"Buy?" Luo Sheng said in a strange tone on the other end of the phone, but after questioning just now, he immediately brought the conversation back: "That's right, our auction house can naturally buy it in addition to selling, I don't know what Mr. Li wants to buy?"

That's right, Luo Sheng had already felt that his tone was wrong just now, because every time Li Huan found him before, he asked him to help him sell those gems, so Luo Sheng subconsciously thought that Li Huan was going to sell something every time - but Li Huan is a real rich man, except for his collection to be on the auction table, Li Huan's net worth is fully qualified to enter the top auction house to compete for any treasure he likes. So Luo Sheng immediately pulled the conversation back, for fear that Li Huan would be angry.

Li Huan didn't care, he also understood why Luo Sheng's tone was strange, who let him sell gems as soon as he ran out of money before......

But this time he was a real buyer, Li Huan smiled: "I want Yuan Qinghua." ”

Poof......

Over there, Luo Sheng may have been drinking water, and Li Huan heard the sound of a mouthful of water squirting.

After about ten seconds, Luo Sheng's sad voice came from there: "Mr. Li, don't tease me, okay, you just said you want to buy something? Yuan Qinghua? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious. Li Huan didn't hide it, anyway, once the museum complex was built, no one could hide it, so he told the lack of collections with Chinese characteristics in his museum: "I thought about it, and I was just one Yuan Qinghua." I looked at the auction records, I can afford this money, you can help me find it. ”

"Mr. Li, you may have a little misunderstanding of this Yuan Qinghua, this is not something that can be bought with money!" Luo Sheng smiled bitterly: "It's not good, it's a national treasure, who will sell it!"

However, he was shocked by what Li Huan said.

Luo Sheng has known Li Huan for three or four years, and the first time he saw Li Huan was at the auction house of the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong, when Li Huan was just a young boy, holding a diamond to auction for 30 million - this should be his first pot of gold. How to say, Luo Sheng has never seen anyone in the auction house, and ordinary collectors buy good things from home, and no one will sell them out at all. Those who sell their collections at auction houses are generally reluctant to part with their love when there is something wrong with the economy.

At that time, Li Huan was still relatively young, so Luo Sheng was sure that it was Li Huan's first pot of gold.

Counting the time, it is less than four years, and the young man who took the diamond to the auction to make money has now established a museum, and the local government has also provided him with a large complex, what kind of concept is this! Luo Sheng knew that Li Huan was going to build a museum, but what he knew was the small No. 1 Nanshan Road, when did it become a large-scale complex......

If you want to build a large-scale complex in the city, not to mention financial and material resources, connections are also extremely important!

In other words, Li Huan has undergone such earth-shaking changes in the past three or four years......

"I know it's a national treasure, otherwise I wouldn't want it. Li Huan said: "And don't you have an auction record? You just need to help me contact the seller." You can rest assured, I won't lose your commission, the main thing is that this thing is too difficult to find, and since it's my own museum, I don't want to be perfunctory. ”

"Mr. Li, what you said is light, that's Yuan Qinghua, if there is Yuan Qinghua that can be auctioned in Junru, then my auction house would rather be free of commission. Luo Sheng smiled bitterly: "Do you know what Yuan Qinghua means? If I have a Yuan Qinghua that can be auctioned, then I can attract the attention of the world." In other words, even if the other auction houses want to chase me, they can't even catch up with my tail, so what commission do I need? As long as I have this thing, I'd rather pay for it, it's a deal that shocks the world. ”

"Well, that's what I mean, can you get in touch with the collector? For example, if you have this thing in your hand, or it's inferior, I really don't want my museum to have a single domestic treasure. Li Huan sighed: "Otherwise, even if the museum opens at that time, I can't say that this is Chinese own museum...... In the past, it was purely my own play, but now it has given me such great benefits and help, and I can't say that I don't promote my own culture. ”

