Chapter 299: Return of Cultural Relics
August 30th.
A cargo plane from London, England, slowly landed at Imperial Capital International Airport.
After the plane stopped.
Media reporters, who had been waiting here for a long time, with microphones in their hands and cameras on their shoulders, swarmed up and surrounded the plane.
The reporters were all excited.
In front of the camera, they commented one after another:
"In the past two hundred years, the Western colonizers have plundered tens of millions of valuable cultural relics from our country, even if the contemporary country Z has become rich and powerful, and has negotiated with the Western powers many times, they still have no intention of returning them, but as their legitimate property, as a representative of their past glory, but for the first time, the British Museum returned the first batch of 100 priceless cultural relics, and the remaining more than 20,000 pieces of the museum will be returned within half a year."
"This is an event of great historical significance, and it is also an important symbol of our entry into a superpower!"
"Today is also a day of shame, every person in country Z should be proud and proud, the descendants of the robbers compromised, and they finally relented, but not because we are reasonable, but because we are strong!"
"Those who know the times are Junjie, and the British chose to return the cultural relics very wisely, solving the historical problems that separated the majority of Z people, the Opium War and other grievances after 1840, and since then peace and friendship will be the main theme of the future relations between the two countries."
"Of course, in this cultural relics return operation, the role played by Xinghai Technology cannot be ignored, and it can be said that it is the greatest hero!"
"How Xinghai Technology persuaded the British that the method of handing over the cultural relics is unknown, but there is no doubt that Xinghai Technology played a more useful role than diplomats and more powerful than warships and aircraft, so that the British had to agree to return the cultural relics...... This company is the biggest hero! ”
"Xinghai Technology has done a great job! Just rush to this matter, and from now on a lifetime of fans! ”
"Let it go, let it go!"
At this time, more than a dozen experts in white coats pushed away the reporters, squeezed out a way, quickly reached the tail of the plane, and let the staff open the cargo hold.
Inside the warehouse, there are hundreds of square boxes.
In the box, the nature contained is a valuable cultural relic.
The leader of the expert, who wore glasses and had gray hair, named Jin Baochang, is over 80 years old and is the chief expert of the Palace Museum.
He is known as a "living dictionary" in the industry.
Since the boxes are written on them, the names of the cultural relics are marked.
In the process of carrying hundreds of precious cultural relics one by one, in the face of media reporters, Jin Baochang couldn't help but introduce:
This is a Shang Dynasty double sheep bronze statue, is the Shang Dynasty sacrificial ritual with bronze wine vessels, by two rams to support the altar, two sheep heads can be seen on both sides, the shape is very realistic, reflecting the ancient people of the Z country more than 3,000 years ago superb level of utensils production...... Its value can be described as priceless. ”
"This artifact, called 'cloisonné porcelain altar', was made during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, when craftsmen adopted the cloisonné making techniques of Byzantine craftsmen and improved the technique in the early 15th century. Cloisonné porcelain is time-consuming and expensive to make, with artisans using wire to outline the dragon and moire patterns on bronze vessels, and then filling them with glass paste...... There are currently only two cloisonné porcelain altars with lids like this in the world, one in the British Museum and the other in a private collection. ”
"One of the most important specimens of blue and white porcelain in existence, and probably the most famous in the world, this pair of artifacts, known as the 'David Vase', was made for Taoist altars and is valued for the dated inscription above the dragon pattern and on the side of the bottleneck. This is the earliest blue and white porcelain with inscriptions in country Z that we now know. ”
"This cultural relic is a painting, it is the Ming Dynasty painter Tang Yin's "Landscape Painting", Tang Yin is very famous, that is, Tang Bohu, one of the four great talents known to everyone......"
Jin Baochang introduced the origin, characteristics, and value of each cultural relic, and he was able to gush a lot of words, which opened the eyes of the reporters present.
I don't know why, when it comes to the back, tears welled up in Jin Baochang's old eyes.
couldn't help but sigh:
"For more than 60 years, I have participated in the appraisal of cultural relics for more than 60 years, and I have been to the British Museum more than 30 times, almost every two years, and at most three times a year."
"It's not easy, it's not easy, the arrogance of the British is in their bones, at first we couldn't even enter the museum, and they directly refused...... At that time, the country had just opened up to the outside world, and it was still very poor, and they looked down on us, let alone returned the cultural relics, and they would blow you away at the mention of this. ”
"After another decade, we were able to enter the British Museum, but we could only see the artefacts through the glass, accompanied by security guards, who were not allowed to take pictures, and we could only visit for an hour at a time."
"Later, we were able to take pictures, and there were no security guards nearby, but the artifacts were still not ours, and many people were negotiated, but they still refused to return them."
"Humiliation, heartache, every time I see the precious cultural relics of my own country, lying in the museum of someone else's country, I feel uncomfortable."
"But now they're back, finally home! I can touch them and study them well, this is the treasure of our nation, they will never leave again, it's good, it's good! ”
Speaking of this, Jin Baochang couldn't cry anymore.
Bang Bang Bang!
The reporters applauded, and some emotional female reporters also shed tears.
Looking at this old man with tears in his eyes, countless viewers in front of the TV or in front of the live video also burst into tears.
But more netizens are full of doubts in their hearts.
How?
How exactly does Xinghai Technology do it?
Some netizens calculated an account and analyzed: "The British Museum has a total collection of about 23,000 pieces of cultural relics of country Z, each of which is a priceless treasure, let's set a price, the average value of each piece is 10 million, multiplied by 23,000, that is 230 billion soft sister coins!" ”
"If it is all returned now, it is equivalent to a loss of at least 230 billion economic benefits."
"With the cheekiness of the English gentlemen, how could they give up such a great interest and return all the cultural relics without compensation?"
"Puzzle, it's a huge mystery, there's definitely some PY trading behind this!"
Other netizens agreed: "Yes, there must be unknown deals here!" ”
……
Paradise of Happiness.
On the dinner table.
Looking at Chen Jin, Su Yun also asked the same question with admiration and curiosity: "Husband, tell me, how did you do it?" ”
His mother He Li and father Chen Gang also looked at him, their eyes were very curious.
"The British are very face-saving and ask us to keep it secret, but ......"
Chen Jin shook his head and said, "I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else." ”
"I'll keep it a secret." Su Yun nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"In fact, it is very simple, the initial price of Xiaoxing learning machine, we set it at 20,000 pounds, the price of virtual factories and work assistants is also ten times that of China, the British feel expensive, I said that it is simple to reduce the price, every time 1 cultural relic is returned, the price of learning machines and work assistants is reduced by 1 pound, and the price of virtual factories is reduced by 100 pounds...... The more they returned, the cheaper the price, they calculated the economic account, and then returned the things. ”
So that's it!
Su Yun's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
20,000 pounds a learning machine, my own man is too bad and too witty!
