Section 119 The Emperor's Capital 24
By the time the deputy director said goodbye and left, it was already early.
He dragged around in the other person's house, covering up his core problem (or as much as possible) with a lot of superfluous nonsense. When discussing with Song Quan later, he even talked about one of the most troublesome antiques - ancient forged fakes.
In fact, although the counterfeiting of antiques is more rampant in modern times than in ancient times, even in ancient times, this kind of thing has never been stopped. According to Song Quan, there were four climactic periods of counterfeiting in Chinese history, the first climax occurred in the Song Dynasty, mainly in the forgery of Shang and Zhou bronzes, and the second climax was in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, mainly in the forgery of celebrity calligraphy and paintings. It is said that Qianlong Xingxi collected calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and many of them were counterfeits in the collection of the Great Inner Palace with his inscriptions; at the end of the third Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Mr. Zhang Daqian, who had been mentioned before, was a very famous master of fakes in order to make a living when he was young, and he forged a lot of calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasties. Of course, the most powerful one is the counterfeiting trend that began in the mid-80s of the last century.
In the eighties of the last century, it was fine, but those fakes made in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, with the passage of time, the fakes themselves have become antiques. This places high demands on connoisseurs. You must know that even now, the means of appreciation are mainly people, and the appraiser's own origin and knowledge should be based on his or her rich experience as a judgment. Technological means are only auxiliary. But in the face of these "real fakes", there are countless examples of connoisseurs falling into the sand. Even if it is a leader in the industry, it is easy to regard those pseudo-Shang and Zhou bronzes that have also been washed away by time and the Song Dynasty as Shang and Zhou bronzes. In the final analysis, there are traces of the fakes that have just been made, no matter how good the forgery is, but those antiques that have also been placed for more than a thousand years are difficult to say. It is also difficult for the eyes of experts to judge the difference between a thousand years ago and two thousand years ago.
Director Chen took an antique appraisal class under the guidance of President Song. His attitude can also be described as "condescending and respectful". But until he finally took his leave, Song Quan didn't figure out what he wanted to do.
Maybe it's just a temptation, and the real deal, the owner will come out to negotiate? But in any case, this visit can be said to be a happy parting of the guests and hosts.
Song Quan, of course, sent the guests out of the door and it was over. So he didn't notice that the other party had gone out for a short distance, so he took out his notebook and wrote down some things.
"The salvage of Hailao porcelain is more complicated than tomb robbery...... "He was satisfied and recorded some relevant content from Song Quan. After all, some things must be discussed and studied with experts to be convincing, and things that are taken for granted cannot be shown to leaders.
The puzzle of his mind was completed with another big piece. Now, the originally vague characters have gradually become clear.
Lu Wu is a very ordinary student. At least, that's what I got from the homeroom teachers and teachers at the university. If he has any fame, it is probably about cooperating with Ren Jian to make rotten fruits into fruit platters and sell them to his classmates. Of course, there was no food poisoning or anything like that, and it didn't take long for it to be noticed, so it was just a joke.
Other than that, mediocre in terms of grades, mediocre in relationships, mediocre in daily performance, and in short, mediocre in all aspects. After graduating, I also wanted to take the civil service exam for the first time when I was looking for a job.
He also found the interviewer. According to the interviewer, Lu Wu looked too ordinary. The unit is short of people, find a newcomer, and want to choose an excellent point, which can be used as a pillar soon when it comes. is not Lu Wu, who seems to be a relatively ordinary type and is very mediocre in all aspects.
If you go further, you have to ask Lu Wu's classmates to ask. But there is a possibility that this can be a surprise (as everyone knows, it is common for graduating students to contact each other, but on the contrary, there is much less contact with teachers), and this level is almost enough.
In addition, someone went to Lu Wu's hometown to inquire about some details of family origin. But at least, as far as he can see so far, Lu Wu has been an innocent ordinary person in his college career for a few years, as innocent and flawless as a hard-boiled egg with a shell peeled off, without any special features.
Now it seems that everything started after he graduated, specifically after he failed to take the civil service exam.
The puzzle is not quite complete, but the overall outline is already clearly visible.
If the ordinary inverted bucket, that is, tomb robbery, may be completed with the cooperation of two or three people, then the seabed salvage is not so simple. This requires a series of conditions, such as the need for a ship that cannot be too small in tonnage and a sailor to drive the boat. Professional diving salvage equipment and professional divers are required. Some specialized equipment and corresponding operators are required for positioning and observing the seabed.
According to Song Quan's estimates, if you want to carry out seabed salvage, especially deep-sea salvage, you need at least a professional team of about 30 people. If the level of professionalism is not enough, the number of personnel will have to be increased.
Of course, Song Quan is not familiar with the specific business, but after all, he has experience in contact with this aspect, even if it is not much, his words can be used as a very powerful auxiliary evidence.
There are no strict measures taken by the state to salvage the wreck, but there is no encouragement either. It is impossible for such a team to live by salvaging shipwrecks and antiques every day - there are not so many shipwrecks. If there is really a shipwreck that is easy to salvage, the government will salvage it itself, where can it be found by others. Therefore, this is a team with professional equipment such as boats, diving equipment, etc., but it does not live purely by salvaging wrecks.
