Chapter 243 Mobile ATM

They communicated while drinking tea.

After letting these experts see a lot of good things first, when he explained that they were invited over to appraise the bronze animal heads from the Yuanmingyuan, it gave people a sense of... using jade to attract bricks.

Whether it was the Yuan Dynasty blue and white plate, the two Ru kiln pieces on the shelf, the rare yellow-glazed tea bowl from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, or the gilt bronze Guanyin statue made by the Xuande Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they were all much rarer than a bronze animal head.

The twelve bronze animal heads weren't famous yet. There were too many things that were taken out of the Yuanmingyuan. Nowadays, the famous ones include the *Forty Scenic Views* and the *Admonitions Scroll*. This item wasn't even on the list.

Old Master Tang also saw the experts' doubts and decisively threw the blame on Su Yehao, pointing out that he liked this thing and wanted to ask them to find good treasures outside.

This made the experts suddenly understand.

They thought that hiring them to find treasures overseas was the real deal, and appraisal was just an addition, which made sense.

The old master immediately mentioned that there was a *min fang lei* (square wine vessel) lid in the mainland, but the body was in Japan, and it cost millions of dollars, which was too expensive to buy back, so he wanted Old Master Tang to buy it.

The lid of the vessel is now in the mainland, with eight characters inscribed: "Min Tian Quan Zuo Fu Ji Zun Yi." The inscription on the body of the vessel, which was scattered in Japan, reads "Min Fu Zha Zun Yi," which is a representative work of late Shang Dynasty bronzes.

Even if it's not returned to the mainland for the time being, it can be considered to be in the hands of one's own people. A national treasure-level bronze vessel is now being collected by the Japanese, what's the matter?

Knowing that the significance of this thing is not only an antique, but also a perfect testimony to the long history of the Chinese nation's splendid civilization, and that its collection value exceeds the two bronzes on the Bogu shelf behind him, Old Master Tang immediately became interested.

He couldn't afford so much money himself, but his idea was similar to Su's old man. When he encountered money-burning things... just hit Su Yehao's idea, anyway, his grandson was particularly rich.

After understanding the whole story and finding out the whereabouts of the *min fang lei*, he learned that it was resold by unscrupulous merchants back then, had been collected by Rockefeller, and finally ended up in Japan.

Old Master Tang immediately called Su Yehao and said that he wanted to buy this national treasure and asked Su Yehao to talk to a collector named Nitta Toichi…

"Who's calling you?"

When Su Yehao received the call from the old man, Nong Qingying was lying on the sofa in a camisole.

Her good figure and curves were all in full view, making it hard to take your eyes off her.

She was flipping through the new Japanese fashion magazine. SK-II had just placed an advertisement on it, and had invited Nanako Matsushima and Noriko Sakai to jointly endorse it.

Japanese stars are relatively cheap, and the endorsement price is not expensive. If you go to find a first-line American actress, the cost may be twenty times higher.

With SK-II's current fame, even if you spend enough money, Hollywood's big-name actresses may not be willing to accept it. Compared with some international luxury brands, endorsing it is a self-deprecating act.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yehao said blankly:

"My grandpa wants me to find someone to buy the bronze ware in his hand. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm being treated like a mobile ATM. It seems to cost several million dollars. Grandpa actually said it was a small matter and asked me to buy it back as soon as possible."

Su Yehao didn't understand collecting before, mainly because his grandpa aroused his appetite and created a new hobby.

Nong Qingying was already full and had no desires at the moment. Hearing this, she said happily, "Didn't he divide the family property in advance and give you a large sum of assets? Now that Uncle Tang doesn't have much money on hand, it's reasonable for him to ask you for it."

"Don't mention it. The shares given to me went directly into the family charitable trust fund, and I didn't even see a shadow of it. The money earned is considered the assets of the foundation, and I only have the right to manage it, but compared with other big families, my family has fewer people and a good relationship, which avoids a lot of trouble. This is pretty good."

Su Yehao got up and rubbed his waist, and then said:

"It's fine as long as he likes it, of course I'm going to buy it. Strictly speaking, my mom has one share, I have one share, and my aunt has one share, which means my family has two shares out of three. Fortunately, my aunt is detached and carefree, otherwise it would become a bloody drama of a wealthy family in minutes."

Nong Qingying joked, "Go and make it into a TV series, it must be very interesting. My family only has a fishing boat, so we don't have this kind of trouble at all. Because you are a man, and your grandpa doesn't have a male heir to inherit the family business, it's normal for him to be biased towards you."

"Then let's have a big fat boy as soon as possible, and then change his surname to Tang. If my grandpa is happy, he might give you a mansion on the top of the mountain, with a large garden where you can run horses."

After Su Yehao finished speaking.

He saw Nong Qingying hook her fingers and wink, saying, "Just come on, I don't care anyway, I'm just afraid that some people have already surrendered."

Can this be tolerated?

At least for now, it really can.

Taking a few deep breaths, Su Yehao said harshly, "You wait, let me eat sea cucumber at night, let me replenish myself first..."

Next, he will be busy with roadshows, and there are many other trivial matters. In addition, in order to avoid being regarded as a fool with money, Su Yehao handed over the matter of buying bronze ware for the old man to his subordinates.

The name and address are already known, and as long as the other party is willing to sell, it shouldn't be too troublesome to handle.

In terms of funds, he had to continue borrowing money from the bank for the time being. Su Yehao's personal vault didn't have that many millions of dollars, and his company account was almost drained by him.

Like many other super-rich people, it's true that they have money, but most of it is just assets, and there is very little cash.

Considering that Su Yehao is involved in fewer physical businesses, the demand for cash flow is not that high, so it doesn't really matter whether he has cash or not. It's better to take the money out and continue to make money. When he needs money, he can borrow from the bank. This is the conventional practice.

Putting this matter aside.

Su's old man also called Su Yehao that night.

The father had something to ask for, and his tone was very kind. He told him on the phone:

"Son, where are you busy? I met a few new friends in Si Jiu City at a meeting. They just called again and invited me to get land. I feel that this area of Guomao is very suitable. I'm talking business with the people from Lin'an, and I just happened to have dinner in Guomao. It's accessible in all directions, and there must be money to be made, but unfortunately I'm a little short on cash..."

"...I understand, you can take a look at the land first, and ask about the price before you say anything. Even if you get the land, it's best to pay in installments, talk to them first, and start construction in three or five years."

Su Yehao was a little bald.

On the one hand, he felt that there was not enough funds, and on the other hand, he was very optimistic about the prospects of this place. Investing in Guomao in Si Jiu City now, it would be difficult to lose money in the future. It is a proper central business district.

It's just a slight headache. It's true that there are more long-term investment projects, but Su Yehao's debt ratio is not high. It doesn't cost much to get the land first.

It's rare for the old man to have vision, how can he, as a son, not support him.

On the other end of the phone, Su's old man said happily, "With your words, I'm confident. No wonder others want their sons to become dragons. It turns out that the feeling of reaching out for money is so wonderful. If you have time, come to Si Jiu City to inspect it together. Huang Daxian said that you have soaring wealth, so it's more suitable for you to choose than me. After all, you're the one paying the money."

"..."

He was indeed a little worried.

Su Yehao replied:

"In Tokyo, I can't leave for the time being. Why don't you ask where you can buy it first, and then I'll help you choose a piece of land? I've been to Si Jiu City several times, and I'm quite familiar with that area..."
