Chapter 982 Hatcher's Ambition

When the domestic archaeological circles and even the whole society are mourning the loss of "Book of Changes of the King of Qi", there are two people in a presidential suite in Singapore who are very happy.

"Mr. Hatcher, thank you for your full support, so that I can win this "Book of Changes of the King of Qi"."

"Where, for me, this is also a very good investment opportunity. Without your financial resources, Mr. Hawkins, I would never have this opportunity to become one of the owners of "Book of Changes of the King of Qi". To be honest , I have been hunting for treasures for so many years, but I have never seen such a valuable treasure."

The two bald men looked at each other and laughed, and the champagne was filled with sweetness.

The competition for "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" was more intense than anyone expected.

In the face of fierce competition, even Mr. Hawkins, the old money in Europe, can't do it with his personal financial resources.

What is the concept of 6.7 million US dollars?According to media disclosures, the Queen's net worth is only US$5.2 million.

The reason why Mr. Hawkins was able to spend so much money to compete for "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is because his family runs a long-established private bank that provides loans and financial services for many business activities.

As one of the bank's own investment, hedging, and value-added strategies, buying some artworks with appreciation potential is also their business scope.

But even so, $6 million is basically his limit.

The final $7000 million was provided by Hatcher. The two joined forces to purchase the artwork, and then shared the ownership of the artwork according to the proportion of their contribution. This is also one of the forms of ownership of some high-priced artworks.

The auction of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" also set a new record in the world, becoming the highest priced artwork/antique so far.

In fact, the reason why Mr. Hawkins is willing to pay so much money is not only because of Hatcher's strong admiration and support, but also because several experts he hired also think that "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is extremely valuable.Hatcher just gave him a reassurance. After all, no one would easily decide on such a valuable investment.

On the one hand, "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" has extremely high artistic value, academic value and archaeological value. It can be said that it is unique among all the antiques discovered so far.

On the other hand, "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is a national treasure of China. As China's national power continues to rise over the years, one day China will want to spend money to buy this treasure back.

This is a profitable business.

Of course, the reason why Mr. Hawkins was able to make up his mind was also driven by the publicity in the early stage of the auction and the atmosphere at the auction site, and he was a bit desperate.

In fact, he panicked a lot in his heart. Fortunately, Hatcher was with him to share the troubles and bear the risks together.

Now the two are ostensibly chatting and laughing, celebrating with champagne.

In fact, the two of them panicked a lot, for fear that their investment would be in vain.

But now that I have bought it, of course I am thinking in the best direction.

The reason why Hatcher bought "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" actually had other plans.

In the ordinary suite of another mid-range hotel, the air was extremely dull.

The auction is over, but Mr. Zou hasn't left yet.

He is trying to find out who the buyer of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is. Although there is no way to buy back the "Book of Changes of the King of Qi" now, if possible, he also hopes to bring back the second half of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" Exhibited domestically.

Or it can be borrowed for some academic research.

Although he felt that the possibility was unlikely, he was unwilling to give up.

It's a pity that art auctions are often anonymous. No one wants to let people know that they own some sky-high priced art. After all, there are still many big thieves in this world.

"Teacher, please take a break. You haven't closed your eyes all day and night." One of Mr. Zou's students was very worried about Mr. Zou's current state.

"How could I possibly be able to sleep... You guys should have a good rest, you've been exhausted during this time, so leave me alone..." Elder Zou said with a wry smile.

A few more phone calls were made, but nothing came of it. The hope in Mr. Zou's heart was gradually extinguished.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room. A young man went to open the door, said a few words, and let him in sideways: "Teacher, this gentleman said that he has something important to discuss with you. Wang Yishu's."

"You are..." Mr. Zou was only puzzled for a moment, and immediately recognized the person in front of him!
At that time, it was Hatcher's father who stole the "Taixing". Mr. Zou took 3 US dollars and sat on the bench for a day, but failed to bring a treasure back to China.

That kind of helplessness, that kind of humiliation, that kind of grief and indignation, no one is more painful than Zou Lao.

Seeing this face that was at least [-]% similar to that of old Hatcher, at that moment, Elder Zou wished he could hit him with a stick.

It's a pity that he only has a mobile phone at hand, without a stick.

The mobile phone is not willing to smash it.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, but they have to endure it.

"Mr. Zou." Little Hatcher said with a fake smile on his face, "Is this how you treat guests? Don't you want "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi"?"

"It was you who bought "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi"?" Elder Zou's face suddenly changed.

"No, of course I can't afford such a precious treasure as "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi", but I know who the buyer is, and I have good influence over the buyer. If you promise me one condition, I can persuade my friend to buy it "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is lent to you for exhibition..."

At that moment, Zou Lao had mixed feelings in his heart.

How dare this robber and thief come to do business with him?
However, he couldn't help asking.

He could only suppress his anger and ask, "What conditions?"

"I heard that your country is vigorously developing the shipwreck excavation business. You know, we, Hatcher and Sons, have the world's best marine exploration, shipwreck excavation technology and unparalleled experience. We want to cooperate with your country's archaeological association , and work together to excavate the sunken ship under the water, so that those beautiful treasures can be seen again..."

"This is impossible!" At this moment, Elder Zou understood Hatcher's wolf ambition.

"The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" is just a bait. What Hatcher wants is the shipwreck that has a long history in China and is full of all kinds of precious porcelain and treasures. asset.

He may be able to make "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" exhibited in China, but he will definitely impose various harsh conditions.

And what he can snatch from the country will be more treasures.

As for treasure hunters like him, his hands were always dirty, and it was almost impossible to expect them to return all the treasures they unearthed.

"One day, we will take back "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi", but as long as I am here, you will never want to steal more treasures from our country!" Elder Zou pointed out the door, "Now, please leave!"

Give me a mellow roll!

"I believe we will cooperate in the future!" Ha Chebing was not angry, but turned and left with a fake smile on his face.

Elder Zou looked at his back and said nothing for a long time.

After a long time, he closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
