At this time, there was no time to carefully appreciate it, but four words flashed through Chris' mind: This trip is worthwhile.??

He was vacated by the shop owner for 200,000 yuan to get a VIP card. At that time, he was still sulking in his stomach, thinking that the other party was completely extorted, just to make things worse and disgusted for himself. But now after seeing these few treasures, he doesn't think so at all.

It seems that Harry did not fool himself. This antique shop is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and he has really found a lot of treasures!

Let’s not talk about the furniture made of silicified wood and the tea set that he didn’t know where to come from, but the two clocks he saw now were gorgeous in his workmanship and could no longer be described in words.

Chris looked at the two clocks and didn't know what to say, and his stupid brother Martin was even more stunned when he looked at the two clocks and couldn't speak at all.

Speaking of antiques, there are natural differences between the artistic aesthetics of the East and the West.

Chinese antiques pay more attention to subtlety, low-key, and connotation, while Westerners have a completely different taste. They prefer real knives and straightforward things, such as some utensils. They prefer the kind of exquisite workmanship and extensive craftsmanship. The real knives are inlaid with various gems on the utensils and use a large amount of gold.

In their opinion, such a treasure is more artistic and valuable. After all, it is made of real gold and silver. This material alone is already valuable. If you add various exquisite craftsmanship and some painted patterns, and then you can add the historical allusions of celebrities from all generations, then such a treasure is perfect.

Now, in Chris' eyes, these two clocks are approaching the stage of perfection. Needless to mention the material, they use a lot of gold as the substrate, and then inlaid with a large number of gems, and finally those exquisite enamel filigree.

In addition, there is no choice for this craft. The paintings are vivid, especially on these two clocks full of Western style. The painted patterns are actually painted with oriental art styles. This is a very rare masterpiece that combines Eastern and Western art.

This alone is enough to make people fall in love with such treasures. Chris thought about it. As long as these two clocks are taken to the world, let alone the most important historical celebrities and allusions. Even the materials and craftsmanship of these two clocks can be enough to make many collection enthusiasts in the Western art world crazy. Some people will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money for such treasures.

What if historical allusions are added? Just looking at the bright gold shape of the clock and the application of most bright yellow pigments, Chris has already concluded that this must be a royal object in ancient China.

He knew that in the history of China, the color of bright yellow was a color that only the royal family could use. Other ministers or nobles were absolutely not allowed to use such color. As for those ordinary people, let alone, if they used such color, they would lose their heads.

So did this treasure be used by the emperor in China?

"Well, Mr. Jin, I'll ask you presumptuously, what are the origins of these two clocks?"

Chris and Martin surrounded the two clocks for a long time, but in the end they were still unsure of their minds, so they looked up and asked Jin Muchen.

Jin Muchen stood aside without making a sound while the two of them were circling around the clock. Of course, these two clocks were the two large clocks he had collected first.

One of them was won by the Song family when he fought with the Song family in the capital, and the other one was collected by him in the Blue Bird Market. After he collected these two clocks, he also loved them very much, so he kept them at home as the treasure of the store.

When he opened this shop, he took out the two clocks to display when he was entertaining guests. Later, because of safety reasons, he moved upstairs. Later, because a robber broke into the house once, he locked the two clocks into the basement, which was not easy to show.

Since the two brothers Forrell have spent $200,000 today, I will take it out and show them. As for the others...hehe...

The two brothers Furiel, looking at the clock, were almost staying, which made Jin Muchen very satisfied. After all, he had collected too many treasures and was not that true to keeping them in the basement. Is it a good thing? Of course, I have to take it out for people to see.

If it's a friend to come, it's a competition, but if it's a person like the Forrell brothers, hehe, it's a naked show-off.

These two clocks are really the appetite for these Westerners. The Furiel brothers were stunned when they saw such clocks and were stunned. Jin Muchen felt very satisfied.

"Well, are these two bells? In fact, they are the first class of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and the imperial treasures of the Qing Palace. I also worked hard to get these two bells in my hand."

Jin Muchen just casually explained the origin of these two clocks. After all, there is no need to introduce them in detail in this regard. Just let them know that this is the treasure of the Qing Dynasty in China.

When the Forrell brothers heard this, they immediately looked like they suddenly realized. As a family that was born into Chinese antiques, they have received historical education since childhood. They are not only very familiar with Western history, but also with China and East Asia.

Especially the history of the Qing Dynasty, they were so familiar that they could not be familiar with it anymore. After all, at the end of which dynasty was the paradise of Westerners. Wasn’t the founder of their family who was able to free up so many good things from China at that time because of the weak Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, they actually knew the emperors and so on in the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Qianlong was the most important thing they understood. At that time, their father even hired a history expert from China to tell them about the life of the emperor.

However, what is mainly explained is not the emperor's civil and military skills, but the emperor's hobbies in life, because there is a concept in the antique circles of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, that is, this emperor is actually the largest antique player in history. Not only is he tasteful, but his collections are really shocking and jealous.

So the Forrell brothers, of course, also knew that this ancient Chinese emperor not only liked China's own cultural relics, but also the first emperor to come into contact with Western culture and also liked some Western artifacts very much.

For example, the Twelve Water Methods in the Old Summer Palace were specially designed for Western designers and engravers. He also really likes Western clocks and watches very much, and he has collected a lot.

So Jin Muchen said that the emperor had played these two clocks, and they believed them very much.

Since the emperor has the bonus, these two clocks are even more valuable. Originally, these two clocks were the types that Western collectors like. Now there is such a historical celebrity who can consecrate them for bonuses, which is even more amazing.

Chris thought that if he brought these two clocks back to Forrell and Secler Art Museum, it would definitely cause a sensation. At that time, such a treasure would be lent to the art museum for display, then the position of the future director would definitely be his. Who would dare to say anything at that time?

When he thought of this, he made a decision in his heart, and then asked Jin Muchen: "Mr. Jin, how many of these two clocks are you planning to want?"

"Hmm? Mr. Forrell, what do you mean?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Jin like this. I really like these two clocks, so I want to buy them from you. So I ask you, at what price do you want to be willing to do these two clocks?"

Chris Forrell asked confidently at this time, he firmly believed that as long as the other party spoke, there would be no price he could not afford.

At this time, Jin Muchen pretended to be stunned, then looked at Chris with contempt and said, "Hehe, sorry, Mr. Furiel, do you think I am the kind of person who lacks money? These two clocks are treasures that I also like very much, so I didn't plan to drop them at all."

Chris had long expected Jin Muchen to say this, and in his opinion, the reason why Jin Muchen said this was nothing more than pretending and in that tone. The ultimate goal was nothing more than hoping that he could raise the price a little.

"Two five million per person, two total $50 million. What do you think? And you can choose any payment method, cash or transfer money at will."

Chris confidently offered a price. Although he had never purchased such a clock before, he had handled many treasures from the Qianlong period.

For treasures from the Qianlong period, he probably had a price in his mind. Although the two clocks like the ones in front of him were exquisitely crafted and had no problem with the material, according to the normal rules of the market, even if they were on sale, they would be within the price range of 2,000 to 25 million US dollars.

No matter how high the price is, someone must have raised the price maliciously, so he directly gave a quotation of 50 million US dollars to show his sincerity and his determination to win these two clocks.

When Jin Muchen heard this guy’s offer, he was stunned at first. This guy’s stock price was really accurate. (.)
