Hello 1983

The newspapers have said that Mr. Mountain's current net worth is at least a few billion. There is no pressure at all to raise a team.

But Liu Qingshan does not want to set up a football club in Germany, the Germans are a bit conservative.

Liu Qingshan didn't like the teams in the Apennine Peninsula very much. Although the results were good, the concept of stalwart defense was really lacking in appreciation.

In addition, La Liga is also relatively popular, but La Liga is not easy to deal with. It is too self-righteous, and racial discrimination will always break out.

Liu Qingshan is more interested in the current English league, which is later the Premier League, which is relatively popular.

So for Beckenbauer's hint, Liu Qingshan could only smile back, saying that he didn't know much about football, and that he would hire a professional team to inspect the leagues of various countries.

The head coach is really embarrassed to expose him: You still don't understand football, I heard that you won more than 1000 million with 5000 million!

Beckenbauer is also a veteran of the world, knowing that Liu Qingshan doesn't like the Bundesliga, so he changed the subject and talked about other things.

While they were having a happy conversation, several people walked in. Looking at their posture, they must be officials from West Germany.

Sure enough, Beckenbauer got up to say hello enthusiastically, and among them was Merkel, the deputy finance minister.

Liu Qingshan also shook hands with them politely, but pondered in his heart: Could it be because of me?

He really guessed it right. This Mr. Merkel quickly got to the point. Speaking of it, it was Liu Qingshan's Longteng Company, which hoarded East German marks, which was a bit too eye-catching.

After all, more than [-] million yuan is not a small amount of money even for the government.

Merkel said that according to the original plan, for more than 50 East German marks, they will be exchanged at a ratio of four to one.

In this way, Longteng Company is basically busy for nothing.

However, Merkel also said that considering Liu Qingshan's support for West Germany in this World Cup, he still maintains a ratio of two to one.

Liu Qingshan also expressed his gratitude with a smile, since everyone has said so, there is no need to add extra details.

If the other party really doesn't pay attention to it and exchange it at a ratio of four to one, Liu Qingshan must have a good reasoning with them.

After all, the money is all from Longteng Trading Company, which has been accumulated over the years, and it is not speculation, so it is reasonable to sue it in the international court.

After the World Cup ended, Jade Bird mobile phone sales were gratifying, so Liu Qingshan was in a good mood, so he led Wu Tong for a few days in the Apennine Peninsula.

The two wandered together in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and rowed together in the water city of Venice. The small days were very pleasant.

A week later, Wu Tong joined several producers of the Lion King animation and flew to the United States. They wanted to promote the animation in the United States.

Liu Qingshan asked Lu Liang to follow Wu Tong as a follower, and he flew back to France with Lu Fang, because that was the first stop of the Heart to Heart Art Troupe.

It was still Victor's manor, old friends were reunited, and Victor swung the red wine in his glass: "Liu, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

Leo next to him was a little dissatisfied: "Liu, why do you always bet on the right match, but I lose more than 1 francs?"

It's right to lose, because most people lose.

Liu Qingshan gently clinked glasses with Victor: "Leo, because you are stupid, why didn't you lose like Victor?"

"He didn't bet at all, okay!" Leo muttered again.

Liu Qingshan laughed loudly: "That's right, those who stand on the sidelines are the masters."

The three chatted very happily. Victor also invited Liu Qingshan to participate in the auction tomorrow, and Liu Qingshan readily agreed.

In foreign countries, there are so many large and small auction companies, the one Liu Qingshan and the others participated in can barely be regarded as a medium-sized auction house.

The old auction hall can accommodate 300 people, but only less than [-] people are seated.

Liu Qingshan took over a list of auction items, most of which were gadgets, silver tableware, items used by a certain celebrity, and some unknown oil painters' works, etc.

Foreign artworks are a little different from domestic ones in that in addition to the value of artworks themselves, they also pay more attention to celebrity effects.

Just like Sherlock Holmes's pipe, if it is put up for auction, it will definitely sell for a lot of money.

The premise is that Holmes's pipe really exists.

For these lots, Liu Qingshan was not very interested, but one of the bronze wares attracted Liu Qingshan's attention.

Looking at the mighty bronze horse head on the roster, Liu Qingshan rubbed his eyes subconsciously: Could it be one of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals in Yuanmingyuan?

