Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
*************
Lilian slashed so hard that she almost cut Rick's offer in half.
However, Rick is not angry at all. Doing business is nothing more than bargaining: "650,000 for peony flowers and 550,000 for dragonfly lamp."
He dropped 100,000 in one fell swoop, because the price could quickly get closer to the bottom line in the hearts of the two of them. The previous false price was high, but it was just to test Lillian's bottom line.
Both of them are old fritters, and they are also businessmen who have made many transactions. He estimates that Lilian's bottom price should be around one million dollars for two lamps.
"Two lamps are packaged, 900,000."
Lilian also quickly raised the price this time, and she also felt Rick's psychological price, but this price is one million away, there is still a certain gap, and there will be a tug of war.
Jin Muchen held his breath at this time, because this time he had a real insight into how American antique dealers deal with real knives and guns. Such scenes are rare.
If he can see this scene, he can't miss the opportunity. He must observe and study carefully. This will help him become a qualified antique dealer in the future, but it will have great benefits.
Soon the quotations of the two sides entered the 10,000-character level, and then it reached the thousand-character level. After that, even a few hundred yuan, or even a few dozen yuan, was a battle of hardships.
This made Jin Muchen fully aware of the business consciousness of the Americans. Friends belong to friends, and business belongs to business. Once business is involved, even the eighty cents should be clearly divided with you, and no one should take advantage of the other. .
In the end, the two lamps were sold at a price of 1,058,868. This time, Jin Muchen fully realized Rick's ability.
"Okay, the bank is off now, I'll transfer money to you!"
After the specific price was negotiated, Lilian also acted resolutely, and Rick took out a laptop directly from under the desktop.
Lillian transferred the money to Rick through a bank account in Liechtenstein.
Then he got up and stretched out his hand, and shook it gently with Rick, his posture was extraordinarily elegant.
"Happy cooperation, next time there is such a good thing, remember to contact me, Rick!"
"Haha, don't worry, it definitely will! By the way, do you want to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!"
Rick asked politely, while Lilian shook her head: "Forget it, I've spent a few hours with you, and I have other business matters to deal with."
After speaking, he got up and said goodbye to Rick. Rick didn't keep her, but when Lilian passed by Jin Muchen who had been hiding behind her and pretending to be invisible, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at him, and then smiled at him.
"Do it well, boy, you are very good!"
Lilian suddenly said something to Jin Muchen that made Jin Muchen puzzled, and then left Rick's store without waiting for him to answer.
"Okay, boy, tell me your bank account number and I'll transfer the money to you."
After sending Lilian away, Rick turned around and said to Jin Muchen.
"A U.S. bank account?"
Jin Muchen asked with a wry smile, while Rick looked up at him with a weird look.
"You kid, is your head broken? Are you willing to pay that much tax? Oh! By the way, I forgot, when you Chinese do antique deals like this, you always like to trade in cash. Listen to me, Don't do that again, lad, you need a few bank accounts."
Rick patted his head and said, Jin Muchen nodded, it is really inconvenient to use cash for such a large transaction.
"In this way, I will contact my friend and ask him to get you a few bank accounts as soon as possible."
Rick picked up the phone as he spoke. There is only a five-hour time difference between the east coast of the United States and London, but this is not difficult for a guy like Rick, who seems to be very well-connected in Europe.
He first made a phone call to Singapore. Although Singapore is just a small place, because of its superior geographical location, almost all financial institutions in the world have offices there.
Soon, Jin Muchen got Liechtenstein and several bank accounts in Luxembourg over there, and then directly transferred 2.4 million US dollars to Jin Muchen.
It was agreed that he would offer 10% of the whole transaction, but the old man was very particular and asked Jin Muchen a few thousand dollars less. Anyway, Jin Muchen had already paid much more than the previous intermediary fee, and he also hoped to maintain a long-term business with Jin Muchen. cooperative relationship.
Jin Muchen didn't care. At this time, his mind was full of the string in the bank account, looking at the dizzying numbers.
"I heard that the banks in Cayman and the Virgin Islands are also good, why do you want to go far?"
But before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, Rick rolled his eyes, this is really a rookie who just entered the industry.
