Chapter 009: Global Discussion
According to the agreement reached between the two parties, all the gold, silver coins and gems brought by Su Hongwen this time will be handed over to Christie's auction house for regular auctions at 10 Christie's auction locations in Europe and the United States.
And those exquisite Chinese porcelain, except for a small part of the porcelain that was originally burned paper in ancient China for the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, was auctioned in Europe and the United States.
The remaining nearly 8,000 pieces of collectible porcelain must be auctioned at Christie's in mainland China or on Hong Kong Island.
Su Hongwen did this in order to prevent Huaxia Treasure from falling into the hands of foreigners.
As for the auction commission, it was set at the lowest point in Christie's history, at only 0.5 percent of the total price.
After all, the total amount of this auction is likely to exceed $3 billion.
In 2005, Christie's global auction turnover was only Β£1.8 billion ($3.2 billion), which was the highest ever in Christie's history.
And now the total price of the auction items brought by Su Hongwen is as low as $30, and it is not impossible to have a maximum of $3.5 billion.
And now Su Hongwen alone is worth the total amount of Christie's auction last year.
In order to retain Su Hongwen, a major customer, Christie's senior management finally set the auction commission at 0.5% after urgent negotiations.
After the two sides signed the agreement, Su Hongwen left Christie's.
At this time, Xiaobai had already sold 28.3 tons of gold in his hand in exchange for 319 million pounds, that is, 616 million US dollars, 4.811 billion RMB.
After having the money, Su Hongwen naturally had to prepare for the construction of the island, first he ordered a luxury yacht at a price of 20 million US dollars, which would be delivered in a month.
This is not because Su Hongwen is rich, so he wants to be luxurious and enjoy life.
He is preparing for the 'discovery' of the island, after all, if he wants to land on the new island as soon as possible, he naturally has to have the corresponding tools, and he can't tell people that he discovered the new island while swimming in the Indian Ocean, right?
With a yacht, he can sail the yacht around the nearby waters when the stars are about to lead the volcanic eruption, so that he can naturally 'discover' the island formed by the volcanic eruption in the first place.

A month later.
A set of photos released by Christie's shocked the world.
High-resolution images of the mountain-like mountains of gold, silver, precious stones, and fine Chinese porcelain in good condition appeared in the media in various countries around the world.
Whether it is paper media, TV news, or online forums, all the people who saw this set of pictures were stunned by the news, in short, they were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Su Hongwen, the son of the lucky god.
Yes, Christie's also announced the owner of the treasure at the same time as releasing the picture, and also announced how Su Hongwen found and salvaged the treasure as if it were a novel.
Therefore, the major media unanimously put the title of 'son of lucky god' on Su Hongwen's head for the first time.
For a while, as the owner of this huge batch of treasures, the picture of Su Hongwen, who was standing in a pile of gold coins and smiling calmly, became the focus of attention of the whole world.
British netizens:
"Oh, ****, why didn't I find out? These must be my coins! β
"Hey, is there anyone willing to go out to sea with me to salvage the baby? I have a boat, modify it, we can also go to the bottom of the sea to salvage. β
"According to the information released by Christie's, I carefully calculated that the lowest value of these treasures is more than 1.65 billion pounds, and the son of the lucky god entered the top 35 of the world's wealth list overnight."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
η±³ε½netiθ :
"Wow, so many gold coins, blinded my eyes......"
"The Son of God of Fortune is a citizen of our America? So how much tax should the tax department charge him this time? β
"This can't be the treasure of a shipwreck, never before in history has a ship carried so much treasure."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Smecta netizens:
"This is our shipwreck treasure, Su Hongwen must give up the auction and return it to our Great Smecta Kingdom!"
"Yes, it must be returned, this is the wealth of our people, and it must not be taken away by this shameful thief."
"What are our governments waiting for? Inform Christie's and have them return it. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Huaxia netizens:
"Wow, the little brother hereby comes in to worship the gods, begging to hug his thighs, begging for a bag!"
"By the way, if you pile up these gold coins, won't you be able to build a house?"
"I don't expect to build a house with gold, as long as I can fill my whole bedroom with gold, I'll be content! Well, my bedroom is about 1,000 square meters......"
"Upstairs, is your bedroom a factory building?"
"It's also possible that a pig farm ......"
"And maybe a cattle farm!"
Well, our Chinese netizens are just spicy, and the level of the crooked building is invincible!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time that these netizens posted on the Internet, people from major salvage companies around the world flocked to the northern waters of the Indian Ocean one after another, trying to try their luck.
In just a few days, the otherwise calm waters of the northern Indian Ocean were filled with salvage vessels of all kinds.
And just three days after Christie's announcement, the Spanish and Dutch governments held a press conference.
The spokesmen of the two countries said: These gold and silver coins and precious stones belonged to Spain and the Netherlands in the 70s of the 18th century, and the Spanish and Dutch governments have the right to belong to them, and Su Hongwen has no right to auction these treasures. It is hoped that Su Hongwen will return these gold coins, silver coins and precious stones to the Spanish and Dutch governments.
Then, before Su Hongwen could respond, the spokesman of the Mi government immediately refuted the remarks of the Spanish and Dutch governments.
White House spokesperson: "Our world is a world of the rule of law, everything has to be done in accordance with laws and regulations, and according to the International Salvage Act, the ownership of commercial shipwrecks on the high seas absolutely belongs to the salvage owner." As long as Mr. Su Hongwen can publish evidence to prove that the treasures were not salvaged from the sunken warship or the territorial waters of the sovereign state, then the ownership of the treasures belongs to Mr. Su Hongwen. β
The United States government is not stupid, according to their investigation, Su Hongwen is a citizen of the United States, and after the auction of this batch of treasures, Su Hongwen has to pay taxes to the United States government.
You must know that after the completion of this huge transaction, the government of the United States will be able to collect taxes with a smile.
If this treasure is recovered by Spain and the river government, then the United States will not get a benefit.
So naturally, I absolutely support Su Hongwen! Not to mention that Su Hongwen is a legitimate gain, even if it is illegal, the government of the United States can make it legal.
That's how the U.S. imperialists cheat!
After receiving the 'goodwill' from the US government, Su Hongwen immediately responded and held a press conference.
At the press conference, Su Hongwen announced the location of the wreck, the video images of the salvage, and various materials.
It effectively proves that he is a commercial wreck salvaged on the high seas, and it is legitimate.
Of course, all the information released in this batch is fake, and it is forged by the starry sky.
However, even if it is fake, no one in this world can find out.
Now with the support of the US government, the governments of Spain and the Netherlands have withered in an instant, just protesting with their mouths all day long, without any practical action.
Oh, there are still practical actions, that is, the governments of the two countries banned Su Hongwen from entering the country and blacklisted Su Hongwen.
Regarding this, Su Hongwen just pouted, who rarely goes to your country! Please, I'm not going!
