Sgut heard Zheng Xudong say the idea of the MV of "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE", and exclaimed: "Anton, this idea is really what you came up with?"

When Zheng Xudong heard this, he was a little unhappy and poked him in the arm with his elbow, "Hey! What do you mean by that? It's not something I came up with, it's something you think of! Why, has someone already used this idea?"

"No, no, no, Anton, I didn't mean that, I was just stunned by this novel idea of yours. The idea is so good, minimalist and not simple. I find that I appreciate you more and more. Scott said there.

"Why, you appreciate me so much, I don't give you a salary, do you still appreciate it?!" Zheng Xudong said jokingly.

Scott laughed awkwardly, "You won't, after all, I also have to eat, and I have a large family to raise." You say, don't you!?"

Zheng Xudong didn't continue to joke with him, but asked: "What kind of work have you arranged for me when I came to the United States this time?" ”

When Scott heard the serious matter, he also said with a serious face: "The main job of your coming this time is to finish filming the MV of "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE", I was still worried about what to do before you came, after listening to you, then the rest of the work will be simple, I will organize the filming crew after I arrive in Los Angeles, and as soon as you return to New York, we will shoot and strive to get it done within one day." Then there's a book signing, and your single has been handed over to Warner Records for production, and Warner is urging me to do a book signing, so they can quickly put your single on the market and make money, and your two new books. Oh my God, that's wonderful! I'm going to hold a signing session in Times Square in New York, and before the signing session, I'm going to let you sing the song "BABY" in Times Square first, of course, it must be a continuous singing and dancing. If you've got that done and you've got time for it, it's time for some small meet-ups. Organize some of your hardcore fans to interact with you on the spot. It's also some of the perks you give to your fans. ”

Zheng Xudong thought for a while, aren't all current celebrities this routine, if you want to succeed, this is the only way, nodded and said: "Okay, just do as you say!" After speaking, he saw that the time was just after nine o'clock in the evening, and said to Scott: "You go and call Sean over, I have something to talk to him." ”

Scott said, "Okay." He stood up and greeted Sean, who was already snoring next to him.

After Sean came over, Zheng Xudong said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep!"

"It doesn't matter, I've gotten used to it, being a lawyer in our profession, often running on the road for the client morning or night, sometimes the client calls you up in the middle of the night with a phone call, saying that you are drunk driving, or hurt someone, or someone hurts. At this point, you have to get out of bed no matter how much you don't want to, even if you're working your wife! Say, what's the matter?" Sean said helplessly at him.

"I just want to ask what the price of those antiques has been for these days, and what is the matter with the fisherman's ring?" Zheng Xudong told him the question in his heart.

Sean came to his senses as soon as he heard his question, "I want to tell you if you don't ask, since you held an antique appraisal meeting that day, my phone calls haven't stopped." I'm going to be annoyed to death, but don't tell me, these things are expensive, and you can't even guess the highest bid. Sean looked at him with a look of anger.

"Isn't it the Declaration of Independence? I think it should be of the highest value. Zheng Xudong has always thought so.

"No, the Declaration of Independence is just a historical testimony of a period of a country, and it has a surviving printed version of it, so it has little artistic value. Guess and see if you can guess?"

Zheng Xudong remembered that the oil painting he bought at the New York airport had been auctioned at a sky-high price in later generations, and it was the most valuable auction work at that time, and he had seen it in the time and space lock, and the auction price was $450 million at that time, plus the handling fee, a total of $470 million, setting the highest price in the history of art auctions, and the highest price Sean said should be it, "Is it the oil painting with Jesus Christ's "Savior"?"

"Yes, that's it. I didn't expect someone to bid $400 million for this painting! Is it because I'm out of touch with the world, or are the people in this world crazy!" Sean said as he sat there with a confused expression.

Zheng Xudong didn't expect that this painting was sold later in 2017, but now it is 2010, and there are still people bidding so high, selling, you have to sell it, and the transaction price of 450 million in 2017 was sold at auction, which is a sky-high fee for the auction company. But now this kind of private transaction fee between individuals is saved, besides, he can get the 400 million US dollars seven years in advance, and he will double the money in seven years!

"When I go back to China this time, you remind me to sell this painting to this guy who is bidding for $400 million. Zheng Xudong said.

"Okay, I got it. ”

"What is the price of several other antiques?" Zheng Xudong really wanted to know the price of these things.

