Movie World Traveller
Chapter 833: : Laura is back
Jiang Hao came to the library, found a librarian, and used his identity as a teacher to borrow several rare editions of ancient Greek language books.
Ancient Greece is one of the main sources of Western civilization. Ancient Greek civilization lasted for about 650 years. The recorded literature, technology, and art in the West all started from ancient Greece.
The ancient Greeks had profound accomplishments in philosophical thinking, poetry, architecture, science, literature, drama, mythology and many other aspects. After the demise of ancient Greece, this civilization heritage was continued by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the entire western civilization. Spiritual source.
As a historian and archeologist, the languages that he needs to master are Ancient Greek and Ancient Egyptian. It is natural to master the pre-Qin languages in China. However, Jiang Hao once traveled to ancient times and passed the examination. He is more adept at improving knowledge in these two areas.
This knowledge may not be used now, or may not be used in the future, but in case it is used, it may or may not be a matter of life and death. Anyway, if you have time now, read more books and learn ~ www. wuxiaspot.com ~ learn,
In class,
Jiang Hao lives a fulfilling and leisurely life, and at the same time he is constantly supplementing his knowledge.
Knowledge is always the most precious.
that's it,
More than a month later, Steven said at breakfast: "Mr. Jon, today the Charlotte auction house will be conducting an auction. The time is 10 am. Would you like to participate?"
"Are you auctioning today, prepare me a suit for a while." Jiang Hao said, putting a piece of bacon in his mouth.
"Good sir."
I drove to the Charlotte auction house, and when I arrived here, I found that it was very lively. Numerous guests entered the auction house in twos and threes, and there were three floors of security at the door to take charge of security inspection. The VIP passes and entered the venue smoothly.
Find a place to sit down, next to Jiang Hao are two women in their thirties, dressed very sexy, posing as a lady, Jiang Hao sat down next to each other, and saw that they were an Oriental Did not say hello to get to know the meaning, continue to talk about their own topics.
"Lisa, today is definitely a big scene. I heard them discuss the three sculptures, and I am afraid that the price of each one will not be less than 100 million pounds."
"One hundred million pounds, my God, I really want to know that seller." The woman, who was called Lisa, said in shock.
"It's 300 million. Didn't you see those big collectors and museums sending people here, I'm afraid it will exceed this price."
"What do you think of him, do you have a chance to meet him?" Lisa whispered.
"I guess it must be a wealthy rich man, maybe a certain nobleman. The client's auctions are mostly anonymous, so we are afraid we have no chance to know the seller." The woman said without regret.
The auction officially started, and the opening lot was Alexander the Great's golden ware. As for the statues, they must have been placed at the end as finale lots.
"You, Alexander the Great, a gold incense burner, 25 cm high and 35 cm wide, with carved patterns on it, inlaid with a total of 32 various gems, weighing 13.47 kg."
"The starting price is 4.8 million pounds, and the auction is now on."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice came to an end, the bidders were one after another, and the price climbed to 5.6 million pounds soon, and the price did not seem to reach the top.
Jiang Hao couldn't help but lament that compared with Eastern antiques, Westerners more accept these Western antiques, the starting price is much higher, and now more people are participating in the auction.
"570!"
"590!"
"600."
The two women next to them whispered again, and the woman named Lisa said with great envy: "6 million pounds, these people are really rich."
The woman next to her smiled. "This is just the beginning. Look at it. When the three sculptures come, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back and pee."
...
In the end, the incense burner of Alexander the Great was sold for 7.1 million.
The auction crashed and everyone applauded. Jiang Hao also applauded, with a smile on his face, because the money belonged to him, and he was naturally happier than everyone else on the scene.
Like the incense burner just now, if it is directly absorbed, it is only equivalent to a piece of gold of 13.5 kilograms. Now that the money is sold, Jiang Hao's money can expand the space of that gold by 20 times, which is equivalent to that he earned 20 Times.
"The second lot, Alexander the Great's court handicraft 'Golden Harp', is a piece of ornaments with an inscription on the sun **** Apollo."
"Everyone knows that Apollo is the sun god, but also the **** of music and poetry. The instrument he uses is the harp."
"The starting price for this gold harp is £ 3.5 million and the auction is now on."
"350."
"360."
"..."
The price has been rising all the way. In the constant surprise of people, the price has soared to 7.4 million, more than doubled, and everyone applauded warmly.
One piece,
Two pieces,
three item...
Finally, all twelve gold utensils were auctioned off. The cheapest one was a plate that sold for 3.35 million. The most expensive one was the harp, 7.4 million pounds. Jiang Hao calculated in his heart that there were 12 gold wares. The total price exceeds £ 60 million.
However, this is only an appetizer, and then it is the finale. Today, most people here are directed at those three sculptures.
The auctioneer said in an excited tone: "You, the next thing to be auctioned is the statue of Eros Venus. She is a work of Polititos, one of the three great Greek sculptors, and was collected by Alexander the Great. The value is immeasurable and the completeness of the statue is amazing. After more than 2000 years, it has hardly suffered any damage. "
"Well, I won't say much. I believe that many people here have conducted detailed studies on these statues. Now that the auction has started, the statue of Eros Venus has a starting price of 78 million pounds, each time. The price increase is not less than 1 million pounds, and the auction is now on. "
78 million pounds, this price is really sky-high, converted into US dollars is exactly one hundred million, but as soon as the auctioneer shouted to start, several people immediately raised their signs.
