Chapter 1086: Take Mine and Send Me Back
After eating breakfast with He Bin and Wei Teng, Tang Dou didn't have time to clean up, and the first visiting guest had already arrived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the cocktail party held by Qian Cihang has ended, those bigwigs who have been called will not leave Utrecht City before Qian Cihang and Tang Dou leave Hader Castle, and they will not easily let go of this opportunity to report to Qian Cihang in person and curry favor with Tang Dou, the future helmsman of Qian's enterprise.
Although the first guest who came to visit was also here to curry favor with Tang Dou, she was not the boss of any company under the name of Qian's company.
Tang Dou greeted Catherine at the gate of the castle with a smile, accepted Catherine's greetings with European aristocratic etiquette, and after returning the salute, invited Catherine into the castle.
Catherine smiled slightly and looked at Tang Dou and said, "Mr. Tang, don't worry, I have a gift for you." ā
Tang Dou smiled, he already knew what Catherine was going to give him as a gift.
A strong divine sense is naturally infinitely beneficial, but it also loses a lot of fun because of it, for example, Tang Dou has already seen what is in the wooden box carried by the four strong men behind Catherine.
The four strong men put the heavy wooden box between Tang Dou and Catherine, Catherine smiled at Tang Dou, personally reached out and lifted the lid of the box, looked at Tang Dou and said: "Mr. Tang, fortunately, I have persuaded the collector to donate the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong from your country, I want to transfer it to you, I hope you can accept it." ā
Tang Dou smiled and said to Catherine: "Thank you Princess Catherine for your tireless efforts to personally send the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong in person, for the return of the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong, on behalf of the villagers of Yangchun Village, I would like to thank Princess Catherine for her sincerity." ā
Catherine blushed a little, she keenly heard Tang Dou say the word return, she was talking about donation, transfer, while Tang Dou said return, the meaning of this is very different.
Catherine squatted down slightly to Tang Dou apologetically, looked at Tang Dou and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Tang, it's me who used the wrong words, this Buddha statue that was lost from China to our Netherlands through abnormal means should indeed be returned to China." ā
Tang Dou looked at Catherine with a smile and said: "Princess Catherine, there is only a difference in language habits between you and me, there is no difference in the understanding of things, we don't have to worry about these words, Princess Catherine, please come to the house." ā
Catherine smiled slightly, raised her little hand and handed it to Tang Dou.
Just this morning, Catherine already knew that Alex had decided to make her the crown prince of the Netherlands, and in three years, Alex would abdicate and she would become the next queen of the Netherlands.
Catherine didn't know if her appointment as the crown prince had something to do with Qian Cihang or Tang Dou, but she knew that this long-delayed matter was done by Alex immediately after they attended Qian Cihang's drinking party last night, and she guessed that this matter must have something to do with Qian Cihang or Tang Dou, which was enough for her.
Tang Dou and Catherine sat in the castle hall drinking tea and chatting, and the two of them also chatted happily, but their conversation today was much deeper than yesterday, and Catherine also showed Tang Dou another side of her.
Pleasant time always passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, when Baron Harry came in to report that the president of Douglas of such and such a company asked to see Qian Cihang and Tang Dou.
Tang Dou got up and said to Baron Harry, "Invite President Daorath in, don't bother your godfather, he didn't have a good rest last night." ā
Baron Harry took the order, Catherine smiled and stood up and looked at Tang Dou and said: "Mr. Tang, I had a good conversation with you today, if you have time these days, I would like to invite you to Amsterdam to visit the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum." ā
Tang Dou smiled and nodded, "I am honored to receive an invitation from Princess Catherine, if the time is arranged, I will definitely contact Princess Catherine." ā
Catherine smiled at Tang Dou and stretched out her hand: "I still have some things to deal with now, so I'll leave first, and we'll make an appointment when the time comes." ā
Tang Dou smiled and shook hands with Catherine goodbye, he knew that Catherine would become the queen of the Netherlands in the future, and naturally he would not mind maintaining a good relationship with a queen, as for the National Museum of the Netherlands and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, to be honest, these two places are not very attractive to Tang Dou, he checked the relevant information on the Internet, in addition to the Buddha statue of the ancestor Zhang Gong that Catherine has sent back, there is no other precious treasure that Tang Dou must get.
The National Museum of the Netherlands does display a lot of artifacts from ancient China, but these bottles and cans are not too rare objects.
The return of cultural relics is not to recover all the cultural relics that China has lost overseas, although some cultural relics are precious and represent Chinese civilization in some aspects, but these cultural relics themselves do not have any special meaning, and it is of little significance to recover them.
Moreover, some cultural relics have been lost through legitimate channels, and now they will face layers of problems when they are recovered.
What made Tang Dou haunt the most were those cultural relics that had exceeded the protection period of the international convention for 70 years, but were plundered by the great powers from the weak Manchu government, and Tang Dou would do whatever it took to snatch them back from the descendants of these dog robbers.
What happened to international conventions?
Can international conventions regulate mysterious disappearances?
Like the treasures of the Old Summer Palace that were rescued by him and Yang Deng, aren't they also displayed in their own museums now?
Want to go to court?
Come on, smack your face with carbon dioxide.
Tang Dou sent Catherine to the gate of the castle, and Baron Harry was leading the Douglas president into the door, and when they saw Tang Dou sending Catherine out, they hurriedly stepped aside and bowed to greet Catherine and Tang Dou.
Tang Dou smiled and shook Douglas's hand, apologized, and asked Baron Harry to lead Douglas in for tea on his behalf, while he sent Catherine all the way to the car, and then shook hands again.
Seeing Catherine leave, Tang Dou was not in a hurry to return to the castle, he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and called the three old men, reported to them the news that the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong was already in his hands, and asked them to negotiate with the cultural relics department and the representatives of Yangchun Village on how to hand over the matter.
Tang Dou didn't want to be too low-key in this matter, he wanted to use this matter to show his attitude to those foreigners, take mine, you'd better send it back to me obediently.
