Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Everyone took a keen interest in the parchments mentioned. This is the best proof from history. After all, the Mongols' destructive and destructive power to civilization is really terrifying. As a result, the historical information of the Assassin sect is very scarce, it can be said that there is almost no information. These sheepskin scrolls bring people back to that bloody era, and at the same time they can better study that period of history.

It can be said that this information is more important than any cultural relics to Middle Eastern countries. Although Iran doesn't pay much attention to history now, it still wants to know how powerful Persia was in history. As for the Arabs, they also wanted to know clearly how Saladin captured Jerusalem and defeated the Jews.

As for the Jews, although they wanted to get the artifacts from Solomon’s Temple and the golden Ark of the Covenant, they definitely wanted to find out. What exactly did the Assassin sect do to Jerusalem back then, where was the secret passage of Joah, and what other unknown secrets were there.

Fortunately, Professor McGeed's answer still satisfied the reporter. After all, what follows will be reflected in papers and books. In other words, they have obtained the exclusive authorization from Bao Zixuan, and it is estimated that after the book is published, it will definitely push Middle Eastern culture to a new level.

At present, the ins and outs of the treasure have been basically understood. It was a cultural relic that the Assassin sect took the opportunity to seize back during the battle between Saladin and the Crusaders. However, the issue of cultural relic ownership is a very difficult matter.

These artifacts originally belonged to the Jews and should rightfully belong to Israel. But 1,000 years ago, he was brought back to the Persian Gulf by Assassin. The location where it was discovered does indeed belong to Fucairah territory; and the discoverer was also from Fucairah. So no matter from which aspect, there is no dispute about the ownership of cultural relics.

But those are the cultural relics of Solomon’s Temple and the golden Ark of the Covenant. If they were to be placed in Fucairah, an Arab country, it is estimated that the Jews around the world would not be able to accept them. Of course, the same goes for Europeans. The Holy Grail has been missing for thousands of years; now that it has been found, it must be brought back to the Vatican.

The International Institute for the Unification of Private Law's Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects will not be negotiated until ten years from now; even if it comes into effect, many countries will not comply. If this convention is really implemented, it is estimated that the so-called four major museums in the world will basically have no objects on display.

Although Bao Zixuan looked very kind, that was because his core interests were not violated. If you don't pay anything and forcefully ask for cultural relics, it is estimated that the other party will never agree.

It doesn't seem to make sense to attack Fucaira directly. Moreover, this guy has a very good relationship with the Soviets, but it will not end well when the time comes.

The New York Times, sometimes referred to as "The Times", is a daily newspaper published in New York, USA. It is distributed around the world and has a very high influence. It is a representative of high-end newspapers and serious publications in the United States and has long had good credibility and authority. . Due to its classical and serious style, it is sometimes nicknamed the "Grey Lady". Its original name was the New York Daily Times, founded by Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones.

The owner of this newspaper is a Jew; and the reporter sent this time is also of Jewish descent. Of course, I want to know how Bao Zixuan plans to deal with this batch of cultural relics.

A reporter from the New York Times stood up and asked: "How do Fucairah plan to deal with this batch of cultural relics?"

Now no one dares to naively think that cultural relics should be returned to Israel as soon as possible. There is no reason or basis at all, and the Jews cannot be so shameless.

The Assassin sect was the one who robbed Solomon's Temple, but was discovered by Bao Zixuan. And the final location was in Fucaira. Several historical experts, including two Jewish scholars, can attest. If we still want to talk about the ownership of cultural relics, then the whole world will be in chaos.

There are too many classic cases regarding problem recovery in history!

More than 200 years ago, a group of exquisite marble sculptures from the Parthenon in Greece were dismantled by the Earl of Elgin and shipped back to the UK. They were transferred to the British Museum and are stored today. The national treasure of Greece has become the treasure of the British Museum. For decades, Greece has repeatedly asked Britain to return the sculptures, but Britain has refused.

