Chapter 7, Transaction
"By the way, if it's convenient, may I ask what Mr. Feng is doing?" Having finished a portion of steak and enjoying dessert, Ji Feng couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation as he watched the three elderly men still excitedly circling around the colorful jars.
Two young men, appearing to be bodyguards, sat at a nearby table, their eyes constantly surveying everything around them to prevent any threats to the person they were protecting. Observing that they were wearing suits even in the sweltering summer heat, Ji Feng couldn't help but curl his lips, wondering where all these bad people in the world came from
I truly do not understand; in the presence of such experts, there is no need for me to pretend. Even if I were to learn a little temporarily, it would still not be sufficient to show off in front of them
You can just click around casually, let's first take a look at the items, this is what you referred to as the Yuan blue and white, right
Ji Feng looked at the two in surprise, shook his head and smiled, "Should I know? This is my first time meeting Old Feng; I had never even heard of him before."
Watching five people leave in a seven-seater Buick business vehicle, Ji Feng smiled as he glanced at the receipt in his hand, shaking his head and thinking to himself that these individuals were indeed overly cautious. It was just a piece of porcelain; if necessary, he could simply go to the market and get another one for them.
This is the first time Ji Feng has encountered such a situation; he almost lost his grip and nearly dropped it. He quickly tightened his hold and gently placed it on the table, smiling and saying, "I apologize, I don't understand this either, but it's all right, isn't it"
For several consecutive days, aside from going to the Shenlong Space at night to practice the Strong Body Technique, Jifeng spent his days taking his two dogs for walks and addressing his stomach issues. During this time, he also visited the *Tu* *Shu* company to retrieve his personal belongings and applied for a passport, although he has not yet received it.
I will inevitably need to travel abroad in the future, so it is advisable to apply for this passport in advance as a backup, just in case
"Hello, Mr. Feng. Please, take a seat. Let's order some food first. While we wait for the meal, you can take a look at the general situation." Ji Feng did not stand on ceremony with his guests. Although they were his clients, his own assets were not necessarily less than theirs, and one could even say that he possessed more than many people in the world. The saying 'money emboldens the brave' remains quite applicable in this era.
Ji Feng parked the car in front of the coffee shop and entered with a box in his arms. The waiter quickly approached and asked, "Sir, how many of you are there?"
Several meals were ordered, and within less than ten minutes, they were all delivered. However, the three elderly gentlemen were clearly more concerned about the colorful jars, completely ignoring Ji Feng, who called out to them three times. In the end, he had no choice but to place the three individuals' meal trays on the bodyguard's table.
Seeing that there was no more space on his plate, and the three people were moving around as if he were in their way, Jifeng simply moved aside and dined with the two bodyguards.
At this moment, the three elderly men had no time to pay attention to Ji Feng and were all gathered around the seemingly half-new, half-old colorful jar, studying it intently
Putting down the phone, Ji Feng hurriedly took out the piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain from the Shenlong ring, found a cardboard box to place it in, added some foam on the side, and then carried the box downstairs
However, when he thought about the photos he had taken with his phone and sent to Leng Wuqing at https://mhetushucom.com, Ji Feng felt a sense of relief. The well-preserved and relatively large Yuan blue and white porcelain was likely quite rare even in the Palace Museum.
Ji Feng is certainly not worried about the other party verifying it. No matter how you use scientific and technological means to verify, this thing cannot possibly be fake; it must have originated from the Yuan Dynasty, and there is not a shred of doubt about that
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Ji Feng is a person without great ambitions. If it were not for the fact that the island is an inheritance from his great-grandfather, and he does not want to benefit foreigners, Ji Feng would be too lazy to claim it.
Ji Feng thought for a moment, 300 million should be enough for him to fight a lawsuit, after all, that amounts to several tens of millions of dollars, and hiring a legal team should certainly be sufficient
The two bodyguards exchanged a bemused smile and shook their heads. One of them said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, Director Feng is the director of the Palace Museum."
I am looking for someone, an old gentleman named Feng. If he hasn't arrived, please arrange a quiet environment for me. Originally, such antiques are indeed not suitable for trading in a place like this, but it is almost noon now. Ji Feng thought about solving the issue of hunger together. As for the two dogs at home, they only eat once a day, and even if more food is given to them, they refuse to eat.
Seeing the three old men staring intently at the box by his feet, Ji Feng did not hesitate; he bent down and smilingly pulled it out.
