Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 432 Unparalleled deal!

National Museum. Foreign Guest Service Office!
"Comrade, you... what did you just say?" the female comrade said with a look of horror.

"I said I want all these paintings. You can set a price!" Li Yi said calmly.

"Are you kidding me? Why did you buy so many paintings?"

"I don't need you to care about this. You, an ordinary staff member, certainly can't make the decision on such a big business. Call your person in charge and let him talk to me!"

"This"

"Don't worry, I'll let him put the commission on you!"

Li Yi saw the reason for the lesbian's struggle at a glance and said directly.

"Okay, you two wait a moment, I'll call our director down right now!"

After saying that, the lesbian hurriedly ran out of the exhibition hall, as fast as a wolf was chasing her from behind.

After the lesbian left, Jiang Xue finally recovered from the shock, then looked at Li Yi and said, "Do you really want to buy all the paintings here?"

"Have this idea!"

"Why did you buy so many paintings? These are neither edible nor drinkable!"

That's right, although Jiang Xue has returned to the Jiang family now, she is still the little woman full of small farmer ideas.

“It’s true that this thing can’t be eaten or drunk, but it can increase in value!”

"Appreciation? You mean these calligraphy and paintings will increase in price?" Jiang Xue whispered.

"Yes, while we have some spare money, we can buy something for our son and daughter, what do you think?"

Li Yi knew that his son and daughter were definitely Jiang Xue's biggest weakness. No matter what happened, as long as his son and daughter were involved, no matter how big the problem was, it would definitely not be a problem.

"Then it's up to you, but try not to spend too much money!"

"Okay, I have a sense of discretion."

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man with a big belly "rushed" in with five or six men and women.

After seeing Li Yi, the middle-aged man said excitedly: "Comrade, are you going to buy the paintings from our unit?"

"Yes, how many paintings do you have here in total?"

"Less than ten thousand!"

"It's too general. One thousand paintings is less than ten thousand paintings. Nine thousand nine hundred paintings are also called ten thousand paintings. Let's be more specific!" Li Yi said.

The middle-aged man said with some embarrassment: "Wait a moment, I'll have someone check the file to see how many paintings are left!"

At this moment, the female comrade who received Li Yi suddenly whispered: "Director, we still have 9768 paintings here, of which 13 are slightly damaged and 2 are seriously damaged!"

Li Yi couldn't help but take another look at the lesbian, and then said: "I want these paintings, please make a price!"

"Comrade, do you really want them all?"

"I won't tell lies! If the price is right, we can trade at any time!" Li Yi said.

"Nearly [-] paintings, many of which are masterpieces by famous artists like Qi Lao or Zhang Lao"

"Don't say this, just say how much it is, and I'll see if I can accept it!"

"440 million, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yi did not hesitate and turned around to leave with Jiang Xue.

Seeing this, the fat director hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Comrade, when doing business, we should start from the beginning and pay back the price at the end. If you feel that our price is not suitable, you can make a counter-offer!"

Li Yi stopped immediately, and then said: "Business requires sincerity. What does 40 mean? You can buy several cars?" "Besides, you can sell me 40 for less than 40 paintings." , the average price of a piece is more than 40 yuan. Do you know what kind of masters’ works can be bought for [-] yuan on the market? If you are lucky, you can get the works of masters like Qi Lao and Zhang Lao. You can buy all the works here. Do all paintings have this level of quality?”

The fat director was choked by Li Yi and was speechless. He held it in for a long time and then said: "Comrade, do you think this is okay? You can offer a price you can accept, and we can see if it works?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "I won't take advantage of you either. The price is 20 yuan, and the average price of a painting is more than 20 yuan. You can discuss it!"

"Can you add more?"

The fat director said with some embarrassment that RMB 20 for so many paintings was not very high, and selling it like this would be a bit of a loss.

But the situation in their unit is really not good now. If they can exchange these paintings for 20 yuan in emergency supplies, it is not unacceptable.

"I won't pay a penny more, and I have an additional condition!"

"What conditions?"

"It was this lesbian who received our couple just now, and it was she who persuaded us to buy the painting, so you must not give her any less of the commission, otherwise the deal will be cancelled!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, I'll ask my boss for instructions!"

"Well, please!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the fat director asked for instructions from the leader, Li Yi asked the female comrade to help get the original files of these paintings.

When Li Yi opened this thick original file, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He saw that there were more than 100 works of Mr. Qi registered in it.

There are now less than thirty paintings left, and the rest are marked SOLD on the back.

In addition, there are dozens of works by Mr. Zhang Daqian, but there are less than twenty left here, and the rest have been sold.

One was even sold just this morning. If he had come a few hours earlier, the painting would have been his.

In addition to the paintings of Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian, there are many others registered above.

Although these people are only slightly famous at the moment, in the future they will all be the mainstays of the Chinese painting art world, true masters, and each of their works is valuable.

All in all, if you can win this batch of paintings, you will definitely make a lot of money!

Just when Li Yi was carefully checking the original files of these paintings, the fat director came back sweating profusely.

I saw him wiping the sweat on his forehead and saying: "Comrade, our leader has approved and agreed to sell these paintings to you for 20 yuan. I don't know when it will be convenient for you to trade!"

Li Yi looked at his watch, and then said: "In an hour, I will go to the bank to withdraw money now, and you will help me organize and pack these paintings. Remember, pack Mr. Qi's and Mr. Zhang's paintings separately."

"OK, no problem!"

"In addition, we have to sign a formal contract, and you have to give me a certificate to prove that these paintings were sold to me by your museum!" Li Yi said.

"Should be!"

With that said, Li Yi opened the briefcase he carried with him, took out a stack of unopened Unity, and then said: "This money is a deposit!"

"Okay, okay, I'll issue you a receipt right now!" the fat director said hurriedly.

After getting the deposit receipt, Li Yi took Jiang Xue and left the National Museum.

What Li Yi did next was even more shocking. He came to the bank as quickly as possible, and after withdrawing 20 yuan, he returned to the National Museum without stopping.

Then, with everyone looking at him like a fool, he signed a contract worth 20 yuan with the leaders of the National Museum of China, completing this unprecedented transaction.

After signing the contract, the National Museum was very interested, knowing that Li Yi just drove a jeep and could not pull so many paintings.

Immediately, an extended vehicle was dispatched to pick up foreign guests and helped Li Yi send these paintings back to his courtyard!

Since then, the transaction has finally been completed completely and satisfactorily, and both parties are relieved!
