After breakfast, An Xi said goodbye to go to work in the company.

Wang Zixuan held back a little, and seeing that An Xi insisted, he asked the bodyguard to send An Xi to Evolution Media.

An Ran watched An Xi leave and said, "Sister An Xi is so hard." ”

Wang Zixuan hugged An Ran to the living room and said with a smile: "People are very independent, you think they are all as lazy as you." ”

An Ran and Wang Zixuan sat down on the sand together, and said pitifully: "It turns out that my husband thinks I eat white rice, so I will go to work after graduation." ”

Wang Zixuan slid to An Ran Qiao with one hand. kneaded his buttocks and said with a smile: "Your job is to serve your husband, just don't be lazy." ”

An Ran wrinkled his nose and said, "I also want to be the same as Sister An Xi, refuse to dive. Rules. ”

Looking at An Ran's cute appearance, Wang Zixuan couldn't help but bite An Ran's white cheek and said with a smile: "The assistant is a submersible. Rules, girlfriend is doing her duty. ”

An Ran wiped his face with the back of his hand in disgust, and said angrily: "My husband has left saliva." ”

"I'll let you saliva."

Wang Zixuan pressed An Ran down on the sand and kissed it.

"Don't!"

……

Wang Zixuan pressed An Ran on the sand and kneaded it for a while before sitting up with An Ran in his arms.

An Ran glanced at the tent on the crotch of Wang Zixuan's pants with watery eyes, and said with a hint of coquettishness: "My husband deserves to hold it." ”

Wang Zixuan looked at An Ran, who had a youthful face, and said with a wicked smile: "My wife is also holding back with me, so I won't be satisfied with you." ”

An Ran said a little duplicitously: "I don't want to be bullied by you!" ”

"I'm not fooled, so I won't bully you." Wang Zixuan smiled and took out his mobile phone and logged in the scarf.

An Ran didn't know what Wang Zixuan was going to do, so he didn't speak again, and looked at Wang Zixuan obediently.

"Today is International Museum Day, and I would like to announce a good news to you. The prince has already bought back the rat, rabbit, dragon, snake, sheep, chicken, and dog in the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac beasts, and will donate them to the National Museum in a few days, along with a batch of cultural relics. ”

May 18 is International Museum Day.

An Ran waited until Wang Zixuan took out this scarf before asking, "Did my husband get the chicken and dog?" ”

The twelve zodiac signs that the two people are talking about are the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac beasts in the Old Summer Palace.

The Zodiac Beast was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. Designed by the Qing Dynasty court painter Lang Shining. Arranged in a figure-of-eight pattern on both sides of the fountain, each bronze statue is a fountain mechanism, and every hour, the corresponding animal will spray water from its mouth for two hours. At 12 o'clock at noon, the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac beasts will spray water at the same time.

It may seem a little magical, but many people say that these are the twelve faucets made by foreigners.

This includes some experts.

The late Luo Zhewen, an expert on cultural relics, once said that the craftsmanship of the 12 zodiac beasts is rough and the artistic value is not high, and its greatest value is only as evidence of the imperialist countries' invasion of China.

Chen Lusheng, deputy director of the National Museum, also said that it was inappropriate for the beast to be called a "national treasure" as soon as it was put up for auction. In particular, it is even more inappropriate to call "faucets made by foreigners" a national treasure.

During the Second Opium War, the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace and looted the Zodiac Beast and many other cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace.

Regardless of the artistic value, there is no doubt that the most famous of the looted relics of the Old Summer Palace is the Chinese zodiac.

The Chinese people are most familiar with the 12 zodiac signs.

Previously, five were recovered in the country, cows, monkeys, tigers, pigs, and horses.

At the Christie's and Sotheby's spring auctions in Hong Kong in late April and early May 2ooo, bronze statues of cows, monkeys and tigers were unveiled. Poly Group won the auction for 774.5 Hong Kong dollars, 8.185 million Hong Kong dollars for the monkey, and Tiger for Hong Kong dollars.

At the beginning of 2oo3, the Huaxia Special Fund for the Rescue of Lost Overseas Cultural Relics found the whereabouts of pigs in the United States. After some effort, the American collector agreed to transfer the pigs to the fund. September 2oo3. Stanley Ho donated more than 6oo yuan to the fund to buy back the bronze statue of the pig. It was subsequently transferred to Poly Group.

In September 2oo7, Sotheby's announced that it would auction the bronze statue of the horse. Stanley Ho bought the bronze statue of Ma for HK$6.91 million before the auction and donated it back.

Now the five beasts are stored in the Beijing Poly Art Museum.

Wang Zixuan nodded and said, "Well, they will be sent directly to Sanya." ”

An Ran said a little curiously: "Does my husband know who they are?" ”

Wang Zixuan shook his head and said, "I don't know." It should be an ancient family of Britain and France, or maybe it is the Rothschilds. Just like in the country, there are some hidden magnates everywhere. But in the face of your husband, they can only bow down. ”

Wang Zixuan was still a little proud.

No matter how awesome the family is, there is no reborn cow.

The Rat and the Rabbit also appeared at auction in Paris, France in 2oo9. Huaxia also protested for a while, but the auction was held as scheduled. However, two beasts were auctioned at a high price by a domestic person, but he refused to pay. It's kind of messing up this auction.

After Prince Vacation decided to spend 1oo yuan to buy back the cultural relics lost overseas, he asked experts to study some cultural relics with higher value.

The Twelve Beasts are one of them.

After Wang Zixuan read the list listed by the experts, he asked the relevant personnel to search for the twelve beasts with all their might, and the rat and rabbit did not have much effort, and found the collector through the guò auction house, and then it was the payment transaction.

According to the news of some collectors, the prince found the treasure island collector who collected the dragon again on vacation, and bought it back at a high price.

There are four beasts left: snake, sheep, chicken, and dog, but there is no clue.

The prince also buys high-value artefacts from private collectors through guò auctions and privately from some private collectors.

Before the prince's vacation, there was a wind to buy back the cultural relics that had been lost overseas, and some people took advantage of the prince's vacation and deliberately raised the price at the auction.

As a result, the prince directly grabbed some cultural relics from various countries, and at the same time raised the price of cultural relics from various countries in that auction.

This is also Wang Zixuan's bad idea, if you dare to raise the price of the cultural relics I want, I will raise the price of all the cultural relics.

Look at who has the most money.

Wang Zixuan's acquisition of cultural relics from other countries is also used to exchange some lost cultural relics with private collectors or museums in those countries, and he is not interested in cultural relics from other countries.

Those who maliciously inflated the price didn't dare to mess around when they saw the prince's practice of directly flipping the table and not letting everyone play.

After that auction, the acquisition of Prince Vacation was also much easier, and everyone was afraid that Prince Vacation would soar again.

When Wang Zixuan thought that he couldn't find the four beasts of snake, sheep, chicken, and dog for the time being, the four beasts were automatically delivered.

A white man found Wang Zixuan and sent the snake and the sheep directly, as long as Wang Zixuan notified him when the Predator Fund stopped shorting the euro, he would send the remaining two beasts.

When Wang Zixuan heard this condition, he didn't think much about it, so he agreed to him.

Anyway, the Predator Fund will not do foreign exchange in the future.

He also doesn't care how much money this mysterious person will make based on his news. (To be continued!)
