After waiting for a while in Jiya Pavilion and getting a notice from the cultural relics department, Gao Cunzhi took Xu Guoqiang and Chen Yi to the gate of the antique city, preparing to take the vehicle of the cultural relics department to the customs of Haoyang Airport, and those seized cultural relics are being stored in the customs, and after further identification by the cultural relics department, punishment or transfer to the judicial department.
When Chen Yi learned that he was going to the customs to identify the seized cultural relics, he directly said hello to Gao Cunzhi, and then went to a nearby small supermarket to buy a few boxes of chocolates and put them on his body.
Who knows how many cultural relics were seized this time, if there are dozens of them, then the energy value on the body is really not enough.
Gao Cunzhi took the two of them to the gate of the antique city, and when he was about to look for the vehicle of the cultural relics department, a middle-aged man got out of a car parked on the side of the road and beckoned to this side, "Old Gao, here." ”
"Director Xiao, it's really a bit troublesome for you to come and pick us up in person." Seeing this middle-aged man, Gao Cunzhi stepped forward with a smile and said hello.
"You old man, laugh at me, these two little friends are ......." The middle-aged man smiled and patted Gao Cunzhi's shoulder, and then looked towards Chen Yi and the others.
Gao Cunzhi nodded and smiled, "Hehe, Lao Xiao, let me introduce you, these are the two junior brothers I told you before that they were just accepted as apprentices by my master, this is Chen Yi, he won the first place in the Taobao competition held by my master, and picked up five million leaks, and this is Xu Guoqiang, he won the second place, the little junior brother, the fourth junior brother, this is the deputy director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, Director Xiao Xizhi." ”
"Oh. These are the two new disciples of Old Man Zheng, and they are really talented. I have also received some guidance from Zheng Lao, so I will call you two junior brothers, as for you, don't follow Lao Gao and call me Director Xiao, just call me Senior Brother Xiao. Xiao Xizhi looked at the two of them, and then said with a smile.
Chen Yi and Xu Guoqiang nodded suddenly, and shouted with respect on their faces, "Hello, Senior Brother Xiao." ”
"Huh. Okay, Lao Gao, let's get in the car, Xiao Wang, you go to the car in the back. Hearing the shouts of the two, Xiao Xizhi nodded with a smile, and then greeted Gao Cunzhi. Let a young man in the car with a bun jiàn go and get in another car.
Xiao Xizhi sat in the co-pilot, let Gao Cunzhi and the three of them sit in the back seat, and then went all the way to Haoyang Airport Customs.
While the car was moving, Xiao Xizhi turned his head and said to Gao Cunzhi: "Old Gao, fortunately, Elder Zheng sent you to help me, otherwise." There are so many cultural relics, I have to identify them myself until the year of the donkey. ”
"Hehe, you don't believe in your own strength, Director Xiao was a big man in the antique world back then." Gao Cunzhi listened and couldn't help but smile and said.
Xiao Xizhi smiled helplessly. Pointing at Gao Cunzhi, "You." I don't know how to say it, okay, let's give you a brief description of the situation this time. ”
"During the routine random inspection of the airport customs yesterday, dozens of suspected cultural relics were found in the checked luggage, so they were temporarily detained in the customs together with the owners of these things, and the owners of these things are two middle-aged people, whose identities are unknown, according to these two people, these things they transported are modern works of art and have been declared through customs, but in the customs declaration records, they reported cosmetics, but they are not these suspected cultural relics at all." Then, Xiao Xizhi briefly introduced the seized cultural relics to Gao Cunzhi.
Gao Cunzhi nodded, and then asked, "Then what are the types of cultural relics seized this time?" ”
"According to the customs, there is a large part of porcelain, and a small part is stone carving, the number of which is about fifty pieces, according to the photos sent to us by the customs, these porcelain are exquisite, there are no age characteristics, it is likely to be modern handicrafts, but we also need to further identify it, treat modern handicrafts as cultural relics, this kind of thing is not the first time it has happened in the customs." Xiao Xizhi shook his head and smiled.
"Hehe, they are also doing their own work to avoid the loss of precious cultural relics in our country, as for the identification of cultural relics, it is originally the job that you, the director, should do." Gao Cunzhi said with some amusement.
Hearing their conversation, Xu Guoqiang couldn't help but have some doubts on his face, "Senior Brother Gao, why are they obviously handicrafts, how can they report cosmetics, aren't they afraid of being found." ”
Xu Guoqiang's words couldn't help but make Gao Cunzhi and Xiao Xizhi look at each other and smile, "Fourth junior brother, this question is very simple, let the junior brother who graduated from the University of Finance and Economics tell you about it, junior brother, you should know this problem." ”
Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "Senior Brother Gao, I know that this is the case, the workload of the customs is very large, with the increasing prosperity of China's foreign trade, most of the customs inspections are carried out in the form of random inspections, and the sampling proportion is generally about five percent, which also increases the possibility of tax evasion and tax evasion by some people, but this cannot be avoided, because there are countless items entering and leaving the country every day, and if you want to check them all, the existing personnel of the customs cannot do it at all, and at the same time, it will also waste a lot of time. As a result, some people's journeys have been delayed, which has a great impact on the normal trade of the country. ”
When he was in college, some of the teachers at the school told them about some things about customs when they were talking about taxation.
