Chapter 284 This is a sad and angry thing(1/2)
Zhu Yu left with Ran Jie and others, and Zhan Qun was once again put into the space.
From Zhu Yu's point of view, it would take Tauris a few months to get things done, right?
It will take at least half a month, otherwise, it is very likely that you are perfunctory.
In fact, when Zhu Yu raised such high conditions, he also knew that Taurisi would not be able to take out the Dunhuang secret scrolls stored in the British Museum.
Although Zhu Yu knew that Huang Kan was collecting annotations on the Analects of Confucius during the Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties, after all, the commonly used annotations on the Analects of Confucius in China were those of the later He Yan, which was many years later.
But it is impossible to get them back. It is impossible for the British Museum to take these things out, and it is impossible for Tauris to have the ability to retrieve these things.
But Zhu Yu proposed a difficult goal with the purpose of asking Tauris to work hard. Maybe there will be any surprises?
If you take it from above, you will get it from within; if you take it from there, you will get it from below; if you take it from below, you will get nothing.
Zhu Yu did the opposite, setting the highest goal for Tauris, and he would be satisfied if he could get something above average.
However, just to be on the safe side, he contacted Smith and told him that Tauris planned to purchase Chinese cultural relics worth one billion US dollars in exchange for the golden war dress.
If the customer he contacted does not have this ability, then forget it.
Of course, as long as it is a Chinese cultural relic, you can take it and look at it, and Zhu Yu can judge it himself.
Smith knew as soon as he heard that the matter might not work. He agreed to answer the question, but there was no guarantee that the other party would agree.
Zhu Yu had no idea about this. It was unique in the world of things, so he was not afraid of not finding a buyer.
Of course, he was not the only one who thought so, Taurus also thought so.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Tauris called his assistant on the same day and asked his assistant to search all over the world for sale. Any price within a few hundred million US dollars can be negotiated!
Of course, he would not give Zhu Yu a lot of catalogs to choose from. Although Tao Ruisi could see that Zhu Yu had the kind of thinking of a low-level commoner, he was not easy to do.
Of course, it is not realistic for a person to change from an ordinary person's thinking to that of a super rich person in half a year.
There are too many people who get rich overnight, but even if you look at their behavior three to five years later, they are still quite naive.
This week, while Zhu Yu was dating Joanna normally, he received seven calls from people interested in purchasing the golden dress.
However, the bids were all below US$100 million. Another one wanted to fool Zhu Yu, thinking that he was a newbie, and quoted US$500,000.
What made Zhu Yu dumbfounded the most was that there was a man who claimed to be the original owner of the golden war dress and asked Zhu Yu to hand it over obediently or else his whole family would be killed.
Then Zhu Yu pretended to be a sheep and agreed, and when he took Ran Jie and the others to the meeting, he found out that it was a gangster in New York City who came up with the idea after accidentally knowing about this incident.
He was beaten violently by Ran Jie and the other two men very cleanly.
A week later, Tauris called Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, there is a batch of bronzes in London now. Do you have time to take a look? It would be bad luck for those things to go this way."
In fact, Tauris didn't know if Zhu Yu could exchange these items for sure. If he was sure, it would be fine. If he was not sure, he would have to look for them again. So he didn't plan to ship them to New York yet.
"Do you have any photos?" Zhu Yu didn't want to make this trip in vain.
"My assistant will send you a photo later." Tao Ruisi didn't think he would have any interactions with Zhu Yu, so he didn't leave a social media account.

After a while, Zhu Yu received more than a dozen photos.
It’s a dozen photos, not a dozen bronzes!
At this time, Zhu Yu was watching those people bidding in the goods yard.
Now that he is no longer involved, with him here and Jason speaking a few more times, the bidding every two days will be well arranged.
Although Zhu Yu had a clairvoyance, he no longer paid attention to the 30,000 to 50,000 yuan profit in the container.
Ran Jie and the other three were protecting the surroundings. At this moment, they were a little surprised when they saw Zhu Yu's expression suddenly became very strange.
In the past few days, all the people who called Zhu Yu wanted to buy war skirts.
Except for the one or two who couldn't see themselves clearly, the others all had a very calm tone, and were even very enthusiastic to the point of being fawning.
After all, if you can get this golden battle dress, you will definitely become popular!
