1929 year.

The discovery of the first complete "Peking Man" skull fossil during field excavation work on Zhoukoudian Keel Mountain shocked the world, and the study of Chinese vertebrate paleontology and paleoanthropology was officially opened.

Therefore, the Cenozoic Research Laboratory of the Institute of Geological Survey of the Ministry of Agriculture and Minerals, the predecessor of the Institute of Paleospine of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was established.

He is mainly engaged in the excavation and fossil research of the Beijing Homo erectus site in Zhoukoudian.

But few people know that the team that really discovered and excavated was dominated by the Morgan family.

The site was discovered in August 1921 by the Swedish geologist Andersen and the American and Austrian paleontologist Dansky. However, due to the backwardness of China at that time, the Americans were the real leaders in excavation and preservation.

During World War II, due to concerns about the safety of fossils, the United States planned to transport Peking Man skulls and other fossil materials to the American Museum of Natural History for preservation.

However, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army quickly occupied all the American institutions in Beihuaxia, including Union Hospital, and the whereabouts were unknown and there was no news during the transfer, which became a mystery in history.

As a result, the only surviving true specimen was a Peking Man skull model discovered from the top layer in 1966.

As Lian En introduced the origin and historical value of the fossil on stage, Shen Jiannan looked at the vertebrae fossil in the glass cover, and his eyes were uncertain.

The question of the origin of mankind, it seems, is merely a historical discovery.

Many people later accepted that hominins originated in Africa because fossils of humans who walked upright more than 4 million years ago and between 1.5 million and 3 million years ago were found.

As a result, the earliest theories of European origins were completely overthrown.

But in fact, the problem has never been so simple.

From the European origin to the African origin, if we analyze it from the perspective of time and politics, we will find that in fact, they all serve the interests of all countries.

It is also the so-called African origin theory that derives from the illegality of the British colonization of other countries, which indirectly overthrew the rule of the empire on which the sun never sets.

The truth?

That word says it all.

In the face of political demands, what kind of truth is not so important.

It is precisely because of the far-reaching political significance hidden behind it that Chinese archaeologists have invested a lot of manpower and material resources to refute the so-called single origin theory with fossil chains.

That's why it's hard to believe that we modern people all originated in Africa.

But unfortunately, there are always cerebral palsy who ignore the so-called origin theory and take it as the truth.

Of course, these things have nothing too directly related to Shen Jiannan, he is just thinking about what is the purpose of Soros making such a play at this time.

Coincidental?

Definitely not.

With the handiwork of someone like Soros, how could it be a coincidence.

Shen Jiannan glanced at Soros silently, this old guy is really profound.

It may be that he wants to see his true origin, he may force himself to stand in line, he may also vote for goodwill to win over himself, or he may want to use his name as a Democratic Party to build momentum.

After all, the theme of this banquet is to raise money for the Democratic candidates, and with their current influence in the global financial markets, if they photograph this fossil, it will be enough to add a lot of points to the Democratic Party.

And this can also test whether you are yourself or a Chinese.

If it is a Chinese person, then this will be a good woo and goodwill.

Side.

Soros looked at Shen Jiannan with deep meaning, carefully observing every expression on his face, hoping to see something on his face.

In order to prepare this fossil, he took a lot of effort to get it from a collector.

But alas, Soros didn't see anything.

There was nothing unusual on that young face, and there was nothing unusual in those dark eyes.

Soros was a little disappointed.

Just as Shen Jiannan thought about it, he hoped to use the fossil to reveal his kindness, but at the same time, he could completely pull Shen Jiannan into his ally.

Capital One's influence in Europe is too great.

Soros has to consider what kind of impact Capital One will have on quantum funds and even the global financial market in the future.

But if we work together, this influence will be a help.

With Shen Jiannan's current fame, his every move is concerned by the global capital and governments, and as long as he shows that he is buying and selling, then everyone will see him as a supporter of the Democratic candidate.

And, it can also be used to determine his identity.

If it has a close relationship with China, it will be of great help to the US economy.

However, Soros is not frustrated because he didn't see anything, and since he has reached the point where he can talk to him, it would be strange if he could be seen at a glance.

"The reserve price for this lot is $10,000. Each increase must not be less than $1,000. ”

As Lien's hammer falls, the auction officially begins.

It's just that compared with the previous fierce competition, this fossil from China was not interested in bidders, and no one rushed to bid at the beginning.

And rightfully so.

Except for those who have studied paleontology and biogeology, who would be interested in a stone that is hundreds of thousands of years old.

Unless, this fossil has a special meaning for him.

The people who came to this banquet were either innovative tech entrepreneurs or financiers, and the ghosts would be interested in such meaningless things.

Of course, just because no one is interested in something doesn't mean that no one will auction it.

The Quantum Fund's reputation on Wall Street is enough to prompt many people to want to get Soros's favor through it.

"Twenty thousand dollars. ”

Finally, someone tried to raise the sign and shouted.

This shout is like opening the silence.

