Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

The bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. It was a red bronze statue made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1860, the British and French allied forces invaded China and burned the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze animal head statues began to be lost overseas.

Haiyan Hall, a historic site in the Old Summer Palace, was built in 1759. The word "Haiyan" means "the river is clear and Haiyan, the country is peaceful and the people are safe". "Wenyuan Yinghua" Tang Zhengxi's "The King of Japan and China": "The river is clear and Haiyan, the time is harmonious and the age is good".

Feng" river, Yellow River; Yan, calm. "He Qing Hai Yan" is also called "Hai Yan He Qing", meaning

It refers to the clear water flow of the Yellow River and the calm waves of the sea. This word is used to metaphorize the peace of the world and has the auspicious meaning of praising world peace. This is also where the name of the ornamental and practical building "Haiyan Hall" in the Yuanmingyuan, the Chinese royal garden, comes from. The essence of this architectural complex

——The twelve zodiac bronze statues use water to tell the time and are world-famous.

The animal head was designed by Castiglione, a Jesuit priest stationed in China. He used the twelve zodiac animals with an animal head and human body to represent the twenty-four hours of the day. Each bronze statue sprayed water in turn, creating a spectacle.

Bao Zixuan clearly remembers that in his previous life in 1985, an American antique dealer accidentally discovered a bronze statue of a horse head in the Old Summer Palace in a private residence in California, along with bronze statues of an ox head and a tiger head. The antique dealer named each

I bought these three bronze heads at a low price of US$1,500.

Of course, he cannot take advantage of others in this matter. He wants to find the twelve animal heads of the Old Summer Palace with his own hands. He can put them in the Heiyun Museum in the future, which can be regarded as a good thing for the country.

You must know that the prices of the animal heads auctioned in the Old Summer Palace in later generations are more expensive than the previous ones. And they have increased exponentially. Now is the time to spend small money to do big things.

Before coming to Los Angeles, Bao Zixuan had arranged for people from Heiyun's California branch to start searching. The hard work paid off, and the horse's head was quickly found.

But there is one thing that makes Bao Zixuan very puzzled. In his previous life in 1985, an antique dealer sold the business for 1,500 US dollars. I don’t know why, but the owner is unwilling to sell it. And knowing that the other party is an employee of Heiyun Group, Bao Zixuan insists on coming to the door in person.

.

Hearing that Heiyun employees wanted to buy, Bao Zixuan actually asked Bao Zixuan to come to the door in person. What kind of logic is this? Heiyun employees did not dare to agree. After all, the boss's schedule is very full, and they can't do such a small thing well. There is also a problem with their ability.

; Can only reply and report the seller’s request.

What the employees didn't expect was that the boss actually agreed to meet with the seller. It was just a few faucets, but he didn't expect that the boss actually liked it.

With the identity and status of the richest man Bao, being able to take a fancy to these copper animal heads shows that this thing is not simple. In fact, no one is stupid. If he is just an ordinary antique dealer, the seller may not ask for a sky-high price. But who can do it?

It seems that people should not be too high-profile when their identity is exposed. Especially the people below should be restrained.

If you are too high-profile and arrogant, you can easily be taken advantage of. Everyone knows that Bao Zixuan is rich and Heiyun Group is powerful. If you want to buy good items in the future, you will definitely have to pay a high price. It seems that there are some things that American employees really cannot be allowed to come forward.

They don't understand the rules of the antique shop at all.

Since he wanted to get the Yuanmingyuan items and he was in Los Angeles, it was no longer possible to hide it. The gossip media had already reported the news that Bao, the richest man, had come to Hollywood to meet his lover secretly.

Many American gossip media have reported that Bao Zixuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, came to Hollywood to secretly meet his lover. The woman is a beautiful star of Chinese descent, Phoebe Kayci, and there are pictures and truth, so the credibility is very high.

Bao Zixuan also thought that the media would report it, but he didn't expect the report to be so ridiculous. He had to call Eva Bowman and ask her to say sorry. He should apologize for causing trouble to this little girl.

.

However, Phoebe Kaici didn't think so at this time, and her agent even more so. This was a good opportunity to increase her reputation, and there was no shame in being related to Bao Zixuan.

At this time, the agent is planning how to maximize profits. After all, several film companies are already looking for her. They all want to take advantage of this popularity, and capital has a very strong sense of and control over information.

Bao Zixuan can no longer take care of these things. He has been delayed for a long time at this time. He cannot waste time and rush back to Detroit in the shortest possible time. The George Patton military vehicle still needs him to preside over the design, and it may be too late to leave it to others to make progress.

