Chapter 432

"This is a cultural relic from China, the bronze horse head statue, with a starting price of 5 million US dollars."

The host introduced this collection to everyone on stage.

"6 million."

As soon as the host finished the introduction, someone raised their paddle to bid.

"6.5 million."

Someone continued to bid.

It could be seen that quite a few people were interested in this bronze horse head.

"10 million."

Chen Mo raised his paddle directly.

"!!!"

Xu Xiaofeng turned her head in surprise.

So this was the thing Chen Mo had to buy.

The others in the auction hall didn't expect someone to suddenly bid so high, and everyone was stunned.

"10.5 million."

Someone in the venue continued to bid, obviously also wanting this bronze statue very much.

"12 million."

Chen Mo raised his paddle calmly.

"12.5 million."

Another person was relentless.

Bidding 12.5 million US dollars for a bronze statue was already a very high price, and everyone was watching to see what the highest price this bronze animal head could reach.

"13 million."

Chen Mo was still increasing the price.

"13.5 million."

The other person still didn't give up.

"14.5 million!"

After Chen Mo shouted this, the other party did not continue to bid.

It was clear that Chen Mo would not give up on the competition for this bronze animal, and if they continued to bid, the value of the bronze animal would be far less than the bid price.

No one wanted to do a losing business.

"Congratulations to the gentleman who bid 14.5 million, the bronze horse head statue is now your collection."

The host said on stage.

"The next lot is also a bronze statue from China, from the same series as the horse head statue just now, but this is the bronze rabbit head statue, with a starting price of 5 million."

The host continued to introduce the next collection.

"There's actually another one."

Xu Xiaofeng looked at the stage with some surprise, not expecting that Chinese cultural relics were all collected by museums in other countries.

For China, this is definitely a history of humiliation.

"14 million."

Chen Mo raised his paddle directly, bidding the full value of the bronze animal in one breath.

Everyone in the venue was shocked.

Unless they really wanted this collection, no one had ever seen such bidding.

Chen Mo’s popularity was very high, and many people present were willing to give Chen Mo face and did not continue to bid.

In the end, Chen Mo bought two animal heads for 28.5 million US dollars.

After the auction ended, Chen Mo looked at Xu Xiaofeng.

"Help me contact the Cultural Relics Bureau of China and tell them that I want to donate the animal heads to the national museum unconditionally."

Chen Mo said.

What Chen Mo said shocked Xu Xiaofeng again.

She thought Chen Mo bought the animal heads for his own collection, but she didn't expect Chen Mo to retrieve these animal heads for the country.

……

Cultural Relics Museum.

"What did you say? Chen Mo is willing to donate two animal heads to us unconditionally?"

The curator opened his eyes wide.

When he heard this, the curator was still a little unbelievable.

One must know that for so many years, the country has been trying to find a way to retrieve the 12 animal heads, but only 4 have been retrieved so far.

This donation by Chen Mo is undoubtedly a very important thing for China.

"If this is true, write a thank-you letter to Chen Mo immediately!"

The curator said excitedly!

That afternoon, the news about Chen Mo bidding for the 12 animal heads and donating them back to the country was spread by major news media.

"The long-lost national treasure finally returns to China!"

"A true patriotic youth, Chen Mo’s good deed!"

"The return of the twelve zodiac animal heads!"

"Chen Mo spent a sky-high price to buy back the animal heads, just to send them back to the country!"

For a time, the news about the twelve zodiac animal heads being auctioned by Chen Mo and donated back to the country spread like wildfire.

One must know that many people have been paying attention to the news of the animal heads.

As soon as the news reached the country, it immediately hit the top of the trending search list.

"This news is truly tear-jerking."

"After so many years, we have finally found two more animal heads!"

"People in other countries will never understand what these animal heads mean to us."

"Wuwuwu, Mo has contributed to the country again."

"Chen Mo is too awesome, he spent so much money, and he donated it just like that."

Netizens commented below.

What Chen Mo did is of great significance to China.

Even the *Xinwen Lianbo* (News Broadcast) that day specially reported this incident in the social section.

As soon as Chen Mo’s plane landed, he received a call from Chen Fu.

"Mo, you spent 28 million US dollars to buy the animal heads and donated them to the museum unconditionally?"

Chen Fu asked on the phone.

"Yes."

Chen Mo nodded.

He thought Chen Fu called to blame him for giving away 28 million dollars for nothing.

"Well done!"

Chen Fu said with gratification.

"The things of our ancestors should return to China, and they should not be left in the hands of foreigners."

Chen Fu said with great enthusiasm.

Chen Mo could even imagine Chen Fu’s expression on the other end of the phone.

He shook his head and smiled.

That's right.

Chen Fu has donated hundreds of millions, so how could he care about this little money.

And helping China retrieve the animal heads is a thing that can increase prestige, and currently, Chen Mo’s prestige in China is getting higher and higher.

