Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Therefore, based on emotion and reason, I still recognize your contributions. "

Gao Qiang raised his glass excitedly and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your generosity, and I wish Mr. Zhao's business more and more prosperity!"

Zhao An had a drink with him, and then he said to Wang Bing, "Wang Bing has been with me for a long time, and this time it is counted among the participants, and the bonuses will be paid out at the same time."

After stopping Wang Bing's thanks, Zhao An continued: "To tell you the truth, there will be opportunities like this in the future.

As long as everyone is willing to continue to follow me, I will not forget your contributions.

In addition, I will tell you one more thing. After the vacation is over, I will go to the southern theater for a month of training.

Then, we will conduct a confrontation exercise with the special warfare brigade in the theater. I don't understand this, so Gao Qiang, the head of the regiment, will contact the opponent. "

Gao Qiang agreed: "Okay Mr. Zhao, I will make specific arrangements."

"There are also smelting equipment in the factory area," Zhao An said, "Let the soldiers get familiar with it as soon as possible to speed up the progress of smelting."

"It shouldn't be a big problem," Gao Qiang said, "We have already succeeded in smelting some copper this afternoon."

Zhao An nodded and said: "That's good, it's almost done, you can directly buy gold coins. There are too many gold coins, so I will keep [-] pieces that are in good condition and wear less. I will melt all the others."

Early the next morning, Zhao An and Wang Bing drove a car each, and picked up Ai Qingrou's group of six at the airport.

Sitting on the back seat of the Bentley Mulsanne, Ai Qingrou joked with a smile: "So, some of Mr. Zhao's treasures have been sold."

Zhao An said with a smile: "It's just a little gold bars and nuggets, which can't be seen by Mr. Ai."

Ai Qingju said: "It's a pity, the transaction volume of tens of billions, according to the commission we negotiated at the beginning, is several small goals for me."

Zhao An said: "I want to maximize my benefits, and the other party can give me a part of the tax reduction."

Ai Qingrou suddenly realized: "What you said is from above?"

Zhao An replied generously: "There is nothing we can't say, it is the Department of Precious Metal Resources Management under the Ministry of Industry."

Ai Qingrou exclaimed: "Look at Mr. Zhao's business, it's amazing."

Zhao An laughed and said, "It's that and that, it's just so-so. I'm in the mining industry now, so it's normal to have some connection with the Ministry of Industry."

Just kept chatting like this, and rushed to the smelting factory without saying much.

Zhao An got out of the car, led Ai Qingrou and the others into the workshop, and a few soldiers pulled back the canvas covering the corner to reveal the iron box inside.

Zhao An opened a box, which was full of gold coins, and the gold coins were shining like gold, dazzling people's eyes.

"Wow~ So many gold coins," Amy exclaimed, "That's too much!"

As Zhao An opened the boxes one by one, there were more than 20 boxes of gold coins alone.

Even Ai Qingrou, who has always been calm and calm, began to lose her composure, and then praised: "There are so many gold coins, Mr. Zhao, you are really, really great!"

Chapter 182

Jessica held a magnifying glass and carefully observed the gold coins in her hand,

After a while, another identification was changed.

Finally, she said in a positive tone: "The history of this batch of gold coins is at least 2500 years old.

In history, there is only one dynasty that fits around 2500 years, except for the Alexander dynasty 2300 years ago, the Solomon dynasty in Israel,"

Then he looked at Zhao An with a steady gaze and said, "According to the amount of gold coins, the former can be ruled out, so what you dug up is the number one treasure in the legend, King Solomon's treasure."

Clap clap, Zhao An applauded and praised: "I have to say that Jessica's professional ability is strong. With only one gold coin, I can tell that this is King Solomon's treasure."

Then Zhao An took out the standard crown and handed it to Jessica,

The eyes of all the beauties were attracted by this crown, which was covered with thorn patterns, and a huge ruby ​​was inlaid in the middle.

It looks very majestic and majestic. This is a symbol of Solomon's kingship 2700 years ago, and it is also a royal token worn by King Solomon for more than 40 years.

Jessica exclaimed in admiration: "This is the Crown of Solomon, second only to the Holy Crown of Thorns in the legend!

It's so beautiful and amazing, Zhao An, you are going to post it,

No, you have already sent it, you know what, just this crown, if it is sent to an auction in Europe,

Those Jews, I don't know how much they will spend, to buy it back. "

Zhao An shook his head and said, "Everything else is easy to say, this crown is not for sale!"

