"Hello, Mr. Zhou, can you tell us the specific amount of treasure caught this time?"
"I'm sorry, but it needs to be kept secret for the time being until it has been evaluated by experts."
"Mr. Zhou, according to insiders, the value of the treasure you have fished this time is amazing, and it can even reach more than 10 million US dollars, how are you going to deal with this windfall?"
"Although the windfall was worth a lot, it didn't surprise me because I'm a millionaire myself."
"Mr. Zhou, you are only nineteen years old this year, how did you become a millionaire? Inheritance? ”
"It can also be said that because I have a prescription inherited from my elders and I have invested in a pharmaceutical company with it, and now I can bring me a steady income every month."
The interviews I can come to interview today are all tabloids in Spain, and Zhou You is not interested in talking too much to them. The burden still has to be shaken out little by little in order to be more interesting.
At present, Demossa has registered his antiques at the town hall and deposited them in the Zài bank in the name of Zhou You. Therefore, Zhou You is not afraid that anyone can rob this batch of antiques with him.
The salvage place is Spain, the era of antiques is more than a thousand years ago, even if it is a palace treasure, their court has disappeared for almost a thousand years, and now Zhou You is the legal owner of this batch of antiques, and no one can snatch it.
For his own safety and to reduce disputes, Zhou You did not think about covering it up, but wanted to build momentum for himself from the beginning and stir up this matter.
The bigger you fry, the safer you are.
Therefore, Zhou You's reporters with these tabloids only revealed a little bit of information in general terms, and did not go into details.
Wait until tomorrow, at most until the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that not only the Spanish media, but also the media around the world will hear the news, and at that time, I will shake off my burden a little bit and keep myself in the center of public opinion.
However, Zhou You underestimated the patience and bottom line of these reporters, although they got the news, they were still not satisfied, they were still entangled, and everyone wanted to get the exclusive revelations.
Handsome tourists from Asia, millionaire status, beautiful European islands, valuable antiques. This kind of luck and accident, both men and women, is what every sling silk dreams of, and it is also what they are interested in.
This news alone is believed by these journalists to greatly increase the attention of their own media.
After these reporters sent back the first interview materials, the media also vigorously authorized them to stay in this hotel. Although the fifth floor where Zhou You lives is expensive, none of the media is worried about money, except that Zhou You has almost been booked by various media.
Although Zhou You pretended to be not very satisfied on the surface and hid in the room and didn't come out, he was actually quite happy in his heart. When you get to Madrid, if it's still like this, then even if a gang wants to do it to themselves, I'm afraid they won't dare to poke this beecomb.
Therefore, there are more journalists, although they are not very free, but they are very good protection for themselves.
Before seeing the antiques, Demosa was very satisfied with the price tag of $50,000, because he had just returned to the island to start a business, and he couldn't make $50,000 for a year.
But after seeing this batch of antiques, he regretted it, even if he didn't understand antiques, but he also knew that the value of this batch of antiques would not be too low, and his own charges were a little less.
But as a lawyer himself, he also knows that after the agreement is signed, he has no reason to increase the price until there is no unexpected dispute.
What's more, now it's just about notarizing property and contacting relevant departments, and the $50,000 is not low.
His network in this circle is not very wide, but the firm he joined is different.
Therefore, when he asked the headquarters for support, the firm did not delay, and immediately contacted a third-party appraisal agency, and then contacted Sotheby's branch in Spain, ready to evaluate and auction the antiques that traveled around.
That night, a TV station broadcast the lucky trip of this super lucky person. After a night of fermentation, the next day, most of the media in Spain published the news of the trip, and even a few European media outlets were exposed.
As Zhou You sat in his room greeting guests from all sides, he didn't know that his news had gone out of Europe and was beginning to cause a boil in Asia.
Especially in mainland China and Singapore, after receiving the news, many media sent elite soldiers to Spain to prepare for interviews on Zhou You.
And in the Arab countries, the sensation caused by the trip is also great. The Umayyad dynasty was the first hereditary dynasty in the Arab world, and it was also the period of their power, when their territory stretched from India in the east to Spain in the west, and the Mediterranean Sea was their bathing tub.
But due to the overthrow of the Abbas, almost all the antiques left by this powerful dynasty were destroyed, and every piece of antiques from the pre-Umayyad period is now highly sought after internationally.
Especially the rich people in Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates, they don't care about money. At the first time I got the news, I was confirming the accuracy of the news, and if it was an antique from the Abbasid dynasty, forget it, because there were too many circulators.