"79 million."
"80 million."
"..."
"85 million."
What is money? Money is a pile of paper and a bunch of useless numbers. Art is priceless. In some people's mind, they exchange valuable currency for priceless art, and they are extremely happy with this process.
Jiang Hao agrees with their values.
Jiang Hao is also very happy in exchange for the money in your pocket with my artwork.
"One hundred million, one hundred million pounds. The 89th guest went to one hundred million pounds. Is there any higher, the statue of Venus, the **** of love in Polycritos. In recent decades, no such antique has appeared, Who knows if the next encounter will be decades later. "
The auctioneer stirred up three inches of brash tongues.
"100 million."
"102 million."
When the limit is broken, a new round of growth begins.
It was another bidding. In the end, this statue of Eros Venus was photographed by the Louvre for 123 million pounds.
The auction continues,
The second sculpture is Nikki, the goddess of victory. The goddess of victory has a high status in ancient Greece. She has a pair of wings, a body figure, and elegant clothes. Victory followed her wherever she went, especially Alexander the Great. This goddess, so use the statue of the goddess of victory as the national gold coin pattern.
In the end, the statue was sold for 118 million pounds and was still photographed by the Louvre.
The French are happy,
The treasures of their previous three major town halls, two of them are the statue of Venus and the statue of Victory, which are unfortunately incomplete. The statues taken this time are master works, or the most complete version, which can be considered as complete. Some regrets.
But this makes British people a bit upset.
After all, several master-level statues appeared, and all of them were removed by the French. When auctioning the statue of Athena, the Louvre offered to bid, and this time the British Museum swore to the price, and finally bought the statue of God of War. The price is 134 million pounds.
Rumble!
There was a warm applause at the venue.
When others left, Jiang Hao went to the president's office and found Garrison. Garrison saw Jiang Hao with a smile on his face. "Mr. Jon, congratulations on your earning a lot of wealth, 440 million pounds. This It is a wealth that countless people can't get in a lifetime. "
"You have also made a lot, and the 10% handling fee is more than 40 million pounds." Jiang Hao said.
The smile on Garrison's face grew stronger.
"Garison, I have something to discuss with you, and see if you can help me do it." Jiang Hao said.
"Mr. Jon, talk about it."
"When you pay for the auction, I hope you will give me cash or help me exchange it for gold and send it directly to my house. I am going to store it." Jiang Hao said.
Garrison froze,
"Storing currency and gold will be very troublesome to use in the future. It is not as convenient as putting it on a bank account. You can use cash at any time if you need cash. It is more convenient to use a bank card for large expenses." Garrison was surprised. Said.
"I have my own consideration." Jiang Hao insisted.
Garrison nodded and said, "It's not that difficult. The president of Lloyds and I are friends. The Crawford family also owns shares in Lloyds. I can use Lloyds banks to withdraw the cash you need. Can give you a certain amount of gold. "
Lloyd's Private Bank Jiang Hao has heard that one of the four largest private banks in the UK did not expect that the Crawford family also has a stake in this bank. Jiang Hao lamented that these old noble families started early and earned countless Wealth, but also endless connections, it's no wonder that social classes will become more and more solidified, because ordinary people really have a hard time surpassing them.
After a few days,
Several large escorts drove into Jon Manor, and the closed boxes were moved into the basement, filling one of the treasure chests.
After the move was completed and others withdrew, Garrison told Jiang Hao separately: "There are 2 tons of gold and 300 million pounds of cash."
"Thank you, Garrison," Jiang Hao thanked.
Garrison blinked. "Mr. Jon, I have to remind you that it is not safe to have so much cash at home, and it is easy to be remembered."
Jiang Hao smiled, "It won't be long."
It didn't last long. Jiang Hao absorbed all the gold and cash that night, and then his space grew up to nearly one cubic meter.
by.
Painstakingly go to auction,
Might as well roll around those gold treasures.
But until now, Jiang Hao's golden space has reached 16 cubic meters, and this volume should be able to put down an overbearing Prado.
Jiang Hao smiled.
Haha,
Our golden space is overbearing!
.......
Life has returned to peace, perhaps the main theme of life should be calm. Daily Jiang Hao reads, exercises, cultivates, and occasionally goes to classes for students. Such a day is very leisurely and demure.
However, the quiet days are used to break down ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ On this day, Jiang Hao went back to the manor and saw a healthy figure running out of the villa, with long hair flying in the back of his head, Jiang Hao jumped two or three meters away and jumped on Jiang Hao.
"Hahaha, Jon, I'm back, I miss you so much, do you miss me?" Laura shouted, holding Jiang Hao's neck.
"I miss you, I miss you when I am sad, just like the sun in winter; I miss you when I am happy, just like the shade in the sun." Jiang Hao read a poem by Hugo.
Laura kissed Jiang Hao's lips at the same time, and the two kissed fiercely at the door of the manor, entangled with each other, and devoted.
Jiang Hao held Laura's hips and walked straight into the second-floor bedroom. The two had fewer and fewer clothes and kissed them into the bathroom. After a while, a song sounded in the bathroom. , The waves scour the heroes ... "
