The leisurely life of the rich start

"Haha, that's fine too."

...

After the appraisal meeting, Zhang Da received another reward from Tang Haitao.

Kroc put forward a new condition, they are willing to buy a team in the middle of the league for Zhang Da.

"Although it is a little far from the requirements of the giants, I can feel their sincerity."

Zhang Da sat on the sofa in the suite and said, "What about Heiyan? Is there any new progress?"

"The Black Rock Group proposed that cash plus some stocks of other companies can be exchanged for the stocks of McDonald's in our hands."

Zhang Da murmured: "It's not attractive."

"Yes." Tang Haitao said, "If they can't offer a higher offer, shall we accept Crocker's offer?"

"I think so."

Zhang Da said,

"I am personally satisfied to be able to win a mid-level team in the Premier League. If the Black Rock Group cannot come up with a more sincere offer, there is no need for us to procrastinate."

Tang Haitao said: "I understand, I will step up negotiations with the Black Rock Group."

Zhang Da nodded: "Okay."

According to the current situation, there is a high probability that he will reach a deal with Crocker Company.

unexpectedly.

Two days later, new news came from the Black Rock Group.

"You mean, the Black Rock Group wants to add an antique to the deal?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhang." Tang Haitao said, "Mr. Otis told me that they are willing to include the snake head among the twelve animal heads in the Old Summer Palace in the transaction."

"I made a request for an appraisal by our side, and Heiyan agreed."

"I see, I will send experts to Citigroup for identification."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Da hung up the phone.

It seems that the task of acquiring the team will have to wait.

As a native of Hua, he felt that he had the responsibility to bring this national treasure back to the country as far as he could.

Chapter 249 Leaving Beijing

Yuanmingyuan Management Office.

The office phone rang loudly.

The young clerk answered the phone expressionlessly, and immediately showed a shocked expression.

He clamped the microphone to his ear with his left shoulder, took the pen and paper with his right hand, and sat down to record.

After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly approached his immediate superior.

A few minutes later, the news reached the ears of the leadership team of the management office.

Director Qiu, the highest ranking member of the management department, immediately organized a meeting.

"Comrades, you may have heard about the snake heads overseas, but we still ask Comrade Xiao Li to explain the specific situation in detail."

"Okay, Director Qiu!"

Xiao Li, who received Zhang Da's call, said energetically.

About 10 minutes later, several leaders of the management office looked at each other.

Director Qiu said: "Everyone understands the situation, let's talk about it."

The second in command of the management office, Deputy Director Zhang said: "Director, no one will joke with us about the animal head. So I think we should make preparations in advance and arrange cultural relics experts to go to Citigroup for identification."

"If it is true, then everyone will be happy. Even if it is false, it can prevent our compatriots from being deceived."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Another deputy director Li said, "For decades, the snake head has never appeared in public, and its authenticity is doubtful."

Deputy Director Zhang dissatisfied: "Don't care about the authenticity, our duty is to identify and recover the cultural relics related to the Old Summer Palace, how can we shirk responsibility now?"

"Old Zhang, don't worry, I didn't say not to send someone..."

Deputy Director Li was about to distinguish, Director Qiu said:

"Okay, in my opinion, let's get in touch with Mr. Zhang who called to get a more detailed understanding of the situation, and then organize people to go to the United States."

...

An hour later, Zhang Da sat in the management office.

He said frankly:

"I am negotiating stock transactions with two companies from Citigroup, one of which is the Black Rock Group."

"They proposed that they are willing to add the snake heads among the twelve animal heads in the Yuanmingyuan to the trade. But I can't tell the real from the fake, so I have to ask the experts for help."

"I understand." Director Qiu said, "We can send someone to Citigroup for identification. However, if the identification result is true, what is Mr. Zhang going to do with this animal head?"

Zhang Da said: "Naturally, it is donated to the country. I also grew up learning "French Allied Forces Burn the Old Summer Palace" in history books and language books. I also have a special feeling for these cultural relics."

"Besides, if I don't plan to donate to the country, I can just find an expert to appraise it in private."

Director Qiu looked at the two deputy directors beside him, nodded and said, "You are right! On behalf of all the colleagues in the Yuanmingyuan Management Office, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"Thanks in advance." Zhang Da waved his hand and said, "I haven't identified the truth yet."

Director Qiu repeatedly said: "You are right!"

Zhang Da smiled in his heart.

I didn't expect Director Qiu to have the potential to be a "repeater".

After the four of them had a chat, Director Qiu called a young man over.

