Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Since the British want to empty their pockets, there is no need to be polite! It is a Chinese cultural relic, and it is indeed unfair to buy it back with money; but this is a problem left over from history. Unless Britain is completely occupied, it is absolutely impossible to get the cultural relics back without spending money!

Not to mention doing things without spending money, if Britain had not experienced so many incidents; with the urine of the British Empire, it would not be possible to sell cultural relics. A camel is so thin that it is bigger than a horse, but it is still one of the five permanent members of the United Nations; it is one of the developed countries, and it is still much stronger than many countries!

No matter how future generations evaluate it, the top priority is to bring the cultural relics back; in addition, the Arab countries should be able to bear the rain and dew after struggling for so long. Pass the intelligence directly to the Iraqi side through Baghdad's internal lines. As for what the other party will do next, it is not within the scope of Bao Shoufang's consideration!

Peng Yi was urgently transferred to fly to London, but before leaving, there was naturally some explanation!

It can be said that Peng Yifei is a brick in Heiyun. Whenever Bao Zixuan needs it, he can make it up immediately. As a bodyguard, it is not easy to be able to do this!

One advantage of Peng Yifei is that he never questions any of his boss's decisions; nor does he ask why. In his heart, he never thinks of being smarter than his boss; although it sounds simple, many people can do it if they ask themselves; but that is because they are not burdened by themselves, and things are far more complicated than imagined!

On the surface, he seems to have lost the ability to think independently, but he is the favorite subordinate of the superior; he does not need to explain too much, which can save a lot of time.

After Bao Zixuan motioned Peng Yifei to sit down, he said directly: "Four hours ago, the British Prime Minister Iron Lady called me; the meaning was very obvious, hoping to obtain a sum of funds from the Black Cloud Group."

"Of course, given the current situation, no one would be stupid enough to buy British government bonds; the Iron Lady is a smart person and will definitely not make stupid mistakes. After all, being directly rejected will not look good on both sides!"

"Offer to sell me the Chinese cultural relics in major museums in the UK!"

"The British Empire is really at the end of its rope, otherwise it would never sell cultural relics; you must know that this is also a testimony to the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets!"

"Such a good thing, I will definitely not refuse it; I still don't feel comfortable leaving it to others, so I need you to lead the team there in person!"

As Bao Zixuan's confidant general and the head of the Black Cloud Intelligence Department, he naturally knows the situation of the British Empire at this moment. To be precise, there were riots in Scotland; the Black Cloud Intelligence Department monitored the entire process.

Not participating does not mean that nothing is clear, otherwise it will be difficult to judge the situation!

Peng Yifei: "No problem!"

Short and clear; in line with Peng Yifei's consistent character!

Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "I don't care much about other items, but there are a few; I must bring them back."

"First of all, the British Imperial Museum's paintings of women's history and the Mogao Grottoes murals; as well as the Yongle Sword and the Zhizheng blue and white vase! The British will ask for a high price, but as long as it is not too outrageous, there is no problem!"

Even though he knew that he was going to be slaughtered by the British, there was no good way at the moment. On the surface, it seemed that the initiative was in his own hands, but it was not that easy for Bao Zixuan to seize it!

They are all treasures of Chinese culture and can occupy a prominent place in the entire history of mankind. Therefore, there is no need to worry about buyers, as long as the price is right; major museums and private collectors in the United States and Japan will definitely have ideas.

It will be even more difficult to bring the cultural relics back by then! You must cut through the mess quickly without giving other potential opponents any chance to take advantage!

In the past, Peng Yifei was always responsible for purchasing courtyard houses and cultural relics in Kyoto; although he didn't know much about antiques, calligraphy and paintings before. But after so many years and having participated in countless auctions, I certainly know the historical status and artistic value of some cultural relics.

I thought that my knowledge of cultural relics was no worse than that of my boss, or even better. But now it seems so ridiculous. On the surface, it seems that Mr. Bao doesn't care that much about cultural relics. After all, there are too many things that need to be dealt with every day; he simply can't care about them.

But some people are born winners and have a photographic memory; they can remember it as long as they watch it once. Obviously Bao Zixuan has this ability!

Needless to say, it goes without saying that the picture of the female historian is the best painting in China. As for the Mogao Grottoes murals, they are an eternal pain to the Chinese academic and religious circles!

