Chapter 187 Golden Sword Handle
The moment Dong Chunfeng stood up, he lost his balance and swayed because he had been sitting for too long.
Huang Li hurriedly supported him.
He stood there for a while before he regained his composure and walked towards Hannibal in high spirits.
Hannibal was in a bad mood today. He hesitated and hesitated about whether to give up the golden hilt.
He would definitely be reluctant to transfer such a treasure, but if he didn't transfer it, he wouldn't be able to get through this stage...
After all, the most valuable thing in his hand, which could be sold for more than tens of millions of US dollars, was only this golden hilt.
When he saw Dong Chunfeng coming towards him, he was a little surprised, but at the same time, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
When Dong Chunfeng saw his expression, he sighed silently in his heart.
Usually in a transaction, whoever takes the initiative first loses the opportunity.
But the golden hilt was so precious that Dong Chunfeng didn't dare to gamble: he was afraid that the other party would sell it to another collector or museum first.
There was no choice but for him to come over first.
Hannibal also smiled and stood up on his own initiative.
With Huang Li translating, Dong Chunfeng and Hannibal were chatting happily.
But soon, Dong Chunfeng's expression became serious and he looked at Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun was observing the situation over there with Dong Chunfeng not far away. When she saw her master waving at her, she hurried over.
Dong Chunfeng pulled Xiao Yingchun aside and whispered about the situation.
It turned out that Hannibal wanted to sell the golden hilt because he needed some funds for his business. He needed 10 million US dollars to help his business transition smoothly.
But at the same time, he also took a fancy to a spear from another collector and wanted to buy it.
The other party offered 20 million US dollars, and wanted both - Hannibal had no money, so he could only consider offering the golden hilt.
In other words, Hannibal's golden hilt is sold for 30 million US dollars!
More than two hundred million yuan!
This is clearly an exorbitant price.
But the problem now is: if Dong Chunfeng doesn't want it, he plans to sell it to the museum.
If the golden hilt is really put into a museum, it will be extremely difficult to get it out.
Hannibal was obviously betting that Dong Chunfeng and his group were determined to get the golden hilt.
After more than a day of purchasing, Boguzhai only had more than 100 million yuan left to use. If it wanted more, it would have to find another way.
The two precious swords are to be auctioned, but the price is still unknown and Xiao Yingchun doesn't dare to say how much they can be sold for.
But Xiao Yingchun finally looked at Dong Chunfeng: "I will listen to Master."
This made Dong Chunfeng feel embarrassed.
He wanted to take the golden hilt, but that didn't mean he would do it at all costs...
After thinking for a while, Dong Chunfeng sighed and said, "I'll talk to someone else and get a better understanding of the situation from another perspective."
You need to stay calm when something big happens. The bigger the event, the less you can let the other party lead you.
Dong Chunfeng has been active in the collecting world for many years and already knows all the ins and outs of it.
So the two parties exchanged contact information and said goodbye.
On the way home after dinner, Dong Chunfeng and Huang Li kept contacting people, and even He Liangcong kept calling and texting people.
Once back at the hotel suite, the group met in the living room, summarized the information, and had a general idea of what was going on.
The spear that Hannibal had his eyes on belonged to another collector named Anthony. Anthony suddenly sent a message in the collecting circle today: he was going to sell several of his collections.
An insider revealed: He wanted to take pictures of the ancient sword with a white jade handle three days later.
Because he was unsure how much the ancient sword with a white jade handle would be sold for, Anthony was also urging Hannibal to make a decision as soon as possible.
If Hannibal gave up the spear, he was ready to transfer it to someone else.
Where does Hannibal get the money to buy a spear now?
He had no choice but to set his sights on Dong Chunfeng and his group and the museum.
However, based on the history of the Pali Museum, collectors estimated that the museum would not offer such a high price.
Normally, they can offer 10 million US dollars, which is the maximum.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Yingchun. The ancient sword with a white jade handle belonged to Xiao Yingchun.
