Lord Smithg couldn't figure out Davis's background.
Seeing that Ervin was so polite and complimentary to him, he thought he must be a big shot.
sohe said respectfully "Hey, Mr. Murong, hello! I have always heard martial arts novels mention Gusu Murong."
"I didn't expect that not only is your surname Murong."
"butyou are also from SuZachary and HangZachary. I'm glad to meet you!"
Davis nodded and smiling, he said, "I'm in a hurry this time."
"solet's take a quick look at things 1st."
"Alright!" Lord Smithg pointed to a farmyard not far away and said with a smile "That's our studio. All the good things are there, I'll take you there!"
When they arrived at the farmyard, it didn't look like anything superb.
Lord Smithg took theof them directly to a cowshed that had been abandoned for many years.
After lifting up the hay on the ground in the cowshed A wooden plank laid flat on the ground was revealed.
The wooden plank was lifted to reveal a downward passage.
It turned out that they used the cowshed as the entrance and hollowed out the entire yard.
Davis followed him down and couldn't help but sigh "Your workload is quite heavy, digging such a big place!"
Lord Smithg said modestly "Most of the people in our profession have done some cooking and dumping."
"To put it bluntly, they are all dirt."
"As a Lord, in addition to being good attomb-Rotag."
"He is also good at digging soil. Such a small amount of work is nothing to us."
As they spoke, theof them had already walked down the digging stairs to the hall below. Mainly because the region is indeed not small, almost 100 square metres."
"butthe environment inside is really simple, maybe to reduce the workload, the entire underground height is only about 1.8-9ms, surrounded by exposed loess."
"Coupled with the wooden support equipment, it looks a bit like entering a black coal kiln.
Seeing that Davis was a little worried, the man smiled and said "Don't worry, Mr. Murong. It looks very simple from here, but it is actually very safe, because the digging depth is very shallow, and the soil layer above our heads is only onem thick."
"Think about it, how much weight can it have if it is onem thick?"
"This kind of wooden support is enough. When we used to support pots, we used this kind of support when we dug holes 10ms deep. Nothing can go wrong."
Davis felt relieved and then carefully observed the situation here.
There were a couple workbenches in a space of nearly 100 square metres.
There was a rotten smell mixed with the smell of earth, which was a bit nauseating.
In front of those workbenches, a couple technicians were lowering their heads and playing with the things in their hands.
At 1st glance, they seemed to be antiques.
Ervin was also a little amazed at the scale of this place, so he said to Lord Smithg "Introduce them to Mr. Murong."
"Alright!" Lord Smithg said quickly "Mr. Murong, my place is different from other places where counterfeiting is done."
"Everything I make here is genuine, not a singleis fake."
As he spoke, he picked up a bronze their god statue and said to Davis "Look at this bronze their god, we just completed it this week. Its shape is in line with the characteristics ofMinie Dynasty bronze their god statues."
"The workmanship is also very exquisite and the charm is very good. butin fact, it is a bronze their god we collected in the late Quiznosang Dynasty and the early Republic of Springs that imitated theMinie Dynasty."
"The craftsmanship and details are indeed impeccable. It is a top-notch work, but the previous owner didn't understand it well."
"It was passed downgenerations earlier in the family, so he kept it as a decoration at home, and would always wipe it randomly."
"After wiping too much, the skin had gone, and it didn't look very good."
"Like old things, we take them back, make them old again, and then take them to the market and sell them as things from theMinie Dynasty."
Davis didn't know much about bronzes, so he asked "What if we treat it as something from theMinie Dynasty? We try to sell it, do others believe it?"
Lord Smithg smiled and said, "We have our own way."
Then he picked up a copper base from the side and said, "Look at this."
Davis took the base over and it looked very old sohe opened it and looked at the bottom.
It was engraved with the words "Made in the Shawnde Year of theMinie Dynasty".
Lord Smithg explained "Don't look at our bronze statue, it may only be 100 years old, but the base in your hand is a seriousMinie Dynasty copper base."
"It's just that this base was originally equipped with something."
"When we got it, we only had this base. You should also know that although theMinie Dynasty bronzes are quite valuable, but there is no deity, only a base."
"How valuable can it be to us? I spent 38Thousandyuan to buy this base, and use it with this old bronze statue."
"Wouldn't it become a set? anddon't forget, this base, it's a set."
"It's really something from the Shawnde period of theMinie Dynasty."
"We also made this their god statue according to the bronzes of the Shawnde period."
"I dare say that more than 95Percent of the experts will be impressed by the combination of the two."
Davis asked him quickly "Then. If such a set is genuine, how much would it be worth?"
Lord Smithg thought for a while "The bronze wares from the Shawnde period of theMinie Dynasty are of a certain type."
"andthe shape and production are so exquisite."
"They can definitely be put up for auction a conservative estimate would be betweenmillion andmillion."
Davis asked again "If I want this set of things, how much will it cost me?"
Lord Smithg quickly said "To be honest, Mr. Murong, when we make such things, we usually charge 30Percent of the market price."
"I just said that let me tell you, the conservative valuation of this thing should be betweenmillion andmillion."
"Let's take a middle number of about 1.5 million, 30Percent of 1.5 million, which is 450 thousand."
Davis immediately said "No, no, your price is too expensive."
"What should I do if I throw away more than 400Thousandyuan?"
In fact, Davis's inner thought was "D_mn, I will have to pay more than 400Thousandyuan to buy this thing."
"Ask FabianTravis to buy it. Will he buy it for 800 thousand?"
When Lord Smithg heard this, he quickly said "Oh, Mr. Murong, you are too honest."
"The price is higher for people in our industry. Do you think so?"
He quickly added "I'm not trying to fool you. I just told you that the base cost is 38Thousandyuan, and the bronze statue itself costs 60Thousandyuan."
"The normal transaction price will not be less than 200Thousandyuan."
"Since you are a friend of Brother Ervin, I will give you a fixed price of 150Thousandyuan!"
Ervin on the side immediately said "Lord Smithg, we have known each other for such a long time."
"This is the 1st time we are doing business."
"I don't want to say anything else. Just treat this 1st order as a favor."
"Don't make money from Mr. Murong."
"Isn't your base worth 3eight thousand? Like 60 thousand, right? We give you 98, 000, just to make a friendly exchange."
"Friendly exchange…" Lord Smithg said with emotion "Of course, I want to make Mr. Murong a friend."
"butto help with the work, I have to pay the Lords for craftsmanship."
Davis waved his hand and said boldly "Since you said so, let's put it together. 100Thousandyuan is enough."
"one hundred thousand. …"
Lord Smithg was very depressed. Although the craftsmen in their profession are invisible Their craftsmanship is really valuable.
To do such a job, the Lord must be paid at least 20Thousandyuan Otherwise, why would they stay here and work forSeveral days without seeing the sunlight?
Although he was full of grievances, but after thinking about it carefully, in this case, he decided to not bargain with him anymore.
After all, he did not know Mr. Murong, but Ervin was indeed doing well now, so it was Alright to give him a face. Make it easier for yourself in the future.
So, he looked at Ervin and said seriously "Brother Ervin, since I am your friend, then I will definitely have nothing to say."
"Let's not give uphundred thousand. I will stick to my favor and give it to 9eight thousand! 9eight thousand, that's it!"
When Davis heard this, he thought "Hey, it saves anotherthousand! andthis thing seems to be more suitable."
"The market price isormillion, and if it is sold to FabianTravis."
"As long as he buys it, all his start-up capital will be invested."
"When the time comes, let Ervin find someone to expose this thing."
"This is the perfect prop for the game!"
sohe immediately agreed and said, "Alright! That's it then!"
