In addition to the oracle bone inscriptions on the deer skull, another oracle bone inscription on the ox shoulder blade also gave Chen Feng a strong attraction.
So, Chen Feng took Tong Yongkang to the cow shoulder blade and asked him to explain to himself the general content recorded on it.
This time Tong Yongkang quickly gave the answer. The above records are about hunting, which is to predict the good or bad luck of the hunting.
According to Tong Yongkang, a complete oracle bone inscription has four parts: narrative, destiny, fortune-telling and verification. What time? who? What questions to ask? What is the result of divination? Finally, when the matter is completed, a verification statement must be engraved to verify the result of the matter.
Unfortunately, the oracle bone inscriptions on the ox shoulder blade are not complete. It only records about one-third of the content. The narrative is missing. The fortune-telling and fortune-telling words are not very complete, and there is no verification word.
But even so, Chen Feng could feel the huge energy contained in it.
Although it is not the oracle bone inscription that resembles a deer skull that Chen Feng wants most, there is no doubt that if he can get it, Chen Feng will be happy for a long time.
Except for these two pieces, not every piece of the other oracle bones contains energy.
Chen Feng looked at the display cabinets one by one and made a rough calculation. There were about 120 or 30 oracle bones here, but at least half of them did not contain energy.
I don’t know if these powerless oracles are fake, or if the original energy has been lost due to some unknown reason.
Except for the two pieces that brought Chen Feng the most attraction before, the rest contained less energy than the four oracle bones he had before.
But even so, it is much better than the art works Chen Feng collected before.
The one with the lowest energy content should be enough for him to smoke for ten and a half days.
So, if he can get all the oracle bones that can be used here, he will not have to worry about it for at least several years in the future.
After looking at every oracle bone inscription in these display cabinets, Chen Feng looked directly at Tang Xingfa and said: "Mr. Tang, I am very interested in the oracle bone inscriptions you have here. Do you think you can part with them? What's the price?" It’s easy to talk about.”
Tang Xingfa looked at Chen Feng in surprise.
When Hu Shilong introduced Chen Feng before, he only said that Chen Feng is the boss of Fengmang Film and Television Company, and has produced hit dramas such as "The Sapphire Case" and "Flying Flowers".
Unfortunately, the old man has no impression of these two ancient puppet shows and is not very interested in them.
So, in Tang Xingfa's opinion, Chen Feng was probably Hu Shilong's ordinary friend and came to join in the fun.
I didn’t expect that Chen Feng would buy his collection as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tang Xingfa looked at Hu Shilong, his eyes telling him what was going on?
Hu Shilong immediately said with a smile: "This friend of mine is very interested in oracle bone inscriptions. This time I brought him to your place to see the oracle bone inscriptions. If Mr. Tang, you are willing to give up your love and sell him some, It couldn't be better. "
The meaning behind his words is more obvious. Chen Feng is a friend he values and hopes that Mr. Tang will give him face.
Hearing this, Tang Xingfa looked troubled for a while and then said: "Well, for Shilong's sake, I will sell you two pieces. However, you have to remove the oracle bone inscription on the deer skull, and That beef shoulder You can choose the other pieces of oracle bones as you please.”
Chen Feng was a little disappointed when he heard that he would sell two pieces, but he still accepted it, because the two pieces of oracle bones here were the most important to him. .
As a result, Tang Xingfa changed the topic and said that besides these two pieces of oracle bone inscriptions, Chen Feng was immediately disappointed.
At this time, the divine fortune teller Ji Hongsheng immediately said: "Brother Tang, you can't do this. Why do you want other than these two pieces? Mr. Chen came to buy it very sincerely, and said It’s easy to tell the price, you It's not good to reject people thousands of miles away like this."
When Tang Xing found that Ji Hongsheng actually stood up for Chen Feng, and even called Chen Feng "sir" politely, he immediately understood that Chen Feng should be more than just the boss of a film and television company.
At the same time, he also found that Hu Shilong's face was a little ugly.
This is understandable. Hu Shilong boasted about Haikou before bringing Chen Feng here, saying that he could guarantee that Chen Feng could buy at least a few pieces. As a result, Tang Xingfa was only willing to sell Chen Feng two pieces, and he had to exclude the two pieces of oracle bones that looked like high-quality pieces. Isn't this a slap in the face?
For a veteran like Tang Xingfa, his ability to observe words and emotions is first-rate.
