Chapter 150 A treasure more precious than the Mayan crystal skull and pharaoh mummy is obtained!
This time,
Following Max, we came to this large villa built on the mountain.
The tension is actually shocking.
First of all,
He didn't expect that the owner of this villa was Steve, a world-class celebrity!
Secondly,
He didn't expect that Steve was actually a hidden big collector.
Moreover, the ultimate bidder behind the 2014 Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup turned out to be this person.
once again,
He hadn't expected Steve's collection to be so grand.
Although Steve just introduced it, a small half of the fine products belong to Mr. Bill.
But the first exhibition hall, the second exhibition hall and the third exhibition hall that Zhang Li had not seen still shocked him beyond compare.
Especially the third exhibition hall which he had not visited yet.
To know,
Even the exquisite Ru kiln products and the golden masks of Egyptian pharaohs cannot enter the first exhibition hall!
At last,
Zhang Li never expected that the most valuable item among his treasures turned out to be the paper with words written on it that he had not paid much attention to before.
The tension is known.
The basis for judging the importance of the Daxia bronzes is to see whether there are any words on them.
As long as there is an inscription, the level and value of the bronze ware will increase more than ten times.
He didn't expect that
In the hands of American Steve, a document with text and records seems to follow this principle.
and,
In order to get this information, Steve was so proactive.
Not only cash payments are accepted.
Moreover, it can also give Zhang Li a lot of company shares.
Except for US shares.
Steve can even provide shares in Daxia Company.
and,
Just now, when they were browsing the first and second exhibition halls together, Steve had already heard Zhang Li introduce that this time he came here to buy targeted drugs from Stryker Pharmaceuticals.
In order to get Zhang Li to sell the information to him,
Steve was even willing to exchange it for shares in Stryker Pharmaceuticals.
"Mr. Zhang!"
"To make friends!"
"I'll give you something!"
Seeing Zhang Li remained silent,
Steve said again.
then,
In front of Zhang Li,
Ask the butler to go to the first exhibition hall and take something numbered 97#.
Hearing Steve's words, the butler's pupils widened in shock.
Then I looked at the information again.
He walked out of the meeting room quickly...
"Mr. Zhang, please sell this to me!"
Documents recording the massacre of Indians by American soldiers.
The value of this thing is really huge.
Not to mention the historical and cultural value it represents.
Just say that it is used to trade with the US Secretary of Defense, the US Secretary of Propaganda, the secret department for spreading US values, etc.
The value achieved is also unparalleled.
This thing,
Not only is it precious, it also records a piece of history.
more importantly,
This is actually a bomb that overturns American values...
Steve wanted to get his hands on it.
This thing will become an important means for him!
"I go!"
“This thing is a bit crazy!”
"The history of the United States is only 200 years! So for them, the dating of antiques is not necessarily determined by time!"
Seeing Steve's excitement,
Zhang Ting, who was thinking quickly in silence, also realized why this thing was so attractive to the collector Steve.
For Daxia, which has a history of thousands of years.
Things from World War II are exactly the same as modern ones.
But for the United States, which has only a history of more than 200 years,
Things from World War II are the same as things from the Tang and Song dynasties...
especially,
This kind of thing has a provenance, records, photos, the exact shooting location and the person who took the photo...
This is a very important thing for the new country of the United States.
and,
Strictly speaking, this thing is still a piece of "black material!"
It’s still a piece of “evidence”.
If used well, it will create huge waves!
“I have to sell it!”
Zhang Li certainly wanted to take some dirty laundry on an American back home and give it to the relevant authorities.
but,
Seeing Steve's determination to get the thing, and that he was in someone else's villa, the thing was also in someone else's hands.
Zhang Li doesn’t think that he can get away with it if he doesn’t sell anything…
Bang!
In the tense silence,
While everyone else was looking at him,
The butler, who had just hurried out, pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
In this person's hand, he was holding a small box the size of a basketball.
Wow~
Looking at the thing in the butler's hand, everyone looked over curiously.
after all,
Steve just said that the things were taken from the first exhibition hall.
Wow~
Steve took the box from the butler and opened it in front of everyone.
then,
When Gong Feiyu saw what he took out of the box, he started to spit out sweet words.
The tension made the pupils dilate instantly!
The twelve zodiac animal heads!
——Dog beast!
The mysterious, lost dog head with no news is actually in Steve's hands?
