"Do you want Peng Fei to go to the Frey family to cause trouble?"

Zhuang Rui suddenly had this idea in his mind, but then he interrupted it, no matter how great Peng Fei's skills are, he is not 007, and if he really causes big trouble, I am afraid that it will cause international disputes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huangfu Yun didn't know what Zhuang Rui was paying attention to in his heart, and when he saw Zhuang Rui pondering, he immediately said: "Brother Zhuang, in fact, these things are still ...... those people in the country are used to."

In fact, the biggest culprit of the loss of Chinese cultural relics is the Chinese themselves, and in China, there are no less than 50 rich people, whose collection purchase funds exceed hundreds of millions of yuan, and the main source of the collection is overseas auction houses.

Huang Fuyun once made a statistic that more than 85% of the collections bought by these wealthy people from foreign auction houses are official kiln porcelain of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and mainly Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain.

According to Huang Fuyun's words, these Yuan, Ming and Qing official kiln porcelains that cost millions or tens of millions of yuan are just plates hyped up by international auction houses in recent years, and they are not "national treasure" cultural relics at all.

Zhuang Rui nodded, and said: "I know this, some bronzes and national treasure-level cultural relics are not allowed to be auctioned in China, and many people smuggle them abroad, in fact, most of the people who buy them are still some rich people in China, and some people simply buy objects directly from those tomb robbers......

"Hey, how do you know so clearly?" asked Huang Fuyun a little strangely.

"Nonsense, have you forgotten that I'm going to be a graduate student of Professor Meng soon......"

Zhuang Rui glanced at Huangfuyun angrily, buddy almost gave away his life because of those tomb robbers, can you not know?

When Zhuang Rui came into contact with Professor Meng later, he had heard Professor Meng talk about the problems faced by the antique industry many times, and it was also a problem that the archaeological community had to face, that is, the problem of "three thieves" could not be solved.

The so-called "three thieves" refer to the three types of people who rob tombs, steal and steal cultural relics, plus smugglers, stolen goods, and counterfeiters, and there are nearly one million people in the industrial chain.

From the 80s of the last century to the present more than 20 years, most of the cultural relics lost in China come from ancient tombs, cellars and underwater, and the historical value is extremely high.

Zhuang Rui heard Uncle De mention that Uncle De knew a big businessman in Zhejiang, and in his private museum, there were more than 3,000 pieces of ancient porcelain, ancient bronzes and jade, almost all of which were unearthed artifacts, and most of these artifacts were auctioned back from abroad.

Some of these wealthy people in China are lacking in their cultural heritage, some of them are Shanxi coal bosses and the earliest group of old Beijing masters, and many of them even started by selling tea and eggs in stalls.

From an entrepreneurial point of view, they are commendable, but entering the field of collecting is to stir up the muddy waters even more muddy.

These people just regard art as an investment, which is a new form of investment, which is the same as speculating in stocks and real estate. For example, the price of things in the official kilns of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties is now speculated, especially the Yuan blue and white flowers, which are said to be only 300 pieces in existence, and the price is rare and expensive, and the price has gone up at once.

However, the claim that 300 pieces of Yuan Qinghua have survived is absurd, and has anyone really studied it? On what basis did they come to this conclusion? According to Professor Meng's analysis, this is actually concocted by Western capital, auction companies, and blind Chinese theorists.

Only Professor Meng knows that the number of Yuan Qinghua in the homes of some big businessmen in China has exceeded 300 pieces, of course, there may be many fakes in it, but it is undeniable that the number of 300 pieces given abroad is really so accurate?

In addition, since the 90s of the last century, there have been auctions of the Qianlong Imperial Seal in international auctions, and the media reports have sold dozens of them, but according to Professor Meng's extremely professional and accurate research, the Qianlong Imperial Seal does not exceed 10 pieces.

"Forget it, we can't control these things, wait until the fuck has a chance to rob Japan, the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy and Austria in the future, let's talk about it......"

Thinking of these things, Zhuang Rui felt bored in his heart, these foreign auction houses used the patriotic heart of the Chinese to constantly appear some so-called national treasures, just to let the Chinese people spend a lot of money to buy back, from the commercial interests of the blameless, but greatly hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

"Okay, I'll apply for a license plate for you at the auction the day after tomorrow, if you want to go, you can go and see it, as long as you don't make a move, I'll contact buyers from China in the next two days, I hope to convince them......"

Huang Fuyun was also very helpless, but this time he successfully used the two katanas he obtained from China as the lot after this special auction.