"By the way, Mo..."

Chen Fu suddenly remembered something.

"It will soon be your grandmother’s 70th birthday. You should find time to come back. Your grandmother has been thinking about seeing you."

Chen Fu’s instructions came through the phone.

"Don't worry, I will definitely rush back."

Chen Mo couldn't forget this.

Whether in his past life or this life, his grandmother was the one who loved him very much.

In his past life, when he was beaten by Chen Fu, it was his grandmother who stood in front of him and taught Chen Fu a lesson.

It’s a pity that in his past life, because of the changes in the family, his grandmother left early.

Fortunately, the family’s conditions in this life are good, and his grandparents’ health has been taken care of, and they are very strong.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo turned his head.

"Help me prepare some birthday gifts."

He instructed Xu Xiaofeng beside him.

Xu Xiaofeng wrote down everything Chen Mo told her to buy, and then went to prepare these things.

After the phone call, Chen Mo returned to the *Slumdog Millionaire* crew. As soon as he entered, he saw reporters guarding the door.

Seeing Chen Mo, the reporters immediately surrounded him.

"Chen Mo, you spent a lot of money to buy the animal heads and donated them to the Chinese Cultural Museum unconditionally. Don't you feel heartache?"

The reporters asked quickly.

These reporters are entertainment reporters who are always paying attention to Chen Mo’s movements.

Now many people inside and outside China are curious about what Chen Mo is thinking.

"I just did what a Chinese person should do."

Chen Mo answered lightly.

After saying this, Chen Mo did not answer any more questions from the reporters and returned to the crew to continue filming.

That day, the answer to Chen Mo’s interview was spread back to the country.

Originally, Chen Mo’s donation of the animal heads made many people admire Chen Mo. Hearing Chen Mo’s answer, more people admired Chen Mo.

This is the real idol!

On the other side, Republic of India.

For a week in a row, the filming of *Slumdog Millionaire* went very smoothly.

According to the current filming progress, the film should be able to finish filming ahead of schedule.

……

One week later.

Beijing, Chen family.

"Happy birthday, Grandma!"

Yang Mi entered the house with big bags and small bags, and as soon as she entered the house, she ran to her grandmother to celebrate her birthday happily.

"Good girl."

Grandmother saw Yang Mi and greeted her happily.

"Grandma! I'm here too, I wish you a long life!"

As soon as Yang Mi finished speaking, she saw Liu Shishi running in at the door.

Today, Liu Shishi and Yang Mi were both wearing bright red clothes, and grandmother looked festive.

Although it was her 70th birthday, grandmother was not a person who liked to be high-profile.

So the whole family gathered together to celebrate her birthday.

Yang Mi and Liu Shishi were both around grandmother, calling her grandmother very intimately.

"Grandma, if you have any wishes, you can say them, and we will help you realize them."

Liu Shishi blinked and looked at grandmother.

"That's right, Grandma, just treat it as our filial piety to you."

Yang Mi nodded, agreeing with what Liu Shishi said.

Grandmother took Liu Shishi and Yang Mi’s hands and patted them.

"Grandma doesn't lack anything. If I have one wish, it is when I can hold a big fat grandson. This is my biggest wish."

Grandmother said happily.

"This can't depend on us, it depends on Mo."

Hearing grandmother say this, Yang Mi’s face turned red.

"That's right, where is Mo?"

Liu Shishi also reacted and looked around.

"Mo said he is still on the way and will be here soon."

Chen Mu said.

"Chen Mo, this stinky boy, Mi and Fei have already rushed over, why hasn't he come yet?"

Chen Fu stood at the door, waiting and waiting, but didn't see Chen Mo come back.

He pulled his sleeves.

"Today is his grandmother’s 70th birthday, and he dares to be late. Let's see how I teach him a lesson later."

The more Chen Fu said, the angrier he became, and he simply took off his slippers.

Don't look at him as the richest man in China now, when it comes to handy things, slippers are still the most powerful.

Just when Chen Fu was looking outside the house, a sports car stopped at the door.

Then Chen Mo got out of the car.

"Stinky boy, I told you to come back early, why are you back so late?"

Seeing Chen Mo, Chen Fu took his slippers and was about to go up.

Seeing this, Chen Mo used the big and small bags of gifts in his hand to block.

"Didn't I come back? Dad, be careful not to break the porcelain I bought for Grandma. You also know that Grandma likes these things the most."

Chen Mo grinned.

Chen Fu was so angry that he couldn't do anything about Chen Mo.

The old lady really likes porcelain.

Looking at Chen Mo’s appearance, he should have bought a good piece of porcelain, and the value will definitely not be low.

Otherwise, he wouldn't say that.

"Go in and celebrate your grandmother’s birthday first, and I will deal with you later."

Chen Fu said, in fact, the anger in his heart had dissipated more than half.