Generally, people who go to Hong Kong from Shenzhen now will buy some things with very high prices in China when they come back, because Hong Kong is a duty-free area, and the items are much cheaper than those in China, and if they are declared normally, these items need to pay taxes, but the flow of people who travel to and from Hong Kong every day is very large, and the customs only takes the way of random inspection, which also makes some people get lucky and get these items cheaper than the domestic price.
"Oh, Senior Brother Gao, I understand." Xu Guoqiang couldn't help but nodded, he thought that the customs was 100% inspecting the items out of the customs.
"However, the junior brother, the fourth junior brother, even with this five percent sampling ratio, the customs can find out more than 1,000 pieces of smuggled cultural relics every day, and it is conceivable how many cultural relics will pass through the customs, which is also one of the reasons for the loss of cultural relics in our country." Gao Cunzhi continued to introduce this simple knowledge to Chen Yi and Xu Guoqiang.
Xiao Xizhi on the side smiled, "Because of this, my country is very strict in its means of cracking down on the smuggling of cultural relics, as long as it is caught, it will be severely punished, and cooperate with the customs to identify and avoid the loss of cultural relics, which is what our cultural relics department can do." ”
On the way to the customs, Gao Cunzhi and Xiao Xizhi kept talking about some things about the customs, so that Chen Yi and Xu Guoqiang also gained a lot of knowledge that they usually don't know.
Soon, they arrived at the airport customs, and their two cars were hung with special passes from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, and they said hello to the customs gate, and the customs gate post also received a notice, and after checking the license plate numbers of the two cars, they were directly allowed to enter.
"Director Xiao, I'm bothering you again." After parking the car, several staff members in customs uniforms waited in front of the office building, watching Xiao Xizhi and a few people coming, and immediately stepped forward to shake hands and greet them.
Xiao Xizhi nodded and smiled, "Director Zhou, this is what we should do, so don't be so polite, take us to see those cultural relics." ”
"Well, Director Xiao, please." A customs leader led everyone into the office building, and constantly introduced the situation of this batch of cultural relics on the road.
Similar to what Xiao Xizhi said before, the two people who smuggled cultural relics repeatedly insisted that these cultural relics were modern handicrafts, and even offered to let the cultural relics department come to identify them.
Chen Yi couldn't help but smile in the back, it seems that these two people are either really transporting modern handicrafts, or they have something to rely on, if under the appraisal of the cultural relics department, these are indeed modern handicrafts, then the behavior of these two people only constitutes tax evasion, just a fine is over, if one or two precious cultural relics are found in it, then the consequences of these two people will be much stricter.
The customs staff took everyone to a room, in which dozens of cultural relics were placed, just like Xiao Xizhi introduced before, most of them were porcelain, and some of them were stone carvings, which looked big and small, dazzling, and couldn't help but give people a strong sense of shock, in addition, there were two staff members in the room, and in the corner, there were two middle-aged people holding their heads.
"Director Zhou." Seeing their arrival, the two customs staff in the room hurriedly stood up and said solemnly.
The customs leader nodded, and said to Xiao Xizhi with a smile: "Director Xiao, this is the batch of cultural relics seized, I am sorry for you." ”
"Leader, we guarantee that these are not cultural relics, or modern handicrafts, if we had kept the cultural relics and sold them for our own money, we would have taken such a big risk to transport them abroad, we just missed some taxes." Seeing the arrival of Director Zhou and others, the two middle-aged people squatting in the corner hurriedly shouted loudly.
"To be honest, if it's really a modern craft, I'll naturally let you go." A customs officer next to him said sternly.
"Xiao Feng, take them to the room next to them, and don't disturb Director Xiao's appraisal." Director Zhou looked at the two of them, frowned and said.
Hearing Director Zhou's words, the two middle-aged men with their heads hurriedly shouted: "If we don't leave, the things we bring are modern handicrafts, we have to see your identification process and results with our own eyes, otherwise we will be wronged." ”
"Director Zhou, let them stay, it just so happens that during the appraisal process, I may have to ask them about something." Seeing this, Xiao Xizhi said with a smile that sometimes when identifying cultural relics, watching the expression of the suspect is also a way to quickly identify them.
Director Zhou thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Director Xiao, I'm sorry for you, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you, Xiao Feng, pay attention to keep them quiet." (To be continued)
