Chapter 521 10 million lost cultural relics
"Grandpa Sun, your house is amazing, a single-family courtyard, tsk, how much is this worth. Xiao Peng was amazed when he entered the door.
"You kid, where did you get so much, and you're embarrassed to say that my house is worth a lot, how much is your little courtyard worth?"
Xiao Peng said seriously: "This is different, the furniture in my house is worth a little money, and you are a house worth a lot." Peng Cheng, you are waiting for the bureau today. "The one who ran on the side and ran the back end of the tea and water was Sun Pengcheng, the eldest grandson of Sun Lao.
Sun Pengcheng scratched his head and said, "My grandfather said that this is the way to be hospitable." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Peng looked at Sun Lao with a surprised expression: "Grandpa Sun, how did I smell the smell of the Hongmen Banquet?"
When Sun Lao heard Xiao Peng's words, his face sank deliberately, and he looked unhappy: "How can you speak? Let's go, hurry into the house, it's so cold outside. ”
Xiao Peng followed Sun Lao into the house, there were only Lu Lao and Director Wang of the Palace Museum in the room, Xiao Peng greeted the two, Lu Lao was okay, Director Wang looked at him with the wrong eyes, and Xiao Peng was furious when he saw it.
The meals were ready, and Sun Lao smiled and said: "Come, this table is a serious court dish, and the chef who cooks the dishes is the imperial chef of the palace, how about you try this craft?"
Xiao Peng picked up the chopsticks, thought about it for a long time, and put the chopsticks back in their place: "Grandpa Sun, if you have something to say, just say it, you do this, my heart is furious, this is not like your style." ”
Sun Lao smiled angrily: "You kid, are you still scared if you are kind to you?" Okay, since you have said so, then let's get down to business first!" After speaking, Sun Lao took out a small box from the side: "Can you look at this quality?"
Xiao Peng took the box and opened it to see that it was a brown round object, and a strange smell came to his face. "This musk is good. ”
Sun Lao said: "Well, this is according to what you said, Himalayan musk deer, live musk deer take incense, but this year's output is not high, after all, the number of these Himalayan musk deer is not much, but the good news is that many small musk deer were born this year, and they can also take incense in about three years." ”
"What is the state of conservation? It only takes wild musk deer to be effective. This is Xiao Peng's purpose. Don't start artificial breeding of Himalayan musk deer for musk deer.
Sun Lao said: "Okay, you kid, do you think we don't know what your kid thinks? You want us to plant safflowers, and you must wild Himalayan musk deer, don't you mean to protect them? Then let me tell you a good news." The state has built the country's largest wildlife nature reserve in southern Sichuan and western Sichuan, and has stationed troops all year round to combat poaching. The new "Law on the Protection of Wild Animals" was promulgated immediately, and once the poaching of animals above the second level of the state is caught without a cap, the illegal gains will be confiscated!
(This year, a person in Xinyang City, Henan Province, arrested four 'pheasants' and sentenced him to five years and a fine of 30,000 yuan.) That's not an ordinary pheasant, it's a national second-class animal, the white-crowned pheasant, and now animal protection is so ruthless)
Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "Grandpa Sun, you have finally done something serious." ”
"Ahh "What we didn't do was serious?"
"Well, I'm saying the wrong thing, that's it, okay, bring all this year's musk, I'll produce a batch of medicinal baths first. Xiao Peng said. "Is that all this so mysterious? Now you can eat, right?"
As soon as Xiao Peng's voice fell, Curator Wang coughed dryly on the side, and kept glancing at Old Envoy Lu. The scene was very embarrassing, because his small actions were seen by everyone.
Lu Lao also made Curator Wang's actions make his old face red, coughed dryly, and said, "Xiao Xiao, I heard that you have Van Gogh's "Poppies" there? Are you sure it's genuine?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "It's confirmed, it's genuine." What's wrong?"
"Xiao Xiao, look at your Qianli Rock, the environment is humid, this is not conducive to the protection of this world-famous painting, if something happens, what a pity will it be to lose the famous painting?"
Xiao Peng was amused when he heard it: "What does Elder Lu mean, it's a pity to put it in my place, but it's right to put it here for you, right?"
Curator Wang listened and nodded desperately on the side: "Yes, yes, that's what we mean." ”
Lu Lao glared at Curator Wang and motioned him not to speak: "Xiao Xiao, we don't want to take advantage of you, think about it, if such a valuable painting is lost because of some small things." So what do you think of it? Let's put it in the Palace Museum and let the Palace Museum keep it for you, what do you think? The thing must be yours! We don't want yours. ”
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Grandpa Lu, why is it you who is responsible for being blackface every time? ”
Lu Lao listened to Xiao Peng's words, and his old face turned red, and he glared at Xiao Peng fiercely, whether he saw through it or not, he was still a good friend, don't you understand this truth?
Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders: "I said Director Wang, my national treasures are still in the Forbidden City Museum, I said that I would lend them to you for a year, and now they have already been exceeded, I haven't taken them back yet, but you are thinking about my other treasures first?"
"Huh?" said Director Wang's face changed when he heard this.
Xiao Peng's six treasures were placed in the Forbidden City Museum, and they instantly became the treasures of the town hall, after all, they were national treasures taken back from foreign countries, and they were especially brought back from the Japanese Kingdom, and countless people came to watch. The Palace Museum is full of people every day, so let Xiao Peng take it back, so don't Director Wang cry?
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean to come back yet. Those treasures, continue to put them in the Forbidden City. Xiao Peng didn't want to retrieve these national treasures from the Forbidden City, and the significance of these things in the Forbidden City is much greater than that of collecting them in his own hands. After all, this is a national treasure taken back from the Wa Kingdom, and China is getting richer and stronger day by day, and the symbolic significance here is very significant.
Xiao Peng's words put Director Wang at ease: "What about the "Poppies"?"
Xiao Peng showed an apologetic expression: "That "Poppy" is no longer in my hands. ”
"What?" Director Wang stood up directly: "Boss Xiao, did you sell that painting? Why are you so confused? You are not short of money, what are you selling it for?"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Hey, how can that painting be sold for hundreds of millions of yuan." That's not a decimal, besides, I said I sold it?"
"Ah, you didn't sell it?" Director Wang was stunned: "Then you said that the painting is not in your hands?"
"yes, I lent it out. Xiao Peng's words were bland, and the expressions of everyone present were very exciting.
"Paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars you said you would lend them out?" Director Wang grew his mouth and looked sad: "How ruined are you?
As soon as Curator Wang's words were finished, let alone Xiao Peng, even Lu Lao and Sun Lao looked at Curator Wang like fools, and sure enough, they heard Xiao Peng say: "Curator Wang, I think you are right, I am indeed too loser, these things can't be borrowed, can you return my few pieces to me first?"
"Uh。。。。。。。 Curator Wang was dumbfounded, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few big mouths, but didn't he, why did he forget this stubble again, didn't he let Xiao Peng catch the words?
Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, Director Wang, I won't tease you anymore, the painting was borrowed by Bloomberg for a charity exhibition, you may not know me, I am still more enthusiastic about charity, Bloomberg is my friend, so I lent him a year, but I don't understand, why does the Palace Museum care so much about this painting?"
Curator Wang didn't answer Xiao Peng's question directly, but stretched out a finger and spit out a number in his mouth: "Ten million." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Peng didn't understand what he meant.
Curator Wang sighed and explained: "In our Huaxia, there are more than 10 million cultural relics lost overseas!"
"So many?" Hearing this number, Xiao Peng also took a breath.
Director Wang continued: "Among them, 1.65 million pieces are collected by more than 200 museums in the world, and they are all fine cultural relics! What many famous museums in the world, such as the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Tokyo National Museum, and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, have a large number of Chinese national treasures on display for people to visit, and we Chinese people want to see these treasures, but we can only see them at home, but can only go to other people's land to see them! There are many more artifacts in private hands or whose whereabouts are unknown, which becomes a permanent regret. ”
"I think many Chinese people are buying back these cultural relics at a high price and letting them return to China. Xiao Peng asked.
"10 million pieces! How to buy them back?" Director Wang said angrily: "Not to mention all of them, we have calculated an account, and only calculated the cultural relics collected by more than 200 museums in 47 countries in the world, and we in China will have to spend 164 trillion yuan to buy back these lost cultural relics! It is almost equivalent to our country's total GDP in three years! And they will not sell it! Because the value of many lost cultural relics can no longer be measured by money, and those museums will not cede them at all!"
Xiao Peng was puzzled: "But I see that there are still many people who have successfully repurchased national treasures." ”
Curator Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think those crooked nuts are all living Lei Feng Bethune? They are looking at the Chinese people's money now and their determination to buy back the national treasure, so they are desperately trying to raise the price of the Chinese national treasure! To give a simple example, you know the twelve beast heads, right?"
Xiao Peng nodded. Director Wang continued: "In 2000, Poly Group spent nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars to buy back three cultural relics: the head of a cow and a beast, the head of a monkey and the head of a tiger, but in 2007, when the patriotic businessman Stanley Ho bought back the head of a horse, it cost 69.1 million Hong Kong dollars! The price increased sevenfold! Why did it have this price? Isn't it because those foreign devils are trying to speculate that they want to hack our Chinese people's money?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng clenched his fists: "What a special turtle grandson, don't we have a way to clean them up?"
