Chapter 1196 A Crown

Shi Lei's current knowledge of genetic science is actually enough for him to provide guidance to Ding Yu's group of scientists.

But he didn't do that.

They just brought the information and data, and the next day they sent someone a result that was even more awesome than what they had been studying for more than ten years. This is obviously nonsense. Even Ding Yu has a deep understanding of the Eye of the Night and knows that This is absolutely impossible.

Shi Lei planned to wait until he could use six more sensory cards next time, and use the knowledge gained from the second genetic science card to sort out enough results for Ding Yu and the others to last for several years before handing them over to him.

In this way, there is a buffer of ten days and a half. Although it is still shocking, it is basically justified with the Eye of the Night taking the blame.

Moreover, those scientists are also on vacation. If these results are given to Ding Yu, I am afraid that Ding Yu will be eager to enter the next stage of the experiment.

We can't let those scientists keep running like this all the time, they still need to rest.

After leaving Hong Kong Island and returning to Wudong, Shi Lei lived a life of doing nothing.

There are still ten days left before the settlement day, and Shi Lei still has more than 12 million in hand. It's time for him to think about his problems carefully.

Ten percent of the collection consumption does not necessarily have to be achieved, but it is still a bit difficult for Shi Lei to spend more than ten million in ten days.

Therefore, it is more reliable to focus on collection consumption.

Shi Lei visited all the places where antiques were bought and sold in Wudong, but he really couldn't find anything suitable. Either the value is not high, or it is simply Xibei goods. It is really not easy to find collectibles worth hundreds of millions in the ordinary market.

If not, you still have to ask Yu Banzhi for help. Among the friends around him, except for him who is also an investor in Xianyun Yehe, everyone else is busy and there is really no one who can help him.

Shi Lei drove towards Yu Banzhi's Yu's Agarwood House. When he was almost there, his phone rang.

Taking it out, Shi Lei was a little surprised. It turned out to be Director Zhang of the Xicheng Cultural Bureau.

Shi Lei parked the car on the side of the road, picked up the phone, and said politely: "Hello, Director Zhang, this is Shi Lei."

"Haha, Mr. Shi, I won't disturb you now, will I?"

Shi Lei said hurriedly: "Director Zhang, you're welcome. If you have any questions, just tell me."

In Shi Lei's opinion, he has almost nothing to do with Director Zhang, that is, his parents' house.

After these few days, the old man should have almost finished cleaning up, and it's time to prepare to hand over the house.

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Where are you now? You are a busy man and I shouldn't bother you. But Mr. Zheng said that he still hopes that you can help with this matter."

Shi Lei was slightly startled. Mr. Zheng was the original owner of that house. It was normal for him to find Shi Lei. But listening to Director Zhang's tone, it seemed that this was something that had nothing to do with the house itself.

"I'm in Wudong. I'm pretty busy with all the things I should be busy with. I've just been taking a break recently. Director Zhang...oh, if Mr. Zheng has something to do, you might as well just tell him."

"Mr. Zheng wants to entrust you with something. I hope you can help find a suitable buyer..."

Shi Lei raised his brows and knew intuitively that this must be something of high value, and it was probably related to antiques. Otherwise, there would be no need to say such a formal word as "entrust".

Director Zhang is still saying: "You still have to see this thing in person, and it's hard to tell over the phone. Originally, Mr. Zheng intended to donate this thing to our cultural department, but this thing is relatively sensitive. Type, private collection is okay, but if it is handed over to the state, it will easily arouse the opinions of the country where it originally belongs..."

Shi Lei thoroughly confirmed that it must be an antique or something like that, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious.

So he said: "Director Zhang, I probably understand. It's really hard to talk about this kind of thing on the phone. Let's go to Xicheng."

Director Zhang hurriedly said: "That's not necessary. You don't have to come to Xicheng. Mr. Zheng and I are in Wudong now. Oh, you probably don't know yet, right? Mr. Zheng has handed over the house to your parents this morning. , they are already cleaning up, and I specially sent two staff from the Cultural Affairs Bureau to assist them to avoid unnecessary damage during the cleaning process.”

"Oh, have you handed over your apartment today? My parents haven't told me yet. They are probably too busy. Since you are in Wudong, it will be easier. I have nothing to do now. Where are you? Don’t you want me to come over?”

"Then there's Mr. Lao Shi. I just came out of the museum and visited the mute girl, and I'm about to go back to the hotel. We're staying at the Wudong Hotel."

"It's not far from here. It takes about twenty minutes."

"Okay, let's meet in the hotel lobby."

Shi Lei hung up the phone, turned around and headed straight to Wudong Hotel.

After arriving, he called Director Zhang, who said he was about to get off the car. After the two met, they went straight to the elevator.

After Mr. Zheng opened the door for them, he looked a little excited when he saw Shi Lei.

"Mr. Shi, we meet again."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Zheng."

After entering the door and sitting down, Shi Lei said directly: "Mr. Zheng, Director Zhang told me the general situation, but what is the specific situation?"

Mr. Zheng stood up, walked to the hotel safe, pressed the password, and took out a small box of one foot square from it.

He placed the box on the coffee table in front of Shi Lei, opened it gently, and then took out a piece of velvet cloth from it, and then carefully laid out the things inside.

Shi Lei looked closely and found that it was a crown, extremely gorgeous, inlaid with various gems.

"Mr. Shi, since you are the adopted son of Teacher Chen Yannu, you must be familiar with antiques, right?"

Shi Lei did not use the appraisal card, but only saw from the surface that the crown was valuable, but he did not know the origin of the crown.

He smiled and said: "This crown, even if it is not an antique, is already valuable in itself."

Mr. Zheng looked at Director Zhang, and Director Zhang said: "This crown comes from France. It is the crown of Louis Philippe."

Shi Lei was shocked after hearing this. Louis Philippe can be said to be the last emperor in French history.

That was after the Napoleonic Revolution, when the Bourbon dynasty was briefly restored. It only existed for more than 30 years and experienced three generations of emperors.

Louis Philippe overthrew his cousin Charles Philippe with the help of the bourgeoisie and obtained the throne. Since he was originally the Duke of Orleans and he expressed his intention to completely break with the Bourbon dynasty and even changed the national flag, the decade he was emperor was also called the Orleans Dynasty.

His fate was almost the same as his cousin, except that he was overthrown by a different person.

Seeing that the February Revolution was unstoppable, Louis Philippe fled to England in a hurry.

"When Louis Philippe fled to England, he also took his crown with him. He fantasized that he would have a chance to make a comeback, so the crown remained in England. In modern times, England returned the crown to the French. However, it was stolen during transportation, and the whereabouts of the crown has been unknown. Two years ago, I saw this crown by chance. In fact, I know that this kind of antique with great symbolic significance is not suitable for collection, but I bought it anyway."
