Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong
Chapter 53 Where did you get it?
Li Jingrong nodded and said, "That's right. Actually, the German army hid the Amber Palace after dismantling it. Now I have found it. These 27 boxes contain all the contents of the Amber Palace."
"As long as all these things are assembled, the Amber Room can be restored to its original appearance."
"And I've had them inspected by experts, and they're all genuine. How much do you think they'd be worth if they were auctioned?"
Even Song Qiulu, who had seen many antiques and treasures, was shocked.
She murmured softly, "It's priceless. It's hard to put a price on it."
The Amber Room was a gift from the King of Prussia to Peter the Great in the 17th century after Prussia and the Tsar formed an alliance. It was a priceless item at the time.
Since 1717, the Amber Palace has become a landmark building in St. Petersburg and the Tsar’s favorite place.
In the 21st century, one can imagine how much this Tsar’s favorite thing would be worth.
Especially for the polar bear oligarchs, they have too much money to spend.
The Amber Palace is such a valuable item that its appearance will surely shock the polar bears and even the wealthy people in the Western world.
Of course, Li Jingrong did not get this thing from the Third Reich.
The Third Reich had not yet moved eastward to start a war, so how could this thing exist?
Li Jingrong exchanged this thing for a piece of intelligence and 50,000 tons of natural rubber.
The intelligence was about some of the Third Reich's arrangements on the border.
He did this to pit two tigers against each other. The more brutal the fight, the better his arms sales would be. Anyway, this would not lead to a change in the overall direction.
Natural rubber may not be valuable in Southeast Asia, but it is extremely precious to the trapped polar bears.
You have to know that we are in the midst of a world war and all countries need a lot of rubber.
The Allied camp controlled almost all rubber producing areas.
Not to mention polar bears, even if the Third Reich occupied most of Europe, natural rubber would still be a hurdle that it could not overcome.
From this we can see how great the demand for rubber is in these two countries.
It was precisely because of this that Li Jingrong was able to exchange such a precious treasure from the polar bear for just 50,000 tons of natural rubber and a piece of information.
After all, if they were asked to produce these 50,000 tons of rubber by themselves, the cost would be unimaginable.
For Big Beard, the value of this thing is well worth it to be able to exchange it for so much rubber.
In modern times, the price of natural rubber in bulk transactions is 11,000 tons, which is only 500 million yuan.
However, these 500 million yuan can earn back several times or even more than ten times the profit.
It's a win-win deal for both parties.
"Are you really going to sell it?"
Song Qiulu looked at Li Jingrong with bright eyes and asked.
Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Of course. Why should we keep this thing? This thing can make us famous in the antique industry."
Song Qiulu thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, we have to rush to Xiangdao in advance."
Li Jingrong patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there's one more thing."
He walked to a platform, took down a long box, and opened it in front of Song Qiulu.
"Is this the tip of a gun?"
That’s right, what’s contained in this box is a gun head, but this gun head is not simple.
"Don't underestimate this spear head. Let me tell you a Western myth."
"According to the Bible, when Jesus was crucified, a centurion pierced his side with a spear."
"The centurion's name is Longinus."
"Then drops of Jesus' blood fell into Longinus' eyes, and he was instantly transformed. He became a monk and gained the ability to perform miracles."
"He is also considered a saint in the Bible and is called Saint Longinus."
"And this spear head is also known as the Spear of Longinus."
"In 1938, the gun head was taken to the Third Reich by the Nazis and then moved to the Kaiserdom. With the death of the mustache, the gun head disappeared."
Looking at Li Jingrong talking and introducing with a smile on his face, Song Qiulu's shock was beyond words.
Although she doesn't understand Western mythology and history.
But Jesus and St. Longinus had heard of it.
This Spear of Longinus is actually related to these two people, which shows how precious it is. It is another priceless treasure.
Song Qiulu was shocked and asked, "Where did you get this?"
Li Jingrong said with a smile: "We have found a treasure trove hidden by the Nazis, and we are still excavating it..."
"We found these two things at a deep place, and there are many more behind them."
"hiss."
Song Qiulu couldn't help but take a breath.
These two items alone are priceless. This is not just a treasure trove, it is a mountain of gold, made of pure gold.
So the two of them took these things to Christie's auction house in Hong Kong overnight.
In order to ensure the safety of the things, we chartered a special plane.
As one of the largest auction houses in the world, Christie's annual spring auction attracts many wealthy people.
Among them, antiques are the top priority of the spring auction.
Because Deep Blue Antiques Shop put some rare items up for auction this time, it attracted quite a few big shots.
For these wealthy people, buying antiques is a sure-win investment.
Based on the ten-year return on investment.
The return on investment for real estate is only 4.5%, and the return on investment for stocks is only 13%.
The return on investment for antiques is as high as 24%.
This is also the real reason why bigwigs are keen on spending huge sums of money to buy antiques.
Not only can it be used for collection and showing off, but it is also a sure win, what a good deal.
Shenlan deposited several antique treasures at Christie's, and naturally became a guest of honor at Christie's.
When Song Qiulu and Li Jingrong arrived in Hong Kong, a special convoy was sent to greet them, accompanied by Li Jingrong's guard team in this time and space.
Soon after, the head of Christie's auction house and a team of appraisers, along with Li Jingrong and Song Qiulu, hurriedly left the company.
The things Li Jingrong brought this time were placed in a highly secure safe.
The general manager of Christie's auction house, a British man who has lived in Hong Kong for many years, whose Chinese name is Li Qide, entered the vault and asked in fluent Cantonese, "Where are the things? Where are the things?"
Li Jingrong pointed to a pile of large boxes inside and a small box on the table and said, "The things are all here, but before you identify them, you must sign this agreement."
The agreement is also very simple. If any damage is caused during the appraisal process, Christie's auction house will be responsible to the end.
Otherwise, Li Jingrong would never be willing to let a group of people identify these priceless treasures.
