Hello, 1983

Maradona led Argentina and stumbled into the final.

However, in the face of a powerful opponent, Maradona no longer miraculously, and eventually lost.

There is no way. Since ancient times, beautiful people have been like famous generals, and white heads are not allowed in the world. Maradona is indeed old.

When the final whistle blew, the old horse also burst into tears, crying like a child. This scene also touched hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV.

The era of Maradona is coming to an end.

However, there are talents and talents from generation to generation, and generations of stars will emerge, making this sport more colorful and magnificent.

But the real world champion, after Pele and the old horse, no one has won this honor.

Even if they are as strong as Messi and Ronaldo later, they can only be regarded as superstars and cannot reach the top of the ball.

The West German team won the Hercules Cup as they wished, and Liu Qingshan's performance during the World Cup also ended perfectly.

There is a special newspaper that counts Mr. Mountain's harvest: in the gambling company, the profit exceeds 50 million US dollars.

With the popularity of the World Cup, the Jade Bird mobile phone has been sold worldwide, and the number of reservations has exceeded 1.5 million.

First, the Jade Bird phone is indeed more compact and convenient, and its performance is far stronger than Motorola's cellular phone.

Second, during the World Cup, the Jade Bird mobile phone is a promotion, and the price is only $2,000. .

And once the World Cup is over, the price will return to $3,000.

If all the 1.5 million phones were sold, it would be worth $3 billion.

Even if costs, tariffs, and commissions to distributors are removed, the profits of Jade Bird will definitely exceed one billion US dollars.

Such companies, in the current world, can be photographed within the top 100.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is soaring into the sky.

This has also made many people coveted, and have turned their attention to the field of mobile phones.

What is even more enviable is that Liu Qingshan and the Mitsui Group also have a business bet. Judging from the current market value of Earth Network and Columbia Pictures, the value is at least between 2 billion and 3 billion.

I'm afraid this year's rich list,

Liu Qingshan can also have a place in the top 100.

So the newspaper commented at the end of the article: The biggest winner of this World Cup is Mr. Mountain.

At this moment, the big winner is in the hotel of the West German team, to fulfill the promise of 10 million marks.

Just during the World Cup, on July 1, the two Germanys issued a statement that they would unify the currency: the original East German mark, in accordance with the ratio of one to one, to exchange the West German mark.

Of course, this is not without conditions, there are still some restrictions, such as one of them: if it exceeds 4,000 marks, it will be exchanged according to one to two.

Even so, Liu Qingshan's 100 million East German marks can be exchanged for more than 50 million West German marks, which can be regarded as a big profit for Longteng Company.

The arrival of Liu Qingshan was also unanimously welcomed by the team's coaches, players and officials. Who wouldn't give money away?

"Congratulations to the entire team again, I have said before that you are the champions!" Liu Qingshan also delivered a warm congratulatory message.

This is not hypocritical at all, because before the opening of the World Cup, Liu Qingshan promised a bonus of 10 million marks.

Head coach Beckenbauer also represented the team and thanked Liu Qingshan.

It can be said that the cooperation between the two sides is very successful, and it is a typical win-win situation: the team won a high bonus, and Liu Qingshan's Bluebird mobile phone also took off with the championship.

Later, Liu Qingshan was retained by the coaching staff and waited until noon for lunch.

The head coach also euphemistically said: their domestic teams have a long history, tough style and good strength, and many teams are worth investing in.

He also heard some rumors that it was Mr. Mountain who wanted to buy a football club.

Who wouldn't want to win over such a big money lord?

It has been said in the newspapers that Mr. Mountain's current net worth is at least several billions, and there is no pressure at all to raise a team.

However, Liu Qingshan does not want to start a football club in Germany, the Germans are a bit conservative.

Liu Qingshan didn't like the teams from the Apennine Peninsula. Although the results were good, the idea of ​​​​defensive defense was really lacking in appreciation.

In addition, La Liga is also relatively popular, but La Liga is not easy to deal with. It is too self-righteous, and racial discrimination will always erupt.

What Liu Qingshan likes more is the current English League, which is the later Premier League, which is more popular.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan could only smile at Beckenbauer's suggestion, saying that he didn't know much about football, and that he would hire a professional team to inspect the leagues of various countries.