Combined with the limited information, it's easy to deduce that this is a sea smuggling force. In other words, smuggling is their main business, on the contrary, salvaging sunken ships or something, but doing it by the way. As for why salvage equipment is needed, this is because smuggling is also technical in this industry.
There is such news on the Internet now - in order to prevent risks, in today's transactions, it is often the case that one party throws the goods (after waterproof packaging) directly into the water, and only needs to hand over the latitude and longitude to the other party to salvage it by itself. It has to be said that this approach greatly reduces the risk, which can be called unaware. Even well-armed anti-smuggling police are often helpless in the face of such tactics. After all, this kind of thing has to pay attention to the fact that everyone has stolen goods, and if there is no evidence, you can't help others.
Smuggling is a profiteering industry, and if smuggling, for example, drugs and munitions, it is even more of a profiteering. People who are engaged in this kind of industry, if not outlaws, are not far off. It's easy to guess that these outlaws are armed. One could even say armed to the teeth. The current government is cracking down on smuggling more and more, but in the end, this kind of thing is still not completely stopped.
However, although the outline is gradually becoming clearer, there are still many missing parts. For example, what did Lu Wu do to get in touch with that kind of group and get trusted. Or what happened that night. Also, what is Lu Wu's current situation? Why did he inexplicably go to Kunlun Mountain to play? Also, why was the closed steel factory bought and suddenly restarted production?
In fact, if you think about it, there may be many questions that don't need to be answered. However, the reason why a leader is a leader is, in the final analysis, because he never does reckless and reckless things. He always thinks before he acts. It must be said that this is a very good quality. People who rush out recklessly when they get a little bit of information are stupid. Dog beating is always a simple thing, but generally speaking, there is an owner behind the dog.
After being with the leader for so long, he has also been greatly influenced and has accepted this cautious and cautious way of doing things. He then had to put the whole puzzle together as best he could. It doesn't matter if it takes a few more months, there is still some patience for that.
The car was already waiting on the side. In the short time he stopped to write, the driver reversed the car to his side. Now he just needs to open the door and get in the car.
He inexplicably remembered President Song's class just now. For connoisseurs, the hardest thing is the "real fakes". Originally, it was a forgery forged by later generations, but as time passed, it became an antique itself. The value of this kind of stuff in some cases is not even lost to the original.
This is similar to what is happening at the moment, and he is looking for every suspicious thing little by little, and finally forming a conclusion.
……
The lamb walked slowly. It hesitated, as if it didn't know if it should move forward. But the food in Thomas's hand (the tender grass he dug out from under the snow) was so tempting that the lamb could not resist the temptation, and took a few steps forward and ate it in Thomas's hand.
Thomas turned his camera to the finest level, and captured this incomparably precious scene without missing a beat. A wild Tibetan antelope actually took food from a human hand, which should be unprecedented information. Enough for photographers who specialize in photographing wild animals to die of envy.
He threw the grass on the ground. The lamb immediately lowered his head to eat, so Thomas could reach out and touch the lamb's head. Of course, this scene was also filmed carefully.
By the way, while taking pictures in my hand, there was also a camera working the side. This time it's not just photos, it's also videos!
The little lamb's parents watched vigilantly not far away. Especially my father, with a toned and majestic horn, watched Thomas's every move vigilantly. It seems that if Thomas does something bad, he will rush up and pierce the bipedal walking creature with its horns.
This attitude is completely inconsistent with the Tibetan antelope's always clever and timid style. Normal Tibetan antelopes, let alone getting people close, they will be highly vigilant when they enter the field of vision. If you get a little closer, you will run away, and it is simply impossible to have such close contact. But come to think of it, after all, the Tibetan antelope is a large ethnic group, and after the protection of the state, the number has now reached hundreds of thousands. Among them, there is a small herd of Tibetan antelopes, mavericks, nothing is a big deal. It can only be said that Thomas was lucky.
Thomas had planned to leave today to ask for help, but he was attracted by the flock. As mentioned earlier, they are not very afraid of people, but they did not expect them to stop at the edge of the camp. When Thomas opened his eyes in the morning, he saw them moving nearby. Such an opportunity is not to be missed by journalists and photographers.
In fact, if it weren't for Lu Wu's life and death, Thomas wouldn't want to leave at all. This place is really good, not in vain. The harvest was so abundant that he almost couldn't get a little out of it. If he wanted to, he could have single-handedly taken a whole set of video photos of Tibetan antelopes, which would have shocked the photography world.
The lamb finished eating and ran away without any concern. Thomas reluctantly watched the little lamb go away. It is worthy of the Tibetan antelope, it feels very good to the touch, delicate and smooth, and there is no body odor common to wild animals.
However, this is also the end. The flock is already clearly preparing to leave. Although they are certain that Thomas is not dangerous, as a migrating animal, they will not stay here for long. Of course, there aren't many plants left in this place. They want to move towards areas where there is more food.
In about half an hour, Thomas also packed all his bags. Just in case, he left a tent behind and left a note in the tent. Then get in the car and drive towards the road you came from.