But if it is really an antique from the Umayyad dynasty, especially an antique from the former Umayyad dynasty, they must take it down, because this is a treasure left by their ancestors.
Zhou You was also very busy today, but he was not busy receiving the antique experts who came to identify it for the first time, but was busy contacting the lucky ones who later caught the treasure.
The treasures they caught belonged to one box, and the value of the separate auction would definitely be greatly reduced.
In a previous life, Cantor, the main winner of these antiques, did not have the ability to gather all the shareholders, but he was different.
Now, one more person has found a piece of jewelry, and two more have found a few gold coins, and he is more than capable of buying these treasures first. Even if they refuse, Zhou You can convince them to put their harvest up for auction with Zhou You's.
So instead of rushing to identify antiques, Zhou You now asked Demosa to contact the three lucky ones in the back.
Unlike Zhou You's heart, the three lucky people had no idea what they had gained, and they still knew from the news that these gold coins and gold ornaments belonged to the Umayyad period.
The auction house de Mosathorn Guò Sosby found some previous auction records and gave an estimate of the price of these antiques. The gold jewellery has not yet been appraised and the price is difficult to say, but the gold coins have been auctioned before.
Sotheby auctioned the same gold coin in '97, and the auction record at the time was £4,000 per coin. Zhou You also quoted the other party a price of 4,000 pounds.
Although two years have passed, it is expected that these gold coins will continue to appreciate in value. But don't forget, scarcity is expensive, and Zhou You found more than 400 pieces at once this time, which had a bit of an impact on the price.
Moreover, at the time of the auction, they have to pay a commission to the auction house, which they don't have to pay at all.
Without much thought, the two British tourists who found the gold coins decided to sell the six gold coins they found to Zhou You, 24,000 pounds, almost 40,000 dollars, which was not a small fortune even for them.
However, the local Spanish boy who found the gold jewelry was unwilling to accept Zhou You's offer of 200,000 US dollars, and after two days of hesitation, he decided to participate in the auction with Zhou You.
Zhou You doesn't care about his decision, as long as he doesn't take it out and sell it himself, it will affect his own auction. He didn't want to make any difference from it.
There are three institutions involved, one is the National Museum of Spain, which is hired by the Spanish government and does not have to pay for the tour.
The other two, one is invited by Zhou You, and the other is Sotheby Auction House.
The reason why the three institutions were invited is also to conduct a detailed and accurate evaluation of these antiques, which makes both the tour and the Spanish government feel more at ease.
After several days on the island, the antiques were transported to the bank in Madrid, under the joint escort of the police, the auction house and the bank.
Here, the antiques are appraised by various appraisal agencies and then auctioned off once the results are available.
At this time, after a few days of fermentation, coupled with the auction to build momentum, some new hot spots will be released every three or five days, and it has become a world-famous big news to get this batch of antiques around the world.
Especially after Zhou You's identity was exposed, the domestic media dug deep into his identity and spread it to the world.
From an orphan to a millionaire now, the aura of charm around him is even more interesting than the treasure he gets.
In the nineties, some lotteries in the West were able to accumulate tens of millions of dollars, and even so, every time a jackpot winner was noticed by the general public.
Although there are not too many gimmicks in the funds, this is not a lottery, but a real treasure, and the story in this is more worth digging than buying a lottery ticket.
His identity, the process of fishing for treasure, including his prescriptions, and the Viagra that is now selling well in China, have all attracted people's attention.
In particular, his lawsuit with Pfizer has attracted the attention of people around the world, and it has also let everyone know that in distant Asia, there is a young man who choked the throat of the giant Pfizer, and even with Viagra he is famous all over the world.
After Pan Yuan tried every possible way to contact Zhou You, he told him: "I'm not jealous that you have found such a big treasure all of a sudden, but you kid must promote our products in Europe." ”
All sorts of factors come together, and in just one week, Zhou You is completely popular, and even people who don't know the name of Zhou You will have a lucky Asian person on the island who finds tens of millions of dollars worth of treasures in Spain.
The current Internet is fortunately underdeveloped, otherwise, Zhou You would have become the first generation of Internet celebrities.
However, he is indeed a celebrity in the eyes of the media now, and even more media attention than those celebrities.
At a time when these antiques have not yet been exchanged for cash, it always attracts everyone's attention, and everyone is speculating how much money Zhou You can earn from this batch of antiques.
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
