Chapter 411: Centennial Cultural Relics, Returned to Their Original Owners 2
After making a phone call with a Russian foreigner, Director Jin hurriedly dialed the phone and reported the news to his superiors.
After that, his superiors hurriedly reported the news to the top, until they reached the top level of the relevant departments, and they all knew about it!
During the Opium War, we lost the "Female History Atlas", the Tang Dynasty dragon head amphora, the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain plate...... Now a Russian businessman has persuaded the British Museum to return it to our country!?"
At the beginning, Emperor Qianlong couldn't put it down, and it was rumored that he had to put it next to his pillow every night before he could fall asleep. β
"If these eight cultural relics can be returned to our country, it will be a major event that will cause a sensation throughout the country! We must handle them meticulously, and there must be no mistakes!"
β¦β¦
With the intervention of the leaders, the number of delegations to the UK rose to 12 in an instant. Among them, there are some experts who are academically knowledgeable and have studied cultural relics for decades.
Soon on Saturday, the delegation of 12 experts and scholars arrived in London, England by plane.
Every scholar in the cabin was looking forward to this trip. At that time, they received a call from their superiors saying that there were eight town-level cultural relics that would be recovered from the British Museum. I believe that any Chinese person will feel surging and excited when he hears such a glorious and exciting thing.
Five minutes later, when the plane landed smoothly at the airport, the experts and scholars, under the leadership of Director Jin, stepped off the plane one after another.
However, at this moment, a team of Russian bodyguards in suits politely blocked everyone's way. Then a man at the head said to Director Jin and the others in English, "Hello, my boss has specially prepared a vehicle for you and sent you directly to the British Museum." β
The Russian bodyguard said, raised his hand to the side, and signaled that the Land Rover luxury armored vehicles behind him were the vehicles that picked up and dropped people.
"Thank you! Thank you, I haven't asked your boss yet, what's his name?" asked Director Jin with gratitude. From the beginning to the end, they only knew that it was a Russian businessman who, through their connections, persuaded the British Museum to return the artifacts to them.
But the name of the businessman, as well as his identity, are unknown.
"Our boss's name is Ma...... V. Ivanovich Mikoyan, you'll see him later. "Because the English of the Russian bodyguard is not standard enough, and someone's Russian name is very long. So in the end, Director Jin and others still didn't find out the true identity of the donor. I didn't know that he was the chairman of the famous Mawei Group......
"Thank you very much for this gift from your boss! We will never forget his kindness!" For a large country with a history of 5,000 years, those representative historical relics record its civilization and its ebb and flow.
"You're welcome, our boss said that this is the return of things to their original owners, and they should be. "The Russian bodyguard spoke very well for his boss. This made more than 10 inspectors, including Director Jin, have a very good impression of Ma Wei. Even if I haven't seen him yet, I instinctively feel that he is a very elegant and virtuous person.
10 minutes later, everyone sat in the Land Rover luxury armored car under the guidance of Russian bodyguards. Then the car started and drove everyone to the British Museum in London.
The weather in London on Saturday was unexpectedly sunny, which made the mood of everyone in the car very good.
Three quarters of an hour later, the Land Rover convoy drove up to a huge, magnificent white building. The Ionic column-like faΓ§ade gives the building a solemn and stylish look. The retroclassical and complex design style is interwoven around the building, giving it the atmosphere of 19th-century Europe......
The Land Rover convoy did not stop in front of the British Museum, but went straight past the front door and came to the back door of the museum. There, a special person opened the iron gate for the motorcade, and then let the motorcade drive into the underground garage of the museum, which is not open to the public.
Looking at this series of secret operations, more than 10 experts and scholars, including Director Jin, suddenly thought, "If it weren't for this Russian businessman's subordinates, I would have driven them to pick them up." Then they will have to take many detours to find it on their own. β
When the Land Rover convoy slowly drove into the underground garage and stopped in the corresponding position. At this time, another team of Russian bodyguards took the initiative to open the door for the guests in the car.
At the same time, a young Russian man in a suit, accompanied by an old Englishman with white hair, appeared in the parking lot. Looking at this formation, you can guess that the Russian young man must have a lot of background.
Seeing the young man appear, more than 10 cultural relics identification experts who had just walked out of the car showed a trace of surprise on their faces. On the way here, everyone wondered what the Russian businessman would look like. For example, people who can have this kind of influence should be at least middle-aged in terms of age......
But what I never expected was that the other party was so young. It is not an exaggeration to say that the age of young people is even younger than their grandchildren and granddaughters......
"Let me introduce you, this is our boss, Mr. Mavi. "The subordinates who are responsible for receiving everyone are very timely for everyone, and they introduced.
However, as soon as his voice fell, Director Jin and the others led by him suddenly felt that the name "Ma Wei" sounded very familiar!
"Mr. Mavi? Mr. Mavi from Russia? Could it be the current chairman of the Ma V Group? The one who delivered us oil and invested in the construction of signal infrastructure some time ago? I think I've seen this name in the newspapers. β
Because Ma Wei himself does not appear in public, not many people know his appearance. People only know about his great achievements, about what he has achieved. But even if the dragon saw the tail and saw the head, he never had the opportunity to witness his dignity......
"Hello, Mr. Ma Wei, we have been hearing about your deeds in China, and I have to say that it is very admirable!" Director Jin warmly shook hands with Ma Wei in English.
However, Ma Wei, who stretched out his right hand, surprised everyone, and directly replied in fluent Chinese, "Hello, Curator Jin, thank you for the compliment." β
"That's right, "The Female History Atlas", Liangzhu Cultural Jade, Kang Hou Gui in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Glue in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Six Bo Figurines in the Eastern Han Dynasty Glazed Pottery, Three-color Civil Official Figures in the Tomb of Liu Tingxun in the Tang Dynasty, Dragon Head Amphora in the Tang Dynasty, Blue and White Porcelain Plates in the Yuan Dynasty, these 8 historical relics have been prepared for you here in the British Museum. β
