The first thousand three hundred and sixty-nine chapters of the Koran
Chapter 1,369 Quran
…
“110 million rupees!”
"110 million, is there any higher?"
Looking at the expectant eyes of the auctioneer, Liu Dong smiled slightly and said, "150 million, if anyone's price is higher than this, then this Buddha statue will be given to him!"
Although 150 million rupees is nothing to Liu Dong, he is not willing to waste time on this meaningless bidding, and it is obvious that the guy next to him who has repeatedly argued with him is not here for the Buddha statue, but for him
Looking for trouble.
In this case, after raising the price to a high level, Liu Dong no longer needs to let the other party succeed!
Hearing this, and looking at the bidding sign that Liu Dong threw on the table next to him, the young man showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes. Liu Dong guessed right, he was indeed careful to cause trouble for the other party. As for whether he would offend Xin because of this
Others may be a little worried about Jin becoming the richest man in the world, but he is not too worried about it.
In terms of family background and wealth, he may not lose to the other party.
But even so, he was unwilling to actually spend 1.5 rupees to buy this Buddha statue from the Gupta Dynasty. If that were the case, his previous efforts would be in vain.
After thinking about this clearly, the young man's expression remained unchanged, and then he put down the bidding sign in his hand under the expectant eyes of the auctioneer.
"Mr. Liu is indeed very wealthy. None of us here are your match! I...give up!"
"Your Excellency, you are overly complimentary. I just simply like this Buddha statue!" Liu Dong raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, he found that the other party really couldn't deal with him, and finally pushed himself to the opposite side of everyone present. Although he didn't know the effect for the time being, but looking at the unhappy looks on the faces around him, he
I know what the other person said was not in vain.
The most important thing is the fact that Liu Dong has not issued a rebuttal yet.
"Mr. Said, do you know that person just now?" At this moment, the joy of successfully taking down the Buddha statue was less than 10% left in Liu Dong's heart.
"What? Mr. Liu doesn't know the Japanese?"
"Japanese? He is Japanese?"
"That's right! His name is Yasuda Hiroaki. He is the eldest son of Yasuda Yasharu, chairman of Japan's six largest conglomerates, Furong Group, and the direct heir of the Yasuda family! If nothing else happens, maybe in a few years, he will be able to succeed Yasuda Yasharu and take charge of the company.
The huge Furong consortium!"
"It turns out to be the Yasuda family, no wonder!" Liu Dong nodded clearly.
In the original conspiracy against Standard Chartered Bank, in addition to the Rothschild family and the Stillman family, the Yasuda family was the third giant after them.
Fortunately, these giants were afraid of the strong background of the Liu family behind Liu Dong, so they only asked juniors to come forward, and the power they could use was limited. Otherwise, even if Liu Dong prepared enough funds, he would not be able to secure Standard Chartered Bank in the end.
It's always a problem.
"Mr. Said, does he know why the heir to the Yasuda family came to India?" Liu Dong said after thinking for a moment.
"It should be for the US$43 billion highway construction plan recently promulgated by the Ministry of Road and Transport of the Indian government, right?" Seeing the confusion on Liu Dong's face, Said was surprised, "What? Mr. Liu is not doing it for this.
Just came to India?”
"Actually, I'm here purely for traveling!"
"Travel? Mr. Liu is really interested!"
Seeing the strange look on Said's face, Liu Dong shrugged slightly and immediately changed the subject, "So Mr. Said is also here for this highway construction plan?"
"Of course! This time the Indians are a rare big spender. They plan to invest 43 billion US dollars to build a road network radiating across the country. Half of the funds will be used to build a 20,000-kilometer 'national highway construction project'! Moreover, using public-private partnerships, even
Foreign companies are allowed to dominate. Moreover, the Indian government is entirely responsible for the road land acquisition, and construction companies do not need to worry. In addition, the Indian government also provides financial assistance up to 40% of the investment amount; the first five years of investment are exempted, and the second five years are exempted.
A series of preferential conditions including an annual 70% reduction in relevant taxes! It’s really a rare opportunity!”
After a pause, Said looked at Liu Dong and smiled: "I know that Mr. Liu's Shangyuan Engineering Group is a giant construction group that specializes in investing in large-scale commercial buildings, industrial projects and infrastructure projects such as highways, railways, airports and docks.
.How about participating this time? When the two of us work together, I believe the results will be absolutely fruitful!"
Looking at Said's expectant eyes, Liu Dong instinctively wanted to refuse.
It's not that Liu Dong doesn't want to cooperate with the other party, or that he doesn't want to take this opportunity to enter the Indian market, but the current Shangyuan Engineering Group is a little overwhelmed.
The construction of a Yanjiao New Town has involved nearly half of Shangyuan Engineering Group's efforts. Others include the construction of Daewoo Motor's He*bei Caofeidian Branch, the second-phase expansion of Daewoo Heavy Industries' Yan*tai Branch, and the Yan*tai New Port expansion project.
