Chapter 667: A huge purchase worth 50 million euros!
…
Feeling the mustard space in his mind that had grown to 500 meters in length, width and height, and the abundant internal energy in his Dantian, Liu Dong was very sure that his current level of martial arts had reached the late stage of Huajin.
Relying on the ability of the Relic Yuanguang and the foundation of Chinese martial arts he has laid down since childhood, he almost has a level of kung fu that others can achieve in a dozen or more years.
At this moment, the joy in Liu Dong's heart is difficult to describe with words. Compared with various precious antiques, the relic Yuanguang is the foundation of his life! With the further breakthrough of the relic Yuanguang, it will also be able to bring Liu Dong more in the future.
Come to more wealth.
Moreover, Liu Dong is now roughly certain that as long as there are three more auras of Buddha relics for him to absorb, his internal strength will be able to break through in one fell swoop and reach the coveted elixir realm. By then, his lifespan will be greatly extended, and longevity is exactly how many years.
A goal pursued by all people for thousands of years.
Moreover, Liu Dong still made a breakthrough in his prime of life, which means that he can go further in the martial arts.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Dong finally suppressed the extreme joy in his heart and returned his attention to the numerous works of art in front of him.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Dong glanced at the shelves in the back, which involved cultural relics from ancient Greece, Egypt, India, and even various periods in Europe. He shook his head with regret and did not step forward again, because he knew that even if Van Gaal
Even if he wanted to sell, he couldn't buy all the antiques he was interested in. After all, he only had 50 million euros in his bank card.
How to use these 50 million euros to buy as many antiques as possible is what he should consider!
Looking at Van Gaal who was sitting on a chair at the door chatting with Old Ace, Liu Dong thought about it briefly and then strode over.
"Liu, have you thought about what you want to buy?" Looking at Liu Dong coming over, Old Ace stood up and asked.
He very much hopes that Liu Dong can make a big purchase, so that he can get more commissions.
After nodding towards Old Ace, Liu Dong looked at Van Gaal who also stood up and smiled: "Mr. Lord, now I think we should talk about the transaction!"
"Of course!" Van Gaal laughed.
"I want all the porcelain on shelves No. 12, 13 and 17!" Liu Dong said directly.
As the owner of the collection, Van Gaal knew very well what was placed on the three shelves Liu Dong mentioned. They were the best part of the Chinese porcelain in his collection, including the official kilns of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty and the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty.
, Yuan blue and white. And three pieces from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty!
"No, no, Mr. Liu. These porcelains are fine pieces collected by the Van Gaal family over the generations. There is no way I can sell them all!" Van Gaal shook his head without hesitation.
Hearing this, Liu Dong sighed inevitably. When he first proposed this deal, he knew that it would probably not succeed. After all, these porcelains were too difficult!
Anyone who likes to collect will not take them all out.
Perhaps noticing Liu Dong's disappointment, Van Gaal smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, I am going to hold a small auction at home in a week. By then, some of the porcelain you just mentioned will be expensive.
Chinese ancient paintings and calligraphy books, as well as some other antiques, will be auctioned here. If Mr. Liu has time, you can come and participate!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lord, for the invitation. I will be on time for the appointment in a week!" Although he said this, Liu Dong also cursed a few words of cunning and greed in his heart.
Auctions, even privately organized auctions, can ensure that Van Gaal gets the most generous harvest when multiple people bid.
Of course, if Liu Dong wants to get his favorite antiques, he will also have to pay more money.
"Since Mr. Lord is unwilling to sell the porcelain on the three display racks, I think the remaining porcelain, as well as some less important paintings and calligraphy, should not be within the scope of the ban?" Liu Dong continued.
"Of course!" Van Gaal nodded.
He had too much ordinary ancient Chinese porcelain, so he didn't mind selling some to Liu Dong and freeing up some space at the same time.
"Okay, I want all the porcelain on display racks 35 and 36..."
Liu Dong mentioned the numbers of more than 20 display racks in one breath, and the display racks basically included official kiln porcelain from Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty, as well as Guangcai porcelain and some folk kiln porcelain.
.
The value of these porcelain is generally low. Even in China, it is generally between 10,000 and 50,000 euros. In Europe, it is even cheaper, about 1,500 euros and 10,000 euros!
Liu Dong spent 30 million euros and bought about 7,000 pieces!