Li Huan's idea is also very reasonable, at the beginning, Li Huan really didn't expect this much, he just wanted to build his own museum and exhibit his own finishing products. At that time, the government had not given him a supporting complex, so Li Huan didn't care if there was anything Chinese culture, to put it bluntly, it was also his own toy. But it's different now, Li Huan has a supporting complex when he comes back, and it is also a demonstration point for the construction of spiritual civilization, that is to say, this is not Li Huan's toy alone. And Li Huan believes that this thing must be someone from above. How to say it, no matter how awesome a private museum is, it is impossible for him to become the center of a government supporting project, so Li Huan feels that he doesn't know who contributed to it, in short, which big guy above, maybe the big guy he saw when he came back from the underground base in Sichuan Province spoke and named him, so this project can be completed so smoothly.

As for why Li Huan thinks so, it is because this matter is so smooth that it is too magical.

Then think about the underground military base in Sichuan Province, the big guy is amiable and wants to give himself a reward, Li Huan feels that this matter is likely to be ordered by the big guy himself, so it will go so smoothly. But there is no way to ask about this matter, and if you do, it will make things less pretty. But even if Li Huan didn't ask, he could guess that it was probably like this, there must be nothing wrong, it was like this.

Therefore, Li Huan felt that since his superiors looked up to him so much, then he could no longer regard this blank museum as his own toy, since it was the construction of spiritual civilization, he couldn't let everyone only look at oil paintings, gems and sculptures, right? Of course, it is not that these things are not precious, these things are very precious, no matter where they are placed, they are all national treasures...... However, they have never been Chinese culture, and the construction of spiritual civilization has always had to be related to Chinese culture.

So with this thought, Li Huan felt that he had to get some good treasures of his ancestors back.

As for how to get it, digging is definitely not possible, so I have to buy it, fortunately, there are many national treasures that have been scattered abroad before.

Over the past 3,000 years, China has created the greatest civilization in human history, giving birth to the most brilliant culture, so there are many good things left by our ancestors. Many of them are scattered overseas for various reasons, and many of these cultural relics scattered overseas are unique, and there is only one that has been handed down, and some are priceless, rare and peerless national treasures. However, due to various complex reasons, some of these national treasures are collected by foreign museums, some by foreign private collectors, and some are even missing.

These treasures are extremely precious, and some of them represent where China is located.

The most precious, which can be called a national treasure, is the zodiac animal head. The 12 zodiac animal heads were built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the designer was Lang Shining, a famous court painter at that time. These twelve animal heads were originally an important part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. The most special feature of this group of cultural relics is that it uses water to tell the time, and the design is ingenious. Unfortunately, in 1869, the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, countless treasures were destroyed or stolen, and these animal heads were also lost, and they were once scattered overseas. Fortunately, over the years, after many efforts in my country to find out, 7 of the twelve animal heads have returned, but the snake heads, chicken heads, dog heads, and sheep heads are still missing.

Secondly, there are also such as the golden seal of the king of Han and the slave. Japan is also one of the countries with the largest inflow of ancient Chinese cultural relics. Among them, the golden seal of the king of Han is the most precious national treasure. The golden seal of the Han and Japanese kings is an important historical witness to the exchanges between China and Japan in ancient times. According to historical records, in the second year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Japanese slave country sent envoys to pay tribute to the court, and Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu rewarded this king seal made of pure gold.

However, the gold seal was lost for a while, and in the 70s of the last century, two farmers in Kyushu accidentally discovered the gold seal while farming, and the gold seal was engraved with the words "King of Han Weinu", the existence of this gold seal shows that Japan was a vassal state of China at that time. Currently, the Golden Seal is housed in the Fukuoka City Museum in Japan.

In addition to these precious castings, there are also some Chinese paintings that are more precious than oil paintings, such as "The Female Historian". We must have all read about this famous painting in history textbooks. It is the first of the top ten famous paintings in China, which shows its preciousness. "The Female Historian

is a silk painting by Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. But the real original has been lost, and what remains is a copy of the Tang Dynasty.

