Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong
Chapter 54: The various forces determined to win
After signing the contract, Li Qide couldn't wait to go to the desktop box.
Then he turned to Li Jingrong and asked, "Mr. Li? Can we take a look at it now?"
Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Of course, now you can see the true appearance of the Spear of Longnukis."
After getting permission, Li Qide, a devout believer, prayed and respectfully opened the box.
When the box was opened, everyone's attention was drawn to the inconspicuous gun head.
There is a holster made of gold in the middle of the gun head.
However, when he saw the welding points on the Spear of Longnukis, Li Qide was suddenly confused.
However, when an old white man saw it, his pupils sparkled and excitement appeared on his face.
"Yes, that's it, that's it."
"The Spear of Longnokis was broken into three pieces. Rumor has it that the three fragments were taken away by three kings and reforged into three new Spears of Longnokis."
"But in fact, this is not the case. The three fragments have been restored and transformed into a complete Spear of Longinus, which is now stored in St. Peter's Basilica."
"After the Third Reich conquered the European continent, the Holy Lance was taken to St. Catherine's Church. After the Allies won the war, the Holy Lance disappeared."
"In appearance, it is completely consistent, but we still need to check whether it is real."
After hearing this, Li Qide's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "Then you can check it."
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel excited, hoping that this holy spear was real.
For Christianity, this holy spear is actually equivalent to the imperial seal of China.
Only by obtaining it can one be considered to have obtained orthodoxy and God's permission.
Of course, in modern society, its significance is no longer so important, but its value is still immeasurable.
Although the significance is not that great, the church is still rich.
As long as it can be proven that it is the real Spear of Longnokis, there will definitely be many people willing to pay a huge price to obtain it.
Li Qide is very clear about this.
This will also bring huge profits to Christie's auction house.
This is what he cares about most.
"Mr. Li, you said there's another treasure, but there are so many boxes here. Which box is it in?"
Li Jingrong pointed at the pile of boxes and said, "These boxes contain the components of this treasure. It's called the Amber Palace. Have you heard of it?"
Li Qide thought for a while, and suddenly a piece of information appeared in his mind.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in shock, "Amber Palace? Is it the Amber Palace that the King of Prussia presented to Peter the Great in 1717?"
"But the Amber Room was demolished by the Nazis, and then..."
Suddenly he remembered that the Spear of Longnukis was also taken away by the Nazis during World War II.
Doesn’t this mean that the Amber Palace is very credible?
Li Qide immediately became excited. This was also a priceless treasure.
Although the price is still unknown, it will definitely be more expensive than the symbolic Lance of Longnokis.
Li Qide suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and said to the appraisal team beside him: "I want to know the result."
"Yes."
Then the group started to move.
Because the things here are too valuable, he felt uneasy if he didn't keep an eye on Li Jingrong personally, so he had no intention of leaving at all.
The identification of antiques is very rigorous and time-consuming.
Especially the parts of the Amber Palace need to be identified one by one.
After waiting for more than five hours, the identification team came to a conclusion.
"These two items have been subjected to various authentication methods, and all traces match. We can confirm that they are authentic."
Li Qide could no longer contain his excitement and looked at Li Jingrong and said, "Mr. Li, you've made a fortune. I'll go back and start promoting them. I promise that at Christie's, you can maximize their value."
Song Qiulu then said, "Manager Li Qide, now that we've proven they're all true, can we discuss the commission rate?"
After hearing Song Qiulu's words, Li Qide's face froze.
"Of course we can talk."
Christie's auction house charges a 1200% commission if the auction items exceed HK$12 million.
And these two things obviously exceed this value.
If calculated based on $1200 million, this would be $ million. Moreover, if these two things were added together, it would definitely exceed $ billion.
This explains why Li Qide was so excited.
However, in Li Jingrong's opinion, the commission rate was too high. He expected a commission of 5%.
As for how to talk about it, that depends on my aunt's methods.
After comparing prices at different auction houses, if Christie's refused to give in to 5%, then Li Jingrong would go to Sotheby's auction house.
Sotheby's auction house would not refuse these two treasures.
