While saying that the things were expensive, he also said that he was following the previous agreement and not bargaining. What is this guy playing?

"I know you are estimating the price you quoted at Christie's in 2009 when you auction rabbits and rats, right?" Jian'er did not answer Grandet's question, but asked instead.

Grandet nodded. To be honest, he is not very good at these antiques in the East. If it were their Western, even if it was not their F-Chinese antiques, Grandet was not proficient in them. However, for the East, except for the auction price information he had, Grandet really didn't know how to price the most suitable.

"Then do you know the final auction price in the end?" Jian'er continued to ask.

"Ms. 31.59 million euros. In this way, a head like this requires a woman. 10,000 euros. This is much higher than my previous offer." Grandet stretched out his hand and slapped it gently on the Dragon and Snake Road, "Look, my offer is still quite sincere, right?"

"I'm still sincere, I'm indifferent!" Jian'er sneer said.

Grandet's face changed, and when he was about to say something, Jane stretched out her hand and stopped him: "Don't worry, what if I finish talking?"

"Okay, you say it!" Grandet tied his hand with an expression of looking at what Jian'er wanted.

"You're just talking about rats and rabbits. Do you know the price of the other beasts?" Jian'er asked.

"I would like to hear the details." Grandet said.

"The three coppers of cows, tigers and monkeys were not sold by Poly Group for 70,000, 140,000, and 740,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong in 2000. The horses were sold for 6910,000 Hong Kong dollars and donated to the country by its buyer, Mr. He, the gambling king of Macau. The pigs were purchased for only 60,000 RmB in a public welfare transfer..." Every time Jian'er said, Grandet's face became ugly. No wonder Jian'er said that the price he quoted was high. If calculated in this way, the price he quoted was not just high, but it was simply a sweeping high price to kill money. He also quoted this price in vain. Now it seems that he is not "generous" and this is just a lion's big talk.

Grandet was already a little regretful at this time, because although in recent years, the East, especially the antiques and cultural relics in China, were very popular in auctions, many times the prices were hyped up by international speculators. They bought or auctioned these antique civilizations in China, but often did not because they liked them, but simply wanted to raise the prices and then "put" them to the people of China, thus taking more money from the pockets of those people of China in disguise.

The collectors who can buy things in Grandet’s treasure house are different, because only regular customers can bring regular customers. For their own interests in the future, many times, these familiar introducers are very cautious. Moreover, because Grandet’s quotations have always been high, sometimes even half the market price is 10% higher than the market price. In this way, if you want to "purchase" Grandet, you will definitely not have to think about it. Except for someone with special purposes, only those who are not short of money and only take action for their loved ones, they will enter Grandet’s treasure house to select their favorite antiques.

In Grandet's circle, such people have always been European and American people, and it goes without saying what these people appreciate. Even if there are some people who like Z antiques, they usually like exquisite objects such as calligraphy and painting, porcelain, etc., and people like copper, after all, are niches in the West, and when they are spread here, they are unique. Even if there are one or two people, when facing the treasure house, which belongs to their own country, or more extensive, and belongs to their Western art, this copper is usually the one that will be abandoned.

In this way, the status of this copper is embarrassing. The price is low. Grandet is never willing to accept it. If the price is suitable, no one will buy it. According to this calculation, if this transaction is not successful, Grandet is not sure whether these two things that seem very valuable can still be sold. Grandet was embarrassed for a moment.

"By the way, Mr. Grandet, do you know what happened to the last two coppers sold for more than 30 million euros?" Noting Grandet's entanglement, Jane took the hot iron and continued to ask.

Grandet shook his head. He was not particularly interested in these oriental things. If it weren't for the fact that there were two bronze guys in his treasure house, he wouldn't have paid attention to the transaction price of these two things, let alone pay attention to its follow-up. So Grandet really didn't know about Jian'er's problem.

"The two bronze roads were photographed by Cai Ming, a consultant for the collection of special fund for rescuing lost overseas cultural relics in my country. However, although Cai Ming took photos of the Old Summer Palace rabbit and rat in Paris, France for a total of 31.49 million euros, but..." Jian'er showed a smile that looked like a prank. "Later he did not pay the final payment. Since he had not paid yet, I later said at the press conference: 'I won't pay. Under such circumstances, every Z person would stand up, and I just fulfilled my responsibilities.' And according to a later report by AFP, the Bronze Statue of the Old Summer Palace was rumored to have taken the rat and rabbit. He had no money to pay for the two bronze statues."

Grandet was shocked. Jane's words were like the last straw that pressed against a camel, which made Grandet's heart feel cold. It seemed that she was no longer just expressing her feelings this time.

"That, my noble lady, I..." Grandet opened his mouth several times, but could not express his words in his heart.

He can't say that he doesn't know these oriental antiques. So he keeps and maintains them according to the maintenance method of their Western antiques. And the price is also calculated according to the transaction price at the auction. Anyway, everyone knows that his things have always been a combination of "expensive and good". So this price is usually acceptable at the market transaction price. But if calculated based on the price he just made...
