682. Gone Away (1/5)

As Li Du saw by turning back time, the origin of these five Olympic rings is extraordinary. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Originally, the people of the sports association were still scoffing at their discovery, but it was only their mission, and they had to come to identify this so-called 'important discovery about the Olympic Games'.

When they arrived, they were immediately surprised when they saw these Olympic rings, and their attitudes were corrected.

The white man who supported Li Du was named Stanton, and Hans's eyes lit up when he heard his words, and he asked, "Stanton, sir, what are these five rings?"

Stanton rubbed the openwork relief on one of the rings and said, "You see, there are words 1996, 100 and Atlanta on it, so they are self-evident, they belong to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics." ā€

"Look at the torch statue at the top of the ring, the ordinary Olympic ring does not have this statue, only the five rings used for important occasions such as the opening and closing ceremonies have this thing. ā€

"I'm guessing they're the five Olympic rings that were lost in 2000, but it's easy to pinpoint them, they're made of polished and matte aluminium alloy, and they're covered with a layer of black ceramic and coated with luminous material for strength. ā€

Hans was surprised, and said, "How big are they?"

Stanton nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, looking at their appearance, they are the set of Olympic rings that were lost in our National Olympic Museum." ā€

It is not difficult to determine the identity of these rings, they have a luminescent coating on the outside, so that they can still shine at night and be displayed to visitors, which is impossible for a normal Olympic ring to take the trouble to paint.

The five rings were moved to the shore by a crane, and Oo and Godzilla set up a tent on the shore, and after closing the tent, they made a simple dark room, and then moved the Olympic rings inside.

Entering the dark tent, the five Olympic rings emitted a misty glow, corresponding to the exterior colors, showing five colors like red, green, blue, yellow, and black like in the sun.

"It's beautiful. A woman like Rose couldn't help but sigh.

"Now that you've identified them, these glow-in-the-dark coatings are not ordinary, you guys, they're made from nanomolecular-scale synthetic resins, chromium chloride emulsions, energy storage luminescent materials and other substances," Stanton said. ā€

"Not only that, but the luminous layer is coated with a layer of titanium dioxide-based photocatalyst that works continuously under light intensity, oxidizing and decomposing organic dirt, thus making the surface of the luminous coating clean. ā€

Listening to his introduction to the Olympic ring, Hans excitedly said: "It's amazing, we have managed to get such a treasure by chance." ā€

He squeezed his eyes at Li Du and laughed, "Li, your observation is really amazing, how did you find them?"

"A blessing in disguise, remember when I was photographed by a fish? I dived a little deeper and saw them, and they actually shine at the bottom of the river," Li Du said. ā€

Listening to the exchange between the two, Stanton coughed and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Fox, congratulations on finding the precious collection of the Olympic Museum that has been lost for more than ten years, what are you going to do with it?"

According to U.S. law, non-important state-owned and military items belong to whoever finds them after they are lost, and the policy here is to find and own, even if a box of gold is found, it belongs to the discoverer.

Hans said: "Open the skylight and speak brightly, Mr. Stanton, I am a treasure hunter, and the purpose of finding these things is to sell them for money, so is your sports association interested?"

It was time to negotiate the price, and Stanton understood what he meant, but smiled helplessly.

"You know, Mr. Fox, our sports association is a private organization, we don't have much money, so we ......," he said.

He didn't say anything more, just spread his hands and continued to make a helpless look, the meaning was very clear: we are very interested in these Olympic rings, but we don't have the money to buy them.

What Stanton said was the truth, that the sports association to which he belonged had nothing to do with the U.S. federal government, it was just a private private organization that did not take a penny of taxpayers' money from the federal government.

Not only do sports associations have nothing to do with the government, but the Olympic Committee, which runs the participation of U.S. national team athletes in the Olympics, has no relationship with the U.S. government, and is also a private organization.

Under the Amateur Sports Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1978, sports associations and the Olympic Committee are non-profit organizations that are funded by individuals, groups, corporations, and charitable sponsorships, and are funded by royalties from television rights to the Olympics and related events, online store sales, and licensed processing and sale of U.S. Olympic products.

Listening to Stanton's words, Hans also showed a helpless expression, and spread his hands like him: "Sorry, man, we spent a lot of money to get them out of the water. ā€

"Therefore, we can't donate to you for free, you still have people to donate, we don't. Working like this at a loss of money, we won't be able to support it for long before we go bankrupt. ā€

Stanton showed an expression of understanding and said: "It's better to be like this, we are responsible for the salvage and transportation costs, and we will not let you work in vain, and each Olympic ring will give you a thank you fee of 10,000 yuan." ā€

Hans looked at Li Du, who made a 'you decide' gesture.

So, he said, "20,000 yuan, Mr. Stanton, give us a total of 100,000 yuan, and then these Olympic rings can be returned to the Olympic Museum." ā€

Stanton motioned for them to wait, then made a phone call.

After making the call, he stretched out his hand and smiled: "Thank you, thank you, my boss said that this price is acceptable, after all, the cost of this set of Olympic rings is millions of dollars." ā€

Ordinary luminous materials are radioactive, and in order to protect tourists, these Olympic rings are made of the most advanced environmental materials of the time, and the cost is quite high.

The two sides shook hands amicably, and Stanton contacted the sports association's finance office, and soon, a pre-tax sum of 100,000 yuan was transferred to Hans's bank card.

At this point, there is no matter of Li Du and the others here, and the transportation of the Olympic Ring will be handled by Stanton, and they can pack up their things and leave.

Fawkes and the thrift scavengers in town were even more confused when they saw that Hans had made a hundred thousand dollars.

These people have been in the town for an unknown number of years, often going to the river bay to fish or boating, but they have never found these Olympic rings, and Li Du and the others only came to find out after two or three days, which brought them great frustration.

Looking at these treasure pickers with envious and hateful expressions on their faces, Li Du said: "Look, I don't need to do business with you, I don't need to trade with anyone, I can take away the most valuable things here." ā€

After saying this, without waiting for Fox and the others to answer, he got into the pickup truck, and Da Ao started the car and drove away.
