My system is not decent

It is the habit of supermarkets to place products within easy reach of customers, not the habit of antique shops.

Isn't it the habit of these bosses in the antique shop to put good things under their knees?

Of course, Chen Wenzhe didn't say this, he just wanted to know the prices of these two snuff bottles.

As long as the price isn't too outrageous, he'll take it.

"How much is this Liangzhou song?"

He casually put the Liangzhou opera in front of the boss.

This one must be Yunong's work, as for the other one, the author may not be who it is.

"This one?" The boss was a little puzzled, didn't he ask two quickly?

Glancing at the other one, the boss was also a little helpless, this one is not easy to sell!

"30 million!"

Chen Wenzhe was completely speechless, did he treat him like a pig?

You know, the entire development history of snuff bottles is only 200 years.

And this Yunong, surnamed Hou, was born in [-] if he remembered correctly, and he is only in his fifties now.

Although the internal painting technique is very good, but his small snuff bottle has not been sold for a sky-high price of 30, right?

If this is a representative work of Yunong, such as Baizitu or something, then the price is considered normal, even if it is a bit inflated, Chen Wenzhe can accept it, after all, it is a masterpiece.

However, although this Liangzhou opera is considered a high-quality work, it is not very famous, that is to say, it is not the author's masterpiece or famous work, so the price will definitely not be inflated.

"The price is too high. The works of modern masters are not so high."

"There must be. For example, the works of Master Wang Xisan. In 20, his Farewell My Concubine sold for more than 120 Hong Kong dollars. In 200, a piece of Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove sold for [-] Hong Kong dollars." Ten thousand, is it worth at least two million now?"

Chen Wenzhe smiled: "Why don't you talk about the set of portraits of past presidents? In 100, the value of a set of portraits of past presidents reached the price of 200 high-end bulletproof vehicles specially made to protect the president. It’s more than [-] million, right? Selling it for [-] million dollars is easy, right?”

"Don't say 200 million US dollars, even 500 million US dollars is easy." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth.

Chen Wenzhe laughed even harder: "That's 3000 million RMB, forty snuff bottles, how much is an average? 80?"

As he spoke, Chen Wenzhe put another snuff bottle of President Reagan in front of the boss.

The boss stopped talking. Chen Wenzhe had already made it so clear that if he continued to pretend to be confused, he would be humiliating himself and himself.

"Boss, let me tell you the real price. If the works of modern snuff bottle masters belong to Master Wang Xisan, I have no objection to giving 30, but Yunong's is a little bit worse."

"20, this is the lowest price, no lower price will be possible!"

Looking at the shopkeeper with a serious face, Chen Wenzhe felt a little funny, this is still a lion's mouth!

In this case, he didn't want to spend money on this work of Master Wang Xisan.

"These two items are 20 yuan. If you want, I can transfer the money now. If you don't want to, I'll leave right away." Chen Wenzhe said firmly.

The owner of the shop was a little surprised. He looked at the snuff bottle with the Liangzhou opera painted inside. There could be no problem with this one. He sold it according to Yunong's works, so there was no way he could steal it.

So is there another problem?There is always a reason why Chen Wenzhe favors him, right?

However, he is also very clear that the genuine inside-painted snuff bottle made by Wang Xisan for President Reagan is still hidden in a museum in Qilu Province!

This set of interior paintings is very famous, and there is a good story in the diplomatic history of the Republic on this set of interior paintings snuff bottles.

In 1984, before President Reagan of the beautiful country visited China, our comrades thought: "What kind of gift should we give? ?”

Finally, they thought of asking Wang Xisan, a master of interior painting, to draw a crystal interior painting snuff bottle with Reagan's portrait on it.

When President Reagan visited China, at the Shendu State Guesthouse, the comrades here agreed that Master Wang Xisan should present this gift to Reagan face to face, and invite him to watch the 38 American presidents before him painted by Master Wang. Time 15 minutes.

It's a pity that there are too many things to talk about between national leaders, and the time for face-to-face gifts and exchanges is squeezed out.

However, many of his entourage visited this set of snuff bottles.

After they saw it, they were all very surprised, and they all praised it.

In particular, a person who worked as a bodyguard for President Kennedy when he was young said: "I am very familiar with this president. When he was shot, I was by his side. Think of him."

The other pointed to the two cars parked in the courtyard, and said to Master Wang Xisan, "How about using these two cars for this work of yours?"

It was a high-end bulletproof vehicle specially designed by the Americans to protect the president by airlifting it over from the United States.

The person who spoke must be joking, how can he be the master of this?

Without waiting for Master Wang to answer, one of our comrades said: "How many cars of this kind have you produced?"

The other party answered 14 cars, and said how many cars were in Europe and how many cars were in Arbor, and there were only these two cars left in the beautiful country.

Our comrade also replied in a joking tone: "You drive all 14 cars, we can consider it."

That was obviously an impossible thing, tantamount to rejecting him.

I heard later that President Reagan liked this snuff bottle very much. According to regulations, he would hand over all gifts to the country, but he kept this gift after applying.

He thought it had his personal portrait on it, and it should belong to his personal collection.

And in 1987, at the economic and trade fair held in Bac Ha Province, an American businessman once offered 100 million US dollars to collect this set of works.

Since Mr. Wang Xisan has created nearly 2000 works, most of which have been exported abroad to earn foreign exchange, in order to preserve this set of masterpieces permanently, he did not agree to sell them.

Now this set of works has become the treasure of the Xisan Inner Painting Museum.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of snuff bottles should know about such a famous set of snuff bottles, because this set of snuff bottles is too valuable.

Now that Chen Wenzhe knew about it, wouldn't this boss who dealt with snuff bottles every day not know about it?

He must know, so he also knows that the snuff bottle of President Reagan in his hand cannot be real.

There are probably two genuine ones, one in the museum and the other in the hands of the Reagan family. It is impossible for his descendants to sell the portraits of their ancestors, right?

And even if it is sold, it will not come to the country quietly.

So, what the boss thought, he didn't want to understand.
