Blackstone Code

“This is an art world gem!”

A Gefra-born federal technology connoisseur carefully put the magnifying glass back into his pocket. His velvet-gloved hands gently touched the stone slab, and the luster in his eyes was like seeing a bare butt for the first time decades ago. A woman full of obsession and desire to explore!

In front of him was a three-meter-long stone slab. There were seven more such stone slabs, totaling thirty meters in length.

It is the body of the legendary "Epic of Taihora", a giant narrative wall.

It was born about two thousand years ago and records the process of a civilization called "Taihora" from tribe to peak prosperity and towards death.

It has an extremely important position and extremely high value in the art world and the historical world!

The place where it existed was conquered by Pengeo, and this giant wall sculpture was dismantled and became a royal collection.

But now, it appears in the Federation, in front of Lynch.

In fact, from Lynch's point of view, the level of carvings on these wall sculptures is not very high, they look very simple and a bit rough, and it can be said that they are not worth much.

However, these connoisseurs love it very much, just like the one in front of me, gently stroking it with slightly trembling hands, just like stroking a girl's skin that has some goosebumps due to the contact reaction!

"At the end of the Taihora Dynasty, King Sekan asked the ten most outstanding carving masters at that time to record the history of the entire Taihora Dynasty in this way."

"He told the carvers that there is no eternal dynasty in the world, just like there is no eternal human being."

"But the stone will exist forever. It can faithfully record everything that happened in the Taihora Dynasty!"

"These engravers are all great and outstanding masters. Their works alone are now priceless treasures."

"Not to mention such a joint work that brings together the efforts of ten masters!"

"It is a beacon of history, illuminating a past time!"

Look, this is an artist, he talks so nicely, but Lynch doesn't care about this.

"How much is it worth?"

The connoisseur did not express displeasure many times, nor did he say anything like "Don't use your dirty money to desecrate art."

In the Federation, banknotes are the truly supreme art!

The connoisseurs discussed with each other for a while and gave Lynch a rough quotation——

"Thirty-five million, Mr. Lynch. Although it is very precious, its form of expression is not suitable for personal collection."

"It's also not that great for display, you know, the two dominant factions in the collecting world right now."

“Either to show off their collections or to show the depth of their collections, these people need collections that are easy to display.”

"It's not big, you can even hold it in your hand, as long as it has high collection value."

"The other faction is only interested in value. These people are not keen on collecting. What they are keen on is the change in price."

"The Epic Wall of Taihora is not among them. It is extremely difficult to display, and the price will not change much."

“Although its historical value is very high, the price is the highest, so that’s how it’s done!”

The price is very fair, and even connoisseurs are a little bit pricey.

He feels that 40 to 50 million should not be a big problem, and such a collection is actually not suitable for personal collection.

It should be placed in a museum and displayed to people, so that people can learn about a dynasty that once existed in history.

To unravel the fog of history and let people get closer to the rise and fall of Taihela.

If you can feel something from it and get some educational significance, that would be even better!

Lynch nodded slightly, turned around and quoted a price to the person who was taking notes, "The maximum price is fifteen million. If the price is higher than this, it will be sold."

The connoisseur opened his mouth, intending to say that art is priceless, but in the end he said nothing.

When he takes Lynch's money, he should speak for Lynch. Even if he doesn't want to express such thoughts, he should at least keep his mouth shut and know what can and cannot be said.

Throughout the day, Lynch admired various works of art.

Art is different from gold and jewelry.

As long as the gold is big enough and the jewelry is pure and heavy enough, it must be a good thing.

But artwork is different.

Some things you think are bullshit, but those who do art think...this is the truth of the fucking universe!

There was an artist in the Commonwealth who spent a week peeling apples in his art gallery and then took two bites of the peeled apples.

The peeled apple peels were placed randomly on a plate, the bitten apples were also placed on the plate, and a photo was taken.

Photos and negatives are sold with this plate of apples and apple peels.

Many people struggled to grab these rubbish!

In the end, seven apples, apple peels, plates, photos and negatives were sold for a total of more than 170,000 yuan.

Art appreciation has become a status symbol in the Federation, and many people are keen to learn such knowledge.

