Chapter 362: The Woman and the Gold Master

Like Delis, Vilia has the same feeling. For her, her biggest competitor is not the rich people who can make money, but the one who can't make money and only spend money. But she has nothing to do with it. After all, that woman is rich and not weaker than her. Even her ability to spend money is better than her.

Now she can only do one thing, try to collect antiques and prepare for the auction. However, she believes that there should be few opportunities to compete with that crazy woman, because Qin Xuebing would kill a large number of monsters every time he hunts for treasure, and the monster corpses would probably not be missing.

Of course, she also knew one thing. No matter how many monsters there were, they could not resist so many people wanting it. There would definitely be a situation where there were too many monks and fewer meats at the auction. Otherwise, there would be no need to hold an auction, and it would be even more straightforward to trade in private. She believed that if you could not take down a few more monster corpses at the beginning of the auction, the competition would be extremely fierce in the late stage of the auction.

However, if Villa and Dilis knew about another woman, they would probably not feel willing to spend money. In front of that woman, they were not much different from Grandet.

This woman is named Lu Fei, a beautiful woman who has just passed forty but always maintains her 27 or eight appearance. Lu Fei is a woman who knows life very well. She is not vain and does not like to spend money randomly. Pingyueli's life is centered on her husband.

But this time she was planning to show off her skills at the auction and let others see her ability to spend money. In fact, Lu Fei was helpless and was completely forced to spend money randomly.

She loved her husband very much, started a business with her husband, and went through the whole process of the company growing up from childhood. But she unexpectedly discovered that her husband actually carried her to raise women outside. The reason was even more sad. Because she made too much money and she couldn't spend money, she just raised women outside to spend money.

Regardless of whether this reason is true or not, Lu Fei must be a woman who can spend money. If it is true, it can win back the husband's heart. If it is false, then spending the money is better than leaving it to her husband to raise a wild woman.

Lu Fei prepared 500 million yuan and asked a lot of connections to replace all 500 million yuan with antiques. Her purpose is very simple, which is to spend 500 million yuan, even if the 500 million yuan can only buy a monster corpse.

From this point of view, Lu Fei is better than Dilis and Vilia. Dilis and Vilia will consider the value and how many antiques to buy, while Lu Fei has only one purpose, to smash 500 million yuan, like throwing it into water.

If Delis and Vilia knew what this woman was thinking, they would definitely avoid this woman with great care and never bid for this woman.

"It just happened to exchange these things for monster corpses!" Latte pointed at a large pile of utensils, all of which were African antiques. Qin Xuebing did not say that he had to ask for Chinese antiques.

Latte is an African gold miner and has a great influence in Africa. These antiques were undoubtedly dug up to a ruin during the mining process. Naturally, he would not donate these things to exchange for the corpses of his favorite monsters.

African culture cannot be underestimated. Africa is a continent in the history of human evolution from ancient apes to forest apes, Rama apes, "fully formed people" - capable people, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens, and until modern humans. Anthropologists discovered the earliest fossils of "fully formed people" in Africa. These discoveries led anthropologists, including Darwin, the founder of evolution, to the conclusion that Africa is the birthplace of mankind.

Archaeological materials prove that people of all ethnic groups in Africa created and developed brilliant ancient civilizations very early. In ancient times, when the hometown of the Western Ming Cultivator was still in the stage of glacier sealing, a boiling life appeared on the African continent. At that time, the Nile River Basin was still unsuitable for living, but now the deserted Sahara Desert is a forest and grassland with rivers. About 10,000 years ago, the climate in North Africa had undergone draught and turned into a desert.

