Next to this complete Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln celadon glaze hand-pulled Kung Fu tea cup, there is a Taizu badge with a diameter of about ten centimeters. This badge is a large luminous Taizu badge that is extremely rare nowadays. When Yang Jing bought it at that stall, it only cost him one hundred and fifty yuan. Now, such a large luminous Taizu badge has a starting price of one million yuan.

At that time, Yang Jing collected this badge purely for its appreciation. Among his current collections, there are very few red collections. However, Yang Jing plans to exhibit this badge in the miscellaneous item hall, which will definitely attract the attention of many red souvenir lovers.

Next to the badge is the now extremely rare set of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", which was published by the Jin-Cha-Ji Daily in May 1944, typeset in May 1944, and officially released to the public in September.

This 1944 edition of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" and the large luminous badge placed together will definitely complement each other and become a highlight of the Miscellaneous Hall.

If we include the precious documents acquired during the trip to Panjiayuan, these things put together would definitely cause a sensation.

As for those precious documents and manuscripts collected from Lao Xue, they are even more amazing!

The inaugural issue of New Youth was published on September 15, 1915!

A complete set of 11 volumes, totaling 63 issues of "New Youth"!

Six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun, including "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk", "Huagai Collection" and "Call to Arms"!

These extremely precious manuscripts and documents were purchased by Yang Jing from Xue Renfa at a price of three yuan per pound. If it weren't for the holy ring, how could he have received so many priceless manuscripts and documents at the price of selling junk?

At that time, Yang Jing spent a total of 2,400 yuan to collect 800 kilograms of manuscripts and documents. How much are these manuscripts and documents worth now? Four words - inestimable!

Not only that, Yang Jing later hired Lao Xue to continue purchasing these manuscripts and documents from garbage stations around the city. However, the manuscripts and documents Lao Xue collected were later sent to Pete Wu, and are still in the Hai Siheyuan. Only after he completely takes over the Evil Dragon Fund can he find those manuscripts and documents, organize them together, and then exhibit them.

These precious manuscripts and documents alone are enough for Yang Jing to open an exhibition hall for special exhibition. In fact, Yang Jing did open an exhibition hall on the third floor, named "Republic of China Hall", to exhibit these precious manuscripts and documents from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

In addition to these manuscripts and documents, Yang Jing also spent 800 yuan to buy a unique bronze statue during his trip to Panjiayuan. If the statue, which was nearly 50 centimeters tall and showed the dancing king Shiva receiving the Ganges River, was placed in India, it would definitely cause a sensation. However, Yang Jing was short of money at the time, so after returning, he sent the statue to auction through his fourth master Cai Yi, and finally got 3 million US dollars.

Although the statue of Shiva the King of Dance receiving the Ganges River is also valuable, it is a foreigner's Buddha statue after all, and Yang Jing really has no intention of collecting it. Moreover, the three million US dollars obtained from the statue of Shiva the King of Dance receiving the Ganges River is the starting capital for Yang Jing's big plan. Without the three million, Yang Jing's big plan would be difficult to carry out...

As for the five pieces of ice-type jadeite that Yang Jing gambled from Zhongli Wan's father Zhongli Yao, they were nothing to Yang Jing at the moment. After all, he owned his own jadeite mine in Myanmar, and he had dug out countless pieces of glass-type jadeite. Why would he care about these pieces of ice-type jadeite?

In order to carry out that big plan, Yang Jing finally sold the five pieces of icy jadeite to Chow Tai Fook through Jiang Bin, and received a total of 198 million national currency, equivalent to more than 30 million US dollars. Including the 3 million US dollars he got from selling the statue of Lord of Dance Shiva taking over the Ganges, Yang Jing had the capital for his first speculation in London gold.

In other words, the statue of Lord Shiva receiving the Ganges' descent and the five pieces of icy jade are the starting capital of the Evil Dragon Fund!

Next to these precious documents and manuscripts, there were thirteen painting tubes. Although the paintings in these tubes had not been taken out, Yang Jing knew that these thirteen tubes contained thirteen priceless famous paintings.

Yang Jing bought these thirteen paintings from a warehouse in La Porte, Texas, at a warehouse auction for $2,000. Yang Jing was overwhelmed by the treasures in the warehouse, but he didn't know what was in it. When he opened the warehouse, he found that there was nothing inside except more than a dozen painting tubes and some easels, so he bought the warehouse for only $2,000.

Then, when the warehouse was being cleaned, these thirteen masterpieces that had been stolen for more than twenty years were found among more than a dozen painting tubes.

"The Concert", a masterpiece by Johannes Vermeer, a famous Dutch painter in the 17th century, is worth 250 million US dollars!
