MTL - Treasure Hunt America-Chapter 68 want to put down roots in manhattan
Ask for collection, ask for recommendation. . . .
****************
Fang Bo looked at Jin Muchen's eyes with a hint of anger.
And Jin Muchen lowered his head a little ashamed.
"Mu Chen, you must know that for antique collectors, such a bowl is a treasure that can be met but not sought after! Even if you read countless treasures in your life, you may not be able to really get one of these treasures! ?"
Fang Bo said with some heartache, but this time Jin Muchen raised his head and his eyes became very firm.
"Yes, Uncle Fang, I know, but look at my current conditions, is it suitable to collect such treasures? I am just an entry-level antique dealer, not even an antique collector. The bowl is indeed a national treasure, but as you know, the current situation of my family really requires money. On the other hand, I have recently wondered if I should settle down in the United States and bring my parents over from China. Well, it all costs money."
Jin Muchen can tell the truth this time. After Fang Bo listened to it, he did not object, but fell into deep thought.
Before the family's capital chain was in trouble, Jin Muchen had sent back more than 200,000 US dollars one after another, but every time he called his mother, the mother was hesitant and did not tell him in detail. The situation at home, so Jin Muchen estimated that there should be a lot of trouble at home, and there should be a certain gap in money.
On the other hand, he is now an entry-level antique dealer, not a player, and there are indeed a lot of treasures in the United States, but you may not be able to pick them up every time, there are always times when you need to spend money to buy them.
And antiques are different from other commodities. They are often hundreds of thousands or millions of transactions. In the future, maybe he will use money for good things. He can't borrow money from others, or do business Did you miss it?
Another point is that he has long been pondering that he will open an antique shop by himself after he leaves his apprenticeship.
If you want to play with antiques in the future, you can't just get in and out. You have to find a living for yourself, right?
After he entered the business for a period of time, through his own study and comparison, he felt that in the antique business, it is best to open a shop in Manhattan, after all, that is the closest place to real high-end customers.
So he has long thought that if one day he has money, he must buy a house and open a shop in Manhattan.
He has lived and grown up in the city since he was a child, and he has never had the idea of buying a country house in the beautiful and elegant countryside of America.
Before, he also read a lot of YY American novels on a YY website in China. The routine is usually to buy a big villa in the countryside, or open a big farm or something, and live a happy life.
When I read such novels at that time, he just laughed it off, but he was just a writer who lived in the city all day, in YY, if you really got him to live in the big rural areas of the United States for a while, don't worry Speaking of one year, I'm afraid it's just one month, and he can't take it anymore.
The big farms in the United States have a really good environment, but it is exactly what the saying goes, good mountains, good water, and so boring.
If he were to live on a suburban farm with a few square miles around him, where he would have to drive more than an hour to buy toilet paper, he would be insane in less than a week.
Therefore, compared to the quiet countryside, he still prefers densely populated cities, and the core area of New York is Manhattan, but the housing prices in that place are not cheap at all, the best location, even the housing price is higher than the five @ Road in the center of the universe @mouth is not much different.
An apartment building of 200 to 300 square meters can easily cost 18 million US dollars, which is definitely not what he can afford now.
But if this bowl can be successfully auctioned, it will be different. In an instant, he can go from a millionaire to a multi-millionaire.
When the time comes to take root in Manhattan, buy a house and open a store, that's not a big deal!
"Well, I also understand what you think. I really didn't think about it that much before. You can buy it if you want. After all, such a national treasure-level collection should not be stored in the hands of us. If it is known, it is inevitable that some people will have bad thoughts."
Fang Bo also figured out this matter at this time, and he no longer said any objections.
"but..."
"Hey, Uncle Fang, don't worry, since this bowl is in my hands, I will definitely not sell it to those foreign devils. I must find a way to bring it back to China, or at least let the domestic Collectors come to collect this bowl."
As soon as Fang Bo opened his mouth, Jin Muchen knew what he meant.
It is true that such a national treasure has been wandering overseas for so many years, and it is time to let it go home and let the people of the motherland get to know him well.
The significance of such a bowl appearing in a certain museum in China is that it is far from being a powerful country, and it is treasured by this group of foreign collectors.
