Chapter 232 You must build a golden body for yourself!

"I was in Hong Kong Island and found a TV program from the British BBC called "Antiques Roadshow"

"It's actually a program where a few people go on TV and introduce the history of some antiques that are nominated by the public."

"The show was broadcast in the UK and the effect was very good. It is said that many people brought old items from their homes to participate in the exhibition."

"Mr. Zhang, you should know what this means?"

Li Changhe spoke softly to Zhang Shiqi.

In fact, BBC's "Antiques Touring Show" is the world's first treasure appraisal program.

It is similar to the later "Swordsmanship on Mount Hua", "Gate of Huayu" and "Collection of the World".

The difference is that "Antiques Tour Show" does not deliberately focus on the prices of antiques, but instead puts the highlight of the show on the historical significance and explanation of antiques.

Li Changhe said this, not because he really saw it in Hong Kong, but because in his previous life's book, he wrote that his protagonist had performed a similar operation.

So he looked up the information and knew about this.

Although Zhang Shiqi didn't have a TV at home, it didn't mean he didn't know about it.

"You mean, those who have antiques from our country at home will take the initiative to participate in such TV shows and bring their antiques?"

"That's right. Whether it was the two Opium Wars or our century of war, a large number of our cultural relics were lost in Europe and America."

"But those people back then are dead, and few of their descendants understand these values."

"From another perspective, even if we offer a suitable price, our country's cultural relics are actually not worth much right now."

"As you said, there are not many buyers for our country's cultural relics in the entire international market."

“Even if overseas art institutions buy it, they won’t buy it in large quantities and hoard it.”

"This is actually a good time for us to take action. I think no one knows the value of those antiques better than ourselves."

"It's also a good opportunity to set up the so-called auction house!"

Li Changhe said to Zhang Shiqi seriously.

Although Li Changhe has not conducted a detailed study, he feels that before China's economy developed, Chinese cultural relics were actually not very valuable.

What's more, the entire country is currently maintaining a state of export, and a large number of ordinary cultural relics are sold in the Friendship Store.

This means that the country itself is dumping cultural relics abroad, which in turn suppresses the market price of Chinese cultural relics.

In this way, Li Changhe believes that there is a possibility of finding bargains in the entire overseas market.

Find the real priceless treasures from those junk.

"My boy, your vision is really extraordinary. You are sure that we will have a prosperous era in the future. You are betting big in advance!"

Zhang Shiqi said to Li Changhe in surprise at this moment.

This matter sounds simple, but there is one thing, that is, it requires money, a lot of money.

Even if foreigners don't understand the value, you can't buy it for thirty or fifty yuan. So if you calculate it this way, Li Changhe has to invest a lot of money.

Of course, in this case, it can be predicted that once the national economy improves, Li Changhe's returns will be extremely astonishing.

As someone who has been deeply involved in this industry, Zhang Shiqi naturally knows how great the appreciation potential of good things is.

He said those things before just to remind Li Changhe not to keep everything blindly. He should sell those that should be sold and just keep the treasures.

But unexpectedly, Li Changhe seemed to be playing something even bigger.

But it must be said that Zhang Shiqi felt that his way of playing was very touching.

The four indispensable words in the antique business are fraud and deception.

But Zhang Shiqi generally disdained such behavior.

But to be honest, if it comes to cheating foreigners, he is really interested.

Li Changhe smiled when he heard what Lao Zhang said.

For Zhang Shiqi, perhaps he was certain that he was taking a gamble.

But for Li Changhe, a life of cheating does not require any stakes.

"Lao Zhang, just tell me if you are interested in this matter. If you are interested, please pick a few reliable people and I will go and talk to the higher-ups!"

"You are just a few of us who are interested in cultural relics. Let's go to Hong Kong Island and change our identities. Then, we can use the relationship between Hong Kong Island and Britain to start buying cultural relics in Europe!"

"First, I'll go around Europe, then go to the United States. I'll spend a few years there. I don't believe I can't get back those overseas treasures."

Li Changhe said seriously.

After hearing this, Zhang Shiqi sat there and began to think.

"This doesn't sound very reliable, but it is somewhat reliable."

"I think it's interesting, but I'm afraid I can't do it on my own."

"Wait for me to go back and talk to a few old friends to see if they are interested in doing it."

"But if we agree, are you sure you can get us out?"

Zhang Shiqi asked suspiciously at this time.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "What's so uncertain about this?"

"I'll buy them with my own money. The ones with historical significance will be donated to the country, and the other good things will be kept by us. The above are just the documents for you guys to leave the country. It's not like you'll leave and never come back."

"I don't think this is difficult. As long as your people agree, I can go talk to Director Liao."

Li Changhe said with a smile. He really intended to do this, on the one hand to see if he could retrieve some lost treasures from overseas.

