The Rebirth of a Genius

The Rebirth of a Genius
Chapter 76


Feng Yu himself was not sure what antiques these incense burners were. But he was sure it was an antique. He wanted to know where the dynasty came from and how much it was worth.


Fu Guangzheng heard Feng Yu and laughed shyly: “Ha, ha, Mister. Feng, stop joking. Since you know about it, why do you still place it in that corner? "


Feng Yu rolled his eyes and said, “I don't have time to save it. You see, I don't even have time to clean it properly. A history professor once told me it was worth 1 million, but another expert told me it was worth 2 million. I'm not sure how much it's worth. What is the selling price of this type of burner incense in Hong Kong? ”


What Fu Guangzheng had said earlier indirectly acknowledged these burners were worth at least several hundred thousand. Feng Yu wanted to know how much Fu Guangzheng was willing to offer. If the price was right, he might just sell it to her now.


Feng Yu did not have a hobby of collecting antiques. Antiques in previous lives were very expensive because the market was manipulated by several people.


Some collectors and auctioneers use history, culture, economics to drive up the prices of antiques and are still well received by many.


There are some who are not interested in collecting antiques but collecting antiques for economic gain. Using their company names, they auctioned back antiques and declared them "office supplies" to avoid taxes. The value of office supplies after 5 years “depreciation” will be 0.


Once the value of "office fittings" becomes zero on the company's books, these antiques can fit into their own pockets. Also, these 5 years, the value of these antiques will be appreciated. In this way, a large amount of tax is avoided and is still a stable investment. When in need of money, one can use these antiques as collateral and get a loan from the bank.


In the coming years, many are using this method and finally, the government issued a policy to regulate the antique market, but there are still many loopholes.


Feng Yu had no intention of entering the antique market. He knows nothing about antiques. In his previous life, he heard many stories about people being cheated when buying antiques. Moreover, if he only invested in the financial markets, he was guaranteed to earn more than investing in antiques.


Fu Guangzheng put on his gloves again and took a small brush and a magnifying glass from his bag. He took this with him wherever he went. He just didn't bring them out early.


After Fu Guangzheng cleaned the burner, this 3-legged incense burner restored its luster. Fu Guangzheng stared and stroked the burner as if it was the body of his lover.


"1 million .1 million HK dollars. Mr . Feng, are you willing to sell it to me? "


This thing is worth 1 million? And that's in Hong Kong dollars? The Hong Kong dollar is rated higher than the RMB!


This price was much higher than Feng Yu's expectations. Originally, he had thought that as long as he could get back the several hundred thousand he paid to Cripple Wang, that would be enough. But now, it seemed like he could also make a huge profit.


The crippled Wang must have been unaware that this incense burner was a valuable antique. If he knew about this, he would send his people to return the old stove. Feng Yu did not expect that small movement, it would give him a significant advantage.


"Mr . Fu, do you think I'll sell it? ”Feng Yu smiled and looked at Fu Guangzheng.


"Mr . Fu, do you think I'll sell it? ”Feng Yu smiled and looked at Fu Guangzheng.


Feng Yu would not sell these stoves unless Fu Guangzheng offered 2 million. At this time next year, Feng Yu could still use this burner as collateral to obtain a loan from the bank. He could get at least 5 million loans, and within 1 year, he could turn 5 million into over 20 million. If he gets 1 million now, he can't turn it into 5 million in 5 years.


Fu Guangzheng had a disappointed expression on his face. It seemed like Feng Yu wanted to keep it for his own collection. If he offered a higher price, he might not make a profit.


"Mr . Feng also likes collecting antiques? What treasures are in your collection? Let me see it. '' Fu Guangzheng said as he took off his gloves and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.


Feng Yu waved his hand: “I just started and not much collection. You seem to be an expert on antiques. You must have collected a lot of good stuff. ”


In his previous life, artworks were deliberately traded at high prices for profit and some were used for money laundering. You can bring worthless paintings to the auction house for auction. Then you give your money to the other party and this party will use your money to buy your worthless painting at a high price. This way, your money will come from a legitimate source. There were also some idiots who blindly followed the trend and bought high-priced works of art. In the end, they were unable to sell this artwork and they had to swallow the bitter pill.


When Feng Yu said that he wanted to see Fu Guangzheng's collection, Fu Guangzheng had a proud expression on his face. Although he is not considered a collector and he is only doing this for profit, but he is still making a huge amount this year.


On his way to Bing City, he had visited some old houses nearby and bought some antiques.


On his way to Bing City, he had visited some old houses nearby and bought some antiques.


In his hotel room, Fu Guangzheng showed Feng Yu his collection from this trip. Tobacco bottles, porcelain, seals, jade pendants, hairpins, ancient books.


Feng Yu looked at these items for a while and felt that even though these items were beautiful, he would definitely not pay a high price for them.


Looking at Feng Yu's disinterested appearance, Fu Guangzheng said wryly, “These items cannot compare to your Xuande burner. That burner of yours is an authentic Xuande burner. Its value will definitely appreciate several times within 2 years. But I was still able to earn at least double the profit from these items when I returned to Hong Kong. ”


"There are so many people collecting antiques in Hong Kong?"


“In Hong Kong, not much. But there are many in Southeast Asia. ”


Feng Yu finally understood. Hong Kong in this era was still a British colony and the financial center of Asia. There are more than 100 Chinese Billionaires from Southeast Asia alone. These people are the ones who can raise the price a few times.


"Mr . Feng, are you interested in joining me in this business? ”This is really Fu Guangzheng's goal. He was short of capital and was unable to increase his operations. Feng Yu had funds and also had connections with the Soviets. If he could get an oil painting or something from Europe, it would definitely be profitable.


"sorry. I am not interested in this trade. I bought the incense burner to help a friend with his financial difficulties. Mr . Fu, are you from the Fu Hong Kong family? ”Feng Yu suddenly asked.


“You know about the Fu family? Master Feng went to Hong Kong before? ”Fu Guangzheng looked at Feng Yu curiously. Someone from the northernmost province of China actually knew about the Fu Hong Kong family? How did he know about this?

"I heard from a friend. The Fu family is a large family in Hong Kong. Every member of the family is an elite among the top of Hong Kong. Generation "Rong" what's your father? "


Fu Guangzheng was shocked. Feng Yu even knew about the seniority of his family. This meant that Feng Yu already knew his background.


"My father is Fu Rongjin. ”


Feng Yu thought for a moment. He had no impression of Fu Rongjin. The most famous of the “Rong” generation of the Fu family is comparable to Superman Li. But that person was definitely not Fu Rongjin.


Feng Yu showed a surprised expression, and this made Fu Guangzheng feel proud. Although he was not his father's favorite, his father never stopped him from using his name while doing business.


He wanted to take advantage of this used car business to prove himself to his father.
