A treasure-appraisal maniac

Yoshida Ohno's first treasure, the twelve zodiac snake heads from the Old Summer Palace, were certified as genuine.

On this point, the referee team has the same opinion.

However, in the process of valuing the snake head, John Bo, the director of the British Museum, expressed different opinions.

"Mr. Chang Yufei once offered Mr. Lu Fei 800 million yuan for his dragon head, but Mr. Lu Fei was not willing to sell it."

"It's enough to show that the twelve zodiac animal heads are worth far more than 800 million knives."

"No matter how high it is, we have no basis for it."

"However, I think it should at least be based on the price given by Mr. Chang Yufei."

"So, I suggest that Mr. Yoshida Ohno's snake head should be valued at 800 million U.S. dollars."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Wang Zhenbang frowned upon hearing this.

"Mr. Bo John, you just said that Mr. Chang Yufei was negotiating with Lu Fei. I have also heard about it. It is true."

"But after all, it was just Mr. Chang's unilateral offer, and in the end there was no deal."

"I think it is completely unreasonable to value this snake head at this price."

"I agree with the $300 million estimate given by the referee."

"You can't say that!"

"When Chang Yufei negotiated with Mr. Lu Fei, many people were present to witness it."

"The price of $800 million is also the most sincere price given by Mr. Chang on behalf of Christie's."

"It turns out that Mr. Lu Fei didn't agree. As long as Mr. Lu Fei nods, Mr. Chang will definitely spend 800 million dollars to take back the dragon head on behalf of Christie's."

"Although there is no final deal, this is an indelible fact."

"I agree with Mr. Bojohn's opinion. The valuation of 800 million dollars is completely reasonable." Nagano Xiaofu said with certainty.

Kawasaki Furuyama was not willing to be alone and nodded in agreement with Bo John's point of view.

Guan Haishan insisted on his opinion, and the two sides argued endlessly.

"Mr. Holden and Mr. Bill, which reference do you think is more appropriate?" Guan Haishan asked.

Holden nodded and said.

\u003c

br\u003e “The opinions of the chief referee and Mr. Bojohn just now each have their own merits.”

"Let me talk about my understanding of this matter."

"Mr. Chang Yufei negotiated the price with Mr. Lu Fei. First of all, he represented Christie's."

"Collecting art from all over the world is indeed the business scope of Christie's."

"Christie's offered Mr. Lu Fei $800 million for the dragon head. This is an established fact."

"It's just that Mr. Lu Fei didn't sell it at that time."

"However, if one day that dragon head appears at any auction, the price Christie's once gave will definitely be a direct reference price."

"Below this price, it's difficult to make a deal."

"From a fair point of view, I prefer Mr. Bojohn's opinion."

Holden expressed his opinion, and the veterans below suddenly became nervous.

"It's over!"

“Isn’t that old brat Holden very close to Baolan Fei?”

"Why is he speaking for the little devil?"

"Could it be that he was also bribed by Yoshida Ohno?"

"There are seven referees in total, and it seems that at least four of them are on Yoshida Ohno's side. What a joke!"

"Damn it!"

"This is so unfair to Ragged Fly."

Yoshida Ohno was stunned for a moment when he heard Holden's point of view, then glanced at Lu Fei and smiled proudly.

Chang Yufei and Liu Laoer in the audience laughed even more wildly.

"Mr. Bill, tell me your opinion." Guan Haishan asked.

"I also agree with Mr. Horton's statement."

"However, Mr. Horton's opinion must be based on a premise."

"That's it, Chang Yu

Fei's conversation with Mr. Lu Fei at that time was on behalf of Christie's. "

"Only in this way can it have reference value."

"On the contrary, it can only be treated as a joke." Bill said.

"Mr. Bill is absolutely right."

"I noticed just now that Mr. Chang Yufei was also present."

"I suggest asking Mr. Chang Yufei to explain to everyone on the spot." Bo John said.

Guan Haishan nodded.

"Can!"

"Mr. Chang, please give me a rigorous answer. When you talked to Mr. Lu Fei at the Hong Kong Island Airport, did you represent you personally or on behalf of Christie's?" ??

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Chang Yufei stood up and said.

"I am the president of Christie's Asia, and of course I represent Christie's."

"Otherwise, I personally won't be able to come up with 800 million dollars."

"correct!"

"At that time, when I talked with Mr. Lu, it was also in the name of Christie's."

"I believe Mr. Lu Fei must be aware of this."

"Mr. Lu Fei, is Yu Fei right?"

Lu Fei glared at Chang Yufei with cold eyes, and the latter felt uncomfortable all over.

"Mr. Lu, it's only been less than three months, have you forgotten the content of our conversation?" Chang Yufei asked.

"certainly!"

"Of course I won't forget it!"

"Mr. Chang is right!"

"At that time, he did discuss business with me as the president of Christie's Asia."

"I can be sure of this." Lu Fei said.

"Thank you Mr. Lu Fei and Mr. Chang Yufei for your candor."

"However, I still think this snake head should be appraised based on the actual transaction price."

"Now everyone has different opinions. In order not to delay the conference process, I propose that our referee team vote by show of hands."

"Please raise your hands if you agree to value Mr. Yoshida Ohno's snake head at 800 million dollars."

After Guan Haishan finished speaking, except for him and Wang Zhenbang, the other five referees all raised their hands in agreement.

"Five to two passed!"

"Now I announce that the evaluation team gave Mr. Yoshida Ohno's zodiac snake head an estimated value of 800 million U.S. dollars."

"The rules of tonight's conference are calculated in Shenzhou coins."

"After conversion to an integer, the estimated value of this snake head is 5 billion Shenzhou coins."

"Mr. Yoshida Ohno, do you agree?"

Yoshida Ohno bowed slightly.

"Thanks to the impartial refereeing team, I am very satisfied with this valuation."

"Mr. Lu Fei, do you agree?"

"Mr. Lu Fei?"

"Do you agree?"

Lu Fei remained silent until Guan Haishan asked for the third time, then nodded.

"I have no opinion!"

Seeing Lu Fei's depressed expression, the backstage of the West District suddenly boiled.

"yes!"

"marvelous!"

“Yoshida’s idea of ​​using a snake’s head to lead the attack is really awesome.”

"That's right!"

"Lu Fei does have a lot of good things."

"But the dragon head in his hand has been donated to Gubo, so he can't match up in this round anyway."

"We will definitely win this first game."

"That's not all. If Lu Fei can't match up, he will have to pay $800 million in compensation for the price difference."

"The first game is worth 800 million dollars. According to this momentum, after fifteen games, we can make a lot of money just from the price difference compensation alone!"

"It's more than that!"

"Yoshida said, this first game is just a small test."

"The treasures behind are getting more and more powerful. We will definitely make a lot of money this time!"
