Chapter 1369 Quran

……

"Rs 110 million!"

"110 million, is there anything higher?"

Looking at the auctioneer's expectant eyes, Liu Dong smiled slightly, "150000, if the price is higher than this, then this Buddha statue will be given to him!"

Although 150 million rupees is nothing to Liu Dong, he is not willing to waste his time on this meaningless bidding, and it is obvious that the guy next to him who has repeatedly raised the bar with him is not for the Buddha statue, but to make trouble for him.

In this case, after raising the price to a high level, Liu Dong has no need to let the other party succeed!

Hearing this, looking at the bidding sign that Liu Dong threw on the table next to him, the young man's eyes showed a trace of hesitation. Liu Dong guessed correctly, he did pay attention to the other party to make trouble. As for offending the new richest man in the world because of this, others may be a little worried, but he is not too worried about it.

In terms of family background and wealth, he may not lose to the other party.

But even so, he was not willing to pay 1.5 rupees to buy this Gupta Buddha statue, if that was the case, his previous efforts would not be in vain.

After thinking about this, the young man's expression remained unchanged, and then he put down the bidding plate in his hand in the expectant eyes of the auctioneer.

"Mr. Liu is really wealthy, none of these people here are your opponent......s! Give up!"

"Your Excellency is too famous, I just like this Buddha statue!" Liu Dong raised his eyebrows and said.

At this moment, he found that the other party was really not dealing with him, and when he was done, he would push himself to the opposite side of everyone present. Although I don't know how effective it will be for the time being, I can see that the other party's words are not in vain when I look at the unhappy looks on the faces around me.

The most important thing is that the facts are in front of him, and Liu Dong has not refuted it.

"Mr. Said, do you know that person just now?" At this moment, the joy of successfully winning the Buddha statue was less than one percent in Liu Dong's heart.

"What's the matter? Mr. Liu doesn't know that Japanese?"

"Japanese, he's Japanese?"

"That's right! His name is Yasuda Hiroaki, the eldest son of Yasuda Yasuharu, chairman of the Furong Foundation, one of Japan's six major conglomerates, and he is also the heir of the Yasuda family! If nothing else, maybe in a few years, he will be able to succeed Yasuda Yasuharu and take charge of the huge Hibiscus Consortium!"

"It turned out to be the Yasuda family, no wonder!" Liu Dong nodded knowingly.

In the original conspiracy against Standard Chartered Bank, in addition to the Rothschilds and the Stillman family, the Yasuda family was the third largest after them.

Fortunately, these giants are afraid of the strong background of the Liu family behind Liu Dong, but they only let the small characters come forward, and their power is limited. Otherwise, I am afraid that even if Liu Dong prepares enough funds, it is a question whether he can guarantee the standard Standard Chartered Bank in the end.

"Does Mr. Said know why this heir of the Yasuda family came to India?" said Liu Dong, after a moment's thought.

"It should be for the $43 billion highway construction plan recently promulgated by the Ministry of Highways and Communications of the Indian Government of India, right?" Looking at the blankness on Liu Dong's face, Saeed was surprised, "What? Mr. Liu didn't come to India for this?"

"Actually, I'm purely here for tourism!"

"Mr. Liu is really interested!"

Seeing the somewhat strange look on Said's face, Liu Dong shrugged his shoulders slightly, and immediately changed the topic, "So Mr. Said is also here for this highway construction plan?"

"Of course! This time the Indians are a rare big deal, and they plan to invest $43 billion to build a nationwide road network, half of which will be used to build a 20,000-kilometer 'national highway construction project'! Moreover, the use of public-private partnerships, and even allow foreign companies to dominate. Moreover, this road land acquisition is the sole responsibility of the Indian government, and there is no need for construction companies to worry. In addition, the Indian government also provides financial assistance of up to 40% of the investment amount, and a series of preferential conditions such as exemption for the first five years of investment and 70% reduction of relevant taxes for the second five years!

After a pause, Said looked at Liu Dong and smiled: "I know that Mr. Liu's Shangyuan Engineering Group is a giant construction group that specializes in investing in large-scale commercial buildings, industrial projects and infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, airports and docks. Why don't we get involved this time? When the two of us work together, I believe that the results will be absolutely rich!"

Looking at Said's expectant eyes, Liu Dong instinctively wanted to refuse.

It's not that Liu Dong doesn't want to cooperate with the other party, or that he doesn't want to take this opportunity to enter the Indian market, but the current Shangyuan Engineering Group is a little too busy.