The negotiations lasted for more than two hours, and in the end Li Qide had no choice but to ask the board of directors for instructions with a grim expression.
When he came back, he had a smile on his face.
"Ms. Song, our board of directors has agreed to a commission rate of 6%. It really can't be any lower."
Although it is 5% more than the expected 1%, it is already pretty good.
So the two sides reached a cooperation.
The news was released on the official website of Christie’s auction house that day.
This spring auction features two new closing lots.
It is the Spear of Longnokis and all the parts of the Amber Room that were rumored to have been destroyed in the war.
Christie's is one of the largest auction houses in the world.
It is impossible for fakes to appear among their auction items.
When this news came out, it quickly spread among the world's wealthy circles.
This includes the Pope.
"At all costs, get the Holy Spear. It must belong to us."
Suddenly, the number of private jet flights to Hong Kong increased dramatically, and all the wealthy people who were interested in them flocked to Hong Kong.
Everyone knows that a feast of money will be presented at Christie's auction house.
For these two items, many bigwigs would fight to the death.
After about five days of fermentation, Christie's spring auction officially began.
However, with the Lance of Longnokis and the Amber Palace gems in front, the rest of the items seemed a little dim.
But not everyone can afford these two things.
Both the Spear of Longnokis and the Amber Room are priceless treasures. Without billions of dollars, you have no chance of getting them.
Li Jingrong and Song Qiulu were also sitting in the hall, watching everyone fighting over each item.
The Spring Auction is a grand event, and it is not easy for anyone to make it to the auction table.
So naturally there are more people competing for it.
The few treasures Shenlan brought out this time were sold at a good price and caused quite a stir at the scene.
For example, the Nine Dragon Sword.
This is one of Emperor Qianlong's favorite items. After being passed through many channels, it finally came into the hands of Boss Dai.
However, after Boss Dai crashed, it was rumored that this treasure was also destroyed. Unexpectedly, it reappeared in the world.
Many wealthy people in the country come here for it.
In the end, the sword was sold for more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is also the most valuable item in this auction.
However, everyone knows that this is just an appetizer, and the real finale is the last two items.
As the hammer fell, the most exciting part finally arrived.
Many bigwigs present began to get restless.
Among them are many real bigwigs.
For example, the royal family of a wealthy country is one of them.
As the richest royal family in the world, their king is determined to obtain the Amber Room.
However, the polar bear oligarchs are also determined to get this thing.
The Amber Palace has a very special meaning for polar bears, and this treasure must never be allowed to leak abroad.
This is just like the significance of the twelve zodiac signs to flower growers.
However, the second to last thing to appear was not the Amber Palace, but the Spear of Longnokis.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will be auctioning a very special item. It is the real Spear of Longnukis."
"We have received confirmation from the Church that this object is the true Lance of Longnookis, and it has been fully restored."
"The Lance of Longunukhis in the Hofburg Museum, the Augustinian Church and Great Glastonbury Abbey are all replicas of it."
"Next, let us show you the true appearance of the Holy Spear, the Spear of Longnokis."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on the box on the big screen.
When he saw him, the Pope's envoy Willicks' pupils flashed with excitement and his eyes were fixed on it.
This sacred object had been lost for decades, and they originally thought it had been destroyed in the war.
I didn't expect to see it here today.
It's really abominable that the holy object was brought to the auction house. This is a complete desecration of the holy object.
In addition to Wilkes, there are many churches from other countries who are determined to obtain this item.
As the saying goes, there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.
What’s more, Christianity is the largest church in the West.
After all, internal strife is human nature, and every country wants to control the church.
With the evolution of history, Christianity has also been divided into three major denominations, Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
After all, no country wants a pope to have more influence than their own words.
So it's not just the Pope who wants to get the Spear of Longnukis.
There is also the British Church. Nearly 60% of the population in Britain are Christians, and their financial power is undoubtedly strong.
In addition, there is the American Catholic Church, which also has rich people.
Polar bears are no less Orthodox than humans.
The winner this time will eventually be among these few people. Of course, there are also many churches from other countries, and a dark horse may emerge.
Li Jingrong watched the show calmly and chatted with Song Qiulu from time to time.
