National Geographic, the official journal of the National Geographic Society, has become one of the most successful and widely known magazines in the world since its founding in 1888. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This also makes the magazine a place where photojournalists from all over the world dream of distributing their own photos, and Zhuang Rui doesn't want to think about whether a journalist who can work in such a place can be big-minded and brainless?

"Damn, what Lao Tzu dug up is not your American treasure, what do you care?"

Zhuang Rui was extremely dissatisfied with Lao Mei's world police style, this beautiful female reporter with golden eyes seemed to ask a very casual question, but she gave Zhuang Rui a trick, making it difficult for him to answer.

As one of the countries with the most serious loss of cultural relics in the world, in recent years, the relevant departments of China have been negotiating with the cultural relics departments of various countries to recover the cultural relics that were lost a hundred years ago.

Therefore, the reporter's intention to raise this issue at this time has become very sinister, if Zhuang Rui says that he agrees to return it, it will be a waste of water, and the Egyptian government will only thank the American reporter.

But if Zhuang Rui says that he disagrees, they can also hype up, saying that the Chinese people are unwilling to return the national treasures of other countries, and when the relevant domestic departments go to recover the cultural relics in the future, they will definitely use this as a statement.

"This young lady, I heard that the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in the United States is a famous museum on the same level as the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, France, and St. Petersburg in Russia, I don't know if it's true?"

Zhuang Rui didn't answer the question at first, but walked up to the reporter and asked a question.

"Of course, our Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is a place where precious works of art from all over the world are condensed, but Mr. Zhuang, this has nothing to do with the ownership of your golden mask, right?"

Reporter Liliang is not a hua bottle" immediately guessed Zhuang Rui's intentions, and immediately pulled the topic back.

"Oh, no, no, I've heard that the Metropolitan Museum of Art's treasure trove is an entire Egyptian tomb from years ago, I wonder which is more important than my golden mask?"

In addition, the works of ancient artists such as Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, Li Gonglin, Zhao Mengzhang, Dong Qichang, Fu Shan, etc., are also quite a few in your Metropolitan Museum of Art, right? Is there any intention to pay it back?"

Zhuang Rui's voice was originally very gentle, but when he said that the tone became higher and higher, he put on a completely questioning tone.

Seeing that the female reporter still wanted to speak, Zhuang Rui continued: "The other one is ugly. It seems that the old Opronios pottery vase is not very glorious, right? What qualifications does such a country have to criticize other countries?

By the way, I digress, I haven't answered this young lady's question, what I want to say is that if your country can return the Egyptian tombs, Chinese calligraphy and paintings, and other precious works of art obtained by abnormal means, as a private person, I am very happy to return this mortise and tenon gold mask to the Egyptian government free of charge."

Zhuang Rui paused when he said this, glanced at the female reporter, and said with a smile: "All the friends here can be witnesses, and what I say will be effective in my lifetime!"

Zhuang Rui's Ophronios vase is a precious ancient Greek antique "in his spare years, which was obtained by the Metropolitan Museum by informal means." The price is just four dollars.

The seller is Robert Hecht, who is wanted by the Italian police, and for more than 30 years, "the Italian side has been demanding that the Metropolitan Museum return the stolen object, but the Met Museum has always shirked it, and has not returned it until now, and has a very bad reputation in the international art world."

The meaning of Zhuang Rui's words is obvious, as a private person, I am willing to endure the loss and return the priceless precious works of art, "so as the questioner, are you willing to return the precious cultural relics that you have plundered from various countries by illegal means"?

Zhuang Rui is tantamount to countering this reporter's army, not to mention that she is not qualified to make decisions, even if she has this qualification, she will not dare to talk to Zhuang Rui anymore.

As a country with a history of only a few hundred years, the United States has no history and culture of its own, and almost all of the collections in their museums were acquired by improper means.

If the Metropolitan Museum of Art is willing to return those artworks, I am afraid that this museum will soon face the situation of closing its doors.

Zhuang Rui's words made the venue completely quiet, China is the country with the largest loss of ancient cultural relics, the national museum to which these people belong to which museum does not have illegally obtained Chinese cultural relics?

