When the president of Sotheby's China asked Zheng Xudong if all these things were auctioned today, everyone looked at the young man nervously.

"I think that except for the fisherman who warned me to think about it again, everything else will be auctioned. Zheng Xudong said.

"No, it can't be. At this time, Inoue Makoto said with a red face, "Our Shuzhu Maru Hengji should be returned to our Great Nippon Benzene Empire, and it cannot be auctioned." ”

"You, get out!fuck off!" Zheng Xudong can't stand this old cock anymore, it's not over today, and he can't bear it anymore.

Ou Zhaolun really didn't want to endure this stupid anger, and the secretary JANE went outside and called the security guard in, and the security guard just "pushed" the little old man out very politely.

The old man was "embraced" by the security guards, and he was shouting all kinds of swear words.

"President Kuhn, where did you find such a good thing at the auction house, my mind is full of militaristic thoughts, and I put up with him several times today. If you don't believe me, ask them. Zheng Xudong said to Kuhn.

Everyone else is not very interested in this little Japanese benzene, if you have something to say, you can say it well, and threaten people at every turn, it's okay for people to eat your set, people obviously don't eat your set, and they always talk about militarism. So they all began to fall into the well of Makoto Inoue, in fact, it can't be described as falling into the well, but everyone told Kuhn about the situation just now.

Kuhn said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zheng, we will conduct regular audits of our expert members in the future. I promise it won't happen again. ”

Hearing his words, Zheng Xudong's face began to improve.

"Mr. Zheng, can you give me a few days to get in touch with China and discuss the Declaration of Independence. "The American expert Scardario found that this kid is not in a good temper, but you have to talk well and there is a possibility of negotiation.

"No problem, even if it's auctioned, don't you have to have a display period, at least a month later, and how can such an important thing be displayed for a month, so let's do it, I'll give you time for all the things here today, and it will be auctioned at least three months later, if you have any ideas before, call me, the principle is that the highest bidder wins." I'm clear enough. Seeing that everyone nodded and said: "Today's last antique, the appraisal will be over, the time is not short, and everyone is tired." Sean, help me put together this painting of "Savior of the World". ”

Sean was just about to get his hands on it, Ma Weidu threw over a pair of white gloves, Sean saw that the three experts of the United States, France, and Italy on the opposite side were staring at him, knowing that he would be told to start directly, and looked at Ma Weidu gratefully put on the gloves, and then rolled up the oil painting and put it in a protective cylinder specially for painting, and then put the painting in a metal box.

"Okay, the last big thing is standing behind me, it's so heavy that I won't lift you to the table with more than a ton of weight, so let's look at it in front of you. So saying, he removed the military felt cloth that had covered the Code of Hammurabi.

"You're a thief, a thief of antiquities. As soon as the Code of Hammurabi appeared, the French expert Lerouch immediately stood up and pointed to Zheng Xudong's nose and said.

NOT TO MENTION THE SIX EXPERTS IN THIS, EVEN OU ZHAOLUN, KUHN, SEAN AND SECRETARY JANE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS THE WORLD-FAMOUS CODE ON DISPLAY IN THE LOUVRE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ZHENG XUDONG MEANS, HOW DID HE GET THIS THING HERE.

Although Sean didn't understand why Zheng Xudong did this, his professional ethics told him that he must protect the rights and interests of the client, so he immediately stood up and said to the French expert Lelouch with a cold face: "Mr. Leluch, I ask you to apologize to my client immediately, otherwise I reserve the right to pursue you for slandering my client." ”

Seeing that Le Luxu was about to defend himself, Zheng Xudong said first: "Mr. Le Luxu, why do you say that I am a thief of cultural relics, I need an explanation from you, did you see me stealing, or do you have any evidence?"

"Isn't this clear, this Code of Hammurabi should be on display in the Asian Pavilion of the Louvre at this time, why is it here with you? Lelu said with a red face and a thick neck at this time.

"I won't explain first, and I'm not obligated to explain it to you, you are all experts, I just want to know if this is true or fake?"

"Meets the characteristics of all Hammurabi Codex. Said the American expert Scardario.

"Yes, this should be the code that was unearthed back then. It is carved on a black basalt pillar with a height of 2.25 meters, a circumference of 1.65 meters, and a circumference of 1.90 meters at the bottom, so it is also known as the "stone pillar method". At the top of the pillar is a relief of King Hammurabi standing in front of Shamash, the god of the sun and justice, to symbolize the divine right of kingship and the inviolability of royal power, and at the lower end is a legal inscription in Akkadian cuneiform script, with a total of 3,500 lines and 282 articles, which is now in Paris... The Italian expert Ferrard said playfully, and when he said that he knew that he had talked too much, he quickly closed his mouth and looked at Zheng Xudong and Le Luxu with some embarrassment.

