Chen Wanli had a headache. He didn't care if this was the birdcage used by Baylor.
He wanted to know how much this birdcage cost.
"I'll ask President Wei where he is."
Chen Wanli said and dialed Wei Cheng's number.
Not long after Wei Cheng arrived at the company, he received a call.
When he saw that it was Chen Wanli calling, he was a little excited. He thought that Chen Wanli had something good to hand over to their company for auction, but in the end, he asked him to help appraise something.
And it was Mr. Lin again.
He was lost.
Did he pick up something?
What was going on?
He had just returned from the Confucius Temple, so he should have lasted at most half an hour.
How did he get it again?
Were there so many good things in the old goods market of Confucius Temple?
At this time, Wei Cheng was already on the way. When he received the call again, he only said,"About ten minutes."
Then, he hung up.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hotel's parking lot. Wei Cheng did not rush upstairs. Instead, he took out his phone and looked at it.
He was looking at the auction records of the birdcage from the Qing Dynasty.
There weren't many records, just two.
He didn't think much of it.
Firstly, there would not be so many good things on the market.
Moreover, the old goods market in Confucius Temple was not as good as Chaotian Palace, so the probability of good things appearing was not that high.
Secondly, he had never come into contact with birdcages, so he had no idea what they were.
As far as he knew, the birdcage was not a valuable cultural relic.
However, when he saw these two auction records, he was a little dumbfounded.
"Is a birdcage that expensive?"
Although he was shocked, he still quickly memorized the two transaction records in his mind.
……
A few minutes later, the door of the private room opened. Wei Cheng came.
Seeing Wei Cheng, Chen Wanli greeted him warmly,""President Wei, I've troubled you to make another trip.”
"It's okay. I'm close."
Wei Cheng chuckled and saw the birdcage on the coffee table.
It looked good!
Exquisite!
Noble and overbearing!
He quickly compared the appearance of the birdcage in front of him with the two birdcages that were auctioned.
Chen Wanli and the others saw him staring at the birdcage and did not disturb him.
Wei Cheng looked at it for about five minutes and came to a conclusion in his heart. He said,"Good stuff!"
"President Wei, is this birdcage very expensive?" Xu Rushan asked.”
He didn't know either. He could use this opportunity to accumulate some experience for himself.
At least if they met again in the future, he would not have to say a word.
Wei Cheng nodded.”
"The full name of this birdcage is the Qing Emperor Qianlong Silk Enamel Parrot Cage. Because it's custom-made, every birdcage is different.”
"During the Qianlong period, this birdcage was an expensive luxury item that ordinary people could not touch.”
"Although it's a plaything, it doesn't mean that playthings are worthless. Birdcages are relatively rare in the cultural relics category, but there is one thing that is similar to birdcages in nature. You are definitely familiar with it.”
"Cricket jar!"
"You've come into contact with the cricket jars from the Ming Dynasty, right? That was also a toy, but was it cheap? It was not cheap at all. The treasure of the Evergreen Museum was a cricket jar from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty! Many of the museum wanted one but couldn't get it.”
"Therefore, although these things are playthings, it doesn't stop them from being valuable.”
Xu Rushan and the others suddenly realized that the cricket jar was no stranger to them.
With this comparison, they immediately had a new understanding of the birdcage.
"President Wei, give me an estimate."”
Wei Cheng said," A few years ago, a birdcage appeared in a small auction in Beijing. It was a Qing Dynasty cloisonné birdcage. It was auctioned without a reserve price. The final price was 710,000!”
"In addition, in 2007, Garde auctioned off that birdcage at a Paris auction. That birdcage had the same craftsmanship as this one, and the quality was similar. The final price was 2.04 million euros. Converted to RMB, 20.5 million!”
"T-twenty million?"
"A birdcage is worth 20 million?"
"This is a f * cking sky-high price birdcage!"
"Boss Lin can even pick up a bird!”
"I'm crying. Why are there antiques in a place that sells birds?”
He had thought that Lin Xiao would be eye-catching this time. Even if it was not eye-catching, it would not be too valuable.
In the end, Wei Cheng told them that there was a similar one that was sold at the auction house for 20 million!
They could not bear such a blow.
"However…" Wei Cheng changed the topic and said,"This birdcage lacks something."”
