Chapter 2568 Antiques

Boss Ma was also stunned by Zhou Buqi's operation.

Seeing him talking to Bill Gates on the phone, Boss Ma was really submissive and admired this guy's ability to adapt to changes and seize opportunities.

At today's board meeting, Zhou Buqi felt defeated.

Although he cleverly controlled the situation as chairman, he did not let the most embarrassing scene happen. But the poor control over the development of the meeting situation is embarrassing enough.

The biggest reason for the opposition is that PayPal cannot be messed up now!

Be stable!

Stability is more important than anything else!

OK, now's your chance.

David Marcus is resigning.

The potential for confusion arises.

Whose responsibility is this?

It can’t be the responsibility of the new board of directors, right?

Zhou Buqi ended the call with Bill Gates and was generally satisfied.

Boss Ma, who was standing by, snorted coldly: "Your method is really... just like Murong Fu in "Tian Long Ba Bu"."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I think you are Yue Buqun."

Boss Ma laughed and said, "I didn't say you look like Murong Fu. I said you learned Murong Fu's unique skills and used his methods to treat others."

Zhou Buqi stood up and stretched, "It's almost done now. Without Marcus, there won't be any more waves on Pierre's side."

“How did you get Bill Gates?”

"Let's trade."

"What deal?"

"I want to buy a farm in California, maybe 20,000 to 30,000 acres. At that time, it will be allocated to Bill Gates' agricultural company for unified management, and he will use my farm for scientific agriculture, and the food produced will go into his Unified sales channels.”

"Ah?" Boss Ma thought this was a bit ridiculous, "That's it? What kind of deal is this? Can you please invite Bill Gates?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Friendship, personal relationships are established through repeated contacts like this. The cooperation on the farm is just a facade. He is trying to please me."

"Just blow it!"

Boss Ma snorted, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Times have really changed.

Even Bill Gates wants to please this guy?

Is this guy growing up too fast?

Zhou Buqi was also speechless, "It's not because of business or assets. He wants to invite me to do charity with him. He has told me several times."

"Well, I've experienced it too, and many people have told me." Boss Ma felt the same, and then got a little angry, "They all retired and started doing charity. Then they wanted to use their own standards. Ask us young people, why didn’t Bill Gates do charity when he was young? Charity is a taste of life. If you are younger or younger, you can’t understand it at all.”

Zhou Buqi turned around, a little confused, "What we? I am a young man, this is true. Lao Ma, you don't seem to be young anymore? What are you doing with me?"

Boss Ma was almost furious, "Then what are you going to do? Want to hang out with Bill Gates?"

Zhou Buqi said disdainfully: "I'm too busy!"

"Well, don't get involved with them. Even if we do charity, we should do it ourselves." At Boss Ma's level, it is obvious that he has already had the idea of ​​social charity. "Bill Gates has spent dozens of dollars on Africa on his own wishful thinking." Billions of dollars, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he is crazy. Certain countries in Africa and the Middle East, as well as our neighbor, do nothing every day. In addition to creating terror in the world every day, they are They are crying and clamoring for international aid. Once they get international aid and have money, they will not feed the local people, but create greater threats and extort more aid."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "You have never done charity. You don't know that doing charity is much more difficult than making money. With so much money in your hands, you don't even know which project to donate to. Humanitarianism is often The best way to go about charity is to just transfer the money, it’s the simplest operation.”

Boss Ma said angrily: "Have you done this?"

"Me?" Zhou Buqi was unambiguous, "I have done a lot. I am responsible for the physical examination program for the elderly in my hometown; there is also a student aid program for college students, and there is also a program for cancer patients. Projects on painkillers such as morphine and pethidine for patients. There is also the Zhixing Drama Club, which promotes traditional culture... By the way, there is another project recently that I have to win."

Boss Ma asked: "What project?"

Zhou Buqi said: "A cultural relic of our country has been lost overseas for hundreds of years, and it's called Danfang Lei."

"ah?"

Boss Ma has never heard of it.

In fact, Zhou Buqi had never heard of it.

But Wu Yu has recently developed a keen interest in collecting, and has begun to enter the collecting business, mainly purchasing cultural relics from China in overseas markets.

Recently, a top national treasure has appeared in the overseas cultural relics circle, and it is this Danfang Lei. The reason this is important is because this thing is two parts.

Part of it is the bronze "tank", and part of it is the "lid" of the tank.

The "lid" is currently in a domestic museum.

Panfang Lei recently appeared at auction. It’s this “big tank”.

If this thing can be bought and brought back to China, then this bronze square statue from the Shang Dynasty can be reunited in China after a hundred years.

Zhou Buqi briefly explained the matter.

Boss Ma smiled and said, "You want to buy it and donate it to the country? Why don't you keep it yourself? It's not too late to donate it to the country after you've had enough fun."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips, "So you are an amateur!"

"What's wrong?"

"When I play collection, I mainly play with calligraphy and painting, and I play with things from the underworld. Some of them come out of the ground and are things from the underworld. Do you dare to play with them?"

"Did this Fang Zun come out of the underground?"

Boss Ma nodded very seriously, obviously agreeing with this statement.

Zhou Buqi said: "This is something from the Shang Dynasty. Complete bronze vessels can only be preserved today if they exist underground as underworld vessels. Moreover, whether these tripods or statues are used, do you know what they are used for? "

"What are you doing?"

"For steaming people."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Boss Ma felt a little scared.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "That was the Shang Dynasty. They were all about ghosts and gods. Everything that was important had to be sacrificed. When an important person died, it was not normal for hundreds of people to be killed and buried with him. Here. It is cooked in a ghost vessel to worship ghosts and is given to the dead to enjoy."

Boss Ma couldn't stand listening any more. He felt that this guy was a bit too nagging, so he changed the topic, "If this is the case, this kind of thing cannot be collected personally. It's too weird. After we bought it, it would be best to put it in a museum. "

Zhou Buqi nodded, "There was an auction at the end of last month, but it failed. The asking price was very high. Several Chinese people formed a patriotic group and wanted to form a group to buy this thing. But they didn't have enough financial resources to use it. They're in trouble."

Boss Ma asked: "Are you short of money? If you don't have enough money, I can help you."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, "How much is this?"

Boss Ma said meaningfully: "Yes, for you, the higher the transaction price, the better!"

…

There will be a board meeting tomorrow morning.

Holding the handle.

Zhou Buqi feels like he has been on a roller coaster. He should really thank Zuckerberg for poaching Marcus. What a good guy!

During dinner, Zhou Buqi asked Senior Sister Wu, "How was the conversation with Fang Zun you mentioned?"

Wu Yu snorted: "We are still talking, but the other party is talking too much. It's so annoying. There is an evil trend in the international auction market. All Chinese antiques will be priced at a large premium."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Our country is rich, so it's normal for prices to rise. Isn't that how all Western artworks came about?"

"When it was auctioned more than ten years ago, it was less than 10 million U.S. dollars. This time they asked for 100 million U.S. dollars. It's too exaggerated. We organized several groups of people in China to come and talk to them, but they couldn't reach an agreement."

"You go and talk."

"I'm so greedy for money. US$100 million is too expensive."

"It's expensive." Zhou Buqi expressed Boss Ma's point of view, "Go and run it, 100 million US dollars is quite suitable."

"ah?"

Wu Yu was confused.