The Nile River Basin is one of the cradles of ancient civilizations in the world. Egypt, in the lower reaches of the Nile River, is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. As early as 5,000 BC, Egypt developed astronomy very early. As early as 4241 BC, the Egyptians formulated a very accurate earliest solar calendar for humans. The solar calendar is 365 days a year, divided into three seasons, one season is 4 months, 30 days a month, and 5 more days in the last month are added as religious holidays. The error of it each year is only about one-quarter of the day. Ancient Egypt created hieroglyphs in the 35th century BC, and in the 19th century BC, we knew how to calculate the side length of a square and the volume of the frusto-angle pyramid. Around the 21st century BC, the Egyptians were able to determine the pi to be almost accurately 3?16.

Ancient Egypt has also made great achievements in art such as architecture, sculpture and painting. To this day, the magnificent pyramids and Sphinxes standing tall near Cairo on the Nile are masterpieces of ancient Egypt around the 27th century BC; they are miracles in the history of human architecture and an immortal monument to the outstanding wisdom and hard work of the working people of ancient Egypt.

In the middle of the Nile River, the Kushi Empire emerged in the 16th century BC. It had developed agriculture, iron smelting and textile industries, and was one of the richest and most prosperous countries in the world in ancient times. Its capital, Meloe, is the largest iron smelting center south of the Mediterranean and is called "Birmingham of ancient Africa" ​​by Western archaeologists.

All of these can show that African culture has an extremely brilliant page. African cultural relics are also extremely popular in the antique market, especially ancient Egyptian cultural relics, which have set records many times in the history of world auctions.

Moreover, African culture and Chinese culture have strong communication, which can be said to be a long history. As early as the second century BC, the Han Dynasty and Africa began to understand each other and indirectly exchange their own specialties and treasures. It is said that the imperial robes worn by Egyptian Queen Cleopatra were woven from Chinese silk in the first century BC. Since Zhang Qian opened up the "Silk Road" in the Western Regions, China's gold and silk have been sold to the southern coast of the Mediterranean.

The Tang Dynasty not only began to formally interact directly with the Arab Empire that ruled northern Africa at that time, but some Chinese had already stepped on African lands south of the sub-Saharan desert. The images of African blacks also began to appear in the culture and art of the Tang Dynasty. The African blacks written by literati and poets at that time were all skilled, brave, witty and chivalrous people, and even Dunhuang murals also depicted the images of African blacks. In the Tang Dynasty, there were more material exchanges with northern Africa and the east coast of Africa. The blue and white porcelain and coins of the Tang Dynasty were discovered in Egypt, Kenya, Zanzibar and other places.

The development of the navigation industry in the Song Dynasty further developed the exchange of personnel and materials in Central Africa. China's products not only appeared in the northern and eastern coasts of Africa, but also went deep into inland areas such as Zimbabwe. In the Song Dynasty, "Zhufan Zhi" and "Lingwai Dai Answers" and other books recording African customs and geography.

The direct interactions between the Yuan Dynasty and Africa continued to increase. Emperor Shizu of Yuan once sent envoys to Madagascar to "interview strange stories", and the famous tourist Wang Dayuan also went to Zanzibar. One of the four major travelers in the world in the Middle Ages, the Moroccan Batuta also visited many southern cities in China. The Yuan Dynasty geographer Zhu Siben mapped the African continent into a southward triangle on the map as early as the 14th century, while the Europeans still had unclear direction of the African continent by the beginning of the 15th century. The late British scientist Joseph Needham praised Zhu Siben's African map as an "outstanding achievement."

The Ming Dynasty was the most important period in the history of ancient Sino-Africa exchanges, and friendly relations had developed to the mutual visits of official representatives of both sides. Zheng He, a famous navigator in the Ming Dynasty, led a fleet of dozens of large ships several times, carrying a large number of gold, silver, satin and porcelain treasure money, representing China to visit the East African ports in Somalia and Kenya. A village called "Zheng Hetun" in northern Somalia was named to commemorate Zheng He's visit.

Latte doesn't like antiques and is not interested in learning about antiques. But if he brought these things to the auction, Qin Xuebing would be extremely welcome and even shocked. Because many of these cultural relics were Chinese antiques, which were spread to Africa in the early days of China.
