Chapter 433 [Sharkskin Scroll]

Cook is not very old, thoughtful, and has a very hearty personality, seeing Yang Yong's guilty eyes, Cook laughed heartily, patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"David, don't care too much, you must know that now is a money society, money is strength, and how much money is how much strength there is. Although all of you are the top wealthy families in Georgia, there is no comparison between your net worth and relationships with the richest people like you. They are in awe of you, that's right, strength represents everything, you don't have to care too much, just take a fancy to what you like, how can you have so many scruples. ”

Yang Yong couldn't help but appreciate Cook's hearty personality very much, and said with a smile, "In this way, no one can compete with me, how can I raise the price of an auction item." What can I do for a child with leukemia by auctioning off an item for $100,200,000? ”

"Otherwise, you can get together and help me raise the price, I like this Buddha statue very much, how about raising the price to about 500,000 yuan, so that you can have an explanation for charity. ”

Seeing Yang Yong insisting so much, Cook, as a new friend, of course wanted to help, and Yang Yong did this for the Manning family's consideration. So Cook agreed very heartily and joined the ranks of bidding for Buddha statues with Yang Yong, the two of them talked and laughed, you sang and I appeared, and raised their number plates to each other. The competition for the statue soared from $100,000 to $500,000, and Yang Yong finally bought the statue carved from agarwood for $500,000.

Yang Yong's actions were carried out under everyone's noses, and Yang Yong invited Cook to bid for this Buddha statue, and the sound was not small, and everyone could hear it clearly. Therefore, everyone has a preliminary understanding of Yang Yong's personality, that is, Yang Yong's personality is very bold and charitable. In order for the children to get more treatment, he actually asked his friend Cook to act in a play with him, and the price of $100,000 was raised to 500,000 yuan, a premium of more than 1,000%.

Such a mind has been admired by everyone, although Yang Yong's reputation outside is not very good, but everyone is an adult, and it is impossible to judge a person's quality because of rumors. Today, I saw Yang Yong's real life, and I saw Yang Yong's real things left a very good impression on the wealthy class in Georgia. So after Yang Yong bought this wooden Buddha statue, all the guests at the scene gave a standing ovation and appreciated Yang Yong's actions.

Yang Yong also didn't expect that he suddenly felt that he was recognized and praised by all the rich classes, which made Yang Yong very embarrassed. They quickly stood up and applauded the surroundings, and the applauding people got up and bowed, and received more intense applause and shouts, and the excitement subsided for a while.

The next auction is officially on the right track, with Yang Yong, the top billionaire, taking the lead, and everyone's enthusiasm for the auction is unprecedented. Almost every lot sold for more than 500% of the price, especially the 1850 Lafite bottle that the Manning family took out sold for a staggering $500,000.

The top oil paintings worth $500,000 brought by Yang Yong were also auctioned off, and the high price of $2 million was bought by a top wealthy family who ran a jewelry store in his home. More than 60 items were sold out in just over an hour, and the total amount of money made was more than $10 million.

All the money received was donated to the American Leukemia Children's Treatment Foundation, not to mention that the $10 million is not much, it can help more than 100 leukemia children. Let these children be given a new lease of life and a chance to survive, so the chairman of the foundation and the patriarch of the Manning family, Manning, walked up to the auction table and bowed to the guests. Thanks to your support, we were able to raise $10 million to donate to UNICEF.

The auction was followed by a grand dinner, where all the guests ate and drank, chatted with each other, and exchanged contact information with some friends who were more likely to talk. In particular, Yang Yong became the center of the whole dinner, surrounded by many people, fortunately, Yang Yong was energetic and could cope with it, and at 10 o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially ended, and Yang Yong and his wife declined the Cook couple's request to stay at Manning Manor.

Instead, he returned to the Hilton Hotel in Atlanta with his trophies, and after a night's rest, the members of the Yang family took a small plane and flew back to the small town of Savannah, back to Anna Castle, and continued to live a happy life.

Yang Yong is a person who can't be idle, and his curiosity is very strong, and he can't sleep at all if he makes a mistake when he encounters something he is interested in without studying it thoroughly. So after returning home and having lunch, Yang Yong took this wooden Buddha statue with a strange shape that did not look like it was made by an Oriental and returned to the study to start research.

With Yang Yong's current level, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half an antique expert, so he is very professional in the construction of antiques. Spread a white towel on your desk, then grab a set of small hammers, pliers and other miniature tools, and with the help of the clairvoyant eye, you will begin to disassemble the wooden stopper on the belly of the wooden Buddha statue.

Due to the age, and the agarwood colloidal seal around the wooden stopper, it is necessary to use a small hammer and a small chisel to slowly clean the black gum along the perimeter of the wooden stopper. Then little by little, I took off the wooden stopper, took out the scroll inside, and put it in my hand to observe it carefully.

Yang Yong was also surprised that this scroll was indeed made of animal leather, no more than ten centimeters long, no more than five centimeters in diameter and width, and the animal leather on it was very unique, like sandpaper, very thick. Yang Yong really can't figure out what kind of animal this leather is, if you don't understand, you can check it, how convenient the Internet is now.

Combined with some of the above features, I searched on the Internet, and I found out that these sandpaper-like leather were actually made of shark skin, which is unique to the Caribbean. Because it is a hammerhead shark, it is an alternative among sharks, with two eyes in the east and one in the west, and the head is like an oar, which is very special.

But don't look at the hammerhead shark as a very strange look, but the hammerhead shark is a very large shark. And the shark skin is very thick, corrosion-resistant, in ancient times the shark skin of the hammerhead shark is still the top raw material for those scabbards, the scabbard made of hammerhead sharks can protect the sword from the corrosion of marine moisture and salinity, and protect the sharpness of the sword.

And hammerhead sharks are not small, and catching them in ancient times was a very dangerous task. If you don't get it right, you will be buried in the mouth of the shark, so the shark skin of the hammerhead shark is a very top leather product, and the average person really can't afford it.

After confirming the leather variety of the scroll, Yang Yong began to wear white gloves and gently opened the shark leather buckle little by little. Then I spread out the scroll and began to look closely, because the hammerhead shark shark skin is very strong, the words and pictures inside the scroll are not written with an ink pen, but with something like a soldering iron, so even after 100 years, the words and pictures on the scroll are clearly visible.
