Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 1549 Gathering in Fucairah 6
King Solomon was definitely an expert at making money. Of course, we can also see clues from how his descendants were able to make money. In the underground palace of Solomon's Temple, not only a large number of gold coins were obtained, but also an even larger amount of silver coins. The number of gold coins exceeds 100,000, and the number of silver coins exceeds one million.
For currencies that are more than 3,000 years old, you cannot just look at the material of the currency itself. History is very important. Therefore, there is no problem at all with the price of a single Solomon's Temple silver coin exceeding $2,000.
This takes into account the price reduction after so many silver coins were discovered; if it were before, the price of a single coin would definitely exceed US$10,000. People say that Bao Zixuan is generous, but now it seems that he is not stingy at all. The number of reporters who came this time exceeded a thousand. This alone cost millions of dollars.
In fact, this is also to show the Jews that anything can be discussed, and he does not take these cultural relics seriously at all. If you show sincerity or provide conditions that can impress him, then everything will be easy to negotiate.
The two heads of Sotheby's and Christie's were the happiest when they heard Bao Zixuan's words that the exchange of cultural relics was negotiable. Auction houses are originally acting as middlemen, and the exchange of cultural relics also falls into the category of middlemen. The Jews and Bao Zixuan are both wealthy owners; the handling fees incurred by the exchange between the two parties are absolutely astronomical. So as an auction house, as long as you take a small fee, you will make a lot of money.
But such a good business must have some harsh conditions. It's not the time to be happy yet, but I have already made a decision in my heart; I must get the trading rights and try my best to promote this cooperation.
The press conference continues. After all, there are still too many questions that need to be answered slowly.
The Times is an old acquaintance of Bao Zixuan. As the most influential newspaper in the UK, it will of course be invited.
In Britain, everyone enjoys religious freedom, and as a result, many different religious beliefs flourish in the heart of the country. There are two official churches in the UK: the Church of England and the Church of Scotland. Beyond this, various religions and countless denominations can find representatives in Britain.
But the vast majority of British people still believe in Christianity. Although the number of believers who go to church currently is not large, the number still exceeds one million.
Another product of Britain's long and diverse religious history are the stunning churches, monasteries and monastic buildings found across the country. Glastonbury Abbey was a place where Celtic religious activities were held in the past. It once played an important role in the legend of King Arthur. Canterbury Cathedral is also very dramatic. According to legend, St. Augustine died in 597 AD. He came to England from Rome to preach the gospel in 1988. Five years later, he presided over the construction of Canterbury Cathedral.
There are many distinctive historical figures born out of British religious history, including Henry VIII who launched the Protestant Reformation in England, the mysterious St. Patrick, whose festival is now celebrated every year around the world; and the famous legend of Robin Hood Richard the Lion-Hearted King in the middle twelfth century and so on.
Moreover, the British have always been arrogant. Although it is no longer the period when the sun never sets on the British Empire, many British people still believe that they are still very powerful. In addition, the Holy Grail also has a deep historical connection with England, so bringing the Holy Grail back to England is also a good choice.
The Times reporter asked: "It is said that the Holy Grail once belonged to King Arthur. Would you consider using the Holy Grail to exchange some cultural relics with the British?"
This question made the Italian reporter next to him very unhappy. Although they have no affiliation with the Vatican, the Vatican is right in the center of Rome. The Holy Grail's return to the Vatican is bound to attract more pilgrims. The Vatican is very small and has no supporting facilities. Pilgrims can only live and live in Rome, which is a huge boost to Rome's economic prosperity and tourism.
Now trying to bring the Holy Grail to England is tantamount to cutting off the financial resources of the city of Rome. Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Just ask a reporter from Rome, it’s strange to be happy.
Arthur Pendragon, also translated as Arthur Pendragon, commonly known as King Arthur, is the most legendary and great king in ancient Britain. People's knowledge of him comes more from Celtic myths and legends and medieval unofficial historical documents. Legend has it that he is the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, an almost mythical legendary figure, known as the "Eternal King".
