Chapter 64
Nowadays, Chinese antiques are not valuable. Europeans are not interested in Chinese antiques, and they cannot sell high prices at Christie's auction in the UK.
Due to the extreme lack of foreign exchange in mainland China, many urban friendship stores have antiques such as calligraphy and paintings of Ming and Qing dynasties, porcelain and mahogany seats and benches, and are named "crafts".
Overseas Chinese in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and foreign friends can buy them with foreign exchange coupons. They are taken abroad according to the invoice of crafts from Friendship Stores. The fine porcelain is only tens of thousands of yuan, and the rare calligraphy and paintings are hundreds of thousands of yuan.
A large number of Chinese antiques flowed into the Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Fuso markets. Their collection markets have limited tolerance, which greatly lowered the market prices.
I saw this incisively, and I wanted to squeeze the water out.
I want to make such a smart person as Lu Hang suffer a loss, let alone doors and windows.
Lu Hang took Crazy Tiger around and looked at them all downstairs and upstairs, and walked outside without saying a word.
Seeing that a big business was about to be ruined, the fat Manager Wang suddenly became anxious and winked at Mr. Chen beside him.
Mr. Chen immediately followed and asked, "Sen Lu, what is your impression of this French manor?"
"Yes, the decoration inside should be pushed back."
"Hehe... you really have vision, but our client is unwilling to sell the property separately. If so, the quotation will exceed HK$150 million."
"Then it will reach more than 70,000 per square meter, slightly higher than the market price."
"Sheng Lu, there is one thing you may not know:
Mr. Richard is a world-renowned collector of Chinese cultural relics. He not only lives in Hong Kong, but also has many fine Chinese antiques in his hometown in Scotland. These are all good things he has collected over the past decades.
Since the death of Mr. Richard Cruivet, Mr. Richard Cruivet has inherited all his heritage and collections, and the manor is rarely visited again.
Mr. Richard Cruivet and his family prefer to live in modern mansions and are not interested in Chinese antiques.
But I can guarantee:
More than 2,000 items here are all high-quality products, with a total value of no less than HK$150 million, and the bid price is already 30% lower. In addition, you will have a huge advantage in the manor property."
Lu Hang stopped and looked back at the French palace buildings in the sunset. It seemed to be coated with a light golden color under the sunset, with a thrilling beauty, luxurious and dignified and elegant.
There was no expression on his face, and he said with a faint expression:
"If the transaction can be completed, this will be the most expensive single property sold in Hong Kong this year, and we have to be careful to consider it.
What’s true or false about such a huge amount of antiques is, if you simply say that the market price is 150 million Hong Kong dollars, I’m afraid it means the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan markets.”
"Yes, Lu Sheng, we asked experts to carefully evaluate it. This value will only be high or low, and it will all be high-quality."
Lu Hang smiled with his mouth and showed his snow-white teeth. He pointed to the north with his hand and said, "I only need to spend more than ten days. I can't buy any antiques of Ming and Qing dynasties in the friendship store in the northern continent. It is cheaper than hundreds of yuan and tens of thousands of yuan. Even if I buy a house, I don't have much money. I have as much as I want. Why should I pay you high prices to buy these things?"
Well……
Mr. Chen, who has always been versatile, looked at the fat Manager Wang helplessly, saying that this question really cannot be answered.
Manager Wang quickly interrupted and said:
"Hahaha... Lu Sheng, your opinion is very insightful and reasonable. We will further communicate your opinions with the owner. However, you are about this property..."
"It feels pretty good, I just need to make a complete rectification."
"Okay, we will communicate with you in time. Can you please ask you to negotiate the intended price, which will be more conducive to promoting the transaction."
"Um……"
Lu Hang stood on the boulevard, gently rubbed his chin with one hand, and thought about it carefully and said:
"I agree with your first 110 million quotation for this property, and the second 150 million quotation is too high, and I cannot accept it.
The antique objects in this property require both parties to hire experts to conduct detailed evaluations and make correct judgments on their value.
I think:
Orphans and treasures that cannot be seen in mainland China can be estimated according to the market prices of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and then the transaction is appropriately discounted to reflect the appropriate discount for large-scale sales.
Some major goods, such as mahogany tables, benches, screens, porcelain, etc., are best priced according to the relevant estimates in the mainland.
This thing itself is not rare, so you can buy it in minutes when you travel to the mainland. Why do you need to spend more money?
I hope you can convey my opinion correctly to Mr. Richard Cruivet, and the final result will surely satisfy both parties."
Lu Hang said nothing, only expressing his interest in such expensive properties, and does not reveal the reserve price he can afford. Experts need to evaluate it in detail later.
Although Manager Wang was a little disappointed, he had been in real estate agency business for decades and attached great importance to the pertinent opinions put forward by Luhang, and was ready to communicate with the owners.
People in the upper class always have to reason, but this is the case. It seems that it is inevitable that the price will be reduced significantly.
As the owner of a famous real estate brokerage company in Hong Kong, Manager Wang's position is more inclined toward Huanya Company, which is due to interests.
During this period, several large-scale real estate store transactions have been completed, all of which are located in the golden locations of Central and Wan Chai, and real estate brokers have paid quite generous commissions.