"Well, if you can think this way, that's fine. Well, let me contact you with the buyer. It is estimated that such a treasure can be endured by the last boss Wang. I think other people, even if they want to buy it. , is also powerless. Although we want this bowl to return to China, we can't do it for nothing, right?"
At this time Fang Bo laughed, Jin Muchen seemed to have seen the dark-hearted Fang Bo that day.
"By the way, do you want to sell all of your other things together?"
Uncle Fang remembered the other bottles and pieces of jade that Jin Muchen brought back today.
Jin Muchen nodded: "Well, sell all of them, not a single one."
Now he is full of houses in Manhattan, houses are not enough, and shops?
Although Manhattan is the essence of New York, it is not a good place for the whole island.
Anyone who's lived in Manhattan probably doesn't like going to Harlem, or places like Washington Heights.
Harlem is located in Manhattan, but the reputation of that place is no different from that of Brooklyn. It is a notorious black neighborhood and a place where crime is rampant.
So if you want to live well and do business in Manhattan, it's best to stay away from places like that.
And decent places, such as Shang@cheng@ district, or SOHO district, these are famous areas with high housing prices, so at this time he was thinking, the more money he has, the better.
Even the national treasure-level gold fixer is no longer kept. What's the use of keeping those few bottles, it would be better to sell them all at once.
"Okay, then I'll contact that Mr. Wang first to see if he's still in the United States. Can one person eat so many good things? If not, I'll contact other people. If it doesn't work, I can only Find a way to transport these things to Xiangjiang, or shoot them in China, it will be more troublesome and the cycle will be very long.”
Fang Bo said that he picked up the phone, and Jin Muchen nodded.
"It's okay, Uncle Fang, I can wait."
Unfortunately, this time, Uncle Fang called, but Mr. Wang didn't rush to pick it up. After calling twice, Uncle Fang could only helplessly put down the phone and call again tomorrow.
A few treasures were locked in the downstairs safe first.
The next day, Jin Muchen got up and called Candace first, but Candace didn't answer. Jin Muchen had no choice but to wait for the afternoon, or at night, to find a time to meet Candace in person. Then explain it to her.
After dinner in the morning, Fang Bo finally got in touch with Mr. Wang.
Briefly tell Mr. Wang about the situation here. That Mr. Wang is really very interested, especially after hearing that Fang Bo actually received a national treasure this time, Mr. Wang is even more anxious. Can't sit still.
However, he is currently in the country, and he still has some official duties. Even if he thinks about it, it is not so fast, so he made an appointment with Uncle Fang to keep it for him, and when it is Christmas, he will come over to collect it together.
Just over a month before Christmas, Uncle Fang agreed.
There are not many customers in the antique shop in the morning. This is how the antique business is. You have to endure the loneliness, because the ancestors of this business have long concluded that it will not open for three years, and it will be open for three years. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
In the afternoon, Jin Muchen and Fang Bo said hello and went to the distribution center.
After all, he and John have already resigned from the job, and there are still some formalities to be dealt with, especially some of the tooling that was distributed to him before, to be sent back.
He appeared at the gate of the distribution center on time at two o'clock in the afternoon, and several familiar workers greeted him as they watched him drive over.
"WTF, Mu Chen, what have you been doing lately? You have made a fortune? Even Infiniti is running? Damn it! I already knew that you are not simple, tell me honestly, what exactly does your family do? Is it the Celestial Dynasty? The red noble?"
Paul was the first to run over, and as soon as he came up, he put his arms around Jin Muchen's shoulder and asked with a blushing expression.
Jin Muchen was used to this guy's open mouth for a long time, and was not angry at all.
"Come on? If my family is a red noble, I still need to come here as a porter?"
"Hey, who knows what's wrong with you gangsters, anyway, I know that you rich people will have some quirks of one kind or another..."
Paul smiled and said to Jin Muchen, who shook his head.
"Where's John? I'm looking for him."
"It's in the office over there. John seems very unhappy that you're leaving. Come on, remember to come out together when you're free, Happy!"
"Don't worry, it definitely will."
Jin Muchen smiled and pushed Paul away and walked towards the simple office made of containers.
