Chapter 979: "Book of Qi Wang Yishu" Auction
At Singapore Airport, a passenger plane from China slowly fell, and Zou Lao walked out with the flow of people.
Next to him, an archaeologist who came with him was a little distressed to support Zou Lao, more than ten hours of the plane, for a person of Zou Lao's age, it was already a very big test, Zou Lao still insisted on refusing to take the first class or business class, but squeezed into the economy class.
After the joint fundraising of Xiaobai × "Book of Qi Wangyi", coupled with the help of everyone in the previous art auction, as well as the donations of many enterprises, individuals and social groups, the archaeological association finally raised 1.7 billion yuan, a total of 240 million US dollars, which is more than double the auction price of 100 million US dollars.
But according to the industry, many international collectors, collection consultants of the rich, and some speculators have already heard about it.
Is $240 million enough?
In fact, deep down in Zou Lao's heart, he felt that the high probability was not enough......
Now Zou Lao really doesn't dare to spend a penny on himself, he even has realized that if the final price is not too much, he can fill in all his net worth, and he also wants to get back the second half of "The Book of Qi Wang Yi".
But in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, what is the use of his own net worth?
But at this moment, he really hopes that he can bring back the Book of Qi Wang Yi.
Twenty years ago, he sat on the cold bench for a few days with $30,000 and the number 1, without even a chance to raise his card.
And this time, he came back with $240 million, hoping to ...... Let's bring a national treasure home.
Leaving the airport and on the way to the hotel, Zou Lao closed his eyes and muttered prayers.
If Duke Qi Huan has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely hope that his relics can be returned to the motherland.
King Xiaobai of Qi is blessed by the spirit of heaven, let me definitely bring this treasure of the country home, and bring it back to the land where you once lived......
But he didn't know that the spirit of Qi Huan Gong in the sky didn't want him to bring back the Book of Qi Wang Yi at all......
Gu Xiaobai was about to die of entanglement.
He thought it would be a brilliant idea to salvage shipwrecks and sell antiques to raise money for his physics research.
See, the ship is mine, the things are mine, but I have been hiding for thousands of years.
Now I'm digging up what belongs to me again, and then I'm selling it myself to finance myself, and the money is still mine.
Milk yourself, through the best value-added channel of "time", unlimited value-added.
What a brilliant idea!
Theoretical, completely wooden problematic!
But why is there such a big problem?
Time is always a little that won't go according to your thoughts, it can make you cry and make you laugh, and make you cry and laugh.
By now, things have developed completely beyond his expectations.
On the one hand, Gu Xiaobai really didn't want Zou Lao to spend so much money on the "Book of Qi Wang Yi" that he took to sell.
So much money, so many people desperately fundraising, so many people pouring their money into helping, in the end, they were cheated out of their own money?
Gu Xiaobai felt that he was even worse than those who illegally raised funds and ran away.
On the other hand, Gu Xiaobai hopes that Zou Lao can get "The Book of Qi Wang Yi" back, because the value of "The Book of Qi Wang Yi" is no longer what it writes and its own origin.
It is the heavy time of more than 2,000 years, and the emotional sustenance it bears for countless people.
The value of the Book of Qi Wang Yishu itself has taken a back seat.
Therefore, now Gu Xiaobai excavated other things from the boat, but he didn't dare to sell them casually.
Neither can be sold until he comes up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
I don't sell it when I open a hot pot restaurant for my father.
In the hot pot restaurant that had just opened, Zhao Xingsheng called Zou Lao.
"Teacher...... It's okay, just call to see if you're okay now, don't have too much psychological pressure, beware of blood pressure ......"
Zhao Xingsheng called Zou Lao while watching Gu Ping over there smearing mutton fat on the "five-tone and five-flavor mustache".
While wiping, he also explained to him: "This pot must be raised." Especially these pots for boiling water, if you don't wipe something to maintain after brushing, it will rust, and you can wipe whatever you eat. Of course, this stir-fry pot should be smeared with lard, and this mutton hot pot should of course be smeared with mutton fat......"
Zhao Xingsheng's blood pressure soared all of a sudden.
No, no, bronzes can't be maintained like this, and they can't be fed with grease......
This thing should be rust-proof, moisture-proof, shock-proof, light-proof......
There is another rule, that is, you must not eat hot pot with it!
Xiaobai, this guy knows it, but he doesn't care!
But in the end, Zhao Xingsheng didn't say anything.
He decided, while Gu Ping was not paying attention, to make an imitation, and secretly replaced this five-tone and five-flavor mustache.
If you want to imitate seamlessly, you have to learn this method of applying grease, and when the time comes, remember to apply oil again, otherwise Gu Ping will definitely be able to see it......
While thinking about it, Zhao Xingsheng seriously asked Gu Ping for advice on how to apply oil......
Gu Ping was very happy.
Look, even the big professors are asking me for advice!
Unbeknownst to him, this great professor harbored evil intentions and had already extended his claws to his copper hot pot.
At the same time, in the presidential suite of a luxury hotel in Singapore, Hatcher and a white man were talking in a low voice.
"Mr. Hatcher, you are a great connoisseur of Chinese antiques, how much do you think this Book of Qi Wang Yi is worth?"
"I think that "Qi Wang Yishu" is already at the level of treasures, no matter how much money you lose, as long as you dare to buy it, no matter how many years you put it, it will be the best investment, there are some treasures, no matter what, they will appreciate. Can you imagine what you would do if you had an opportunity to buy the Mona Lisa?"
Listening to the other party's breathing gradually become heavier, Hatcher said: "The current valuation of the Mona Lisa is 770 million euros, but fundamentally speaking, the Mona Lisa has only appreciated because of hype, and its real value is far less high, and the potential value of the Book of Qi Wang Yi is ten or a hundred times that of the Mona Lisa, because it is a real treasure." ”
"Such a valuable treasure, in the history of cultural relics in a country, may not be more than ten, and it is impossible for it to have replicas and imitations, because no one can forge its 2,700-year-old history, as long as you buy it, one day you can sell it to the Chinese for many times more money." ”
After receiving Hatcher's assurance, the white man nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, this time the competition, I will do my best." ”
At the same time, many wealthy people, professional bidders, collection consultants, and museum auction experts are constantly adjusting their budgets.
The auction war is on the verge of breaking out.
