Zhuo Yang kept covering the imperial seal with both hands, fearing that it would fly, until Kaladze handed him the identification card.
"Zhuoyang, you take this." Kaladze said: "The identification card and the key are combined together to enter the bank, enter this room, and open the safe. If you take this, I can no longer open it unilaterally.
.”
Zhuo Yang didn't show any pretense and reached out his hand to take it.
Zhuoyang knew very well in his heart that even if the jade seal belonged to China, even if Karadze opened his mouth for 100 million, and even if he had 'deliberately' made good friends with him six years ago. But today Karadze could decide to sell the jade seal to himself and to China.
Very generous.
Don't be so naive as to think that there is really no other way for Kaladze besides selling it to Zhuo Yang. At least auctioning it on the dark web is one way.
The Internet is a huge network, and what we usually use is only the surface layer of this network. The highlight of the Internet is the content of web pages that use encryption technology and cannot be searched by search engines.
The surface layer of the Internet that ordinary people use daily only accounts for 1/500 of the entire Internet. The rest is the dark web.
All illegal transactions in the world can be found on the dark web. As long as you are willing to pay, you can trade everything from living people to missiles, from killers to mercenaries.
Every day, a large number of items of unknown origin are auctioned on the dark web, and of course jade seals can also be used.
However, if Kaladze really wants to cash out through the dark web, it is likely that it will not sell for 100 million, because the value of the jade seal will only be maximized with the Chinese. Although the final destination will most likely be China, and the final transaction price will be much higher.
More than 100 million, and Kaladze will only get a small head of the first line.
But it is a road after all.
Even if it is a national jade seal, Zhuo Yang will not kidnap him morally. Kaladze needs money. This reason is as great as heaven. It is not that he climbed into the window of the Forbidden City and stole the jade seal.
It is only natural that the jade seal is in Kaladze's hands, and he uses it to exchange for the money he needs. Although it is not yet known how the jade seal fell into the hands of the Kaladze family, it is a fact that he now owns the jade seal.
.
"As far as I know, it has been in our family for four generations, at least four generations." Kaladze said: "And to tell you the truth, it is very likely that one of my ancestors snatched it from someone else."
"I said that I am of Tatar descent, and the person who was robbed should also be a Tatar."
"But how this thing got into the hands of that unlucky Tatar, I don't know. After all, I didn't know what it was until I."
"My grandfather, they always thought it was just an ordinary piece of jade jewelry. They knew it was worth some money, but they never thought it was very valuable."
"Haha, actually, I'm very lucky that this thing can be preserved in my house."
.
About nine hundred years ago, the whereabouts of the national jade seal were unknown, and there were two most widely circulated versions.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, after the defeat of the Yashan Army, Prime Minister Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the young emperor Zhao Bing on his back. Lu Xiufu tied the jade seal passed down to his body and died with the country, and the jade seal sank into the sea.
Another theory is that after Genghis Khan died, the imperial seal was buried in his tomb, but no one knew where his tomb was.
There is another interpretation. According to the records in "Wu Family Stone Chronicles", the imperial seal is the prototype of Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
What is the truth? How did the Imperial Seal disappear?
.
In the second year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchen soldiers marched in two groups and captured Bianliang in Tokyo. They kidnapped Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, as well as three thousand Zhao family members, concubines, nobles, courtiers, and one hundred thousand people.
Bianliang City and the Imperial Palace of the Song Dynasty were looted, and countless rare treasures, including the national jade seal, were among them. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.
The Wanyan clan of the Jin Kingdom did not care about the orthodox symbols of the Central Plains dynasty. Instead, they believed that the jade seal was a thing of national subjugation, so they kept the jade seal in the palace as a common trophy.
One hundred years later, Mongolia destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and the imperial seal fell into the hands of the Yuan Dynasty. However, by this time, Genghis Khan had died in Xixia, and the people who destroyed the Jin Dynasty were his sons Ogedai and Tuo Lei.
Like the Jurchens, the Boerzhijin clan of the Dayuan Dynasty did not attach much importance to the Zhengshuo meaning of the jade seal. They had their own belief in the Immortality Heaven.
After Ogedei's death, Tolei's eldest son Meng Ge succeeded to the throne. Ogedai's son Guiyu traveled to Central Asia and went to the place where he had followed Batu in his western expedition, where his grandfather Temujin lived.
Enfeoffed the Ogedai Khanate, one of the four great khanates.
Also going with Guiyou was Chuan Guo Yuxi.
However, the Ogedai Khanate was the shortest-lived among the four great khanates, and they did not persist until Timur came to destroy them, so the jade seal passed down to the country was lost to the Kipchak Khanate.
The Kipchak Khanate, also known as the Golden Horde, included the European part of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and the South Caucasus.
Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in the east, and Tamerlane appeared in the west. Two great heroes of similar age worked together to turn the arrogant Mongolian Yuan Dynasty into a scum less than a hundred years after its founding.
From then on, the members of the Golden Family of the Four Great Khanates had no choice but to flee for their lives. The princes of the Golden Horde fled to the territory of the Cossacks, and after a hundred years of fighting, they became one family.
The Imperial Seal is in this family, but no one knows what it is.
In the next three hundred years, the imperial seal was treated as gold and silver jewelry and changed hands several times, and was snatched away by uneducated and reckless men until it was snatched by Kaladze's Grandpa Xuan.
Two hundred years later, the imperial seal appeared in front of Zhuo Yang.
.
When this comes to this world, the jade seal will definitely become the number one cultural relic of Great China. It represents the central government and the legal system of China.
Even though there is no dynasty, no emperor, and China has moved towards a republic, the jade seal passed down to the country still has a strong political symbolic significance. The jade seal embodies the most glorious period of Chinese civilization, and carries the blood and tears of the Chinese people to resist foreign massacres.
.
Compared with the significance of the imperial seal, 100 million euros is insignificant.
But Zhuo Yang doesn’t have 100 million.
Maybe he will have it in a few years. When 'gzf Chemical Industry' is fully developed, 100 million is just a small goal for Zhuo Yang, but he doesn't have it now.
Zhuo Yang has 10 million in cash that he can immediately use. If he thinks of some way to get 20 million, then he can sell houses, land and stocks, and he will have 40 million. There is still a long way to go.
However, Karadze's analysis was correct. Zhuo Yang didn't have it, but Zhuo Yang would definitely have a way. Although one hundred million is a huge amount, it is not unimaginable to Zhuo Yang now.
At the very least, if you borrow 100 million from Li Xiaoqing and pay it back later, there won't be any problem.
Zhuoyang and Karadze resealed the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and put it back in the safe. They collected the identification card and key respectively. To open it next time, both parties must be present at the same time.
Kaladze chose to trust Zhuo Yang, and Zhuo Yang would naturally make his trust come true.
