Chapter 374: Ji Shengshan is exhausted? (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

There has always been a strange concept in the area of art.

That is, once the well-known art that has been stolen is recovered, the value will skyrocket.

For example, how did "Mona Lisa's Smile" become popular?

You know, before the twentieth century, the painting wasn't much appreciated.

It's not in the Louvre, but at least very few people pay attention.

People only know that this is one of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, and that's it, and it is not as evil as it was later rumored.

However, when "The Smile of the Mona Lisa" was stolen and recovered, its value increased tenfold and it became a masterpiece!

Ji Cheng pondered that there should be a few good things left in this group of thieves, and his heart was full of anticipation.

But when he really saw the collection hidden by this group of international thieves, the whole person was dumbfounded!

A small basement is densely packed with all kinds of antique art!

Eighteen paintings by Delacroix, Rubens and Rembrandt hang on the walls, and strings of rare jewels are arranged in small glass cases.

Sculpture!

Ancient!

Coins!

Everything is a hand-me-down!

Even Ji Cheng saw scriptures that basically looked like Mogao Grottoes, as well as various Buddha statues and murals.

In the wooden boxes next to these murals and Buddha statues, some carefully bandaged silk paintings and embroideries are neatly arranged.

It seems to have come from the Mogao Grottoes along with the scriptures, Buddha statues, and murals.

Suddenly, Ji Cheng saw an ancient sculpture that didn't look like a Buddha statue in Mogao Grottoes, after all, this ancient sculpture was wearing armor, he pointed and asked in wonder, "What is this ancient sculpture?" ”

The tall and thin old man sighed and said, "This is a 17th-century ancient sculpture that my master got from the Oriental Art Museum in Riben when he was young, probably in 1900, and this wooden sculpture was worth 100,000 US dollars at that time. ”

"Bad luck." Ji Cheng complained.

Liu Zhi didn't react, "Boss, what's the bad luck?" ”

Ji Cheng said: "Do you see those Buddha statues, scriptures and murals? They are all valuable cultural relics of our China, and it should have been stolen to overseas museums before, and then stolen by these old men and old ladies, but no matter how you say these are the cultural relics of our country, this ancient statue is an antique cultural relic of a small day, put together, do you say bad luck? ”

Liu Zhi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he patted his thigh and said, "According to what you say, it's really unlucky!" ”

Well, bad luck is bad luck.

If this armor-clad statue was really worth $100,000 in 1900, then this statue would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars back to modern society, and even if it wasn't worth that much, it would at least be tens of millions of dollars.

Why is Ji Cheng so sure?

First of all, not to mention that antiques become more and more valuable with the passage of time, just saying that in 1900 one dollar was equal to more than 1.5 grams of gold, and 100,000 dollars was equivalent to 150,000 grams of gold, which is 81 million according to the current calculation of about 54 dollars per gram of gold.

"Could it be that this is a Japanese national treasure?"

Ji Cheng really doesn't understand this thing, he is in the antique circle, but it is impossible to understand every antique clearly.

Although Vaniechka didn't understand antique art, he was startled when he saw so many things piled up, and asked the tall and thin old man, "Where did you get so many things?" ”

The tall and thin old man said proudly: "All over the world." ”

Others don't speak, and everyone knows that there are some things that shouldn't be said, after all, it's a crime.

Ji Cheng glanced at Rembrandt's famous portrait of "Jacob III" on the wall, "I have to say that you are master thieves, and you can even steal this painting." ”

There is an unwritten chain of contempt in the world of art theft, stealing Van Gogh is remarkable, and if stealing Rembrandt is a master thief.

The "Jacob III" in front of me is known as the world's most stolen painting.

It's a pity that Ji Cheng is not very interested, because this painting is available in modern society, and even if he takes it back, he can only collect it himself, and cannot convert it into money.

But the tall and thin old man was stunned by Ji Cheng's next sentence, only to see him laugh hey, "That's natural, we are not only masters in stealing, but also top in making fakes, such as this "Jacob III", the police thought they had found it, and the museum thought it was real after taking it back, but in fact, they didn't know that the "Jacob III" left on the bicycle basket was a fake made by us, and they deceived them all!" ”

I'm Nima!

Really?

Ji Cheng's eyes widened suddenly, who doesn't know what kind of existence "Jacob III" is? This is a world-famous painting that has been stolen four times, and its value has long been high because of these thefts!

It can be said that it is easy to sell hundreds of millions of dollars at auction!