These animal heads caused a lot of commotion later on, and there were scrambles for them. In the end, a few of them were still missing.

The animal head appeared at the auction, and the price skyrocketed. At first it was several million, and later it was tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

But before that, like in the 80s, animal heads were really worthless.

In 1985, an antique dealer in the United States accidentally discovered a bronze statue of a horse head in a private house, along with the heads of an ox and a tiger.

The antique dealer bought these three animal heads at a price of US$1500 each.

Note that it is [-] US dollars, and there is no [-]D behind it.

The price of the same item has increased tens of thousands of times in 30 to [-] years. This is of course the malicious hype of those unscrupulous antique dealers.

This horse head must be taken!

In Liu Qingshan's mind, only this voice was left shouting.

But he calmed down quickly, since Uncle Lu wasn't here, he couldn't tell the authenticity of the animal head.

Fortunately, Lu Fang followed, and this kid has also learned from Uncle Lu for several years, so it should be no problem to identify animal heads.

So Liu Qingshan handed the album to Lu Fang, and pointed to the picture of the horse head.

But Lu Fang was a little confused: "What kind of shape is this? Is it a copper art product from Europe?"

Nowadays, the reputation of the twelve beast heads is not obvious, and the fame has not been hyped, so most people don't know their existence.

Liu Qingshan whispered to him: The animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs were originally placed in the Old Summer Palace, and they were all animal heads with human bodies. Every hour, the mouth of the corresponding animal head would spew water jets to tell the time.

At noon, the twelve animal heads sprayed water together, which was very spectacular.

This object was produced under the supervision of the famous foreign craftsman Castiglione during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

The ancient method of copper smelting is adopted, and various alloys are added, so it has never rusted after 200 years.

According to Castiglione's original intention, he wanted to make a sculpture of twelve nude women, but later the emperor said it was indecent, so he changed it to the twelve zodiac signs that are more in line with Chinese characteristics.

After listening to Liu Qingshan's introduction, Lu Fang was also shocked: "Boss, this thing is more precious than Xuande furnace, we must take it!"

"You should first identify whether the time is right, don't get a foreigner's imitation, it will be a loss." Liu Qingshan reminded, and Lu Fang nodded vigorously.

The two of them were muttering in Mandarin here, and the people next to them couldn't understand except for Victor and Leo.

"Liu, if you're interested in this, I'll help you take a picture." Victor was cunning and didn't plan to ask Liu Qingshan to take action.

Liu Qingshan also agreed with Victor's proposal, the general auction house has babysitters who will help raise the price.

During the World Cup, Liu Qingshan gained a lot of limelight. If someone recognized him as the rich and powerful Mr. Mountain, the price would definitely go up to the sky.

Soon, the auction started, and Liu Qingshan called out the price several times, but it was quickly replaced by a higher price.

Instead, Victor bought a set of silver tableware, which is said to be from Queen Victoria's time, which made him laugh from ear to ear.

Finally it was the turn of the animal head to appear on the stage. Some staff members lifted out the horse head that was placed in the square plate. It was about half the size of a real horse head, but it was not light at all.

The British and French allied forces back then probably thought it was mixed with precious gold, so they went all the way to get it back.

The auction hall is not big, so Liu Qingshan sitting below can see it clearly.

The horse's head is deep in color, the precious light is restrained, and its shape is very mighty, and the curly mane is fully visible.

Liu Qingshan basically believes that this must be genuine.

And Lu Fang also nodded slightly to him. Although he didn't get used to it, this kind of craftsmanship is obviously not something that ordinary people can imitate.

The reserve price of the auction is also staggering: [-] US dollars.

Not many people were interested in this beast head, and only a few people bid, and the price was raised several times before it could reach [-] US dollars.

"Six thousand five hundred dollars!"

Victor called a price, which suddenly increased by 500 yuan, but no one bid anymore.

A bronze horse head was finally sold for [-] US dollars, can you believe it?

During the whole process, there was no disturbance at all, no thrilling bids, and no scrambles between you and me. It was nothing more than ordinary, and even being called Liu Qingshan felt a little unreal.

He has experienced later generations, and he often hears that some precious cultural relics in China cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in auctions.

In fact, in this era, Huaxia's antiques are underestimated, and the scene like this is really normal.

