Chapter 1505: Let's Look at the Heavens First!

In fact, there is no need for Alyosha to say, Zhang Nan has already made a conclusion, who made this a standard official kiln pastel painted gold Amitayus Buddha seated statue, and it was an imperial gadget that Qianlong once had.

30 centimeters high, things Zhang Nan is too lazy to look carefully, anyway, it is a finely made, bright glaze, solemn appearance, rich and luxurious, typical of the art style of the old man's court Buddha statue.

To sum it up, it's just one word of the - vulgar!

It is said that in order to burn this kind of fancy and magnificent Buddha statue, Tang Ying, the governor of Jingdezhen, was almost driven crazy.

Let Alyosha write down the number above, and the original label words "Liuping 20388", "Review 22", "So 160801", nine times out of ten are also from the outer eight temples.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, so I simply asked everyone to pry open all the remaining boxes at once, and most of them turned out to be "tattered" in Zhang Nan's eyes, and the two ancient Egyptian bronze daggers similar to Tutankhamun's meteorite daggers were still a little interested.

This is a very large batch of smuggled cultural relics in a single transaction, and the head of the smuggling syndicate who has been wiped out from the world by the combined forces is obviously very powerful, and he can get his hands on the objects of the main exporting countries of cultural relics smuggling.

Don't look at the things that Zhang Nan got this time in his eyes are "tattered" piles, in fact, cultural relics of this level are the main force of the smuggling market, and this large pile may also be sold for tens of millions of dollars.

Tens of millions of dollars, even in New York, is an out-and-out huge amount of money, and the person who controls this smuggling syndicate can be regarded as the number one person in his circle.

But it didn't matter, not to mention the leader of the group, even a group of backbone subordinates had almost disappeared in the past two days, just because Zhang Nan understated a thought: I'm a little interested in that warehouse.

Who made him not a good person, to say that honest business is not as fast as breaking the law to make money, small fights, sneaky is not as good as directly robbing, the fastest is to make money and kill people!

There are too many "not good people" like this, Zhang Nan doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with what he is doing, and the position of his ass determines his thinking. Besides, this way of operation is the real norm of this world, just like the United States bombed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, destroyed Saddam, and later killed Gaddafi, and easily made Assad's chicken and dog jump...

Taking a bottle of laundry detergent as a reason can smash a country and kill hundreds of thousands of people, and many times you don't even need a reason, and when the made-up reason is exposed, you don't need to explain it - explain it to the ghost?

If you can't do it, you don't want it at all, this is the reality of the world.

A big fist is the truth, the truth is only within the range of the cannon, it is really a good person who does not live long, and the scourge lasts for a thousand years!

As soon as he turned around, he called Nong Bosheng again and told him about the Buddha statue, and then took a few Eastern European-style gold and silver utensils and two ancient Egyptian bronze daggers and went to the estate, leaving the rest to Jerry Goodencowan and Thomas to deal with.

As soon as you get home, take a good shower, and all your clothes need to be washed and ironed before you can wear them again.

Even the shoes have to be brushed once!

This is a habit for two lifetimes, and after coming into contact with any "relatively fresh" cultural relics that come out of the ground, I will take a bath and change clothes as much as possible.

The clothes that have been changed have to be exposed to the sun, so as not to leave any unclean yin air.

.......

The Turks are busy saving themselves, the Africans are busy fighting, China is busy developing the economy, and Russia is busy engaging in the "government and hospital disputes"... As for the United States, while busy being its world policeman, it has recently carried out two arrests of Farah Aideed in Somalia, but unfortunately not to mention people, not even a shadow is seen!

The Black Hawk has not yet fallen, but this is normal, Zhang Nan vaguely remembers that the US military has operated in Somalia six or seven times, and the last time it was unlucky.

Zhang Nan's life was not turbulent, and he didn't even go out of the United States, so he went to his own ranch in Montana for a short vacation, and stayed on Long Island the rest of the time.

The psychological age is a lot, with children, tidying up their collections, fishing, this day is like a fairy.

As for the two Forbidden City cultural relics that have been sent to Huaxia, the source of this is quickly figured out, it is the Eight Temples Outside Chengde, and it took a few days for the thieves to find out.

This is a shocking case, the thief is actually Li Haitao, deputy director of the cultural relics and cultural relics protection data room of the Outer Eight Temples, who said that he is the deputy position, but in fact he is the first leader in the management of the cultural relics of the Outer Eight Temples!

In the local area of Chengde, this Li Haitao is known as an expert in cultural relics, and everyone evaluates him as "very knowledgeable and professional in the study of cultural relics".

These situations were just after Labor Day, Nong Bosheng called to tell Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan also told the other party by the way: "The batch of messy Chinese cultural relics that flowed to the United States has been shipped by sea some time ago, and it will probably be disembarked in Beilun Port in ten and a half months, and my sister's people will contact you at that time..."

