Chapter 529： 100 million pounds with a vertical finger (2/2)

”No, wait a minute, don't worry, I have something else I want to discuss with you.”

Xia Yu narrowed his smile and looked solemn.

When Hua Shengshi saw this, he knew that it was a major event, so he looked upright and made a please gesture: ”Please speak!”

”When I was in Hong Kong, I didn't find a suitable opportunity. When I met you in London this time, I knew the opportunity was here.”

”Didn’t I tell you all the time? I plan to buy a dozen antiques. A few thousand pieces are not too few, and tens of thousands are not too many. If there are less, I will collect it by myself, and if I have more, I will build a top private museum. .”

”But I can't tell the authenticity of antiques, so I plan to ask your old guard to help me purchase them. The funds are not a problem. I want as much as you can purchase!”

Hearing Xia Yu's words, the Huasheng Shishi's eyes were bright and he looked at Xia Yu vigorously, and said eagerly: ”Mr. Xia, are you serious?”

Xia Yu nodded without hesitation, raised an index finger, and said in a straightforward voice: ”I never tell lies. If I don't have much else, I have more money. Is 100 million pounds enough to buy antiques? If not, add another one. Billion!”

”Hiss~”

Seeing Xia Yufeng lightly uttering this number, Huashengshi's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help taking a breath, looking at Xia Yu in amazement.

Seeing Hua Shengshi's reaction, Xia Yu secretly smiled in his heart, knowing that he was restrained.

However, what Xia Yu said was from his heart, and he really did not miss the money.

Today is January 11, 1979. It has been half a month since the Iranian Revolution broke out. The whole world has accepted this result, and it seems that the situation cannot be calmed down in a short time.

So international capital rushed into the gold market frantically.

In just half a month, the price of gold in London has broken the US$300 per ounce mark, and Xia Yu’s floating profit has reached more than US$1 billion. According to the current exchange rate, it is 800 million pounds!

Will make more money later!

Buying antiques for one or two billion pounds is a trivial matter!

And if it is really possible to buy so many, Xia Yu is too happy to buy antiques worth one or two billion pounds, and after a few decades, it will be worth more than ten billion pounds!

As long as Huashengshi has the ability to acquire, he will want it all!

Huashengshi Niu poured a cup of tea like a peony to calm himself down.

Xia Yu smiled and waited quietly to taste tea.

For a long time, Hua Shengshi shook his head and said with a wry smile: ”Mr. Xia, do you know that the total of all the antiques in my Jumbo Pavilion now, there are 1,462 pieces. I calculated the cost, and the price of these antiques was only 1 million pounds. about!”

Hearing this, Xia Yu's eyes widened, and he didn't expect it to be so cheap!

At this time, Hua Shengshi continued: ”Of course there is a reason for being so cheap, because I don't have money, so I usually pick it up from the homes of ordinary people in Britain, or buy from the homes of fallen aristocrats. This is still accumulated over decades. ,”

”If I want to buy from the now powerful nobles, even if they are willing to sell, how can it cost five or six million pounds.”

Hearing this explanation, Xia Yu nodded suddenly.

”So if you really give me 100 million pounds to buy antiques, according to my previous practice, it will be a question of whether it can be spent!”

Hua Shengshi said with a wry smile and shook his head, still feeling deeply in his heart.

Sure enough, he was the top tycoon from Xiangjiang, and my old friends were right. Xia Yu's strength was definitely more than just the surface.

But isn't this right?

The stronger Xia Yu's strength and the more willing to invest in antiques, the more antiques he can get back from foreigners!

Thinking of this, Huashengshi suddenly felt that the blood that had been silent for decades was boiling again. It was a kind of excitement of meeting a confidant after a long drought.

He no longer hesitated, stood up, bowed heavily to Xia Yu, looked at Xia Yu scorchingly, and solemnly said: ”Mr. Xia, I know you are helping me, the whole treasure pavilion. I can give you free, I only have one condition, no, it's a request!”

When Hua Sheng Shi bowed, Xia Yu hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to help Hua Sheng Shi. Hearing his words and seeing the expectation, pleading and determination in his eyes, Xia Yu was very moved and took a deep breath. Said: ”You always speak!”

”I hope that in my lifetime, you can support me as much as possible without affecting your career, and let me buy cultural relics belonging to China for you, and not sell them to foreigners.”

”This is a request from an ordinary descendant of Yan and Huang who live abroad! Please!”

With that said, Hua Shengshi insisted on bowing to Xia Yu.

Hua Shengshi’s actions shocked Xia Yu. Xia Yu hurriedly supported him with moist eyes and solemnly said: ”Old Hua, you don’t have to be like this. This is what I did. You have worked hard for decades. If you work hard, if you are willing to sell, I will buy it at the market price with you!”

”No, I have been alive in the past few years, and I have no descendants, and it is useless if I ask for money. Although Ade is my apprentice, but he is not good at learning art, I don't worry about entrusting Zhenbaoge to him.”

”Although I have known you for a short time, but I am old and my eyes are bright. You have the heart and the ability to collect antiques. The Jumbo Pavilion is the best choice for you. In the future, you will bring you back to Xiangjiang. It is better than staying in the UK. , At least that is the place of the motherland, so that these cultural relics returned to the embrace of the mother.”

”If you really build a museum in the future, I hope they can have the privilege of putting it in for my descendants of Yan and Huang to see and appreciate my profound and profound Chinese culture! Then I will die!”

Hua Shengshi said outrageously, and his words were sonorous and powerful.

Xia Yu took a deep breath and said, ”Since you always say this, I am not hypocritical. I will definitely build a museum, but I hope you can build it by yourself. I will support you unconditionally!”

”I have enough land in Xiangjiang. I also have a real estate company to build museums and purchase antiques. I also support you infinitely!”

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Hua Shengshi trembled with excitement, and the old tearful but smiled and said to Xia Yu: ”Mr. Xia, thank you...thank you!”

”You don't get excited, sit down first and take a sip of tea slowly.”

Hua Shengshi’s true feelings touched Xia Yu, but he was also worried that if he passed out excitedly or had an accident, it would be bad, so he hurriedly let Hua Shengshi sit down and fill him with a cup of tea.

”Good...”

Hua Shengshi smiled and nodded and said ~ The hand holding the teacup was still trembling.

When Hua Shengshi calmed down, Xia Yu said, ”Old Hua, I can take out the money at any time. When do you plan to start?”

Hua Shengshi was a little excited, but this time he was more sensible. Although he couldn’t wait to do it right away, he thought about it and said, “Mr. Xia, I have a few friends who are helping me purchase. If I want to build a museum, I also have friends. At Hong Kong Chinese University, I happen to be a professor at the School of Architecture. Can you ask them to help?”

Xia Yu promised: ”Of course it’s okay. Welcome, the more people, the better. I also hope that the museum will be established as soon as possible. In short, it will be based on your old opinions. I am only responsible for contributing money, and I can only do this. Up.”

Hua Shengshi smiled and said hello again and again.

After that, Xia Yu chatted with Hua Shengshi for a long time, until it was dark, Hua Shengshi reluctantly sent Xia Yu out, until Xia Yu's car was far away, he still stood in place and watched.
