Chapter 284: It's a sad and angry thing
Zhu Yu left with Ran Jie and the others, and the battle skirt was once again included in the space.
In Zhu Yu's opinion, how can it take a month for Taurethrim to get things done, right?
It will take at least half a month, otherwise, it is very likely that you are perfunctory.
In fact, Zhu Yuti had such high conditions, and he also knew that it was impossible for Taureth to take out the Dunhuang secret scrolls collected in the British Museum.
Although Zhu Yu knew that there was Huang Kan's commentary on the Analects during the Han and Wei and Jin dynasties, after all, the annotations on the Analects that are now commonly used in China are annotations by He Yan in the later period. It was many years later.
But if they can't get it back, the British Museum can't take these things out, and it's unlikely that Taurethrim has the ability to get them back.
But Zhu Yu put forward a difficult goal, the purpose is to let Taurethrim work hard, maybe there are any surprises?
Take what is above, and get what is in it; Take from it, get it from below; If you take from below, you will get nothing.
Zhu Yu did the opposite, and the goal set for Taurethis was the highest, and if he could get the middle, he would be content.
However, to be on the safe side, he contacted Smith and told him that Taurethrim was going to buy a billion dollars worth of Chinese artifacts in exchange for the golden dress.
If the guest he contacts doesn't have the ability, forget it.
Of course, as long as it is a cultural relic of China, you can take it and take a look, and Zhu Yu can judge it himself.
As soon as Smith heard it, he knew that it might be okay. He promised to answer, but there was no guarantee that the other party would agree.
Zhu Yu didn't have any thoughts about this. The East and West world is unique, and he is not afraid of not finding a buyer.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who thought so, so did Taurethrim.
In order to avoid complications, Taureth called his assistants all over the world to find something that could be sold, and the price was less than a few hundred million dollars, which could be discussed!
Of course, he won't take a lot of catalogs to Zhu Yu to choose. Although Taureth could see that Zhu Yu was the kind of low-level civilian thinking, he was not a good lake.
Of course, it is not realistic for you to change a person from an ordinary person to a super-rich person in more than half a year.
Too many people who get rich overnight, even if they look at their behavior after three or five years, are still quite naΓ―ve.
This week, while Zhu Yu was dating Joanna normally, he received seven calls from those who were interested in buying the golden battle dress.
However, the bids are all under 100 million US dollars, and the other is to fool Zhu Yu, thinking that he is a novice, and the offer is 500,000 US dollars.
What made Zhu Yu cry and laugh the most was that there was a self-proclaimed original owner of the golden battle skirt, and asked Zhu Yu to hand over the things obediently, otherwise he would kill his whole family.
Then Zhu Yuyang pretended to agree, and when he took Ran Jie and the three of them to the meeting, he found that it was a gangster in New York City, and he had no intention of coming up with an idea after knowing about it.
was beaten up by Ran Jie and the three of them very neatly.
A week later, Taurethrim called Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, there is a batch of bronzes, now in London, do you have time to take a look? That's not good luck going this way. β
In fact, Taureth didn't know if Zhu Yu could be sure to exchange these things. If he's sure, he's fine, but if he's unsure, he'll have to look for it again. So I'm not going to ship it to New York yet.
"Do you have a picture?" Zhu Yu didn't want to run empty.
"My assistant will send you a picture later." Taureth didn't think there would be any intersection with Zhu Yu, so he didn't leave a social media account.

Within a while, Zhu Yu received more than a dozen photos.
It's a dozen photos, not a dozen bronzes!
At this time, Zhu Yu was watching those people bid in the freight yard.
Now that he's gone, Jason has opened his mouth a few more times, and the auction every two days will be well arranged.
Although Zhu Yu has the eye of heaven, he no longer cares about the interests of the thirty or fifty thousand yuan in the container.
Ran Jie and the three of them were protecting them around, and when they saw Zhu Yu's expression suddenly becoming very strange, they were also a little surprised.
In the past few days, the people who called Zhu Yu wanted to buy a battle skirt.
Except for the one or two who couldn't see themselves clearly, the others were all very peaceful, even very enthusiastic to the point of stuttering.
