With the luxury cars sold, Feng Yu was relieved. Wu Chih-gang and the rest had been doing market research and found out that the Soviet Union's agricultural machinery and parts were very popular in China. The durability was higher than Japan's, but it was slightly more expensive. Especially the harvesters, tractors, etc. They were very useful, but they could not be bought.
For the next 6 months, Feng Yu planned to do these. Longjiang province was an agricultural province. It was a vast plain, and it could not be cultivated by livestock. But Feng Yu did not know how much it would cost to get these things in China.
On Sunday, Fu Guangzheng brought 2 automobile inspection masters to Feng Yu's company.
Li Shiqiang and one of the masters looked at each other and were stunned. So, this master was in charge of inspecting Tai Hua Trading's used cars.
Feng Yu did not hide it from Fu Guangzheng and told him everything. There were still more than 10 cars to be sold to Fu Guangzheng. He does not want Fu Guangzheng to think that Tai Hua Trading was up to no good.
Fu Guangzheng smiled and said that it was fine. He already knew that this master was in charge of inspecting Tai Hua Trading's used cars. He purposely brought this master over to see if Tai Hua Trading would be up to no good. Since Fu Guangzheng had told him everything, it meant that the other party was not up to no good. Tai Hua Trading's reputation in his heart had increased by another level.
The inspection was very successful. The inspection of more than 10 cars was completed in the morning. The inspection was mainly on the engine, chassis, brakes, accelerator, etc. The rest were not important.
Fu Guangzheng was very satisfied with the inspection results. He wanted all 18 cars. After deducting the transportation fees, he could earn at least 50,000 RMB per car. If the operations were done well, he could earn even more.
Everyone returned to Tai Hua Trading's warehouse to sign the contract. Feng Yu passed the prepared contract to Fu Guangzheng. Fu Guangzheng read the contract and signed it.
Tomorrow, Fu Guangzheng would transfer the money to Tai Hua Trading's account. As for the transportation procedures, Fu Guangzheng had already arranged for it. It should be completed within an hour in the afternoon.
After keeping the contract, Feng Yu politely said: "Mr. Fu, have a cup of tea before you leave."
He did not expect Fu Guangzheng to turn around and sit down. He even said that he was thirsty. Feng Yu asked someone to prepare tea and apologized to Fu Guangzheng at the same time.
It wouldn't do even if the company was filled with young men. There wasn't even a single person with a discerning eye. Don't you know how to pour a cup of water when the guests are here?
In fact, this was all Feng Yu's fault. How did these young fellows become like this? It was all because of Feng Yu's teachings. A big company should be proud, but this point, Feng Yu would never admit!
Fu Guangzheng took a sip of his tea and frowned. The taste of this tea was average. It was not a good tea. He didn't want to drink it, but he was too embarrassed to put it down after taking a sip, so he could only hold the cup. But of course it was not for tea that he stayed.
He glanced around and saw a three-legged incense burner at the corner of the room. He said to Feng Yu, "Mr. Feng, why do you have this in your office? It doesn't match your clean office."
Feng Yu looked at the incense burner. He had spent 300,000 RMB to buy it from Cripple Wang. He had wanted to use it as a flower pot, but his office was in a warehouse and there was no sunlight. In the end, he forgot about it.
"Sigh, it's just an incense burner. I bought it from a friend. There was no place to put it, so I just left it there."
Bought from a friend? Could it be that he knew it was an antique? Then it would not be right for him to ask for it. But why did he put it in the corner? Could it be a fake?
Fu Guangzheng had a bad habit. Or it should be said that everyone in the industry had this habit. If an antique was placed in front of them, they would not be able to sleep at night if they did not take a closer look at it or play with it!
"Incense burner? I like incense burners and have a hobby of collecting incense burners. I wonder if Mr. Feng can let me take a look at it?"
There are people who collect incense burners? Feng Yu looked at Fu Guangzheng in surprise. This hobby was weird and did not seem like a religious person.
"Sure. If you like it, then take a look."
Feng Yu picked up the incense burner and placed it on the table.
Although the ashes in the incense burner had been poured away, it was not cleaned up. When the incense burner was placed on the table, some of the ashes floated up.
Feng Yu took two steps back and waved his hand in front of him. Fu Guangzheng also moved his chair back and placed the teacup on the table. There was a layer of ashes on the teacup. Obviously, it was not drinkable. But Fu Guangzheng's eyes did not leave the incense burner.
Eh? Feng Yu looked at Fu Guangzheng curiously. Why did he take out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put it on? Why did this scene look so familiar?
Feng Yu suddenly remembered that this was a TV program he had watched in his previous life. It was called "Appraising Treasures". In the program, the appraisers were wearing white gloves when appraising antiques.
Looking at Fu Guangzheng carefully wiping the surface of the incense burner and the look in his eyes, Feng Yu had a bold guess.
Fu Guangzheng was a neat freak. If this was a clean incense burner, he would not wear gloves. But this incense burner was too dirty, and he did not want it to get on his hands. That's why he had to wear gloves.
He felt that he had put on a good performance. Collecting incense burners was a good reason. There were many people in the world who had strange hobbies. Feng Yu should not be suspicious.
Feng Yu threw the incense burner in the corner of the room. He did not think much of it. He either thought it was a normal incense burner, or he thought it was a fake.
But from the shape of this incense burner, it looked like a Xuande Burner. Xuande Burners were manufactured during the Ming Dynasty. There were a total of 3000 of them. After that, many of them were damaged and lost, and their value increased. If this was real, then it would be worth a lot of money.
Fu Guangzheng only wanted to wipe the area clean to look at the material and color. He wanted to make a rough estimate and then buy it at a low price. If the negotiations went well, Feng Yu would give it to him.
But he did not expect that because he was wearing gloves, Feng Yu would suspect that this incense burner was a treasure.
Fu Guangzheng shook his head and placed the incense burner on the table. But there was only a faint sound. He had placed the incense burner carefully. He had seen it. Although he did not look at it carefully, there was a 50% chance that this incense burner was a Xuande Burner, and the other 50% was an imitation.
But no matter if it was real or fake, even if it was an imitation, it was still worth a lot. If he met someone who did not know much about incense burners, he could still sell it at the same price.
"I have never seen this incense burner before. Can Mr. Feng sell it to me?" Fu Guangzheng said and placed 100 HKD on the table.
Feng Yu was now sure that this incense burner was an antique. If not, why would Fu Guangzheng want such a dirty incense burner?
Feng Yu had a smirk on his face: "Mr. Fu, are you joking? I had spent a few hundred thousand to buy this incense burner from a friend, and you are giving me 100 HKD? "
The smile on Fu Guangzheng's face froze. A few hundred thousand? This Feng Yu knew that this was a Xuande Burner?
Impossible. Who would throw a few hundred thousand worth of treasures in a corner? This must be a scam!
"Did I hear wrongly? A few hundred thousand? This should only be worth a few tens of HKD. "
"Really? A few tens of HKD each? Mr. Fu, why don't you sell it to me? I will buy as many as you have. Let's not beat around the bush. This is an antique. Mr. Fu, you can tell? "