On the other hand, he also has another purpose, which is to gain the favor of higher-ups.

There has always been a tradition of killing the richest people in China. Although Li Changhe is constantly weaving his own network of relationships, he cannot rely solely on the network of relationships.

The key is to improve people's favorability, just like Mr. Fok from Hong Kong Island who worked hard to help the country in sports after the reform and opening up.

Li Changhe can also learn from Mr. Huo in this regard.

He is not very good at sports, but he can deal with cultural relics, which is also a good way to improve his favorability.

He is serious about making donations. Anyway, all his money is earned from the world trends created by countries like the United States and Japan. It is no big deal to give a little bit of it as a token of appreciation these days.

There's no need to be secretive about this matter. Just talk to Mr. Liao openly.

Hand over the national treasures, and keep the other valuable ones for reselling, so you won’t lose money in the future. I believe that the higher-ups will not object at this time.

After all, he knew very well that standing behind Mr. Liao was the real Buddha currently in the country.

"Even if we agree to this, there is one more thing: do you have money?"

"When we go abroad, we will be using foreign money. With the way you play, I don't think it will cost more than a million or eighty thousand."

Zhang Shiqi then asked Li Changhe seriously.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the money."

China's cultural relics are not valuable nowadays, so it is enough to prepare a few million US dollars in advance.

After all, the current US dollar is still the US dollar, and its purchasing power value is still very high.

"Okay, let me find some old friends and study this matter first."

Zhang Shiqi agreed.

Apart from anything else, it’s good to be able to go out and see the world. At least his two sons are still in Hong Kong Island.

After saying goodbye to Lao Zhang, Li Changhe went out again and helped his sister and brother-in-law move their things to the staff quarters.

Li Changhe actually hadn't originally thought of setting up the auction house so early. After all, he felt that his status and position were not high enough at that time, and he didn't have that much energy.

But now that Zhang Shiqi brought it up, Li Changhe thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of the situation.

Anyway, for him, it was just a matter of raking grass and hunting rabbits, a simple thing.

There are ready-made TV programs. Just buy the copyright and then form a team to shoot such programs in various parts of Europe.

Let Lao Zhang and others be treasure appraisers. Don’t accept the ordinary ones, but keep the good ones. It can also be considered an investment.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about this matter, he just needs to pay for it.

Well, I can also take this opportunity to talk to Mr. Liao about the security company and see if I can get some high-level retired professional security personnel.

We can hire some white people as low-level security personnel, but the core management must be our own people.

Li Changhe had always been very clear about his path in this world: to make big money through economics and to build a golden figure through entertainment!

Now, as for the golden body, he felt that he could also add the option of cultural relics. By then, he would be able to cultivate both inside and outside and be safe.

There's nothing he can do about it. It's not that he's being careful, but that he's seen too many melons in his previous life.

Things like Prince Milk and airlines, some people are too greedy.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.

It is true that he is patriotic, but he will not be a lamb to be slaughtered.

The network you have to build is one thing, and the favor you have gained from senior management over the years is another.

All in all, it is definitely a good idea to brush up your golden body in advance.

After having dinner at home in the evening, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin strolled back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

Now the two of them have gradually developed a habit of going back to the family compound for dinner in the evening, and then returning to the Overseas Chinese Apartment after dinner.

Anyway, it’s not too far and the electric car will get there in a short while.

It is more comfortable to sleep in an air-conditioned room at night.

Most importantly, you don’t have to worry about sweating while exercising with air conditioning, and some things are more lasting and more fun.

Time passed quietly, and Li Changhe's life became regular again.

From time to time, telegrams would come from Hong Kong Island, containing not only the latest price of silver futures, but also the situation of the luggage factories.

The price of silver has been rising at a steady pace, just as Li Changhe remembered.

So far, many people only think that silver futures contracts are rising, but have not discovered that silver spot has also been swept up by the Hunt brothers.

Therefore, the market panic has not yet arisen. For many merchants, even if the contract expires, they only need to deliver silver.

It is estimated that only after they discover that there is no silver left in the world will they fall into complete panic and frantically buy new contracts for hedging.

So Li Changhe was not in a hurry and just instructed the team to continue holding on.

The machines for the luggage factory have already been shipped to Hong Kong Island and are expected to go into production next month. Li Changhe is not in a hurry about this as they are all small businesses after all.

And on days like these, the summer vacation quietly ended.

A new semester has begun, and Li Changhe has returned to his loyal Peking University again!
(There will probably be another chapter in the early morning, so I’ll write tomorrow’s chapter in advance! Also, please stop criticizing the main plot, it’s very clear, the economy makes a lot of money, and the entertainment industry makes you a wealthy person, that’s the main plot!)
　Thanks to Aaron Samalazar, Angelov Foboler and the great man Zhao Yun for their rewards. I bow my head in gratitude!