After saying this, he listened to Nong Bosheng and said: "Then I have to arrange this, I have to leave for Kazakhstan the day after tomorrow, and it is estimated that I will not be able to come back in at least half a month." ”

"Kazakhstan?"

Zhang Nan didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Haha... You are a noble person who forgets a lot of things, and the matter of the joint investigation in Central Asia and Eastern Europe was contacted by the people under you at the end of last year, and this trip to Issyk-Kul in the east of Almaty, the burial area of the nobles of the Cypriots 2,500 years ago.

In '69, the Soviets carried out preliminary excavations there, and this trip was just a formality..."

"I know that, it's another thing. When will you be able to get to Almaty, how many old friends do you have?"

"I have to go to the capital to gather first, counting the students... About a dozen, the international flight was supposed to arrive in Almaty on the afternoon of the 5th. Nong Bosheng was a little puzzled: Could it be that this Zhang Nan is going to join in the fun again?

Kazakhstan is not Mongolia, and the Issyk-Kul burial area is not in a no-man's land, but on the edge of the town of Issyk-Kul, which has a large population and can be called a small city.

The cemetery has been built into a protected area, and a robbery-style "archaeological" excavation is impossible.

This Zhang Nan said: "It's too late, you go and ask for the flight number, and I will ask someone to pick you up in Almaty on the 5th." Let's put aside the Scythians, the Cypriots, and I'll take you to a place first. ”

"Where?"

Now Nong Bosheng can't figure out what the situation is.

"I said brother-in-law, you haven't been watching the news lately?

Guan Xingquan took the Russian TM-17 spacecraft into space on the afternoon of the 6th, and we went to the scene to support!

How's that, are you interested?"

"Of course I'm interested!" Xiaoguan Niucha! Of course I'm going..."Nong Bosheng's voice was excited, "Didn't you say that it would be half a year younger?"

"Ahead of schedule.

Originally, he took the Soyuz TM-18 spacecraft, but it turned out that Brother Guan trained quickly, and he didn't have time to stay in Russia all the time. The Russians are not slow either, and the news will come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."

Dig the ground slowly, let's look at the sky first!

Guan Xingquan is a proper fierce man, and this time he is a pure tourist who goes to the sky to see the scenery, and he does not need to go through the various "work and emergency" training of ordinary astronauts.

Guan Boss goes to space, as long as his physical condition is suitable and he knows the basic common sense of space travel, it doesn't take too long.

More importantly, Guan Xingquan is proficient in Russian, and he can communicate with Russian cosmonauts, trainers, and staff without barriers, which greatly shortens the training time.

More than 20 million US dollars is a lot, you must know that in the past two years, the president of the Soviet Union was so poor that he could not pay the foreign exchange for meetings and hotels abroad, and this will not be much better for Russia, and the foreign exchange reserves are miserable, but some newly rising consortia have a lot in their hands.

Now that the Mir space station is in a maintenance state, one less long-term assistant astronaut to go up to rotate saves money!

In order to make a lot of money as soon as possible, the Russians used a brutal way to slightly increase the applicable length of one of the seats in the spacecraft's return capsule, and then changed the volume and placement of the head storage bags for the three astronauts, and the SoyuzTM spacecraft with a height of 1.86 meters for one of the astronauts was just that.

Maozi has always had a style, simple, rough and direct!

The external modification of the spacecraft is a big project, and this trip does not even need to change the internal wires and pipelines, so there is no problem with safety and cost.

Guan Boss is not overweight, which is very important, as for the spacesuit, it is even simpler, it can be customized, anyway, Mr. Tourist pays for it.

Russia needs money, it really needs money, and according to Ye's estimates, it will take at least 95-96 years for the country to get out of the incredibly difficult situation it is in today.

There is a shortage of money everywhere, and in the space project alone, the rent of the Baiknur Space Center in Kazakhstan will have to be more than 100 million dollars a year starting next year, and there is nothing that cannot be compromised for the sake of money.

......

This will be a great deal for Nong Bosheng, watching Guan Xingquan go to space is a great event, and although it is also true for Zhang Nan (mainly a security issue), but just two days ago, a secret message transmitted by the Russian side is a real big thing!

Russia is poor, probably because of the stimulation of the successful sale of the "Komsomol Member" allocated to Ukraine, Ye's actually wants to sell Zhang Nan's big ship, or sell two at a time!

Not the "Glorious" class, not a custom-made submarine, but the first two ships of the "Kirov" class, which are in fact lying on their stomachs, are in a chicken rib and cumbersome!

The last battlecruiser!

Except for the last one that has not yet been completed, Zhang Nan can't remember the new name of the giant ship after the collapse of the Soviet Union: this admiral, that admiral's, the names are still outrageous, and the old ship names set during the Soviet Union are still smooth.

Russia cannot afford to inherit a huge fleet, a large number of ships will be abandoned, and the main gear engine of the "Kirov" will be replaced, and if it wants to be reactivated, it will have to be repaired again by disemboweling, which will only be able to lie in Murmansk.