The original work is also very precious, and it is very vivid and expressive, and it is very close to the original. Unfortunately, in 1900, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, the British ** team plundered it, and now this famous painting is preserved in the British Museum in London, England.

These things are the treasures of our ancestors, although we all know where their collections are, but for some reason, we can't go and ask for them, but don't expect to buy them back. So what Li Huan wants is to retreat to the second, and if it doesn't work, he will pay for it for me. It is said that Shengshi antiques Shengshi antiques, Li Huan wants to buy antiques at this time, but the current situation is not a question of whether the price is or not...... If I don't get a few things that can represent Chinese culture, I'm really embarrassed to open this museum!

But it's futile to try to get it, because these things are too precious, and the people who collect them in their hands will definitely not take them out and sell them unless their families are ruined. Even if the family is ruined, they are willing to take it to the grave to accompany the burial - this is the charm of those rare treasures. Legend has it that "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was brought into the mausoleum by the Tang Dynasty emperor Li Shimin, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

So Li Huan mentioned that he wanted to buy these things, and Luo Sheng only smiled bitterly.

"Then there is no other way?" Li Huan listened to Luo Sheng, although he knew that this was also true, but he still had a little pimple in his heart - is it okay, Lao Tzu is going to rob a museum?

"Rob the ......" Luo Sheng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this: "Mr. Li, I won't say that this is wrong for the time being, even if you snatch it back, can you show it publicly?"

Speaking of this, Li Huan didn't have a burden in his heart, because many of the national treasures that are now scattered abroad are lost because of war or plunder. As early as when the Chinese nation was weak, the invaders used dirty means to get these treasures away, and now I just got them back, and no one can say anything. And Li Huan feels that he has the ability and ability, but what he gets back like this is not visible. Let's take an analogy, Li Huan can completely rely on his own ability to steal some of the lost precious national treasures, if he snatches them back, then the other party will probably have to suffer a dumb loss-because once Li Huan goes to rob it, he will definitely use the ability of a cultivator! You can't stop the other party's special law enforcement agency, and ordinary channels will not leave any evidence.

For example, if Li Huan went to rob the British Museum, would Bellamy's stop or not...... That's a very delicate question.

Stop it, Bellamy really can't get Li Huan now, if you don't stop it, it doesn't seem right to let Li Huan take it. Well, don't dwell on this issue, even if Li Huan gets it away, it can only be taken away - the other party is not only dumb and loses, but what Li Huan gets back must not be displayed publicly. You can slap each other in the face at the level of special channels, but after you finish fighting, you have to show off publicly, that is, to challenge the estimated order, which is two yards. Therefore, what is snatched back cannot be used for public display, which means that there is none.

Li Huan had a headache when he thought of this: "What should I do then?"

"This ......" Luo Sheng smiled bitterly: "I can only say that I will try to help you contact you, but I don't dare to pack tickets and someone is willing to sell them." But I have one thing to say, even if I find someone who is willing to sell, the price will definitely be sky-high, the kind of ungood, understandable sky-high price. So Mr. Li, you have to be mentally prepared, I don't want the money of the middleman, in the end, I am also a Chinese, happy to see the return of national treasures, but I am afraid that no one will sell, even if someone sells, we can't afford it. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as there are good things, try to tell me, and I will take care of everything in the after. Li Huan said firmly: "You don't have to worry about money, there is nothing incomprehensible in this world, as long as you find something for me, it is really a valuable national treasure, then I am willing to pay." ”

Li Huan is really not when he says this, he is really willing to pay.

Although he didn't have a general understanding of the auction of cultural relics, he had heard of some things, such as the auction of the head of the zodiac animal that shocked the world.

Many people first became aware of the heads of animals in the Old Summer Palace in late April and early May 2000, when bronze statues of ox, monkey and tiger heads appeared at the auctions of Christie's Hong Kong and Sotheby's Hong Kong, which aroused the indignation of all sectors of society, especially Chinese-led groups, because they were war plunder.