The construction of a new Yanjiao city involved nearly half of the energy of Shangyuan Engineering Group, as well as the construction of Daewoo Automobile's He* North Caofeidian Branch, the second phase expansion of Daewoo Heavy Industries' Yan*tai Branch, the expansion project of Yan*Taixingang, the construction of Dongguan Hanhua Technology (formerly Daewoo Electronics) mobile phone factory, the auxiliary construction of the Outer Mongolia Railway Project and oil pipelines, as well as the connection between Ulan Gumu, Uriya Sutai, Bayan Honger, Dharamzadegad and domestic Hohe* Hot's expressway projects, as well as a number of industrial and infrastructure projects outside of the GCA Group, keep Shangyuan Engineering Group, which has been expanding in scale, in a constant state of busyness.

But when the words of refusal reached Liu Dong's mouth, his eyes flashed and he swallowed back.

"If I can cooperate with Mr. Said, I naturally have no opinion!"

"Then we're done?" said Said.

"Of course!"

Liu Dong smiled and nodded.

The rich oil in the Middle East has long been coveted by Liu Dong, but there are too many oil predators who arrived there before him, and although the Hanhua Group is strong, it belongs to the latecomers. Therefore, it was inevitable to touch the still fixed order there, and aroused the opposition of all vested interests, Liu Dong did not rashly insert it. But at the moment, it was clear from Saeed that he saw an opportunity.

The identity of the other party's Saudi prince is a good bargaining chip for intervention. Of course, how to operate it will have to be considered slowly later. The main thing now is to have a good relationship with the other person first. And economic cooperation is the best way to get closer to each other.

As for Shangyuan Engineering Group, after the completion of the twin towers of the Hong Kong Sinicization Center, after saving a group of engineering personnel, and then making appropriate adjustments, it should still be able to take into account India's infrastructure projects.

If not, it is not difficult to spend some money to acquire an infrastructure company in India. Anyway, what Liu Dong wants is an opportunity to get closer to Said, not to focus on development in India.

After verbally agreeing to cooperate with Said, both parties felt closer to each other.

"Mr. Said, since I've been sitting here, I haven't seen you bid, can't you just stare at the Golconda Diamond 'Crystal Heart' in the finale?"

"Heart of Mercury is what Nancy wants, and I prefer that!"

Following the direction of Said's finger, Liu Dong noticed a gold cover that had just appeared on the screen, with red sapphires inlaid on it, and the appearance was so gorgeous that it was difficult to look at directly.

"The Quran?"

In 1451, Bahrul Rhodi seized Delhi and established the third ****** dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, the 'Radi Dynasty', in order to consolidate his rule, Bahrul Rhodi established ****** religion as the state religion, and ordered the gathering of skilled craftsmen from all over the country to erect thirty huge stone tablets in the center of Delhi, and then copied all the verses of the thirty chapters of the Qur'an on it, and stipulated that all ****** believers in the city of Delhi should hold 'prayers, prayers, fasts, lessons, And this golden Qur'an was used by Bahrul Radi when he was teaching the Five Exercises at the ******!"

As the words fell, looking at the golden Quran on the display, Said's eyes showed a strong longing. For any ****** believer, this kind of Qur'an, which has been transmitted from ancient times and has a strong religious significance, is a rare occurrence. What's more, it was once owned by an emperor.

In the modern art market, it is clear to everyone. The price of everything that is related to the emperor is ridiculously high. Take China as an example, the porcelain of the imperial kiln, especially the imperial kiln ware played by the emperor, has a starting price of more than 50 million yuan for each piece. The official kiln is only one-tenth of the imperial kiln, and the private kiln is even lower!

The second-class dealers in Panjiayuan all know that adding a prerequisite used by Emperor XX when setting up a stall will make their items sell better, not to mention the real emperor's imperial treasures!

Moreover, the precious nature of this Qur'an, which is made of expensive gold and the jewels and diamonds set on its surface, adds to its preciousness.

In this case, Christie's has set its starting price at Rs 500 million which is not so high!

"Mr. Liu, don't you want it too?"

Said asked, a little nervous. Gain, Liu Dong left the impression that he was too domineering a few times before. Even if Said is confident that he has a lot of money in his pocket, he is much inferior to the richest man next to him.

Of course, the wealth of the entire Saudi royal family must be several times that of Liu Dong, or even more, but that belongs to the entire Saudi royal family, not Saeed's own.

"Hehe, Mr. Said, don't worry! A gentleman does not win people's love, and I am not religious, I will not participate in the auction of this Quran!"

Liu Dong's sentence is half true and half false.

In fact, even if he is not religious, this precious "Quran", which has been passed down for more than 400 years, Liu Dong seems to have collected him into his Yuanming Museum and Ancient India Pavilion.

But after so many years, people have naturally become much more mature and stable. Liu Dong, who was already a little aggressive in the previous auctions, if he still participated in the bidding this time, it is estimated that he will attract the disgust of most of the people in the audience.
