Chapter 594 Shipment

599. Shipping

After cleaning up the Wei family's collection, Wei Zhong and the two were surprised to find that the old man of the Wei family was still "low-key", and the value of the things in it was more than ten times underestimated.

Especially the golden scepter, that thing is basically a "priceless treasure". If it falls on the market, it will definitely be a bloody storm.

This made the two of them start to have difficulties. Other calligraphy, paintings and jade were fine. But this golden scepter is really a bit "eye-catching". This kind of thing is no less worthy of being called a national treasure.

Especially since the old man of the Wei family gave up an arm to get this thing back. Even if the Jiang family "blamed" the old man of the Wei family, he didn't hand it over. Isn't it a pity to just sell it like this?

"What's wrong, brother?" Wei Cheng asked puzzledly, seeing that Wei Zhong was still in a daze.

Wei Zhong sighed and said: "This scepter was bought by the old man with one arm. Isn't it a pity to sell it like this? Besides, such a rare treasure is hard to come by."

"Brother, you won't be reluctant to let go now, right?" Wei Cheng said speechlessly. He is not as "petty" as his eldest brother Wei Zhong. If possible, he would even take the money and run away.

Wei Zhong looked embarrassed and said: "I just feel that this thing is too, too expensive."

"How about this, brother, let's take a photo and ask for the price first. If the price is low, we won't sell it. If the price is high, it won't be too late for us to consider it again." Wei Cheng was very open-minded.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Wei Zhong thought about it and found that there was no good way, so he simply listened to his brother Wei Cheng's method and inquired about the price first.

After all, what the Wei family needs to do now is to preserve their strength, not to retain some "thorny" things.

After saying that, the two brothers picked up the scepter and put it in each other's hands, took a picture of each other, and then returned to the ground through the tunnel with the things they had sorted out.

"Bring these things over first and ask first. Have you made an appointment yet?" Wei Zhong asked as he and Wei Cheng carried the things into the van.

"Don't worry, brother, it's all done. I'll take off the license plate first. Safety first." After finishing his work, Wei Cheng walked to the car and started to remove the license plate. This was not because he had any brains.

But he has always "careed" about money.

Wei Zhong was very pleased to see his brother so "enlightened" and helped him remove the license plate from the back.

After doing all this, the two brothers drove into a car filled with "cash-for-money" gadgets and drove towards an abandoned construction site agreed upon by Ma Liu's younger brother Lao Wu.

Looking at the rugged mountain road in front of him, Wei Zhong drove very slowly in order to prevent the contents of the van from being damaged. An hour later, the van stopped at an abandoned construction site.

Following the pre-agreed "secret signal", Wei Cheng approached the main driver and flashed his high beam into the distance three times, when a faint yellow light suddenly flashed from the opposite side.

A bald man, with black tattoos all over his arms, and a dzi bead pierced with bones hanging around his neck, which is the string of relics that has become quite popular recently.

"Young Master Wei, right? My dear, Wu Laowu, all the brothers on the road call me Laowu. What can I do today that will make my brothers look good?" The bald man slowly walked up to the two of them and extended his hand to introduce.

"Well, let's give you a price first. If it's suitable, we can continue to discuss it." When it comes to matters like "business," Wei Zhong still needs an experienced person like Wei Zhong to take action. In order for the other party not to lower the price, Wei Zhong first asked his younger brother to take it from the co-pilot. He took out a Song Dynasty pen and handed it over.

"Hey, it's really good to introduce a product. Although the Panlong Agate brush washer is not from the official kiln, it is still the best among the people. The lowest price on the market for this quality is 800, but I have the same rules here. I understand, I can get about 400. My elder brother also said that originally we wanted the same amount of gold, so I will be generous and waive the handling fee. What do you think?"

Of course Wei Cheng was willing to do it. He didn't know much about antiques. He even thought that if he had the time, he might as well buy a sports car and pick up girls.

"Well, the price is okay. The rest of the things are in the car, please." Although Wei Zhong felt a little pained, he had to know that if this Panlong Agate brush washer was placed at auction, the lowest starting price would be 800. But it would be nice if someone took over these things now.

There is no way, you have to rush to cash out and what you want is gold, so you have to give the other party a little "sweetness", right?

"Oh, it's really refreshing. Let's check out together later. I'll take a look at the goods first." Lao Wu nodded, turned around and walked towards the van door.

Lao Wu is worthy of being an "expert". The price given by him really makes Wei Zhong love and hate him. He knows that these things are "valuable" but now he has to accept them.

There is no way, the company's shares are just a pile of waste paper now. If the tax department investigates, they don't know what the amount of money they will pay will be, so no one will take over now.

Now these antiques are the only ones that can be turned into cash quickly.

"What? This is an authentic work by Tang Bohu, so why don't you give me 6 million?" Wei Zhong pointed at a scroll and said angrily.

Lao Wang smiled and said: "There is no other way, Mr. Wei. Now that calligraphy and painting are in the cold, everyone is going to speculate on porcelain. The market of calligraphy and painting has been like this in the past few years. The last authentic Tang Bohu auction was only about 11.5 million. The amount of porcelain produced at that time was worth hundreds of millions.”

"Yes, but this price is too low." Wei Zhong said with some reluctance. Among the Wei family, he was the most interested in calligraphy and painting. Hearing this price made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

"I've already made the offer. It's up to you whether you accept it or not. What do you think, Young Master Wei?" Old Wang smiled and asked.

Wei Zhong sighed and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."

After calculation, the most expensive item in the van was a blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty worth 60 million, and the cheapest was a snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty worth 600,000, totaling 360 million Chinese yuan.

Lao Wu smiled and said, "Since we are so destined, I'll make up 400 million Chinese yuan. What do you think?"

Hearing the price of 400 million, Wei Cheng's eyes were full of stars. Wei Zhong sighed and nodded, agreeing with the price Lao Wu said.

"Okay, do you want Swiss gold notes? Or Lofitt gold notes?" Lao Wu asked.

The so-called gold notes are a kind of "crop" specially produced for this kind of transaction. As long as the other party opens an account in a private bank in Switzerland or Lofitt Bank in Europe, the gold can be transferred to his account through the code on the gold note.

Except for those who know the account and password, no one has the right to inquire about the origin of this batch of gold. However, such strict protection comes at a high price.

To apply for such an account, the minimum value of gold must exceed 30 million US dollars, which is not a sum that ordinary people can have. And when withdrawing, the bank has the priority right to exchange gold for equivalent US dollars or other currencies.

"Swiss gold notes will do." Wei Zhong is not a small figure, so he naturally knows these secrets.
