American Fortune Life

It is also understandable to say that the British Museum strongly rejects the recourse of other countries because of the protection and cherishment of cultural relics.

The problem is that, what makes people speechless is that the British Museum’s finances have been tight for years. They simply don’t have enough money to protect these cultural relics. Not only have many precious cultural relics been damaged, but they have also been stolen.

Because of financial problems, the British Museum had no money, and installed anti-theft systems for all the showcases, so there was once an incident where 15 cultural relics from the Chinese Dynasty were stolen.

Knowing that he is incapable, but stubbornly unwilling to return the cultural relics to their original owners, this is beyond shameless.

In fact, to put it bluntly, in the final analysis, the British Museum and even the British did not take these plundered cultural relics to heart at all. They were not as grand as they said, they were showing off the brilliant world culture, but they were just showing off their glorious aggression As a result, they are just dreaming of the long-broken empire on which the sun never sets!

To be honest, it is because of these that Andy looks down on Britain. Not to mention the pain of saving face, and thinking that he has a lot of skills, in fact, he has already stepped aside from the decline of the fuck.

Well, Andy's thoughts drifted a little far, and when he came back to his senses, he said to Christian: "I know you have studied oracle bone inscriptions, and you are also an expert in this area, help me find some to enrich my collection. ,is that OK."

"Sorry, boss, I can't guarantee this. It's not a matter of money. The key is that the large oracle bones that can be seen today are basically fakes carved by the Qing Dynasty, and most of the real ones are in major museums. The forgery of oracle bones has been It has reached the point where it is fake.

There are basically three ways to forge oracle bones. The first is to make the oracle bones real and the characters are forged, and the second is to conceal the real origin of the oracle bones. The third type of oracle bones and characters are forged. There are basically no genuine oracle bone inscriptions circulating in the market, and it is very difficult to identify them.

When I was young, I reassembled a pile of scattered turtle shells in the Guimet Museum of Asian Art and translated their oracle bone inscriptions. But that was a long time ago, and I don't have that ability anymore. "

Christian shook his head helplessly and declined. Regarding the chaotic market of Oracle, he also showed regret and some resentment on his face, "This group of fake bastards not only destroyed the market of Oracle, the most important thing is that the experts are in the market. While it is difficult to identify the characters, one must also be very careful in distinguishing the authenticity from the false. It even caused many Chinese people to fundamentally question the authenticity of the oracle bone inscriptions, which is really sad.”

Andy also shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, Nima, even foreign scholars and experts believe in something, why do the people of the Celestial Dynasty want to question and deny it?

"no way,

As long as the nature of greed remains unchanged, counterfeiting methods will continue to emerge one after another, continuing to fool and mock human civilization. There are more scientific means to identify the authenticity of cultural relics in modern times. At least carbon 14 can tell the age of oracle bones. Based on your research on oracle bone inscriptions, I believe you can help me find some authentic ones. I will not force you to pay attention to this. can. "

"Okay, boss, I will do my best, but I suggest that the boss can put the main target of the collection on bronzes. Because it is a symbol of power in the Celestial Dynasty. It is also more valuable for investment and collection, and in this time period, in The purchase price is also very cost-effective." Christian, as an expert in the study of oriental cultural relics and bronzes, naturally will not miss this opportunity to influence his boss's thinking.

Andy naturally knew the status of bronze wares in the Chinese culture. These things are symbols of power and status. In ancient times, even if an ordinary person was very rich, he was not entitled to own these.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. If possible, it's better to have a baby with a clear origin and no illegal export. Since the beginning of the animal head of the Chinese zodiac, the national sentiments of the Chinese people have been stirred up. I don't want to give up because of a few Antiques affect my business in China."

Hearing the boss talking about the animal heads of the 12 zodiac signs, Christian's eyes lit up, and he suggested: "Boss, the rat heads and rabbit heads that made a lot of noise a while ago ended in farce, and these two things have returned to their original status." In the owner's hands, if you are interested, you can buy it."

"I'm not interested. It's just two copper faucets. The only value is a little historical value. The artistic value of the so-called "national treasure" is completely worthless. You will spend tens of millions of euros to buy a fountain in the Palace of Versailles." head?

The tricks of those auction houses are nothing more than stirring up the national sentiment of the Celestial Dynasty and making the local tyrants of the Celestial Dynasty take advantage of it. To be honest, these tricks of public "secondary robbery" are very shameless! Whoever lives knows what he wants. "Andy said very contemptuously.

"The refusal to pay has aroused great concern in France, and multiple 24-hour TV channels broadcast the news. Although the matter is over, the business of Christie's and even the Pinault family in China will be greatly affected. However, the other party’s refusal to pay has also caused a very bad impact, and their reputation will be hit hard. In the future, when Chinese people participate in overseas auctions, they may be required to pay a deposit.” Christian shook his head and said.

Andy narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to tap the tabletop of Napoleon's table with his fingers quickly, making a thumping sound. He knew that the Pino family finally bought these two animal heads as a public relations gift, free of charge. I have to say that these shameless French people know the truth that the person who untied the bell needs to tie it, and they can do it with one stroke.

That being the case, Andy had no choice but to step in and blackmail the Frenchman, "Well, you can find someone to talk about these two animal heads. Of course, the price is definitely not the 14 million yuan each at the auction." Euros, buy them in the name of an offshore company, and I'm going to make a quick buck with them!"

fishing!

That's right, Andy was going to fish, to catch the French who had to ease the relationship with China. Since the French wanted to rob again, then he, Andy Smith, could give the French a good fortune.

Corporate public relations, diplomatic icebreaking, the French will find that there is no gift comparable to these two animal heads!

Hearing the boss's sudden change of mind, Christian was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that the boss wanted to buy these two items in secret, "Good boss, as for the price, boss, you can rest assured that as long as these two animal heads don't have The bids from the Celestial Dynasty people are only a few million euros each, and now these two items are really a source of trouble in the hands of the original owners, in order to get rid of trouble, I think they will be willing to sell."

"Well, that's good, this matter is handled in secret, don't expose me." Andy instructed.

. . . . . .

Looking at the back of Christian leaving, the corners of Andy's mouth turned up slightly. He was very satisfied with the good things that his team had brought back for him. Without saying goodbye, plus the six or seven hundred pieces of antiques he had, I also have more than a thousand antiques from the Celestial Dynasty in my hand. The museum cannot be opened, but it is not a problem to fill a large showroom.

After flipping through the antique atlas that now belonged to him, he closed it. The smile on his face subsided, and he took another illustrated book about the cultural relics in the foot basin that he asked Christian to prepare.

Looking at the mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood five-stringed pipa, Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl, "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture", "Red and White Hibiscus Picture" and some precious national treasures such as "Sangluan Tie", which is considered to be the closest to Wang Xizhi's original work, and other precious cultural relics photos A cold light flashed in Andy's eyes.

It is impossible to buy for money. You will never spend money to buy it in this life!

So, I can only think of other ways!
