Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Seeing staff dressed in costumes from two auction houses sorting through Solomon's Temple artifacts, Haim-Herzog thought the negotiations might be more difficult than imagined. If they want to conduct a transaction, their previous quotation for the cultural relics of Solomon's Temple must be approved by the two auction houses. Bao Zixuan may not understand the value of art, but the two largest auction houses in the world are definitely experts.

They are working for Fucaira, and of course they have a preference in mind. Now I finally understand why the heads of the two auction houses came to Fucaira at the same time as the press conference was held.

It turns out that all of this was already prepared. At the same time, it is also in line with Bao Zixuan's character, he pays attention to efficiency in doing things, and always adheres to the principle of professionals doing professional things.

Although the Jews were very interested in the artifacts from Solomon's Temple. But they wanted to see what the golden ark actually looked like. After all, there were only painters who had painted sacred objects according to literature records; no one had ever seen what they looked like. And I also want to see what magic power there is in the Ten Commandments of Moses.

Of course Bao Zixuan knew what these Jews were thinking, so he brought them directly to the location of the Golden Ark.

Seeing the golden ark being placed on a platform, the Jews were quite satisfied. In fact, it would be like this for anyone. After all, if you still want to use this thing to bleed the Jews, of course you have to take it seriously.

Seeing Professor Farrelly's nod, all the Jews who came over knelt down to pray. Bao Zixuan was already used to this. To him, the golden ark might just be a valuable object. But for the Jews, it was a testimony of their communication with God. Now that I see the real thing, of course I have to pray sincerely.

It took about three minutes for the Jews present to stand up.

Professor Farrelly carefully opened the lid of the golden ark, and with the cooperation of others, took out the contents of the cabinet. Although it is not as magical as the legend, it is still shocking enough. After all, it is very rare that items can be preserved so well after 3,000 years. Seeing such exquisite decorations, the Jews all lamented the greatness of their ancestors.

All the Jews began to carefully read the Ten Commandments of Moses on the stone tablets. Many words could not be understood, but the general meaning had already been engraved in their minds.

After seeing everything, he reluctantly closed the golden ark.

After arriving in the reception room, Haim Herzog didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic. Jews all over the world are watching them; if he is given such an important task, if he cannot bring back the golden ark, then he is a sinner of the nation.

Although it was my first time to see the Golden Ark, I felt very familiar with it. So I instinctively thought that this one was the real thing. It's like there is a kind of magic power, which is probably incomprehensible to outsiders.

Chaim Herzog: "Mr. Bao, thank you for helping us find the Golden Ark. This holy object has been searched by the Jewish people for more than 2,000 years; at the same time, the Jewish people have also been wandering for more than 2,000 years."

"Although this sacred object once belonged to the Jews, it was found in Fucaira after all, both from a legal and moral perspective; the ownership of the golden ark now belongs to Fucaira; there is no doubt about this .”

"We Jews have always been very reasonable, and you can rest assured about that."

In fact, the first thing to say is to express your attitude. The purpose of coming here is to exchange for the golden Ark of the Covenant and the cultural relics of Solomon's Temple, and they will never forcefully obtain them through other means; this also reassures Bao Zixuan that the Jews will not deliberately cause trouble.

In fact, we are all smart people. If we declare our sovereignty when we come up, it will be difficult for negotiations to continue. This is good now, at least Bao Shaofu is still very comfortable in his heart. In fact, the Jews also know that the initiative lies in other people's hands; if they really do not agree to the exchange, then Israel can only worry about it.

Could it be that the war with Fucaira was really launched because of the golden ark? Although Fucairah's military strength is not weak, it may not be enough in front of Israel. But if the Soviet Union gets involved, it will be impossible to end it with dignity.

It's better to spend money to buy it to save yourself trouble.

Bao Zixuan: "I am very satisfied with the attitude of Israel. I have dealt with the Jews many times, and I still very much recognize the credibility of the Jewish nation."

"And since we are all acquaintances, it's better to be straightforward. Professor Farrelly happens to be here, and I want to know the specific valuation of the golden Ark of the Covenant by Israel."

When asked directly about the valuation of the Golden Ark of the Covenant, Haim Herzog certainly understood what it meant. If the valuation of the Golden Ark can satisfy the other party, then everything is easy to negotiate. The other party cannot recognize the valuation of the golden ark. Then we can only go back and make plans again to avoid wasting each other's time.

In business negotiations, the party who makes the first offer will suffer a certain loss. But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be fired, and the Jewish nation has no other choice.

Chaim Herzog said very seriously: "Although the golden ark cannot be measured by simple value. Mr. Bao is not a Jew, so he may not understand it very well. But now the Jewish nation must bring it back to Israel . And we also know what Mr. Bao means, that is, it needs to be exchanged for works of art of equal value."

"Any art has a price, so we are willing to offer 10 billion US dollars of art in exchange for the golden ark. I think the Jews will not let you down in terms of sincerity."

After hearing that the other party's first offer was US$10 billion, Bao Zixuan knew that this might also be the final offer. The most expensive piece of art in the world right now is the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum in France. The world's major auction institutions only value it at US$1 billion. Now the Jews are willing to pay ten times the price for the golden ark. Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable.

If prices were raised, the Jews might bite the bullet and agree. But in the future, the relationship was over. For him, more or less doesn't matter at all now.

Bao Zixuan: "I admire the sincerity of the Jewish people in bringing back the golden ark. Just follow what the President said, and Fucairah recognizes this valuation."

After hearing this, the Jewish people finally felt relieved.

I'm really afraid that if this little lion opens his mouth, the negotiation will become extremely difficult.

Chaim Herzog said with a smile: "Mr. Bao is indeed a resolute person. On behalf of the Jewish nation, I would like to express my gratitude."

"As for other items, the specific pricing will be left to the two auction houses."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan immediately understood what it meant. The Jews are really confident, otherwise the old boy would never say this.

But if you think about it carefully, you will feel that this trick is very clever.

Sotheby's and Christie's were both invited by Bao Zixuan. Strictly speaking, he is serving Fucairah. But now the Jews have also handed over the pricing power of their own artworks. On the surface, it seems easy to get into trouble. But they are very confident, that is, the two major auction houses will never dare to cheat the Jews.

Bao Zixuan is indeed very rich. He is currently the richest man in the world. There is no doubt about this. However, both major auction houses are headquartered in the UK and will have to deal with Jews in the future. And even now, Jews hold significant shares in both companies. I would never dare to harm the interests of the Jewish nation just to please Bao Zixuan.

Exchange should be fair, just and open. These are the basic rules of the game.

It is estimated that Bao Zixuan also has this idea, otherwise he will definitely form his own team; he will not let the two auction houses participate. Since neither party has thought about taking advantage of anyone, there is no need to engage in petty tricks.

Bao Zixuan: "Your courage is really admirable. I will do as you say. I am a layman when it comes to artworks, so I will leave it to professionals."

"But there are some works of art that I need to keep; please understand this. After all, I also want to build a museum, and there must be some decent objects in it."

What the Jews value most is the golden ark and the temple drawings. If you can get both of them, the others don't matter. After all, it is impossible to exchange all the art items collected at this moment.

Moreover, the cultural relics belong to Bao Zixuan, so any decision should be made. Being able to say hello in advance shows that someone is still very open-hearted.

Haim Herzog did not hesitate and agreed directly.

When the Jews left, what they didn't expect was that Bao Zixuan actually asked him to take away the golden ark. The reason given was simple: it was not safe in Fucairah; he would not be able to sleep!

At the same time, he expressed his absolute belief in the credibility of the Jews, as long as a few people on site signed their names on the handover document.
