"It is a pity that the United States rejected our petition to stop the auction of the sheep's head and snake's head cultural relics in the Old Summer Palace on the grounds that the applicant did not have the right to make a direct claim.

Although we respect the business rules of auction companies and the operating mechanism of the art collection market, we strongly condemn and resolutely resist the auction of cultural relics looted by war.

At the same time, we also call on any organization and individual not to participate in this auction and not to buy back these cultural relics that should belong to our country. Wang Wei, the chief lawyer of the legal team, said in an interview with the media.

On the Internet, the news that the beast head and other cultural relics will be auctioned tonight has once again been on the hot search, and even overshadowed the previous sensational Spider-Man incident.

The attention and focus of countless Chinese people were once again placed on the news of this auction, and angry netizens could only denounce it on the Internet.

Everyone has a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts, a kind of grievance that they can't fight back in the face of humiliation.

After Liu Wanqing left the unit, she went to the hospital as soon as possible to visit her grandfather, who had been bedridden for a long time.

Her grandfather suffered from cancer, and the doctor said that he would not live for more than three months, which is why Liu Wanqing was so optimistic about this auction incident, because he didn't want to add another regret to his grandfather's life.

After coming to the ward, Liu Wanqing saw the skinny grandfather on the bed, tears welled up instantly, she held her grandfather's withered palm, and said sadly: "Grandpa is sorry......"

"Silly boy, it's not your fault, grandpa knows that you did your best, this is the nature of the great powers, but grandpa believes that this may be the last time they get involved in our national treasure, and when we achieve great rejuvenation in China, those countries will definitely obediently return all the things that belong to us!" The old man's trembling palms patted Liu Wanqing's shoulder and comforted.

Although he was also full of indignation and unwillingness about this incident.

But he knows better than anyone that this is a helpless thing, if Huaxia fails to achieve a real rise, this kind of helpless thing will still happen, and those national treasures will still have to be displaced and lost to other places.

……

Inside the Lancaster Manor, Wilmington, United States.

The auction is about to begin, and all the bidders who participated in the auction, after visiting the Lancaster Family Museum, entered the auction site, took their seats, and waited for the auction to begin.

There were also a lot of reporters at the scene, all of whom were mainstream media reporters specially invited by Scott.

Not only that, but he also invited several online media to webcast today's auction.

Scott knows very well that Chinese people love face, and if this auction is broadcast live online, it will definitely inspire their fighting spirit.

No matter how outrageous the auction price is today, they will take those artifacts head-on.

Of course, he himself wants the media to witness the auction and the Lancaster family's contribution to the cause of national defense.

In addition to a few wealthy businessmen from China, there are also many wealthy businessmen from rice and Southeast Asia, and even antique dealers.

Of course, there were also a lot of bidders arranged by Scott on the scene in order to deliberately raise the price.

Ma Zhenghong is the chairman of Huaxia Shenyou International, and as a successful entrepreneur and patriot, he was also extremely indignant when he heard about the auction of the 12 zodiac animal heads.

But it also knows that the relevant departments of China have negotiated with the Mi side many times to no avail, and the auction is a sure thing.

No matter how angry and angry you are, nothing will change about this.

The only way is to bring the beast's head back to the motherland through bidding, so that the scars of this history will not be torn apart repeatedly.

Although the relevant authorities have repeatedly stressed that they will not accept the cultural relics they buy back through auctions.

But in Ma Zhenghong's view, as long as the cultural relics can be returned home and the zodiac beast heads can return to the motherland, it is a good thing with immeasurable merits, and it is worth spending more money.

Of course, he also knew that there were several other Chinese entrepreneurs at the scene today.

Although they didn't have any business contacts before and didn't have much intersection, they were definitely each other's comrades-in-arms today, fighting for the same goal.

……

In a high-end residence in Kyoto, Liu Wanqing, who was wearing a suspender nightdress, was sitting on the bed and using her laptop to climb over the wall to watch the live broadcast on the Internet.

At this time, her mood can be described as very conflicted, on the one hand, she does not want to look for abuse to watch this shameful moment.

