Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and others away, and the war skirt was taken into the space again.
From Zhu Yu's point of view, it would take Tauris a few months to get things done, right?
It will take at least half a month, otherwise, it is very likely that you will be perfunctory.
In fact, when Zhu Yu raised such high conditions, he also knew that Taurisi would not be able to take out the Dunhuang secret scrolls stored in the British Museum.
Although Zhu Yu knew that Huang Kan was collecting annotations on the Analects of Confucius during the Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties, after all, the commonly used annotations on the Analects of Confucius in China were those of He Yan in the later period. It will be many years later.
But it is impossible to get them back. It is impossible for the British Museum to take these things out, and it is unlikely that Tauris has the ability to retrieve these things.
But Zhu Yu proposed a difficult goal with the purpose of asking Tauris to work hard. Maybe there will be any surprises?
If you take it from above, you will get it from within; if you take it from it, you will get it from below; if you take it from below, you will get nothing.
Zhu Yu did the opposite and set the highest goal for Tauris. If he could get something above average, he would be satisfied.
However, just to be on the safe side, he contacted Smith and told him that Tauris planned to acquire Chinese cultural relics worth one billion US dollars in exchange for the golden war dress.
If the customer he contacts does not have this ability, then forget it.
Of course, as long as it is a Chinese cultural relic, you can take it and look at it, and Zhu Yu can judge it himself.
Smith knew as soon as he heard that the matter might not work. He promised to answer the question, but there was no guarantee that the other party would agree.
Zhu Yu had no idea about this. It is unique in the world of things and things, so he is not afraid of not finding a buyer.
Of course, he was not the only one who thought so, Tauris also thought so.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Tauris called his assistant on the same day and asked his assistant to search all over the world for sale. Anything with a price within a few hundred million dollars can be negotiated!
Of course, he would not give Zhu Yu a lot of catalogs to choose from. Although Tao Ruisi could see that Zhu Yu had the kind of thinking of a low-level commoner, he was not easy to do.
Of course, it is not realistic for a person to change from an ordinary person's thinking to that of a super rich person in half a year.
There are too many people who get rich overnight, but their behavior is still quite naive even after three or five years.
This week, while Zhu Yu was dating Joanna normally, he received seven calls from people interested in purchasing the golden dress.
However, the bids were all below US$100 million. Another one wanted to fool Zhu Yu into thinking that he was a newbie and quoted US$500,000.
What made Zhu Yu dumbfounded the most was that there was a man who claimed to be the original owner of the golden war dress and asked Zhu Yu to hand it over obediently or else his whole family would be killed.
Then Zhu Yu pretended to be a sheep and agreed, and when he took Ran Jie and the others to the meeting, he found out that it was a gangster in New York City who came up with the idea after accidentally knowing about this incident.
He was beaten violently by Ran Jie and the other two people very neatly.
A week later, Tauris called Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, there is a batch of bronzes in London now. Do you have time to take a look? It would be bad luck for those things to go here."
In fact, Tauris didn't know if Zhu Yu could definitely exchange these things. If it was certain, it would be fine, but if he was not sure, he would have to find it again. So I don't plan to ship it to New York yet.
"Do you have any photos?" Zhu Yu didn't want to make this trip in vain.
"My assistant will send you a photo later." Tao Ruisi didn't think he would have any interactions with Zhu Yu, so he didn't leave a social media account.

After a while, Zhu Yu received more than a dozen photos.
A dozen photos, not a dozen bronzes!
At this time, Zhu Yu was watching those people bidding in the goods yard.
Now that he is no longer involved, with him here and Jason speaking a few more times, the bidding every two days will be arranged well.
Although Zhu Yu had an eye, he no longer paid attention to the thirty to fifty thousand profits in the container.
The three of Ran Jie were protecting the surroundings. At this time, they were a little surprised when they saw Zhu Yu's expression suddenly became very strange.
In recent days, all those who called Zhu Yu wanted to buy war skirts.
Except for the one or two who couldn't see themselves clearly, the others all had a very calm tone, and were even very enthusiastic to the point of being fawning.
