That night in the hotel, after Peipe subdivided the exhibition areas one by one in front of the photocopied museum floor plan paper, Pepe found that sure enough, according to the current exhibition area planning, with such a deep exhibition area, compared with the number of these collections in the current space, the variety and number of exhibits in her private museum are still not rich enough, and it is estimated that there will be two to three sub-exhibition halls left in the museum that will be empty.

In other words, when Pepe was not reincarnated and was still a soul body, this girl's eyes were extremely picky, and the collections that she would look at and include in the space were either carefully selected or what she found interesting and fun.

As the former county lord's mother, the value of those treasures that can be carefully selected by Pepe is of course needless to say, and they are definitely priceless national treasures.

And those who are included in the space because they find it interesting and fun, after the passage of these hundreds of years, have long become antique cultural relics.

Valued only by the age and condition of the collection, those things that were once regarded as toys by Pepe must have a high collector's value in today's antique market.

However, because of the difference in aesthetic concepts, when Yujue drifted all the way to Europe, not many of the works of art sought after by Europeans could pass Pepe's aesthetic standards.

Therefore, all the above reasons have caused all the treasures that Pepe is currently collecting in the space to describe in three words compared to the area of the museum after it has been built - less but fine!

――――――――――――――――――――

By the time the museum's design drawings were finalized, Pepe was already aware that the collections in his space might not be rich enough.

And because of that. She had only come up with those "ghost treasure theft cases" before, not only to retrieve these national treasures lost overseas by her own country, but also to enrich and fill her own collection.

And how should all the cultural relics and works of art obtained through the "ghost treasure theft" be seen in the future?

Among Pepe's relatives and friends, the only one who deals with antiques and auction houses the most is the old man at home. Therefore, before she left for Hong Kong, she made a special call to the old man at home:

One is to inform the old man that the museum in Hong Kong has been built;

Second, on the grounds that the collection is not sufficient, he straightforwardly inquired from his own old man - where can he get in touch with the market for the sale and purchase of stolen art.

Pepe asked people to be considered the right way, the old man Li who often runs around the art auction house at home. gave several answers to this question of his granddaughter.

According to Mr. Li. Several countries, such as the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom and Japan, have a "work of art protection" perspective in their legal provisions regarding stolen antique artworks! -- To put it bluntly, the legal attitude of these countries in this area is more inclined to the sale and laundering of stolen goods!

In the Netherlands, for example, suppose a thief steals a certain work of art. The police failed to catch the thief within the 21-year retroactive period stipulated by law. So. As long as the 21-year legal retrospective period has passed, this artwork belongs to the thief from a legal point of view!

The Netherlands will issue such a law. The fundamental reason is to prevent those stolen cultural relics, artworks, and antiques from being destroyed by thieves under the investigation of the police, or smuggled out of the Dutch border, or hidden and never seen the light of day.

For example, in Italy, as long as the art is publicly purchased from an auction in Italy, even if the art is stolen, the stolen art is already the legal property of the purchaser from a legal point of view!

The reason why Italy has such a law to launder stolen goods (i.e., protect buyers) is because Italy was the seat of the ancient Roman Empire. Therefore, as a big art country in Italy, there is a special industry that has been circulating for a long time among its underground dark forces, and that is the tomb robber industry!

It is precisely because of the rampant use of these tomb robbers in Italy that many antique cultural relics handed down from the ancient Roman Empire in Italy are sold to the international art market through smuggling, resulting in a large number of Italian national treasures being lost abroad.

Therefore, there is a precondition for this law - if the stolen art being auctioned was originally an antiquity belonging to Italy or ancient Rome before the theft, then the purchaser cannot take the artwork out of Italian customs!

It is precisely in order to protect those antique cultural relics that have been handed down since the ancient Roman period to remain in Italy, that the Italian government will issue such a legal provision for the laundering of stolen goods!

Interestingly, since the introduction of this law, the tomb robbers and antiquities dealers in Italy are still the same as the birds, and they still sell ancient Roman antiquities in the country through various smuggling channels.

At the same time, however, they developed another means of livelihood through this domestic law - collecting stolen goods from the underground black market of works of art abroad, and then transporting them back to Italy through well-established smuggling channels to sell them.

As a result, because of the law of laundering stolen goods issued by the Italian government, Italy has since become a holy place for antiquities dealers from other countries other than Italy itself.

Every year, the world's leading auction houses hold large auctions in Italy, which always attract wealthy people from all over the world and some museum agents. These people gather here in order to compete for those cultural relics and antiques that could not be seen in their own country, and then transport them back to their own country in a bright light.

In addition, there is London, England, before the legal provisions of this stolen goods laundering in Italy were issued, London has always been a world-famous stolen goods capital! After decades of development, the underground forces of this country have formed a huge network of professional underground stolen goods and sales, and they are famous in the world for many advantages such as fair prices and fast changing hands.