So it was really surprising that Ran Jie suddenly had this expression today.
Looking at the babies in the photos, Zhu Yu really had mixed feelings.
Although he is an outsider and even though he only looked at the photos, he is basically certain that these things should be real.
There is a short introduction at the end of the photo.
"My grandfather's father originally bought these things. He just kept them in the basement of our house because, except for him, no one else in our family likes this kind of stuff.
If we hadn't sold our old house recently, these things would still be sitting in the basement."
This should be a sentence left by the original owner, and he finally sent it to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu immediately called Tauris:
"Where is the thing in London? I'll go there now."
"Suburban London, when you get there, contact my assistant Ewen." Tauris was a little happy after hearing Zhu Yu's words.
If Zhu Yu is sure that he can exchange this batch of things, he will make a lot of money!
Of course, Zhu Yu was sure that if all these things were given to him, he would also make a lot of money!
However, Zhu Yu was self-aware, and he felt that Taoris meant that he should choose a few of these things.
After all, to be honest, as long as a few of them have inscriptions, then he will fly!
Of course, Zhu Yu's heart twitched when he saw the bronzes that could be regarded as national treasures stacked together in the photo.
What he wants to do most now is to go over and take a look at these things. As long as they are not made by the village in China last week, but made by Dongxi Zhou, then he must save these things immediately!
It's heartbreaking to see such precious things piled up randomly like rubbish!
Zhu Yu rented a plane and flew to London that night!
When he arrived in London, Zhu Yu had no intention of taking a break and called Ai Wen directly.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu." Ai Wen is a tall, elegantly dressed white-collar worker with short blond hair. She wears round-rimmed glasses and looks a bit intellectual.
He looks about twenty-four or five years old, but he is very capable.
"Hello, can I go see those bronzes now?"
Ai Wen works as an administrative assistant and knows almost nothing about cultural relics.
It was just that when Tauris assigned tasks to her subordinates, she followed the arrangement and talked to her classmates and friends. As a result, a high school classmate claimed that he had a bunch of things at home that seemed to be Chinese cultural relics.
In fact, most people abroad do not understand or care about so-called foreign things.
For example, this classmate of Ai Wen's ancestors had such a collection, but he was not interested in it, so he didn't understand it and didn't take care of it.
If it wasn't for the move, these things would have been gathering dust in the basement, unnoticed.
Many overseas cultural relics have emerged in this way over the years.
Of course, there are also people who specialize in deceiving Chinese people into picking up leaks, but they basically belong to the professional circle.
For ordinary people, the chance of coming into contact with Chinese people is very small, just like the chance that ordinary Chinese people can come into contact with foreigners is very rare.
That is to say, in recent years in China, due to the popularity of treasure appraisal, collection and other programs, it seems that collecting is very popular among the people. Even in the village, people know that old things are valuable.
It's a great collection.
Otherwise, who would know the value of their pickle vat or the porcelain dish for feeding cats?
As soon as Ewen got the news, she immediately went to see it, took photos, and then reported it to her superiors.
They went to Tauris one by one, and then after Tauris personally screened them, Zhu Yu was asked to take a look at these first.
After all, it is more in line with the content range mentioned by Zhu Yu. And some of the other ones I found were too expensive.
Ai Wen originally planned to treat Zhu Yu and the others to a meal first, and then go see something.
The group left the matter of hosting Zhu Yu and the others to her, which put a lot of pressure on Ai Wen.
After all, this is a task assigned by the top management of the group, and the bonus alone is as high as 100,000 euros!
Of course, that is if it is done.
So Ai Wen paid great attention to it and even dressed up specially today.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu's first words were to go and see something.
For a moment, she even wondered if she was not attractive enough? Why did these four young men only pay attention to her twice?
But the VIP’s requirements must be met as best as possible.
She nodded quickly and said:
"Okay, but why don't you guys go get something to eat first? I've already made a reservation at the restaurant."
"Let's go see something first." Zhu Yu said, "Only after I see something will I have the appetite to eat."
Ai Wen led Zhu Yu and the others into the business car arranged by the company and went to her classmate Kelly's home.
Ewen did not tell Kelly that Zhu Yu was a distinguished guest from the group's top management, but she only said that she had helped her contact someone who wanted to buy Chinese cultural relics.
