To say that the British Museum is out of the protection and value of cultural relics, it can be understood that Ying's strong attitude is to refuse the recourse of all countries.
The problem is that people are speechless. The British Museum has been in financial crisis for years. They don't have enough money to protect these cultural relics. They not only damage many precious cultural relics, but also steal them.
Because of financial problems, the British Museum has no money, and all the Exhibition cabinets are equipped with anti-theft systems, so there was a time when 15 pieces of Chinese cultural relics were stolen.
It is no longer shameless to know that you have no ability but are reluctant to return the cultural relics to the owner.
In fact, in the final analysis, these plundered cultural relics, the British Museum, and even the British people did not pay attention to them at all. They are not, as they say, showing off the brilliant world culture, but showing off their brilliant achievements of aggression and making a dream of a long broken empire!
To tell you the truth, Andy can't see Britain because of this. If he wants to live in face and suffer, he feels that he has a lot of skills. In fact, TM's decline has already come to a close.
Well, Andy's mind drifted a little far away. When he was back, he said to Christian, "I know you have studied Oracle, and you are expert in this field. Help me find some to enrich my collection, no problem."
"I'm sorry, boss, I can't guarantee that it's not a matter of money. The key point is that the large pieces of oracle bones that can be seen now are basically fakes made in the Qing Dynasty, while the real ones are mostly in museums, and the forgery of oracle bones has reached a level of falsification.
There are basically three ways to forge oracle bones, the first is true, the word is forged, and the second is to conceal the real origin of oracle bones. The third kind of oracle bones and characters are forged. At present, the oracle bone inscriptions circulating in the market are basically not authentic, and it is very difficult to distinguish them.
When I was young, I reorganized a pile of scattered tortoise shells in Jimei Asian Art Museum and translated the contents of their oracle bone inscriptions. But it's a long time ago. Now I don't have the ability to do it. "
Christian shook his head helplessly and declined. He also expressed regret and some resentment on Oracle's chaotic market. "These fake bastards not only damaged Oracle's market, but most importantly, experts should be very careful to identify the truth when they are struggling to identify the text. It's sad that many people in China questioned the authenticity of Oracle. " What ancient Chinese literature search make complaints about
Andy, who is helpless to shake his head. Nima is not convinced by foreign scholars and experts. Why do Chinese people have to question their own negatives?
"No way, as long as the nature of greed remains unchanged, the means of fraud will emerge one after another, and continue to fool and ridicule human civilization. There are more scientific means to identify the authenticity of modern cultural relics. At least carbon 14 can identify the age of oracle bones. With your research on oracle bones, I believe you can help me to find some authentic ones. I don't insist on that. Just pay attention to them. "
"Well, boss, I'll do my best, but I suggest that the main goal of the collection should be bronze. Because it's a symbol of power in China. It's also more valuable for investment and collection, and at this time, it's also very cost-effective in terms of the purchase price. " Christian, as an expert in the study of Oriental relics and bronzes, naturally won't let go of the opportunity to influence his boss's ideas.
Andy naturally knows the position of bronze ware in the Chinese culture. These things are symbols of rights and status. In ancient times, even a common people was very rich, but they were not qualified to have these things.
"Yes, I'll give it to you. If you can, it's better to have a baby with a clear path and no illegal export. Since the beginning of the twelve zodiac animals, the national mood of the Chinese people has been stirred up. I don't want to affect my business in China because of several antiques."
Hearing the boss talking about the animal head of the 12 Chinese zodiac, Christian's eyes couldn't help brightening. He suggested: "boss, the rat head and the rabbit head, which had been making a lot of noise a while ago, ended up in farce. These two things are back in the hands of the original owner. If you are interested, you can buy them."
"I'm not interested. It's just two copper faucets. The only value is a little historical value. The so-called" national treasure "art value is not worth mentioning. Would you spend tens of millions of euros to buy a fountain head of Versailles Palace?
The tactics of those auction houses are nothing more than to stir up the national mood of the Chinese government and make the local tyrants of the Chinese government be the unjust leaders. To be honest, the public "second plunder" tactics are shameless! Whoever lives knows what he wants. " Andy said with great disdain.
"The refusal to pay has attracted a lot of attention in France, and the news has been broadcast on several 24-hour TV channels. Although the business of Christie's and Pinot's family in China will be greatly affected by the end of the event, the refusal of the other party to pay will also have a bad impact on their reputation. In the future, when the Chinese participate in overseas auctions, they may be required to pay a deposit. " Said Christian, shaking his head.Andy narrowed his eyes, and his fingers began to tap the tabletop of Napoleon's used table quickly, making a clattering sound. He knew that at last the Pinot family bought the two animal heads, as a public relations gift, and donated them to the Chinese court for free. It must be said that these shameless French people knew the truth of the people who had to tie the bell to clear the bell, and also counted with one stroke.
In this case, Andy had to step in and blackmail the French. "So, you can talk to someone about these two animal heads. Of course, the price is not 14 million euros for each of them at the auction. I'm going to buy them in the name of an offshore company. I'm going to make a quick profit with them!"
Fishing!
That's right. Andy is going to fish for the French who have to ease relations with China. Since they want to rob the French twice, Andy Smith can do a good job.
Corporate public relations, diplomatic ice breaking, the French will find that there is no gift comparable to these two beast heads!
When hearing the boss's sudden change of mind, Christian was slightly shocked at first, but soon understood that the boss wanted to purchase these two things secretly. "Good boss, as for the price, boss, you can rest assured that as long as there is no bidding between the two animal heads, each one is only a few million euros. Now these two things are really a source of trouble in the hands of the original owner, In order to get rid of the trouble, I think they will be willing to sell. "
"Well, that's good. It's a secret matter. Don't expose me." Andy said.
。。。。。。
Looking at the back of Christian's departure, Andy's mouth is slightly cocked up. He is very satisfied with the good things that his team has brought back to him. If he doesn't say goodbye, plus his 6700 pieces of antiques, he has more than 1000 pieces of Chinese antiques in his hand. The museum can't open, but it's no problem to enrich a large exhibition room.
He looked through the antique atlas that now belongs to him again and then closed it. The smile on his face converged. He took another Atlas about the Chinese relics in the foot basin that he asked Christian to prepare.
Looking at some precious photos of national treasure level cultural relics, such as mother of pearl, red sandalwood, five string pipa, Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl, Xiaoxiang sleeper map, red and white Hibiscus map, and Tang model book mourning post, which is considered to be the closest to Wang Xizhi's real work, Andy's eyes flashed a cold light.
It's impossible to buy with money. I won't pay for it in my life!
So, I can only think of other ways!
