fortune-telling. This was a matter of great importance to his precious grandson's life, as well as the rise and fall of their Tang family in the next few decades.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Tang Xingfa gritted his teeth and clapped his hands, saying, "Okay, okay, since Boss Chen likes these two pieces of fine oracle bones, Shilong is the guarantor, and the fortune teller is here to plead for me, I agree."

He did a favor for the other person at once.

However, Chen Feng really had to accept his favor this time because these two pieces of oracle bones were very useful to him, especially the one on the deer skull, which might even cure his cancer.

So Chen Feng said very seriously: "Thank you very much. I really like these two pieces of oracle bones. Thank you for giving them up. If there are any legal problems, I can take responsibility."

Hu Shilong immediately said generously: "Don't worry about this. If there is any problem, I will help Mr. Tang solve it."

Tang Xingfa also nodded in agreement.

In fact, he could solve this so-called legal problem by himself, otherwise he would not have refused to hand it in. You can't stand it with ordinary people, they can teach you a lesson in a few minutes.

As a well-known collector, it is impossible to become famous if you do not have some connections and strong background.

"Then I won't be polite. You can name a price."

Chen Feng asked the other party to name a price. Tang Xingfa was not ambiguous and raised his hand to gesture towards Chen Feng.

Seeing this, Chen Feng asked tentatively: "Five million."

Tang Xingfa was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "More than a decade ago, when the relevant department asked me to hand it over, I was willing to give 6 million, but I didn't agree. Later, some people were interested in these two pieces, and the highest price was more than 40 million, but I didn't sell it."

"Fifty million?" Hu Shilong frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Tang, your price is a bit high. I remember that an oracle bone was auctioned at an auction in Shanghai before. It was a relatively complete cow shoulder blade, at least bigger than the one you have here, with more characters on it, and it was sold for more than eight million in the end."

Ji Hongsheng also chimed in: "Yes, the price is a bit outrageous. Even if these two pieces are fine products, they shouldn't be so expensive."

Tang Xingfa was not angry, but patiently explained: "This piece of cow shoulder blade is indeed worth eight or nine million at most, but this deer skull is a masterpiece among masterpieces, and it is very rare. I have also asked the auction house to estimate its value before, and they said the lowest price is 40 million. If you are lucky, you may even get hundreds of millions. So, my offer of 50 million is really not expensive, it is already a friendly price."

Tong Yongkang, who had been silent until then, said, "Although there are few oracle bones on deer skulls, they are not extremely rare. I have seen one before, and it was more complete than yours. Later he sold it for just over one million US dollars, which is equivalent to less than 10 million yuan. Of course, that was five or six years ago. So, even if there is a premium now, it should not increase so much."

Hearing this, Tang Xingfa immediately became unhappy and frowned, "Are you saying that I made a random offer and that I lied?"

Tong Yongkang said seriously: "That's not what I meant. Maybe the people at the auction house made a mistake in their estimate."

Hu Shilong also smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, you can't use the price of the auction house to set the price. We all know that some things in the auction house are very complicated. Things that were originally worth only one dollar can be auctioned for one hundred or even one thousand dollars."

Tang Xingfa felt the pressure again, wondering who this Chen Feng was and why Hu Shilong supported him so much?

"Boss Chen, then tell me, how much are you willing to pay for these two pieces of oracle bones?"

Tang Xingfa directly threw the question to the buyer Chen Feng.

In his heart, Chen Feng could actually still accept the price of 50 million. After all, money was just a number to him. What's more, spending the money was equivalent to saving his life. As long as he absorbed the energy in the oracle bone script on the deer skull, there was a high probability that his terminal illness could be cured.

So, is fifty million very expensive? To Chen Feng now, it is really not that expensive.

However, Hu Shilong and the other two helped him lower the price, so he certainly couldn't hold back. After thinking about it, he tentatively offered: "How about 30 million?"

Tang Xingfa couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard the price. He thought that even if the other party bargained, he would only get 40 million, but he actually got it down to 30 million.

Hu Shilong immediately said, "I think this price is very reasonable, thirty million, Mr. Tang, I think this is the price. After all, when you bought it, it was probably only a few dozen yuan, or you bought it by the pound, a few yuan per pound. If you sell it at this price now, you will make a fortune."

"How could I have bought it by the pound?" Tang Xingfa immediately denied loudly, "I got this deer skull from another collector by chance more than 20 years ago. I exchanged it for a teacup from a famous kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. That teacup was worth at least hundreds of thousands at the time, and it is worth 20 to 30 million now."

Ji Hongsheng immediately said: "Then Mr. Chen's offer of 30 million is very reasonable."

Tong Yongkang also nodded and agreed: "This price is very suitable."

Tang Xingfa shook his head and said, "30 million is a bit low. How about 40 million? This is really a fair price. I will pay the tax when the time comes. The tax is not low."

Chen Feng asked: "How much tax will it cost?"

Tang Xingfa said: "We both use the company's name to trade, so we will have to pay 20% tax. Forty million, we will have to pay eight million in tax."

Hu Shilong curled his lips and said, "In the transaction of cultural relics, the industry rules are that the seller pays the tax."

Tang Xingfa argued, "That's true, but if I pay taxes for 30 million, I can only get more than 20 million. I really can't sell it."

Chen Feng was too lazy to bargain with him anymore and said directly: "Okay, then 40 million will be fine."

"Great!" Tang Xingfa gave Chen Feng a thumbs up and said happily, "It's settled. I'll have someone print the contract and send it over later, and you can have your company transfer the money."

"Okay, then hurry up."

Ji Hongsheng suddenly said, "Brother Tang, Mr. Chen is so generous, why don't you be a little more generous and give him two more oracle bones as gifts?"

Tang Xingfa looked at Ji Hongsheng speechlessly, thinking, you thought I was buying vegetables, and I gave you two onions for free?
Chen Feng gave Ji Hongsheng an appreciative look, which made the latter very happy.

"Mr. Tang, how about selling me a few pieces of oracle bones at 500,000 each?"

"No, no." Tang Xingfa shook his head repeatedly, "I sold you the two best ones. I don't plan to sell these inferior ones anymore."

Hu Shilong said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, since you have sold all the best ones, what's the point of keeping these bad ones? You might as well sell them together."

Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "How about this, I'll pay another 30 million, and you let me pick out another 50 pieces of oracle bones from them, what do you think?"

Tang Xingfa was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "How about this, as long as you pay a total price of 1.2 million, I will buy all these oracle bones for you."

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and shook his head slowly, saying, "The price is a bit high. If it's 8000 million, I'll cover it all."

"1.1 million is too little, the minimum is million."

"The most I'll offer is 8000 million."

"You are not sincere at all."

"If you don't sell it for 80 million, I can't do anything about it."

Tang Xingfa tried to bargain, but Chen Feng insisted on 80 million and refused to budge.

It wasn't that Chen Feng suddenly cared about money, but he suddenly realized that the old man was cunning and dishonest. If he agreed to the other party's offer without thinking, the other party might feel that he had lost money by selling the two fine oracle bones.

Therefore, before he actually got the two exquisite oracle bones, Chen Feng would not act too foolish and rich. (End of this chapter)
