Chapter 465 Pete Ann

"Go." Qi Changhe nodded.

The two left the hotel, took a taxi, and arrived at a five-star hotel of an international brand in Jiangzhou Economic Development Zone.

However, when he reached the door of the room, Yu Yao found that it was not the presidential suite, but a business suite.

Qi Changhe smiled awkwardly, "Perhaps it was my old friend's slip of the tongue."

I rang the doorbell, and it was a man in his 60s who opened the door.

At first glance, he is actually an old handsome guy with a fashionable hairstyle and a long face, but he has sharp eyebrows and high nose bridge, and he looks a bit mixed.He was wearing an orange round neck sweater, revealing a white shirt with stars inside, and he maintained a good figure.

The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable is that this person has obvious big bags under the eyes, and also has a color similar to black and blue after being beaten.

"Hello, hello." After letting Qi Changhe and Yu Yao into the living room of the suite, he stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Qi Changhe while looking at Yu Yao, "Who is this?"

His tone was a little blunt, but it seemed deliberate.

"Oh, Mr. An, this Mr. Yu is my friend in Jiangzhou, let's take a look." Qi Changhe introduced.

"Understood, Palm Eye!" He reached out to shake Yu Yao's hand again, "Welcome."

Yu Yao reached out to shake his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet Mr. An."

"I just wanted to say it on the phone, don't call me Mr. An, just call me Pete." This Pete Ann smiled all over his face, "We are friends when we know each other. I will call you Lao Qi and Xiao Yu, no problem Bar?"

"It's fine to be casual." Qi Changhe nodded.

"Please sit down, both of you." Pitian then asked, "Coffee? Tea? Or?"

"No need, Peter...Peter." Qi Changhe said, "Let's take a look first?"

Pietan smiled, "Old Qi, it seems that the antique business shouldn't be done this way? Didn't it mean that the business is only tasteful if it doesn't look like a business?"

Qi Changhe smiled, "Isn't this afraid of delaying your time?"

"Alright." Piet'an nodded with a smile, turned into the bedroom, opened the safe, took out a brocade box from it, and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.

Then he stretched out his hand and signaled, "Look at it!"

"Then I'm welcome."

Qi Changhe opened the brocade box, and carefully took out the halberd statue from inside.

The height of this halberd statue is about [-] centimeters, with azure glaze.

The shape is modeled after the bronze ware, with a bell mouth, a slightly retracted neck, folded shoulders, a bulging belly, and high ring feet.

There are four "halberds" on the neck, abdomen, and feet, which are not simple ribs, but like the crenels of a city wall.

Qi Changhe held the turned bottom with both hands, the feet were covered with glaze, the bottom was flat, and there were five circular nail marks on the bottom.The bottom of the Ru kiln is generally full of glaze, and when it is fired in the kiln, the nail marks will be exposed on the bottom.

The glaze color of this halberd statue is very moist, the glaze layer is rich, and some earth accumulations on the surface have a feeling of fusion with the enamel.Qi Changhe touched it with his hands, and it was hard and smooth, and the surface even felt a certain amount of pulp.

Such an effect often has to be buried first and then unearthed, and it takes enough time to form.

Qi Changhe looked at it for about 10 minutes, then withdrew his hand, and asked Peter with a smile: "Peter, how did this thing come about, can you tell me?"

After he withdrew his hand, Yu Yao looked up naturally.

Pietan replied, "My father bought it from a shop in Birmingham. Of course, it was very early. Originally, a big auction house in England approached me last month. But I think, although I I am British, but my roots are in China, especially my father was born in Jiangzhou. So, I should let such a heavy weapon return, don’t you think, Lao Qi?”

"It's rare, Pete!" Qi Changhe smiled, and then asked, "Old Dong and I are old friends, he said you get along well in England?"

"Yeah, although we haven't known each other for a long time, we hit it off right away and we have a very good relationship. If he hadn't introduced you, I wouldn't have held on to the auction house's high price, which resulted in no transaction."

Without waiting for Qi Changhe's response, Piet'an continued, "But don't worry, since we are all friends, I can give you the lowest price!"

"Does Mr. Pete often do antique business in England?" At this time, Yu Yao suddenly turned his head and asked.

Peter'an was taken aback, "No. But my father likes it very much, and I can be regarded as being familiar with it, and I understand it, so I do it when I encounter it, but not often."

"Mr. Pete, what is your main job now?"

Pietan was taken aback, "Xiao Yu, my job is quite special, you've made it difficult for me."

"It's because I didn't think about it." Yu Yao smiled, "I really want to visit England if I have the chance, especially the British Museum. I heard that there are many good things from China."

"Contact me when the time comes, and I will receive you." Pitian stretched his arms and made a welcoming gesture.

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Yu Yao said, and glanced at Qi Changhe.However, the eyes are flat, without any hint.

Qi Changhe thought to himself, what does this mean?

In his opinion, this halberd statue from Ru kiln, from the glaze color to the cracks, from the fetal bone to the nail marks, from the patina to the old spots, is the characteristic of the Ru kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it should be something that was buried and unearthed. .

In other words, he couldn't see the problem, so he just waited for Yu Yao to give a hint.

But Yu Yao did not hint.

"Ahem, Pete, what price do you plan to sell for this halberd?"

"For the auction house before, I wanted to set a starting price of 8000 million yuan and a reserve price of [-] million yuan!" Peter An avoided the truth and talked about it first.In fact, after Shen Ge came, he hadn't reached the point of discussing the details of the contract. He said he would "watch the night together" with the beauty before he could see through the details, but he was scolded and Shen Ge slammed the door away.

Qi Changhe was shocked in his heart, but smiled calmly on the surface, "What about me!"

"Since we are friends, we must take care of them. However, the value of Ru kiln is known to the world. If I sell it cheap, it will become a waste of money!" Pitian pointed a finger at Qi Changhe, "The lowest !"

Qi Changhe couldn't help frowning.

In fact, if it is a genuine Northern Song Ru kiln court ritual vessel, [-] million is really not expensive.

Qi Changhe also had a certain amount of psychological preparation before coming, but in this antique shop, the psychology of picking up leaks hidden deep in his heart is diffuse, even if he knows that the other party has already figured out something.

Qi Changhe was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Yao, "Then let's think about it first?"

Since Yu Yao didn't hint it face to face, let's ask after the fact. Anyway, such a thing is probably very difficult to sell for a while.

But Pietan answered before Yu Yao, "Old Qi, I can wait for you, but only for today. There are two more buyers coming to see tomorrow."

"Okay. This is already very good." Qi Changhe nodded.

Yu Yao took out his mobile phone, "Mr. Pete, can I take a photo?"

"No! This is not an ordinary thing! Xiaoyu, you should understand!" As he said, Pietan quickly put the halberd statue back into the brocade box and closed the lid.
