Since Cai Yi brought up this topic, Yang Jing naturally understood what he meant, so he smiled and asked, "Uncle Cai, if this bottle is entrusted to an auction house you know, how much do you think it can be sold for?"

What Yang Jing said meant that he wanted to give the bottle to Cai Yi to deal with instead of keeping it himself.

Although this bottle is valuable, it is not the top collection for Yang Jing, so Yang Jing plans to sell it. When he first returned home, he was so excited that he gave the two million pounds to his mother. As a result, Yang Jing now has little "pocket money" on him, so Yang Jing plans to sell this bottle so that he won't be so tight on money.

Cai Yi smiled and nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with Yang Jing's approach. After all, it was he who identified the bottle, and he personally removed the disguise on the bottle, allowing the bottle to finally appear in the world. Although he could not ask Yang Jing for the identification fee because of Mr. Yang and Wang Jiazan's father, if Yang Jing entrusted him with the bottle, then according to the rules of the industry, he provided the auction house with such a high-value auction item, and the auction house would eventually give him a certain percentage of the auction commission.

Considering that this bottle is likely to fetch an eight-digit price at auction, Cai Yi can earn tens of thousands of yuan in commission alone, which is more than his appraisal fee. Of course he is satisfied.

"Yangzi, we are a family and we should not have different opinions. Just as Professor Jianhua said, this bottle is larger than the Guan Er bottle that appeared in the Macau CITIC Autumn Auction last year, and this bottle is better preserved. If it is put up for auction at the China Guardian or Poly Spring Auction next year, as long as it is well promoted, it is not impossible for this bottle to be sold at a high price of 10 million. Of course, as for how much it will be sold for in the end, no one can guarantee it now, but this bottle is definitely worth 8 million."

After a pause, Cai Yi continued, "How about this. If you are in urgent need of money now, I can sign an agreement with you on behalf of China Guardian to temporarily buy this bottle for eight million. When it goes on auction next year, if it is sold at a higher price, then after deducting China Guardian's commission, the remaining money can be reimbursed to you. Of course, if it fails to sell or does not reach this price, then it will be considered that China Guardian bought your bottle for eight million. What do you think?"

Hearing Cai Yi say this, Yang Jing felt warm in his heart.

This is definitely one of our own, otherwise they would never offer such favorable terms. For general auction items, either the auction house directly buys them at a low price, or you wait for them to be auctioned. This kind of situation of buying first and then buying later will never happen. After all, the auction house is a serious profit-making organization, not a charity.

Cai Yi offered such conditions only for the sake of the face of Mr. Yang behind him. If it were someone else, such conditions would definitely not be offered.

Since he said so, Yang Jing certainly would not refuse his kindness. However, Yang Jing did not want to take advantage of this, so he said: "Uncle Cai, you offer such a condition that I really don't know what to say. Thank you for your kindness, but I cannot accept such a condition."

Hearing what Yang Jing said, Cai Yi's expression changed a little.

However, Yang Jing's subsequent explanation immediately made Cai Yi nod again in satisfaction.

"Uncle Cai, what I mean is that you should buy this bottle directly from me on behalf of China Guardian or Poly, at the price you mentioned, eight million. As for how much this bottle will be sold for at the spring auction next year, I don't care, and you don't have to make up the money for me later. The main reason is that I don't like trouble, and I plan to go abroad for a while next year, and I'm afraid I won't have time to come back by then. You can take this bottle for eight million."

As soon as Yang Jing said this, not only Cai Yi, but even the experts nodded with satisfaction. It was obvious that Yang Jing's words were recognized by everyone.

Cai Yi laughed and said, "Yang Zi, you are at a disadvantage by doing this! Let me tell you, if this bottle is put up for auction next year, there is basically no chance that it will fail to sell. The Qianlong blue and white five-bat-holding Shouguan ear bottle that is so well preserved is very rare in recent years, not to mention that this bottle is very likely from the collection of Mr. Wu Tianming. If this fact can be confirmed, the value of this bottle is definitely more than eight million. You sell it to me for eight million, aren't you afraid of losing out?"

Yang Jing said with a smile: "Uncle Cai, not to mention that this bottle was identified by you, and you personally restored the original appearance of this bottle to the world, just talking about your friendship with Uncle Wang and your relationship with Grandpa Yang, it is not bad to let you earn the extra money. Uncle Cai, let's just do it!"

"Okay! Since you said so, Uncle Cai is not an unreasonable person. If you have any questions about porcelain in China in the future, just come to me."

Yang Jing smiled and nodded, and the other experts all looked at the young man with smiles on their faces.

Cai Yi didn't hesitate and started to make a phone call in front of Yang Jing. After a while, a notification sounded on Cai Yi's phone. He clicked it and said with a smile, "When these guys heard that there was something good, they transferred the money very quickly. Yangzi, do you have an ICBC card? Tell me the card number and I will transfer the 8 million they just transferred to you."

Yang Jing said an ICBC card number, and Cai Yi operated it on his phone. After a while, Yang Jing's phone also received a notification sound, and after clicking it, he saw that a full 8 million yuan had been transferred to his card.

The next thing was to sign the agreement. The people present were all experienced people, and they were not short of such priceless ancient porcelain purchase and sale agreements. They took a copy and filled in the names of the buyer and seller, their ID numbers, the name of the porcelain being bought and sold, the transaction location, and the names and ID numbers of the witnesses. A formal purchase agreement was then completely completed.

Cai Yi brought a cardboard box filled with fine foam filling from another room, carefully placed the bottle into the box, and then put it into the safe in his office.

After finishing these tasks, Cai Yi looked at his watch and said with a smile: "It will be a while before we get off work, but no one can leave at noon today. Let's go to Donglaishun on Nanheyan Street to eat mutton hotpot. There is nothing to do in the office this afternoon, so let's have a good lunch!"

Professor Lv Chenglong said with a smile, "That's great. I've been craving for Donglaishun's mutton these past few days, and today I can take advantage of Xiao Yang's kindness. I have two bottles of Guojiao 1573 in my office, I'll take them later."

The other experts would certainly not refuse, so they made an appointment and left one after another.

PS: I would like to thank "Zi Yan Tian Jiao" for the reward of 500.

Also, two chapters will be released in a row today.