The main reason for purchasing such large quantities is that he knows the market situation of domestic antiques. Although the value of these official kilns in the late Qing Dynasty is now very low, with the development of the domestic economy, there are more and more wealthy people, and those who like to collect are bound to
There will be more and more, but the number of fine official kilns in the third and Ming dynasties is limited, so these porcelains from the official kilns in the late Qing Dynasty will inevitably become the main body of porcelain collections in society, so investing now is the most cost-effective.
Of course, some of these porcelains will also enter the Yuanmingyuan Museum in the future.
If Van Gaal hadn't finally wanted to save some seeds for his porcelain collection and was really unwilling to continue selling, Liu Dong would definitely be willing to sweep away all the porcelain he could sell.
"Liu, can you tell me the reason why you bought so much porcelain? I think if you just collect it, you don't need so much!" Van Gaal asked curiously.
To be honest, he still felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known that Liu Dong's purchase volume was so large, he would not have given him a 30% discount just to sell more points!
But it’s too late to regret it now!
"Haha. I have several antique shops and an auction house in China. I buy these things for sale!" Liu Dong explained.
After looking at Liu Dong in surprise, Van Gaal smiled and said: "In your Chinese terms, Mr. Liu is really young and promising!"
"Mr. Lord, thank you. Now can we talk about the business of other antiques?" Liu Dong continued.
"Do you still want to acquire it?"
"Of course!" Liu Dong said without hesitation.
It is rare to see so many Chinese works of art today. Since porcelain is no longer available for purchase, calligraphy and painting, ancient books, bronzes, wooden handicrafts, Buddha statues, etc. are all the targets Liu Dong plans to acquire.
You must know that Liu Dong will have a huge museum waiting for him to fill in the future, and a museum is different from a private collection. In addition to requiring enough high-quality antiques, it also requires that all collections can form a rigorous system, such as porcelain,
It is best to follow a system from the stone tools and pottery of the Neolithic Age to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the pottery of the Han Dynasty, the pottery and porcelain of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the porcelain of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In addition, the same is true for other types of artworks such as bronzes, jades, calligraphy and paintings, but Liu Dong's collection is still far from this goal, so now he has to work harder.
And it was precisely driven by this goal that in order to collect more antiques, Liu Dong spent every last copper in his pocket. In the end, he even had no money to pay Old Ace's agency fee!
But it was all worth it, as 20 million euros bought Liu Dong nearly a thousand precious works of art!
"Mr. Liu, I still have a lot of European, ancient Egyptian, and Indian works of art here. Do you want more?" Van Gaal said with bright eyes.
He also didn't expect that Liu Dong would acquire 50 million yuan of art in one fell swoop. If the other party could come up with another 50 million yuan, then his company would have enough funds to come back to life this time.
If this is the case, he doesn't need to hold any more auctions. He can keep the best parts of the collection and just give Liu Dong the mid- to low-end artworks!
Looking at Van Gaal who was full of expectations, Liu Dong even though he really wanted it, he was helpless and cash-strapped, "Mr. Lord, I can only buy these for the time being. If I buy more, I'm afraid I won't even have to pay Old Ace's agency fee."
I can’t even take it out!”
Although he was mentioned in the words, Old Ace next to him just smiled and didn't say much. Of course, whoever it was would be very happy now.
I didn’t spend a penny, I just acted as an intermediary, and I earned 1 million euros in less than half a day. Is there a more cost-effective deal in the world than this?
"That's such a shame!" said Van Gaal.
After smiling lightly, Liu Dong said: "Mr. Lord, I would like to ask you a favor!"
"Please say!"
With a big deal of 50 million ahead, Van Gaal's attitude towards Liu Dong is obviously much closer than before, and this is the charm of money.
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "This is my first time coming to the Netherlands and I am not familiar with the place. So I hope that Mr. Lord can help contact the moving and port companies to transport these artworks back to China."
Although Mustard Seed Space can completely put these artworks back, they are different from jade and can be covered up with calcite. Instead of bothering to find excuses for the origin of these artworks, it is better to be generous from the beginning.
take it out.
In addition, Liu Dong also purchased about 50 pieces of bronze ware from Van Gaal this time. Liu Dong is planning to take out dozens of the more than 3,000 pieces of bronze ware from King Zhuang's Tomb that have been stored in the mustard space, mix them, and transport them back to the country at the same time.
, a little bit of whitewashing.
Faced with Liu Dong's request, Van Gaal agreed without much thought. After all, it was just a piece of cake for him. Besides, these things were all Chinese cultural relics, so the Dutch government would not make it difficult.
In addition, it is also a good opportunity to build a good relationship with Liu Dong, a young rich man. Human relations are not just popular in China.