Ma Weidu and Song Yikuan both held the principle of "it doesn't matter, hang high" and only watched, touching up and down, they believed that this was true, so they seized the time to see, touch, missed this time, and wanted to go to the Louvre to let you see it from afar, how could it be like now, so the two of them "touch hard!

Ma Weidu said to Song Lao in Chinese: "Sure enough, there is that kind of thick sense of history! This feeling is very mysterious!"

"yes. There aren't many opportunities, so let's get started. The old man also said thickly.

At this time, even Ou Zhaolun and Kuhn stepped forward to touch them, don't look at them as presidents, people still don't let you touch such antiques casually. "What a rare opportunity!"

SECRETARY JANE ALSO PUT DOWN THE PEN AND NOTEBOOK IN HIS HAND AND STEPPED FORWARD TO "TAKE ADVANTAGE!"

The French expert Le Rousch can now describe his mood in a hurry. All he could do now was to get out of the phone and get in touch with the director of the Louvre in France to verify what was happening here. But it's 3 p.m. Beijing time, which is 15 o'clock. And the capital is 7 hours ahead of the time in Paris, so it is now 8 o'clock in the morning in Paris.

Who could expect the romantic people of Paris, France to go to work at 8 a.m., and that would be a joke.

There was no way to do it, so he had to call the curator in Paris on his own private mobile phone, and the phone rang for a full minute before it was picked up, and looking at Lelusch's appearance, the curator over there was very dissatisfied with his personal call at this time.

Leluch briefly recounted what had happened in the magic capital, and everyone in the room heard the sound on the other side of the phone, which was obviously louder all of a sudden, and then the voice slowly became quieter again, and finally Leluch hung up the curator's phone and walked back to sit on the chair with his head down.

"Mr. Zheng, this should be... We in France ... The relics of the Louvre, I think... Leluch stumbled.

"Before saying all this, Mr. Leluch, I think you owe me a solemn apology. Zheng Xudong stared at him very seriously and said.

After a full minute, Le Luxu whispered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, I was too arbitrary just now, I blamed you, I apologize to you!"

"It's a little quieter, but I'm still young, so I guess I heard it. ”

After Zheng Xudong finished saying that he had heard his apology, Le Luxu's voice became louder, "Mr. Zheng, this is a cultural relic of our Louvre, I think you should return it to us." ”

When Zheng Xudong heard this, he laughed loudly, laughing wildly, and Leluch felt insulted and stood up, pointed at him and said, "What are you laughing at?

"I'm laughing at you so ridiculously, first, you have never admitted that the current Code of Hammurabi in your Louvre is fake, and has been on display for real, and second, since it is on display, you have not issued a notice to recover this artifact because it is lost. Third, lawyer Sean, as far as I know, even if they issue a recourse notice, the recourse period has already passed, right?" Zheng Xudong said.

"Yes, they have no right, no reason to get this artifact back. You can leave it alone. Sean said.

"This is the law that you robber nations have made to prevent lawsuits from countries like ours that have been plundered by you, China. After many years, the artifact can no longer be recovered. How many years have you been in France? And you Italy? And you in the United States? I only know that the Japanese benzene that was bombed out just now was two years old. As long as it is more than two years old, even if it is proven to be stolen, it can be auctioned publicly in Japan. I don't think I've heard of anything more than twenty years of recourse. Am I right? ”

"Yes, boss, you're right. They France no more than ten years. I'm going to go back and check the exact time. Sean said.

"No need, because this is past the recourse period, and besides, they don't have recourse, right?" Zheng Xudong said sarcastically.

Le Luxu was choked by Zheng Xudong's words, only Ma Weidu and Song Yikuan clapped their hands and said in unison: "Well said!"

"But this is what we stole from the Nazis during World War II, and it's our French stuff. Leluch said forcefully.

"If this thing belongs to whoever owns it, the Code of Hammurabi is a cultural relic of the ancient Babylonian kingdom in the Middle East, and geographically it should belong to the current Iran, I think Iran, a tyrant country in the Middle East, will definitely be willing to spend money to buy back the cultural relics of its own country, who let some so-called French explorers dig up their own national cultural relics! What do you say, Mr. Leluch. Seeing his dejected appearance, Zheng Xudong was happy and angry in his heart, these robbers are used to it, and they already think that as long as it is in their own home, it is their own.

Zheng Xudong turned to Sotheby's President of China, Kuhn, and said, "President Kuhn, do you have a branch of your auction house in the Middle East?"

"Yes, we have branches in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, you mean... ”

"I decided, since this Code of Hammurabi, since it is a cultural relic in the Middle East, it should be up to the people of the Middle East to decide whether to buy it back or not, so I decided to exhibit this code in the UAE in the Middle East, and then auction it three months later. Can you call the shots about this?" asked Kuhn.

"Yes, no problem. When I returned, I contacted the Middle East branch and asked them to organize an exhibition, and I think that the people of the Middle East will definitely beat the gongs and drums to welcome back the sacred relics of their country. Kuhn said.