In the sluggish real estate market in Hong Kong in 1988, there were not many buyers who bought shops in a large amount of money, and Huanya Company was one of them.
Yau Ma Tei
Lu Hang and Crazy Hu returned to the company one after another. Crazy Hu carried the packed food from a nearby restaurant in his hand and came to the chairman's office in the inner and outer jackets, and put the packaged food on the coffee table.
Lu Heng rested in the big bed in the suite in the office at night, and Crazy Tiger slept on the three-person sofa outside. Compared with the cramped space, it was much better to rent a house.
"You clean up the coffee table first, open a bottle of human head horse xo, and let's have a good drink later. I'll go to the bathroom to take a shower first."
"Hey, Brother Tiger, which one do you like today's luxury houses?"
"Haha, guess!"
"I definitely can't guess it. I asked me to buy all these places. Anyway, there are a lot of money. Will it be moldy to keep it at home?"
Lu Hang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, shook his head and walked towards the bathroom, leaving only a faint sentence: "Can the shop be used to collect rent. You only need one bed to sleep, can you buy so many real estate?"
"You can't say that. I heard that the red singer Wang Jie bought more than a dozen villas while the market is sluggish, waiting for appreciation. I don't believe that Hong Kong real estate can keep falling. Will millions of people go to Taiping Mountain to camp in Taiping Mountain?"
Lu Hang walked to the bathroom door, turned around and looked at Crazy Tiger in surprise, and nodded in praise when he saw his stubborn look, "It's great, it means he's willing to use his brain."
After saying that, he walked into the bathroom and closed the door casually. Soon, the sound of "rattle" water came.
"Hmph, I'm not a fool."
Crazy Tiger muttered privately and put the takeaway on the table.
Smelling the scent of the nose, he couldn't help but reach out and grab a large piece of fragrant braised goose and put it in his mouth to chew it. The burnt and strong goose meat and juice in his mouth flowed, making it so cool.
Well, it's delicious, let's have another one.
Twenty minutes later
Lu Hang, who had just finished taking a shower, sat on the side of the coffee table full of dishes, his black hair was still wet, and he looked refreshed.
He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of boiled broccoli and put it in his mouth. It only had a very light salty taste, which made it tasted poorly vegetarian soup.
Crazy Tiger looked at the fragrant braised goose in front of him, Hong Kong-style pork ribs, and tempting appetite-welcoming char siu pork and seafood platters, and there were a wide variety of delicious dishes.
I looked at the cold broccoli in front of Lu Hang, salt water boiled chicken breast and a plate of salad, and it felt particularly unpleasant.
"Brother Hang, there is no need to treat myself badly like this, this is too exaggerated."
“Isn’t that the way you lose weight?”
Crazy Tiger:???
As if reminded by Crazy Tiger, Lu Hang put down his chopsticks and weighed his weight next to him. He was a little dissatisfied and tutted his mouth and came back to sit down.
"Brother Hang, how much is it?"
"Oh, I haven't lost much. I'm still 70.3 kilograms, which has only been reduced by more than three pounds."
"It's less than a week since the game started weighing. Can you lose another 4.5 pounds in such a short time? I think the boss is really hard, and there is no trace of fat on your body. If you really can't do it, just play lightweight. I know the boss is very capable."
"No!"
Lu Hang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said with a serious expression:
"Under my current strength, even if I weaken three points after losing weight, it is enough to achieve the top five in the world in the featherweight category. Their opponents are mainly masters from Japan, South Korea and Takayama.
Compare them
My height and arm length have a significant advantage, and my footsteps are flexible enough, and there is no obvious weakness in the cooperation between fists and feet.
After intensive training by the judo masters in Fusang Kingdom, the fall skills, sleeping skills and joint skills will improve rapidly, and there will be no disadvantages in this regard.
But the lightweight level that is higher is completely different, with more fierce competition and facing challenges from Russians around the world, Poland, Romania and the United States.
My great advantage in the featherweight class will be drastically reduced when it comes to the lightweight class. Except for the obvious advantages in the pace and leg skills, all aspects seem moderate, and it is difficult to achieve good results.
If you are not careful, you may fall. This risk is too great."
Crazy Tiger put a large piece of char siu pork into her mouth and chewed it. The food was so sweet that she continued to say something disapproval:
"Brother Hang, you are so rich, there is no need to be too serious, Baoyu will not touch the tiles."
"Hehehe... This involves a long-term plan of mine, and you are also in it."
Lu Hang smiled sly and was eating vegetable salad leisurely. He knew that Crazy Tiger would not be able to help but ask, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well tonight.
"Oh, man, there is still my place?"
Crazy tiger's interest really came up. He used his hand to touch his greasy mouth, picked up the wine glass and touched Lu Hang for a while and said, "I didn't know it, Brother Hang wouldn't forget me. Let's hear what plan!"
"Crazy, you are different from others and are not interested in developing your business. Is there any problem?"
"Yeah, that's it."
"Min said that you are very talented in free fighting, especially with a pair of iron fists, he is very explosive. He is very interested in your future development, so he is willing to teach you this piece of uncensored jade himself."