"Boy, where do you think you can avoid the US Internal Revenue Service? After the **** Obama implemented the Overseas American Tax Act, even the Swiss banks had to be soft, not to mention the small islands? There are very few in the world now. The banking institutions of the US government, that is, Liechtenstein, and the ones in Luxembourg, otherwise you think there is no need for those small Western European countries to exist? How can they become the per capita income in the world? The country with the highest and the best welfare?"
After Rick said this, Jin Muchen finally understood. It turns out that there are so many things in it. If there are no seniors like Fang Bo and Rick to lead the way, he still doesn't know how many wrong ways he will have to go.
"Okay, it's getting late, boy, so I won't leave you. We are happy to work together, but remember, don't forget me next time you have something good!"
Rick smiled and said to Jin Muchen, who nodded.
"Don't worry, Rick, next time I have something good, I'll come to you."
It is quite good to have such a trustworthy partner with so many channels, and now all I have to do is to maintain this line.
But when it will be available next time, I can't say for sure.
Jin Muchen said goodbye to Rick, came out of the citybarn antique shop, and walked to the parking lot a few blocks away. This time he came by car.
But since parking was so hard to find, he had to park his car in a public parking lot a few blocks away.
Fortunately, this is Manhattan, and it is still a more important SOHO area, so the law and order is not bad. Although it is past 8 o'clock in the evening, there are many pedestrians on the road.
It takes 20 minutes to walk from the citybarn antique store to the parking lot. Jin Muchen decided to take a shortcut and just turned into a small road. Suddenly, the lights in the alley next to the small road flashed, making Jin Muchen almost unable to open his eyes.
Jin Muchen was a little annoyed. At this time, a black Cadillac Escalade SUV slipped silently in front of him from the alley.
The rear seat window was lowered, and Lilian's lady's face was exposed from behind the window: "Where are you going? I'll take you off?"
"Uh... hello, Mrs. Lillian, you are..."
"Hehe, that's right, I'm waiting for you specifically, okay, don't stand here, get in the car and talk about it."
Lilian smiled and said to Jin Muchen, although Jin Muchen felt very strange, but considering that she would definitely not harm herself, she simply opened the door and got into the car.
"Haha, I haven't officially introduced myself yet, Lillian. Nekansky, nice to meet you."
Just as Jin Muchen closed the car door and sat down, Lilian stretched out her hand, and Jin Muchen reached out and shook her gently.
"Jin Muchen, I'm also very happy to meet your wife."
“First warm up with a cup of Mimosa, I just bought it at HK Coffee!”
I have to say that Mrs. Lilian is very communicative, such a seemingly inconspicuous little gesture, but it will make people feel very caring.
Jin Muchen took the drink and said thank you to her.
"If I'm not mistaken, those three lamps should belong to you, right?"
Jin Muchen was stunned for a moment, this woman is really smart, he didn't answer directly, but it was a default.
"Can you tell me how this lamp came from?"
Lilian was still very direct, but Jin Muchen remained silent and did not answer.
In fact, it's not that I don't want to answer, but I really don't know how to say it. Do you tell others that this is something that others don't want as junk~www.novelbuddy.com~ and then picked it up for nothing?
The meaning of showing off like that is too strong. If it spreads out, then he will be famous in New York, and 100% must be in the newspaper. Such **** luck is definitely one of the manifestations of the American dream, but the problem is now I don't want to be famous, I just want to make a fortune in a low-key muffled voice.
Seeing that Jin Muchen chose to be silent, Lillian smiled slightly at this time: "Well, it seems that I was too reckless. To express my apology, Mr. Jin, let me invite you to dinner. It's all this time, before you You've been in Rick's shop, so you haven't had dinner yet!"
Lilian's attitude really made Jin Muchen feel very strange, but he was so enthusiastic that he couldn't answer the absolute side.
What's more, this Lilian is still a big figure with many connections in the antique circle in New York. Such a person must not offend Jin Muchen who wants to make a name for himself in this circle!
"Okay! Then it's up to you!"
Jin Muchen said politely, a satisfied smile appeared on Lilian's face, and then said to the driver in front.
"George, go to The StripHouse."
After giving the order, he turned his head and asked Jin Muchen with a smile: "Let's go eat steak, don't you mind!?"
"Of course I don't mind, how could it be?"
What a joke, Jin Muchen is already hungry, and for a carnivore like him, going to a steak house at night is just right.
Mrs. Lillian's communication skills are really unusual!