The so-called plunder of war is the proceeds of illegal plunder by one country from another country during the war, and the proceeds of illegal plunder, if there is evidence after the war, must be returned. Of course, although this matter is illegal, everyone actually acquiesces to the existence of the fact that "whoever takes it belongs to whom", because in war, you have always robbed me and robbed you, and there is no such clear thing that can be said.

But the owners of these beast heads can be said to have broken this unspoken rule, and they openly used the plunder for sale, which caused the indignation of Chinese all over the world at that time. This is not only a lost national treasure, but also involves a period of pain that the Chinese nation is unwilling to mention.

In this case, in the end, China Poly Group participated in the auction and won the bull's head for 7.745 million Hong Kong dollars, the monkey head for 8.185 million Hong Kong dollars, and the tiger head for 15.44475 million Hong Kong dollars. At the beginning of August 2007, the news that Sotheby's Hong Kong was preparing to auction the bronze statue of the horse's head in the Old Summer Palace was revealed, which once again caused an uproar from all walks of life. In the end, after negotiation with the auction house, patriotic entrepreneur Stanley Ho bought it for 69.1 million Hong Kong dollars before the auction was held and donated it to the state.

Prior to that, when Stanley Ho bought the bronze statue of the pig's head back from a Citigroup collector in 2003, it cost less than HK$7 million.

Before these sky-high prices, many people did not know that the initial market price of the bronze statues of the head of the ox, tiger and horse was only $1,500.

In 1985, a Citigroup antique dealer stumbled upon a bronze statue of a horse's head in a private home in California, along with a bronze statue of a bull's head and a tiger's head. At that time, the head of the ox was placed in the bathroom to hang bath towels, and the head of the tiger and the head of the horse were placed as ordinary gardening ornaments by the pool in the garden. The antique dealer bought the three bronze heads for a low price of $1,500 each. From 1987 to 1989, the three bronze beast heads and monkey heads of the Old Summer Palace were sold at auction in New York and London, with the highest price at that time being a horse head at $250,000. The reason why it is the head of a horse is mainly because Emperor Qianlong is a horse, so it is the most exquisite in terms of production technology.

The bronze statue of the head of the rat and the head of the rabbit that has been lost overseas for many years appeared at Christie's auction in France, although the estimate is to be inquired, but market participants said that the estimate may be between 8 million and 10 million euros, with a total price of up to 200 million yuan, which is very unreasonable from both the process and the market point of view: from the process point of view, the rat head, From a market point of view, the world economic and financial crisis is intensifying, and art auction houses have lowered the valuation of the lots, so what is the reason for setting this valuation so high? The only explanation is that it is a "conspiracy".

Due to historical reasons, Chinese people have special feelings for some cultural relics lost overseas, especially those in the Old Summer Palace, because they condense too much historical humiliation and pain, but some businessmen are using this "humiliation and pain" to make money. From $1,500 at the beginning, to 10 million euros now, this is the best example. Previously, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage had clearly opposed the "use of Chinese money" to buy back "China's own things", and some people wanted to take advantage of the historical background of the auctioned goods and the patriotic enthusiasm of Chinese citizens to take advantage of the opportunity to inflate the auction price.

In that year, the relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage sent a letter to Christie's to formally express its strong opposition to the auction of the cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace, and clearly requested that the auction of the relevant cultural relics be withdrawn. On 19 February, Ren Xiaohong, a French lawyer and Chinese living in France, and her partner filed a lawsuit with the Court of First Instance in Paris, France, demanding that the auction of the bronze statue of the head of the rat and rabbit, a cultural relic lost from the Old Summer Palace, be stopped. The Emergency Chamber of the Court of First Instance of Paris issued a ruling on the evening of 23 July, rejecting the claim.

