Chapter 703 Immortal Royal Horse
Two American experts were communicating while appraising. At this time, one of them said a few words to the gentleman-looking blond man in his 30s. Seeing him nodding, he negotiated the price with the owner of the antique shop.

Li Mo stood aside and listened, and Wu Yue translated in a low voice.

The boss offered $[-], but the appraiser shook his head and bargained down to $[-].Probably because he was used to such bargaining, the boss didn't have any angry expression on his face, but just shook his head slightly, saying that they didn't really want to buy.If the price is cut like this, there is no need to continue the exchange.

Sure enough, they are all old Jianghu, and the appraisal experts were not in a hurry, they just smiled and said a lot.

"The best of fakes?"

Hearing May's translation, Li Mo was a little interested in this novel statement.In China, it is generally called high imitation products, but this concept is not very clear. Today I have learned a little different knowledge.This expresses it very clearly, clearly saying that yours is a fake, that is, a fake, but it is also the top of the fake.

No matter how good it is, it is still a fake, and it will never be sold at the price of the real thing.

The shop owner can't tell why, if you sell it as the real thing, then at least there is a convincing argument, but you just can't tell, isn't this an obvious deception.

The appraisal expert only added a thousand dollars, but the owner of the antique shop thought about it and didn't agree.

This group of people could only leave regretfully, and the business was ruined.

"Mr. Qin, what type of porcelain is that?"

"The prick that sits under the ass."

The Qing Guangxu pastel embroidered pier was put back on the shelf, and the boss just turned around when he saw Li Mo pointing at the embroidered pier and asked, "How much can I sell it for?"

"Do you want to buy it?"

"The style is relatively rare, and I am very interested. Of course, if you insist on tens of thousands of dollars before you are willing to sell, then I will forget it. A few people just now are obviously professional Taobao people. Two appraisal experts said that it is a high-quality fake. I think No matter how expensive it is, it can’t exceed $[-]. If it’s a genuine product, they will definitely not miss it, after all, there will be countless treasure hunters flocking to Seattle during this period.”

Li Mo expressed his opinion unhurriedly.

"I don't even want to see that porcelain. You can offer me a real price, and if I can accept it, I will take it away."

At this time, the owner of the antique shop looked him up and down, and immediately wanted to buy it if he didn't get started. This young Chinese man seems to have some financial strength.

"For the sake of your sincere liking, I will quote you a real price, and you can take [-] U.S. dollars with you."

Twenty thousand dollars?Li Mo muttered a few times, and didn't bargain with him, but said: "The price you offered is twice as high as my price, but who makes me like it. That's good, I'll give you a discount I can buy it for [-] U.S. dollars, but you have to give me five pieces of porcelain on the shelf as a gift."

The boss looked back at the porcelain on the shelf: "May I pick five pieces for you?"

"Of course I randomly picked out five pieces that are pleasing to the eye, and I didn't take advantage of your time and time, so I picked them one by one. If you agree, how about I just stand here and pick out five pieces of porcelain at random?"

Wu Yue was very powerful this time, she somewhat figured out Li Mo's tricks.Once he said that, there must be genuine porcelain on the shelf.So it is very appropriate to take out the card and put it on the counter, with an attitude of immediately trading if you agree.

Li Mo's indifferent and casual operation reassured the boss.

"You pick."

Li Mo nodded without any hesitation, and stretched out his fingers to point out five pieces of porcelain one by one.

"Pack it all up, pay and settle."

Good guy, it's true that he's too casual, he doesn't even take a second look.

The boss made the settlement himself, and he called two clerks to carefully pack the six pieces of porcelain.

"Let the people outside send them back to the store and put them in the warehouse."

The stab head nodded and went out, and soon three security guards walked in, each took two pieces of porcelain and left.

Probably a good deal of business was done, and the boss's attitude became obviously more enthusiastic. As for other customers, the shop staff naturally received them.

"Sir, we still have a lot of good porcelain and jade here, all of which are antiques from China. What else do you like?"

There are a lot of porcelain, but there are not many genuine ones, and they are all picked out by themselves.The porcelain in the hands of other customers can only be said to be the best of the fakes, and they are two different things from the real ones.As for jade, he is still interested.

But the jade wares displayed on the counter are all inferior goods, some of them look pretty good, but it doesn't make much sense to buy them back.Li Mo walked a dozen steps, and suddenly his eyes fell on a jade vessel.To be precise, this is a jade carving, using the round carving technique, with a person sitting on a horse.

Jade is the best Hetian jade, warm and white, without any blemishes.But the shape of the man on the horse is a bit strange. He is holding a Ganoderma lucidum, carrying a flying feather on his back, and holding the rein with both hands.

Generally speaking, the shape of a character can reflect the characteristics of an era. The shape of a man on horseback is closely related to Taoist culture.

Recalling relevant information in Li Mo's mind, he remembered that a group of jade wares were displayed in a museum in China. The earliest jade wares unearthed in the Han Dynasty were unearthed from an emperor's tomb in the Western Han Dynasty. The "Immortal Guiding the Way" jade carving is similar to the "Immortal Royal Horse" jade carving in front of me.

Regardless of whether it is from the Han Dynasty or not, this piece of top-quality Hetian sheep fat jade alone is worth a lot of money.Li Mo still saw with his different pupils that there was a light golden halo, which was indeed a round sculpture from the Han Dynasty.

In addition to this "immortal royal horse" jade carving, there are also some other lovely jade carvings beside it, such as jade bear, jade eagle, crouching dragon, and brave.

"I don't know if it was stolen from the Han Dynasty emperor's curtain?"

Li Mo called the boss, pointed to the crouching dragon and said, "How much is this one?"

"Shall I get you started?"

"No, I think the carving is very delicate and vivid, very beautiful, so I want to buy it."

"In that case, then I'll just say it straight, not only this Wolong jade carving, but also these few pieces have been appraised by someone. The quality of each piece of jade is very good, and it can be said that it is the flagship of our shop. Zhibao. If you really like it, I'll give you a real price, and don't bargain with me, you'll give me [-] dollars for this Crouching Dragon."

Li Mo smacked his lips while listening to Wu Yue's translation.He didn't feel that the asking price was high, but just subconsciously wanted to bargain.This Han sculpture is made of Hetian jade, or a jade ware from the emperor's mausoleum to ward off evil spirits. If it is really going to be auctioned, it can't be bought without a knife of 30 to [-] US dollars.

And the 'Immortal and Royal Horse' jade carving carved from the top-quality Hetian mutton jade is worth at least 500 million US dollars, or even more.

"These five pieces of jade should be quoted together."

"This jade carving on a horse is a bit more expensive. The price is 13 US dollars, and the rest are [-] US dollars each, for a total of [-] US dollars."

"At any rate, we have worked together once, and it won't make you bleed. I don't bother to think about these five pieces of jade one by one. The total bid is one hundred thousand dollars. Yes, settle immediately."

Just looking at it would cost one hundred thousand dollars. The owner of the antique shop thought he was too rich. In China, he must be the kind of dandy and rich second generation. There is too much money to spend.As long as you see something you like, don't ask what it is, just shoot it if you like it.

"One hundred thousand dollars is my bottom line. If you don't want to, then we'll leave." Li Mo didn't give him time to think, turned around and was about to leave.

"Okay, a deal of one hundred thousand dollars."