"The highest bid for your Kangxi Treasure Knife is 65 million yuan. ”

"So low!" Zheng Xudong said with some surprise when he heard the price.

"Oh my God, Adong, this is not low, do you know, I checked the transaction prices of various knives in the auctions over the years, and you are the highest. It's almost ten million dollars. People who are willing to collect such things as knives are not as good as works of art such as oil paintings, which are very niche, so the price cannot go up. You should be content!" Sean said to him.

"It's not interesting! It's only 10 million US dollars, I'll keep this knife for myself, anyway, there's no shortage of 10 million, you say yes!" Zheng Xudong said and saw Sean's face darkened, Sean gritted his teeth and said to him: "Do you know, you look very underwhelmed now, if I can't beat you, I will definitely beat you now! Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world have never seen 10 million dollars, and you actually said that you don't lack 10 million, it's really enough to be beaten." ”

"Okay, let's not irritate you, let's move on to a few other things!" Zheng Xudong said with a smile.

Sean shook his head helplessly and continued: "There is also that Suzumaru Hengji Katana, and the highest price is only two million dollars. It is far less valuable than your country's Kangxi treasure knife. ”

"Of course, what is the Counting Bead Pill, created by a folk workshop, for a slightly famous monk, how can it be compared to the saber of the lord of our prosperous dynasty. It's an insult to us. This knife is so worthless, so let's keep it for yourself. "I can't say that when I think about it. Sure enough, Sean looked at him with a dark face, "Can you not show off your wealth!" Zheng Xudong decisively closed his mouth.

"Then there's the Declaration of Independence, which is so valuable that the highest price is willing to pay $310 million for it, and it's a Japanese man. ”

"The Japanese are willing to pay 310 million dollars!"

"Yes. That's exactly what they say, and they pay as soon as you're willing to transfer. ”

Zheng Xudong laughed twice, "It seems that the Americans want to get their national treasure back this time." ”

"As an American, I still want you to sell the Declaration of Independence to the United States, but of course, that's just my personal opinion. Sean said after sitting there and shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, Sean, I promise you that as long as your country is willing to offer a price that satisfies me, I will sell it to the United States. ”

Sean put his shoulder on Zheng Xudong's shoulder, "Thank you! Our United States has a history of more than 200 years, and there are really not many things that belong to us." He took a sip of water and continued, "Since the Code of Hammurabi and Pompeii's gold armor are missing, I won't tell you the price of these two things, so as not to make you sad. Now all that remains are the two paintings, Edvard Munch's "The Scream" with a maximum price of $80 million, and Leonardo da Vinci's "The Virgin Mary and Adaminde" for $120 million. That's basically it, it's up to you to sell or not. ”

"No, didn't anyone bid for the red wine I found at the bottom of the sea, and didn't you ask for the fisherman's ring?" asked Zheng Xudong with some curiosity.

"Don't you say that I really forgot, the red wine you found at the bottom of the sea is really bid, and it is not low, the highest bid is 80,000 US dollars a bottle, and he will ask for as much wine as you want. I didn't expect this wine to be so valuable!" Sean said with obvious envy.

"Alas, isn't it just a bottle of wine! When the United States is in business this time, I'll give you a bottle when I return to China." Put away your eyes, I'm a straight man. Originally, Sean was very happy to hear him say that he gave him a bottle of red wine, but he didn't expect that the ending would say that he was "bent". He slammed him with his fist, "I wanted to say thank you, you really can't speak, and I'm also a straight man!"

Zheng Xudong said with a smile: "Yes, you too, we are both straight men." Let's talk about fishermen's precepts. ”

"Fisherman's ring, what is there to say, didn't you just say that this was not going to be sold, so I rejected those who offered. In fact, among your antiques, the real highest price is this fisherman's ring, but since you are not going to sell it, I didn't say anything about it just now. ”

"How much are they willing to pay?" asked Zheng Xudong anxiously.

"The highest bid was $550 million, including the ring and five gold coins. After Sean finished speaking, he saw Zheng Xudong's eyes flashing with dollar signs, "You won't regret it, you want to sell them." ”

Zheng Xudong laughed coldly twice, "I just don't sell it, then I can't give it to the Holy See for nothing, I don't owe it a favor, I have to know how much this right ring is worth, and then the Holy See has to pay what price to take it back." Sean, can you help me think about what is worth half a billion dollars right now?"

"Five hundred million dollars? God, that's an astronomical amount to me, and I can't think of anything worth that much other than equity or a big real estate project?"
