Chapter 290: The Third Ring Mission

……

Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, the third ring of the museum's mission was finally within the scope of his expectations, and there was no '100 first-class artworks, 1,000 second-class artworks, and 10,000 third-level artworks', this most unfortunate situation, if this is the case, even if there is a year to complete, Wang Zheng himself has little confidence.

"It seems that the task of the third ring of the museum is not too difficult, and it can be completed in less than a year!" Wang Zheng said in his heart.

In the spring auctions of major auction houses around the world in May and June, Wang Zheng spent a huge price of nearly 5 billion Chinese coins, and there were not a few artworks bought. There are more than 10 works of art that can be called the first class. Counting the five first-class artworks that I got from Zhao Defang and Mai Hongbo before. In addition, when I went to the magic capital to participate in the fish exhibition, I bought the Mi Fu cursive handscroll and Tian Huang Frozen Stone Songyi ornaments, as well as the completion of the task of Wang Ying to give the 'Qing Dynasty Silk Pavilion full volume', Wang Zheng's first-class artwork has reached twenty-one.

After deducting the eleven items needed for the first and second ring tasks combined, there are still ten left. In other words, Wang Zheng only needs to buy ten more first-class artworks to complete the first task condition of the third ring of the 'Museum Mission'.

But even so, Wang Zheng is more willing to complete the task of 200 second-level artworks or 2,000 third-level artworks.

A first-class work of art, even if it is one, is not easy to get hold of. After all, major auction houses only hold such grand auction ceremonies as the Spring Auction, only twice a year.

Wang Zheng wants to buy more than a dozen first-class artworks at once like this time, unless he waits for another half a year. At that time, the autumn auctions of major auction houses will be another opportunity for him!

Of course, half a year is not a long time compared to the one-year time limit of the museum's third ring mission, but Wang Zheng does not plan to wait passively. Prepare for everything in advance so that you don't end up in a hurry.

"It seems that the treasure hunt is going to be hurried!"

With a plan in his heart, Wang Zheng waved his hand, and with the appearance of the humanoid light cluster, a middle-aged man of medium stature and ordinary appearance appeared in front of him.

"Master!"

"From now on, you will be called Wang Jiu!" Wang Zheng nodded and said.

"Yes!"

"Qianzi, you take Wang Jiu down, take him to get familiar with here, and arrange for him to live by the way!"

"Yes!"

"One more thing...... Has there been any movement on Zhao Defang's side recently?"

"Not yet, but during this time, the other party has been secretly recruiting mercenaries from the world, and I believe that the Zhao family will take action soon!"

nodded clearly, "Keep an eye on, don't relax, remember to inform me in time if there is any situation!"

"Yes!"

"Let's go down!"

After letting Wang Qian leave with the newly-born 'comprehensive antique appraiser' Wang Jiu, Wang Zheng sat on the sofa in the living room, recalling the coordinates of the 'Sussex' shipwreck that came to mind. After thinking for a while, he pressed the 'Planet Call Terminal' on his left wrist, "Wang Lei?"

"Boss, what do you command?"

"Are you busy right now?"

"Not busy!"

"Inconvenient around?"

"Convenient, the boss has something to say!"

Then, Wang Zheng swiped lightly on the call terminal, followed by a blue beam of light, Wang Lei's vivid image has appeared in front of Wang Zheng, just like the most real 3D movie, and the powerful technology terminal makes the two sides seem to really sit face to face.

"Boss!"

After signaling to Wang Lei that he didn't need to be polite, "How many pieces of art have we already gotten back?"

"There are 5 first-class artworks, 67 second-class artworks, and 483 third-class artworks. That's about half of all the artworks we're bidding on this time!"

"How long is it left?"

"It can be shipped to the lodge in two weeks at most!"

"That's good!" Wang Zheng nodded, according to the number of antiques that have been obtained in the villa now, the second and third items of the third ring task of the museum can be completed in two or three months at most. But it's not so easy to get together twenty first-class artworks.

But fortunately, there is plenty of time.

"Do we have enough exhibition space?"

"The Ceramics Museum, the Calligraphy and Painting Museum, the Jade and Jewelry Museum, the Bronze Miscellaneous Museum and the Western Art Museum, the exhibition area of the five collections is nearly 100,000 square meters, which is more than enough for 1,629 works of art!"

"That's good...... Oh, by the way, is there an eyebrow about buying a jewelry company?"

"I already have eyebrows, and now I am negotiating with the other party!"

"Oh, which jewelry company?" asked Wang Zheng.

"The Gülen Jewelry Company!"

