Tommy ignored the red wine in front of him, raised his head to look at Collingpu, and said, "If this jade dragon is sold as an antique, it won't sell for much money, but with my years of experience, I'm sure this thing must have been thousands of years ago, judging from some of its characteristics, it is different from all the things in the ruins of civilization that have been found in China, I say this, I don't know if Sir Collimpu do you understand what I mean?"

"It's just a guess, the photos are too unclear to see the details. ”

Collingpu's pupils shrank, and the photo of the jade dragon had the same guess in his heart, but he didn't want to say it, he had another idea in his heart, and at this time Tommy said it for this sake, and it was not good to deny it.

"Sir Collimpu, we are all connoisseurs, and it is true that the details are not clear in this picture, but it is not difficult to make the judgment which I have just said. ”

Tommy didn't let go, "I also have an important piece of information. ”

Collimpu's brow furrowed, Tommy was threatening himself.

"Tommy, you know that I have a little bit to do with the British Empire Museum, and I can find the information you have in my hands without much effort, the picture or the person who has the jade dragon. ”

Tommy nodded, "Sir Collimpu, you're right, the picture of the Jade Dragon is easy to get your hands on, and the person who owns the Jade Dragon can tell you right now, his name is Jiang Hua, and he is the owner of an antique shop called Bao Rong Zhai on Dongcheng Street, you can go to him at any time, but I can guarantee that you will not be able to get any information from his mouth, and even if you go, even the Jade Dragon will not be able to see it." ”

Colimp was stunned, he didn't expect Tommy to say such a thing.

"Tommy, you know I'm not a poor bastard...... There is nothing in this world that money can't solve. ”

Tommy shook his head and said with great certainty, "In Huaxia, some people are willing to do anything for money, but some people don't care about even how much money they have. ”

"What do you mean, what is this Jianghua's name, such a person?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. ”

Tommy stretched out his hand and took a few photos of the jade dragon on the table, "When I went to Baorongzhai, I wanted to buy the jade dragon, Jiang Hua said that it had been sold to others, but I could see that it was just an excuse, I have already attracted his attention, which is why you can't get any news when you go to Baorongzhai again." ”

Colimp didn't answer immediately, the smoke from his mouth obscured his face, and the light in the study was dim, and he couldn't see the expression on his face at all.

Tommy shook his wine glass lightly and didn't say anything more, everything he had to say had already been said, and it was up to Colimp to decide.

The study was silent, and there was no sound at all.

"Okay. ”

Colimp finally spoke, "Tell me about your plans. ”

Tommy had a smile on his face.

"You pay for it, I'm in charge of assembling an archaeological team, I want a name, things belong to you, of course, there must be something there in the British Empire Museum, otherwise I can't give an account." ”

Colimp's heart moved, and the discovery of such a fame as a site of human civilization had no meaning at all, but would put him in endless trouble - China was no longer the China of more than a hundred years ago, the national strength was strong, and it was necessary to do things very clean when peeking at the cultural relics of such a country, and it would be better for Tommy to be the first bird.

Money?

Not a problem at all for the family.

"Tommy. ”

Colimp, "Nice to work with. ”

"Happy working together!"

Tommy raised his glass and touched Colimp lightly, believing that he would be able to convince Collimp before he arrived.

"I have to hurry up so that there are no surprises, the most important thing now is that I have to set up an expedition team right away, and the other thing is to rent equipment, at the moment I need £1 million, this is just the beginning, I estimate that all the costs will be around £5 million. ”

"Give me the bank account number, and the money will be given to you later. ”

Colimp didn't shirk it, and immediately agreed.

"Sir Collimpu, you won't need much in the vault, and new collectibles will appear in your family's treasury. ”

Tommy drank the wine from his glass, copied his bank account number to Colimp and left, time was tight, and he had to find someone to form an expedition immediately.

……

At night, it was already late, and Dongcheng Street at one o'clock in the morning was so quiet that only rats could hear it running by.

Jiang Hua got out of the taxi and walked slowly towards Bao Rong Zhai - after leaving Ninghua University, Jiang Hua did not go home, and decided to go back to the store to spend the night.

The matter of Hongshan Yulong has been handed over to Xia Yun to deal with, he is just an ordinary antique shop owner, such a thing can't help much, there is no need to think too much.

After entering Baorong Zhai, Jiang Hua locked the door after turning on the light, took out the quilt from the cabinet and lay on the sofa, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he simply got up.

After filling the water, Jiang Hua put the white iron kettle on the stove, threw a few olive core carbons into the stove, and then waited for the water to boil.

was a little bored, Jiang Hua simply opened the safe and took out the "Thirteen Treks of Lanting Ti".

"I really didn't expect this thing to be in my hands one day, is this why I came to this world?"

Under the snow-white light, Jiang Hua looked at the familiar handwriting and muttered to himself.

It's been almost half a year since I crossed over, and after the initial confusion, I slowly got used to a new life - a small owner of an antique shop, drinking tea every day, occasionally shopping for antiques and selling some antiques, this life is very good.

But things are not so simple, I originally thought that there was no difference between this world and the world before the crossing, but first the Red Mountain Jade Dragon, and then the "Thirteen Treks of the Lanting Post" - the culture of the Red Mountain is still buried in the soil, and the "Thirteen Treks of the Lanting Post" is now in his hands, which is completely different from the history in his memory, and the Chinese treasures collected in the museums of various countries in the previous life are still lost.

In the original world, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the once powerful Chinese Empire declined rapidly, and a large number of antique cultural relics were lost overseas in the midst of war and social unrest. The Old Summer Palace and the capital in 1860, the northwest region from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, and the oracle bones of Yinxu in 1899...... A large number of cultural relics were plundered, and most of them were collected in museums around the world, so large that the "Huaxia Pavilion" was specially set up in their respective museums.

This kind of history is painful for any Chinese person.

Every time Jiang Hua saw the treasures that should have been placed in the Chinese museums in other countries, his heart was like a knife but he was helpless, and when he was drunk countless times, his confidants all shouted that one day he would snatch back these treasures that belonged to China, and even swore that if he could really do so, it would not be a pity to die.

"Did you hear my oath and give me a chance? You asked me to travel into this world just so that I could save those antiques and buy them all back?"

Jiang Hua raised his head and looked at the fist-sized five-colored Nuwa stone statue on the antique shelf, with a complicated expression in his eyes, he crossed it when he repaired it, if it weren't for the fact that it was the only connection with the original world, Jiang Hua would have smashed it a long time ago, but now it seems that it is destined in the dark.

Because of the black qi on the back of his right hand that he doesn't know what the origin is but can be old, the forged "Great Nirvana Sutra" deceived Takashima Kikujiro and Ono, which means that you can fake more antiques and sell them for money, and then buy those scattered Chinese treasures.

What is this not fate?

The blue and white cloud dragon elephant ear vase, Dong Yuan's "Creek Bank Map", Yan Liben's "Emperor of the Past Dynasties" ...... Jiang Hua closed his eyes, countless porcelain, bronze, jade stone carvings, and classics...... The antique relics he had seen in other museums in his memory swept in front of him one by one, and his body trembled slightly.