"Mr. Zhang, it's rare for you to come here. I would like to invite you to visit our heritage park."

Director Qiu pointed to the young man and said, "This is Xiao Li. He answered the call you made earlier. If it's convenient, let him be your guide to show you around."

"OK, thanks."

Zhang Da nodded, got up and left the office.

As soon as Zhang Da left, Deputy Director Li said:

"Director, I think we should immediately organize an expert group to go to Citigroup for identification."

Director Qiu joked: "What? You changed your mind after only contacting Mr. Zhang once?"

Deputy Director Zhang at the side also looked at Deputy Director Li curiously.

Deputy Director Li smiled mysteriously: "Have you two seen Mr. Zhang's watch?"

Deputy Director Zhang said: "I see, it's pretty pretty."

"Hey, you also know that in addition to studying cultural relics, I'd better study watches."

Deputy Director Li smiled and said,

"You two would never have imagined that Mr. Zhang's watch is the most expensive watch in the world."

"Hey, that's amazing!"

Director Qiu pondered, "Lao Li, what do you mean, because Mr. Zhang has an extraordinary net worth, the Black Rock Group shouldn't dare to deceive him with counterfeit products?"

"Director, you are brilliant!"

"Stop flattering me." Director Qiu smiled, "Let's talk about business, this trip, which of you two will go to Citigroup as the team leader."

"Director, let me go." Deputy Director Zhang asked Ying, "You see, Mr. Zhang and I are from the same family, so we should be able to get along well."

Deputy Director Li said: "Director, let Lao Zhang go, I won't argue with him."

"Okay, that's it!"

Director Qiu immediately made a decision, and then showed longing,

"How I wish this snake head is genuine!"

Today, apart from the dragon heads that may be in Baodao Province, there are still four bronze statues of snake heads, sheep heads, chicken heads and dog heads left outside.

It has always been the unanimous wish of the Yuanmingyuan management office to witness the return of the 12 animal heads.

...

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Da and Cheng Mingming talked about the bronze statue of the snake head.

"I am going to go to Citigroup with the expert group and see the bronze statue with my own eyes. Do you want to go with me?"

Cheng Mingming nodded immediately: "I'll go with you!"

"Ah, I really want to go..." Shao Yu showed a painful expression: "But I can't keep asking for leave from the school, and the final exam will be next month!"

Zhang Da said ruthlessly: "Then you should go back to 'preview' quickly, just let us live in the world of two."

Shao Yu said angrily: "Brother, what is preview? Do you think I am a scumbag like you?"

Zhang Da snorted and said, "Put it down, I heard from my aunt last semester that you failed a subject."

Shao Yu froze for a moment, then struggled and said, "I passed the make-up exam!"

"Oh, scumbag."

Shao Yu argued: "It's difficult to take care of both the career of the up owner and the test scores, okay?"

"Students! I haven't failed any subjects in college."

Shao Yu replied, "Heh, don't you always pass with low scores? I remember that one year, you just got 60 points in one of the exams."

"But I didn't fail the subject, you scumbag."

Shao Yu almost went crazy: "Brother, can we not mention the scumbag?"

"Oh, you failed last semester."

"Sister Mingming." Shao Yu couldn't help but pounced on Cheng Mingming pitifully, "Take care of my brother."

Cheng Mingming smiled and shook his head.

As a graduate student at the University of California, it is really difficult for her to empathize with these two undergraduates.

It's just a final exam, isn't it difficult?

The management office of Yuanmingyuan is very efficient.

Two days later, Zhang Da and his team of experts headed by Director Zhang boarded the flight to New York.

Leaning on the back of the chair, Zhang Da missed his Bombardier 7500 parked at the New York airport very much.

2 Chapter Fifty Appraisal Begins

At the same time, New York night.

Beside an unknown lake, Shimane and Otis are doing night fishing.

With a happy face, Ximang didn't seem to care whether he could catch the fish or not.

He lay leisurely on the soft armchair, watching the movement of the lake from time to time:

"Hey old man, do you remember when was the last night we fished?"

"Maybe it was last year?" Otis stared intently at the lake. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Ximang took out coffee from the incubator beside him: "I'm just surprised that you would give up overtime and invite me to go fishing in New York."

"Of course it's to express my gratitude," Otis said. "Thank you for providing the snake head so that I can hang the big fish."

"You don't have to thank me, I got paid enough."

Xi Mang smiled, "It's convenient for me to disclose, how much price are you going to bid on this snake head?"