But I couldn't rest assured about this matter, and I wanted to know who would eventually photograph the sheep head and snake head, and whether there were really wealthy Chinese businessmen willing to bring these cultural relics back to the motherland.

Because deep down, she still hopes that these cultural relics can be returned to China.

However, at this time, as much as Liu Wanqing, Hua Anqi and countless Chinese netizens who are concerned about this matter are also paying attention to Hua Anqi.

They all used various ways to enter the extranet to watch the live webcast, and even some domestic anchors also broadcast the auction in their live broadcast rooms.

Countless netizens swiped the same sentence in the message area of those foreign live broadcast platforms: "Resist banditry forever, the zodiac beast head will always belong to our Huaxia!" ”

There are also some netizens in the languages of different countries, in the message area, popular science about what the 12 zodiac animal heads are and how they were plundered by the powers.

And in the live broadcast rooms of major anchors, angry netizens are also venting their inner emotions.

"What is a Cardex company, just change the name to the company that lacks morality!"

"That's it, curse you that all auction items will be stolen in the future, the company will go out of business, and it will be closed!"

"Damn, I'm angry just looking at that Scott, I really want to smoke it, barking on the Internet all day long!"

"It's a clown!"

"I saw several of our wealthy Chinese businessmen at the scene, this is a national treasure that is going to be saved with money ability!"

"In the past, several rich people have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the auctioned beast heads, and it is really infuriating to think about those foreign devils using our things to make our money!"

"If I had the money, I wouldn't go to any auction and hire international thieves to steal things back! No, take it back, to be exact! ”

"So you're not a rich businessman, someone else is!"

"Alas, if we don't bid for it, we can only watch people buy our national treasures, and to participate in the auction is to send money to those powers, which is really depressing!"

……

At nine o'clock in the morning local time in the United States, the auction was official, and Scott took the stage to give a speech.

Again, it is emphasized that today's auction is a charity auction, and all proceeds will be donated to the Military Research Institute for research and development of new technologies.

Hearing Scott's words, countless angry Chinese netizens used various national scoldings to blow up the comment areas of those live broadcast platforms, and some people were even afraid that people in other countries would not understand, so they scolded Scott and Christie's in more than a dozen national languages.

However, no matter how much they scolded, they also felt angry, but they felt more and more angry in their chests and nowhere to vent, which was very uncomfortable.

The auction officially began, and the auctioneer announced the first lot: "The cultural relics in the first auction are the heads of sheep among the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace in China!" For an introduction to this artifact, please see the big screen......"

With the words of the auctioneer, the film immediately began to play on the big screen at the scene.

In the picture is a video of the Eight-Nation Alliance burning the Old Summer Palace and plundering all kinds of treasures like robbers, and at the same time the narration sounds: "The bronze statue of the 12 zodiac beast heads in the Old Summer Palace was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace, and it was a red bronze statue in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1860, the Western powers launched the Opium War against China, and invaded the royal garden - the Old Summer Palace, burned and looted, plundered countless treasures in the Old Summer Palace, including the heads of the 12 zodiac animals, and finally cruelly burned the Old Summer Palace, the pinnacle of the history of garden architecture and art, burned, heart-wrenching! ”

Seeing the video here, there was a commotion at the scene.

Almost everyone could see that something seemed wrong with the content of the video.

Especially Ma Zhenghong and other wealthy Chinese businessmen, they couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.

They didn't expect that these Westerners would have such a high level of consciousness and dare to admit their crimes so openly.

However, the Cedex staff and Scott at the scene were extremely ugly.

Naturally, they also saw that something was wrong with this film, and it was obviously not the material they had prepared before.

"What's going on, what are you doing?" Scott rushed backstage and asked.

"This isn't an expansion pack we've prepared!"

"Oh no, our computer seems to have crashed due to a virus!" The back-office staff is already in a mess.

However, the video on the big screen is also nearing its end.

"The 12 zodiac signs are the cultural inheritance of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads will always belong to China!"

With a line of big red characters appearing on the big screen, the video ends here.

At the same time, the staff of Cedex® also directly unplugged the video cable of the large screen and cut off the picture.