Since he decided to look for the Twelve Beast Hands of the Old Summer Palace, and the seller also asked him to come forward, Bao Zixuan came to the seller's house without hesitation, which made the couple feel incredible.

I didn't expect that Bao Zixuan would really come. It was more of a joke and a test before. Seeing that this super rich man attached so much importance, the seller and his wife knew that they would definitely make a fortune this time. With Bao Zixuan's financial resources, they would not care at all.

Thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The sellers are a middle-aged couple, and the neighbors call the male owner Garcia, which is a common surname in the United States.

Seeing Bao Zixuan come in, the host said enthusiastically: "I'm really sorry for asking Mr. Bao to go there in person. I have no other intention, I just want to see you; it can be considered as someone to talk about in front of friends."

That's what he said, but no one believed it. It must have been for the sake of selling more money, and there was no interaction at all before, so Bao Zixuan hadn't reached the point where everyone worshiped him.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "I happened to be in Los Angeles in the past few days, so I stopped by to take a look. Mr. Garcia, you are welcome. How much do you want for the three items? As long as it is not excessive. Heiyun can take over and you will not suffer any loss.

"

With this transaction amount, Mr. Bao should not have come forward. But who let the American employees mess up the matter? It is really uncomfortable to negotiate in this kind of negotiation where people are obviously being taken advantage of.

Garcia: "Mr. Bao is a super rich man and will never let us suffer any loss. You can pay as much as you want. I will never raise the price."

This move is very cruel. As long as Bao Zixuan wants to face him, he will definitely not take advantage of ordinary people. This is where Garcia's confidence lies.

In the previous life, the price of each animal head was US$1,500, and that was two years later. But now it is purchased by Bao Zixuan, one of the richest people in the world. The other party will definitely not be satisfied with this price, and he cannot afford to embarrass that person in person.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "We are all smart people. How much does Mr. Garcia think this thing is worth? You can quote me. If you are not satisfied with the price I offered, then you just said it again. In order not to suffer a loss, it is better to follow the price

Follow the rules."

Knowing what Bao Zixuan meant, after some exchanges, the Garcias said: "Mr. Bao is a busy man, and we don't dare to occupy you for too long; how about the price of each animal head is 20,000 US dollars."

The price was carefully considered, and it was a bit deceptive if it was too high. Even if Bao Zixuan bought it back, he would still feel angry. If he just moved his fingers, the couple would not be able to afford it.

The price is very reasonable now. If it were too low, it would look down on Bao Zixuan, a super rich man.

Although the purchase price of antique merchants in previous lives has increased by more than 10 times, who asked the richest man Bao to come forward to buy it?

Bao Zixuan: "Just do as Mr. Garcia said, and the staff will handle it next."

Seeing that Bao Zixuan was about to leave, Garcia quickly said: "Mr. Bao, we have established a friendship now. Can you tell me what this is for, and let me figure it out."

"At the same time, I am also very curious, how did you know that we have these animal heads in our house."

Fortunately, Bao Zixuan was prepared and said with a smile: "These animal heads are Chinese cultural relics and are not of a very high level. Therefore, they have little artistic value. However, because the place where they are placed is famous, they have a certain value. It just so happens that I want to build one

The museum can be regarded as making the best use of everything.”

"Actually, I have collected cultural relics not only from you, but also from all over the world. The museum needs a lot of cultural relics and is currently working hard to collect them. If you are interested, you can search for them and then sell them to me at a high price. You will never suffer a loss."

This explanation is very reasonable, at least the Garcias can't find anything wrong with it. With Bao Zixuan's financial resources and strength, it is normal to establish a museum. In the United States, most museums are donated and built by wealthy people, so there is nothing surprising.

As for being able to find things in their home, it's quite normal. Bao Zixuan is so rich, there will definitely be many people working for him, so it's normal to find out about their home.

Although I spent tens of thousands of dollars more, these are small things. Being able to get three Yuanmingyuan animal heads is well worth the expense.

The purchase of three treasures started Bao Zixuan's treasure hunt for the Old Summer Palace animal heads. The cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace were destined to belong to the Heiyun Group. Who made the first move was Bao Zixuan, the collectors and enterprises in mainland China who had not accumulated much funds at this time.

Arranging employees to send the three animal heads back to Xiangjiang, Bao Zixuan took a special plane and flew to Detroit, where he wanted to develop a new military vehicle. Even if he couldn't win the bid, he would still create some problems for the U.S. military and other automobile manufacturers.
