Urban Black Technology Boss
Chapter 92 Reselling Antique Calligraphy and Paintings Across Time and Space
Tang Long didn't tell the truth to Cole. The identity issue Cole couldn't solve, but it wasn't a problem for him.
However, even if he can move freely in Sakura Country, he has no interest in going to Fuchi Prison to kill Ramsey.
The Twelve Monkeys came to 1987 earlier than him, and have been sending people to monitor Ramsey.
In this unfamiliar place, Tang Long would not take the risk of sneaking into the prison, nor did he have the ability to direct others to do it.
After finding a random small hotel to live in, Tang Long returned to the real world.
I inquired on the Internet about the index operation of the Cherry Blossom Country stock market after December 1987, 12, and found that the trend of the Cherry Blossom Country stock market was indeed weird.
虽然87年10月全球股灾导致日经指数单月下跌超过33%,但是88年又从21564点涨到了30159点,直到90年1月才遭遇重创。
However, during this period, more than a dozen high-quality pharmaceutical consumer companies such as Toyota and Takeda rose tenfold against the market.
This time Tang Long planned to use his foresight to make a fortune in the world of "Twelve Monkeys".
There are currently three worlds in the Infinite Invasion system: "John Wick", "Mech Enemy" and "Twelve Monkeys".
In the world of "John Wick", Tang Long probably owns gold coins worth 600 million U.S. dollars, which can be used to live comfortably.
If it is used to start a high-tech company, it will not be enough at all.
And in the world of "Mechanical Enemy", although he has a base of [-] million US dollars from USR company, New Era Technology has always been only out and not in, and the funds are consumed quickly.
Just ordering two small spacecraft to go to the moon cost 2 million U.S. dollars.
The acquisition of high-density alloy materials to produce LT1 robots, several holographic full-screen mobile phone production lines, armored transport vehicles, Hummers, etc., cost another nearly [-] million US dollars.
Now New Era Technology only has [-] million US dollars left. If this continues, the company's most important robot production line will face the dilemma of lack of raw materials and stop production.
As for the world of "Twelve Monkeys", Tang Long is still paying for it.
For Tang Long, the world of "Item Enemy" is a very important production base. Before he thought of a suitable way to make money, he could only make money from other worlds to subsidize New Era Technology.
Now, the world of "[-] Monkeys" is a good opportunity to make money.
But the world of Twelve Monkeys is now in 1987, and other worlds are decades ahead of their time, so it is troublesome to bring large amounts of cash into it.
Tang Long had no choice but to enter the world of "John Wick", took out gold coins worth 1500 million from the basement of City N, and exchanged them for cash at the bounty center.
In order to carry it easily into the world of "Twelve Monkeys", he had to repeat the same trick and bought three sets of Huaguo antique calligraphy and paintings for US$1500 million.
These include Zhao Mengfu's "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", Song Gaozong's "Sichao Chenhan", and Ming Dynasty Wu Bin's "Eighteen Yingzhen Picture Volume".
These three calligraphy and paintings were all handed down after 2013. They were still collected by private collectors in 1987 and have never been put up for auction.
Tang Long packed the three sets of antique calligraphy and paintings and brought them back to the real world.
Back in the real world, he found that the system's valuation of antique calligraphy and paintings was very low, and only 100 points were deducted at a time.
For the system, these are just useless waste paper, unlike cash, which has strict restrictions.
Although it seemed like a loophole, Tang Long would face a big problem if he wanted to take advantage of the loophole to resell antiques to make money.
For example, Vincent van Gogh's "Fenced Wheat Field and Plowers" was sold at auction in November 2017 for a whopping $11 million.
Theoretically, Tang Long can buy it in the parallel world, and then bring it back to the real world or other worlds to sell, so as to avoid high points handling fees.
However, this famous painting is already very famous in the real world, and many people know who collected the original painting.
Even if Tang Long took an authentic painting, he couldn't explain the origin of the famous painting, so he couldn't sell it.
Doing so may attract the attention of interested people, who may regard him as a thief or a liar, or even the attention of a government agency.
Therefore, Tang Long would never do this in the real world.
In the world of Twelve Monkeys, the restrictions are much looser.
He chose Huaguo antique calligraphy and painting. These three calligraphy and paintings were still collected in China in 1987. Due to the age, foreign collectors seldom pay attention to the origin of these three paintings.
Even if someone finds out that there are two sets of the same calligraphy and painting in the future, it will be two or thirty years later, and Tang Long will never be involved.
In the end, Tang Long returned to the world of "Twelve Monkeys" with three sets of antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as recorded Nikkei and Toyota Takeda stock charts.
In addition, he spent another 100 points to regenerate a new set of M country passport green card and other documents.
When Tang Long reappeared in a small hotel room in Edo, Sakura Country, it was only two hours later, and Cole still stayed in 1987.
At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Tang Long came to the branch of Sotheby's Auction House in Edo with his suitcase in hand.
Sotheby's auction house has a long history and a complete auction system, and its branch in Edo is located in the most prosperous business district.
Walking into Sotheby's auction house, staff members in neat suits immediately came up to inquire.
Tang Long explained his intentions in fluent English. When the other party heard that the value of the lot exceeded 1000 million US dollars, he immediately notified the manager to come down to receive it in person.
The other party immediately sent a white man wearing gold-rimmed glasses to receive him.
"Hello! Mr. Tang, my name is Charles Andrew, and I am the manager of this auction house."
A Caucasian man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled and stretched out his right hand, and enthusiastically walked in front of Tang Long.
"Hello!" Tang Long stretched out his right hand and gently shook Charles' hand.
Following Charles to the reception room on the second floor, a staff member immediately came up and asked him if he wanted tea or coffee.
"Coffee, more sugar and less milk." Tang Long smiled.
After sitting down, Tang Long opened the suitcase, took out the "Eighteen Yingzhen Scrolls" inside, and placed it on the table in the middle.
Charleston's eyes lit up when he saw the "Eighteen Yingzhen Picture Volume".
Although he is not an expert in the study of Huaguo antique calligraphy and painting, he has also handled hundreds of Huaguo antique calligraphy and paintings. He can tell that this painting is genuine just from the paper quality, ink and seal of the calligraphy and painting.
"Mr. Tang, please wait a moment, I'll get someone to come down for an appraisal." Charles said with a polite smile.
Any item sent to Sotheby's auction house will be appraised by professionals to avoid such embarrassing things as inferior fakes being auctioned.
Although it is preliminarily judged that the painting is genuine, Charles still asks a professional appraiser to appraise it to be on the safe side.
Tang Long smiled and said, "Please go ahead."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the coffee on the side and tasted it slowly.
Soon, two Asian-looking appraisers walked in, wearing gloves, holding a magnifying glass and an infrared detector, and carefully looked at the "Eighteen Yingzhen Picture Volume".
Charles leaned on the sofa, half-closed his eyes and rested his mind, but Tang Long could notice that his eyes were all focused on the calligraphy and painting.
苏富比拍卖行对卖家收取的佣金是15%~20%,对于一笔超过1000万美元的交易来说,意味着150万~200万美元的佣金。
This is definitely not a small sum for Charles and the Edo branch of Sotheby's auction house.
Of course, the premise of all this is that all the antique calligraphy and paintings brought by the other party are genuine.
The expressions of the two appraisers became more and more solemn, and they began to exchange opinions in a low voice from time to time.
However, even if he can move freely in Sakura Country, he has no interest in going to Fuchi Prison to kill Ramsey.