The head coach was really embarrassed to expose him: You still don't understand football, I heard that you have won more than 50 million with 10 million!

Beckenbauer is also a veteran, knowing that Liu Qingshan doesn't like the Italian Bundesliga, so he changed the subject and talked about something else.

While they were having a good conversation, a few people walked in, and looking at the posture, they must be officials in West Germany.

Sure enough, Beckenbauer got up and greeted enthusiastically, and among them was a Merkel Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Liu Qingshan also politely shook hands with them, but thought about it in his heart: It's not because of me, right?

I really asked him to guess right. This Mr. Merkel quickly got to the point. Speaking of which, it was Liu Qingshan's Longteng Company, which hoarded East German marks, which was a bit too eye-catching.

After all, more than 100 million yuan is not a small sum of money even for the government.

Merkel said that according to the original plan, for more than 500,000 East German marks, the exchange rate will be 4:1.

In this way, Longteng Company is basically busy working in vain.

However, Merkel also said that considering Liu Qingshan's support for West Germany in this World Cup, the ratio of 2 to 1 is still maintained.

Liu Qingshan also smiled and expressed his gratitude. Since everyone said so, there is no need to make extra troubles.

If the other party is really not particular about the exchange, Liu Qingshan will definitely have a good theory with them.

After all, this money is from Longteng Trading Company, which has been accumulated over the years. It is not speculation, and it is reasonable to sue to the international court.

At the end of the World Cup, the sales of Jade Bird mobile phones were gratifying. Of course, Liu Qingshan was in a good mood, so he led Wu Tong to stroll around the Apennine Peninsula for a few days.

The two of them roamed together in the Colosseum of ancient Rome, and rowed in the water city of Venice together. The small days were still very pleasant.

A week later, Wu Tong joined several producers of The Lion King animation and flew to the United States to promote the animation in the United States.

Liu Qingshan asked Lu Liang to follow Wu Tong as a follower, and he took Lu Fang and flew back to France, because the first stop of the Heart to Heart Art Troupe was there.

It was still Victor's manor, old friends reunited, Victor shook the red wine in the glass: "Liu, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

Leo next to him was a little dissatisfied: "Liu, why do you always bet on the right match, but I lose more than 10,000 francs?"

Losing is right, because the vast majority of people lose.

Liu Qingshan gently clinked glasses with Victor: "Leo, because you are stupid, why didn't you lose like Victor?"

"He didn't bet at all, okay!" Leo muttered again.

Liu Qingshan laughed: "That's right, the master is the one who stands on the sidelines."

The three chatted happily. Victor also invited Liu Qingshan to participate in the auction together tomorrow, and Liu Qingshan readily agreed.

In foreign countries, there are so many auction companies, big and small, that Liu Qingshan and the others participated, which is barely a medium-sized auction house.

The old auction hall looks like it can accommodate two or three hundred people, but there are only less than a hundred people seated.

Liu Qingshan took over a list of auction items, most of which were gadgets, silver tableware, items used by so-and-so celebrities, and works by some unknown oil painters.

The difference between foreign works of art and domestic ones is that in addition to the value of the works of art themselves, they also pay more attention to the celebrity effect.

Just like the pipe of Sherlock Holmes, if it is put up for auction, it will definitely sell for a big price.

The premise is that the Sherlock Holmes pipe exists, if at all.

Liu Qingshan was not very interested in these lots, but there was a bronze ware that attracted Liu Qingshan's attention.

Looking at the mighty bronze horse head on the roster, Liu Qingshan rubbed his eyes subconsciously: Wouldn't it be one of the twelve animal heads of the zodiac in Yuanmingyuan?

These beast heads made a lot of noise later, and they fought each other. In the end, there were still a few missing pieces.

The head of the beast appeared at the auction, and the price skyrocketed, from several million at first, to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions later.

But before that, like in the 1980s, animal heads were really worthless.

In 1985, an antique dealer in the United States accidentally found a bronze statue of a horse's head in a private house, along with a cow's head and a tiger's head.

Antique dealers bought the three heads for $1,500 each.

Note that it is fifteen hundred dollars, and there is no swastika after it.