The more than 700 caves of the Mogao Grottoes contain a large number of statues, murals and scriptures, which are treasures of Chinese culture; the British Museum actually has a collection of 100 Dunhuang murals; each one is exquisite and breathtaking. There are more than 40,000 scripture manuscripts in the Dunhuang Scripture Cave, and the British Museum has exclusive possession of 13,000 volumes.

Stein; British explorer and archaeologist, known as "the first person to steal treasures in Dunhuang"; he went to Dunhuang twice at the beginning of the century and bribed the Taoist priests who guarded the cave; he stole a large amount of money with only a few hundred taels of silver. In order to store murals, manuscripts and cultural relics stolen by Stein from China, the British Museum also opened a special Stein secret room.

Now that there is an opportunity, he must not miss it; Bao Zixuan may have to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels for the few hundred taels back then; but it is useless to say more, the best way is to bring things back!

There is such a sword. It weighs 3 kilograms and is 1 meter long. It is made of a single piece of iron. The entire sword is not only full of weight when held in the hand, but also very top-notch in terms of manufacturing technology and decoration.

The scabbard is decorated with staggered relief patterns, and the sword grid is carved with auspicious animals. You must know that this sword cannot be made with modern technology. It was made by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty and given to the Living Buddha. Therefore, this sword is also called "Yongle Sword".

It is a pity that such a national treasure is not in China or in the hands of the Chinese; instead, it has become a treasure of the British Museum.

According to records, the Yongle sword was forged in 1420, which was the prosperous age of Yongle. Emperor Yongle came first to show his goodwill to the living Buddha, and secondly to strengthen his rule over the border. Therefore, he specially ordered someone to make this sword as a national gift to the Living Buddha. This sword was extraordinary from the beginning. In addition to the rather complex forging process used on the sword body, the sword grid also uses intricate interlaced patterns. Considering that this sword was presented to the snow area, the top of the sword grid was specially carved into a snow lion, the local mascot, to express Emperor Yongle's importance to the snow area.

Although the Yongle sword is just a sword, its craftsmanship is complicated and the production process is complicated. The exquisiteness of the final shape is not only invisible in snowy areas, but also quite rare even in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Yongle Sword can be regarded as a unique existence in the world; in the future, China will never produce a sword more exquisite than this.

After the Qing army entered the pass, various Tibetans came to congratulate them one after another. To show their loyalty, many people came with tributes of rare treasures. Naturally, Xue District was not far behind. In order to please the emperor, the King of Tibet paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty by paying tribute to the Yongle Sword that had been collected for several years.

The emperor was naturally delighted when he saw such a beautiful sword, and from then on the sword naturally entered the Forbidden City. The sword went around and around and finally returned to the Forbidden City. I believe this is also one of the fates of the Yongle Sword.

In this way, the Yongle Sword accompanied the ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Almost all emperors loved the Yongle Sword; out of love, they only dared to admire and play with it; they would never use it for daily use, let alone give it away again.

Even successive emperors have done this, which shows how valuable and exquisite this sword is. It has therefore become one of the most precious collections of the Qing royal family, and it is also the pinnacle of ancient Chinese weapons.

The Yongle Sword was taken away by British soldiers during the Eight-Power Allied Forces' attack on Kyoto and brought back to the UK. Since then, its whereabouts have been unknown for a long time and it has disappeared from the world. The reappearance has become a treasure of the British Ordnance Museum, and its value is conservatively estimated to be no less than 20 million pounds!

Of course, such an important Chinese cultural relic was purchased by the wealthy Bao Zixuan; the price will definitely be higher! But as long as it's something that can be solved with money, in Bao's view, it's not a problem!

I originally thought that Germany had to spend a lot of money in the past, and the profits earned from the swap of two Demarks were likely to be used to purchase factories, equipment, and other items. Unexpectedly, there would be an enemy who came to the door. The Rothschild family jumped out and rushed to pay the bill! Coupled with the profits earned from Japan, there is no need to worry about insufficient funds.

Even though the construction costs of Heiyun Town continue to increase, Fucaira has been making additional investments; there is no need to worry about funds. Therefore, when buying cultural relics, your budget is very sufficient!
