Chapter 1570 Multi-Party Talks 8

Maybe I’m anxious because I know there are people waiting, or maybe I know a lot of things and can’t communicate in front of other people. Therefore, both parties stopped there and did not go any further. Moreover, coming here this time is not about inspection and investment, the Holy Grail is the focus.

However, Bao Zixuan's words made Corona change some of his thoughts. Even if the Holy Grail is brought back, it will be placed in the Vatican; at most, a verbal praise will be given to the Knights Hospitaller. It is estimated that apart from these, there will be nothing else. Unlike the Knights Templar and the Teutonic Knights, the Knights Hospitaller have completely separated from the Holy See; at most they are relatives, and the other two are biological sons.

Companies and countries that cooperate with Bao Zixuan all say that this person is very kind. Then there is no need for the Knights Hospitaller to cling to the Vatican's thigh; the most important thing is that even if they cling to others, they may not necessarily buy it; after so many years, everything has been seen through.

Bao Zixuan still didn't know that it was because of the conversation just now that Corona, the grand leader of the Knights Hospitaller, changed his mind; he didn't want to be a bride for the Vatican regarding the Holy Grail.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "I know the purpose of your trip, since it is for the Holy Grail. Then let's first identify whether the Holy Grail is real or fake. I am a businessman, and I can't say much about the identification of cultural relics; especially Christian holy relics. I don’t know, so you still need to confirm it.”

With a gesture, Zhang Zhan brought up the box containing the Holy Grail. Open it carefully and take out the Holy Grail. Wear gloves throughout the entire process, so the sense of ritual is not too bad. And in front of the Vatican representatives, you can't do it too casually.

The moment they saw the Holy Grail, everyone held their breath. The two cardinals immediately came over, prayed devoutly, and began to inspect the Holy Grail.

Regarding the Holy Grail records, the Vatican’s collection of information should not be less than one ton. The two of them are experts in the study of religious relics, so they know the shape of the Holy Grail and other aspects very well.

Before coming here, I asked someone to draw the image according to the records. Although there may be some differences from the real thing, it is basically the same. The two took out many professional tools to measure the Holy Grail.

It lasted about half an hour, with the two nodding to each other. It seems to be some kind of secret code. Of course, it may also be the tacit understanding cultivated by working together for so many years.

One of the cardinals said: "This Holy Grail is no different from what is recorded in the data. If the production time can be determined, it can basically be confirmed to be the real name."

Fortunately, Bao Zixuan was prepared, so he took out some information and said with a smile: "These are the results of C-14 testing by two auction houses, Christie's and Sotheby's, which prove that the specific production time of this artifact was 1960- If you don’t believe the artifacts produced before 2020, you can still undergo a secondary appraisal.”

After hearing this, everyone understood what it meant. The two photography studios are definitely more professional than them in their determination of the timing of cultural relics. In other words, there is no difference between the age of this Holy Grail and the age recorded in the data.

As for the scope of activities in 60 years, it will not affect the overall situation at all.

The two cardinals had made it very clear, and at the same time Bao Zixuan showed the year to firmly prove it. This is enough to show that this Holy Grail is authentic; it is one of the holy objects of Christianity.

Fernando Camplau was in a very excited mood at this moment. As the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, he was competing to see who wanted to find the Holy Grail. After all, of course it was because of them that the True Cross was destroyed; the whereabouts of the Holy Grail are unknown.

As for the True Cross, I probably don’t even think about it. But the Holy Grail must be brought back, as it can somewhat wash away the shame on the Templars.

Fernando Camplau: "Mr. Bao Zixuan, please tell me what we need to pay to take away the Holy Grail."

It stands to reason that Corona is the person in charge of this negotiation, but now being asked this by someone; Bao Zixuan really doesn't know how to answer. Instead, he glanced at Corona, who was standing nearby and looked a little angry.

It doesn't matter what the Holy Grail is. As long as the Vatican is willing to pay, they can take it back. But we need to have a good relationship with Corona. After all, Fucaira's medical system still needs help from the other party.

