Chapter 230 Jewish Treasure
Wu Tianyuan brought a group of people to a small town in the west of Germany. Rommel's ring said that the treasure was nearby, so they stayed first and went out to dig the treasure at night.

"Another ten tons of gold?"

Wu Tianyuan lamented his foresight and hired Iron Blood in advance, otherwise he and Wang Jun would not be able to move the gold alone.

"Boss, there are three boxes of jewelry here!"

Wang Hong opened all the boxes and found that besides the gold nuggets, there were also a lot of jewelry, and she became excited.

"The style of these jewelry should belong to the Jewish nation, right?"

Wang Jun picked up an earring and asked curiously, Wu Tianyuan nodded and explained: "Yes, it is a typical decoration of the Jewish nation, look at this exquisite fancy earring, and this ring inlaid with rubies, especially these gold and silver coins , all of which belonged to the reigning currency of the ancient Roman Emperor Trajan.”

When Wu Tianyuan saw a sculpture, his eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good thing. The Roman goddess of victory, that is, the goddess Victoria, is exactly the same as the one unearthed in Pompeii!"

On June 2012, 6, an Israeli archaeological team unearthed a treasure including a large number of precious jewelry and gold and silver coins near the city of Buffalo in western Israel. It was an emergency property left behind by the Jews when they fled their homes in the face of danger.These items provide a glimpse into the material life of the Jewish people nearly 4 years ago.This important discovery was rated as one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in the world in 2000 by the American magazine "Archaeology".

According to Emil, an archaeologist responsible for the excavation of the Israel Antiquities Authority, the treasures obviously belonged to wealthy families.Because generally speaking, people in the Roman area at that time only used stones to make earrings and attached gold leaf, and rarely used pure gold.

These cultural relics belong to the Kochba uprising period from 132 AD to 135 AD. It is speculated that when the Jews discovered that the Roman army was killing them, they quickly hid all valuables in one place for later when they returned home.But they failed to return to retrieve the treasure they buried, and the treasure was not discovered by archaeologists until nearly 2000 years later.

The Kochba Rebellion was the most violent Jewish resistance against Roman rule and lasted for three years.Although the uprising was a short-lived success, the Romans later managed to wipe out all resistance, and it is recorded that 58 Jews were killed.This uprising can be called a turning point in Jewish history.

"This batch of treasures is another major discovery, which means a lot to the Jewish people!"

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said, "Let the polar bears deal with the gold, and the rest of the treasures are just for Bonhams to put up for auction, which can be regarded as the first shot of our settlement."

They first transported the treasure to a safe place, and waited for the polar bears to take it away the next day. Wu Tianyuan took the Jewish treasure directly to London and stayed at Jenny's house first.

"My dear Wu, you are finally here!"

Jenny came out to greet her warmly, and was very respectful to her insider boss.Wu Tianyuan looked at Jenny, who had changed a lot. She had been tempered in the past few months, and she became more and more temperamental.The already beautiful little girl is more graceful and luxurious, and with the original affinity, she has a special flavor.

"So my Miss Jenny worked so hard? She also learned court etiquette, tea ceremony, and equestrian skills?"

Jenny was a little embarrassed and said: "This is popular among the upper class in the UK. I was born as a commoner, and my starting point is low. I can only work harder to adapt to my new life and identity. But it is still successful, and I have many friends."

"Okay, I finally saw the right person!"

Wu Tianyuan encouraged: "This is 300 million pounds, as your communication expenses. You already know my next plan, and I need your cooperation."

"The higher your status, the bigger your circle, the more beneficial it is to the whole plan! If you have nothing to do, go to more gatherings of nobles, don't be afraid to spend money, and make more connections. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss at the beginning, and it will grow in the future."

Wu Tianyuan guided Jenny's next plan step by step, and specially wrote a few names for her to pay attention to, so they will definitely be used in the future.

Jenny didn't refuse. She liked her current life more and more. It was a rare opportunity to enter the aristocratic circle. All this was brought to her by the man in front of her. Working hard would only bring more benefits.

"How about Ross?"

Wu Tianyuan leaned on the sofa, watched the head of Bonhams Rose appraise these Jewish treasures with excitement, and said with a smile: "Is it more than enough to organize a special event?"

"The boss really lives up to his reputation! The first shot is a big deal, I admire it!"

Ross sat down with a smile, helped Wu Tianyuan pour a glass of red wine, and said with a smile: "I was shocked when I heard that Tajir and Philip sold the shares of the auction house!"

"Although Bonhams is not as good as Jiashide and Sotheby's in the past few years, as the world's third largest, its profits are also very good. Philip said that the local tycoon Tagil actually sold his shares? I'm too curious about who is behind this?"

Ross said with a slight compliment: "It turns out that you are the famous curator Wu! Boss of Zhongzheng, do you know how excited I am after confirming the news?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Ross's excited face with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just that the entire Chinese market has been added all of a sudden? Is there a chance to challenge the old rival Jiashide?"

"exactly!"

Ross stood up and said with a look of displeasure: "I admit that Jiashide's strategy was correct in the past few years. It was the first to be optimistic about the Chinese market and build a good relationship with the government in advance. Now it has been rewarded dozens of times. However, we at Bonhams have not found The right opportunity has just established a firm foothold in Hong Kong, and we can only compete for market share through small categories.”

He stared at Wu Tianyuan with burning eyes, and said excitedly: "Now that you are the largest shareholder, it is even more powerful! No, it should be said that it is the biggest opportunity for Bonhams in the past 200 years!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded, this Rose is very clever, and he is very comfortable with a few words.He has done a good job in the past few years, and his ability to develop and expand his business under the mouths of Jiashide and Sotheby's also proves his profound artistic skills.

"This batch of Jewish treasures is my first shot at Bonhams, and it's a testament to my reputation!"

Wu Tianyuan said domineeringly: "In the future, this kind of thing will be indispensable. You just need to work overtime if you are not afraid."

Ross looked at Wu Tianyuan, who was in his 20s, and sighed to himself that he was really domineering. It is better to meet him than to be famous. He really is a hot big shot in the circle!
"Boss, this time I suggest a private auction for this batch of Jewish treasures. The effect may be better."

Wu Tianyuan was taken aback, and asked curiously: "You mean to hold the highest level VIP session?"

"Not bad!" Ross said confidently, "For other treasures, the bigger the auction, the better, but for the Jewish treasures, the lower the profile, the real big sellers are more satisfied, and they are really super big buyers!"

Ross took out a document, only a few pieces of paper, but Wu Tianyuan became more and more frightened as he looked at it, he straightened his body involuntarily, and asked solemnly, "The Hohenzollern family in Germany?"