Suppressing his excited mood, Liu Qingshan looked at Lu Fang beside him, thinking: In the past two years, let Lu Fang and his brothers buy back Chinese antiques at major auctions in Europe.

Firstly, Liu Qingshan has this kind of economic strength, and secondly, taking advantage of the low price now, he can avoid wasting money.

When the auction was over and Victor paid for the goods, he asked casually:

"This thing seems to be a set of animal heads. Do you have any others here?"

Chapter 855 The world is big, full of wonders

When Liu Qingshan and his party left the auction house, they had gained a lot.

A total of [-] US dollars was spent, and then three animal heads were harvested, namely the head of a horse, the head of a cow, and the most powerful tiger head.

"This thing is too heavy, I really don't know what's the use of taking it back?" Leo kept complaining while holding the cow's head.

"give me!"

Liu Qingshan held a box containing animal heads in one hand, not to mention just the animal heads, even if he carried his body together, he could carry them on his back.

He got three beast heads all at once, why didn't Liu Qingshan be overjoyed?

The point is that it only cost 2000 U.S. dollars. If it is left to future generations, [-] million won’t be able to buy it.

In a good mood, Liu Qingshan teased Leo: "Go back and put it on your head, and dress you up like a bull's head and a horse's face."

"Tauren warrior?" Leo was really moved.

"No, it's in the myths and legends of our country that the underworld is responsible for arresting people." Liu Qingshan explained to him.

However, even many locals can't understand China's extensive and profound mythology system, let alone a silly foreigner like Leo.

Driving back to Victor's manor, Liu Qingshan told him one thing, telling Lu Fang to stay here and collect the antiques lost overseas by Huaxia.

Apart from the auction house, there are actually more private transactions, because many collections are collected by some ancient families. In this regard, Victor's contacts are needed.

Victor also expressed his support. He visited Liu Qingshan's private museum of antiques and was shocked by the dazzling array of collections inside.

That night, Liu Qingshan went to the airport to pick up the plane, and seeing Gao Lingfeng leading the Heart to Heart Art Troupe under the big tree appeared, Liu Qingshan also felt very cordial.

"elder brother!"

Accompanied by two shouts of joy, two flamboyant little girls ran towards Liu Qingshan, they weren't just the fourth and fifth.

Haha, probably because they happened to be on summer vacation, so they followed.

This really surprised Liu Qingshan, he opened his arms and asked the two little girls to throw themselves into his arms, his brother's arm was their strongest support.

Liu Qingshan rubbed his two little brains: "How is the test result?"

"Shan Xing is still number one, and I'm promoted to second this time!" Xiao Laosi reported proudly.

Liu Qingshan was very satisfied: "Didn't you follow me and love my family to film?"

"The actors haven't been selected yet, brother, where's sister Wu Tong?" The fourth child was a little puzzled when he didn't see Wu Tong.

"Going to the country of America." Liu Qingshan saw Gao Lingfeng and others approaching, let go of the two little girls, and greeted everyone.

Amidst the "boss" greetings, Liu Qingshan cheerfully gave everyone a high-five.

"Boss, I saw your camera at the opening ceremony of the World Cup." The little stool also jumped up and hugged Liu Qingshan's arm, chattering:

"The most powerful ones are Big Brother Cui and Big Sister Zhang. It's amazing that they can sing while being broadcast all over the world!"

Old Cui and Big Sister Zhang in the crowd also looked at Liu Qingshan and smiled. They knew best, if there was no boss, how would they have the chance to be on that level of stage?

Liu Qingshan was in the team, saw the girls from Twelve Band, and the performance team of Avalokitesvara, and also found Xiao Jinzi very unexpectedly.

It seems that this girl is also on summer vacation, so she came with her to increase her knowledge.

Little Jinzi is two years younger than the fourth and fifth children, so they can just play together.

Soon, the host's reception staff also came to welcome them, as well as embassy staff, journalists, etc. The scene was quite lively.

After all, the Heart to Heart Art Troupe has already achieved some fame, and is no longer an unknown and unknown group.

After a brief welcome ceremony, it was time for reporters to interview.

But these reporters poked their microphones in front of Liu Qingshan one after another, and when it came to topics, of course Liu Qingshan was the most important.
