Zhu Yu immediately asked Cathy for advice.
"Mr. Zhu Yu, you should know the British Museum, right?"
"I know." Although Zhu Yu has never been there, he knows very well that there are treasures plundered from all over the world by the British Empire.
Including many cultural relics from China.
"Many people are asking whether there are any British cultural relics in the British Museum. In fact, there are." Cathy brought the tea to Zhu Yu and said with a smile: "That was unearthed from Wales, gold from more than three thousand years ago. shawl."
She pointed at the war skirt and said:
"The gold shawl comes from the Molde region in northern Wales. Everyone calls it the Molde shawl. The craftsmanship of this war skirt is exactly the same as that one. They are all beaten and carved, and the patterns are also very similar."
Zhu Yu was a little confused:
"It's not that the history of Britain can only be traced back to the Celtic tribal era. That's still a legend, not history - an era like our Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
That should have been before 1,000 BC, that is, 3,000 years ago. It was the tribal era, and the only things used were stone tools and pottery.
How could there have been such exquisite gold products hundreds of thousands of years ago? "
Zhu Yu's suspicion is not without problems. After all, much of Western history cannot withstand scrutiny. It comes either from legends, poetry, or even the imaginative creations of some people in the Middle Ages.
Basically, there is no such situation in China that has recorded history from ancient times to the present.
So what's going on with this golden war dress and that golden shawl in the history museum?
Cathy nodded and said:
"This is also something that troubles many historians. The gold shawl was dug out of the mine by the miners in the 1880s and came out of the tomb. At that time, it was still on the owner of the tomb. Then it was broken into pieces. , divided by those miners.
There were some other things in the tomb at that time, and they were all taken away.
Later, local officials discovered these things and began to trace their origins, but after all, that happened more than a hundred years ago, and no traces could be found, including the bones of the tomb owner.
Moreover, historians have found no ruins in the Molde area of Wales that can prove this thing... This cultural relic has become an orphan. "
Having said this, she looked at the battle skirt under Zhu Yu's hand, sighed and said:
"I never thought I could see something like this here!"
Zhu Yu told the origin of this war skirt, and Cathy also thought it was amazing. It was unbelievable!
Zhu Yu was still not sure. He felt that he needed someone to identify the war skirt.
Of course, if someone offers you the right price, you can sell it.
The next day, Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and others to the goods yard and asked Jason to check where the container containing gypsum was sent from.
Jason is organizing some containers to be put together in preparation for tomorrow's auction.
After hearing Zhu Yu's instructions, he immediately went to find it. After a while, the container's manifest and other information were brought over.
"Boss, when I purchased these containers, I guessed that they might be used, so I brought over all the manifests."
Jason was a little proud, he smiled and handed over the bill of goods with both hands.
Zhu Yu took it over and saw that the container was indeed sent from the UK, but there was no information about the consignor or the consignee. Just send it to New York port.
There are a lot of these containers. After they are delivered, someone will drive over with a pick-up list to pick them up.
It seems that it is indeed the Molde shawl, and it most likely comes from the same place!
Zhu Yu was a little excited. This kind of thing may be just an antique in your own hands, but it will be of great use in the hands of those who are eager to prove that the British Isles have ancient history!
"Boss, can you come to the container auction tomorrow?" Jason asked cautiously after seeing that Zhu Yu had read the cargo list.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yu saw that something was wrong with Jason and asked, "Why am I here to see you?"
"Yesterday, Boss, gold products were found in the container you were bidding on. The news has spread. I estimate that many people will come over tomorrow to try their luck. If Boss, you still participate in the auction tomorrow, you will definitely attract more people."
Jason explained, then chuckled:
"Boss, if you are here to do this once, the bidding for the containers in my warehouse will be very popular for at least a month! This warehouse is very popular and makes a lot of money. If you are happy, I can also earn more!"
Zhu Yu didn't expect Jason to be so honest, but since he said it, he had nothing to do, so he would go check it out tomorrow.
