Collection of Gods

Chapter 795 Stud
Because the trading party is the King of Thailand, who owns the wealth inherited by the Rama royal family for hundreds of years, it is definitely impossible to impress him with worldly money, so Tang Yuan's offer must be unique.

However, before making a bid, Tang Yuan first had to figure out the value of the copy. The principle Tang Yuan always followed was that professional matters should be done by professionals. So after Tang Yuan sat down with a paper and a pen, he called Xu Chengwei, the manager of the Yanjing branch of Sotheby's auction house, who was far away in Yanjing.

Only a few seconds passed and the call was quickly picked up.

"Mr. Tang, hello!"

"How can I help you?"

Three months ago, Tang Yuan successfully bought the 20th century photo album at Christie's auction house for nearly 700 million US dollars, which caused a sensation in the entire auction industry and also broke the highest transaction record in the entire auction industry.

Since then, the name Tang Yuan has become a living God of Wealth for those working in the auction industry. His VIP level in all auction houses is the highest, even if there are some auction houses that Tang Yuan has never visited.

Facing the extremely respectful Xu Chengwei, Tang Yuan didn't waste time and went straight to the point: "Manager Xu, I have a favor to ask of you. I have a piece of art in front of me that I really like. I would like your auction house to help me assess its value. Do you think it would be convenient?"

“Convenient, convenient, very convenient!”

"Mr. Tang, you just need to send me the information about this artwork. If you have a picture, that would be even better. I will immediately contact the top appraiser at Sotheby's Auction House to help you estimate the price!"

When Xu Chengwei heard that Tang Yuan wanted to trouble him with something, even through the phone, Tang Yuan could feel the other party's ecstasy.

"Manager Xu, this phone number is your WeChat, right?"

Tang Yuan could understand the other party's feelings, and said in a rather calm tone: "I will add you later, and then send you the basic information and pictures of this artwork. I am in a hurry, and hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. As for the evaluation fee, it is whatever it is, and I will transfer it to you directly through WeChat."

"Mr. Tang, you are so polite."

"You are the most distinguished top member of our Sotheby's auction house. It is our honor to have the opportunity to help you. How could we charge you any fees?"

Xu Chengwei refused repeatedly, speaking in very nice words.

In response, Tang Yuan did not act pretentiously. He spoke a few simple words to the other party and hung up the phone. Then he took the initiative to add Xu Chengwei on WeChat and sent him the detailed information and many pictures of the copy of the Zen Master Biancai.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Tang, it's almost time. We have to return this exhibit to the exhibition hall. If you are really interested in this exhibit, Mr. Tang, please fill in the price and hand the envelope to the staff later. We will hand it over to the King of Thailand as soon as possible."

As soon as Tang Yuan put down the phone, the middle-aged man in the lead slowly came up to Tang Yuan and Xie Chengrun, bowed slightly, and spoke in a low voice with a slightly cautious look.

"Okay, let's go out."

Tang Yuan nodded. Since he had already found out the information he wanted to find out, he showed no reluctance at all and waved his hand to signal them that they could leave.

When the middle-aged man in the lead heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Xie Chengrun. If this young master didn't give the order, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"let's go."

Seeing that Tang Yuan said so, Xie Chengrun did not make things difficult for them.

When everyone saw Xie Chengrun give in, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then they quickly put away the copying stickers and soon left the VIP room.

"Chengrun, what price do you think I should offer to successfully impress the King of Thailand?"

After the VIP room quieted down, Tang Yuan asked Xie Chengrun thoughtfully.

"Brother Yuan, if you ask me, this matter is very simple." "It is well known that the King of Thailand is a playboy. You can just cater to his preferences and exchange the royal wine for the calligraphy. I am sure the King of Thailand will be moved."

"No matter how good the imitation is, it is just an imitation after all. It is not the original copy of the Lanting Preface. There is no comparison between it and something like Wangjiu that can make him feel the benefits every day. It is obvious which is more important."

Xie Chengrun leaned back in the soft chair and gave the answer without even thinking, his words full of certainty.

"Um……"

"That's pretty much what I thought."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Now I'm just waiting for Sotheby's to send me the estimate. Then I'll know how to bid."

"Brother Yuan, the price of Yuehua rare wine in the secondary market has reached nearly 300,000 yuan per bottle. I feel that if Wangjiu enters the market, its price should not be less than one million. After all, wealth accumulation grows over time, and the older you are, the richer you are."

"For those wealthy people at home and abroad, if they only need to spend a million to have the opportunity to return to their youth several times, I think it is very likely that they will find it difficult to resist this temptation, so Brother Yuan, don't underestimate the price of Wangjiu."

When Xie Chengrun saw that Tang Yuan was really planning to use the royal wine to make a deal with the King of Thailand, he couldn't help but remind Tang Yuan a few words.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Tang Yuan nodded and responded with a smile.

While the two were talking, Tang Yuan's cell phone suddenly vibrated twice. The source of the information was Xu Chengwei, and the price range given by Sotheby's auction house for the copy of Zen Master Biancai was between 1.5 million and 2 million.

Tang Yuan saw the price given by the professional appraiser of Sotheby's auction house and nodded slightly: "This price is about the same as I guessed."

A copy is, after all, just a copy. The estimated value of it is between 1.5 million and 2 million yuan, which is already a sky-high price among copy.

With the price opinions given by the professionals, Tang Yuan thought for a moment, then picked up the gel pen on the table and directly quoted the price of 200 kilograms of Wangjiu on the white paper.

"Brother Yuan, don't you only have 200 kilograms of Wangjiu in your hands?"

When Xie Chengrun saw the price Tang Yuan offered, his eyes widened slightly: "You are going all in!"

"Yes."

"After all, we are making a deal with the King of Thailand, so let's be straightforward."

Tang Yuan did not hesitate. After writing the price on the white paper, he folded the paper and put it back into the envelope, while responding with a smile.

"Brother Yuan, awesome!"

Xie Chengrun silently gave a thumbs up.

Tang Yuan smiled and stood up from the sofa: "Let's go, help me hand this envelope to the staff, I hope there will be good news."

Seeing that Tang Yuan had made up his mind, Xie Chengrun said nothing more. He took the envelope from Tang Yuan and walked out of the VIP room with Tang Yuan and Lin Xingwan...