, the construction of the mobile phone factory of Dongguan Hanhua Technology (formerly Daewoo Electronics), the auxiliary construction work of the Outer Mongolia Railway Project and oil pipelines, and the connection between Ulangumu, Uliasutai, Bayanhonger, and Dalanzad
The expressway projects in Gade and domestic Hohhot, as well as some industrial and infrastructure projects outside Hanhua Group, keep Shangyuan Engineering Group, which has been expanding in scale, always busy.
But when the words of rejection came to Liu Dong's lips, his eyes flickered and he swallowed them back.
"If we can cooperate with Mr. Said, of course I have no objection!"
"Then are we settled like this?" Said said happily.
"certainly!"
Liu Dong smiled and nodded.
Liu Dong has been coveting the rich oil in the Middle East for a long time, but unfortunately there are too many oil giants who arrived there before him. Although the Hanhua Group is powerful, it is a latecomer. Therefore, it will inevitably touch the still fixed order there.
Despite the opposition from all vested interests, Liu Dong did not rush in. But at this moment, he clearly saw an opportunity in Said.
The identity of the Saudi prince of the other party is a good bargaining chip. Of course, how to operate it will be carefully considered later. The most important thing now is to establish a good relationship with the other party first. And economic cooperation is to shorten the distance between each other.
The best way.
As for Shangyuan Engineering Group, after the completion of the twin towers of the Chinese Center in Hong Kong, and after saving a group of engineering personnel, and making appropriate adjustments, it should still be able to take care of India's infrastructure projects.
If that doesn't work, it's not difficult to directly spend some money to acquire an infrastructure company in India. Anyway, what Liu Dong wants is the opportunity to get closer to Said, not to focus on development in India.
After verbally agreeing to cooperate with Said, both parties felt closer to each other.
"Mr. Said, since I've been sitting here, I haven't seen you make a bid? Isn't it because you are only looking at the grand finale of the Golconda diamond 'Crystal Heart'?"
"The Heart of Mercury is what Nancy wants, I like that better!"
Following the direction of Said's finger, Liu Dong noticed a book that had just appeared on the screen with a gold cover and inlaid rubies and sapphires. The appearance was so gorgeous that it was difficult to look directly at it.
"Quran?"
"That's right! In 1451, Bahrul Rodi captured Delhi and established the third dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, the Rodi Dynasty. In order to consolidate his rule, Bahrul Rodi
The first established Christianity as the state religion, and ordered to summon skilled craftsmen from all over the country to erect thirty huge stone tablets in the center of Delhi, and then engraved all thirty chapters of the Quran on them, and
It is stipulated that all religious believers in Delhi must perform the five pillars of 'recitation, worship, fasting, classes and pilgrimage' here, and he himself often participated! And this golden "Quran" was Bahrul's at that time.
·Rodi used it when he was teaching the Five Skills!"
After finishing speaking, Said looked at the golden "Quran" on the display screen, with a strong desire in his eyes. For any Christian, this kind of text that comes from ancient times and has strong religious significance is
The Quran is rare. More importantly, its former owner was an emperor.
In the modern art market, everyone knows that the price of anything related to the emperor is ridiculously high. Take China for example, the porcelain from the imperial kiln, especially the imperial kiln wares that the emperor played with, each piece of
The starting prices are all above 50 million. The official kilns are only one-tenth of the royal kilns, and the private kilns are even lower!
The second-rate dealers in Panjiayuan all know that adding a prerequisite that a certain emperor used it when setting up a stall will make their items sell better, not to mention the real treasures used by the emperor!
Moreover, the expensive gold material of this Quran and the jewels and diamonds inlaid on its surface add to its preciousness.
Under this circumstance, Christie's setting its starting price at 500 million rupees does not seem so high!
"Mr. Liu, don't you want it too?"
Said asked nervously. Gein, the impression Liu Dong left on others in the past few times was really too domineering. Even though Said was confident that he had a lot of money in his pocket, compared with the richest man in the new technology next to him,
, it seems much inferior.
Of course, the wealth of the entire Saudi royal family must be several times that of Liu Dong, or even more, but that belongs to the entire Saudi royal family, not Said himself.
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Said! A gentleman does not win over others' love, and I am not a religious person. I will not participate in the bidding for this Quran!"
Liu Dong's words are half true and half false.
In fact, even if he does not believe in religion, Liu Dong seems to have collected this precious Quran, which has been passed down for more than 400 years, into his Yuanming Museum and the Ancient India Exhibition Hall.
But after so many years, people have suffered a lot and have become more mature and steady. Liu Dong, who has been a bit aggressive in the previous auctions, will probably attract everyone if he still participates in the bidding this time.