The appraiser of the auction house came to the conclusion that it was a fifteenth-century Japanese katana, and the starting price of the two together was $100,000.

Now the collectors in the international sword market are basically European, American and Japanese, and Huang Fuyun has always been happy in his heart to be able to use "Made in China" to delight these grandchildren.

Now the auction market is full of a large number of fakes, even if they are identified by the buyer, it doesn't matter what happens to Huang Fuyun, after all, it has been appraised by the auction house, anyway, whoever buys it is unlucky.

"Zhuang Rui, don't be angry, it doesn't matter what you do, when you have money in the future, let's buy all these things......"

Qin Xuanbing saw that after leaving Huangfuyun, Zhuang Rui was still a little sullen, so she couldn't help hugging Zhuang Rui and comforting her.

"It's not that I'm angry, it's just a panic in my heart, forget it, don't talk about these things, Peng Fei and they are almost here, let's have a meal together in the evening, and go out tomorrow to play, you have to be a good guide......"

Zhuang Rui shook his head, and expelled all the unhappy things in his mind, the first time he accompanied Qin Xuanbing to a foreign country, just have a good time, there is no need to affect his emotions because of the things that the old lady of the prodigal family caused more than a hundred years ago.

As soon as Zhuang Rui's words fell, there was a knock on the door outside, Zhuang Rui opened the door and saw that it was Peng Fei and a few people, Zhuang Rui waved his hand and said: "Go, the boss is in a bad mood today, please have a big meal!"

This has always been a good mood to entertain, Zhuang Rui's habit is very quirky, and several people outside the door are looking at each other.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's go, you are free to move around tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you will go to London the day after tomorrow......"

Zhuang Rui appeased the white lion who came up, drove it back to the room, closed the door, changed the status of the room to Do Not Disturb, don't go out for a meal by yourself, tomorrow the Paris newspaper will publish the news that the lion appeared in the five-star hotel.

This French meal was eaten at Zhuang Rui's hotel, and it was not cheap, with appetizers such as smoked silver carp, oysters or bread, followed by a soup made from a variety of ingredients, followed by fish, jelly, interdish, barbecue, salad and dessert.

Zhuang Rui, the legendary golden snail and foie gras, also ate it, but it didn't feel as delicious as the mutton skewers on Wangfujing Street in Beijing at night.

However, this thing is still the most expensive, after eating, as soon as the bill was settled, it cost Zhuang Rui more than 1,600 euros, Zhuang Rui simply swiped the card of 2,000 euros, paid the tip with the euros he carried, and packed some food to bring to the white lion.

The next day, the weather in Paris cleared, Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing left the hotel early in the morning and went to the Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889 and is located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France.

Standing under the base of the tower, looking up at the tower as tall as the sky, people seem so small, Zhuang Rui had seen the model of the Eiffel Tower in Shenzhen Window of the World before, and there was no feeling at that time, but at this moment, in the face of this miraculous building, Zhuang Rui can only sigh at the strength and imagination of human beings.

On the God of War Square in front of the iron tower, there are green spaces and countless fountains, couples from all over the world are playing here, Qin Xuanbing also took off her usual cold appearance, and pulled Zhuang Rui to take pictures constantly.

It's just that Zhuang Rui shook his head and watched it for a long time, and he didn't see any domestic newspapers saying that there was an open-air celestial behavior that was immoral, so it was probably because the weather was too cold, right?

Qin Xuanbing was very familiar with the landscape of Paris, and after leaving from the Champ de Mars, she took Zhuang Rui to Notre Dame Cathedral.

This poetic Gothic church written by Victor Hugo is one of the most glorious buildings in history, and the carvings and paintings of the altar, cloister, doors and windows, as well as a large number of art treasures from the 13th ~ 17th centuries in the hall are famous all over the world.

Walking into the church, the 33-meter-wide dome and the 24-meter-high long pillars that lead directly to the roof brought Zhuang Rui a great shock, and the interior of the church was extremely simple, rigorous and solemn, with almost no decoration.

The vault tens of meters high is faintly shimmering in the dim light, and with religious reverie, it seems that heaven is above.

The third and topmost floor of Notre-Dame Cathedral is Hugo's bell tower, which overlooks the picturesque scenery of Paris and the Seine, and the sightseeing boats carry tourists along the Seine.

It is said that Hugo once found a Greek word carved into the wall in the dark corner of the north bell tower of Notre-Dame Cathedral: fate. This word inspired him, and Notre Dame de Paris, a work as monumental as this church, was born.