"The value of this thing was originally not enough to be put in the first exhibition hall, but because of the strength of Daxia and because this thing is the most famous, I moved it into the first exhibition hall!"
"Now, I'll give him to Mr. Zhang!!"
"Mr. Zhang, let's make friends!"
With everyone staring in amazement, Steve smiled, put the dog head back into the box, and pushed it in front of Zhang Li.
The value of the dog head is actually not that great.
According to the auction prices of several other first letters, it was not even 1 million US dollars.
but,
It’s so famous!
The history it represents is worth telling!
Steve, who was familiar with Daxia's style, directly gave Zhang Li a gift that he couldn't refuse.
Aren’t you, Mr. Zhang Li, from Daxia?
If you take this dog head back and donate it, you will receive great honor and a certificate!
Don't you Daxia people all say that you are returning home in glory?
I give you this gift.
You brought the money back to your country in glory, isn't that beautiful?
As a global billionaire, Steve immediately grasped Zhang Li's lifeline.
This thing,
The tension can't be reduced!
more importantly,
The last time Zhang Li came here, he detected traces of the lost snake head on Xiayiwei Island.
He had originally planned to stop at Xiayiwei Island on his way back and bring back the snake head.
He didn't expect that
Before he could take the snake's head,
The dog head came out directly!
Previously, there was no news about the whereabouts of four of the twelve animal heads: the snake head, the sheep head, the chicken head, and the dog head.
Zhang Li didn't expect that
He found the snake head and the dog head in one go!
"Thank you!"
Turning around, he saw Gong Feiyu trembling with surprise.
Zhang Li took a deep breath and held the box that Steve pushed over to him in his hands.
Dog head, now that you have seen it, you must get it.
Just now on the way here, Max told Zhang Li that what he saw and heard today had to be kept secret.
Therefore,
If he left this place, he would never be able to mention the dog head again.
He would never have the chance to come into contact with this mysteriously lost dog head, which represented a special history.
People like Steve are not short of money, so Zhang Li can't buy it even if he wants to.
This is his only chance to get the dog head back.
Finally, I gritted my teeth.
Zhang Li accepted the gift!
"Mr. Steve!"
"Give me shares in Stryker Pharmaceuticals!"
Taking the dog head from Steve's hand, Zhang Li stated his conditions without hesitation.
last time,
Through Lu Yashi's detection, it was discovered that Stryker Pharmaceuticals will have powerful special targeted drugs to be launched in the future.
That would be a good opportunity to take over the shares of Stryker Pharmaceuticals!
"anything else?"
Hearing Zhang Li's words, Steve also smiled.
However, after hearing that Zhang Li did not raise any more questions after making his request, he asked another question.
"More? If there are any more shares, I will buy them slowly!"
Zhang Li thought Steve was asking him about the other shares in Stryker Pharmaceuticals.
"No!"
"I mean, your stuff is worth 30 billion, but the shares of Stryker Pharmaceuticals in my hand are only worth 20 billion US dollars!"
"The market value of Stryker Pharmaceuticals is currently 100 billion, and I own 20% of its shares!"
Steve smiled quickly.
Help Zhang Li introduce himself.
"Then the rest will be exchanged for shares of Daxia Company?"
I didn't expect that Stryker's market value would be so low, but Zhang Li was happy that he could get more things.
He immediately wanted to get a wave of shares in Daxia Company.
"Daxia Company, which one do you want?"
Steve smiled instantly.
Seeing Steve's confident smile, Zhang Li's eyes lit up and he asked directly: "Penguin? Taomao? Pinxixi?"
Zhang Li quickly pointed out several companies of Daxia that were listed on the U.S. stock market.
then,
He heard Steve's explanation:
“I do own shares in these companies!”
"But it's a bit difficult to handle $10 billion worth of shares in these companies!"
"These companies are all listed companies. As a secret investor, if I sell these stocks, I will be required to disclose information!"
"This will not only expose me, but may also expose our deal..."
"Daxia Company is very sensitive about this!"
In Steve's hand,
There are stocks of large companies with tension points.
But Zhang Li only has 10 billion left to be paid, which is too small.
"Then give me NVIDIA's. I see the boss of this company is Chinese, and I quite like him!"
Hearing Steve's explanation,
Zhang Li said immediately.
If it’s hard to take over Daxia Company, then take the American company.
just,
He knew that Nvidia would become very popular in the future.
If Steve gave him cash, he would use the bulk of it to buy Nvidia stock.
In that case,
It would be better to take it directly from Steve.
