Listening to the pronunciation of this Asian-faced man, Zhuang Rui frowned slightly, turned sideways to Huang Fuyun and asked, "Do you know who he is?"

Although the Japanese are not popular now, the Chinese seem to recognize the existence of the Japanese from their nature, and perhaps the two countries have too many intersections in history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That person's name is Mao Watanabe, a senior executive and shareholder of Sony Corporation in Japan, in charge of the business ...... Sony Pictures Corporation in the United States."

When Huang Fuyun used to be a lawyer, he was a high-end person, and he was more familiar with people who were active in the upper class of American society.

"American Sony?"

Zhuang Rui's heart shook when he heard this, it was a behemoth, one of Hollywood's absolute predator-level film and television companies, and the identity of this middle-aged Japanese man was far from being comparable to those big-name stars.

Sony originally had no film and television business, but after spending tens of billions of dollars to acquire Columbia Pictures Group and MGM Pictures one after another, Sony Pictures Entertainment Co., Ltd. became one of the six major Hollywood studios.

Zhuang Rui glanced at Bonadette, then at Mao Watanabe, and thought angrily in his heart: "Grandma, let you protect little Japan? sooner or later, your economic system will be eaten away......

Japan's cheap light cars, which once ran on famous car brands such as Ford in the United States, and almost went bankrupt, have now begun to enter the American market culturally.

"Mr. Mao Watanabe, the bid for these precious ancient books is five and a half million dollars, gentlemen and ladies, these ancient books can all be copied by ancient Chinese artists by hand, and their value is immeasurable, and there are any friends who can bid again?"

William saw that Zhuang Rui did not increase the price at the first time, and began to show off his skills as the world's number one auctioneer, not to mention, his explanation really attracted the attention of several super-rich people on the scene.

"Six Million Dollar ......"

The one who asked for the price was also an Asian face, and after shouting the price, he raised the wine glass in his hand and nodded to Zhuang Rui.

"Superman?!"

Zhuang Rui was stunned when he saw the man, this is the successor of Hong Kong Cheung Kong Industrial, in Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland, the rich man surnamed Li, who is known as the little superman, but Bonadette should have invited his father to attend this charity auction.

In recent years, the richest Chinese man has gradually faded out of people's field of vision, and his two sons, one is a self-made entrepreneur, and the other is taking care of the family business, and gradually become well-known.

"Seven Million Dollar ......"

Although he has a relationship with Li Xiaochaoren, Zhuang Rui does not want to give up the competition for the manuscript of "Yongle Canon", in fact, if it is about market value, "Yongle Canon" may be far inferior to Zhuang Rui's collection of some treasures, such as Dingguang Sword and so on.

However, the Yongle Canon carries the most detailed history of the development of Chinese civilization before the 14th century, which is equivalent to a condensed society, in which there are countless topics for modern historians to study, and its historical value is almost surpassedby antiques.

You must know that when archaeologists rescue the excavation of ancient tombs, those cultural relics with relatively valuable economic value are not the most important for them, and what they want to find is often things with words, such as bamboo slips and scrolls written on silk, these objects, in the minds of archaeologists and historians, their value is far greater than those antiques that can be sold at shocking prices.

These six Yongle Canons alone are far from comparable to any of the items in Zhuang Rui's collection, and they are the most detailed and detailed information from 600 years ago.

Zhuang Rui has been studying archaeology for more than two years, and psychologically, he has gradually changed from an antique collector to a half-collector and half-scholar, so he will be so excited and out of shape after seeing the "Yongle Canon", which is already the only one.

"$8 million ......"

After Hong Kong's little superman called out seven million, Mao Watanabe almost didn't pause, and directly added another million dollars, Mao Watanabe's face was very calm, in Zhuang Rui's opinion, he should really want to get these six "Yongle Canon".

For Watanabe and Hong Kong's Li Sheng and others, money is just a number, these super-rich people may be very frugal, but their consumption level and concept are very different from ordinary people.

In Hong Kong, there used to be a super-rich man who started as a tie, usually eating and traveling is very simple, but he only likes to watch sports events, and he can't enjoy watching it on TV, and spent tens of millions of dollars to buy a luxury airliner, which is specially used for him to watch sports games around the world, this kind of behavior, people have been difficult to describe their lives with luxury or simplicity.