The price of the same item has increased by tens of thousands of times in the past 20 to 30 years. This is of course the malicious speculation of those unscrupulous antique dealers.

Gotta get this head!

In Liu Qingshan's mind, only this voice was shouting.

But he quickly calmed down, Uncle Lu was not here, and he couldn't tell the authenticity of the animal head.

Fortunately, Lu Fang followed. This kid has also learned from Uncle Lu for several years, and it should be no problem to identify the animal head.

So Liu Qingshan handed the picture album to Lu Fang, and pointed to the picture of the horse's head.

But Lu Fang was a little confused: "What shape is this, is it a copper art product from Europe?"

Nowadays, the Twelve Beast Heads are not well-known, and the fame has not been hyped, so most people do not know their existence.

Liu Qingshan told him in a low voice: The animal heads of the 12 zodiac signs were originally placed in the Yuanmingyuan, and they were all animal heads and human beings. Every hour, the mouth of the corresponding animal head would spray water jets to tell the time.

When it was noon, the twelve animal heads sprayed water together, which was spectacular.

This object was produced under the supervision of the famous foreign craftsman Lang Shining during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

The ancient method used to smelt copper and add a variety of alloys, so it has never rusted after two hundred years.

According to Lang Shining's original intention, he wanted to make twelve ** sculptures, but later the emperor said that it was indecent, so he changed it to the twelve zodiac signs that were more in line with Chinese characteristics.

After listening to Liu Qingshan's introduction, Lu Fang was also shocked: "Boss, this thing is more precious than Xuande stove, we must take it!"

"Check it out first, the time is right, don't get the foreigner imitation, it will be a loss." Liu Qingshan reminded, Lu Fang nodded vigorously.

The two of them were muttering in Mandarin, and the people next to them, except Victor and Leo, couldn't understand them either.

"Liu, if you're interested in this, then I'll take a picture for you." Victor was cunning and didn't plan to call Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan also agreed with Victor's proposal. In general auction houses, there are nurses and they will help raise the price.

During the World Cup, Liu Qingshan made a lot of limelight. If he was recognized as the rich and powerful Mr. Mountain, the price would definitely be skyrocketing.

Soon, the auction started, and Liu Qingshan also shouted the price several times, but it was quickly replaced by a higher price.

Instead, Victor bought a set of silver cutlery, said to be from the Victorian era, which made him gleefully happy.

Finally, it was the turn of the beast head to appear. Some staff lifted the horse head out of the square plate. It was about half the size of the real horse head, but the weight was not light at all.

The Anglo-French Allied Forces at that time probably thought it was mixed with precious gold, so they went all the way to get it back.

The auction hall is not big, so Liu Qingshan, who is sitting below, can see clearly.

I saw that the horse's head was dark in color, Baoguang was restrained, and the shape was very powerful, and the curly mane was fully visible.

Liu Qingshan basically believes that this must be the real thing.

And Lu Fang also nodded slightly to him, although he didn't get started, but this kind of craft is obviously not something ordinary people can imitate.

The reserve price of the auction was also staggering: $5,000.

Not many people are interested in this beast head, only a few people made bids, and they raised the price a few times before it could reach 6,000 US dollars.

"Six thousand five hundred dollars!"

Victor asked for a price, which suddenly increased by five hundred yuan, but no one made any more bids.

A bronze horse head, UU reading www.uukanshu. com finally sold for $6,500, can you believe it?

In the whole process, there was no turbulence, no thrilling bidding, and no competition between you and me. It was normal, and it felt a little unreal to call Liu Qingshan.

He has experienced later generations, and he often hears that some precious cultural relics in China are photographed, and they are often tens of millions, but hundreds of millions.

In fact, in this era, the price of Chinese antiques is relatively low, and it is normal to see this scene.

Pressing his excitement, Liu Qingshan looked at Lu Fang next to him, and he had a calculation in his heart: In the past two years, let Lu Fang and his brothers buy back Chinese antiques at major auctions in Europe.

First, Liu Qingshan has this kind of economic strength, and secondly, taking advantage of the current low price, he can save money.

When the auction was over, when Victor paid the money to pick up the goods, he asked again, seemingly inadvertently:

"This thing seems to be a group of animal heads. Do you have any others here?"