After all, if you can get this golden battle dress, then you will definitely be able to get out of the circle!
So today Ran Jie suddenly had this expression, which was really very surprising.
Looking at the treasures in the photos, Zhu Yu really had mixed feelings.
Although he is a layman, although he only looks at the pictures, he can basically be sure that these things should be real.
There is an introduction at the end of the photo.
"These things were bought by my grandfather's dad in the first place. Just kept it in the basement of our house all the time. Because other than him, the rest of our family doesn't like this kind of thing.
If it weren't for the fact that we were going to sell the old house recently, these things would still be in the basement. β
This should be a sentence left by the original owner, and it was finally sent to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu immediately called Taurethrim:
"Where's the stuff in London? I'll go over now. β
"London suburbs, when you get there, contact my assistant Ai Wen." Taureth listened to Zhu Yu's words and was a little happy.
If Zhu Yu is sure that he can exchange this batch of things, then he will make a lot of money!
Of course, Zhu Yu was sure that if these things were given to him, he would also make a lot of money!
However, Zhu Yu is self-aware, he thinks that Taurethis means, he will pick a few of these things.
After all, to be honest, as long as a few of them have inscriptions, then he will fly!
Of course, looking at the bronzes that can be called national treasures stacked together in the photo, Zhu Yu's heart was pinched.
What he wanted to do most now was to go over and see these things, as long as they weren't made in that village in the country last week, but made by East and West Zhou, then he would have to save them immediately!
Such precious things are piled up together like piles of debris and garbage, which is heart-wrenching!
That night, Zhu Yu rented a plane and flew to London!
When he arrived in London, Zhu Yu didn't have the slightest intention of resting, and called Ai Wen directly.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu." Ai Wen is a white-collar worker with short blond hair, tall and delicately dressed, wearing round-framed glasses, and a little intellectual.
He looks twenty-four or five years old, but he's quite capable.
"Hello, can I go and see those bronzes now?"
Ai Wen herself works as an administrative assistant and knows almost nothing about cultural relics.
It's just that when Taurethrim assigned tasks to her subordinates, she talked to her classmates and friends according to the arrangement, and it turned out that a high school classmate claimed that there were a bunch of things at home that seemed to be Chinese cultural relics.
In fact, in foreign countries, most people do not know about what they call foreign affairs, and they do not care.
Like Ai Wen's classmate, because his ancestors had such a collection, but he was not interested in it, he didn't know about it, and he didn't care about it.
If it weren't for the move to clean up, these things would definitely still be in the basement and no one cared about them.
Many overseas cultural relics have emerged in this way over the years.
Of course, there are also those who specialize in deceiving Chinese people to pick up leaks, but that basically belongs to the professional circle.
For ordinary people, the chance of being able to contact Chinese people is very small, just as the chances of ordinary Chinese people being able to contact foreigners are also very rare.
That is, in these years in China, because of the fire of treasure appreciation, collection and other programs, the national collection seems to be very hot, even in the village, I know that old things are valuable.
Prosperous collection.
Otherwise, who knows how much their pickle jar and porcelain dish for feeding cats are worth?
As soon as Ai Wen got the news, she immediately went to see it, took a photo, and then reported it to her superiors.
Layer by layer, he went to Taurethrim, and then after Taurethrim personally screened it, he asked Zhu Yu to take a look at these first.
After all, it is more in line with the scope of the content that Zhu Yu said. And some of the others are too expensive.
Ai Wen originally planned to invite Zhu Yu and them to have a meal first, and then go to see things.
The group handed over the reception of Zhu Yu and them to her, which made Ai Wen very stressed.
After all, this is a task assigned by the highest level of the group, and the prize money alone is as high as 100,000 euros!
Of course, if it is done.
So Ai Wen attaches great importance to it, and she also dressed up today.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu's first sentence was to go to see things.
For a moment, she even wondered if she wasn't attractive enough. Why did these four young men pay so much attention to themselves?
However, the request of the VIP must be met on the best of its ability.
She nodded hurriedly and said:
"Okay, but why don't you go get something to eat first? I've booked a restaurant. β
"Let's go and see something first." Zhu Yu said, "Only after seeing things can I have the appetite to eat." β
Ai Wen led Zhu Yu and them into the business car arranged by the company and went to the home of her classmate Kelil.
