A person, holding a bronze tripod, walked to the stage.

Many people looked at this bronze tripod in surprise, and people's eyes shifted to Old Man Chen.

When it comes to antiquities, he is an expert.

The people over there also directly brought the bronze tripod to the front of Old Man Chen.

Old Man Chen didn't believe that this was a valuable thing, but when this bronze tripod was brought to his face, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old Chen, is this a very precious thing?" asked President Che.

Old Man Chen took out a magnifying glass directly from his pocket, looked at the bronze tripod in front of him cautiously, and looked up and down for more than ten minutes before he stood up in surprise and looked at Dean Cai: "Where did you get this thing?"

Old Man Chen's expression was very excited, and everyone immediately understood that this bronze tripod must not be simple.

Dean Cai finally stood up with a hint of relief at this time, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, this is what I bought from an Englishman. The summer before last, I went to England for a visit to a British friend's house.

I suddenly found that there was such an oriental cultural relic in his collection cabinet, which felt very strange.

After I asked, I learned that his great-grandfather was the invader who invaded the Old Summer Palace in China.

At the beginning, they relied on the means of invasion to snatch our Huaxia treasure, which made me feel very sad.

At that time, I told him that I wanted to buy this thing back and give it to our motherland, but he offered 100 million yuan, and I couldn't afford it. ”

At this time, a person in the crowd exclaimed, "100 million? This person is crazy, right?"

The corners of Dean Cai's mouth hooked up a smile, but he said righteously: "Actually, in my heart, don't say 100 million, even if it is 100 million, it is worth it, after all, this is our country's national treasure." What is at stake is the dignity of our country. ”

At this time, Old Man Chen nodded with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Dean Cai was even more proud, and continued to speak: "But 100 million, don't say it's me, even if I sell my whole family, I can't take it out."

I asked my British friend if he could make it cheaper.

He looked down on me, or rather, he looked down on us Chinese.

He asked me at the time, if you can tell me the origin of this tripod, I will reduce the price by half and sell it to you.

I'm ashamed that I didn't say it at the time, because I didn't know much about the treasures of our country. ”

Old Man Chen said lightly: "I don't blame you for this, even if you are a lot of experts, you may not know everything." ”

Dean Cai smiled and said, "What Old Man Chen said was that I also wanted to comfort myself like this at that time. But my conscience doesn't allow me to do that. My dignity as a Chinese person does not allow me to watch the treasure of my motherland wander outside.

Just when I was in a deep sense of self-remorse, I met another friend, who worked as a librarian at the University of Cambridge in England, and mentioned to me that he had seen a book about it but had forgotten which one.

I begged to borrow the literature from that library, and it took me three months to find the material and study it carefully.

Then, I went back to my British friend who had collected this bronze tripod and told me all I had learned. ”

Speaking of this, Dean Cai looked around proudly.

Many people around showed an expectant expression, and Dean Cai was very proud: "That British friend, after listening to my research results, realized that I had spent so much energy to study this bronze tripod.

He was touched by my sincerity and was willing to lower the price again.

This time, he dropped to 28 million, but even at this price, it was still not something I could afford.

However, for the sake of the motherland, I chose to buy this bronze tripod.

I sold my family's house, car, and half of my life savings, and at the same time borrowed all my friends and relatives who could borrow it, and even my son's college tuition, but I still couldn't make up enough.

But the Englishman was again touched by my actions, and he said to me, 'The Chinese are so great, we cannot understand your feelings for the motherland, but we admire them very much,' and he agreed, and asked me to pay in installments, and give me the bronze tripod first, so that I could bring it back to the motherland.

Although I lost my family for this bronze tripod, I think it is worth it, because I am a Chinese!"

After Dean Cai said these words impassionedly, there was a warm applause around him.

Only Secretary Chen, President Che had a hint of suspicion in his eyes, they were not so easy to deceive.

And Mr. Che just came to Yunhai from Shangjing, and he didn't know the details of Dean Cai, and thought that Dean Cai, like himself, was the most sincere patriot.

He said a little excitedly: "Thank you, I thank you on behalf of the motherland." This bronze tripod is indeed an item from the Shang Dynasty, and it may even be earlier. It is of great significance to the study of Shang Dynasty culture. I will definitely report to the state that I can't let you bear such a huge debt alone. ”

Secretary Chen also nodded, although he doubted the authenticity of Dean Cai's words, but what they took out was true.

This bronze tripod is indeed a national treasure, and in any case, Dean Cai is willing to donate it, which is very worthy of recognition.

President Che also said at this time: "Tonight's charity party is really a big gain, on behalf of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, thank you." It is precisely because of such a group of kind-hearted businessmen that our Yunhai Chamber of Commerce is thriving. In particular, there is President Cai's great act of kindness, for the country and the people, and the great man of chivalry, Dean Cai, please accept everyone's applause. ”

A group of people applauded Dean Cai together, and at this time, Dean Cai finally raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ye Cuo a few times, and sneered a few times.

Ye Cuo smiled slightly, and applauded with everyone.

Yan's three evils muttered: "This surnamed Cai is really bloody, why are you so reluctant?"

Ye Cuo sneered in his heart: It's not for the greater good.

Secretary Chen stood up and said: "Okay, I announce that this charity party has been successfully concluded, and I am here, on behalf of the Yunhai Municipal Government, to thank all the people in the community for their help." I promise that your donation will be handled properly so that everyone's kindness will not be in vain. Dean Cai, do you want to speak a few more words on behalf of the community?"

Dean Cai sneered and said, "I still say the same thing before, only a powerful person can sit here, and you should do your best to donate." A company with tens of millions of assets, only donating so much money, isn't this burying people?"

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Ye Cuo, only he donated more than 100,000 yuan present.

The three evils of the Yan clan were sitting next to Ye Cuo at this time, and their faces were not good-looking.
