Chapter 897: Thanks for letting the dragon head go home!
Cowardly, how can the people of our Great Sun Empire be cowardly?!"
"Five million dollars!"
The island merchant stood up again and said hoarsely.
It seems that he is doing his best, and he is cheering himself up, using his momentum to intimidate his opponent.
But is Li Jun someone who can be frightened by his momentum?
Apparently not!
And he is not Lao Cai either.
Just to fight for a breath and then let the auction genre.
He didn't care about the price to take the dragon's head.
The other party's voice was loud, and his eyes were still fiercely threatening.
Li Junniao is not a bird.
He's not crazy like Lao Cai.
As soon as Lao Cai bought the national treasure beast in France and did not pay, most of the Chinese people cheered for the "unsuccessful auction" of the beast head, and some people did not agree with this behavior. It is believed that Lao Cai's behavior is clearly stipulated in French law - it is called "folle enchere", which can be translated as "crazy auction", which means bidding like a madman.
Crazy auction refers to the auction of "goods that exceed the ability to pay" due to mental stress, mistakes, or sudden financial crises after the auction.
When this happens, the auctioneer has not yet paid, but after the hammer is dropped, he is already the property holder, and the price of the goods becomes his debt – unless the auctioneer, the buyer, and the seller agree to cancel the auction. Usually such incidents occur mostly as "unintentional" negligence, which is counted as a civil dispute.
And Lao Cai made it clear that his move was for the purpose of obstructing the auction, so it would not end in a "failed auction".
It is to pay liquidated damages of 6 million euros for the total auction price of more than 30 million euros.
Lao Cai's patriotic feelings at that time moved many Chinese people, but China's reform and opening up, as a major country that is more and more closely integrated with international standards, cannot only rely on wishful thinking in handling international affairs.
And the art market is a very honest market. And often only those who master the rules of the game will win in the end.
Lao Cai's approach is "smart" and heroic in the eyes of Chinese people, but it is indeed dishonorable in the eyes of foreigners, and in addition to large fines or liquidated damages, he also comes at the cost of the reputation of integrity of Chinese collectors and art dealers.
"Baga, he's crazy shooting, he's screaming at the price!"
The island merchant roared unwillingly at this time.
directly said that Li Jun was crazy shooting.
However, the people around him booed the businessmen of the island country for a while, and they didn't dare to bid with the other party again, so they said that it was a crazy auction, which was really shameful.
"He's definitely crazy, how can Huaxia people have so much money!"
The white American next to him, the business partner of the businessman of the island country, also shook his head at this time.
This Yamalu-kun was jealous of others, and he also slandered the reputation of that merchant in Huaxia, and he considered whether to continue to cooperate with such a bad character island businessman in the future.
The British loser is now dancing with joy.
The dragon's head had already been auctioned for five million dollars, far exceeding his expectations.
The five million for ordinary people can spend a lifetime, but for the British loser, he thought it would cost him a few months.
"Ten million dollars. ”
Li Jun's offer again directly slumped the island businessman into a chair, and this time he was really cowardly.
The other party spends a lot of money!
Is Li Jun's price high?
It is indeed high.
But the money is famous.
When he donated to the country in the name of the company, Li Jun undoubtedly had an extra layer of talisman in Huaxia.
Compared with the later generations, Sotheby's Auction Company announced that it would auction the bronze statue of the horse's head in the name of the "Eight-Nation Alliance-Relics of the Old Summer Palace". When the news broke, there was an uproar from all walks of life.
The China Special Fund for the Rescue of Lost Overseas Cultural Relics took the lead in issuing a statement "resolutely opposing the public auction of the bronze statue of the horse's head", and proposed that the return of the horse's head should be realized in a public welfare way. At the critical moment, Dr. Stanley Ho, a patriotic entrepreneur from Hong Kong and Macao and a consultant of the National Treasure Project, purchased the bronze statue of the horse's head for HK$69.1 million and announced that it would be donated to the country.
The bronze statues of the head of the rat and the head of the rabbit were sold for 14 million euros respectively in Paris, and Li Jun's 10 million dollars was relatively not that much.
"$10 million once!"
"$10 million twice!"
"$10 million three times!"
"Congratulations to that gentleman for winning the bronze beast-headed dragon head from the Old Summer Palace!"
The auction host congratulated loudly.
"The faucet can go home!"
The Chinese who had participated in the auction sighed in his heart.
That is the expectation of more than a billion Chinese people, and the 12 zodiac national treasures can go home and return to China.
They've been away from home for too long, too long.
If the dragon head can come back, will the other beast heads be far away?
Get the Dragonhead.
Former Marvel President Logan congratulated Li Jun for the first time.
Soon, the news of the dragon beast's auction in the US imperialist also appeared in the Chinese newspapers.
Because Li Jun instructed to donate to the country.

It has been reported.
In the Opium War, the West saw the stagnation of the Qing Dynasty and saw through its "essence of the vase", and finally began to invade China. In 1860, the British and French forces rescued and burned down the Old Summer Palace.
The Old Summer Palace was a treasure house, and it was also the largest royal museum and art gallery in the world at that time, with many treasures, books and masterpieces of art. It contains rare cultural relics such as calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, secret mansion classics, bell and ding treasures, gold and silver jewelry, etc., which concentrate the essence of ancient culture. The Old Summer Palace is also a garden of exotic trees and flowers, with millions of precious flowers and trees. Westerners who have seen the Old Summer Palace in its entirety call it the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens".
There are bronze ritual vessels from the pre-Qin period of China, to the famous calligraphy and paintings of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as various rare treasures, including the bronze statues of the heads of the 12 zodiac animals and national treasures.
The famous French writer Victor Hugo, in his "Letter to Captain Butler on the Anglo-French Expedition to China", strongly condemned the atrocities of the Anglo-French forces burning the Old Summer Palace after the Second Opium War, as Hugo described and criticized: One day, two robbers from Europe broke into the Old Summer Palace. One robber looted the property, and the other set it on fire...... The two robbers who will be punished by history, one is called France, and the other is called England.
That war directly disgraced the Celestial Empire, which claimed to be a great empire of five thousand years, after all, the strength of both sides was not in a proportion. At that time, the Anglo-French army had 17,700 men and 173 warships. All of the Qing Dynasty totaled 290,000 people. The battlefield is still in the Qing Dynasty, and the geographical advantage is huge, but a good hand of cards makes the Qing Dynasty play a bad game.
More than 10,000 British and French troops burned the Old Summer Palace and then took away our bronze statues of the twelve zodiac beast heads in the Old Summer Palace, and before they had time to recover those cultural relics, the next war of aggression made the Qing Dynasty at that time overwhelmed. Many of the artifacts that were looted at that time have not been returned to this day. Not long ago, the leader of the Old Summer Palace appeared in the United States and was auctioned by a Chinese for $10 million.
He is willing to donate the national treasure of the dragon head to the country free of charge!
Thanks to the patriotic Chinese for letting the dragon head go home!/13_13019/