After all, if you can get this golden battle dress, you will definitely become popular!
So it was really surprising that Ran Jie suddenly had this expression today.
Looking at the treasures in the photos, Zhu Yu really had mixed feelings.
Although he was an outsider and just looked at the photos, he was basically certain that these things should be real.
There is an introduction at the end of the photo.
"My grandfather's father originally bought these things. They just kept them in the basement of our house. Because except him, no one else in our family likes this kind of stuff.
If we hadn't recently sold our old house, these items would still be sitting in the basement. "
This should be a sentence left by the original owner, which was finally sent to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu immediately called Tauris:
"Where is the thing in London? I'll go there now."
"London suburbs, when you get there, contact my assistant Ewen." Tauris was a little happy after hearing Zhu Yu's words.
If Zhu Yu is sure that he can exchange this batch of things, he will make a lot of money!
Of course, Zhu Yu was sure that if all these things were given to him, he would also make a lot of money!
However, Zhu Yu was self-aware, and he felt that Taoris meant that he should pick a few of these things.
After all, to be honest, as long as a few of them have inscriptions, then he will fly!
Of course, Zhu Yu's heart twitched when he saw the bronzes that could be regarded as national treasures stacked together in the photo.
What he wants to do most now is to go over and take a look at these things. As long as they are not made by the village in China last week, but made by Dongxi Zhou, then he must save these things immediately!
It’s heartbreaking to see such precious things piled up haphazardly like rubbish!
Zhu Yu rented a plane and flew to London that night!
When he arrived in London, Zhu Yu had no intention of resting and called Ai Wen directly.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu." Ai Wen is a tall, elegantly dressed white-collar worker with short blond hair. She wears round-rimmed glasses and looks a bit intellectual.
He looks about twenty-four or five years old, but he is very capable.
"Hello, can I go see those bronzes now?"
Ewen herself works as an administrative assistant and knows almost nothing about cultural relics.
It was just that when Tauris assigned tasks to her subordinates, she followed the arrangement and talked to her classmates and friends. As a result, a high school classmate claimed that he had a bunch of things at home that seemed to be Chinese cultural relics.
In fact, most people abroad do not understand or care about so-called foreign things.
For example, this classmate of Ai Wen's ancestors had such a collection, but he was not interested in it, so he didn't understand it and didn't take care of it.
If it wasn't for the move, these things would have been gathering dust in the basement, unnoticed.
Many overseas cultural relics have emerged in this way over the years.
Of course, there are also those who specialize in deceiving Chinese people into picking up leaks, but they basically belong to the professional circle.
For ordinary people, the chance of coming into contact with Chinese people is very small, just like the chance that ordinary Chinese people can come into contact with foreigners is very rare.
That is to say, in recent years in China, due to the popularity of treasure appraisal, collection and other programs, it seems that collecting is very popular among the people. Even in the village, people know that old things are valuable.
It's a great collection.
Otherwise, who would know the value of their own pickle vat or the porcelain dish for feeding cats?
As soon as Ewen got the news, she immediately went to see it, took photos, and then reported it to her superiors.
They went to Tauris one by one, and then after Tauris personally screened them, Zhu Yu was asked to take a look at these first.
After all, it is more in line with what Zhu Yu said. And some of the others I found were too expensive.
Ai Wen originally planned to treat Zhu Yu and the others to a meal first, and then go see something.
The group left the reception of Zhu Yu and the others to her, which put a lot of pressure on Ai Wen.
After all, this is a task assigned by the top management of the group, and the bonus alone is as high as 100,000 euros!
Of course, that's if it's done.
So Ai Wen paid great attention to it and even dressed up specially today.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu's first words were to go and see something.
For a moment, she even wondered if she was not charming enough? Why did these four young men only pay attention to me twice?
However, the VIP’s requirements must be met as best as possible.
She nodded quickly and said:
"Okay, but why don't you guys go get something to eat first? I've already made a reservation at the restaurant."
"Let's go see something first." Zhu Yu said, "Only after I see something will I have the appetite to eat."
Ai Wen led Zhu Yu and the others into the business car arranged by the company and went to her classmate Kelly's home.
