Chapter 515: The Wronged Boss
The purpose of Professor Han's business trip with the two of them this time was to bring back the stolen cultural relics from the Municipal Museum.
As for the leave that needs to be taken on a business trip, Chu Ning and Lu Jiafan don't need to worry about it at all, the school will take the initiative to help them get it.
Facing what Professor Han said, Lu Jiafan couldn't hide his excitement, but Chu Ning was a little speechless.
It's rare that her father pushed the invitation from the museum, but I didn't expect Professor Han to step on it again and bring her with him!
She knew that Professor Han was dedicated to the public and couldn't bear to let so many cultural streams be left behind, so she took this errand.
However, depending on the style of the municipal museum, if the museum does not remediate it vigorously, even if they bring back the stolen cultural relics by then, they will definitely be quietly stolen in the end.
And so on and on, and there is no end?
Otherwise, the city museum is not really unavailable, why did it find Professor Han's head?
Professor Han didn't notice Chu Ning's slackness, and said excitedly: "The unearthed cultural relics are the wealth left by history to the Chinese people, we must not let these cultural relics fall into private hands, we must bring them back to the museum!"
Lu Jiafan nodded vigorously, obviously agreeing with Professor Han's words.
Chu Ning sensed something and asked, "Professor, do you already know the whereabouts of the stolen cultural relics?"
Professor Han was stunned, and then laughed: "You girl, you are really smart enough, you can even see this!, but how did you guess this?"
Chu Ning was stunned, but Lu Jiafan looked inexplicable.
"If you didn't already know the whereabouts of the stolen cultural relics, how could you have informed us to go directly to the capital?" Chu Ning said with a smile.
Lu Jiafan also reacted immediately, his face full of surprise.
Professor Han nodded with satisfaction: "You're right, I do know the whereabouts of the stolen cultural relics, and this was told to me by an acquaintance in the capital." ”
It turned out that the stolen cultural relics of the Municipal Museum were not smuggled out of the country, but were sold in China.
The next home that sells the stolen goods is in the capital.
What is even more surprising is that the people who bought these stolen cultural relics did not know that they were buying cultural relics, but only thought they were ordinary antiques, and entrusted the auction house in Beijing to conduct the auction.
The person who buys the stolen artifacts is not a pure collector in the first place, he is more or less a second-hand dealer, buying antiques at low prices and then selling them at high prices, making the difference.
He bought this batch of antiques in a package, and the other party looked like he was in a hurry to get rid of it and ask for money, and he also took this opportunity to lower the price, and almost got this batch of antiques at four percent of the market price.
Of course, he saw that there might be a problem with the origin of these antiques, but there were so many antiques in China, and there were not a few duplicate styles. With his approach, it is not a problem at all to launder these antiques and sell them at a high price.
In fact, he did exactly that.
It's just that the problem with the exhibition activities of the Hanzhou Museum is too big, and the expert masters in Hanzhou are very angry and attach importance to this matter, and privately inquire about the whereabouts of these stolen cultural relics, and soon find out the capital.
The person who bought the antiques was also smart, and did not send all the cultural relics to the auction house for auction at once, and only took out three pieces for the first time, or three antiques of different classifications.
It's a pity that before this auction started, it bumped into the fermentation of the Hanzhou City Museum.
The expert master in the world carefully checked and soon found these three antiques.
Dean Xuan of Jingcheng University has personally negotiated with the other party, and has also determined that all the stolen cultural relics should be in his hands. But the other party was very cunning, not only did not admit that the antiques in his hands were cultural relics, but also sued the auction house he entrusted for breach of contract, leaked the information of the antiques he entrusted to auction, and demanded that the auction house compensate him for his losses.
The auction house he commissioned was the auction house where Guvi worked.
The strangeness of these three antiques was discovered by Gu Wei, and he also informed his master.
Now that such a thing has happened, coupled with the failure of Gu Wei to acquire a six-party set of bottles in Hanzhou, and Ding Bo has been tricked into receiving a batch of fakes, the auction house is very dissatisfied with Gu Wei, so Gu Wei is not good to meddle in this matter again, so he has to avoid suspicion.
Chu Ning understood.
It turns out that the "acquaintance in the capital" that Professor Han said is Dean Xuan!
Thinking about the whereabouts of the stolen cultural relics, Professor Han should have gotten the news first, and then notified the Municipal Museum. Who knew that the Municipal Museum simply entrusted this matter to Professor Han and asked Professor Han to bring back the stolen cultural relics.
The idea of the city museum is too shrewd!
Listening to Professor Han's explanation, it is clear that this batch of stolen cultural relics is obviously not so easy to bring back. And the character who can't even be taken down by Dean Xuan, the other party must have a lot of background, how can Professor Han be able to convince him?
If they go to the capital this time, it would be good if they could really bring back the stolen cultural relics. If you can't bring it back, can the Municipal Museum not have a fight with Professor Han?
Her father's contribution to the museum is the best example.
However, looking at Professor Han's excitement now, Chu Ning knew that he would definitely not be able to persuade Professor Han.
Besides, Professor Han has already promised the Municipal Museum. If he suddenly regrets it now, Professor Han will also have an unpleasant quarrel with the Municipal Museum, and even make Professor Han lose his reputation.
No, they can only make this trip.
Chu Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Professor, will all the expenses of our trip to the capital be reimbursed by the Municipal Museum?"
Professor Han didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Of course. We're out of tolerance, and of course the cost can be reimbursed. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Professor Han was already laughing.
He also thought that Chu Ning was worried about whether to pay for herself, and felt that the young girl was still quite good at living, and even noticed this little detail.
As soon as Chu Ning looked at Professor Han's appearance, she knew that Professor Han didn't understand the true meaning of her words.
Chu Ning had to pick out clearly: "If it costs money to recover the stolen antiques this time, and the money spent is not a small amount, will the city museum also reimburse it?"
Previously, in order to deal with the batch of stolen cultural relics in the hands of Maas, the city museum had allocated a large amount of money. Although ninety percent of them were donated by the municipal government to major businesses in Hanzhou, the city museum did not have any money-making projects, and it almost wiped out its own funds that time.
Now this kind of thing is happening again, and the city museum is afraid that it really won't be able to come up with any money.
In this way, wouldn't Professor Han be asked to pay out of his own pocket, but he ended up making a wedding dress for the city museum?
Professor Han was stunned and said, "No, it still costs money?!That's a cultural relic, we are already kind if we don't tell each other, how dare he ask us for money?!"