Ai Wen did not tell Kelil that Zhu Yu was a VIP of the group's top management, but only said that she had helped her contact a person who wanted to buy Chinese cultural relics.
Kyryl is very happy, she can dispose of the things in the basement, save the disposal fee, and make a lot of money, so she is naturally happy.
Half an hour later, the van stopped at the gate of a large courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
Look at the outer wall of this courtyard, it has a history of dozens or hundreds of years. The stone walls are mottled, and the vines and plants climbing on them have thick bowl mouths, which is very old.
Ai Wen stepped forward to call the door, and soon, a woman of about the same age opened the door - compared to Ai Wen, Kelyl was much fatter, half a head shorter, about 1.6 meters, and had freckles on her face.
Zhu Yu guessed that this should be married.
"Oh, Aiwen, I'm so glad to see you!" Kelly smiled and hugged Ai Wen, then looked at Zhu Yu and whispered:
"Are these handsome guys coming to buy my? These guys are really handsome, Ai Wen, if I were you, I would definitely hook him! β
Ai Wen's face flushed, and she said in the ear of Caryl, who was embarrassed:
"They understand English."
"What?" Caryl was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little awkwardly: "I thought it was ...... Well, I'm actually here to help. Come on in! β
Caryl let a few people into the courtyard.
The main building is a small three-storey building. It can be seen that this family is relatively rich.
However, at the moment, the building is a little dilapidated, and it is obvious that it has not been repaired for a long time.
Keryl took it directly to a small room at the back of the courtyard and said:
"There's an entrance to the basement, come, I'll take you inside. These things have been sitting for a long time, and they have already rusted. β
She opened the door of the small house, pulled the cord to turn on the light, then walked to the wall and bent down to lift an iron-covered door.
Ran Jie hurriedly stepped forward to help, fixed the iron cover, and revealed a downward staircase.
Zhu Yu saw that there were still some machines in this small room, and he guessed that these things might be to maintain temperature and humidity in the basement or something, but these machines were also rusty, and they were obviously not used for a long time.
Keryl said as she walked down:
"There's a lot of space down there, but it's messy, and we barely come down. After all, there is no interest in these things. β
After walking down, there is a door at the end of the stairs, but the door is not locked.
Caryl opened the door and said:
"Some things are broken, less than two - there were thieves some time ago, and when they were found carrying two things over the wall, when they saw us, they threw them away in fright and broke them......"
"What about the shards?" Zhu Yu hurriedly asked.
Kelly said as a matter of course: "Throw it away!" Thrown away a long time ago. It's all broken, do you want to pick it up? It's all rusted like that......"
As he spoke, he went into the basement.
It's well decorated, but it should have been opened for a long time, and there was a strange smell in the air.
Metallic rust smells.
But Zhu didn't care, their eyes were all on the stacked utensils!
At least a hundred pieces!
Zhu Yu swore that he had not seen as many bronzes in his life as he had seen today! So complete!
The small ones have jue, horns, spoons, arrowheads, and the big ones have tripods, mustaches, honors, plates, and so on.
Looking at the basement space, it should have been put on shelves. But now it's all piled on the ground.
Originally, there were shelves, and a lot of them could be put in the same space, and they were three-dimensional, but now because they are spread on the ground, there is little space, so many things are crowded together, and many of them have been missing parts because of collisions.
At this moment, Zhu Yu has the heart to kill!
When the eye of heaven opened, he had long known that these things were real, and none of them were fake!
Looking at the rust on it, it should have been unearthed at least nearly a hundred years ago and then transported here.
Historically, in the twenties and thirties of the last century, due to weather conditions and the appearance of a large number of robbers, many bronzes appeared in large quantities from the ground and were bought very cheaply and lost overseas.
This batch should have gone abroad at that time.
Looking at these things that should have been called national treasures, staying in the museum and being admired by the descendants of China, in order to remember the lives of their ancestors, are now placed here like rags.
Zhu Yu is really distressed!
Even the three of Ran Jie, who didn't know much about it, clenched their fists at this moment!
It's so embarrassing!
