Sweet And Refreshing: Ravished By The Chief A 100 Times - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Heinous Baller 1

“Miss Yang, you may not know, it was on account of my young master and hence the other party only charged 5% as the maintenance fee. If it was someone else, the maintenance fee would be at least one hundred or two hundred million,” Qiu Li said. “You can say whatever you want. Anyway, I don’t believe you.” Yang Yuxi rolled her eyes. How could the maintenance fee be one hundred or two hundred million yuan. Did they think that she was a fool? She decided not to harper over this painting and looked at other quotations.

“The Imperial Ming blue-and-white amphora was quoted 11,000,000 yuan?” Yang Yuxi pointed to the detailed quotation and asked. “Yes, what’s the problem?” Qiu Li asked. “Of course there’s a problem and it’s a serious problem. A few days ago, the same blue-and-white amphora that was auctioned in the Antiques Roadshow was worth 8,800,000 yuan. Why is it that it became 11,000,000 yuan over here? Why is there an additional 2,200,000 yuan? This is too much.” Yang Yuxi questioned her.

“Miss Yang, you may not know, although the two of them are blue-and-white amphora, and were produced by the Ming Imperial kiln, due to the different furnaces and batches, their qualities and values are vastly different. The glaze colors and gloss of the blue-and-white amphora was far beyond the piece sold on the Antiques Roadshow. It was reasonable to give a quote of 11,000,000 yuan,” Qiu Li said.

Yang Yuxi found her explanation reasonable. She quietened down to look at the other details. She looked up after taking a brief glance, pointing at the Yixing Clay ashtray. “What kind of ashtray is this? Why is it worth 7,800,000 yuan? Are you bluffing me?”

“Miss Yang, this piece of ashtray is a rare collection designed by a famous potter, Ye Tongsheng. It is reasonable for his work to be sold at this price. In fact, given Master Ye’s position in the pottery industry, in another three to five years, the price of this artwork would easily double,” Qiu Li said. “Are you saying that it is to my advantage now?” Yang Yuxi rolled her eyes, muttering to herself. The ashtray must be made from gold, otherwise, it would not cost 7,800,000 yuan.

“What about this cost 5,600,000 yuan?” Yang Yuxi pointed to the Qing Dynasty imitation of Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase. Instead of complaining that it was expensive, she was ready to listen to Qiu Li’s explanation. “Oh, this a Qing Dynasty imitation of Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase,” Qiu Li said. “The imitation porcelain vase cost as high as 5,600,000 yuan. Did you make a mistake?” Yang Yuxi could not help but ask. Qiu Li explained, “Although this vase is an imitation, it has fine workmanship and is definitely a good artwork. It is worth 5,600,000 yuan. This is a fair price.”

“An imitation cost 5,600,000 yuan! Did you think that I am a fool?” Yang Yuxi still could not believe her. “Miss Yang, at times, some imitations worth more than the real artwork. This is very common.”

Yang Yuxi was speechless, she looked at the quotation again. The jadeite coin and agate pendant were just as ridiculously expensive. However, she had no knowledge of jade and pendants, therefore she skipped them and looked at the last item on the list. It stated that 25 grams of rare ujeon longjing tea cost 4,500,000 yuan.

She arched her eyebrows right away. Although she had no knowledge of the price of tea as well, it was considered a shocking price for 50 grams of this top-quality tea to cost about tens of thousand yuan. She had never imagined that over here the 25 grams of rare ujeon longjing tea would cost 4,500,000 yuan. If so, 50 grams of the same tea would be close to tens of millions yuan.