Based on the attitudes of Hu Shilong and Ji Hongsheng towards Chen Feng, he immediately explained helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to sell these two pieces of oracle bone inscriptions, but that these two pieces are very rare and high-quality products. The relevant units have always wanted to sell them." They asked me to hand it in, but I kept resisting and refused to hand it in. In the end, they had no choice but to let me have it specially made for these two oracle bones. Register, and warned me not to sell it to others, otherwise I will be legally responsible. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, I cannot sell these two special oracle bones."
Chen Feng said immediately: "If it is just. If I can buy two pieces, I hope it will be these two pieces. Mr. Tang, can you think of a way? The price is really easy. It can be 20% higher than the market price."
When Hu Shilong heard this, he immediately waved his hand proudly and said: "Since my friend likes it, you agreed. If there is any problem, I will help you solve it. "
Ji Hongsheng also immediately said: "Brother Tang, since you know that I am a fortune teller, you should have heard of me. Without the introduction of friends and the guarantee of an intermediary, it would be impossible for me to tell people's fortunes. If Shilong had not happened to bring me to your house this time, it would not have been so easy for you to invite me. If you give up these two pieces of oracle bones that Mr. Chen likes, I can promise to tell your fortune twice for free, including this time.”
The implication of Ji Hongsheng's words was that if Tang Xingfa didn't agree, he wouldn't tell the other party's fortune.
As soon as Tang Xingfa heard what he said, he felt pressure instantly.
He really needs Ji Hongsheng's help in fortune telling this time. This is related to a major event in his precious grandson's life, and is also related to the rise and fall of their old Tang family in the next few decades.
Therefore, after Tang Xingfa hesitated for a while, he looked reluctant to give up, gritted his teeth and clapped his hands, and said: "Okay, okay, since Boss Chen is interested in these two pieces of fine oracle bones, why not With Shilong as a guarantee and the divine fortune teller interceding, I agreed."
He sold three points of favor in one fell swoop.
However, Chen Feng really wanted to accept his love this time. Because these two oracle bones were of great use to him, especially the deer skull oracle bone, it might even cure his cancer.
So, Chen Feng said solemnly: "Thank you very much. I really like these two pieces of oracle bone inscriptions. Thank you for parting with me. If there are any legal problems, I can take responsibility."
Hu Shilong He immediately said generously: "You don't need to worry about this. If there is any problem, I will help Mr. Tang solve it together."
Tang Xingfa also nodded in agreement.
In fact, he can solve this so-called legal problem by himself, otherwise he would not have been able to resist handing it over in the first place. You can't stand up to ordinary people, but they can teach you how to behave in minutes.
As a well-known collector, it is impossible to become famous if you do not have some connections and strength background.
"Then I'm not polite. You can tell me the price."
Chen Feng directly asked the other party to bid. Tang Xingfa was also unambiguous and directly raised his hand to gesture towards Chen Feng.
Seeing this, Chen Feng asked tentatively: "Five million."
After Tang Xingfa was stunned for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "When the relevant departments asked me to hand it over more than ten years ago, I was willing to pay 6 million, but I didn’t agree. Later, some people were interested in these two pieces, and the highest prices were over 40 million, but I didn’t sell them.”
"Fifty million?" Hu Shilong frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Tang, your price is a bit high. I remember that an oracle bone was auctioned at the auction in Shanghai before. It was a relatively complete ox shoulder blade, at least higher than yours." The piece here is larger and has more text, and it sold for more than eight million yuan in the end."
Ji Hongsheng also commented: "Yeah, the price is a bit outrageous. Even if these two pieces are high-quality products, they shouldn't be so expensive."
Tang Xingfa was not angry, but patiently explained: "This piece of beef shoulder blade is indeed worth at most It's worth eight to nine million, but this deer skull is the best of the best and is very rare. I also asked someone from the auction house to estimate the value before, and they said The lowest price is 40 million, and if you are lucky, you may even get over 100 million. Therefore, my price of 50 million is really not expensive, and it is already a friendly price.”
At this time, there was no price. Tong Yongkang said, "Although there are few oracle bones on deer skulls, they are not very rare. I have seen one before, and it is more complete in appearance than yours." Some. Later, he sold it for just over one million U.S. dollars, equivalent to less than 10 million in our national currency. Of course, that was five or six years ago, so even if there is a premium now, it should not have increased so much. "More."
Hearing this, Tang Xingfa became a little unhappy and frowned: "Are you saying that I made an arbitrary price and lied?"
Tong Yongkang said seriously: "That's not what I meant. Maybe the people at the auction house made a wrong estimate at the time."
