Chapter 296: Auctioned for an astronomical price



He examined it again and again with a magnifying glass, then suddenly slammed his fist on the table in excitement: "I never imagined that the Great Ming Kingdom, as recorded in unofficial historical records, actually existed!"

"Da Mingguo?"

"Teacher, how come I've never heard of this dynasty before?"

"This dynasty existed during a period of great division in history. The country existed for a very short time, almost like a flash in the pan. It is not recorded in official history, and there are only a few mentions in unofficial history."

"But those of us who study history believe in the existence of this country."

After finishing speaking, Teacher Zhang picked up the cup and examined it closely, her affection evident in her expression: "I never expected your cup to be so well preserved."

Su Yujiao's eyes widened in surprise. There was actually a Great Ming Kingdom in unofficial history!

But that's good, this cup should fetch a good price now.

"Teacher, how is the Great Ming Kingdom recorded in historical documents?"

"Is there any record of how the Great Ming Kingdom declined, and why it did not continue in the long river of history?"

"According to historical records, a great virus broke out in the Great Ming Kingdom. The people were like walking corpses, tearing each other apart, infecting each other, and then quickly perishing."

Li Qian's eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "Holy crap, isn't this a zombie apocalypse?"

"I never knew there was a zombie virus outbreak in ancient times!"

"This is terrifying!"

Su Yujiao's face turned pale. Professor Zhang's words basically confirmed her guess: the Gu cultist in her dream had really erupted.

It seems necessary to quickly prepare food supplies and a base.

"Teacher, what price do you think this cup should be valued at?"

Teacher Zhang shook his head: "I won't overvalue it. After all, this is the first and only artifact from the Great Ming Kingdom, so it has no reference value."

"But one thing I'm certain of is that this thing is priceless."

"Teacher, if I want to sell this cup, could you help me find a way?"

"I urgently need money."

"The goods came from a legitimate source, and there are traces to follow."

Li Qian explained the background of Su Yujiao's story and the difficulties she was currently facing.

"Here's what I'll do: I'll get you an auction house ticket, and you can use it to bid."

“Teacher, I don’t know much about the rules of auctioning antiques, and I’m a nobody in this industry. I’m afraid people will cheat me, and I’m also afraid people won’t believe in my stuff.”

"Could you go to the auction in my place?"

“I know this is a rule in this industry, and I will give you a cut according to industry rules.”

After considering it for a moment, Teacher Zhang agreed, according to the industry standard of 10/90 split.

After all, some high-end auctions require people with status and assets to enter, and ordinary people don't even have the right to get in.

Three days later, the cup was finally sold for 380 million.

Su Yujiao gave 10% to Teacher Zhang, and kept the rest for herself.

She really didn't expect that such a small cup could be so valuable.

After the auction ended, the person who bought her cup wanted to see her and asked if she had any other good items.

Su Yujiao told the other party that she had plenty of good stuff, but she had one condition.

If the other party is willing to act as a matchmaker, she will give them a vase as a thank you gift.

She asked the other party to find her a rich second-generation boyfriend who owned a private museum and whose father had died, so that her things could be obtained legitimately.

The other party immediately said that he had a son at home who was tall and handsome, and that he was a good match for her.

The young woman was beautiful and had a sack of priceless antiques; he truly cherished such a daughter-in-law.

Su Yujiao politely declined: "It would kill my father!"

"..."

The other person gave an awkward smile; he couldn't risk his life for a vase.

"Let me think about it."

"There really is one."

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to meet him. He's a very handsome young man, and his father died a year ago. He perfectly fits your criteria."

Su Yujiao wasn't afraid of being kidnapped, since she could time travel at any time.

After the three met, they quickly reached a cooperation agreement.

Su Yujiao gave the matchmaker a vase, and then gave her fake boyfriend a vase.

We'll have a way to produce more products in the future!

They're not afraid of being investigated. Someone who can casually spend three or four hundred million yuan to buy a teacup must have a powerful background.

"Uncle Wang, Mr. Tang, could you help me get some things?"

"What does Miss Su want?"

The two of them fiddled with the vase in their hands and asked casually.

"I need a large amount of supplies, including food, drink, daily necessities, steel bars, cement, sand, and a lot of weapons as well."

"Weapons?" The two were taken aback at the same time.

"What kind of weapon do you want? This thing is hard to come by!"

The two looked at her with curiosity. What did this pretty little girl need a weapon for?

"Not tanks and cannons, but swords, spears, and halberds, forged from fine steel, unsharpened is fine."

"I want to invest in a movie for myself, using swords, guns, and armor as props."

"I use reinforced concrete to build film studios. Those existing film studios are poorly made and I don't like them."

The two of them laughed at the same time: "Hehehe, I didn't expect Miss Su to have a dream of making movies."

Su Yujiao smiled and said, "Being a star is so glamorous, who wouldn't want to be the center of attention?"

"Besides, am I not good-looking enough to debut as an artist?"

"Perfect, perfect. Miss Su's looks are definitely those of a leading lady."

"Then I'll leave the preparation of supplies to you two. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Mr. Wang laughed and said, "That's easy to say. My main business is real estate, and collecting is just a side business."

"We just got the cement; we can take as much as you want."

"The Tang family is even more powerful; they want a share of every profitable industry."

Su Yujiao smiled, her eyes crinkling into two lines: "Then thank you both very much."

Tang Shi looked her up and down, then suddenly asked, "Miss Su, do you have a boyfriend?"

Su Yujiao gave a cold look: "You want to turn this fake relationship into a real one?"

The man touched his nose: "Ahem, well, it's not entirely impossible, is it?"

"You already have two kids, are you interested in being a stepfather?"

"Um... how old are you?"

"22, twins, a boy and a girl."

"Is the child's father gone?" He was actually considering becoming a stepfather.

"Yes, my ex-husband is a general."

"General!!!"

"Any more questions?"

Tang Shi shook his head. He couldn't afford to offend her. It's normal for a beautiful woman who can casually pull out a sack of antiques to have a general as her husband, right?

I wonder how high a rank her husband is, what his military rank is?

"Then it's agreed that way. You just need to prepare your things, put them in the designated warehouse, and then let me know."

"good."

The three exchanged contact information and then left the Tang family.

Su Yujiao went to the fabric wholesale market and bought a lot of canvas, which she then piled up in the warehouse designated by the prince.

"Sister-in-law, you're back?"

The Crown Prince was still in shock from Su Yujiao's recent disappearance.

"Okay, here's your clothes back."

"Huh? It wasn't used?" The crown prince looked disappointed and frustrated.