"it is good!"
"no problem!"
Hearing Zhang Li's words, Steve nodded immediately.
Shares worth 30 billion yuan in total are too small a sum for him.
What he wants is information!
Wow~
Wow~
quickly,
With the help of the shocked Gong Feiyu, Zhang Li and Steve both signed.
then,
Zhang Li now has Nvidia shares worth 10 billion yuan.
He also owns 20% of Stryker Pharmaceuticals.
When signing the agreement, Zhang Li finally understood why the market value of Stryker Pharmaceuticals was so low.
original,
This pharmaceutical company currently only has a special medicine for treating brain cancer. The targeted lung disease medicine worth tens of billions of dollars in the tension detection information has not yet been developed.
Hence the smaller valuation.
But Zhang Li understood.
When targeted drugs for lung diseases are launched,
After Stryker Pharmaceuticals had two high-value products,
Its valuation has absolutely skyrocketed.
The 20% stake he holds will definitely increase greatly in the future!
and,
Steve's 20% stake also comes with a seat on the board of directors.
That is,
From the moment Zhang Li signed the contract, he became a director of Stryker Pharmaceuticals...
.
"Mr. Zhang?"
five minutes later,
Max, who had been silent throughout the whole process, stood up and asked immediately after seeing Zhang Li complete the transaction.
As a workaholic, Max doesn't like to waste any time.
It was a rare opportunity for him to accompany Zhang Li to visit the Stryker exhibition hall for a while, but now he had to go to work.
Zhang Li had finished his work and wanted to leave.
“I’m still a little curious!”
All the excavated treasures from World War II have been exchanged for shares of better value. Seeing Max asking, Zhang Li knew that it was time to leave.
but,
At this moment in his heart,
There is still a curiosity at work.
That is - what is in Steve's first exhibition hall.
A head of one of the twelve zodiac animals is the item numbered 97.
He was very curious,
What are the things with earlier numbers?
"Hahahaha!"
"Mr. Zhang, please leave some hope for next time!"
"Let me tell you something!"
As soon as Zhang Li's curiosity was revealed, Steve saw it.
He has seen this situation too many times.
Faced with Zhang Li's curiosity, he also felt a sense of pride.
then,
In the midst of laughter,
He simply picked up the remote control and turned on a TV on the wall of the conference room.
"Let me show you artifact #45!"
"This artifact is exactly the same type as the one I'm trading with you this time. I've decided to number the information you gave me as #193, and this is artifact #45 in the first exhibition hall!"
Under the curious gaze of Zhang Li and others,
Steve explained quickly, then pulled up a picture on the TV.
"what is this?"
Watching the pictures on TV, which were like memorials but covered with English, I felt tense and full of curiosity.
"Is this the armistice agreement of the American Civil War?"
"This is a truce agreement between the Southern and Northern states!"
"Isn't this thing lost?"
"Didn't they say that it was hidden by a governor of California two hundred years ago?"
Zhang Li doesn't know much English.
Gong Feiyu quickly pointed out the names and origins of the things in the photo.
As a city in California, Silicon Valley has always had a treasure legend: the search for the lost original draft of the North-South Armistice Agreement.
then,
The governor who secretly took away the signed version of the armistice agreement is from Silicon Valley...
“This is a re-signed version!”
"The original is indeed lost!"
"However, even if it is a re-signed version, it is still legally binding! It is also an invaluable historical witness!"
After hearing what Gong Feiyu said, Steve explained.
The armistice agreement of the Civil War that he opened was the same kind of artifact as the information Zhang Li had just given him to trade.
They are all important witnesses and records of American history.
For Americans,
very important!
"Then if someone finds the original agreement, wouldn't this re-signed version be useless?"
After hearing what Steve said, Gong Feiyu asked curiously again.
“No one can find the original!”
"The original has been sought for hundreds of years, but to no avail!"
"That governor opposed the armistice and stole the signed agreement, but the tide of history cannot be stopped by anyone!"
In response to Gong Feiyu's curiosity, Steve waved his hand.
Original,
It can't happen!
It may even have been burned by the governor at the time.
His re-signed edition is the most valuable.
"Fuck me!"
"Fuck!!"
Gong Feiyu and Steve were talking, but Zhang Li started to complain in his heart.
Skillful!
What a coincidence!
