Actually, Feng Yu did not know what kind of antique this incense burner was, but he was sure that it was an antique. He wanted to know which dynasty this incense burner was from and how much it was worth.
Fu Guangzheng heard Feng Yu and laughed awkwardly: "Hahaha, Mr. Feng, stop joking. Since you know about it, why did you put it in the corner? "
Feng Yu thought for a while: "I did not have the time to keep it. I did not even clean it up. A history professor said it was worth 1 million, and another professor said it was worth 2 million. I also do not know how much it is worth. How much is this thing worth in Hong Kong? "
What Fu Guangzheng said just now had indirectly admitted that this incense burner was worth at least a few hundred thousand. Feng Yu wanted to know how much Fu Guangzheng was willing to pay. If the price was really high, he did not mind selling it now.
Collecting antiques was not his hobby. The reason why antiques were so popular in the future was because of people.
Some collectors and auctioneers used history, culture, economy, etc. to inflate the value of antiques. This was supported by the players.
There were also some people who did not want to collect antiques. It was purely for the economic benefits. They could use the company's name to auction the antiques and turn them into office supplies. This way, they could reduce the profits and taxes. As for the office supplies, after 5 years of "depreciation", the value would become 0.
When the value became 0, the company could transfer it from the accounts to the owner's pocket. In these 5 years, the value of the antiques had increased. Not only the owner could avoid a large amount of taxes, but it was also a stable investment. When the company needed money urgently, they might not need to sell the antiques. They could use the antiques as collateral to get a loan.
In the future, there would be more and more such situations. Later, the government introduced policies to regulate this market. But there were still many loopholes.
Feng Yu did not want to invest in antiques. He did not know anything about antiques. In his previous life, he had heard of many people getting cheated. Furthermore, he could make more from investments than from speculating on antiques.
Fu Guangzheng put on his gloves again and took out a small brush and a magnifying glass from his bag. He had brought these things with him and did not take them out just now.
After Fu Guangzheng cleaned the incense burner, it glowed again. Fu Guangzheng had an infatuated look on his face. He kept caressing the incense burner like he was caressing his lover.
"1 million. 1 million HKD. Can Mr. Feng sell it?"
This thing is worth a million? It's still HKD. HKD is worth more than RMB!
This price had exceeded Feng Yu's expectations. He had thought that he could earn back the few hundred thousand he spent on Cripple Wang. But now, it seems that the profits were not low.
Cripple Wang must not know that this was an antique. If he knew, he would have asked Feng Yu for it. He didn't expect that his unintentional action would allow him to earn a sum of money again.
"Mr. Fu, do you think I will sell it?" Feng Yu smiled at Fu Guangzheng.
Unless Fu Guangzheng offered 2 million RMB, he would not sell this incense burner. This time next year, he could use this censer to get a loan from the bank. With a little bit of work, he could get at least five million yuan. In a year's time, he could turn five million into more than twenty million. If he was given one million now, he wouldn't be able to turn it into five million in a year.
Fu Guangzheng had a regretful look on his face. Seems like Feng Yu was also keeping it for his collection. Forget it. If he offered a higher price, he would not get any profits.
"Mr. Feng also likes to collect. What other collections do you have at home? Can you show me?" Fu Guangzheng said as he took off his gloves and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
Feng Yu waved his hand: "I just started playing and don't have any collections. But Mr. Fu, you seem to be a veteran and should have collected quite a lot of good stuff. "
He did not just start playing. He had not even started playing. But he was curious about this industry. At least, he felt that antiques were better than art pieces.
In the future, there were people who speculated on art pieces. Part of it was to inflate the prices to make profits. Another part of it was to launder money. You can auction a worthless art piece and then give all your money to the buyer. The buyer will bid for your art piece at a high price, and your money will become a legal source. There were also some people who followed the trend and bought art pieces at high prices. But in the end, they could not sell them. These people were the ones who suffered the consequences.
When Feng Yu said he wanted to look at his collection, Fu Guangzheng was delighted. Although Fu Guangzheng was not a collector and only wanted to sell his antiques for profits, he had made a lot of money this year.
During this trip to Bing City, Fu Guangzheng went to look for a few old houses and got a few good items.
At the hotel, Fu Guangzheng showed Feng Yu what he got from this trip. Snuff bottle, porcelain, seal, jade pendant, hairpin, ancient books.
Feng Yu looked at the antiques for a long time and did not think they were good. They were pretty, but he would never buy them at a high price.
Seeing Feng Yu's nonchalant look, Fu Guangzheng said in a sour tone: "These can't be compared to your Xuande Burner. That might be the real Xuande Burner. The prices will increase a few times in the next 2 years. But if I bring these back to Hong Kong, I can at least double the profits. "
"There are so many people in Hong Kong who play antiques?"
"There are not so many people in Hong Kong. There are more people in Southeast Asia."
Feng Yu understood. At that time, Hong Kong was the economic center of Southeast Asia established by the British. Among those overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, there were more than 100 billionaires. Just these people alone could push up the prices of antiques.
"Mr. Feng, are you interested in working with me?" This was Fu Guangzheng's motive. He did not have a lot of funds, and it was hard for him to expand his business. Feng Yu had funds and had connections in the Soviet Union. If he could get some European oil paintings, it would be a windfall.
"I'm sorry. I am not interested. I am only buying that Xuande Burner to help my friend. Mr. Fu, are you from Hong Kong's Fu family? "Feng Yu suddenly asked.
"You know about the Fu family? Mr. Feng had been to Hong Kong? " Fu Guangzheng looked at Feng Yu curiously. A person from the most northern part of Hua Xia knew about Hong Kong's Fu family? How did he know about them?
"I heard from my friend that the Fu family is one of Hong Kong's big families. Every member of the Fu family is the elite of Hong Kong's upper class. Which generation is your father from the Rong generation? "
Fu Guangzheng was even more surprised. Feng Yu even knew about his family's generation. That means Feng Yu already knew about his background.
"My father is Fu Rongjing."
Feng Yu thought for a while and could not remember. The most famous member of the Fu family was also from the Rong generation. At his peak, he was on the same level as Superman Li. But his name was not Fu Rongjing.
On the surface, Feng Yu still had a surprised look on his face, and Fu Guangzheng was pleased. Although Fu Guangzheng was not valued by his father, his father had never stopped him when he wanted to use his father's name to do business.
This time, Fu Guangzheng wanted to use this batch of second-hand luxury cars to show his father his ability to make money!
