Ouyang Xiaodan listened to Zhang Tianyuan's words, and obviously became full of confidence, as if he had been promoted from a young actor to an Oscar actress in an instant.

"By the way, Xiao Dan, there is one thing I have to remind you again, after going to the black market that day, you are a buyer, not a policeman, don't do stupid things, otherwise, I will never help with this favor. Zhang Tianyuan felt the need to make things clearer.

This reason is actually very simple, although Zhang Tianyuan is keen to help the police, but he doesn't want people in the black market and people in the industry to know, otherwise he won't be able to go to the black market to buy things in the future, and others will treat him as a person from the police station.

It is precisely because of this that when he discussed with Ouyang Leiting, he put forward this point, he can't arrest people on the spot, and he can't take any action on the spot, otherwise he, a newcomer, will be easily suspected.

Ouyang Thunder agreed very simply, because Ouyang Thunder's goal was not just to catch a few small worms, what he wanted was the behind-the-scenes boss who bought cultural relics and resold them, this person almost monopolized the smuggling of cultural relics in the entire imperial capital, if he didn't catch this guy, it would be too shameless.

As for the small fish and small shrimp, as long as it is not too excessive, it is not his turn to ask the chief of the Imperial City Police Department.

However, Ouyang Leiting agreed simply, which does not mean that Ouyang Xiaodan will definitely agree, so it is necessary for Zhang Tianyuan to reiterate.

"Okay, I know, I will never act without permission, just listen to your arrangement. Ouyang Xiaodan was not afraid of his father, but he had an inexplicable fear of Zhang Tianyuan, Zhang Tianyuan's words. She will always unconsciously carry out orders as such.

"Okay, I'll just remind you. You're busy with you, I'll hang up the phone if there's nothing else to do?"

"Have you read the information I passed to you?"

"Where can it be so fast. I've just finished looking at the yard, and the computer hasn't been turned on yet, so I'll watch it tonight, I'll watch it at night. Zhang Tianyuan dealt with it casually, and then hung up the phone.

The black market will always be a paradise for adventurers.

In fact, Zhang Tianyuan felt that he was doing a good deed by going to that place, because it could prevent cultural relics from flowing abroad through the black market.

At present, the crime of tomb robbery has the characteristics of collectivization and intelligence. Theft, transportation, negotiation, and sales form a chain, even if it is a kind of extra-large cultural relics that are more than two meters high and weigh dozens of tons. It can also flow to the international market within three days. Many industry insiders also revealed that "the total number of cultural relics recovered from abroad for decades cannot keep up with the loss of a few days".

Since the Opium War in 1840, China's cultural relics have experienced four large-scale losses: the late Qing Dynasty from 1860 to 1900, the "Second World War" to the founding of the People's Republic of China, the early "special era", and the late 80s of the 20th century to the present. Among them, the most severe loss of cultural relics is not before the liberation of the country, but in the last 30 years since the reform and opening up.

According to customs statistics in recent years, up to now, about 20 million pieces of cultural relics have been lost overseas in China. In the antique market of the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, South Korea and other places, China's antiques occupy a large proportion. Museums in more than 50 countries around the world have collected cultural relics from our country. There are more than 10 million pieces, and the number of cultural relics in the hands of private collectors is even greater. As the American antiques dealer said, "The New York market is full of our country's tomb goods and works of art. People are frantically smuggling antiquities from our country".

There are many people who think that those so-called black market bosses will have some national righteousness and will not sell things abroad, but that is actually wishful thinking.

Black market bosses only have money in their eyes. They don't care whether it's a foreigner or a domestic person who buys something, as long as they can make money. They can even sell their own mother.

The main reason for the rampant black market trading in China and the loss of cultural relics is the interests involved. The flow of cultural relics is closely related to the price of cultural relics, and cultural relics cannot be auctioned in China. Sold at a high price abroad. A large number of cultural relics from before the Song Dynasty were forbidden to enter the domestic auction market, such as ancient jade, bronzes, Han figurines, and Tang Sancai. In terms of quality, it is also incomparable to the formal exchange of domestic cultural relics.

Why did Zhang Tianyuan go to the black market? Isn't it because there are these good things there? On the surface, there is no way to auction them, and the state does not allow them, so the only way is to go to the black market.

However, on the black market, the price of cultural relics before the Song Dynasty was relatively low, far from being able to compare with the overall price of cultural relics in the Qing Dynasty, and the price of cultural relics traded by the people was lower. The smuggled cultural relics can be sold abroad, and the transaction prices are high, which plays a role in fueling the theft and loss of domestic cultural relics. As Mr. Peng, the head of the preparatory group office of the Imperial Capital Cultural Property Exchange, summed it up, "the Cultural Relics Protection Law simply defines that cultural relics are state-owned, treasure holders have no sense of security, and cultural relics have become a hot potato;

Our country is unwilling to face up to this matter, and always says that everything in the ground belongs to the state, but the problem lies in the fact that people dig it up, so why should they give it to the state if they can't get a penny? In this materialistic world, if there is no money, don't talk about anything.

Because of this, these people would rather take risks and choose to put things on the black market to sell, even if they are caught, they will admit it, but if nothing happens, then they can definitely make a lot of money.

