Chapter 1605: Earnings: 700 Million!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhuang Xiaoqiao blushed. “Isn’t he the first Chinese superstar to enter Hollywood?”
Ye Feng rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking that she probably only knew this.
“Bruce Lee is not only an actor, but also a world-famous martial artist, a pioneer of the modern martial arts revolution. Karate and other martial arts were popular overseas in the early years, and the rules of the competition were also used. Bruce Lee was the first to advocate athletes to wear protective gear and engage in full-contact confrontation.”
“Now, many of the international large-scale unlimited fights are officially respected by Bruce Lee as the founder. Although this is to attract attention to the competition and there is a certain amount of hype, it also reflects Bruce Lee’s influence in the world.”
“However, after Bruce Lee’s death, many people could not objectively look at the martial arts treasures left behind by this martial arts grandmaster. They either exaggerated or belittled him. Relatively speaking, Bruce Lee is more sought after abroad.”
Ye Feng patiently explained to Zhuang Xiaoqiao.
“Is he that powerful?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao asked curiously.
“Even the Japanese called him the ‘Warrior Sage.’ He was once listed as one of the seven martial artists in the world who had made outstanding contributions to the development of martial arts. In the years after his death, the Americans also awarded him many awards posthumously to commemorate the legend.”
“You know what kind of people are in Japan and the United States. They bully the weak and fear the strong. They respect the strong. If Mr. Bruce Lee didn’t have great strength, do you think he can be respected by tens of thousands of people here?”
Ye Feng pursed his lips.
“Then what do you plan to do with these notebooks? Should we auction them in the US or bring them back to the country for auction?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao asked.
Ye Feng thought for a while. “I should bring them back to the country and auction it!”
Although Bruce Lee was Chinese-American, he didn’t leave a deep impression on the Chinese. Many people born in the 2000s might not know this person. His main influence was still abroad.
The Jeet Kune Do created by Master Bruce Lee was mainly spread in the United States.
The sixth notebook he left behind could fill the gap in the current Jeet Kune Do training system. If it was auctioned in the United States, it would attract a large number of Bruce Lee fans and Jeet Kune Do practitioners. This was undoubtedly the best choice.
In fact, Ye Feng even hoped to auction it in Japan, because the Japanese emphasized the samurai spirit, more people practiced martial arts, and they were more passionate about these martial arts manuals.
In Japan, many people went to work during the day. After work, they might change their clothes and train in a professional martial arts dojo. Two years ago, there was a wine delivery man from Japan who defeated a domestic boxing champion in the professional boxing ring of the WBO, creating a big upset in the professional boxing competition back then.
However, due to yesterday’s experience, Ye Feng decided to return to his country to auction these items.
Ye Feng was a little traumatized by the vicious robbers yesterday, not because he was afraid of encountering them again, but because it would be very troublesome if he was targeted by the local underworld forces. Plus, he had to consider Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s safety.
In China, Bruce Lee’s martial arts manuscript might not cause too much of a sensation, but he could also release the news in advance to entice foreign people to participate in the auction.
Chen Qiushan was the person in charge of Sotheby’s Auction Company’s branch in South Guangdong, so he definitely had the ability to do so. He could just ask him for help when the time came.
After keeping Bruce Lee’s manuscript, Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaojiao locked the door and left.
He would not clean up the trash in the room. When the owner remembered, he could clean it up himself!
The location of the hidden treasure that was detected yesterday was not only here. There was another place, which was in a warehouse area.
Ye Feng sat in the taxi, calculating the gains from this trip to America. Three pieces of Picasso manuscripts worth hundreds of millions of dollars, a golden Statue of Liberty worth seventy million dollars. There were also over a hundred pieces of porcelain from the five famous kilns. The Ru porcelain alone was worth 300 million yuan, including the porcelain from the other four famous kilns, the total value should be around 600 million yuan.
Adding in Bruce Lee’s manuscript, it was conservatively estimated to be worth 100 million yuan.
Up until now, he had already obtained nearly 700 million yuan worth of treasures on this trip to America!
Awesome! It felt so good!
The Americans had plundered so many treasures from China back then. His gains this time were nothing compared to what the Americans had taken away back then. It was not even enough to collect the interest!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. Since he was already here, he would collect some interest for his ancestors!
When they reached the warehouse area, Ye Feng used the navigation function again to confirm the exact location of the treasure.
The final result shocked Ye Feng, five storage units in front of him had treasures.
As these storage units were not auctioned, Ye Feng immediately found the storage manager and contacted the rental company through him.
It was reported that these five warehouses were rented by the same person many years ago.
However, a few years ago, the renter suddenly disappeared. To vacate the units, the rental company had wanted to auction them off in one go. However, there were too many storage units here. The professional warehouse-betting people who gambled on storage units were poor and could not bid for all of them.
After communicating with the other party, Ye Feng negotiated the price.
There were a total of five storage units in this row, and each unit was worth 20000 dollars. In the end, he bought all of them at the price of 100000 dollars.
After both parties signed the contract, the warehouse manager opened the warehouse that had been sealed for a long time. There were wooden boxes filled with dust in the warehouse.
After entering a storage unit, Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaoqiao realized that all the storage units in this row had been connected on the inside.
In the warehouse, there were nothing but wooden boxes.
“Wow, so many boxes. What’s in them?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao rubbed her hands together, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Ye Feng was too amazing. As long as she followed Ye Feng, she would not have to worry about not being able to find any treasures.
Therefore, even if these boxes had not been opened, Zhuang Xiaoqiao felt that there must be a lot of treasures inside.
These wooden boxes were all locked, but it was not difficult for Ye Feng to break the locks. However, the warehouse manager was still beside him, so Ye Feng thought that he should not use his hands to break the locks, otherwise, he would scare this friend to death!
In the end, Ye Feng borrowed a crowbar from the warehouse manager and opened the wooden box, although this strength surprised the warehouse manager, it was not to the extent of shocking him.
However, the warehouse manager was still shocked because the wooden box was filled with white silver ingots.
“Is it that simple and crude?” Ye Feng’s face twitched. To maintain the sense of anticipation and mystery that he wanted, he did not probe the items in the wooden box in detail.
He had thought that there would be some antiques and cultural relics in the wooden box, but he did not expect them to be silver ingots.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao could not help but gulp. “Are the rest of the boxes filled with silver too?”
