Chapter 854: Depressed
Qi Baolin also felt very wronged in his heart at this time, this matter was actually a trouble caused by his top boss, when he asked before, the boss didn't make it clear, and when he heard him report that the value of the cultural relics involved in this case might be hundreds of millions, his boss remembered Chu Chen's request before, and his boss was shocked into a cold sweat at that time.
Since these cultural relics were stolen by tomb thieves, after they are confiscated, they will definitely belong to the state, in this case, let alone Qi Baolin's boss, even if it is a higher level, it is impossible to give things to Chu Chen.
Of course, if you hide it from the world, you will definitely not be able to find it for a while, but the value of cultural relics is so high, if someone investigates, the responsible person will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and Chu Chen will have some influence.
As a result, Qi Baolin's boss could only remedy it and let Qi Baolin figure it out by himself.
"Good! Even if you didn't hear it clearly, don't you know about it afterwards? ”
After listening to Qi Baolin's explanation, Wu Ke did not calm the anger in her heart, on the one hand, Qi Baolin had the idea of not reporting it, on the other hand, she felt that Chu Chen was taking such a risk, but she only got some rented cultural relics, plus some money that was dispensable for Chu Chen, such a condition, she would not have agreed to it at all.
For Wu Ke, Chu Chen's safety is the first priority, and for Chu Chen, the conditions given by Qi Baolin are indeed very generous, don't think that the maintenance fee for hundreds of cultural relics in a year is not much, no matter how little, hundreds of thousands will always be needed.
These hundreds of thousands are just a drizzle for Chu Chen, but for some museums that are not strong in economic strength. But it's the motivation to sustain their survival.
For example, there are many private museums in China, but they have not developed much for various reasons. There are two main reasons for this. One is that the number of collections is too small, and the other is that the funds are not sufficient. To know. These museums are financed only by the owners of the museums, except for some ticket revenues.
And the owners of those private museums, how many of them are like Chu Chen, who are not bad for money? In addition to earning money from other sources, these people can only keep their collections in their collections, but since they are museums, how can the collections be changed all the time? This is clearly not a good idea.
As a result, some museums with weak strength and not rich collections. I can only grit my teeth and hold on.
And the conditions given by Qi Baolin undoubtedly solved the biggest problem of private museums, and the sincerity is not insufficient, but Chu Chen is not bad for money, and this matter is still sued after the fact, how can he not be angry!
Chu Chen looked at Qi Baolin, who was silent, and breathed a sigh of relief, the matter had come to this. No matter how angry he was, it was impossible for him to turn all the cultural relics in front of him into his, but he always felt that he was holding his breath in his heart, so he said coldly: "It's all borrowed anyway." Captain Qi, the cultural relics here are all borrowed from me. What do you think? ”
Qi Baolin saw that Chu Chen was not angry, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Then he hurriedly said: "Chu Shao, although I also want to lease these cultural relics to you." But it's hard for me to explain. ”
"Do you think I'm here to confess?" Chu Chen sneered.
"Chu Shao, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that!"
Qi Baolin hurriedly explained: "We will definitely report this case to the cultural relics. Department, if we don't leave them some cultural relics, we really can't talk about it. ”
Chu Chen was also lazy and long-winded, and asked directly: "You just say, how much can you leave to me at most?" ”
"This ......" Qi Baolin pondered for a while and said, "I can be the master and leave half of it to you!" ”
"Don't half of it, at least three-fifths!" Chu Chen's tone was very firm when he spoke, and Qi Baolin was not allowed to refuse at all. In fact, he is rarely so aggressive, but today's ups and downs make him really depressed, what's the matter, he has to make up for it.
Seeing Chu Chen's expression, Qi Baolin also knew that this should be the bottom line, so he hurriedly agreed. If the department doesn't agree, that's his boss's business, can't he carry all the black pots, right?
Seeing that this matter was almost over, Qi Baolin hurriedly said: "Chu Shao, it's not too early, let's go and eat first!" ”
"What a meal! The gas is full for you! Chu Chen said angrily: "And you are so untrustworthy, I can only check these cultural relics first, so as not to transfer the bag to you!" ”
After speaking, he began to carefully observe the utensils that Ma Xionglin had brought out just now.
Qi Baolin smiled embarrassedly, at this time, he couldn't let Chu Chen be hungry, so he hurriedly asked his men to go down and get some food.
The second time Ma Xionglin moved out, it was also a bronze piece called Fang Shu. It is a wine container and ritual vessel, which was developed from Neolithic pottery. It was prevalent from the late Shang period to the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty and was used to hold wine or warm wine. The basic shape is extravagant, with a column on the edge of the mouth, a wide body, and a long foot underneath.
The shape of this square vessel in front of him is not small, it is estimated that it is more than fifty centimeters, and the decoration of the table is also quite exquisite, and like the bronze eagle tripod next to it, it looks like it should be a work of the late Shang Dynasty, Chu Chen estimates that it may be the same era as the bronze eagle tripod.
After seeing Fang Hao, Chu Chen walked into the hut, the space of the hut is not large, and there are only dozens of cultural relics in it, but although there are few cultural relics, there are only two types of bronze and porcelain, but all of them are high-quality products, and the remaining few heavy objects, without exception, are also bronze.
In fact, such bronze heavy objects, even on the domestic antique black market, can be sold at a good price, but Ma Xionglin did not sell them, first, because these bronzes are too valuable, if they are sold in China, it is easy to attract the attention of others, and the other is that Ma Xionglin wants to sell them at a high price.
If Chu Chen hadn't patronized him this time, Ma Xionglin would definitely have shipped these bronze heavy weapons out of the country, and if he wanted to return to China at that time, it would be extremely difficult.
After carefully looking at these precious cultural relics in front of him, Chu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, these cultural relics in front of him, just the close appreciation, made him feel that this trip was worthwhile, if he could have it, it would be too happy, but unfortunately this idea was shattered by Qi Baolin, making him feel annoyed when he thought about it!
Adjusting the feelings, Chu Chen unexpectedly found that in addition to the collection in the hut, there was actually a small staircase that was slightly disguised in the corner, this should be the exit prepared by Ma Xionglin in advance, he looked at it, the exit was quite hidden, if Ma Xionglin escaped from here, it was indeed possible for him to escape.