Hu Shilong also said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you can't use the auction house's price to set the price. We all know that auction houses Some things are in deep water, and things that were originally worth only one yuan can be auctioned for one hundred yuan, or even one thousand yuan."
Tang Xingfa felt the pressure again, thinking what the hell is this Chen Feng. Why did Hu Shilong support him so strongly?
"Boss Chen, tell yourself, how much are you willing to pay for these two oracle bones?"
Tang Xingfa directly put the question to Chen Feng, the buyer.
Chen Feng can actually accept the price of 50 million. After all, money is really just a number to him, not to mention that spending this money can save lives. As long as he absorbs the energy in the deer skull oracle bone, there is a high probability that can cure his terminal illness.
So, is 50 million expensive? For Chen Feng now, it's really not that expensive.
However, Hu Shilong and the three of them helped him lower the price, so of course it was not easy for him to hold back. After thinking about it, he tried to bid: "How about 30 million?"
< br>Tang Xingfa couldn't help but twitching when he heard the price. He originally thought that even if the other party negotiated the price, it would only be reduced to 40 million, but it was actually reduced to 30 million.
Hu Shilong said immediately: "I think this price is very reasonable, 30 million, Mr. Tang, I think this is the price. After all, when you bought it, it only cost a few dozen yuan. Or just buy it by the pound, a few dollars per pound. If you sell it at this price, you have already made a lot of money.”
"How could you buy it by the pound?" Tang Xingfa immediately loudly denied, "I exchanged this deer skull from another collector by chance more than 20 years ago. I used a famous tea kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time. The tea cup was worth at least several hundred thousand at that time, but now it is worth twenty to thirty million."
Ji Hongsheng immediately said: "Then Mr. Chen's repayment of thirty million. The price is very reasonable."
Tong Yongkang also nodded and agreed: "The price is very suitable."
Tang Xingfa shook his head and said: "Thirty million is a bit low, forty million is a bit low. Well, this is really a reasonable price. I will pay the tax when the time comes. The tax is not low."
Chen Feng asked: "How much tax will it cost?"
< br>
Tang Xingfa said: "When we trade in the name of the company, we will probably have to pay 20% tax. Forty million yuan is about eight million tax."
Hu Shilong curled his lips and said: "This cultural relics transaction, According to industry regulations, the seller pays the tax. "
Tang Xingfa argued: "That's right, but if I pay the tax for the price of 30 million, I can only get more than 20 million. , I really can't sell it."
Chen Feng didn't bother to bargain with him anymore, and said directly: "Okay, then 40 million."
"Happy!" Tang Xingfa pointed directly at Chen Feng. He gave a thumbs up and said happily, "That's it. I'll have someone print out the contract and send it over later, and you can just ask your company to transfer the money."
"Okay, then hurry up."
Ji Hongsheng suddenly said: "Brother Tang, you see Mr. Chen is so grand, how about you be more grand and put two oracle bones as gifts?"
Tang Xingfa looked at Ji Hongsheng speechlessly and said to himself, do you think this is buying vegetables, and I gave you two green onions?
Chen Feng gave Ji Hongsheng an appreciative look, which made the latter very happy.
"Mr. Tang, do you think you would like to sell me a few oracle bones for five hundred thousand a piece?"
"No, no, no." Tang Xingfa shook his head repeatedly, "I sold you the two best pieces, and I don't plan to sell the worse ones anymore."
Hu Shilong smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, Since you have sold the best ones, what’s the point of keeping the bad ones? You might as well sell them too.” Wan, you let me from inside What do you think about choosing fifty pieces of oracle bones?"
Tang Xingfa was stunned for a moment, and then he thought in a deep voice, "Let's do this. You only need to pay a total price of 120 million. All these oracle bones are included in the package for you."
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and shook his head slowly: "The price is a bit high. If it is 80 million, I will cover it all."
"Eighty million is too little, the minimum is 110 million."
"The most I can offer is 80 million."
"You are not sincere."
" If you don’t sell it for 80 million, there is nothing I can do.”
Tang Xingfa tried to bargain, but Chen Feng refused to let go.
It wasn't that Chen Feng suddenly cared about money, but that he suddenly realized that the old man was cunning and dishonest. If he agreed to the other party's offer without thinking, the other party might feel that he had lost money by selling the two fine oracle bones.
So, before actually getting those two high-quality Oracles, Chen Feng would not act too stupid and have too much money. (End of this chapter)
