"That's right, but I already know the seller, I know what it is, and I know that those things were sold by Master Qiu. I want to know their whereabouts."
Zhou Cheng felt that the two things were still different in nature.
The buyer related to the vase of Grandma Yu's house is covered with a veil of mystery. No, everything related to Xu Zhongyi's family is like this. It is unclear in the cloud, waiting for the day when the truth will be revealed.
And he just wanted to inquire about the things Yuan Han sold, so it was inconvenient to buy them back.
Unlike vases, the things Yuan Han sold flowed into the Hong Kong market from the mainland, and they were not particularly secretive. Xia Xiaolan even saw a Tianhuang seal auction with her own eyes, and now it is in Tang Yuanyue's hands!
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, please tell me, if it does not violate our business principles, I can still help with this little favor."
Du Zhaohui was very dissatisfied with Lord Qiu's attitude.
This is differential treatment.
Zhou Cheng can tell if he inquires about the news, but if he asks about a vase, he will repeatedly evade!
Why?
Do you want to look at your appearance when you inquire about news?
"Last winter, someone sold calligraphy, paintings, seals, and several ancient books at Boss Ding's pen and ink shop in Beijing. One of the seals was the Tianhuang Xiaoyin of 'Heavenly Official Blessing', which was bought by Hong Kong Yuhua Group Tang Yuanyue. I believe Master Qiu must have an impression of these things."
Lord Qiu nodded, "I have an impression."
Of course, he knows where the things sold by him are and who the specific buyers are.
However, Zhou Cheng was not the first person to inquire about these things. The first one is the people around Du Ershao.
Lord Qiu couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Zhou, you must contact me just for these few items. These shouldn't be stolen goods, right? Boss Ding of the pen and ink shop bought them legally."
"It can be said that it is stolen goods, or it can be said that it is not, because the victim has not reported the crime, and I can't handle it on my behalf, but it is a legal acquisition Don't tell me the joke."
Antiques can of course be traded.
Formal acquisition, does Boss Ding have the qualifications?
Selling to cultural relic stores opened by the state is a formal business.
The items in the state-run cultural relics stores will not be high-quality goods. They are cheap when ordinary people sell them, but expensive when they are sold in stores. The customers are originally aimed at foreigners who come to China.
Lord Qiu's business is not formal at all, it is not a high-quality goods, and will not appear in Hong Kong auctions.
The auction price often exceeds 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. What level of antique cultural relics does Master Qiu resell?
Du Zhaohui wanted to see Lord Qiu, but he ran many times to no avail. Zhou Cheng said that he was from the Zhou family in the capital, and Lord Qiu had to see him There is also a reason for this. No matter how simple Master Qiu is, his business will never see the light of day.
Lord Qiu didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhou Cheng either.
He knocked on the table, and after a while, someone brought a pen and paper, Master Qiu read one, and the other party wrote a name.
"Heavenly Official Blessed Tian Huang Seal, Yuhua Group Tang Yuanyue bought Qiu Ying's painting, Chengrong Group Du Zhaoji bought"
Du Zhaohui's ears immediately perked up.
Why did Zhou Cheng look for these things? Could it be that he was looking for them for Xia Xiaolan just like vases?
Tang Yuanyue has one there.
Tang Yuanyue must have not known about it, otherwise he would have sent it to please Xia Xiaolan long ago!
There is still a painting in Du Zhaoji's place, which is not easy to deal with. Du Zhaohui inexplicably expected Zhou Cheng to beat Du Zhaoji up and snatch the painting by force.
Lord Qiu made a list and pushed it in front of Zhou Cheng.
"We still have a bloodstone seal in our hand. The same batch of goods should be what Mr. Zhou is looking for. Since it is the 'stolen item' that Mr. Zhou wants to track down, we will return the original. Mr. Zhou can go to Boss Ding in three days. Take it back from the shop, as for the ones that have been sold"
Zhou Cheng cupped his hands, "Master Qiu, this is enough, it has already been sold, and I will not let Master Qiu bear the loss."
Zhou Cheng himself felt that things went very smoothly today.
This Master Qiu was more talkative than he had imagined, and it was an unexpected joy to get back a bloodstone seal.
Lord Qiu didn't mention how much the bloodstone seal cost, and Zhou Cheng didn't insist on paying it. Only by selling the Tianhuang seal to Tang Yuanyue, Lord Qiu had already earned back the total price of the batch several times.
Zhou Cheng learned from Boss Ding that Yuan Han sold a lot of things, but it was only 8,000 yuan!
Yuan Han may think it's a good deal. Selling the "tacky" calligraphy and paintings left by his ex-wife can make so much money, it's like picking up for nothing.
But now,How much are these things worth?
A Tianhuang seal, 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, was photographed by Tang Yuanyue.
A painting by Qiu Ying was bought by Du Zhaoji for HK$400,000.
Except for the unsold bloodstone seals, according to the list made by Mr. Qiu, these things were sold for a total of one million Hong Kong dollars. The most valuable are two paintings, one for 400,000 and the other for 250,000.
No wonder Ye Xiaoqiong refused to cooperate.
? His own family heirloom was sold by Yuan Han at a low price. If he wanted to buy it back from someone else, he would have to spend millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Where can Ye Xiaoqiong get this money?
If you don't do business yourself, with the income of ordinary office workers in Hong Kong, it is very difficult to save millions of Hong Kong dollars If you are not a company manager, you will have to save for 20 to 30 years without eating or drinking.
Twenty or thirty years later, so what if these things are still in the hands of today's buyers, and are they still selling for now?
Zhou Cheng cupped his hands, "Your business is booming!"
Not every business can make so much money.
The money earned will be divided into layers.
But Mr. Qiu, a big broker, did make a lot of money.
No wonder Lord Qiu met Zhou Cheng so readily. Even if this kind of business is forced to stop for a while, I don't know how much money will be lost. Look at the things of Ye Xiaoqiong's house. In such a short period of time, some people have been exiled to Southeast Asia and other places¡ª¡ªQiu Master's sales network has exceeded Zhou Cheng's original expectations.
"It's good that Mr. Zhou is satisfied. If you want me to help, I can only help so far. To be honest, people in our business don't really want to deal with people like you, Mr. Zhou."
Master Qiu's words were straightforward, Zhou Cheng understood very well.
"Understood, Lord Qiu helped me a lot, and I won't bother you again. Thank you so much."
The two reached a tacit agreement.
Du Zhaohui was in a fog.
No, Master Qiu became so talkative as soon as he met Zhou Cheng. Could it be that in Master Qiu's eyes, Zhou Cheng is the only one who counts, and he doesn't want any face with his surname Du?
Before Du Zhaohui could speak, Master Qiu had already stood up, "Excuse Mr. Qiu's poor hospitality. It's getting late and the sea breeze is strong. Mr. Qiu will send you two away."
Lord Qiu coughed twice. On the deck of the dangling fishing boat, his figure was indeed too thin.
It seems that the body is not in good health.
Even Du Zhaohui ate a bunch of shrimp and crab shells just now, but Lord Qiu seemed to eat very little.
There was another boat coming, Master Qiu got on the boat and left, Du Zhaohui finally remembered to pat the table, "He just left?"
Zhou Cheng glanced at him, "Otherwise, I still want to treat you to supper?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