If we follow Zhuang Rui's thinking, then I am afraid that the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the current museums of Britain, France, Germany, Tsarist Russia, the United States, Japan, Italy, and Austria-Hungary (present-day Austria and Hungary) will become empty.

Of course, there are *small countries that do not have Chinese* cultural relics, but they have no conflict of interest with Zhuang Rui, so naturally they will not stand up and speak.

Even the reporter from Egypt didn't speak, after all, the empty talk of making people return things is not convincing at all, Zhuang Rui can block it back with a word, Egypt has lost more antiques in the British and American museums, why don't you go and ask for it?

The female reporter's face was flushed by Zhuang Rui's words, but she couldn't refute it, Americans have always used their own eyes to ask others, never to see if their buttocks are clean, this time they were completely humiliated by Zhuang Rui.

"Okay, I think this young lady, I am very satisfied with Mr. Zhuang's reply, you can go back and talk to the government first, if you can follow what Mr. Zhuang said, we will definitely let you know the news that we have returned the gold mask to the Egyptian government as soon as possible*......"

Although Huang Fuyun has worked in the United States for many years, he still dismisses the United States in his bones, and after being quiet in the venue for a while, he stepped on the very injured female reporter again.

"This gentleman, could you please ask a question............" Huang Fuyun ordered another reporter.

"I am a correspondent of the British "Times", and I would like to ask Mr. Zhuang, in the early fourteenth century, it was our combined fleet of Britain and Germany that captured the pirate king Klaus, that is to say, Claus's stolen goods should have been distributed by Britain and Germany, I don't know what Mr. Zhuang thinks about this issue*......"

The tall and thin reporter with glasses was even more ruthless, and he directly began to question the ownership of these treasures.

"Damn, can't you ask some questions from China's records?"

Zhuang Rui glanced at Huang Fuyun sideways, he was very dissatisfied with these two questions, didn't he see his buddies in the limelight and obviously come to pick on them?

But the question still has to be answered, Zhuang Rui thought for a while, and said: "I think that if Klaus is still alive in England, I will definitely return this treasure to you......"

Zhuang Rui's words caused laughter, he was mocking this reporter, more than 600 years have passed, even if Klaus was not caught by Yingde, and now it has long been turned into dust, his treasure will still fall into the hands of future generations, and it has a fart relationship with Britain?

Zhuang Rui coughed twice, waited for the silence below, and then continued: "The pattern of the world we are in now, to put it mildly, was changed by pirates.

In the early days, the people who opened up the new 6 places were actually pirates, and the motive for these actions was nothing more than to divide the profits and obtain wealth, which was certainly the progress of civilization, but also accompanied by dirty and cruel killing and plundering......

Because piracy is a private act, and it is not like some countries aggressively plundering the wealth of other countries, I personally believe that the legacy of piracy belongs to the world civilization!

In my museum, there will be a pirate pavilion, and these pirate treasures belonging to the world's civilization will be displayed in it, so that the people of the world can understand the history of piracy and condemn those countries and behaviors that plunder the wealth of other countries through the sea!"

Zhuang Rui This refers to Sang scolding Huai, and even scolding early colonial countries such as Spain, Portugal, and Britain.

The behavior of these countries at that time was no different from piracy, and the indigenous people of many African countries were killed by them, and the wanton wealth was emptied by them, these are ironclad facts, which are undeniable!

Zhuang Rui's words made the venue silent, but then the applause rang out, on this earth, there are too few people who have not been invaded by colonial countries, and Zhuang Rui's words can be regarded as very happy.

Only reporters from colonial countries such as Britain and Spain looked embarrassed and unable to refute at the moment, because in those days, many pirates were even impersonated by the armies of these countries.

"Mr. Zhuang, I am the executive director of the World Adventurers Association, could you please explain in detail the process of obtaining this batch of pirate treasures?

Seeing Zhuang Rui's sharp teeth, the reporter did not dwell on the issue of treasure ownership anymore.

"No problem, I can publish the coordinates of the desert island where the treasure of Buclaus is hidden.

And I personally suspect that Klaus's treasure is not only these, I also have two treasure maps in my hand, which can also be auctioned publicly!"

Zhuang Rui's words stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, making the venue that had just come down its nose boil again.