The Parthenon marble sculptures come from the Acropolis of Athens, Greece, and have a history of more than 2,500 years. In 1982, Melina Mercuri, then the Greek Minister of Culture, proposed a motion at the UNESCO General Assembly asking the British Museum to return the Parthenon stone sculptures to Greece. The request was supported by the majority of participating member representatives, but the vote was not binding on the UK. Since then, Greece has asked Britain to return the stone sculptures, but Britain has refused.

The relationship between Britain and Greece is pretty good, but even so; the other side still refuses to return the cultural relics belonging to Greece, and there is really nothing you can do against them.

However, there are two time limits for retrieving cultural relics: one is to file a lawsuit within three years after discovering the holder of the lost cultural relic and the location of the cultural relic; and in any case, the lawsuit must be filed within 50 years after the cultural relic is lost. . Another difficulty is that in order to recover cultural relics lost due to war, the individuals, organizations or countries holding the cultural relics need to recognize them and prove that these cultural relics were looted. In addition, due to the passage of time, lost cultural relics have changed hands several times; it is difficult to legally accuse the holders of cultural relics of "illegal" possession.

The cultural relics of Solomon's Temple have been lost for more than 1,000 years; if you want to bring them back directly, it is estimated that no one can do it.

The international pursuit of cultural relics has always been a long and complex process. The current ways of retrieving cultural relics lost overseas mainly include legal recourse, commercial repurchase, diplomatic negotiations, and donations. Among them, legal recourse is the most difficult. Commercial repurchase is a desperate move. Intergovernmental diplomatic negotiations and donations are also relatively common ways to return cultural relics.

Now that the legal basis is basically untenable, it can only be resolved through diplomatic channels and commercial negotiations. Fortunately, Bao Zixuan is a businessman, and the Jews themselves are not bad at wealth; I believe that some cultural relics will be returned to Israel.

At this time, everyone at the scene focused their attention on Bao Zixuan. After all, the final direction of the cultural relics was all determined by his thoughts.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "To be honest, I didn't expect this batch of cultural relics to be so important at first. I just felt that there were a lot of them and the production was relatively exquisite."

"When I first discovered the golden ark, I thought it was an ordinary gold ark, nothing special. At that time, my subordinates also said that it could be used as a dowry for my daughter. After all, in China, there is a tradition of dowrying gold and arks. Although the child is very young, Preparations usually start from birth.”

"As for the drawings of Solomon's Temple, they are even more whimsical, and I want to recreate a replica in Fucaira. However, after communicating with six experts these days, I have discovered how unrealistic these ideas are."

"The golden ark originally belonged to Solomon's Temple and should be returned to its original place. But I am a businessman and cannot make a loss-making business, so I hope to exchange a batch of cultural relics for it."

"After all, Heiyun Group has already started building a museum, and Fucairah also has the idea of ​​building a museum."

"As for other cultural relics in Solomon's Temple, the same method will be adopted. For example, this time we obtained a large number of gold coins from the Solomon period, more than 100,000 in number. It is useless to keep too many of these; I am not a miser. But it is not a good idea to auction them directly. I need that little money.”

"It is entirely possible to obtain other cultural relics through exchange. And I have decided to leave the exchange of cultural relics to Sotheby's and Christie's. This is also the fundamental reason for inviting them here. Professionals should be responsible for professional matters."

"I am a scientific researcher. I have no interest and no time to deal with cultural relics every day."

"As for the Holy Grail, I'm not sure yet whether it is real or fake. After all, the six experts around me are not particularly good at identifying Christian holy objects. If it is a fake, it will make a big joke. Therefore, I will invite The Vatican will come to authenticate it; if it is authenticated, the two parties can negotiate amicably to resolve the matter."

"If it is determined to be a fake, then I can only keep it for myself. At the same time, I will take out some items and give them to employees, relatives and friends. I am not a miser, and I will definitely share the good things I get. Of course, I came to Fucai this time Our reporter friends will not come in vain; everyone will get a silver coin from the Solomon period as a souvenir."

Bao Zixuan's answer was not perfect, but at least it was impossible to find anything wrong with it. Moreover, reporters can get a silver coin, which is considered a worthwhile trip; but they dare not ask questions that are deliberately irritating to the other party.