Subsequently, many people joined the ranks of bidding.

After a short period of dollars, the price of fossils soared to $150,000.

But just like the previous auction of Buffett's pocket watch, the price of 150,000 US dollars immediately discouraged many people.

Buying a meaningless fossil and only getting attention from Soros that may or may not exist is worth it or not, and everyone has to consider whether it is worth it or not.

At this moment, Buffett held up the sign in his hand.

"Five hundred thousand dollars. ”

This is undoubtedly a sky-high price.

The guests who were talking about it were shocked, and immediately glanced at Buffett, and when they saw the deity clearly, they suddenly realized in their hearts.

Isn't this just a business that blows?

The world of rich people is really infuriating.

Half a million was spent.

Seeing Buffett raise the sign to ask for the price, Shen Jiannan's eyes moved and he raised the sign in his hand.

"A million dollars!"

Another million.

All the eyes in the audience looked at Shen Jiannan in unison, puzzled, confused, shocked and faintly incredulous.

Even if you are rich, you don't want to bring such a loser!

It's too rough.

"Oh my God. It's him again. Who the hell is he? ”

"Oh my God. A million dollars to buy a meaningless fossil. Is he crazy? ”

"The world of rich people is really incomprehensible. ”

The people who can come to this kind of occasion are also rich in the eyes of ordinary people, but many people still can't imagine that someone will pay a million dollars to buy a fossil.

Many people talked about Shen Jiannan's identity, and some people asked friends who had a wide range of friends to ask what the identity of this young man who seemed to be only in his early twenties was actually raising a million dollars twice in a row.

"Him. I look a little familiar, it seems to be Shen Jiannan. ”

"Shen Jiannan, who is he?"

"Oh my God. You don't even know Shen Jiannan?"

"He's famous?"

"Oh God. With a little brain, he stands with Warren Buffett and Soros, doesn't it make you think of anything?"

"Oh, buy ga. Could it be him?"

"What are you talking about?"

"George. Have you forgotten the article that was published earlier in the Wall Street Journal. The man who broke the Bank of England seems to be also called Shen Jiannan. ”

"That demon from the East? God, how could he be here. ”

“......”

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

It didn't take much effort for the news of the arrival of the Eastern Devil in the United States to spread almost all over the banquet hall.

A pair of eyes looked at Shen Jiannan, there were admiration, madness, resentment, shock, and obsession.

Men who speculate in the financial market are like looking at their idols, and many people have long regarded Shen Jiannan as their life goal in their hearts.

Of course, this is the one who made the money.

There are some well-informed guys who have made a lot of money on shorting the pound.

As for the guys who lost a lot of their underwear, they were resentful, and they cursed this bastard who only knew his name but ransacked himself.

The women have more ideas.

The man who broke the Bank of England, just that title is enough to make people feel hot all over.

And this man looks so young and handsome, it makes people's hearts beat faster at a glance, and they instinctively want to clamp their legs.

He's so handsome.

It would be so romantic if I could talk to him once.

On the presiding stage, Lian's eyes had already lit up, and because of excitement, there was a hint of blush on her fair complexion.

Two million dollars in a row, if such a noble big man can be intimate with himself, it will be a supreme honor.

Clamping his legs and finally restraining the excitement in his heart, Lian En glanced at Shen Jiannan with affection, and shouted excitedly around: "This honorable gentleman bid a million dollars! ”

"Once in a million!"

"A million twice!"

“......”

Without any accidents, this auction item finally fell into the hands of Shen Jiannan again.

"Oh. Sink. You're just too generous. ”

Watching the waiter deliver the items, Buffett seemed to be a little frustrated and said, as if he had been hit by Shen Jiannan's million-dollar deal.

In this regard, Shen Jiannan showed a hint of apology.

"I'm so sorry. This is a cultural relic from China, and as a Chinese, I have to buy it. ”

This sentence made Soros and Buffett's eyes meet for a moment, and both of them had smiles on their faces at the same time.

Buffett changed his frustration and smiled: "I was just joking." Congratulations on achieving your wish. ”

"Thank you!"

Soros smiled and said, "Shen." Aren't you going to shoot something?"

"Oh. You know, I didn't know it was an auction before I came. ”

Soros patted his head and said with some embarrassment: "Quietly." It's all because I forgot to remind you. But that's okay. Anything goes, like you can see. ”

"George was right, it doesn't matter what you donate. ”

The singing and harmony between the two made Shen Jiannan show a strange smile, he looked at Buffett and said, "Anything can be auctioned?"

"Of course. ”

"Oh well. ”

As he spoke, Shen Jiannan took out the banknote he was carrying from his body, turned around, and wrote a line of words.

Because it's not good to peek, Soros and Buffett look at each other, not knowing what this guy wrote.

"Is this okay?"

"What is this?"

"Confidentiality for the time being. ”

“......”

Shen Jiannan's ridicule made Soros and Buffett feel weird, especially Buffett, he always felt that Shen Jiannan's eyes looking at him were like looking at a hairless chicken.