Before the bidding started the next day, Zhu Yu asked Jason to adjust the position of the containers and place them in piles. If he was not around for a while, at least every container would be guaranteed to have a hit during the auction.
Sure enough, it was as Jason said, because yesterday a gold war dress was opened in the container, and it was obviously not a game - after all, there was no need to be so complicated and put gold products into plaster statues.
Anyone who is interested can guess that if Zhu Yu or Jason were to take action, it would be simpler and just put valuable machinery or cars in the container, which would be very eye-catching.
Old treasure hunters such as Old Madden, Diana, and the big and small Qiao Yin brothers all rushed here.
Seeing Zhu Yu, everyone came up to say hello.
Zhu Yu is now regarded as an upstart in the treasure hunting world, involved in many treasure hunting fields, and his level is much higher than their treasure hunting in containers.
The bald auctioneer also recognized Zhu Yu, said hello, and introduced the first container to his assistant:
"This container was sent from Spain. The customs declaration states that it is some furniture. Next we will open the container. Everyone has one minute to observe and cannot cross the line..."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, he asked his assistant to cut the lock of the container and open the iron door.
These people ignored chatting with Zhu Yu and began to observe the furniture in the container.
Zhu Yu glanced at it. Some of the furniture was covered, and some were displayed in front of everyone.
He knew that there was very wrong mahogany furniture inside. Mahogany furniture is considered to be relatively expensive furniture in the world, and it was covered.
Some bidders should be able to guess it, but Zhu Yu just watched.
There's better stuff to come.
But as soon as the auctioneer started shouting, Zhu Yu's cell phone rang.
Seeing that it was Old John's number, Zhu Yu was a little confused, but he guessed that there might be a business coming to his door.
Old John would not call him under normal circumstances. If he did, then something would definitely happen.
After answering the phone, Old John's voice came over:
"Zhu, where are you?"
"I'm in the goods yard." Zhu Yu immediately replied, "If anything happens, I'll be there right away."
"Then come here and introduce you to a customer who wants to buy what you have."
John hung up the phone, and Zhu Yu had just taken two steps when his cell phone rang again.
It's Joanna's.
Zhu Yu picked up and said:
"Dear, class is over?"
"I finished reading and was taking a rest. When I was browsing videos on my mobile phone, I found that someone took a photo of you and posted it online.
The point is that others recognized the battle skirt you knocked out of the plaster statue, saying it was very similar to an antique..."
Zhu Yu was a little surprised and asked:
“Are many people watching this video?”
"There are so many! There have been more than 200,000 clicks and more than 10,000 replies. Many people said that you have become rich! Some people even said that they are the owners of this war skirt and they want to find you to take it back..."
Joanna naturally said the latter sentence with a smile. After all, there are rules in the container auction industry. If you don't take it after the expiration date, it will automatically be regarded as a waiver.
Zhu Yu didn't take this sentence seriously. The point was that with so many people reading it, the news would spread more widely.
The playback volume of foreign videos is different from that of domestic videos. After all, of all the countries in the world, China has the most mobile phone users.
With hundreds of millions of clicks at every turn, it’s just China’s video.
With hundreds of thousands or millions of clicks abroad, it is already a hit.
He guessed that John asked him to introduce the customer, and most likely the customer came because of the dress.
Zhu Yu walked to the tavern while chatting with Joanna.
Ran Jie and three others immediately stepped forward to protect him. The environment around here is too complicated, and Zhu Yu has been blocked more than once. Ran Jie and the others don't want anything to happen to their boss.
Jason knew that something was wrong with Zhu Yu, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, Zhu Yu's presence today has attracted enough popularity. Moreover, with Zhu Yu's current status, it is indeed not suitable to stay here and bid for containers with these people.
Zhu Yu's departure made people like Madeng very happy.
Zhu Yu is famous for his good luck. Although he has not participated in container auctions at the port for a long time, his fame is still there.
He is no longer in the world, but the world still has his legend.
As long as Zhu Yu appears, there should be good things in the container.