Opening up a country's health care system is a very dangerous thing. But Bao Zixuan still has his own confidence and will recruit a large number of his own team of doctors; when both parties cooperate with each other, they can also restrict each other.

Colona was unhappy about the sudden opening of Fernando Camplau, Grand Master of the Knights Templar. He is the person in charge of the negotiations, and doing this now seems to be overstepping his authority. In comparison, Bao Zixuan's attitude was very useful. The other party did not answer immediately, but looked at him; the meaning was obvious, that is, it was to show that he, the person in charge, had his words to count.

In fact, at this moment, Corona was like a prey in front of Bao Shaofu. Of course, he had to give him something sweet first. Even if you are fishing, you must first put some bait.

Corona said with a serious expression: "You two, now you can prove whether this Holy Grail is authentic."

This also tells Fernando Camplau to stay calm when encountering problems; don’t get too excited, and let’s figure things out first.

The cardinal who just spoke said directly without any hesitation: "I can confirm that this is the missing Holy Grail."

The Vatican chooses a cardinal, who has any profession. And the person in front of him is a lawyer. Very knowledgeable about the documents and certificates issued by each company. And based on his professional judgment, Bao Zixuan would not joke about such an important matter. The most important thing is that the staff of the two auction houses are present. This is a matter of credibility, and no one dares to be careless. Comprehensive analysis shows that the Holy Grail was indeed made 2,000 years ago.

The time and shape of the vessel are right. Even if this one was not used by Jesus, it was made by craftsmen at that time. And there is only one such one in the world so far; therefore, there is no problem at all in defining it as a genuine Holy Grail.

Now that the appraiser has been determined, the next step can be taken.

Corona: "Mr. Bao, I can confirm now; this is indeed the Christian Holy Grail that has been missing for thousands of years, so you can make any requests you have."

Corona's actions made Fernando Camplau, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, feel very humiliated. But I also know that this person is the person in charge of the negotiations, and if I have any dissatisfaction or opinions, I can only endure it for now. Wait until you go back to settle the accounts. The best choice at this time should be to remain silent.

He was just too excited just now. As the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, he knew what happened 1,000 years ago. But I also understand that something was wrong just now, and I can't say anything more now, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to explain.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "I am a very simple person. I am a businessman myself, so I pay attention to equal exchange. If the artwork prepared by the Vatican is of equal value to the Holy Grail, then of course you can take her away."

"This Holy Grail may be very sacred to you, but to me, I really don't know how to evaluate it."

Bao Zixuan was already very polite in his words. Of course, negotiations must be respectful to each other.

Although he knew that the other party could not agree, he still took out the prepared list of artworks and gave it to Bao Zixuan.

Who knows about these Bao Zixuan, so I handed it over directly to the staff of Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses.

However, Bao Zixuan only took one look at this list and was not very satisfied. The quantity was too small, and he knew that the Holy See would not be able to exchange it for other holy objects. Could it be that the Holy Grail is so unimportant in their hearts? But what if they are all fine products! Therefore, it is better to leave it to professionals. I believe that the two auction houses will not disappoint.

I really wanted to promote this cooperation, but after seeing the list of items provided by the Vatican. The two auction houses really don’t know what to say. This is not a blatant bullying, it shows no sincerity at all. The list provided by the other party only included a dozen products; but from memory, none of them seemed to exceed one million US dollars.

In other words, the Vatican values ​​the Holy Grail at US$10 million. If this is the case, Bao Zixuan might as well put it on display in his own museum.

In the 1980s, a painting by Van Gogh was worth nearly $100 million. Could it be that the Holy Grail is not as good as one-tenth of a painting by a Dutch painter? It sounds ridiculous, but this kind of thing really happens around us.

After Zhang Zhan came back, he explained the expert opinions to Bao Zixuan. Our richest man, Bao, looks very ugly. Does the Vatican not take himself too seriously? So he said directly: "If it is these cultural relics, I cannot accept it. You should come back when you are ready. I don't have time to fight with you."
