Early the next morning, Li Ming sat in the private room of a teahouse in Kyoto, waiting for the people from Sotheby's auction house.

After all, these things have not been appraised by professional personnel, and it is still unknown whether they are worth so much money.

At this time, the people from Sotheby's Auction House arrived, and there were five people, the first one was a middle-aged man with myopic glasses, who looked very gentle, and the others were all older people, and the lineup was also strong.

When the man with glasses saw Li Ming, he walked over with a smile and shook hands with Li Ming cordially.

"I'm Li Jiawei, the business manager of Sotheby's Hong Kong Auction Co., Ltd., you are the treasure owner, Mr. Li, I am fortunate to meet ......"

After introducing himself, Li Jiawei helped Li Ming introduce several professional appraisers behind him, and the two sides took their seats after a polite meeting, and Li Ming also took out these treasures.

When these three precious treasures were displayed in front of their eyes, several people's eyes suddenly lit up, and several appraisers hurriedly put on gloves, took out various equipment, and carefully picked up the three treasures for identification.

Li Jiawei said with a smile: "The ownership of these things belongs to Mr. Li, right?" ”

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Yes, the ownership is all my own, do I entrust you Sotheby's auction house to auction things, and also ask me to issue the procedures in this regard and the origin of these treasures?" ”

Li Jiawei hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need...... No...... I just want to determine the ownership of the treasure. ”

At this time, several professional appraisers had already completed the appraisal, and they bit their ears and communicated with Li Jiawei, Li Jiawei nodded, how to smile at Li Ming and said: "Congratulations Mr. Li, these three things of yours are extremely rare treasures, and they are quite well protected." ”

Li Ming listened to Li Jiawei's words, and his hanging heart suddenly relaxed.

"Mr. Li, we at Sotheby's offer you two ways to cooperate, the first is for our Sotheby's auction house to purchase these three treasures for 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and all the procedures are handled by our Sotheby's auction house. The second is that Mr. Li puts these three treasures for auction at our Sotheby's Hong Kong Spring Auction, and of course, we will do full publicity for these three treasures before the auction. ”

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "If it is auctioned, what do you estimate the final transaction price will be?" ”

Li Jiawei said with a smile: "It's hard to say, if it is auctioned, the final transaction price will definitely be higher than 60 million, but this is just an estimate, and no one knows what will change at that time." ”

Li Ming listened to Li Jiawei's words, and also pondered in his heart, if the auction is held, he will definitely get a lot more money, but there are still two or three months before the Sotheby's spring auction, and he will have to pay Sotheby's a lot of commission.

Besides, once these three things are taken out, even if Sotheby's helps to hide their identity information, it is very easy for someone who wants to find out about themselves.

There's a room of treasures waiting for you, so be careful, and accept the first option. But this is obviously a loss for himself, and he must put forward a few conditions to them.

Thinking of this, Li Ming smiled and said, "If I agree to the first way of cooperation, can you agree to three conditions for me." ”

When Li Jiawei heard this, his heart immediately became hot.

"It's okay, Mr. Li, please speak."

"First, I want to hide my identity, and we have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Second, you help me open a Swiss bank account, help me deposit 30 million Hong Kong dollars there, and exchange the rest into RMB cash. Thirdly, I would like you to help me obtain Hong Kong identity. ”

Li Jiawei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Is there just these three, are there any other conditions?" ”

Li Ming shook his head with a smile, and Li Jiawei also smiled and said, "Take me to communicate with our company first, you wait a few minutes." ”

After a while, Li Jiawei walked in from outside, stretched out his hand to Li Ming, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!" ”

Li Ming stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Li Jiawei, Li Jiawei was very excited, this time to be able to obtain the first way of trading, it is a desirable thing for their company, and generally the treasure owner will take the second form of auction.

Li Jiawei said with a smile: "By the way, there is no problem with Hong Kong identity at all, we have a very pleasant cooperation this time, the company asked me to tell you that if Mr. Li wants British nationality, we can also handle it for you in the shortest possible time." ”

When Li Ming heard this, he shook his head and said, "No...... No...... You have misunderstood, I am Chinese, the reason why I want to obtain Hong Kong status is mainly to make it easier to go abroad in the future, I don't want to go to those foreign devil countries. ”

When Li Jiawei and several appraisers heard this, they all burst out laughing.

A few days later, the transaction between the two sides was completed, Li Ming's account had nearly 30 million yuan, and he also had 30 million Hong Kong dollars in a Swiss bank, and the two sides signed a confidentiality agreement with legal protection, and Li Ming also became a Hong Kong citizen.

Li Ming still wants to stay in Kyoto in the future, and being a Hong Kong citizen is nothing more than for the convenience of going abroad, because in the future, he will often auction off some antiques that have no cultural relics value all over the world.