Ewen did not tell Kelly that Zhu Yu was a distinguished guest from the group's top management, but she only said that she had helped her contact someone who wanted to buy Chinese cultural relics.
Kelly was very happy. She could get rid of the things in the basement, save on disposal fees, and make some money. Naturally, she was happy.
Half an hour later, the commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance of a large courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
Looking at the exterior wall of this courtyard, it has a history of dozens or hundreds of years. The stone walls are mottled, and the vines climbing on them are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, giving it a sense of age.
Egwene stepped forward to call the door, and soon, a woman of about the same age opened the door. Compared with Egwene, Kelly was much fatter, half a head shorter, about 1.6 meters tall, and had freckles all over her face.
Zhu Yu guessed that this person should be married.
"Oh, Ewen, I'm so happy to see you!" Kelly smiled and hugged Ewen, then looked at Zhu Yu and the others and whispered:
"Are these handsome guys coming to buy my rags? These guys are really handsome. Egwene, if I were you, I would definitely seduce him!"
Ewen's face turned red, and she said in the ear of Kelly, who was embarrassed:
"They understand English."
"What?" Kelly was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "I thought...well, actually I'm helping you. Come in!"
Kelly let several people into the yard.
The main building is a three-story building. It can be seen that this family is relatively wealthy.
However, the building is now a bit dilapidated, and it has obviously not been repaired for a long time.
Kelly took him directly to a small room at the back of the yard and said:
"There is an entrance to the basement here. Come on, I'll take you in and take a look. These things have been there for a long time and are already rusty."
She opened the door of the small house, pulled the light cord to turn on the light, then walked to the wall, bent down and lifted an iron door.
Ran Jie hurriedly stepped forward to help and fixed the iron cover, revealing a downward staircase.
Zhu Yu saw that there were some machines in this small room. He guessed that these things might be used to maintain the temperature and humidity in the basement. However, these machines were also rusty and had obviously been out of use for a long time.
Kelly said as she walked down:
"The space down here is relatively large, but it's quite messy. We almost don't come down. After all, we're not interested in these things."
After walking down, there is a door at the end of the steps, but it is not locked.
Kelly opened the door and said:
"Some things are broken, and there are still less than two pieces - thieves came here some time ago. When they were discovered, they were climbing over the wall with two things. When they saw us, they were so scared that they threw away the things and broke them. …”
"Where are the fragments?" Zhu Yu asked hurriedly.
Kelly said matter-of-factly: "Throw it away! I threw it away a long time ago. It's all broken. Do you want to pick it up again? It's all rusted like that..."
As he spoke, he entered the basement.
The interior is well decorated, but it must have been opened for a long time, and there is a strange smell in the air.
Metallic rust smell.
But Zhu and the others didn't pay attention. Their eyes were all on the piles of stacked utensils!
At least more than a hundred pieces!
Zhu Yu swore that he had never seen as many bronzes in his life as he had seen today! So complete!
The small ones include jue, horns, spoons, arrowheads, and the large ones include tripod, ke, zun, plate, etc.
Looking at the space in this basement, it was supposed to be filled with shelves. But now they are all piled on the ground.
It used to have a shelf, so you could put a lot of it in the same space, and it was three-dimensional. Now because it is spread out on the floor, there is less space, so many things are crowded together, and many of them have lost parts due to collisions.
At this moment, Zhu Yu had the intention to kill!
With his eyes open, he already knew that these things were all real and none of them were fake!
Judging from the rust on it, it must have been unearthed at least nearly a hundred years ago and then transported here.
Historically, in the 1920s and 1930s, due to weather conditions and the emergence of large numbers of thieves, many bronzes emerged from the ground in large numbers and were bought cheaply and lost overseas.
This group should have gone abroad at that time.
Looking at these things that should have been called national treasures and stayed in museums to be admired by Chinese descendants to remember the lives of their ancestors, are now placed here like rags.
Zhu Yu was really distressed!
Even Ran Jie and the other three, who didn't quite understand, clenched their fists at this moment!
It’s so frustrating!