The difference in prices between domestic and foreign countries can also be said to be the main culprit that directly leads to the phenomenon of tomb robbery, theft, theft and the smuggling of cultural relics in China.

At present, China's cultural relics trade has formed a black market transaction of cultural relics that integrates tomb robbery, sale of stolen goods, smuggling, and sales. The commercialization of the cultural relics market is too strong, forming the inverted phenomenon of "market demand determines the value of cultural relics", "now many people are speculating on antiques, but basically trying to figure out guò antiques to make money". Many of the problems in the antique market and the cultural relics market are closely related to the fact that commercialization is too strong, and the recognition and appreciation of the cultural relics themselves are neglected.

The one-sided pursuit of the profit and economic value of cultural relics is the biggest driving force for the transaction of antiques in China, and it is also an important reason for the loss of a large number of cultural relics in China. It has been shown that China's cultural relics are still flowing abroad. As Wu Shu pointed out in the frontispiece of his book Who Is Auctioning China?, "The biggest culprit of the loss of cultural relics in China is the Chinese people themselves, and the main cause of the loss of cultural relics in China is no longer caused by poverty." It's the lack of spirit on the part of the Chinese people."

Zhang Tianyuan actually didn't agree with Wu Shu's words, in the end. The fundamental reason why there is a large number of cultural relics lost is that there are still many people who need money.

However, this has little to do with Zhang Tianyuan, and now Zhang Tianyuan no longer values the material value of antique cultural relics, but also the spiritual value.

So there are some things that are worthless in the hands of those second-class antique dealers, and they are worthless in their eyes, but in his opinion, they can be used as good things for collection, which is one of the biggest reasons for him to go to the black market.

He has passed the stage of pursuing a material life. Although he is still short of money, he can't look down on the money from buying and selling cultural relics, and what he is pursuing more now is the enjoyment of spiritual life.

Others say that the cultural relics before the Song Dynasty are actually not valuable on the black market, mainly because a large number of things are not allowed to be bought and sold in China, and there are indeed many cultural relics that are not worth collecting according to the eyes of antique collectors, but they have great archaeological value.

For example, in the Mausoleum Museum of Qin Shi Huang, there are some rusty iron tools, which are of great archaeological value. But you don't have an antique collector who wants to buy it, and even if you do, it won't cost you a lot of money, because it's not worth much.

Another reason is that this kind of thing is too difficult to preserve. If you don't have the money, don't buy it, it's a waste to buy it.

Zhang Tianyuan happened to have a little money. So you can do what you want to do with peace of mind.

After hanging up Ouyang Xiaodan's phone, Zhang Tianyuan still remembered the black market. According to his guess, this time it was a black market auction. It is estimated that there will be a lot of worthless, but very valuable things appear, after all, most of the tombs stolen this time are from the Tang Dynasty, as well as the Sanxingdui civilization, these are all cultural relics before the Song Dynasty, and many people dare not collect them even if they want to.

Of course, the exceptions are those who try to take these things out of the country to sell.

However, Zhang Tianyuan is really not very clear about the smuggling of cultural relics, he doesn't know what magical powers these people have, and they can actually deceive the customs and take these cultural relics out of the country.

Because he couldn't figure it out, he wanted to figure it out.

When he went to Yuquan Mountain, he asked Nie Qinglan to drive, and he dialed Dong Xueshu's phone.

Dong Lao has been abroad before and knows these things very well, so if you ask him, you should be able to know the answer.

After listening to Zhang Tianyuan's question, Dong Xueshu also sighed.

From the other end of the phone, you can hear the obvious sigh: "The old man also had the idea of smuggling cultural relics before, and he was really poor and crazy at that time, so he asked some operators of the antique city what way to bring these things out of the country, and many shopkeepers said that it is not difficult to bring these things out of the country, 'If the things are not big, you can put these things in the suitcase, or put them in the backpack you carry'." Some people even said, 'If you have a familiar ambassador to China, you can entrust them to take them out, and they can carry these things in small quantities.' ”

"It's okay!" Zhang Tianyuan was really shocked, using the ambassador to smuggle cultural relics, this kind of idea can be thought of, these people are too powerful.

Dong Xueshu continued: "In addition, these people also told the old man that cultural relics can also be mixed with things that are nominally 'handicrafts', scattered and transported out of the country. The particularity and professionalism of the cultural relics themselves also make it easy for them to escape the inspection of the customs. If you are asked by customs, just say that these things are handicrafts. The store can issue you an invoice, which indicates that it is a handicraft, and the customs cannot check it. Many shopkeepers said that as long as there is an accurate address, "we will send it directly through Guò International Logistics, and you don't need to intervene at all, although the time will be a little long, but it is very convenient, and it will not bear any risk." ”

"It's that simple? These people can't be talking nonsense, right?" Zhang Tianyuan couldn't believe it, he thought that the smuggling of cultural relics would be a very dangerous thing, but when he heard Dong Xueshu say this, how did it feel like a very simple thing at all.

Dong Xueshu sighed and said: "Although it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of these methods said by these operators, at least from their experience, it is not difficult to bring these ancient cultural relics out of the country, and 'modern handicrafts' are the best cover."
