Chapter: 6341

But this item has major defects, so its sale price is only 20 million yuan.

This price is already considered to be a significant discount.

Any object has its own value system, even if it's a damaged car or an old bicycle. According to the standard of gilded copperware prices, although there are major defects, the impact on value is not significant enough to reduce it by half.

So, from the perspective of professional collectors, this price is significantly lower than the market price, with a difference of 800-1 million yuan. Even if they want to speed up the sale process, they can at least make a profit of around 500 million yuan.

What's more, based on the recent market trends for Northern Song Dynasty gilded copperware, it is likely that there will be good opportunities for appreciation.

In general, this is equivalent to the original price of a Ferrari Fantasy, which after an accident would have a recognized value of around 300 million yuan. But the seller only wants to sell it for 200 million yuan.

So, this price is so reasonable that many people even suspect whether it's a fake product.

After all, the item was uploaded by Friend B himself, and the platform will not conduct online authentication for items uploaded by users. Private transactions require both buyer and seller to take responsibility if they need help from the platform, which can arrange paid consultations with relevant experts to assist buyers in authentication.

Although some information about the item is revealed through Xiaolu's release of images, no one can be absolutely certain whether it's genuine or not just by looking at the photos.

Therefore, buyers contact Xiaolu and express satisfaction with the price, but they hope Xiaolu can provide a related authentication report or accompany them to Yanjing to complete the transaction under the supervision of a third-party authentication institution. These buyers also know that this price is already very favorable, so they are willing to bear all expenses required by Xiaolu, including travel fees and authentication costs.

In fact, someone even offers a condition: if Xiaolu can cooperate with the authentication, the sale price can be increased by another 10 million yuan.

Xiaolu's family has been in the antique business for many years and is not lacking in funds. He knows that timing is everything and now the most important thing is to act quickly and ideally transmit the message that this item has already been sold out by tomorrow morning.

Moreover, the people on Jinling Ancient Street are not high-level professionals or morally upright, and they immediately regard this as a fake product if it's traded outside. They will definitely think that Xiaolu fabricated this lie just to salvage his reputation.

Therefore, the best approach is to let someone come to Jinling and buy this bronze Buddha from my store.

As a result, Xiaolu tells these buyers that the transaction location can only be in Jinling, and the price of 20 million yuan is only valid for the next 24 hours. If they meet his two conditions, he will accept any form of authentication, allowing them to bring experts to Jinling to authenticate the item on site before completing the transaction.

Additionally, Xiaolu also says that the price of 20 million yuan does not accept any form of negotiation or price increase; in short, the item is only available in Jinling, and whoever gets there first will get it.

Therefore, multiple collectors immediately start contacting relevant experts in various fields at night. Some have even booked a flight to Jinling for tomorrow morning.

The most ruthless one is probably a collector from Yancheng who specializes in collecting bronze ware.

After communicating with Zhou Liang online, he immediately contacted his familiar experts and asked if they had time to go out tonight to Jinling to prevent others from taking the initiative. The best approach is to leave right away this evening, even if it's on tomorrow morning's earliest flight, which takes off around 6:30 am and arrives in Jinling around 8:00 pm after leaving the airport and making their way to the antique street, estimating they'll arrive by 9:00 pm.

So, leaving right away this evening is the best option, driving for 1,000 kilometers at top speed within ten hours.

It's now 9:00 pm, so let's leave immediately. By tomorrow morning around 6-7 am, we can reach Jinling.

Not everyone has this kind of courage.

So, when Xiaolu was excitedly packing his luggage, several collectors with real power had already set off from all over the country to head to Jinling and grab the treasure.

Many others have even booked their flights for the next day's earliest flight and plan to come to Jinling to try their luck.
