Chapter 388 Return Gift

"Ashley, why are you mad, what are you doing with so many things into your room? What do you want to do with the kitchen spoon and spatula? And my father's pipe, and my mother's pen holder. ”

"Boss! These things are cultural relics, they are all works of art, and we have to protect them. Ashley ran to John with a disheveled hair and picked up the spoon and the spatula, and said, "This spoon and spatula are carved sterling silver utensils, and they belong to the British royal family, and you see that there are royal marks on them." ”

"Go, go, I know this thing better than you, these tableware were given to the Morgan family by Queen Victoria in order to thank Morgan for her friendship, a total of three sets, one set of gold, two sets of silver.

And my father's pipe, where's my mother's pen holder? ”

"No, no, smoking will damage the zenith painting, the ceiling painting in the big boss's study is very exquisite, it is a master's work, and it can't be damaged. Madame's pen holder is an 18th-century ivory work, a work of art that must be well preserved. Ashley took Mrs. Morgan's pen holder and old Morgan's pipe in her arms and refused to give them to John.

"If you continue to mess around like this, I'll kick you out of the manor. John looked at Ashley angrily and threatened.

"I'll be back, I can find my way. Ashley was not afraid of threats: "And your teacup is also a work of art, and it can't be used." ”

"You ....... John clutched his temples with a headache, and Ashley was a dog skin plaster that he couldn't shake off.

"Well, then you should never think about going into the warehouse. John offered a killer idea: "Either you give these things back, then don't go into the warehouse." You pick one for yourself. ”

Ashley held her pipe and pen holder and blinked and thought about it, she wanted to go to the warehouse, but she didn't want to give up these things either.

"I'm going to the warehouse. ”

"Then send these things back. ”

"I don't. ”

"Then you are not allowed to go to the warehouse. ”

"I'm going to the warehouse. ”

"Then return the thing. ”

"I don't. ”

"You ....... ”

After a few rounds of stalemate, John couldn't do anything about Ashley at all.

"Ashley, you have seriously affected the life of the manor, you know? These things are precious works of art to you, but they are daily necessities to the Morgan family, and your rough methods will not only fail to protect these things, but you will probably be kicked out of the Morgan house. ”

Just when John and Dani have nothing to do with Ashley, Wilan Stillman suddenly appears.

"Then you say you should do that?" Ashley ran up to Willyl Stillman with her pipe and pen holder, of course she knew that what she did would likely anger everyone and get her kicked out of Morgan's house, but she didn't have a good way to make it impossible for her to sit idly by.

Weilan Stillman smiled slightly: "This is very simple. You can ask your mini-boss to ask the goldsmith to recreate a few pairs according to the appearance of these tableware, as for the zenith paintings, you can ask someone to maintain them, just paint a protective layer for these zenith paintings, as for the cleaning is simpler, you can gather all the servants and tell them the cleaning and maintenance knowledge of cultural relics and artworks, so that it will be solved. ”

Ashley blinked and thought about it, thinking that Weilan Stillman's solution was good, so she looked at John and waited for a reply.

"I'll have the goldsmith do it tomorrow, okay, can I get it back?"

"No, no, you have to make a new pen holder, and you have to promise me someone to maintain the zenith painting, and let me train the servants, and I have to go to the warehouse. ”

"Okay, as long as you return the things, I promise you all of that. ”

In the end, Ashley finally returned all the things, and this time the small turmoil was successfully resolved.

"Miss Weilan, I really want to thank you this time, otherwise I ....... After getting Ashley done, John invited Willan Stillman to the living room for tea.

"No thanks, I also have art conservators at home, and I borrowed from them. Willyland Stillman smiled. Then he took a sip of his teacup, looked at John and said goodbye, "Okay, the tea is also drunk, I should also go, and I will go to thank Mr. and Mrs. Morgan." ”

"Walk slowly. John got up and sent Willan Stillman to the door, and then returned to the study with Dani.

After returning to the study, John let out a cloudy breath, he had just been angry with Ashley, if it weren't for Weilan Stillman, he might still be in a stalemate with Ashley now.

"Boss, I'm sorry, it was my referral that brought Ashley to the manor. Dinie blamed herself a little, Ashley was the person she recommended, so she had an unshirkable responsibility for today's matter.

"Forget it, it's not your fault, it's my own decision, and it's good that there is one more person in the family who regards the artwork as his life, at least we don't have to worry about the artwork being damaged in the future." John comforted Dani, and then sighed, "My tea set must not be saved, we must find a replacement before Ashley takes it away, otherwise we will have to make tea in a glass cup in the future." ”

"Boss, what do you like, I'll ask someone to go to Huaxia to buy it for you right away. "Dani became active, trying to atone for the crime.

"No, the tea sets purchased in the market are not good, I'll call and ask for it myself!"

After the phone called, Huaxia received his request and naturally readily agreed, and immediately arranged for a special person to go to Liling to take charge of this matter after hanging up the phone, and listed this matter as a special task, and approved the use of large ball clay production, and the production process must be refined.

Ordinary people have to give gifts to give things that can be handed, not to mention between countries, which is not about the face of the individual, but the face of the country, so Huaxia naturally attaches great importance to it.

And after hanging up the phone here, John also dragged his cheeks and meditated, asking Huaxia to make four sets of tea sets, but he couldn't open his mouth to please, the so-called gift is still exchanged, so he is now thinking about returning the gift.

But diplomacy is no trivial matter, and gift-giving is learned. Gifts between countries are not like ordinary people visiting relatives and friends to bring two good bottles of wine and two good cigarettes.

"Daini, let Sikorsky help me build 4 Black Hawk helicopters, build them and send them to China. "John is going to take the helicopter as a return gift, no way, eat the mouth is soft, take the short hand, not counting these four sets of porcelain, every year the new tea is on the market Huaxia will send some to John, otherwise where does the tea from Morgan Manor come from, just half a catty of red robe every year makes John very embarrassed, so John has no choice but to return the heavy gift.

A few years ago, Huaxia and the United States purchased 24 Black Hawks during the honeymoon period, and originally wanted to purchase 100 planes, but the relationship between Huaxia and the United States was not good all of a sudden, mainly because some people talked about the Huaxia threat theory in the ears of the old Morgan, so the old Morgan banned the sale of weapons to China, and it was not until last year that the sale of some parts of the Black Hawk was resumed, but the whole machine was still banned.

So John thought about it and decided to send a few Black Hawks to Huaxia, a set of tea sets and a Black Hawk, plus the tea money in the past few years, this gift is enough, 4 Black Hawks are tens of millions of dollars.

And this matter still needs the consent of the old Morgan, and it will be difficult for John to speak for free at that time, so John's sincerity is absolutely enough.
