Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

1929.

The discovery of the first complete BJ Man skull fossil during field excavation work on Longgu Mountain in Zhoukoudian shocked the world, and the study of Chinese vertebrate paleontology and paleoanthropology officially started.

And because of this, the Cenozoic Research Office of the Geological Survey Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Mining, the predecessor of the Institute of Paleospine, Chinese Academy of Sciences, was established.

Mainly engaged in the excavation and fossil research of the BJ Homo erectus site in Zhoukoudian.

But few people know that the team that actually discovered and excavated is dominated by the Morgan family.

This site was discovered in August 1921 by the Swedish geologist Anderson and the American and Austrian paleontologist Shi Danski. However, due to the backwardness of China at that time, the United States was the real leader in excavation and preservation.

During World War II, due to concerns about the safety of fossils, the United States planned to transport the BJ human skull and other fossil materials to the American Museum of Natural History for preservation.

However, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army quickly occupied all the institutions of the United States in North China, including Xiehe Hospital, and their whereabouts were unknown during the transfer, which became a mystery in history.

Because of this, the only true specimen that survived later was a BJ human skull model discovered from the top accumulation layer in 1966.

As Lian En introduced the provenance and historical value of the fossil on the stage, Shen Jiannan looked at the vertebral fossil in the glass cover, his eyes flickering on and off.

The question of the origin of man, it seems, is a mere discovery of history.

Many people later accepted that ancient humans originated in Africa because people found fossils of humans who could walk upright more than 4 million years ago and 1.5 to 3 million years ago.

As a result, the earliest European origin theory was completely overthrown.

But in fact, the problem has never been so simple.

From the origin of Europe to the origin of Africa, if we analyze it in terms of time and politics, we will find that they all serve the interests of all countries.

It is also the so-called African origin theory that the British colonization of other countries is illegal, which indirectly overthrew the rule of the empire on which the sun never sets.

the truth?

On this word is enough to explain everything.

In the face of political demands, the truth is not that important.

It is precisely because of the profound political significance hidden behind it that Chinese archaeologists have successively invested a lot of manpower and material resources to refute the so-called single origin theory with fossil chains.

For that sentence - it's hard to believe that we modern humans all originated in Africa.

But unfortunately, there are always people with cerebral palsy who ignore the so-called theory of origin and regard it as the truth.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Shen Jiannan directly. He is just thinking about what Soros' purpose is for making such a move at this time.

coincide?

Certainly not.

With the handwriting of a person like Soros, how could it be a coincidence.

Shen Jiannan glanced at Soros calmly. This old guy's trick is really full of meaning.

It may be that they want to see their true background, it may be to force themselves to take sides, it may be to win over themselves with good intentions, or it may be to use their name as the Democratic Party to create momentum.

After all, the theme of this banquet is to raise funds for the Democratic Party candidates. With his current influence in the global financial market, if he photographs this fossil, it will be enough to add a lot of points to the Democratic Party.

And this can also test whether you are Japanese or Chinese.

If it is a Chinese person, then this will be a wooing and goodwill.

aside.

Soros looked at Shen Jiannan with deep meaning, carefully observing every expression on his face, hoping to see something from his face.

In order to prepare this fossil, he took a lot of effort to get it from a collector.

But unfortunately, Soros didn't see anything.

There was no abnormality on that young face, and there was nothing abnormal in those dark eyes.

Soros felt a little disappointed.

Just as Shen Jiannan thought about it, he hoped to use the fossil to show his goodwill, but at the same time, he could completely draw Shen Jiannan into his ally.

Capital One's influence in Europe is too great.

Soros had to consider what kind of impact Capital One would have on Quantum Fund and even the global financial market in the future.

But this influence can become its own strength if we cooperate with each other.

With Shen Jiannan's current reputation, his every move has attracted the attention of global capital and the government. As long as he shows that he is buying and bidding, then everyone will regard him as a supporter of the Democratic Party candidate.

Moreover, it can also be used to determine his identity.

If it has a close relationship with China, it will be of great help to the US economy.

However, Soros was not frustrated because he didn't see anything. Now that he was able to talk to him, it would be strange if someone could see what he was thinking at a glance.

The reserve price for this lot is $10,000. Each increase must not be less than $1,000.

As Lynn's hammer fell, the auction officially began.

It's just that compared with the fierce competition before, the bidders for this fossil from China lacked interest, and no one rushed to bid at the beginning.

This is a matter of course.

Except for those who have studied paleontology and biogeology, who would be interested in a piece of stone that is hundreds of thousands of years old.

Unless, this fossil has special meaning to him.

The people who came to this banquet were either innovative technology entrepreneurs or financiers, only ghosts would be interested in such meaningless things.

Of course, just because no one is interested in something doesn't mean no one will auction it off.

