American Warehouse Taobao King
Chapter 433: 【Sharkskin Scroll】
Cook is a young man who is very thoughtful and has a very hearty personality. Seeing Yang Yong's guilty eyes, Cook laughed heartily, patted my shoulder and said with a smile.
"David, don't care too much, you must know that it is a society of money now, money is power, and how much money is how much power is. Although everyone here is the top wealthy family in Georgia, no matter whether it is wealth or relationship with the top richest person like you. There is no comparison at all. It is right that they fear you, strength represents everything, you don't need to care too much, just shoot whatever you like, there are so many scruples. "
Yang Yong couldn't help but admire Cook's cheerful personality and said with a smile, "If no one competes with me like this, how can the price of an auction item be raised. I auction an item for 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars, What can be done for a child with leukemia."
"Otherwise, you can join hands and help me raise the price. I like this Buddha very much. How about raising the price to about 500,000 yuan, so that I can have an explanation for charity."
Seeing that Yang Yong insisted so much, Cook, as a new friend, of course wanted to help, and Yang Yong did so for the consideration of the Manning family. So Cook agreed very heartily and joined the bid for the Buddha statue with Yang Yong. The two of them chatted and laughed. After you sang, I came on stage and held up their number cards to each other. The price of this Buddha statue soared from $100,000, and Yang Yong finally bought this statue, carved from agarwood, for $500,000.
Yang Yong's actions were all carried out under the eyes of everyone. Yang Yong invited Cook to bid for this Buddha statue. The voice was not small, and everyone could hear it clearly. Therefore, everyone has a preliminary understanding of Yang Yong's personality, that is, Yang Yong's personality is very forthright, and he is also very charitable. In order for the children to get more treatment, I actually asked my friend Cook to play a play with me. The price of 100,000 US dollars was abruptly raised to 500,000 yuan, a premium of more than 1,000%.
This kind of mind has been admired by everyone. Although Yang Yong's reputation outside is not very good, but everyone is an adult, it is impossible to judge a person's good or bad because of rumors. Today, I saw Yang Yong's real life, and I saw what Yang Yong did in real life, which left a very good impression on the wealthy class in Georgia. Therefore, after Yang Yong bought this wooden Buddha statue, all the guests at the scene stood up and applauded, praising Yang Yong's actions.
Yang Yong didn't expect that he suddenly got the recognition and praise of all the rich and famous, making Yang Yong very embarrassed. He quickly stood up and applauded the surroundings. The applauded person stood up and bowed. He received more intense applause and shouting, and the excitement subsided after a while.
The next auction is officially on the right track. With Yang Yong, the top billionaire taking the lead, everyone's enthusiasm for the auction is unprecedentedly high. Almost every auction item sold at a premium of more than 500%, especially the bottle of 1850 Lafite red wine brought out by the Manning family, which was auctioned for an astonishing $500,000.
And Yang Yong brought the value of 500,000 US dollars, and the top oil paintings were also sold at auction. The high price of 2 million US dollars was bought by a top wealthy family who ran a jewelry store. More than 60 pieces of the collection were sold out in more than an hour, and the donations that could be made add up to more than 10 million US dollars.
All the money received is donated to the American Leukemia Children's Treatment Foundation. Even though the 10 million US dollars is not much, it can completely help more than 100 children with leukemia. To give these children a new life and a chance to survive, the chairman of the foundation and the patriarch of the Manning family, Manning, walked to the auction stage together and bowed to all the guests. Thank you for your support, and we were able to raise $10 million to donate to UNICEF.
The auction was followed by a grand dinner. All the guests ate and drank, then walked around chatting with each other, and exchanged contact information with some friends who were more comfortable. In particular, Yang Yong became the center of the whole banquet, surrounded by many people. Fortunately, Yang Yong was full of energy and could handle it. The banquet officially ended at 10 o'clock in the evening. Yang Yong and his wife declined the request of the Cooks to stay at Manning Manor.
Instead, he took his spoils and returned to the Hilton Hotel in Atlanta. After a night of rest, the members of the Yang family boarded a small plane and flew back to Savannah Town, Anna Castle, and continued. Happy days.
Yang Yong is a restless person, and he is very curious. When he encounters something he is interested in, he will not be able to sleep if he fails to study it thoroughly and makes a mistake. So after returning home and having lunch, Yang Yong took this wooden Buddha statue with a strange shape that did not look like it was made by an oriental person, and went back to the study to start a study.
With Yang Yong’s current level, it can be said that he is half an antique expert, so he is very professional in the construction of antiques. Spread a white towel on the desk, then grab a set of miniature tools such as small hammers, pliers, etc., and then start dismantling the wooden stopper on the belly of the wooden Buddha with the help of clairvoyance.
Because of the age, and the surrounding of the wooden stopper is tightly sealed by agarwood colloid, it is necessary to use a small hammer and chisel to slowly clean the black colloid around the wooden stopper. Then take off the wooden stopper little by little, take out the scroll inside, and carefully observe it in your hand.
Yang Yong was also surprised that this scroll was really made of animal leather, with a length of no more than ten centimeters in diameter and a width of no more than five centimeters, and the animal leather on it was very unique, like sandpaper, very thick. Yang Yong really can't figure out what kind of animal this piece of leather is on. If you don't understand, you can check it. Now the Internet is so convenient.
Input combined with some of the above features to make an online query, only to find out that these sandpaper-like leathers are actually a kind of hammerhead shark unique to the Caribbean, made of shark skin. Because the hammerhead shark is an alternative among sharks, it has two eyes, one in the east and one in the west, and its head is very special like a oar.
But don't look at the very weird appearance of the hammerhead shark, but the hammerhead shark is a very large shark. Moreover, the shark skin is very thick and corrosion-resistant. In ancient times, the shark skin of the hammerhead shark was still the top raw material for the scabbard. The scabbard made of the hammerhead shark can protect the sword from the corrosion of ocean moisture and salinity. Protect the sharpness of the sword.
And hammerhead sharks are not small, catching these hammerhead sharks was a very dangerous job in ancient times. If you don’t get it right, you will be buried in the mouth of the shark, so the shark skin of the hammerhead shark is a very top-level leather product. Most people really can’t afford it. Since this scroll is made of shark skin, you can imagine how luxurious it is. How outrageous.
After confirming the leather type of the scroll, Yang Yong began to wear white gloves and gently opened the sharkskin leather buckle little by little. Then spread out the scroll and began to observe carefully. Because the shark skin of the hammerhead shark is very strong, the text and pictures in the scroll are not written with ink, but are stamped with something like a soldering iron, so even if After 100 years, the text and pictures on the scrolls are clearly visible.