However, upon seeing a slight bulge at their waists, I was immediately taken aback, wondering what kind of identity Old Master Feng had, as even the bodyguards were carrying guns
Ji Feng sat at hetushu.com in the corner and waved his hand, and soon saw five men approaching his direction. Although he had never met the old master Feng, it was unlikely that these five big men would come to the café just for a meal; older individuals generally preferred to eat Chinese food.
The three elderly men exchanged glances and, after nodding in agreement, one of the bodyguards ran out and brought in a large safe. The other two elderly men carefully lifted the colorful jars and placed them inside the safe, using the soft foam that came with the safe as padding to ensure that even with vigorous shaking, nothing would be damaged. After securing the safe, they finally began their meal
The most important thing is that I do not want to leave traces of the plateau here. It is completely impossible for me now, and I might as well take this opportunity to tidy up the house. At the very least, this way I can live comfortably.
I found another renovation company, and after modifying the design drawings several times according to Ji Feng's requirements, we finalized the renovation plan. All the furniture and appliances that needed to be replaced in the house were cleared out and replaced with new ones. Apart from keeping a few belongings of my parents, Ji Feng does not intend to keep anything else.
However, with the Dragon Space, or rather, having the qualification to freely enter and exit the market, it seems that I can indeed make a fortune by dabbling in antiques
"You don't know?" One of the bodyguards looked at Ji Feng with some surprise. If it weren't for Ji Feng's pale and quiet appearance, along with his somewhat frail and harmless demeanor, they probably would have searched him as soon as they met.
After finishing the meal and having a cup of coffee, more than an hour had passed. Only then did the three elderly gentlemen enthusiastically put away their equipment and turn to say, "Xiao Ji, it appears that your Yuan blue-and-white five-color jar is likely genuine."
Watching the three individuals don white gloves and meticulously examine with magnifying glasses, Ji Feng could hardly bear it. He secretly lamented that he was fortunate not to be involved in the field of cultural relics; otherwise, he would surely end up bankrupt.
The transaction will be completed, but at most within a week. I truly have urgent need for the money; otherwise, I would have taken it directly to the auction.
Upon hearing Jifeng's words, the three elders huddled together to discuss in low voices. One of the elders said: "If it is indeed the market price, it should be between 300 million and 350 million. Of course, if it goes to auction, it might be slightly higher. Our budget is not very ample; we can at most offer 300 million. What do you think, Xiao Ji?"
Just a couple of days later, as Ji Feng was preparing to temporarily move to a hotel, he was interrupted by a phone call, which reminded him that he still had a piece of Yuan blue-and-white porcelain to sell
"Old Master Feng, have you arrived? That's good. Please go to Mingdian Coffee on Heping Road. I will bring the items and head over now. Alright, see you shortly."
Ji Feng rolled his eyes in exasperation, thinking to himself that it was indeed true; he had taken it directly from a stall dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, no fakes involved
Following the waiter, I arrived at a relatively quiet corner and ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee. In less than half an hour, two strong and robust young men accompanied three elderly scholars into the café
"You must be Xiao Ji, right? I am Feng Jingyao," said an elderly man with gray hair, smiling as he glanced at Ji Feng. His gaze then fell upon the box at Ji Feng's feet, particularly drawn to the open box revealing a jar with a diameter of over ten centimeters, which appeared somewhat vintage, instantly brightening his eyes.
It is important to note that gun control in the country is extremely strict; even many private bodyguards are not allowed to carry firearms. It is likely that this Mr. Feng has an official background, and his status should not be too low.
Ji Feng almost didn't think twice and laughed, saying: "Old Feng, it's not impossible for you to take it away. Just for the sake of your connection with Cold Lao Da, I have to agree. However, we need to clarify first: if you really intend to make an offer, let's set the price first. After you take it away and verify its authenticity, just transfer the money directly to my card. If it's fake, you can smash it, and I won't mind."
However, for safety's sake, we still need to conduct a scientific experiment, which will take a few days. Could you see if you can allow us to take this antique with us?" Mr. Feng looked somewhat awkwardly at Ji Feng. He originally should not have said this, but after seeing Ji Feng's demeanor when he took it out, he felt that he was quite inexperienced and was genuinely worried that this treasure might break in Ji Feng's hands again, which is why he asked.
"Slow down, slow down. How can you be so careless? What if you bump into something?" Seeing Jifeng clumsily carrying it out as if he were lifting a water jug, the three old men immediately glared at him in anger
Uh! Ji Feng's mind almost short-circuited, I can't believe it, it's just a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain, is it really necessary to attract even the director of the Palace Museum?
However, it was merely a fleeting thought in his mind. In Ji Feng's consciousness, having enough money to cover expenses was sufficient; there was no need to work tirelessly every day to earn more. He should learn to enjoy life.