"Not for sale?"

The beauties exclaimed.

Jessica also hurriedly said: "Why don't you sell it? If you take this crown out, it will cost at least a billion or hundreds of millions, or Euros, US dollars!"

Zhao An shook his head and said, "I plan to build a museum by myself to collect these rare treasures.

And this crown, throwing it out will cause an uproar,

So you have to keep a good secret for me, gold coins and accessories, handicrafts are fine,

It has been circulated since ancient times, but this crown is not good, it is too eye-catching. "

Depressed, Jessica shoved the crown back into Zhao An's hand, and muttered, "If you don't sell it, don't sell it, who cares!"

Amy on the side rushed over and said: "You have seen it, of course it is not rare, I haven't seen it yet."

As he spoke, he began to observe carefully, and then, not enjoying himself, he put it on his head and asked An Qi, "Does it look good? Treasure!"

An Qi smiled and said nothing, twisted the crown on her head, and put it on for her,

As a result, Amy's head was too small, and her hair was straight like a shawl. The crown slid down her head and got stuck on the bridge of her nose and ears.

Bobby laughed and said, "What's this called? You're called the real version of Monkey King!"

Annoyed, Amy quickly took off the crown, put it on Bobby's head on tiptoe, and said, "You are crowned with milk cow!"

Bobby's head fit just right, with his hips crossed, he said to Amy arrogantly: "How about it, it didn't fall off, if it weren't for your big ears, it would fall off and get stuck on your neck, and you can't even take it off."

Amy said angrily: "Your ears are big, but your chest is the biggest!"

The pretty Shanshan smiled and said, "Amy, don't be jealous. That thing is born and it's hard to change the day after tomorrow. Why don't our sisters crowdfund some money and make you a silicone one."

Angrily, Amy threw herself into her arms and tickled her.

The crown was passed around by them, and finally it was put on Ai Qingrou's head,

Ai Qing's soft and beautiful face, coupled with this majestic and domineering crown, instantly transformed her temperament into that of a domineering queen, making people wish she could immediately bow her head and bow down.

Ai Qingrou smiled softly, took off the crown, put it back in Zhao An's hand, and said, "Mr. Zhao has a reason for not selling it. This crown has too obvious features, and it may cause some unnecessary troubles."

As he spoke, he walked towards the gold coin box, grabbed a handful of gold coins and weighed them: "And these gold coins,

We don’t need to sell all of them, it’s worthless if there are too many, only a thousand pieces at most can maximize its value,

My plan is to group them together for auction, 100 pieces as a group, 10 places, the rarer the chance to get, the higher the price. "

Zhao An took it seriously and said, "I thought the same way. Originally, I planned to keep [-] pieces, but it doesn't matter. I can put the rest in my private museum."

"That's awesome!" Amy said: "Mr. Zhao, when we first met, you sold gold ore, and now it's getting better and better, and gold has started to be sold by the ton."

Zhao An said with a chuckle: "It's average, the third in the world. Compared with those real wealthy families, my background is still far behind, so it's better for me to keep a low profile."

Then Zhao An opened the other boxes, called a few soldiers, and took out all the gold ornaments and gold handicrafts inside, and put them all over the place.

Jessica started to get busy, appraised and valued each gold product, and the other four beauties were responsible for recording, numbering and putting them back in the tin box.

Zhao An yelled: "Don't put them all back in the box. If you see something of good value and uniqueness, just keep it for me. It will be good as a family heirloom in the future."

Ai Qingrou said with a smile: "Oh, don't worry about this, Amy and the others, they are measured."

Zhao An said with a smile: "I'll just say, at least, you have to leave one for me, one or two hundred pieces."

Amy walked away and gave him an OK gesture.

A few secretaries were left to work, while Ai Qingrou took Zhao An aside to chat and said, "Thank you for trusting me so much, instead of handing over to the bigger Sotheby's and Christie's."

Zhao An said: "There is no way, these treasures have extraordinary origins and are of great importance, I don't worry about letting foreign auction houses handle them.

And my suggestion to you is to try to arrange rich people in the country to come to participate in the auction. "

Ai Qingrou nodded and said: "I know, you have to trust my network of contacts to be able to handle and afford the weight of this batch of treasures."

