Galactic Garbage Station - Chapter 882

The rocket-like rise in the price of the statue has shocked netizens.

“Holy shit, it went up to fifty million yuan, these people are going crazy.”

“Damn, where is that bastard who said that Brother Jing is pretending and hyping up the price and he wouldn’t be able to sell it for 5 million? I dare you to say that again.”

“Hey, how could the treasure Brother Jing brought out is only worth five million yuan? Isn’t that outrageous?”

“You don’t understand my feelings. My wife and I went to the Fong Lam Court in the morning and saw the sculpture. At that time, I thought it was beautiful and artistic, but after all, it was placed in the park. Who would have thought that it would be this precious on top of being that beautiful? Who would have thought that it would be worth more than 50 Million Yuan? At that time, my wife was amazed and thought it was very precious and I gave her some popular science education, saying that the sculptures in the park are generally worth no more than 10,000 yuan. Now, it’s my wife’s turn to make fun of me and my washed-up knowledge.”

“At least you’ll have the pleasure of seeing it. I’ll go after some time when this craze died down a little. It’s too crowded and I don’t think I would be able to squeeze in.”

“By the way, which master made such an awesome sculpture?”

“I heard that this master’s realm is unprecedented, and many Carving Grandmasters are shocked by it.”

“Su Jing once came up with an extremely realistic statue, and it is said that it sold for a sky-high price. Could the sculptor be the same?”

“It shouldn’t be, the method is obviously different. In comparison, I think the sculpture in the Fong Lam Court is more beautiful, she is simply like a goddess.”

“Foreigners have bid 50 million yuan. Su Jing will probably sell it and I don’t think he would be able to reject such a price.”

The outside world was shocked, but what they didn’t expect was that foreigners who offered 50 Million Yuan in the management center of the small cultural park were met with a closed door. 

Alan and Anna did not have the contact information of Su Jing, so they could only go to the management center to find Director Wang, and they couldn’t help but feel anxious when they saw Director Wang’s ignorant attitude. 

Alan immediately spoke with an anxious expression on his face: “We already bid Fifty Million Yuan, why haven’t you contacted Mr. Su and asked him about the price?”

“50 million is too little, I’m afraid he won’t be interested in it.” Director Wang sat on the chair with one leg on top of the other and said arrogantly. When he said this, he wanted to cry a little bit. 

It felt so cool to pretend to be so rich! It was the first time he had felt such a feeling! Of course, it was also because Su Jing gave the lowest price of 200 million that he had such confidence. Otherwise, fifty million yuan would have been enough to scare him up from his chair.

“Come on, 50 million yuan isn’t enough?” Alan was a little angry when he heard Director Wang’s words.

“Venus de Milo and David of Michelangelo, how much are they worth? Can you buy them for 50 million yuan? Don’t think that I would forget how you guys wanted to offer 20,000 yuan to buy the sculpture and I would be fooled by you then but I won’t repeat the same mistake now.” Director Wang spoke disdainfully.

“Our apologies, it was our fault at the beginning, but the price of 50 million yuan is definitely too high. Do you think other people’s prices are as high as ours? Venus de Milo and David of Michelangelo and other such sculptures are so precious not only because of their artistic value but also because of their historical value. The proportion of the latter is much larger. And the sculpture in your Fong Lam Court has no historical record and no cultural value. It should be just a modern artwork. Its value is naturally incomparable to Venus de Milo and David of Michelangelo.” Alan said eloquently.

To be honest, Director Wang was a bit swayed. Although he didn’t know much about it, he did understand that many works of art have been appreciated greatly because of their historical value. 

Suppose that there are two statues and their appearance is exactly the same, one is an antique, the other is a modern imitation, the former may be worth tens of millions, and the latter may be worth a thousand dollars, this is the gap between having a historical value. 

Su Jing’s sculpture came from an unknown origin and is probably far inferior to Venus de Milo and David of Michelangelo.

However, these things have nothing to do with Director Wang, Su Jing has given the reserve price of at least 200 million yuan and these people have only offered 50 Million Yuan so he doesn’t need to pay any attention to it. 

Director Wang finally spoke after thing about it: “Anyway, Mr. Su said that 50 Million Yuan is too little so there’s no need to talk about it any further.”

“Is Mr. Su going crazy about money? 50 Million Yuan is already an exorbitant price for this kind of sculpture with no historical value. If it was more expensive and with even a little historical value, would he have put it in a park, exposed to the wind and the sun, and at the risk of being stolen and destroyed?” Alan and Anna didn’t give up and wanted to convince Director Wang, but Director Wang was unmoved. 

Alan and Anna had no choice but to call the US side again, but because the price was already high, they were not willing to increase the price easily. 

They are going to send a group of people over, and they will talk about it after a comprehensive inspection, otherwise, they will regret it if they lose money.

The news that the 50 Million Yuan price was rejected finally spread on the internet.

The netizens became even more restless when this news was posted on the Internet.

“Damn it, Su Jing was still not satisfied even with a price of 50 Million Yuan?”

“I heard that Su Jing is not only dissatisfied but he didn’t even care about it. It looks like 50 Million Yuan cannot enter his eyes at all.”

“Is he showing his richness and willfulness, or does he think that the statue is worth more than Fifty Million Yuan?”

“Does anyone here know the price of Venus de Milo and David of Michelangelo?”

“They are priceless treasures. No one will sell it for any amount of money. However, they not only have artistic value but also historical value. They represent an ancient civilization. The statue in the Fong Lam Court cannot be compared to them.”

“In my opinion, Fifty Million is a lot. Su Jing is just going crazy about money.”

“Yes, from Su Jing’s words and deeds, we can see that he is greedy for money, otherwise why would he sell all the treasures instead of collecting them? This time Su Jing put the sculpture in the Fong Lam Court to create hype so that he can sell it for a higher price. I admit that it’s his ability that he was able to hype it up so much that he received an offer of 50 Million Yuan so quickly. However, hyping it more would have adverse effects, and he will regret it at that time.”
