Chapter 96 103 Letters worth hundreds of millions!
Chapter 96 103 Letters worth hundreds of millions!
From Lin Hao's point of view, it is absolutely absurd to sign this statement. If you don't have to share the responsibility, why should I sell it to you cheaply?Am I crazy?
However, thinking about it from another angle, it seems understandable for Sotheby's to ask for a disclaimer. After all, the risk of this thing is too scary.
No matter what, Lin Hao would definitely not sign the contract. At worst, he would have to find another buyer. Anyway, he would not have to worry about sales.So I returned the disclaimer and replied calmly:
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Charles, it's impossible for me to sign the disclaimer; 50 billion yuan, equivalent to less than [-] million U.S. dollars, we don't take the risk!"
"Mr. Lin, signing the disclaimer is the reason for the auction house to avoid risks. It has no other meaning. We will never intentionally cheat, so you can rest assured!"
Charles was not surprised. If Lin Hao really signed it, it would be abnormal!A huge contract trap, as long as the other party has a normal mind, it is impossible to agree.
They just want to test, how the other party will react, if it is really easy to deceive, why not do it?Charles guessed just now that Lin Hao could not be fooled.
They have to check the letter of credit as soon as they come up. Obviously, they came prepared. This kind of low-level routine is impossible to fool successfully, and the temptation is a waste of expression.
"Hmph, what do you guys think? I don't know and I'm not interested in knowing. If you don't want to make a deal, let's go back to our homes as soon as possible. It's not safe to spend the night at sea!"
Lin Hao was very unhappy and in a bad mood. These people dared to fool themselves, and they were really not honest.There was a hint of threat between his words, his tone was bad, and his face was indifferent.
Charles hurriedly waved his hand and apologized to Lin Hao, explaining that he had no other ideas. I hope he doesn't mind. The sculpture must be purchased today. This is an order from the group headquarters.
The major shareholders of Sotheby's jointly raised [-] million US dollars to acquire Michelangelo's sculptures. If it was screwed up, the consequences would be very serious, and Charles would have to pack up and leave.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, don't sign the disclaimer! But you must sign a guarantee to prove that you didn't get it through theft, robbery, etc. How do you feel?"
"No problem, acceptable, this is very reasonable!"
Lin Hao agreed, and reached a preliminary agreement. He went back to the fishing boat and asked Ma Boss to help him. He used a crane to hoist the safe to the rear deck of the luxury yacht, and opened it for them to check.
A group of appraisers, auctioneers, and technicians surrounded the sculpture in amazement, all dumbfounded and ecstatic to witness the birth of a national treasure artwork!
Michelangelo!Old age boutique!The value is at least around one billion U.S. dollars, which is unbelievable when you think about it; it is a strange feeling that it mysteriously appeared in China.
After identification, testing, and experiments, it must be an authentic Michelangelo product. The carving style, detail processing, and element detection results all show that the authentic product is undoubtedly.
Charles can't wait, if he does this well, he can return to the UK, get promoted and raise his salary, and his future will definitely be very bright.He hastily urged:
"Boss Lin, let's sign and pay immediately."
"OK no problem, happy cooperation!"
Lin Hao nodded in agreement, signed the contract, took away the bill of lading and the bank letter of credit, and the sculpture belonged to Sotheby's, and he got a payment of 50 billion, nearly [-] million U.S. dollars!
Although there are 50 million U.S. dollars on the letter of credit, the transaction volume is only 8 billion yuan. Of course, only more than [-] million U.S. dollars can be withdrawn, and there is no tax or handling fee.
After the transaction was completed, Lin Hao was about to leave. He didn't want to continue dealing with Sotheby's. There were too many routines, and he was afraid that he would be fooled by them if he was not careful one day.
However, he was retained by Charles and asked about the harvest of the salvage of the sunken ship. He hadn't completed the task yet, so he couldn't go back and hand over the work.Sotheby's has a great deal on these babes.
Very very interested!Still want to continue to cooperate!
"Mr. Lin, if your company still has such precious antiques in the future, you can sell them to us at Sotheby's. The price will definitely not be too low. You can also participate in the auction."
"It's possible, but it depends on the situation. If the price and safety can be guaranteed, there is no problem in cooperation. The premise is not to think about cheating or making small moves!"
Lin Hao thought for a while, and answered meaningfully.If we cooperate with Sotheby's, the trouble will be much less, and I don't have to worry about so many things, so it will definitely be easier.
Charles smiled awkwardly, knowing what Lin Hao meant, referring to the disclaimer just now, which seemed to be very ordinary, but the consequences would be very serious if signed, which is extremely deceptive.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Lin, that was just an accident, and I promise it won't happen again in the future! It's absolutely safe. As for the price, it depends on the value of the auction item, specifically."
"Wait a minute, I'll show you something, right away~~"
Lin Hao interrupted Charles and went back to get things. The so-called hearing is believing seeing is believing. No matter what you say, it is better to see it with your own eyes. The treasure map is the most convincing!
He is not afraid of being found treasures, they do not have the strength to salvage the sunken ship in a short time, and Brother Octopus is fast, he can go deep into the Caribbean Sea at any time, and get rid of the sunken ship in minutes.
Back on the fishing boat, Lin Hao handed over the bank letter of credit to his wife for safekeeping, and then took the iron box and climbed onto the luxury yacht to attract the attention of Charles and the others.
"Don't worry, who can speak Spanish, I'll show you a few blueprints of the letter, and I'll talk about it after reading it first." Lin Hao pretended to be profound, and calmly took out a letter.
In Charles's opinion, the contents of these letters should be full of articles, and an expert should come over and translate them.What secret could be valued by Lin Hao and the others?
In fact, Lin Hao didn't know the fart. Isn't he paying attention to these suspected treasure maps just to make a fortune?Let you be a free translator
An old man with a white beard pushed his presbyopic glasses, leaned over the table and read carefully, very serious, soon his face was full of surprise and astonishment, and finally replied:
"Fuck~ You will never guess that this sculpture was stolen by a Spanish missionary in Florence!"
"The letter said that in order to steal this treasure, this damn missionary sent the item to the Spanish Navy and was appointed by the high-ranking royal family to flee to Mexico."
"There will be no more after that, it should be a shipwreck!"
Everyone was stunned, Charles was dumbfounded, and finally figured out why Lin Hao was not afraid, even if Spain knew that the sculpture came from a sunken warship, they didn't dare to pursue it!
The missionaries sent by the royal family to steal Italian treasures are definitely a scandal that caused a sensation in the world. Even if hundreds of years have passed, they will still be ridiculed and humiliated internationally...
Because of this, this letter is very valuable, and it is very meaningful when paired with the bronze sculpture!The value can be hundreds of millions!