The second ship "Fronz" has a much smaller problem, but it also needs to be repaired, otherwise it will not be able to go to sea at all, which will be put into reserve and is resting in the port of Great Kamen, which is subordinate to the Pacific Fleet!

As for the No. 3 ship, that guy will be regarded as one of the faces of the Russian Navy, and he is still alive, but the giant ship in Zhang Nan's memory seems to have to rest in another four or five years.

The last "Peter the Great" has not been built at all, the slipway on the 86 years, and the service will be 98 years, thanks to the support system that Russia itself can handle all the construction projects of the "Kirov" class, otherwise the outcome will be worse than the "Komsomol" cruiser in the previous life!

Since Russia can handle the repair and maintenance of the "Kirov" class battlecruiser by itself, Zhang Nan dares to ask for it!

We are not short of money, as long as the price is right, the contract can be negotiated: Zhang Nan knows Maozi's virtue in selling things, and the reconstruction of an aircraft carrier will make India immortal, but he has a way to restrain it!

The Red Devils, together with the group of experts from the Red Navy who had come down and joined the combined forces, had a preliminary suggestion that the two "Kirov" class battlecruisers should be overhauled within a period of 18 months, with a maximum of 24 months.

All the slightly aging equipment and pipelines will be replaced, including nuclear fuel rods, the air conditioning system will be improved, the SA-N-6 long-range air defense missile system will be upgraded as a whole, and the missiles installed in it will be replaced with the S-300PMU2, which has actually been successfully developed, has not yet been made public, and has no money for mass production, and so on.

In terms of technology and equipment, today's Russia does not have many secrets in front of the Red Devils. Besides, Russia is not the Soviet Union, and letting them sell chicken ribs at a reasonable price is not a betrayal of the nation, and it is even a kind of help.

Zhang Nan wants the best in everything, those dollars don't need to go out and will only depreciate, is it worth counting tons of paper to play?

Russia guarantees the 50-year exploitation rights of two large-scale high-quality oil fields, and once it cannot be completed and delivered on time with quality and quantity, the oil fields are Sunshine Star Company!

The country's credibility is guaranteed by its actual interests, and we are not afraid that Russia will play small tricks and build a good ship and not give it, otherwise it will be killed in the end!

In the past two or three years, Russia has not had the money to complete the No. 4 ship "Peter the Great", let alone the money and the need to repair and use the "Kirov" and "Fronz".

In order to tide over the current difficulties, it is a good way to throw away those two useless "breakwaters": in the eyes of Ye and Russian politicians, the Russian Navy cannot afford to raise or use it at all in the visible ten or twenty years, and there is no need to keep four "Kirovs".

Even the unfinished "Peter the Great", this Ye wants to sell: the Sukhoi Design Bureau will sell it, and what else can't be sold!

If you dare to sell it, I will dare to ask for it, Zhang Nan is so poor that he has a lot of money, and even Zhang Nan, a new generation of attack nuclear submarines that the Russians have no money to build, has paid for and "rented" for decades, and there is nothing that he dare not ask for.

A large number of auxiliary ships and boats were also bought, not counting small ships, the "modern" class destroyers that had not yet been completed by the Northern Shipyard, the "Dreadnought" class large anti-submarine destroyers that had no money to continue to build and had not been in service for several years, the newly built conventional submarines, and the "Krivac" III-class frigates, Zhang Nan ordered several of each.

He doesn't want an aircraft carrier, it's useless to ask for it, but the "Kirov" class will be a guard of honor for another twenty or thirty years, and it will be energetic to look at.

Besides, the investment in Lao Pu will pay off in a few years, and the big ship will not have to worry about having no place to repair and upgrade in the future.

Not to mention that the Russians will not be able to complete the contract, they are all guaranteed by Russia's energy and resources.

But in another ten years, if the contract is not completed, Zhang Nan will make money in the next few decades because of these unfinished contracts!

It's not a loss left and right, it's quite fun, why don't you talk to Maozi?

If you want to talk about it, you have to be fast, and when it will not be so difficult for Russia in three or four years, it is estimated that people will prefer to let the big ships lie in the sea and rust on the breakwater, and they will not sell it!

As for now, just like today's Ukrainian Black Sea shipyards, with a poor and crazy rhythm, they can sell anything, dare to sell anything!

Buy, buy, buy!

Buy it a big fleet, even if the fleet disappears in thirty or forty years, it will still leave a strong mark in history, and after hundreds or thousands of years, there will be an interesting history written by history.

As for the reaction of Washington and other countries, it is the same analysis as buying the "Communist Youth League": If you have an opinion, I'll try it!

The day after the phone call with Nong Bosheng, Zhang Nan took a large group of people to Kazakhstan in his two Boeing 747 and 767.

Boss Guan wants to go to heaven, Zhang Nan has to take a group of relatives and friends to the scene to watch, and express spiritual support for Boss Guan's brave behavior!
