VIP Volume 1289 Rich and Rival Country
After successfully recovering the auspicious ruyi gourd bottle, Zhang Kun ran away with the remaining buyers one after another in the next few days, and when Zhang Kun came to the door with the contract and check, everyone fulfilled the additional terms in accordance with the rules of the contract.
The recovery of 29 antiques went smoothly and there were no twists and turns.
After that, Zhang Kun went to Chu Zhongtian's company and home many times, and under many persuasions and insistence, Chu Zhongtian reluctantly agreed to recover the principal of 50 million, but he refused to ask for the interest of 15 million.
In the end, Zhang Kun compromised, which can be regarded as inheriting Chu Zhongtian's favor.
Then, at the Yenching Museum, a small donation event was held in the Yenching Museum, and no reporters or guests were invited, just some of the museum's staff.
Then, for this donation activity, the Yenching Museum was even temporarily closed for half a day.
These are all requested by Zhang Kun.
A total of 33 items were donated, in addition to the 31 antiques that Zhang Kun took out for sale, there were also two bronzes.
Bronzes are precious cultural relics that are prohibited from trading by laws and regulations, so even if Zhang Kun was short of money before, he didn't dare to do such illegal things, but there was no problem with donations.
And the thirty-one antiques, although a few of them belong to the Ming vessels, they can be regarded as shady objects.
However, Zhang Kun's previous temporary sale has already exposed these to a certain extent, so Zhang Kun does not consider this.
And this time in the action of the stock market, Zhang Kun also gained a certain degree of national favor, so even if some of his actions crossed the line a little bit, presumably the country will consider that he has no merit and hard work, and he should turn a blind eye.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Kun made this move of donating 33 cultural relics at a time.
And Zhang Kun's donation has also caused a considerable degree of sensation in the Yenching Museum, after all, the cumulative value of the items donated by Zhang Kun this time has exceeded 4 billion yuan in terms of market value.
Not to mention this year, even if it goes back to the beginning of the museum's construction, it is the largest donation.
In particular, this batch of donated items is all excellent, both in terms of condition and its historical value.
On this day, everyone in the Yenching Museum remembered one name, Zhang Kun.
In the next few days, even though Wen Zhiming repeatedly emphasized that the donation should be kept secret and not spread to the outside world, it still slowly spread out.
The entire Yanjing antiques circle was shocked, especially those buyers who had been Zhang Kun.
Spend a lot of money to redeem it, but instead of collecting it yourself, you donate it.
Is this really a lot of money burning?
Only a few people were silent about Zhang Kun's actions.
Hou Baoguo, Wen Zhiming, Qi Xiangyang .......
However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Kun, after donating all 33 antiques, the two things he promised Yao Zhiping are all completed.
Although there were some twists and turns during the period, Zhang Kun also became a villain once, but fortunately, the final result was quite satisfactory, and he was barely worthy of Yao Zhiping's spirit in the sky.
At this time, Zhang Kun had already stepped on the plane to Hong Kong Island.
The courtyard and thirty-one antiques have all been redeemed, and all he has to do is to repay the money to Old Man Lu and Cao Haoran.
Although if he just repaid the money, he could just ask the two of them to come to the bank account and call them, but obviously he couldn't do this this time.
Without saying the reason or the effect, he opened his mouth to borrow two billion from the two.
If he really didn't know how to talk about the past before, and now that the matter is over, he should give an explanation to the two of them.
No matter how close the relationship between the three is, two billion is not a small number after all.
Moreover, a happy birthday is coming, so Zhang Kun must go to Hong Kong Island this time.
In the afternoon, when Xingfu saw Zhang Kun, Xingfu was very happy, and threw himself into Zhang Kun's arms and held on to it.
I haven't seen him for almost half a year, Xingfu has grown a lot taller, and his hair has also grown, to the extent of a shawl, reaching the appearance of Zhang Kun and Xingfu when they first met, combing a princess braid, plus a white long dress.
Lively and lively at the same time, but without losing the elegant temperament.
In the evening, a small family banquet was held in the Lu family villa, and Mr. Lu invited Cao Haoran and Zhang Xifeng and his wife.
After the meal, Zhang Xifeng, who was already very pregnant, went to play with happiness, and then Zhang Kun and Cao Haoran, the old man of Lu, sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.
At the beginning of the small talk, Zhang Kun slowly told everything that had happened recently, without hiding anything.
During this period, Old Man Lu and Cao Haoran all listened quietly and did not interject, until Zhang Kun finished speaking, Old Man Lu pondered for a while before slowly speaking.
"Zhang Kun, what you did was actually very irrational. β
"You must know that the power of any individual is insignificant in the face of the general trend. β
"And this time the storm in the mainland A-share market has been laid out as early as last year. If it was stopped last year, then with only personal strength, there may still be a chance, but when the time develops to June this year, the trend of the A-share avalanche has become a general trend, so no individual can return to the sky. β
"This individual is not just talking about you, but looking at the whole world, no one can rely on his own strength to turn the tide at that time. β
"Unless someone's financial resources can really reach the level of being rich and rivaling the country. β
"But the rich rival country has been an exaggerated adjective since the beginning of creation, and from ancient times to the present, no one has ever really reached the point of being rich and rivaling the country. β
"Let's talk about the most famous figures in Chinese history who are said to be 'rich and rival the country', Liu Jin, He Shen, Fan Li, and Shen Wansan, all of whom are known as rich and rival countries. β
"Liu Jin, the richest eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, was executed and found to have 12 million ounces of gold and 259 million ounces of silver, while the Ming treasury had less than 70 million ounces of silver. β
"He Shen, the red man next to Emperor Qianlong. As a tax administrator, he has great power, and he is also a relative of the emperor, taking advantage of his position to form a party for personal gain and accumulate money. β
He also personally ran industry and commerce, opened 75 pawnshops, set up more than 300 large and small silver accounts, and had business dealings with the British East India Company and the 13 Guangdong Banks. β
Then after Qianlong's death, Jiaqing punished He Shen, and after He Shen's death, 60 million ounces of silver, 70,000 fur and 4,288 gold bricks were found from his home, totaling 8 trillion taels of silver, equivalent to the tax revenue of the Qing government for 50 to 80 years. In the Wall Street Journal, he was once named the richest man in the world in the eighteenth century. β
"Not to mention Fan Li and Shen Wansan, one is known as the originator of merchants, and the other has built one-third of Nanjing City, so they are both called rich and rival countries. β