Lynch is not among them.

The large number of art works keeps these connoisseurs busy, but they are very happy because many of them are collections of various royal families in the past.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for these things to spread to the public. They can only get a glimpse of them in newspapers, magazines, and photos.

As for touching with hands, there is no place to even think about it.

Lynch spent several days bargaining.

Sometimes just cut off a zero.

At first, the Penjiao people couldn't accept it, but after a few days of delay, they could only hold their noses and admit it. They really couldn't delay it anymore.

According to connoisseurs, the artwork, which was worth about 1.2 billion, was finally valued at only 5 billion.

With about 2 billion remaining, a loan agreement was signed.

The Pengeo government borrowed 2 billion federal soles from the Federal Blackstone Bank. The principal and interest will be repaid within five years based on the current annual interest rate of 21.73%.

If the principal and interest are not repaid, Blackstone Bank will have the right to take any action to recover the loan.

The Pengeos thought about it and signed the document.

Lynch and Blackstone Bank would not lend them money because they already owed Lynch two billion.

The two billion yuan in the agreement is used to pay the final payment for the purchase of aircraft technology and production technology.

In other words, the money was just transferred from the bank account to Lynch's personal account. The money remained unchanged in the bank, only the account changed.

As for them not paying back the money?

The federal government will help Lynch solve this problem.

Lynch forwarded the materials to the Department of International Affairs after review by the Security Committee, and then the Department of International Affairs forwarded them to Peng Jieofang.

Both parties checked the completeness and content of the document, and then the transaction was completed.

Pengeo agreed to all of the federal demands that were slightly excessive.

Even in terms of negotiations with Gaevra, many differences were quickly resolved.

In late September, in Bupen, under the spotlight, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Pengeo Empire, on behalf of the entire empire, submitted a letter of surrender to the federation and signed the Treaty of Baipen.

Peace finally returned to the world in the third quarter of the fourth year when the war broke out.

According to statistics, about four million people died in this war around the world, more than 10 million people were injured, and more than 50 million families were affected by the war!

But it's clear to everyone that this isn't the end.

This will not be the last large-scale war in human history. After draining their wealth from the Pengeo Empire, they also want to purchase the Federation's most advanced fighter technology and production technology. It can be seen that they are still dissatisfied.

They will begin to accumulate strength, and when they have the courage to face the whole world again, the next war that will affect the world will break out!

On September 30, Mr. Trueman gave an exciting televised speech to the whole country. He opened the speech with the crisp and clear "We have won"!

He talked about the difficulties encountered in the war and the difficulties faced by the Federals in the early stages of the war.

He talked about people's gradual courage to face the war in the face of the aggression of Pengeo's evil government, and their efforts to gradually grasp the rhythm of the war!

He talked about the middle and later stages of the war, the sacrifices people were willing to make for victory, and also talked about the current victory!

"If victory does not involve bloodshed and sacrifice, then it is a false victory!"

"I don't encourage people to bleed or sacrifice, but we must recognize this fact!"

"Only by fighting, fighting with sacrifice and death, and defending our rights can we get to the end!"

"I also hope that you, everyone in front of the TV, can join me in observing a minute of silence for our heroes who lost their lives in the war..."

As his words fell, people lowered their heads spontaneously, feeling sad and praying with the images of those soldiers who had sacrificed everything for peace in their hearts.

Later in the televised speech, Mr. Trueman also addressed the current overheating of federal finances.

International hot money has entered the federation again, and it’s even crazier than last time!

Last time, these international hot money brought excessive inflation to the federal finance, and then they ran away, leaving the Great Depression to people.

This time, the Federation people will not allow them to easily harm the kind people of the Federation.

He also talked about other things, focusing on the reconstruction and revision of people's livelihood, finance, and social sectors after the war.

In the name of the victor of the war, he exercised his power, and people cheered for him!

On the streets, people spontaneously held celebration parades to celebrate the victory of the war and the Federation becoming the leader of the world!

That smile from the heart can melt everything!

Even if there are difficulties, obstacles, and thorns ahead, the people's heartfelt cheers give Mr. Trueman the courage to go for it!
