Chapter 980 Auction of "Book of Changes of King Qi"

At Singapore Airport, a passenger plane from China landed slowly, and Mr. Zou came out with the flow of people.

Next to him, an archaeologist who came with him supported Mr. Zou with some distress. The plane of more than ten hours was already a very big test for Mr. Zou's age. Mr. Zou still insisted on refusing Fly first class or business class, but squeezed in economy class.

After the joint fundraising of Xiaobai × "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi", together with the support from previous art auctions, as well as donations from many companies, individuals and social groups, the Archaeological Association finally raised 17 billion yuan, a total of 2.4 million U.S. dollars , which is more than double the auction price of US$1 million.

However, according to news from the industry, many international collectors, collection consultants of the rich and powerful, and some speculators have already heard the news.

Is $2.4 million enough?

In fact, in the depths of Mr. Zou's heart, he felt that high probability is not enough...

Now Mr. Zou really doesn’t dare to spend a penny on himself. He has even realized that if the final price difference is not much, he can fill in all his net worth, and he will also write the "Book of Changes of the King of Qi" "The second half is back.

But when faced with hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, what use is his own net worth?
But at this moment, he really hoped that he could bring "Book of Changes of the King of Qi" back.

20 years ago, he took 1 US dollars, holding the number [-], and sat on the bench for a few days, without even a chance to raise a card.

And this time, he came back with 2.4 million US dollars, hoping...to bring the national treasure home.

Leaving the airport and on the way to the hotel, Elder Zou closed his eyes and muttered a prayer.

If Duke Huan of Qi is alive in heaven, he will definitely hope that his relics can return to the motherland.

The king of Qi, Xiaobai, is blessed by the spirit of the sky, let me take the treasure of this country home, the land where you used to live...

But he didn't know that Duke Huan of Qi's spirit in heaven didn't want him to take "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" back...

Gu Xiaobai was almost torn to death.

He thought it would be a brilliant idea to salvage the sunken ship and sell antiques to raise money for his physics research.

See, the boat is mine, the stuff is mine, but I've hidden it for thousands of years.

Now I've dug up what's mine again, and I've sold it myself to fund myself, and the money is still mine.

Milk yourself, through the best value-added channel of "time", unlimited value-added.

What a brilliant idea!

The theory is clear, there is no problem at all!

But why is there such a big problem?
Time is always a little bitch who won't go according to your ideas. It can make you cry and laugh, making you dumbfounded.

Up to now, the development of the matter has completely exceeded his expectations.

On the one hand, Gu Xiaobai really didn't want Mr. Zou to spend so much money on the "Book of Changes of the King of Qi" he was selling.

With so much money, so many people desperately raising funds, so many people gave their all to help, and in the end, they were cheated out of the money by themselves?

Gu Xiaobai felt that he was worse than a person who illegally raised funds and ran away.

On the other hand, Gu Xiaobai hoped that Mr. Zou could get "Book of Changes of the King of Qi" back, because the value of "Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is no longer what it wrote, or its origin.

It's the heavy time of more than 2000 years, and the emotional sustenance of countless people it bears.

The value of Qi Wang Yishu itself has been relegated to the second place.

Therefore, now that Gu Xiaobai has unearthed other things from the boat, he dare not sell them casually.

Until he figured out a way to get the best of both worlds, he couldn't sell it.

Take it to open a hot pot restaurant for my dad and don't sell it.

In the hot pot restaurant that just opened, Zhao Xingsheng called Mr. Zou.

"Teacher...it's okay, I just called to see if you are okay now, don't put too much psychological pressure on me, watch out for your blood pressure..."

While Zhao Xingsheng was calling Mr. Zou, he was watching that Gu Ping was putting mutton oil on the "five-tone five-flavored 鬲".

While wiping, he also explained to him: "This pot must be maintained. Especially these pots for boiling water, if you don't wipe something to maintain it after brushing, it will rust, and you can wipe it with whatever you eat. Of course, the cooking pot must be smeared with lard, and the mutton hot pot, of course, must be smeared with mutton..."

Zhao Xingsheng's own blood pressure soared all of a sudden.

No, no, no!Bronze ware cannot be maintained in this way, and grease cannot be used...

This thing needs to be anti-rust, moisture-proof, shock-proof, and light-proof...

There is another one, that is, you must not eat hot pot with it!
This guy Xiaobai knew it clearly, but he didn't care about it!

But in the end, Zhao Xingsheng didn't say anything.

He decided to make an imitation while Gu Ping was not paying attention, and secretly replaced this five-tone five-flavored 鬲.

If you want the imitation to be seamless, you must also learn this method of applying oil. After the time is finished, remember to apply oil again, otherwise Gu Ping will definitely be able to see it...

While thinking about it, Zhao Xingsheng seriously asked Gu Ping how to apply oil...

Gu Ping was very happy.

Look, even the big professor is asking me for advice!
Unbeknownst to him, this great professor has evil intentions and has already extended his claws to his copper hot pot.

At the same time, in the presidential suite of a luxury hotel in Singapore, Hatcher and a white man were talking in a low voice.

"Mr. Hatcher, you are a great expert in Chinese antiques. How much do you think this "Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is worth?"

"I think "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is already a treasure. It doesn't lose money. As long as you dare to buy it, no matter how many years you keep it, it will be the best investment. There are some treasures, no matter what. Appreciated. Can you imagine, if there is an opportunity for you to buy the "Mona Lisa", what would you do?"

Hearing the other party's breathing gradually became heavier, Hatcher said: "The current valuation of "Mona Lisa" is 7.7 million euros, but fundamentally speaking, "Mona Lisa" has only increased in value due to hype. The value is far from that high, and the potential value of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is ten or a hundred times that of Mona Lisa, because it is a real treasure."

"There may not be more than ten such valuable treasures in the history of cultural relics in a country, and it is impossible to have replicas and imitations, because no one can fake its 2700-year history, as long as you buy it, Someday you can sell it to the Chinese for many, many times more money."

With Hatcher's assurance, the white man nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I will do my best in this competition."

At the same time, many wealthy people, professional auctioneers, collection consultants, and museum auction experts are constantly adjusting their budgets.

The auction war is about to start.
