Yanjing, early in the morning.

Dong Wenhui, who had just entered the office and was about to hold a morning meeting later, looked at the transoceanic phone from Tang Yuan, he was slightly stunned, although he didn't know why Tang Yuan suddenly called him, but he still quickly picked up the phone.

"Tang Dong, good morning!"

"I just looked at the caller ID, why are you in Los Angeles?"

Dong Wenhui asked with a smile.

"Director Dong, I have been here for more than a month since I came to Los Angeles for exchange and study." Tang Yuan responded with a smile: "It's four o'clock in the afternoon here, if I call a little later, the sun may set." ”

Although after signing the lease contract of the 24th Seal of the Ming Dynasty, the two have not been in contact much, but Dong Wenhui is still very enthusiastic about Tang Yuan, and he is not embarrassed to greet politely.

"Director Dong, don't hide it, I called you today to ask for something."

After a brief greeting, Tang Yuan didn't detour anymore, and said straight to the point.

"Tang Dong, there is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"As long as it's within my ability, I'm going to do my best."

Dong Wenhui's eyebrows were slightly raised, although he had some doubts in his heart, but he did not hesitate at all, and the scene was very beautiful.

"With Director Dong's words, I am relieved."

Tang Yuan said with a smile, and then explained: "Director Dong, here's the thing, I participated in a private collection exchange meeting in Los Angeles two days ago, and accidentally purchased a ding-shaped bronze from the late Spring and Autumn Period......"

"What?"

"Ding-shaped bronzes from the late Spring and Autumn period?"

"Tang Dong, are you serious?"

Before Tang Yuan finished speaking, Dong Wenhui couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right."

"I have found someone to test it, the age of this tripod-shaped bronze is the product of the late Spring and Autumn period, and this tripod-shaped bronze is extremely well preserved, and the condition is the best of the best."

The test is naturally untested, with a mysterious ancient ring, Tang Yuan does not need to send this tripod-shaped bronze to a professional institution for inspection, and the private collection exchange meeting he just mentioned is purely made up by him in order to explain the origin of this tripod-shaped bronze.

As for Dong Wenhui's belief or not, he has no way to verify it, because the private collection exchange meeting is a social occasion that exists in the top society, and it has a strong privacy and a very high threshold, as long as he doesn't say it on the grounds that he needs to keep it secret, no one can force him.

"Tang Dong, this is a tripod-shaped bronze in the late Spring and Autumn Period."

"How much does it cost to buy a proper national treasure-level cultural relic from someone else?"

Dong Wenhui asked curiously.

"Hehe......"

"It's really expensive."

"But this is a cultural treasure left to us by our ancestors, and now it is overseas, even if it is expensive, I have to buy it back."

Tang Yuan laughed twice, and the answer he gave was a little vague.

Dong Wenhui saw that Tang Yuan was reluctant to say more, so he didn't ask too much more curiously, and instead asked Tang Yuan: "Tang Dong, what you just said about asking for something, is it related to this Zunding-type bronze?" ”

"That's right."

Tang Yuan responded, and then continued: "Director Dong, after I bought this Ding-type bronze back, I weighed it a little, and I found that its weight was far more than the same volume of bronzes, so I suspect that there is something in this Ding-type bronze. ”

"However, the age of this tripod-shaped bronze is too long, so that the lid of this tripod-shaped bronze has been completely integrated with the tripod body, and if it is forcibly opened, it will cause great damage to this tripod-shaped bronze."

"I called Director Dong this time to temporarily borrow a professional team from Director Dong to help me separate the lid from the tripod without destroying the tripod-shaped bronzes, so as to take out the contents inside."

"In this loan, I will provide first-class round-trip air tickets and five-star hotel accommodation, whether it is successful or not, I will pay the National Museum 2 million yuan for this loan, and if I can successfully separate the Ding Gai and the Ding body, I will pay another 5 million to the National Museum as an additional reward."

"How?"

"Director Dong, are you willing to help me with this?"

Tang Yuan directly said all the conditions for the loan, and there was 2 million for the promise, and 5 million after the matter was completed, so the conditions were not rich.

When Dong Wenhui heard this, he didn't give an answer immediately, but thought for a while, and finally replied to Tang Yuan: "Tang Dong, do you have to fly to Los Angeles with our expert team?" Can you bring back the tripod-shaped bronzes, and we will separate the tripod cover and the tripod body in Yanjing? ”

"You know, our experts are all prepared by the National Museum, if they want to work abroad, all kinds of procedures are particularly troublesome, it requires many departments to approve layer by layer, and there are a lot of professional equipment, and it is also very difficult to take them out of the country."

Dong Wenhui's tone was a little embarrassed, although he didn't say it explicitly, but Tang Yuan could hear the meaning of the prevarication between the words.

"Oh......"

"So that's the case, this is what I didn't think through, since that's the case, then forget about it."

"I'll contact Director Su of the Palace Museum later, I'll see if he has time on that side, originally I also planned to successfully separate the tripod cover from the tripod body, and after taking out the things inside the tripod body, I will lease this tripod-shaped bronze to our National Museum for two years."

"Now it seems, ......"

In the end, Tang Yuan pretended to sigh.

Dong Wenhui, who was still hesitant at the beginning, heard that Tang Yuan planned to lease this tripod-shaped bronze to the National Museum for two years, and when he heard that Tang Yuan planned to ask Su Ping of the Palace Museum for help, this made his worries disappear in an instant.

"Wait!"

"Tang Dong, don't worry!"

"I said that there are a lot of troubles and difficulties, but are we people who are afraid of troubles and difficulties?"

"If there is a problem, solve the difficulty, and solve the trouble if there is a problem!"

"I should take this matter, and I will assign you manpower later, so that they can prepare to go to Los Angeles, and with the expert level of our National Museum, we will guarantee that you will separate the Ding Gai and Ding Identity without destroying the Ding Bronze itself."

Dong Wenhui saw that Tang Yuan had the intention of hanging up the phone, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and directly opened his mouth to answer the matter.

The late Spring and Autumn period of the tripod-shaped bronzes, the entire National Museum is not a few, if it can be successfully rented, it will be a huge publicity stunt, if Dong Wenhui gives this opportunity to Su Ping of the Palace Museum, then he is a pure fool.

"Director Dong, are you really not embarrassed?"

"I'm in a hurry......"

Tang Yuan said a little tactfully.

"Don't worry!"

"Give me two days!"

"Guaranteed to get them on the plane to Los Angeles!"

Dong Wenhui immediately assured in a conclusive manner.

"Okay......"

"Then I'm waiting for the good news from Director Dong."

When Tang Yuan heard this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl slightly, and then the two chatted briefly for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

"That's it!"

Successfully solving a major matter on his mind, Tang Yuan snapped his fingers lightly, and his mood could be described as quite good, so he immediately got up and came to the desk, picked up the Taoist materials he had collected, and continued to read them......
