Wang Bo nodded again and again when he listened, and comforted them and said that it was not a pyramid scheme, this thing was imported from abroad, and now even if he really wanted to do it, it was impossible to go abroad to do it, or nothing? Export to domestic sales and then to export?

As for the source of this money, it is easy to explain, he said that now he is helping his classmates to do import and export trade abroad, and foreigners are so stupid that they can fool around with money.

In this way, his parents were more at ease, and Wang Bo persuaded them to spend money at ease, and he must take care of his body when he is not around, and he will go back after a while.

Although his parents missed him, they still disagreed when they heard that he was coming back, so he could do business with peace of mind, they knew the distance between New Zealand and China, and a round-trip plane ticket cost a lot.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Bo got on the helicopter and prepared to return to the town, he had money in his pocket, and his waist was stiff, so he went back and began to develop the town: starting with road construction, as the old saying goes, if you want to be rich and have more children, build more roads.

The helicopter was about to start, the mobile phone suddenly rang, the two looked at each other, and then Charlie was angry: "I told you a few times that the helicopter should be turned off!" I have to ...... by radio."

"It's your ringtone, right?" Wang Bo took out his mobile phone, and the screen was dark.

The corners of Charlie's mouth twitched, and when he took out his mobile phone, he saw that someone had called, so he said strangely: "Hey, why are people from Christie's calling again?" A farewell call? It's a great service. ”

He answered the phone, but after listening to a word, his face changed suddenly.

Lao Wang was frightened and asked, "It can't be that there is a problem with the box, right?" ”

Charlie closed the wings that began to spin, and he looked at Wang Bodao: "Where did you put the book of "Hymn of the Bay"?" ”

Lao Wang pointed to the seat behind him and said, "There, what's wrong?" ”

"Worth 10 million, worth 10 million! Hurry up and put it away! ”

"Haha, it's not April Fool's Day." Wang Bo said with a smile.

A few minutes later, the news confirmed that Charlie was not joking, and today is indeed not April Fool's Day, but if the "Gulf Poems" in his hand is really the "Gulf Hymns" in the news report, it is really worth tens of millions, and the unit is still US dollars!

His translation of the name of this little book was wrong, the collection of Gulf Poems was just an ordinary translation, and it was the name "Hymns of the Bay" that really represented its identity.

After getting the news earlier, Charlie searched the Internet, and the most related news on Google was the just-concluded autumn auction at Sotheby's, where the book was sold by a wealthy Jewish businessman for $14.16 million.

Wang Bo looks at this book as an antique, but in fact it is indeed an antique, this collection of poems is a collection of hymns translated from Hebrew in the form of folk songs, published in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA in 1640, and is the first printed book in American history!

In addition to the book in his hand, there are now only 11 copies of the Hymn of the Bay in the world.

11 books is not a small number, but because the outside world has always believed that this book marks the "beginning of the United States" and the beginning of the world's printing industry, it is extremely valuable.

When Charlie said this, Wang Bo interrupted him and said, "Wasn't the beginning of the world's printing industry the invention of movable type printing in our country?" ”

Charlie was convinced: "I said that you kid is really patriotic!" ”

"That must be, being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han!" Lao Wang said loudly.

"Traitor!"

"Besides, I'll beat you, you know my fighting power."

The two got out of the helicopter and waited directly at Christie's in the five-star hotel of Green Olives, and this time Christie's came to contact them not with two experts, but with a middle-aged white man of extraordinary bearing.

Later, it was introduced that this is Christie's regional president in New Zealand and Australia, named Adams Georgetown, who is in charge of Christie's auction in Australia.

Christie's is one of the top two auction houses in the world, along with Sotheby's. Their lots bring together fine art, watches, jewelry, automobiles and wines from around the world, with offices in 90 major cities around the world and regular auctions in 16 locations around the world.

Among them, Christie's fixed auction locations are mainly concentrated in the northern hemisphere, and there are only two in the southern hemisphere, one in São Paulo, Brazil, and the other in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, where Adams is in charge.

After the two sides introduced each other, Adams greeted Wang Bo in Mandarin very graciously, and then he gave an order, and the Green Olive Hotel immediately prepared a conference room for them to communicate.

Adams, who had come to inspect the Hymn of the Bay, said, "It's a fluke to say that today when our auction director was inspecting the red box photo taken by Quincy, he saw this hymn and called you as soon as possible, otherwise we would have missed it." ”

As he spoke, he looked at a little old man in his fifties and sixties who accompanied him, the little old man nodded and smiled, obviously he was the auction director, and as I had introduced before, this director was named Gregor Lyle.

Wang Bo heard that the implication of his words was that the two of them did not know the preciousness of this book, in fact, the two of them really did not know, who knew that such an old little book could be worth 145 million US dollars?

Therefore, he still has a good impression of the people at Christie's, at least they called at the beginning and made it clear that their hymn was very valuable, and he didn't want to use indiscriminate means to deceive the past.

But it's one thing to have a good impression, it's another thing to talk about price, and Westerners don't have a saying that 'business is business'.

On the way here, Wang Bo negotiated with Charlie that the benefits of the book must be maximized, as long as the book is sold at a good price, the early construction funds of the town will be enough.

So, Lao Wang took out the acting skills honed by years of life, he first brewed love, and then hugged the hymn in his arms, and said solemnly: "Mr. Georgetown......"

"Call me Adams, that's what my friends call me, and now you're my friend, little friend." Mr. President smiled kindly, if he was from Sichuan, then it is estimated that he would want to call Lao Wang 'little ghost'.

"Okay, Adams, to be honest, I didn't think about selling this hymn, because this is the last thought my godfather left me......"

"Your godfather?" Adams asked, surprised.

Lao Wang looked sad: "Yes, my godfather, Sir Howard Roberts. This red box and this hymn are his beloved during his lifetime, and it is already a big unfilial piety for me to sell the red box, and I can't sell the hymn as well. ”

The acting skills are really good, Charlie admired it in his heart after watching it, but Lao Wang was giving him a look, and it was his turn to perform. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