The Beijing Yuanmingyuan Management Office also made it clear that China has unquestionable ownership of cultural relics that have been plundered overseas in history;

"buyback" to buy back the precious Chinese cultural relics that have been "plundered" by others. These texts should be returned to China, to its "native land".

The Chinese are "not bad for money", but they cannot spend money on these looted cultural relics. If the bronze statues of rat heads and rabbit heads are sold at a high price this time, then the next bronze statues of dragon heads, snake heads, sheep heads, chicken heads, and dog heads will not only be 10 million euros, 20 million, and 30 million ,...... , even the price of 100 million euros will appear, which is the biggest shame for the Chinese.

In view of this, the state has stated that the "no buyback" policy will be a sword for those merchants who take the opportunity to speculate on Chinese cultural relics, and will prompt the auction price to fall - it is also this ** that led to the fact that on July 22, 2005, the Tianjin Tanggu Bell cast in the tenth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty officially returned to China, ending its 105-year exile in the United Kingdom. This is the first time that Britain has returned the spoils of aggression free of charge.

But as far as the head of the beast is concerned, there is still a lack of sheep, snakes, chickens, dogs and other animal heads, in addition, there is the most representative "dragon" head, and there is no trace, if these things can be found, then Li Huan's museum is a veritable spiritual civilization education base, and it is not in vain that the big guy ordered his own general. And to put it mildly, the country wants to save face, and it can't pull down its identity to quarrel with those shameless businessmen who hype up Chinese cultural antiques, but Li Huan can, take 10,000 steps back and say, Li Huan can still pay money to buy it back.

Not to mention, when Li Huan saw these news in the past, he could only feel heartache, but now that he has this net worth, it is not difficult to buy some antique artworks that have been lost overseas.

"Okay, then you can help me watch, and you must contact me if there is something. Li Huan made up his mind: "You are an expert in this area, can you recommend some channels for me? In addition to auctions, where else can I get such antiques?"

"This ......" Luo Sheng was a little embarrassed: "Taking the auction is definitely the best way, because it is illegal to trade many things privately now." If someone asked me, I would definitely say no, absolutely not, but Mr. Li, if you really want to ask me...... Yes, but I don't mind you doing that. ”

"Don't say anything else, you can say anything. Li Huan asked.

"Black market! In that place, there are things that cannot be seen in the world, and moreover, they are still those very hot goods, and they cannot be sold in regular auction houses! In addition to antiques, there are also thieves, bearer large bonds, and the like...... Luo Sheng finished speaking, and immediately said: "Mr. Li, although I told you, I really don't recommend you to go, that kind of place is mixed with dragons and snakes, so it's better not to go." Although there are many precious treasures and even some strange items in it, we all know that places like the black market are not necessarily about money...... A lot of the time, they also talk with their fists!"

"Speak with your fists?" Li Huan smiled after hearing this: "Boss Luo, you know that I am a law-abiding businessman, you see, the person who reasoned with me, I will reason with him, if you don't reason with me, then I am also a person who has no reason to talk about...... Don't forget where the gems I commissioned you to auction came from. ”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

He remembered where the things that Li Huan entrusted him to auction came from - this thing is simply a wild Ultraman! That's right, in Luo Sheng's concept, Li Huan is a rich man, and there is also a powerful rich man, generally after this concept is solidified, he will feel that this person is particularly delicate, and he needs eighty bodyguards to accompany him when he goes out, otherwise he won't even go to the toilet. But Li Huan is not, Luo Sheng knows that the things that Li Huan commissioned him to auction and make were all made by himself, and every time Li Huan sent something, Luo Sheng would hear about where and where the treasure was found......

Although Luo Sheng had not seen Li Huan excavate any treasures with his own eyes, Luo Sheng was almost sure that every time Li Huan sent them, it was those things hidden in the fog of history. A person who has the ability to get this kind of thing out, and can come back alive, and can still live very well, is an outlier in his own right. Maybe other young rich people who are about the same as Li Huan will not be able to dress and wash their faces without servants, but Li Huan is different, he can not only dress and wash his face, but also kill people!