Holy shit, the second treasure he detected today was the original signed copy of the Armistice Agreement of the American Civil War!
then,
After detecting this treasure, he even complained about how this piece of rubbish could have taken up his special treasure hunting spot during the critical strike period.
now,
Through Steve's explanation,
Saw the re-signed version of this on TV.
Zhang Li understood the value of his second treasure today.
Nothing else to say,
Take Steve's numbering of the treasures, for example.
You know, the information that this person just spent 30 billion US dollars to buy is numbered 193#!
The re-signed version of an agreement is numbered 45#.
If this is the original version, the number would have to be dozens earlier!
Thus,
The tension is even in guessing,
Grandma's original signed version of the armistice agreement of the Civil War is even worth tens of billions of dollars!
This is the most important war witness of the United States!
"Hold!"
"So this is the big head!"
Turn around,
Zhang Li didn't expect that
He, who sold the treasure from World War II, discovered that the biggest gain from the three explorations today was actually here!
It turns out that the second treasure that he looked down upon is the big deal!
"Thank you Mr. Steve for the exhibition treasure!"
“We really saw it!”
"I have one more question!"
After taking a deep breath and thanking Steve for his explanation, Zhang Li wanted to ask another question.
Nowadays,
The third piece of treasure information he detected was about a skull cap of a king from medieval Europe.
Since the treasure hunting information in Article 2,
Steve got results here.
You can also ask about the third point.
"Speaking!"
Steve, who received treasure numbered 193 from the first exhibition hall, nodded happily.
"Excuse me, are there any artifacts such as bones or corpses in your first exhibition hall?"
Zhang Li asked without hesitation.
"Have!"
Steve looked at Zhang Li in surprise and answered immediately.
"There is three!"
"One is a crystal skull from Mayan culture!"
"One is the mummy of a certain Egyptian pharaoh!"
Slowly, Steve gave Zhang Li two answers.
And when the third answer was given,
Zhang Li, Gong Feiyu, and Liu Yishan were stunned again: "The last one is the skull of Emperor Wanli of your Ming Dynasty..."
"Fuck!"
"Fuck me!"
Zhang Li just asked casually,
Neither he nor Gong Feiyu had expected that the skull of Emperor Wanli was actually collected by Steve.
It’s terrible!
I don't want to ask where this thing came from.
He could only be surprised by this.
And also through this,
He knew.
The skull cap of a medieval king in the third treasure hunt information is absolutely priceless!
The people of Daxia don't like to collect bones, corpses or the like.
Everyone is taboo about this thing.
But Westerners are different!
"Thanks Mr. Steve for broadening our horizons!"
"We should say goodbye!"
The last doubt in his mind was resolved, and Zhang Li stood up and said goodbye.
Hearing the tension,
Max also stood up immediately and hugged Steve tightly again.
then,
The group quickly left the villa and went to the small pier to board the exploration boat.
This wave,
Everyone was very satisfied.
For Steve, this time he was just giving face to his good friend Max.
He didn't expect that he would end up with an important cultural relic in the first exhibition hall.
For Max,
After Zhang Li sold the World War II treasure, his relationship with Zhang Li would inevitably be further improved.
He is also very happy.
As for tension,
His gains were even greater.
Not to mention the exact value of the treasures in items 2 and 3, he knew this news.
As for his physical gains, they far exceeded his expectations.
He received a 20% stake in Stryker Pharmaceuticals and a seat on the board of directors;
He also received Nvidia's stock worth 10 billion!
And
And the dog head that he is holding in his hand now!
All these gains,
It was totally beyond Zhang Ting's expectations!
"Mr. Zhang, where are you going next? I'll let Yishan take you there!"
On the survey ship,
Max had a scheduled meeting for work and could no longer accompany Zhang Li.
"You are busy. Thank you Mr. Ma for your guidance. I will visit you another day!"
Nodding, Zhang Li let Max get busy first.
then,
After thinking for a while, he decided to go to Stryker Pharmaceuticals first.
originally,
He has already made an appointment with Ultraman from OpenAI.
But now that Steve has given him shares in Stryker Pharmaceuticals.
Then I will go to this company first and free Lu Yashi and others. Then I won’t have to go to the pharmaceutical factory anymore…
I will be boarding a flight back home tomorrow afternoon.
It's time to let Lu Ya Shi, Vice President Huang and others get released.
Wow~
At Zhang Li's request, he was quickly sent ashore.
then,
Accompanied by Liu Yishan and Gong Feiyu, they headed towards the Stryker Pharmaceuticals Factory...