Quantum Fund's reputation on Wall Street is enough to prompt many people to use it to gain Soros' favor.

Twenty thousand dollars.

Finally, someone tried to raise the sign and shouted.

This shout was like opening the silence.

Subsequently, many people joined the ranks of the auction.

It didn't take long for the price of the fossil to soar, soaring to 150,000 U.S. dollars.

But just like the previous auction for Buffett's pocket watch, the price of $150,000 immediately discouraged many people.

Buying a meaningless fossil and only getting Soros' attention that may or may not exist, everyone has to consider whether it is worthwhile or not.

At this moment, Buffett raised the sign in his hand.

Half a million dollars.

This is undoubtedly a sky-high price.

The guests who were discussing a lot were stunned, and they immediately glanced at Buffett, and when they saw the deity clearly, they suddenly realized.

Isn't this what business is all about.

The world of the rich is really infuriating.

Five hundred thousand was just spent.

Watching Buffett raise the sign to bid for the price, Shen Jiannan moved his eyes and raised the sign in his hand.

One million dollars!

Another million.

All the eyes in the audience looked at Shen Jiannan in unison, some were puzzled, some were confused, some were shocked, and some faintly couldn't believe it.

Even rich people, why don't they bring such prodigals!

It's so rough.

Jesus. It's him again. Who the hell is he?

Oh my god. A million bucks for a meaningless fossil. Is he crazy?

The world of the rich is really incomprehensible.

People who can go to this kind of occasion are also rich people in the eyes of ordinary people, but many people still can't imagine that someone will pay a million dollars to buy a piece of fossil.

Many people talked about Shen Jiannan's identity, and some people asked his friends who had a lot of friends, what is the identity of this young man who seems to be only in his early twenties, and actually raised a huge sum of millions of dollars twice in a row.

He. I look familiar. It seems to be Shen Jiannan.

Shen Jiannan? Who is he?

God. You don't even know Shen Jiannan?

Is he famous?

God. Use your brains, he's standing with Buffett and Soros, doesn't that remind you of something?

Oh Maikar. Could it be him?

what are you guys saying?

George. Have you forgotten the article published by the Wall Street Journal before. The man who broke the Bank of England seems to be also called Shen Jiannan.

That demon from the east? God, why is he here.

.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Without much effort, the news of the Eastern Devil coming to the United States almost spread throughout the banquet hall.

Pairs of eyes looked at Shen Jiannan, with admiration, madness, resentment, shock, and obsession.

Men who speculate in the financial market seem to be looking at their idols. Many of them have long regarded Shen Jiannan as their life goal in their hearts.

Of course, this is the man who made the money.

Some well-informed guy made a fortune shorting the pound.

As for those guys who suffered a lot from having their underwear stripped off, they looked resentful, cursing this bastard who only knew his name but ransacked himself.

Women have more ideas.

Just the name of the man who broke the Bank of England is enough to make people feel hot all over.

And this man looks so young and handsome, his heart beats faster just by looking at him, and he instinctively wants to clamp his legs tightly.

He is so handsome.

How romantic it would be if I could communicate with him once.

On the host stage, Lian En's eyes were already shining, and because of excitement, a blush appeared on her fair complexion.

It would be a great honor for such a dignified man to get close to himself for two consecutive million dollars.

Clenching her legs and finally restraining the excitement in her heart, Lian En glanced at Shen Jiannan affectionately, and excitedly shouted to the surroundings: This noble gentleman bids one million dollars! Is there any higher price?

Once in a million!

A million times!

.

Without any accident, this auction item finally fell into the hands of Shen Jiannan.

Oh. Shen. You are so generous.

Watching the waiter deliver the items, Buffett seemed a little frustrated and said, as if he was hit by Shen Jiannan's million dollars.

For this, Shen Jiannan showed a hint of apology just right.

I'm really sorry. This is a cultural relic from China. As a Chinese, I have to buy him.

This sentence made Soros and Buffett's eyes meet for a moment, and smiles appeared on their faces at the same time.

Buffett changed his frustration and said with a smile: I was just joking. Congratulations on achieving your wish.

Thanks!

Soros said with a smile: Shen. Aren't you going to shoot something?

Oh. You know, I didn't know it was an auction before I came here.

Soros patted his forehead, and said with some embarrassment: Quietly. It's all my fault that I forgot to remind you. But it's okay. Anything is fine, just like what you see.

George was right, it doesn't matter what you donate.

The singing and harmony of the two made Shen Jiannan show a strange smile. He looked at Buffett and said, Anything can be auctioned?

certainly.

Oh well.

As he spoke, Shen Jiannan took out the banknotes he carried with him, turned around, and wrote a line.

Because it was not easy to peek, Soros and Buffett looked at each other, not knowing what this guy was writing.

Is this okay?

What's this?

Temporarily confidential.