If anyone doesn't believe me, ask the hapless community in Hong Kong......

After Li Huan's reminder, Luo Sheng remembered that this is an existence that is not afraid of heaven and earth, although he is rich, but if someone dares to hand him a claw, there is no doubt that he will get a more violent counterattack! Moreover, Luo Sheng's business is now in China, and he probably understands the domestic form, Li Huan is undoubtedly the most difficult to provoke, the whole body is full of stingers, and it will hurt for a lifetime if you touch it. Of course, Li Huan didn't disappoint Luo Sheng, he really did that.

So after Luo Sheng thought about this, he didn't bother anymore.

"Then you have a nearest address, and their auction will start in three days. Luo Sheng said: "I heard that there will be some precious antiquities, and even some stolen goods, but there is an advantage to the things that come out of the black market, that is, no matter what kind of person the previous owner was and where the things came from, the black market always has a way to wash you clean." Let's say a thief steals a vase from your house, and you have your name written on it, and even if the name is not erased, the seller on the black market will be able to guarantee that you have nothing to do with the bottle – and if you still feel relevant, they can make you feel 'it really doesn't matter'. ”

"Understood, do you want an invitation to enter this black market?" asked Li Huan.

"No, you know that this black market has begun, and you are eligible to enter. After all, there are no good people in there, so there is no need for invitations or anything like that. Ill-intentioned people want to rob the seller, and after the buyer buys something, he doesn't want people to know who he is, so the confidentiality work is very strict, and the search is also very dutiful, but the only thing is the bearer system. Luo Sheng explained: "I'll give you an address, and the auction will open in three days, you don't have to say anything, just go in." ”

"Okay, this place seems to be a perfect fit for me, so I'll do it. ”

In the remaining two days, Li Huan began to make up for some knowledge of cultural relics with Chinese characteristics, although Li Huan is not afraid of being pitted by others, let alone robbed by others, but if he pits himself because of his lack of knowledge, it will be a little embarrassing. Therefore, Li Huan saw that there were still two days to go, and this auction was unexpectedly close, and even the venue where figures like Luo Sheng stayed away turned out to be in a small county town in Sichuan Province...... Calculated that he would pass from the mountain city, and it would take him about half a day, so Li Huan simply made up for his knowledge.

Li Huan's evil is also easy to make up, he doesn't have to learn slowly like everyone else, just open a plug-in and buy it directly: "Xiaofei, do you have antique firm skills?"

Although Li Huan's faith points have not risen much for a long time now, he has not used many faith points later, and is generally using super-nuclear element energy, so Li Huan still has a lot of faith points - and he doesn't know if he doesn't look at it, he was shocked when he saw it, his faith points had accumulated to nearly 200 million!

Li Huan glanced at it and was taken aback: "Xiaofei, what is your situation, why do you have so many credit points!?"

"What's so strange about this?" Xiao Fei was very calm: "Hasn't it been rising slowly?"

"Rising slowly? What is the situation rising slowly, this is when I rose the craziest, and it didn't reach 200 million!" Li Huan was a little confused: "There are so many people in this world who know my existence? That's impossible, if that's the case, I'd already become a superstar! I walk on the street, every 30 people know me, what kind of concept! Is this a statistical error, I haven't released any shows for a long time, Yu Ting's movie hasn't been launched yet, where do these faith points come from?"

"This world, who told you that there is only this world?" Xiao Fei asked rhetorically: "Have you only been to this world? Have you forgotten that you still have a world? Faith is a very idealistic thing, as long as a life likes to revere you from the bottom of its heart, there will be faith points in the account...... I remember when I was on Lake Baikal, it was very difficult for me to create a space crossing point, and at that time you only had a few faith points, and you didn't have many supernuclear elements, so you could only know a space to throw grenades, why did you develop so much at once?"

"That's right, that's it!" Li Huan looked at the settled faith points and was a little confused
