There seemed to be another one made of the same material at the time, but the seller was asking for one million euros, so he couldn't bring himself to buy it.
“Zhang, I bought this thing in France for 100,000 euros. It’s not worth much. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
"Oh, right, I'll give you another clue. When I bought it, the store had another one, which cost ten times as much as this one. I thought it was too expensive, so I didn't buy it. I don't know if it's still there."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Chatchai, thank you so much for telling me this news. May our friendship last forever.
As long as I remain the owner of Red Dragon Company, you will be our company's sole agent throughout Southeast Asia.
I'll say the same thing to anyone else in your family: I only recognize you.
Hearing Zhang Long say this, Chachai laughed happily; this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
So he gave Zhang Long the address where he had bought things last time.
With the clue of the bronze head, Zhang Long changed his itinerary at the last minute, hurriedly completed the necessary procedures for handing over the cultural relic, and flew alone to France.
He then had his girlfriend, Xin Xin, take the company team, the ram's head they had brought back, and the seven stone Buddha statues back to Shanghai on the Yu Kun family's private jet.
When Mr. Hu, who was far away in Shanghai, heard that his daughter had brought back a national treasure from her recent trip, he was initially a little incredulous.
But when he saw the photo of the ram's head, he was already more than half convinced.
He also heard that after learning the whereabouts of the other bronze head, Zhang Long immediately flew to France.
The other half also believed it, after all, France was one of the BGLJ countries back then, so it was normal to find the bronze head there.
He immediately began to think about how to maximize the benefits from this opportunity.
He personally led the team to the airport to pick up his daughter, and when he saw the national treasure that had been lost for more than a hundred years, he still felt a little unreal.
On her way home, Hu Xinxin told her father the whole story.
Just then, Zhang Long appeared in a remote town in Nantes, France, the very place where Chatchai had purchased the animal heads!
Zhang Long is also fluent in French and has no problem communicating with the locals. He found the antique shop he had visited before in no time.
However, when he saw the so-called treasure of the store, he was stunned. It was a dragon head. Although he didn't know anything about appraising treasures, his intuition told him that this thing was a bit strange.
It seems to be a different style from the batch from the Old Summer Palace. He frowned and shook his head in disappointment.
Even if this thing is an antique, what he needs are the animal heads from the Old Summer Palace.
Just when Zhang Long thought he might have made a wasted trip, the shop owner immediately noticed that he didn't seem very satisfied with the item and asked him if he really wanted to buy it.
These foreigners are very pragmatic; they'll sell you anything as long as you pay them!
He pretended to be very dissatisfied and told the shop owner, "I heard from a friend that you have this thing here, so I came all the way from Paris. If you still have it, take it out quickly, otherwise I'm going back later."
It turns out that the boss really did have a bronze head in his warehouse, but it had been there for a long time and he would need to spend some time looking for it.
So he closed the shop and took Zhang Long to the warehouse in the backyard.
As soon as I opened the door, a thick cloud of dust hit me, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.
Zhang Long casually picked up a bottle or jar from the bamboo basket next to him and began to examine it; the porcelain was exquisite.
There seemed to be something else inside. Out of curiosity, Zhang Long took out the items and examined them, confirming that these porcelain pieces were the treasures that BGLJ had looted from the Old Summer Palace.
The lucky coin in his hand has the words "Peace Under Heaven" on it, and it's usually used as a pendant for palace lanterns, so it's quite a fine piece.
Now Zhang Long wasn't in a hurry anymore. Seeing the shopkeeper still rummaging through the items, he leisurely started looking at the exquisite copper coins on the ground.
Hey, these copper coins are obviously from the palace. He might misjudge other things, but he's an expert at identifying these ancient coins.
And there are quite a lot of ancient coins here, there are actually several baskets of them!
Yes, they used one of those small boxes for holding game coins.
Zhang Long immediately got excited, found a small stool, and began to leisurely admire the exquisite copper coins.
I can tell from their appearance that these are genuine products, absolutely authentic!
It's obvious that these are descendants of foreigners who don't understand these things, plus the town is quite remote.
His mind started racing. Since there were so many old items here, he decided to become a junk collector.
Just as Zhang Long was lost in his daydreams, the boss suddenly came out with something in his hand.
"Look, this is it. I don't know if this is what you're looking for?"
"If not, then I don't have any here!"
Zhang Long stared intently, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. The dusty bronze statue in front of him was none other than the long-lost snake-headed bronze statue, only it was not a dragon head.
The difference between these two is enormous. All the other twelve bronze heads from the Old Summer Palace combined might not even be as attractive as the dragon head.
After all, don't Chinese people all say they are descendants of the dragon?
Fortunately, it's good to have a snake head on this trip. We already know there's a sheep head, and with the unknown bronze head, plus this snake head, that makes three.
So he started to argue with the shop owner, but the shop owner was clearly not satisfied with the price.
Finally, make sure Zhang Long brings the dragon head item with him, otherwise we won't sell it separately.
However, this deal was clearly exactly what Zhang Long wanted, and he pretended to be somewhat troubled as he thought about it.
In the end, Zhang Long acquired the snake head, the object outside that resembled a dragon head, and a large amount of copper coins and a bunch of vases as extras for 1.1 million euros, thus completing the transaction.
While the boss went to get the certificate, Zhanlong began to carefully examine the snake head in front of him. Seeing this was as if he saw the scene of BGLJ burning down the Old Summer Palace. He shook his head and decided not to look at it anymore.
Seeing too much of this will affect your Daoist mind.
It's more interesting to snag these bargains from foreigners; these items are 100% genuine.
Since counterfeit goods are based on the premise of making a profit, and since the genuine products can't be sold right now, the counterfeit goods are brought in and put here to be sold.
When he took the receipt from the boss, he casually asked, "Boss, what are you going to do with these leftover bottles and jars? A colleague of mine likes these things. If the price is right, I'll take them with me and sell them to him to make a profit."
This is the third update tonight. Dear readers, the book will soon be put to a book test. Please help me come up with five titles. Thank you!
Also, I'd like to receive a gift and a five-star review!
