Chapter 2797: The Value Is Inestimable
,
Ye Qingqing tried to suppress her ecstasy. The value was inestimable, which meant it was very valuable. She would no longer scold her father for being an idiot. Even if she found a bargain once every ten years, it was worth it.
But——
"It's hard to bid for such a thing. It has great research value, but its collection value is not that great." said another old man.
Ye Qingqing's heart sank. What did that mean?
"This kind of antique can't be priced. No one dares to bid for it, and few people dare to collect it. I used to have a friend, Lao Shi, whom you should know. He had a bronze tripod. The situation was similar to this. Lao Shi later donated the tripod to the National Museum." Another old man said with a smile.
Ye Xunmei and the others all knew this Lao Shi, who was also a celebrity in the collection circle, but his rank was not as high as Yu Ziwu. He had not appeared much in recent years. It was said that he was idle at home and lived a very comfortable life.
"Old Ye, why don't you donate it too." Someone joked.
Ye Qingqing's heart was beating fast, and she secretly gritted her teeth and cursed. These old guys are talking without any pain in their backs. It's easy for them to ask others to donate, but why don't they donate their own treasures.
"These two jars are not mine, they belong to my son, and I can't make the decision." Ye Xunmei said with a smile.
Ye Qingqing felt better. If Ye Xunmei also said to donate, she would immediately break off relations with this old man, hum!
"Grandpa, how much is this jar worth?" Ye Qingqing said this deliberately to show her attitude. She didn't want to donate, so don't morally blackmail her.
The few people who had just made a fuss smiled awkwardly, and heard the implication of Ye Qingqing's words, and stopped talking about donating.
"It's hard to say now, but you, Uncle Yu, should be able to estimate the price of this one. I remember that China Guardian Auction House seemed to have auctioned a similar one in the first half of the year. How much was it?" Ye Xunmei looked at Yu Ziwu.
"50 million Hong Kong dollars (made up), but that jar is bigger, this one is estimated to be between 30 million and 40 million." Yu Ziwu said.
Ye Qingqing's heart was about to jump out, even if it was 30 million, it was a big deal, her father picked up a super big bargain, the boss must be regretting it, and it was given to her father for free, haha.
Yu Ziwu looked at the thin-necked jar enthusiastically, he wanted to collect this one, but he didn't want it now, he couldn't afford it, this unique thing didn't belong to him.
"It's hard to say the price,
There is no reference, it is priceless, but there is no market for it." Yu Ziwu told the truth.
"Then I'll keep it as a decoration, it looks weird now." Ye Qingqing was already very satisfied, the big-bellied jar was enough for the family to eat and drink for a lifetime, it didn't matter whether the thin-necked one was sold or not.
"No, no, such a precious cultural relic, it's too extravagant to use it as a decoration." The person who asked to donate it before disagreed.
Ye Qingqing smiled and said nothing. After all, they were all well-known old gentlemen, so she should give them some face.
These people sat for a while and then left. Ye Xunmei saw them out and chatted with Yu Ziwu outside for a long time.
In the evening, Lu Mo went home for dinner. Ye Mingcheng also came. Ye Xunmei took the opportunity to express his idea, "Yu Ziwu wants to buy that big-bellied jar for 25 million. I think it's feasible. 25 million is a good price."
Ye Mingcheng looked at Lu Mo. He didn't have any ideas. Lu Mo nodded slightly, indicating that it was feasible.
"Okay, what about the other one?" Ye Mingcheng agreed, very excited. He didn't expect that his luck had finally changed. He didn't curse the liar boss anymore. This boss was also quite pitiful.
"I think it's more appropriate to donate this one to the country." Ye Xunmei said.