If Xiao Yingchun is willing to exchange the ancient sword with a white jade handle for a golden hilt, maybe Hannibal would be willing to make the exchange?
He Liangcong was not so optimistic. He pondered and said, "Hannibal's business needs 10 million US dollars to fill the gap. This is what he needs most now."
"He doesn't want to be forced into bankruptcy auction, so he will prioritize getting cash to fill the gap."
If you were to exchange an ancient sword with a white jade handle and 10 million in cash for a golden hilt... the people present still felt it was too expensive.
Huang Li was the first to nod and agree: "I agree with what He Shao said."
The group discussed for a while and finally came to the conclusion: "Let He Liangcong and Huang Li contact Hannibal tomorrow."
Dong Chunfeng made the final decision: "If it really doesn't work, just give up first."
After all, there are too many cultural relics lost overseas, and it is unrealistic to bring them all back by one's own efforts.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their rooms.
However, Xiao Yingchun was thinking about the upgraded functions of the Space-Time Supermarket system, so after closing the doors and windows, she went to the Space-Time Supermarket without stopping.
Fu Chenan was waiting in the supermarket. When he saw Xiao Yingchun wearing a tube top with butterfly patterns, he was stunned again.
As expected, she went out wearing this skirt and put on makeup. She looked as pretty as a fairy... I feel a little sad, what should I do? !
Xiao Yingchun was obviously excited and pulled Fu Chenan: "Come with me!"
Before Fu Chenan could react, Xiao Yingchun pulled him up from the sofa and walked towards the back door.
"Oh..." Fu Chenan wanted to remind Xiao Yingchun that she was in Pali now and he couldn't go there!
But before he could finish his words, the scene changed and Fu Chenan appeared in a completely unfamiliar room!
Every detail of the furnishings and lighting in the room was telling Fu Chenan: This was not the Daliang Dynasty, nor was it any place he was familiar with before.
Fu Chenan had some guesses in his mind, and asked Xiao Yingchun in disbelief: "What am I doing..."
Xiao Yingchun nodded excitedly: "This is Pali! Inside the hotel!"
Fu Chenan looked around and realized, "Can I come here?"
"The Space-Time Supermarket has been upgraded?"
Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan excitedly: "It should be!"
Fu Chenan looked at the obviously excited Xiao Yingchun, and was happy after realizing it belatedly: "If you come out later, can I stay by your side?"
Xiao Yingchun thought for a moment and said, "It should be?"
"Can I follow you tomorrow?"
Xiao Yingchun looked at his makeup: He looks exactly like a handsome young man from ancient times... This is too eye-catching!
"It's midnight in Paris now, and the shopping malls are closed. I'll get you two sets of clothes tomorrow morning."
Fu Chenan nodded obediently: "Okay!"
Xiao Yingchun took Fu Chenan back to the Space-Time Supermarket.
Fu Chenan's breakfast was still on the coffee table. Xiao Yingchun urged him to eat breakfast first, and then considered what style of clothes to buy for him based on his height.
The most important thing is the shoes!
Fu Chenan has never bought modern shoes. What size is his?
Xiao Yingchun took out a tape measure to measure the length of his feet, and then checked what size shoes he needed...
After finishing the work, Xiao Yingchun reminded Fu Chenan of some precautions to avoid being exposed if he went there tomorrow, and then let Fu Chenan go back to work first.
Fu Chenan nodded obediently and agreed, her heart full of joy that Xiao Yingchun was about to take her over.
After leaving the Space-Time Supermarket, Fu Chenan began to think about today's work and worked hard so as not to be late for meeting Xiao Yingchun in the evening...
The golden hilt is a national treasure, but it is now in the British Museum...
The antiques and artworks in the pictures all exist in reality.
When used in the text, some changes will be made to the collection location and appearance method.
You don’t have to worry about the age, value, owner, or storage location... just enjoy watching it.
Love you guys!