"Gulan Jewels?" Wang Zheng shook his head, the name was very unfamiliar to him. In fact, Wang Zheng is very unfamiliar with the entire jewelry industry. Except for Chow Tai Fook and Lao Fengxiang, the top jewelry brands in China, Wang Zheng has heard of them because of the frequent advertising bombardment on TV, and other jewelry companies are unheard of.

"Does it meet our requirements?"

"Yes! Gulen Jewellery has 218 branches across the country, and there are its own jewelry stores in most major cities across the country. Moreover, the business scope also involves major jewelry categories such as gold, diamonds, and jadeite. In addition, they also have a jewelry processing center in the magic capital. But ......?"

"But what?"

"Although the other party promised to sell the company, the price was a little more expensive!"

"How much do they offer?"

"1.5 billion!"

"1.5 billion?" Wang Zheng thought for a while, "Do you think it's worth it?"

"Although compared to the total assets of Gulen Jewelry, the price of 1.5 billion is relatively high. However, their finances are still healthy, and the company's business has not improved mainly due to operational problems, so I think the price of 1.5 billion is still acceptable. After all, if you want to acquire a company with decent finances, the success rate is very low if you don't buy it at a premium. ”

"Since you think you can, buy it. Hurry up, as long as it's not the other party's lion opening his mouth, it doesn't matter if you give more money!"

Thinking that tens of billions of jewelry materials could not be realized in his hands, Wang Zheng was a little anxious. The later the development of the villa, the more funds are needed, especially the museum mission, which is simply a bottomless pit that devours funds.

"I understand!"

"How are you going to solve the acquisition funds?"

"The amount of loans provided to us by the government is not enough, so I plan to use the artwork bought by the boss as collateral and borrow another amount from the bank!"

"Use art as collateral!" Wang Zheng thought for a moment and nodded. The reason why he spent a lot of money on antiques was to complete the mission of the museum. Now that the task is complete, the importance of these antiques has naturally decreased in Wang Zheng's heart. There is nothing wrong with using them for a mortgage. Otherwise, it would be a waste to put nearly 5 billion works of art there.

After all, although Wang Zheng is running a museum, it is not a real public welfare museum. He also had to think about the development of the entire villa.

"Okay, I agree with your idea! You are busy with the loan, how much can you lend! As for the use of funds, ......!" Wang Zheng groaned slightly, "The rest of the purchase of the jewelry company will also be used for the expansion of the company!"

Compared with the nearly 10 billion jewelry raw materials in Wang Zheng's hands, the number of 218 branches is still a bit small.

"Yes!"

"For the time being, the matter of the jewelry company will be like this. How's the construction of the mountain hotel?"

"The Chougong Hotel has been completed, the Yin Palace Hotel has been capped, and the interior decoration can be carried out in early July!"

"Oh, so fast?" Wang Zheng said happily.

"The boss asked that the completion of the Ugly Palace Hotel be guaranteed by the end of June, and I dare not slack off. Therefore, during this time, a group of renovation personnel were recruited from outside. It was finally completed in the middle of the month!"

Wang Zheng nodded, "The reason why you let you finish it early is because this spring auction has greatly improved the reputation of our villa at home and abroad." In order to anticipate the peak of tourists in the future, we must go up in advance for our own reception conditions. ”

"I know! Now our annual reception capacity has reached 1 million people, which should be enough to cope with the development opportunities brought by this spring auction!"

"This time is enough, but we have one or two opportunities for big development in the second half of the year. So the hotel construction of the villa still can't be relaxed!"

"Still a chance?"

Looking at the curious look on Wang Lei's face, Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "I just got a shipwreck coordinates worth 2.5 billion pounds. If we salvage it, I'm afraid the whole world will make a sensation about it! When the time comes, the influence and attention that will be brought to our villa will definitely be stronger than this spring auction. ”

"Congratulations boss!"

"We don't have to say these kind words between us. Besides, there's one thing you're going to do for me?"

"The boss wants to buy a salvage boat?"

After glancing at Wang Lei appreciatively, Wang Zheng nodded, "Not bad!"

"How much tonnage does the boss want?"

"I don't know about this for the time being, you check the information for me first. ”

"Okay!"

"Try to be as fast as possible, I'm going to see the salvage boat before the end of the year. ”

"Boss, half a year is too short! Construction, launching, and sea trials take a year!"

"I know, but I don't plan on a new ship. You can buy a second-hand salvage ship or convert it with a freighter. But we must get the salvage ship in half a year!"

If a year's delay for a salvage ship alone would be in ruins, Wang Zheng's 'museum' mission would probably come to naught.

"Understood! I will buy a suitable salvage boat for the boss as soon as possible!"

"I'll rest assured that I'll leave it to you! Besides, the money to buy the boat will come out of the surplus of the villa!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'm done. If you're okay, come here for now!"

"Boss, then I'll get busy first!"

"Hmm!"