Zhao An nodded and said, "Then I can rest assured."

Then he asked Ai Qingju again: "How do I get a yacht driver's license? My yacht will be parked by the pier when it comes back, and it won't be a problem to wait for it to rust!"

Ai Qingrou smiled and said: "This is simple, you can find a special examination institution, sign up for the examination,

You can also join clubs like yacht clubs, free training,

If you are fast, you can get a yacht driver's license in about a month. "

Zhao An said: "That's okay, I have to seriously take the exam another day, and then I will travel around the world in a yacht, and I think it will be wonderful."

Ai Qingrou complained quietly: "You are wonderful, you have both money and sex, and your life is perfect, unlike me, whose family is broken and people are dead, wandering around."

Zhao An coughed lightly and said, "Well, you guys are busy first, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the food is doing."

After asking a few soldiers to help Amy and the others carry things, Zhao An left the workshop.

Go to the kitchen and ask the logistics soldiers to add a few small stoves. Ai Qingrou and the others don't pay much attention to these things, but they can't be too negligent, right?

As a result, the inventory has been counted all morning, and the inventory has not yet been completed. It is mainly the identification work.

It all fell on Jessica alone, and the workload of one or two thousand gold products was not so easy to complete.

Chapter 183

Moreover, the identification and naming of ornaments and handicrafts is a complicated work.

For example, a pure gold vase must meet the principle that the longer the name, the more valuable it is, and it must also explain the name, the age and origin of the vase, and the shape of the vessel.

So the name of this vase is called 'Macedonian Alexander Dynasty court special, hollow pure gold narrow mouth vase. '

Although it is a treasure of the Solomon Dynasty, Zhao An said, to confuse the public,

So Jessica played a little trick in naming it, deliberately making it belong to the Alexander dynasty in terms of age.

Moreover, in terms of achievements, the Alexander Empire is much better than the Solomon Dynasty. Alexander II lived for more than 30 years, and the legend he created was at least a few blocks away from Solomon.

Just the second in history, the empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, and the three continents, in terms of force, is much stronger than Solomon.

And with such a territory, there are only a few empires that span the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, the Persian Empire before it, and the Roman Empire after it.

Therefore, compared with domestic rich people, it may be more recognized that it is said to be an item of the Alexander Dynasty. The Solomon Dynasty only has a higher degree of recognition among the Jewish forces. After all, it was the first dynasty they established.

The previous civilizations were clan and tribal civilizations, so King Solomon was also called the King of Wisdom, but after his death, the dynasty split and was finally destroyed by Macedonia, and the tribe was also ruled by Macedonia.

Therefore, there is a part of cultural integration, so it is not a big problem to say that this batch of gold products belonged to the Alexander Dynasty.

After lunch at the smelting plant, Jessica continued the work of identification and classification non-stop.

It took another three hours to finally complete all of them. Except for the 218 pieces that Zhao An asked to leave,

A total of 1203 pieces of gold jewelry were counted, including 975 pieces of pure gold jewelry, 228 pieces of jewelry inlaid with various gemstones, and 1088 pieces of gold handicrafts.

All numbers were packed and packed into tin boxes.

Looking at these boxes, Zhao An said to Ai Qingju: "How long will it take to prepare for this auction?"

Ai Qingrou thought for a while, and said: "It should be very soon, more than 20 days, because we have to finish the auction before Sotheby's and Christie's domestic autumn auctions.

Otherwise, when they finish the auction, we have nothing to do. "

Zhao An nodded and said, "I don't worry about your work. If there is anything that needs my cooperation, just ask, and I will fully cooperate."

Ai Qingrou said with a smile: "There really are!"

Zhao An said: "You're welcome, just say it."

"I think you have a strong army here," Ai Qingrou said, "Why don't you second a few, and the security personnel will help me."

Zhao An frowned. He planned to use these people as smelters, but he was worried about using other people.

He said: "Didn't you say earlier, I originally had more than 400 people here, but I just let them go on vacation, and now there are only about a hundred people here.

I have to take turns guarding this place, and I have to act as a smelting worker to help me smelt the extra gold coins. "

Ai Qingrou let out an ah, bowed her head and said: "Forget it, I will contact an escort company to help transport these treasures back to Shencheng."

Zhao An felt a little uneasy, so he said, "How about this, I will send 20 people here to help escort them over, and let them come back after the work is over, that's okay."
