Chapter: 5171
With that said, Ye Chen looked at Zhou Liangyun and said, "Uncle Zhou, I still have some questions that I would like you to answer for me."
Zhou Liangyun said hurriedly: "Master, just say it."
Ye Chen quickly asked: "I also want to know how my father came into contact with the "Nine Mysterious Sutra Preface" and the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Sutra"? In addition, how did my father get involved with the Po Qing Society?"
Zhou Liangyun sighed: "Your father has a similar experience to you. His process of obtaining the "Nine Mysterious Sutra Preface" is very similar to your process of obtaining the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Sutra"."
Ye Chen thought of some information that his uncle once said and asked in surprise: "Did my father also get the "Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra" from an antique?"
"Yes." Zhou Liangyun nodded heavily.
Ye Chen quickly asked: "What exactly happened?"
Zhou Liangyun said: "You got the "Nine Mysterious Scriptures" because your father entrusted me to bring the "Nine Mysterious Scriptures" to you, but your father got the "Nine Mysterious Scriptures Preface" completely by accident."
As he spoke, he explained in detail: "Back then, your father, like me, also liked to study the Book of Changes and all kinds of Chinese antiques, so he often came to the store in Queens to find me, and we often studied some antiques together; "
"At that time, I hadn't started to recover cultural relics lost overseas for China. I was just doing antique business. However, your father had been doing this, so I was influenced by him later and started working with him to help those precious cultural relics. Chinese cultural relics return to China;�
"Because of our common hobbies and common ambitions, your father and I became very good friends. During that time, our family's antique shop encountered a lot of troubles one after another and was plotted by many people. It was all thanks to your father's help. He is the benefactor of our whole family."
Speaking of this, Zhou Liangyun sighed, recalled for a moment, and said: "One day more than 20 years ago, a down-and-out British aristocrat came to our store in London. Because he encountered a major change, his family had family members. Many antiques and cultural relics are in urgent need of cash, and a large part of them come from China. He knew that our family is relatively professional in Chinese antiques, so he approached us and hoped to pack up and sell all the Chinese cultural relics at home to us; "
"At that time, I flew to London specifically to participate in the evaluation. There were a total of 487 Chinese cultural relics in the house of the down-and-out nobleman, and there were indeed many good ones among them. There were more than a dozen pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties alone. In addition, there are two very precious pastel pieces, and there are countless other official kiln porcelains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties;"
"In the antique market, blue and white porcelain and pastel porcelain are the ceiling of porcelain, and the price has always been very high. The official kiln is also synonymous with quality and high price, and the price is also very strong;"
"In addition, there are several palace collections that have been clearly recorded by the Qing court, and the prices are even higher;"
"For such a large number of ceiling-level cultural relics, even if it is packaged at a discounted price, the lowest price quoted by the other party more than 20 years ago reached 200 million US dollars;"
"Although our family's business scale was relatively large back then, the antique industry was a very capital-intensive project after all. The family property may have been worth over a billion or even billions of dollars, but a large part of it was from around the world. It�s really hard to spend 200 million U.S. dollars on inventory in stores everywhere;�
"Furthermore, in the antique business, you can't liquidate inventory too quickly. The more inventory you have, the more calm you have to be;"
"Because the antique industry, like the stock market, is most afraid of concentrated selling and smashing the market. I can buy ten Yuan blue and white porcelain from all over the world in one go. The more I buy, the higher the price of blue and white porcelain on the market, but I You must not sell ten Yuan blue and white flowers at once, otherwise other collectors of Yuan blue and white flowers may panic and then sell off, smashing the price of Yuan blue and white flowers to the ground.�
"So, even if we wanted to sell things to raise funds, it was not realistic at that time. Otherwise, the profit from this order might be lost invisibly due to our own behavior of smashing the market. In addition, the mortgage loan period is also relatively long. , so I almost couldn�t place the order at that time;�
"At that time, I knew that your father was also very interested in antiques, so I wanted to get him into a partnership. Firstly, it could solve the problem of funds on hand for me, and secondly, we could make some money together, because I had estimated at that time that the antiques would If we bring it in and then bring it back to Hong Kong Island and auction it to domestic collectors one after another, there will be absolutely no problem in clearing it out and recovering US$350 million in two years.�
"So, I propose that your father and I each contribute half of the capital, and then we share the profits in half. But what your father means is that he can contribute 100 million U.S. dollars, but he hopes that I can divide the batch of antiques into two, and my family's I will handle half of it myself, and the other half, he wants to donate back to China through the Chinese Embassy in the United States;"
"I really admired his decision at the time, so after we jointly acquired this batch of antiques, I secretly transported them to New York, and then asked him to come and select them personally;"
"My idea at that time was that no matter what your father chose and how much it was worth, as long as he chose it, he would take it and hand it over to the embassy. Even if our Zhou family ends up losing money, I would accept this deal." JrNovels.com