"$9 million ......"

Hong Kong's Li Sheng raised his hand again, in fact, he didn't have much interest in these six "Yongle Canon" from China, mainly to participate in the charity auction today, in order to show respect and support for the owner, how much money is always spent to auction something, and so far, only these six books are estimated to be able to have a little relationship with China, and they are competing with small supertalents.

With the Li family's investment in Hong Kong and around the world, whether it is financial strength or influence, it is not much worse than Japan's Sony company, as for Zhuang Rui's net worth, it is even less in the eyes of Little Superman, and most of the billions are fixed assets, so that Little Superman does not regard Zhuang Rui as an opponent at all.

At this moment, Superman is full of confidence, unless these books are auctioned at a price that is too far from the actual value, Superman will not give up.

"10 million US dollars, two esteemed friends, my family has a collection of 22 rare books of the Yongle Canon, if you add these six volumes, it is 28 volumes, Chinese there is a saying that a gentleman does not take the favor of others, and I hope that the two can fulfill the ......"

After shouting out the second highest price tonight, Mao Watanabe from Japan walked in the direction of Zhuang Rui and Little Superman, and bowed deeply, his mind Zhuang Rui understood very well, this Japanese buddy is reasoning with himself, this thing can be made up a little more in our family, so it is more appropriate for me to shoot it away.

"Mr. Mao Watanabe, I'm really sorry, the Yongle Dictionary has a total of 222 volumes in the National Library of China, I think...... It would be better to display such a precious cultural relic outside for more people to see and understand......"

Zhuang Rui glanced at Watanabe Mao lightly, if you count according to the number of collections, those in your family who don't know how to collect the fragments of the "Yongle Canon", do you have to return them to China? Didn't Watanabe just say, who will give more to whom!

"20 million dollars! Mao Watanabe, I feel that these ancient books are more significant in my library, what do you think?"

Zhuang Rui directly doubled the original auction price, only one million short of the ruby he auctioned, for these scattered "Yongle Canon" abroad, Zhuang Rui is bound to win.

You must know that although there are private collections of "Yongle Canon" abroad, few people conduct public auctions, and Zhuang Rui is absolutely unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

"$20 million, isn't that a bit too high?"

"Yes, my appraiser just told me that the price of these ancient books should be between five million and eight million dollars, and this young man is a little impulsive......

"It's just a few books, it's not worth that much money, is it?"

After Zhuang Rui shouted a high price of 20 million US dollars, the venue suddenly became a sensation, these super-rich people from all over the world, almost all of them are the most successful businessmen in their respective fields, they have been used to using money to measure the value of an item, so Zhuang Rui shouted the price, a little incomprehensible.

"Zhuang Rui, isn't this price a little too high?"

Huang Fuyun gently pulled him beside Zhuang Rui, after taking over the overall work of the Dingguang Museum, Huang Fuyun often participates in antique auctions held around the world, and the prices of these books and antiques are also very clear, he now feels that Zhuang Rui is a little arrogant.

Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, "Brother Huangfu, these things can't be bought with money on weekdays, so now I can solve them with money, and I must buy them......"

"Yongle Canon" belongs to the kind of antiques that have no price, and its value also has a lot of room for speculation, at least after Zhuang Rui bought it this time, if there is a fragment of "Yongle Canon" for sale in the future, its auction price may also refer to Zhuang Rui's current price, so in a sense, the money he spent has not depreciated.

"Mr. Zhuang from China, bid $20 million, Mr. Watanabe, Mr. Li, do you still insist on pocketing these ancient books?"

After Zhuang Rui shouted the high price of 20 million, it seemed that Mao Watanabe and Little Superman were a little surprised, and the scene became silent for a while, and William had to use his expertise to save the scene.

"I give up, I want to ...... These ancient books will play a greater role in Mr. Zhuang's hands!"

Chinese abroad have always been known for their disunity, but Little Superman did not fall into the ground, shrugged his shoulders and directly withdrew from the bid.
