Will suffered a loss this time and will definitely hold a grudge and come after her.
She stared at him and came looking for him !
The auction house then turned up full of items from other countries, none of which interested her.
At noon, I took Fang Jizong to eat hamburgers and fried chicken. After resting for a while, we headed straight to the next auction!
At the Locke auction, she did see something interesting.
The Peking opera costumes from the Republic of China period are not very old, and they still have headgear. The previous owner of this costume should have been a famous actor. The small pearls on the headgear are round and bright white. The big beads on it are as big as longan, which are also real. The peacock feathers on the temples are made of white marble and jade. The innermost layer, which is close to the scalp, is also decorated with jadeite, and the color is bright, just like a real peacock spreading its tail.
The costumes are also very famous. The silk is the best Hangzhou silk, and the embroidery all over is Suzhou embroidery. Just the two sleeves of the costumes would take two embroiderers from Suzhou and Hangzhou one or two months of sleepless nights to embroider!
The point is not the age, but the gorgeousness!
The starting price was US$500,000, and she bought it for US$2 million.
When the foreigners heard that it was from the Republic of China, they all curled their lips. They wanted to take the abacus beads and split them one by one to calculate the price.
The technical value behind it is completely ignored.
Such fine kingfisher feather inlay and embroidery skills are almost lost now!
Later, Will also arrived, still with his team of price manipulation experts.
With him joining, the bids became inflated.
After the auction, Will came to see her.
"Beautiful lady, I'm glad we meet here again. I believe this is all God's arrangement!" Will joked, thinking he was being humorous.
She also greeted in her own way.
"We are destined to be together!"
Will looked at the box in her hand and asked curiously, "I came a little late and didn't see you taking pictures of the things."
She generously showed the costume to Will.
"It's not a rare item from the Republic of China, nor is it the popular porcelain now. I took a picture of it purely because it looks good!"
When Will saw that it was a costume, he immediately looked down on it.
Women all like gorgeous and beautiful things. I thought she was very great before, but now, she is just so-so!
"Beautiful lady, you are one of the very few people I have ever met who has good taste!"
She gave her name: "Just call me Ms. Fang. If you call me beautiful lady, I will think I am very beautiful!"
Will said a string of compliments again and again, and Fang Jizong did not translate the redundant ones, but just said one direct sentence.
"He invited you to afternoon tea!"
Will glanced at Fang Jizong, who said without fear, "My mother doesn't speak fluent English. You speak too fast and she can't understand you. I'll help her translate!"
Will glanced at Fang Jizong and quickly apologized.
She understood what was said.
Afternoon tea is available!
The two of them met at the coffee shop next door. After Will sat down, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "I bought the Qin Dynasty helmet. If you want it, the price is discounted!"
Is this concise and slow enough? This woman should be able to understand it, right?
She selectively understood the word "discount".
I immediately replied with a more concise statement.
"How much cheaper?"
Will originally wanted to say that he bought it for 10 million and asked her to pay 800, but he was afraid that she wouldn't understand and the child had translated it wrong, so he just gave the price directly.
"Nine million dollars!"
She inhaled it on the spot for Will to hear.
“It’s too expensive!”