Ji Cheng took a breath and said, "How do you prove that the recovered "Jacob III" is a fake, and this one is genuine?" ”

The tall and thin old man blinked and said: "It's very simple, we left a mark on the painting of Jacob III in their hands, and if you look closely at the black clothes on the portrait with a microscope, you will find that there is a small 'S' symbol on the sleeve that cannot be smaller." ”

Ji Cheng was a little stupid when he heard it, "Only the mark that can be seen by the microscope?" ”

"Yes, it's our own way." The old lady spoke for the first time, and she was very proud.

Ji Cheng suddenly thought of one thing, "Are the oil paintings that Yin Wankov took also fakes?" ”

"Ahem......" the tall and thin old man sneered, "except for a few oil paintings on wood, the others are all fake oil paintings." ”

I'm Nima!

What a fake, huh?

Ji Cheng immediately said: "Where is the real thing?" ”

"Right here." The tall and thin old man said helplessly: "You came too suddenly, we didn't have time to make fakes, and a few of your oil paintings on wood are real, otherwise I would never have brought you here." ”

Ji Cheng was almost laughed at by them.

When Vaniechka heard that half of those things were fakes, she was angry and wanted to kill them.

Thanks to Liu Zhi's quick hand, otherwise this group of old men and ladies would have been killed today.

Ji Cheng didn't believe this group of old men and ladies at all this time, and he wasn't sure whether the things here were real or fake, but he still asked Vaniechka to find someone to come and move out, and clearly told this group of old men and old ladies that if he identified the things as genuine, he would give money, but if the things he got here were fake, sorry, he would let Vaniechka send them back to the West.

The old ladies and ladies were all frightened, and they all said that they were all genuine.

……

Two days later, the pretty country.

There's a grapevine coming out of Waltham, Massachusetts.

It is rumored that Ji Cheng, the godfather who is invincible in the financial world, got four planes back from Xiong Guo and handed them over to Raytheon for transformation, which is said to be sold.

Suddenly, the news sparked laughter from consortiums across the United States.

"Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"That guy Ji Cheng went to the bear country to get four Tu-154 planes and came back, saying that he wanted to sell them."

"Poof! Is he really so naΓ―ve? ”

"But isn't it, the planes used by the airlines here in our beautiful country are either Boeing or Airbus, and even if the low-cost airlines use passenger planes developed by Embraer, who will buy the Tu-154?"

"He must have a broken brain."

"Hahaha, I'm laughing this season."

The consortium was madly laughing at Ji Cheng, not because he only got four planes back, but because he got four Tu-154 planes back, which caused laughter.

There are not many airlines that use Tu-154 aircraft in the world, especially the tense relationship between the beautiful country and the bear country, and it is even more impossible for the airlines of the beautiful country to purchase the Tu-154 aircraft.

But it's good that you Ji Cheng, Boeing is not going to purchase it late, and it has traveled thousands of miles to the bear country to get these planes that no one cares about?

Not to mention how much profit can be made by four Tu-154 aircraft, let's just say that you can sell this thing?

For a while, Ji Cheng became a laughing stock in the upper class of the beautiful country.

Everyone is waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

……

Rockefeller Manor.

Lawrence. Rockefett also heard about the rumor.

"Did he really get four Tu-154s back? Still trying to find a way to sell it? Lawrence. Rockefeller looked at the young woman in front of him with deep eyes.

This young woman is none other than the future head of the Rockefeller family, and now the eldest daughter of the Rockefeller family, Peggy. Durani, yes, she didn't have the surname Rockefeller because she changed her name at the age of twenty-four, "Yes, uncle." ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller narrowed his eyes, "Did you analyze any information from it?" ”

Peggy. Durani said with a smile: "I saw the stupidity of this surnamed Ji, who actually got four Tu-154 planes back." ”

"Think about it again."

Lawrence. Rockefeller frowned, dissatisfied with the way of thinking of the eldest niece, who could be his successor in the future.

Indeed, Peggy. Durani was not a qualified leader, and the Rockefeller family has been losing all the glory of their ancestors since she took over.

Even Lawrence. Rockefeller reminded that Peggy. Durani still didn't come up with a reason, and said as a matter of course: "I just think he's stupid, nothing else." ”

"Humph! You're stupid! Lawrence. Rockefeller said with a cold snort.

Peggy. Durani was said to be blindsided, and obviously didn't understand why his uncle said that.