After King Arthur defeated the Roman Empire and became king, his interest shifted to finding holy relics. What aroused his interest were the various anecdotes he encountered during his expedition to the European continent.
According to legend, the Holy Grail is the cup carved from jade that Jesus Christ used in the Last Supper. When Jesus was crucified, his disciple Joseph used this cup to catch the blood shed by Jesus. But in the legend of King Arthur, the Holy Grail is all gold.
The Holy Grail first appeared when Lancelot traveled to the territory of King Berlais for dinner. A beautiful girl came to King Burlais holding a gold cup, and everyone immediately knelt down and prayed. Queen Boles said that if the Holy Grail appeared one day, the Round Table would be destined to be destroyed.
The idea of searching for the Holy Grail came about during a round table gathering. After a burst of lightning and thunder, a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared; the Holy Grail appeared, traveled around for a circle and then disappeared, giving all the knights an unprecedented pleasant experience. So all the knights vowed to travel and find the Holy Grail. The knights set out on a journey to find the Holy Grail, either voluntarily or under the king's orders. Most of the one hundred and fifty Knights of the Round Table left like this. This is probably what the prophecy said about the destruction of the Round Table.
Among the knights, the last to find the whereabouts of the Holy Grail were the three knights: the most worldly Bos, the simplest Parsifal and the purest Galahad, but only Galahad among them could hold it - "There is a feeling between his hands." Holding the Holy Body of Christ", at the moment he held the Holy Grail, countless glorious angels descended and welcomed his soul into heaven. This Galahad is the son of the knight Lancelot.
It can be said that the Holy Grail still has some relationship with the British. It is not unreasonable for the reporter to say so. But that happened 2000 years ago, and there is no way to verify it. Could it be that the British were allowed to take away the Holy Grail just because of a legendary story? There is really no such reason in the world.
Although the current strength is not weak, there is still too much business in Xiangjiang. The British should try not to offend them as much as possible.
Bao Zixuan: "As for the Holy Grail, we are still not sure whether it is true or false; therefore, we will never make any transactions before the Vatican authenticates it. Of course, if the Vatican gives up, then we can only solve the problem of the final ownership of the Holy Grail through other means."
"If the British side agrees and the two sides can reach an agreement, there's nothing wrong with it."
After hearing Bao Zixuan's answer, the Christians present were very satisfied. At the same time, I feel the atmosphere of British arrogance. In the minds of most Christians, the Vatican is certainly the most orthodox existence. If the Holy Grail is genuine, then what's the point of putting it in the UK?
The symbolic objects of Christianity, that is, Christian holy objects, mainly include the golden ark, the Shroud of Turin, the Holy Grail, the Holy Foreskin, the True Cross, the Lance of Longinus, the Holy Nails, the Holy Crown of Thorns, the Holy Pal, the Holy Robe, and the Holy Saint. Bones, Icon of Christ, Scarab of Christ.
But the golden ark is also a sacred object of Judaism. If anyone dares to compete with Israel for it. It is estimated that Jews all over the world will give you trouble. Even the Vatican must pay attention to its influence and at least not dare to push the Jews too hard.
The True Cross was shattered by Saladin and it is impossible to get it back.
It is reasonable for the Knights Templar to be able to carry the True Cross to the Middle East and possess the Holy Grail at the same time. As a Christian holy relic, the Vatican will never give up. Even if it's a fake, but it comes from the Knights Templar, it probably won't be too fake.
As a Christian resort in the world, it seems that there is really no holy object. This is probably the eternal pain in the hearts of the Vatican. Now that the Holy Grail has been discovered, of course they cannot let it go.
Assuming that the Holy Grail really appears in the Vatican, its influence and sensation must not be ignored.
The reporters were quickly recording every word Bao Zixuan said, for fear of missing any details.
Fortunately, everything went very smoothly at the press conference, and at the same time, it achieved the goal set by Mr. Bao. The news has been released, so just wait for the fat fish to come over and negotiate. The initiative this time is completely in his hands.
The Jews were so rich that every household probably had a lot of good stuff; they would definitely have to spit out some of it.
