Chapter 790 (1/2)
In theory, the twelve animals are the twelve open-air faucets in the Old Summer Palace.
Regardless of material, technology and historical origin.
Can't be called a ”rare treasure”.
There are more treasures of extraordinary historical value and great cultural significance in the Old Summer Palace.
Twelve outdoor taps?
No number at all!
But when they were given the history of national war and national shame, their significance became more profound and strange.
……
”Hum! After killing and setting the fire, these ghosts who looted the Old Summer Palace will start talking about history and civilization and playing financial games. ”
”Now set fire to hype.” Zhuang Shikai finished reading the folded auction announcement in the newspaper, put the newspaper back on the desktop and snorted coldly.
What is the most valuable thing in the world? It is not gold, silver, jewelry and other minerals, nor is it industrial products such as aircraft and artillery.
It's not even an invention that changes life and rewrites the human process.
It's emotion!
The most illusory thing is the most valuable, the most illusory thing is the most expensive.
In a sense, love, friendship, national feelings, every event related to ”love” can't be priced!
Equivalent to priceless!
Of course, it is not the real price when it is refined.
Love can be destroyed by materials, friendship can be defiled by money, and national emotions can be used to sell interests.
But when you believe, it is priceless.
This is where feelings are different from all materials.
It is also the softest place in the heart.
”Patta.” Zhuang Shikai opened the drawer, took out a box of cigars, opened the lid, took out one, and burned it quietly with a lighter.
”In addition to the horse heads I took back from the cultural relics dealers, the remaining 11 animal heads were all held by foreign ghosts.”
”Most of these animal heads were held in the hands of senior commanders of the Eight Power Allied forces in those years, and a few went to some businessmen and collectors.”
”Ghosts are good at it! Holding 11 animal heads, we will release goods step by step in the future, sell them round by round, and push up the price again and again! ” Zhuang Shikai thought about the cigar head with his fingertips, watched the cigar rise and rise, and deeply smelled the aroma of the cigar.
And the tricks of the ghost guys about the twelve animal heads.
Lord Zhuang has seen through it for a long time.
In other words, the vast majority of Chinese people who were born in later generations and experienced ghost guy auctions again and again can see the layout of ghost guy.
First of all, the value of the twelve animal heads is not high.
Without hype.
How much is the faucet worth?
Secondly, the number of twelve animal heads is enough to pinch goods, raise prices one after another, create public opinion, and finally lengthen the timeline to tens, hundreds, or even hundreds of years, reaping the wealth of Chinese one after another.
Finally, we can also use the animal head to stir up the mood of the Chinese nation, combat the pride of the Chinese nation and win some political needs. If necessary, you can also exchange animal heads for interests.
This move is one arrow and three eagles!
As for those national treasures that do not need to be auctioned at high prices, most of them can be directly auctioned at high prices.
In addition, because the number is extremely rare, unlike the Yuanmingyuan beast head, there is a large series of 12, which can be played slowly, so there is no room for speculation.
”Take the cheapest things and sell the most expensive sky high prices. Twelve are the most successful auction marketing cases after World War II.” Zhuang Shikai put down his lighter, loosened his cigar into his mouth, frowned and took a sip.
This success is nothing more than the use of Chinese patriotism to defraud Chinese wealth.
A robber ransacks your house, sells all your good things, and then sells them back to you at the cheapest price.
And sell slowly one by one. You have to compete with each other and buy at the most expensive price.
You know, for decades, the whereabouts of dragon head, snake head, sheep head and chicken head are still unknown.
If the Chinese Zodiac also symbolizes the Chinese spirit.
Those dragon heads are Chinese totems!
The dragon head has not appeared yet. The people inside obviously know Chinese and business know-how
”In recent years, some traditional scholars in China have written novels, magazines and biographies.”
”There are also some historical columns and popular science programs that more or less mention the twelve animal heads of the Old Summer Palace.”
”It's hard not to doubt that they are writing soft articles and building momentum for something.”
Zhuang Shikai sighed.
Of course, the most influential is a text.
However, some build momentum, some take advantage of it, and history is there. Scholars want to write, and there is no way to write influence.
”It is certain that the horse head to be sent abroad should be the last one.”
”Overseas speculators are not necessarily one. There may also be a group of people who don't even know each other, but they have a copper head and unconsciously join the speculator group.”
”However, this speculator group should have a core.”
”The core of this speculator group found it impossible to get the horse head and sent twelve animal capitals abroad.”
”I can only take eleven animal heads and start speculation in advance...”
Zhuang Shikai smoked a cigar, picked up the phone and called Yang Jianhua first.
First of all, he asked Yang Jianhua to inform the people of the domestic publicity department not to report the auction of the twelve animal heads.
Don't add fuel and vinegar, frequently report the history of the twelve animal heads, avoid arousing domestic national emotions and be an accomplice to foreign speculators
Second, he asked Serena to stare at the auction house.
He wants to gather together the twelve animal heads of the Old Summer Palace as a gift to make the twelve animal heads return to the motherland together with Hong Kong Island!