Lawrence. Rockefeller couldn't see that she was still clear, so he had to take the initiative to explain: "Think about how many myths Ji Cheng has created in finance and how much wealth he has gained, but now he is going to the bear country to get a few passenger planes that seem to be unattended, do you still understand?" ”

Peggy. Durani was stunned for a moment, "Are you saying he sees a huge business opportunity in it?" ”

"The opportunity is only part of the story, and I'm not sure if he actually sees it, because the Tu-154 is not easy to sell." Lawrence. Rockefeller said slowly: "He has made tens of billions of dollars in the financial industry, and now he is willing to do business with profits that may be only tens of thousands of dollars, then it can only mean one thing, he ...... No money! ”

"Huh? He has no money? "Peggy. Durani couldn't believe it: "Didn't he make tens of billions of dollars in the financial markets?" Why is there no money all of a sudden? ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller looked at his niece hopelessly and sighed heavily, "The Boston consortium and Joaquin Capital released so much news before, don't you understand why he has no money?" Do you think that the shareholding consortium does not need to take out the money? ”

Peggy. Durani nodded, as if that was the case.

Lawrence. Rockefeller hated iron and said: "Actually, none of this matters, the important thing is that he has no money!" ”

"What's wrong with him running out of money?" Peggy. Durani hadn't reacted yet.

Lawrence. Rockefeller wanted to curse, but thinking that this was the eldest daughter of his dead brother, he still held back his temper and said carefully: "He has no money, we can take advantage of his illness to kill him!" ”

Peggy. Durani understood this time, and her face was overjoyed, "Uncle, you mean that we can crush him with the Golden Yuan Offensive?" ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, hurry up and let people find out which part of Joaquin Capital is focusing on now, and we will break through the defense line from this piece layer by layer." ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Peggy. Durani turned and walked out.

Lawrence. Rockefeller sat on the sofa, sneered, and said to himself: "Ji Cheng, you are dead this time!" ”

Yes, Ji Cheng can't think of Lawrence anyway. Rockefeller is so powerful, just a small thing actually analyzed his biggest dilemma at present, he really has no money on hand.

If the Rockefeller family oppressed people with capital at this time, Ji Cheng would not have the power to fight back at all, so he could only be slaughtered!

……

The other side.

Raytheon.

Ji Cheng returned to Huaxia yesterday, and then rushed to the beautiful country overnight.

In Charles. Francis. Accompanied by Adams IV, the former chairman of Raytheon, they went to the refitting workshop.

Four huge Tu-154s are located over there, receiving modifications.

"Ji, do you know that you got these planes back and caused a big accident?" Charles. Francis. Adams IV said, shaking his head slightly.

Ji Cheng smiled slightly and looked over, "Are you saying that it exposes the hole card that I don't have funds in hand?" ”

"That's right." Charles. Francis. Adams IV looked at him, "If your enemies analyze this result, Joaquin Capital will definitely be attacked fiercely next, and you won't have the funds to resist it at that time?" ”

Ji Cheng unhurriedly pointed to the passenger plane that was being modified, "Then they will be exchanged for money to resist." ”

Charles. Francis. Adams IV looked at him speechlessly, "Do you really think you can sell these planes?" And even if I can find a buyer, how much profit can four planes make? ”

"Hehe, you'll know then."

Ji Cheng didn't explain too much.

Of course, he knew that the chances of these four planes being sold in the beautiful country were almost zero, but what if he was not ready to sell the planes in the beautiful country?

For example, what about the airlines that sell these airliners to Huaxia?

And what about the underdeveloped third world countries?

As long as enough discounts are given, Ji Cheng is not afraid that the plane will not be sold at all, because in his memory, Lao Muzi sold the plane in China!

In addition, as the former chairman of Raytheon said, the four planes are indeed not very profitable, although Ji Cheng will definitely be able to earn Charles. Francis. Adams IV could not have imagined profits, but no matter how four planes were still too little.

But what if Ji Cheng can get more than four planes, forty planes, four hundred?

And what he can get from Xiong Guo is not only airplanes, almost all the products of heavy industry can be obtained at a very low price, as long as he can get the materials, it just so happens that Ji Cheng and Myanmar have reached an agreement, and the most important thing at hand is materials!

Naturally, what if your opponent knows the so-called "hole cards"?

Ji Cheng still wished that the group of opponents would think that he was exhausted, and hurry up and take action against himself, when the time comes, he only needs to transport all kinds of materials to the Bear Country, and then pull all kinds of heavy industrial products from the Bear Country to sell them at low prices around the world, and earn enough huge profits, and he will definitely cry for those opponents!

More importantly, the news that is flying all over the outside world is actually released by Ji Cheng himself, if he hadn't released it, how would others know that the four passenger planes he got back were ready to be sold to others?

The reason why Ji Cheng let the outside world know that he was exhausted by these news was to confuse his opponents!