Now that Zhu Yu suddenly left, Lao Madeng and the others were naturally happy - they had good things and lost a strong competitor. Wouldn't that mean there was one more opportunity to make a fortune?
Zhu Yu didn't know what they were thinking and came to the Seven Axes Bar.
There were a lot more people in the wine room and it was more lively than before.
Zhu Yu asked Ran Jie and the three of them to find a table and sit down, and he came to the counter.
Old John saw Zhu Yu coming and said with a smile:
"You've been making a lot of noise recently. Even I, a person who doesn't usually look at my phone, have heard about it."
He paused and said with emotion:
"You're such a lucky boy."
Zhu Yu smiled:
"I also think I have good luck. Especially here..." He looked around the bar and said, "I got my best luck from here."
Although he didn't say it clearly, John was obviously amused by Zhu Yu's words, and he also answered:
"I also think that this bar gave me my good luck."
He pointed to a thirty-year-old white man sitting in the corner and said:
"The man's name is Tauris, from England. His father is an old friend of mine. He was once a successful businessman and ran a multinational trading company.
Now Tauris's father, Gunn, has retired and handed the company over to him. He usually flies between Britain and the United States doing business. This time I came to me in the hope of buying that golden battle dress from you..."
Zhu Yu thought that this was indeed the case!
But I haven’t identified it yet!
He told John about it.
"When you were knocking on the plaster statue, someone took a video. Tauris specially asked someone to enlarge the video in high definition, and then asked an expert to identify it. According to the expert he hired, it should be a three-thousand-year-old statue. A cultural relic from many years ago. It is of the same era, period and shape as the golden shawl in the British Museum."
When John said this, he asked Zhu Yu:
"You should know about that golden shawl, right?"
"I just found out yesterday." Zhu Yu answered honestly, "I think I still have a lot to learn."
"Not bad, not bad," John said with a smile, "You are very honest, but there is no need. No one can be versatile, not even God. By the way, I see that your temperament has changed a lot today, is there anything new? What’s gained? I mean besides the war skirt?”
Zhu Yu smiled and nodded.
Zhu Yu did not elaborate, and John also knew that he could not ask in detail on this occasion. He smiled happily and said: "Zhu, your luck is really very good! But this also has something to do with your character. I know you are a good person, Keep it up! Well, go over and talk to Tauris, he is worth tens of billions and has enough money to buy that war dress."
Zhu Yu asked:
"Then you get a commission, right?"
"certainly."
"Then I understand." Zhu Yu smiled, "As long as the price is right, I will definitely sell it. But if you can raise the price a little more, I won't let it go."
There are only two pieces in the world, and that one piece was broken and put back together, and it is not complete.
Since I have such a complete set of items in my hand, I naturally want to spend a lot of money on it.
Zhu Yu walked over and sat opposite Tauris.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu." Tauris had already noticed Zhu Yu after he appeared.
In the video of the golden battle dress, Zhu Yu showed his face, so Tauris could naturally recognize him.
Zhu Yu sat down here, and Ran Jie and three others also sat nearby.
Zhu Yu had actually discovered that the two strong white men in black suits on the table next to Tauris should be Tauris's bodyguards.
"Hello, Mr. Tauris." Zhu Yu also greeted, "I heard that you are interested in that golden battle dress?"
"Yes." Tauris didn't expect Zhu Yu to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment before saying.
"Are you sure it's from the same era as Molde's golden shawl?" Zhu Yu asked curiously, "You've never seen the real thing."
"I asked famous historians in our country and staff from the British Museum to watch the video." Tauris said directly, "Of course, I can actually say that I am not sure about this. But you and I are both There is no need for a person with status to use such small means, right?"
Zhu Yu didn't expect that Tauris would speak like this. He nodded and said:
"That's true. Okay, let's talk about the price now, shall we?"
"Actually, I still want to see things first. I invited you here today because I actually want to see you as a person and ask if you have any intention to sell. Now that you have the intention to sell, should we change to a more formal occasion? Negotiate this deal with the environment?”
"Of course." Zhu Yu nodded in agreement.