And those real precious cultural relics and national treasures, Li Ming will never take them abroad, Li Ming is an angry young man, and he will never do anything to sell national cultural relics.

When Li Ming got the money, the first thing he did was to repay the bank loan, and the pressure of many days disappeared, and then Li Ming began the next plan, cramming to learn all kinds of antique knowledge.

Li Ming got those things, he must have a safe place to store them, so he bought a second-hand single villa in the suburbs of Beijing, spent 15 million, the original owner went abroad, and he has not lived in it since the decoration was completed, and the decoration alone cost nearly 2 million.

There is also a nearly brand new Mercedes-Benz M350 in the garage, which is also included in the house price, but it saves Li Ming to buy a car again.

The villa has two independent garages, three parking spaces, a basement of more than 100 square meters, more than 800 square meters of garden green space before and after, the house layout is three floors, the first floor is a high-ceilinged living room, and the third floor has a sunny loft and a large terrace.

Single-door courtyard, area of more than 300 square meters, six bedrooms, four living rooms and three bathrooms, the decoration is very luxurious, Li Ming can live in it directly with a bag, to be honest, if the price is not for the owner to rush to sell, Li Ming really can't buy it.

Li Ming just transformed the basement and made some sturdy shelves to store those treasures.

Then he dismissed the workers in his factory, each of whom had been paid three months' wages. I went and bought an Iveco high-roof van and parked it in the yard of the factory.

As soon as he was ready, Li Ming opened the wormhole again and appeared in the room, this time he stayed in the room for a full night, and by the next morning, the room was empty.

Li Ming was almost exhausted to death this night, and he had to move the whole house by himself, and the next day he drove Iveco back and forth a few times before he got everything into the basement of the villa.

In the next year or so, Li Ming deliberately found an agency company abroad, and in the name of this agent company, donated a large number of national treasures with documentary value and archaeological value to the National Palace Museum.

Most of them were destroyed by the war and did not pass on to future generations, including more than a dozen pieces of Yuan blue and white flowers, dozens of precious porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, and a large number of precious historical documents, materials and rare books.

Li Ming's behavior caused an uproar in China, and even many academic issues that have been debated in the archaeological community for many years have been solved because of the appearance of this large number of historical documents, and a large number of precious national treasures have been collected by the Palace Museum.

This incident even alarmed the central government, and the domestic media also reported it for nearly a month, and everyone had different opinions about who the person who offered the treasure was, and the whole incident was in a commotion for more than a year before it gradually subsided.

However, when Li Ming was making a fuss about this matter in China, he quietly found several agency companies, and successfully auctioned dozens of treasures in more than ten auction houses in Hong Kong and the mainland.

He also selected a large number of antique porcelain that was not in the category of cultural relics, and auctioned more than 100 pieces in major foreign auction houses, in total, in exchange for nearly one billion yuan for Li Ming.

Li Ming handed over all these things, but he stayed at home every day, but found that he had become idle. In the past, when I was poor, buying something was like cutting my veins, but now that I have money, life has become extremely boring.

Now that my brother has money, what are I going to do......

Put a few girls who are smart? Traveling the world? Survival in the wild? Skiing in the Antarctic and the Arctic? Wandering around space with NASA's space shuttle? Buy a boat and learn from Columbus to discover a new world? Or...... Looking for a boyfriend? Phew......

It's better to go back to the Ming Dynasty to take a turn, to experience the life of the ancient working people, if not, get a Zhuangzi in the Ming Dynasty, go to Qinhuai River to buy a few top cards, raise them in the Zhuangzi as a concubine, lead a few dogs every day, go to the street ** and go down to the good family women or something.

If you go to the Ming Dynasty, you have to prepare, Li Ming first found a store in Kyoto, this store specializes in hand-making all kinds of antique clothing, shoes and hats, and here he customizes a suit according to the style of the Ming Dynasty, hats, shoes, and gray robes.

Li Ming put this outfit on his body and looked at it in front of the mirror, it was really an image of a man and a dog, Li Ming knew that if he wanted to pass unhindered in the Ming Dynasty, he could only wear this dress.

When he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he didn't have silver taels on him, so Li Ming specially bought a batch of 925 silver, made a few ingots according to the Ming Dynasty silver taels, and also made some broken silver. In addition, I also ordered a package, put all these things into the package, and also packed a handful of dog legs in it.

If Li Ming wanted to settle down in the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely not be enough, so he ordered some cultured pearls, various artificial gemstones, and some expensive gift boxes on the Internet, which were packed.

In the suburbs of Beijing, I rented a yard along the street, where I could safely open the wormhole without being discovered by others. As soon as he was ready, Li Ming looked for a starry night, opened the wormhole at about four o'clock in the morning, and stepped into the light gate.
