Chapter 217 I Don't Plan To Spend Money
"Okay, I see," Zhang Menglong hung up the phone, took two deep breaths and regained his composure.
"Mr. Zhang, I think you can mobilize much more assets than us, right?" Lu Fei was not only complimenting Zhang Mengyu, but also wanted to inquire about how much money Zhang Mengyu had.
"This time I am preparing [-] million euros. I believe the two presidents should bring more money than me?" Li Hong said proactively.
"I have prepared [-] million euros!" Ma Yun said with a smile.
"So do I!"
"Good guy, are you playing a show off contest?" Zhang Mengyu complained in his heart, but in front of him, he was just a younger brother.
"Strange, this auction is worth so much?" Zhang Mengyu also asked the biggest question in his heart, "I remember that the auction with the largest turnover in the world so far is only 7.3 million U.S. dollars. With so much money, we have to book the venue.”
"No, Mr. Zhang, you are wrong," Ma Hua said, "Ten years ago, we also thought the same way when we first came to this auction. At that time, I only brought 5000 million U.S. dollars. I thought I could buy a lot of good things back home, but in the end I didn’t even bring back a single thing!”
"So exaggerated?" Zhang Mengyu was a little surprised. At world-class auctions, the most common high-priced auction items are some artists' works or precious treasures such as the heart of the ocean, but the price is at most several thousand Ten thousand dollars, and it is generally already the finale.
Ordinary auction items are worth a million dollars at most, and you can't buy anything for 5000 million dollars. Isn't this bullshit?
"You don't know about that," Ma Hua said, "Although the auction is held by Frank's Royal Auction House, they are actually just the undertaker. The real seller is a very mysterious organization."
"Oh? How mysterious can it be?" Zhang Menglong's curiosity was aroused.
"It's very mysterious. It is said that there are all kinds of people in it, such as artists, archaeologists, chemical experts, and even arms dealers. They use various channels to search for all kinds of valuable things all over the world. , I even heard that the origin of some things is very unclean!" Ma Hua lowered her voice when she said this.
"Good guy, it's no wonder they auction things in such a wild way. They sell planes, tanks and destroyers for a while, and even our Huaxia Tai'a for a while."
"Mr. Zhang was also at the auction ten years ago?" Ma Hua asked in surprise.The auctions organized by this organization have never been advertised to the outside world, and have always been spread only in a small top-level circle. If it wasn't for the people who participated in the auction or their relatives, they would have no idea what was sold.
Obviously, what Zhang Mengyu just said was the finale of the last auction, but in his impression, he didn't seem to have seen a Huaxia child in his early ten years at that auction, right?
"I didn't go, my dad did," Zhang Mengyu said, "The plane, tank destroyer and Tai'a sword were all bought by my dad!"
"That's your father?!" Ma Hua and Li Hong exchanged glances. They were at the scene at the time, and the man was sitting in a private VIP room with high secrecy. They had only heard about that man back then. just the voice.
The man's wealth is still fresh in their memory so far. As long as it is something he likes, there is nothing he can't buy. Even if the price is increased by ten times, he will not have any emotional waves at all, as if it costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Price is just a number to him.
"That's no wonder!" If Zhang Menglong was his son, then everything would make sense.
Ma Hua continued, "It's because of these people's extraordinary skills that the things sold here are, at worst, the finale items at ordinary world-class auctions. I remember that there were a total of 97 collections auctioned last time, and none of them were top-notch. The starting price is 0, but the final total transaction price exceeds 300 billion U.S. dollars, in other words, the average price of each auction item is more than 3 billion U.S. dollars!"
"Good guy, no wonder each of you brings so much money," Zhang Mengyu finally understood.
"This time, according to our understanding, there will be some national treasures that have been lost for a long time in China. In fact, this time we have been entrusted, hoping to find some national treasures that have been strayed abroad, even if there are only one or two. "
"You still have a sense of social responsibility." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
"But this is not an easy task." Ma Hua's expression became more serious, "It seems that because I know the attitude of Chinese people towards those cultural relics, they have appeared in auctions all over the world in recent years. Huaxia's cultural relics appear, and the starting price and final transaction price are astonishingly high!"
"How to say?"
"Take last year's Christie's auction as an example. The original volume of "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" appeared. Do you know the final transaction price?"
Zhang Mengyun shook his head.
"A total of 2.3 million US dollars! It was bought anonymously by a rich businessman in Hong Kong, and it is now stored in the National Museum of Historical Relics. This price has far exceeded its own historical value for an incomplete fragment. And the artistic value! But they are betting that we Huaxia people will take these things back no matter how much they spend, so they raise the price crazily!"
"Taking advantage of the fire?" Zhang Meng's tone was cold.
"That's right, it's just taking advantage of the fire to rob!" Ma Yun said, "So, if our Chinese cultural relics really appear, the money we bring may not be enough to buy a few of them."
"Since I'm here, leave this task to me."
"How much money did Mr. Zhang bring?" Lu Fei asked in surprise. Seeing Zhang Menglong's appearance, I'm afraid he was fully prepared to come here this time.
"Thousands of times more than you!" Zhang Mengyu said lightly.
"What?" Ma Hua and the others almost shouted.
Although Zhang Mengyu smashed 5000 billion U.S. dollars that time, there is a high probability that the money belongs to the company under Zhang Mengyu's name.
Just like Ma Hua and Ma Yun, they are all people worth tens of billions of dollars, but most of the money belongs to the company, and they may not have much liquidity that really belongs to them, and it is impossible for them to use the company The money in the account is used to participate in the auction.
So it may sound outrageous that someone worth tens of billions of dollars will only bring a few hundred million dollars to an auction, but in reality, that's pretty much all of their personal liquid assets that they can mobilize.
They believe that no matter how rich Zhang Mengyu is, he will die with several billion euros, right?
As for their thousands of times?That's trillions of dollars, how is this possible?Could it be that the companies under Zhang Mengyu's name all belong to him, and all of them have hundreds of billions of euros in liquidity?This is impossible!
Even if it is a unicorn technology with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, if it is sold and multiplied by ten times, it is impossible to reach trillions!
Zhang Mengyu shook his head and smiled, "Don't be surprised, these are all basic operations, it's just that your poverty limits your imagination."
Afterwards, Zhang Mengyu sneered, "Besides, I didn't say that I planned to spend money to buy those cultural relics!"
