Chapter 192: Pioneer of the Return of Cultural Relics - Chen Yanguang

Zhang Yang looked at the eight big characters in seal script on the seal displayed by Baoyou, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", and nodded.

Sure enough, it is the handiwork of the "flow master" of the assembly line.

Each word is very flat, and the traces of machine polishing can be seen at the same time.

"Baoyou, who did you buy this thing from?"

"I guess it cost more than 10,000, right?"

The size of this jade seal alone, if it is sold according to Hetian jade, it will cost at least four or five thousand.

Coupled with the carving, the theme, the color or something, it is normal for the price to double.

"Teacher, what do you want to say, I'm an old fan, don't keep exposing my scars!" Baoyou asked directly.

Seeing that the other party is so honest, Zhang Yang will not go around the corner.

"The craftsmanship of this thing, I'm afraid it's a group product."

"Teacher, aren't you an advisor to the group?" Baoyou asked.

"In fact, there are many groups, and most of the people who sell this kind of fake goods in China have entered."

"Seeing this thing of yours, I suspect that there is still a remnant."

There are thousands of scammers in the National Treasure Gang, and Zhang Yang didn't expect to send them all in by his own strength.

But since they met, they don't mind giving Captain Liu and them some performance.

Now that the identity is different, maybe the name of Zhang Yang can be added to the final credit book.

Anyway, I'll just ask a few more words.

Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Baoyou also became serious.

"I bought this thing at the antique market, and I guess people can still find it."

"This kind of thing, is it okay to call the police directly?"

Zhang Yang was still hesitating, how to ask Baoyou, but now he didn't have to think about it.

"No problem, brother, you have a strong sense of law!"

"Of course, I've been in the anchor's live broadcast room for a long time, and I haven't learned anything else, and the thief who reports it is fast."

Baoyou said with a smile, and then the conversation changed:

"But I'm worried that they have a background, just like I have always insisted on reporting the teacher's live broadcast room, but I have never blocked it."

"It's fine." Zhang Yang ignored Bao You's work and told him: "Just take a look, is my background hard, or is the background of this group of fakes soft?" ”

[Crazy! I like it]

[The first time I saw the anchor spelling the background, I swiped a penny to support it]

[Don't be cowardly, report the case to Master Zhang's name]

"Can you leave your name on the teacher?" Baoyou asked Zhang Yang according to the suggestion of the barrage.

"Don't worry, I'll ask first."

"Ninth Elder (Criminal Investigator Captain Liu) or his subordinates, is anyone there?"

I saw a familiar ID reply in the barrage "? Zhang Yang was relieved.

"You just leave this name, Liu Xin, the letter of credibility. This is the name of the head of the legal department of our studio. ”

"Where's the phone?" Bao You asked inch by inch.

"I'll send you a private message later."

Zhang Yang didn't remember the police call of the Linhai City Public Security Bureau, so he could only help Baoyou after the broadcast.

Explain the situation to Captain Liu Xinliu, and the other party should be able to understand Baoyou's approach of wanting to protect his privacy.

……

Sent away the treasure friends who were suspected of buying the group's goods, Zhang Yang rested for two minutes and chatted with the barrage for a while.

At this time, a long-lost ID appeared in the live broadcast room and asked Zhang Yang:

[Let me plug in the team, it's not okay, it's urgent]

"Brothers in the queue at the back, let the big brother on the list get out of the queue!"

Zhang Yang symbolically discussed with the friends in line, and then took the initiative to apply for a microphone connection with Chen Yanguang's account.

This is half the head of the Hedong Group, and if he finally decides to be a son-in-law, he may even usurp the throne.

Just ask what happened to the jade seal just now.

Chen Yanguang quickly accepted Lianmai, and the first sentence he said:

"Let me first solemnly declare that the jade seal just now is not the goods of Hedong Group."

"The person in charge of Hedong Group asked me to explain to her that on the group's product list, from beginning to end, there have been no heirloom jade seal products."

This is called professionalism!

Zhang Yang secretly gave a thumbs up and didn't answer the conversation, after all, the person in charge of the Hedong Group was not his wife.

Chen Yanguang paused for a few seconds, then spoke again, and the topic returned to the main topic of this microphone connection.

He asked Zhang Yang: "Do you know the stolen artifacts in the British Museum?" ”

"Yes, but which one was stolen by you?"

As far back as he can remember, the British Museum has publicly admitted to being stolen seven times.

The most recent one occurred in 2023, when more than 2,000 artifacts were lost.

Although this amount is only a drop in the bucket compared to the museum's collection of more than 8 million, it is still quite considerable if it flows into the antique market.

After all, it's all genuine.

Could it be that Chen Yanguang bought the stolen cultural relics?

"I don't know which time, but the seller showed me the label on it, and it was indeed the label of the museum collection, and it was numbered."

"Really? Is there a picture? ”

When Zhang Yang heard that there was a label of stolen cultural relics, his first reaction was to question it.

As for the label of the collection, it is no problem to change it to the collection of any other museum.

The British Museum is different.

Of their more than 8 million collections, only 1.6 million are registered.

Therefore, after the theft, the museum often cannot even get the details of the stolen cultural relics.

Because they only checked the quantity, and did not correspond to each other.

"This is it."

Chen Yanguang showed off the so-called label, which reads "Bronze Mirror, Han Dynasty of China" in English.

There is also a string of Arabic numerals that appear to be the serial number of the collection.

"Is it true?" Chen Yanguang asked Zhang Yang.

"I don't know, whether it's Lao Jiumen or moving mountains, I've never been to England."

Zhang Yang was also puzzled, this label didn't seem to be made up.

Could it be that there was really a stolen document that came out and let Chen Yanguang encounter it?

It's such a coincidence, why is it so similar to the "cultural relics robbery" I encountered before!

"Who is this seller? Where did you come across it? Zhang Yang inquired.

"Of course it's England, in London's Chinatown."

"How did you run into it?"

"The owner of the antiquities store introduced me, and I asked him if he had any good things, and he gave me a contact information."

"You know, we have special channels."

Zhang Yang understands what Chen Yanguang means, the so-called channels are actually their overseas distributors.

It's the same thing in the antiques business all over the world, and if you want to make money from gringos, you have to ask the locals to tell you some stories before you can sell them.

Sounds pretty reliable.

"Where's the thing? Don't you have a photograph of the real thing? ”

"No, I said I had to pay a deposit to show it."

"If this label is okay, I'll buy it first, how about it?"

Chen Yanguang smiled and told Zhang Yang his plan:

"I've thought about it, I'll buy it and send it directly to your museum."

"I understand your intentions, but how do you get through customs?" Zhang Yang reminded.

According to international conventions, stolen cultural relics are to be returned to the family.

In case the other party comes up with evidence that the bronze mirror was bought by the British from China in the early years and donated to the museum, it will be a serious thief.

"Bronze mirrors can't work, can porcelain do?"

Chen Yanguang thought that the problem appeared on the bronze, and showed a photo of the label.

It reads "Blue and white Ruyi holding the moon bottle, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty in China".

This name, how does Zhang Yang look at it and how does it feel familiar.

He quickly searched the Internet, and the content of a piece of news caught his attention.

Isn't this bottle a cultural artifact on display in the British Museum?

Fake? Or is there an inner ghost?
