“Well, because some mobs have attacked and ransacked the National Museum.” Guo Tailai’s face is not red-hearted and explains: “Americans believe that these precious historical and cultural heritages should be protected. They know that I like some sculptures and paintings. Artistic things, so I gave some relatively bulky gifts in the name of local souvenirs as a gift."
A dozen professors listened to Guo Tailai’s words, and in fact they were in a mood that they didn’t know what to say. Guo Tai is so clear, can you still understand what is going on? The place is now in a mess, and it is a certain thing to rob the museum. It is the so-called "protection" in this name. Is it really protection? Native products? Who is this joke?
They are all Chinese people. Especially these people are still studying history. Can you understand the history of China? What happened to the Iraqi National Museum and what happened to the Yuanmingyuan in China?
"So, is it right?" A professor looked at Guo Tailai and asked him a question.
"Wait a while, wait for their political situation to stabilize, I will donate these things back." Guo Tailai first explained his position: "We will not keep other people's things. If I don't accept them, these things may be the result. Still missing, and finally appearing in the black market or appearing at an auction for decades, no one can guarantee."
"In addition, our country's top management knows this." Guo Tailai explained to everyone: "So you acquiesced in these things, and you don't have to worry about government issues."
This made a dozen professors feel better and had a smile on their faces. We don't greedy other people, keep them for them when they are suffering, and wait until the political situation is stable and go back, very good! At least everyone can accept this treatment.
"However, a lot of things that are packaged and sent over, on the one hand, I don't know the true and false of these things, so I need the teachers to work hard to help identify them. When they don't get back, when they donate, they look like fakes. Guo Tailai went on to explain: "In addition, how these things should be kept in order to be protected from erosion, these teachers need to give their hard work."
"Since this is the case, then we naturally do our best." Professor Li of Gusu University said with a smile. For this purpose, everyone is justified and not guilty.
"Of course, during the custody, these things can be studied casually, as long as they do not conduct destructive research. Well, some of them are fragmented. You need to study in depth to refer to those fragments." Guo Tailai also said with a smile: "When? Yes, there are all living and working facilities here, so come over."
“Xiao Guo!” A professor at Shuimu University screamed very kindly: “It’s no problem to identify and keep these, but our research may need to bring some graduate or doctoral students together, can you?”
The professor asked questions that everyone wanted to know. The professors have no problem working, and there is no problem in doing research. However, during the research period, some professional assistants are definitely needed. By themselves, there will be some shortcomings in time and physical strength. If you can bring a few graduate students to study together, that is the best. And there are so many artifacts here, I am afraid I can produce a lot of results.
“Yes!” Guo Tailai thought for a moment and nodded directly: “But each teacher can only bring up to three assistants, and they also have to sign a confidentiality agreement.”
"This is no problem!" It is natural to be able to bring an assistant. Moreover, the living facilities here are so advanced, all kinds of arrangements, just to be kept secret within a few years, certainly no problem.
I got the consent of Guo Tailai and everyone was very happy. Now everyone's mind is no longer on Guo Tailai's body. How to get these things is even more unattended. Anyway, the top leaders of the country know that it is definitely no problem. What are you most interested in now? What are these things? How to protect? What kind of research can I do? Does it help my research direction? Or what new topics can be developed? This is the most primitive mentality in the face of these precious cultural relics.
You know, this is a treasure that is usually found in the National Museum of Iraq. Where can I have such a face-to-face observation and study on weekdays? Not to mention that Iraq is now politically unstable, and there are various war guerrillas. Even if the political situation is stable, can there be such a large-scale cultural relics open to everyone to let everyone study in such a comfortable environment? Can there be that beautiful thing?
"Everything is here?" Professor Li asked again.
This floor of the exhibition hall, there are thousands of square meters, looking at the past, all of them are all kinds of tightly packed wooden boxes of various sizes. This number is really quite a lot, which is amazing.
"Hey!" Under the watchful eyes of a dozen professors, Guo Tailai could only smile and replied: "There are three layers in total. This is only the first floor. The total number is about 70,000. It may take a long time to sort out the identification. ""
There are not even half of the layers of the open package, and there are two and a half layers left, and now it is open with large pieces, more than 70,000 pieces, and there are definitely a lot of small pieces behind. If this is an identification one by one, I am afraid that it will take a year or two to identify it.
The professors were all scared. Pulling 70,000 artifacts directly from other people's national museums? Exaggerated, right? What is Guo Tailai doing this, can the American soldiers be so diligent?
"Everyone, we have to make a plan first!" In addition to the fright, more than a dozen professors have taken care of Guo Tailai, gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with these things.
Everyone does not have to fight for anything, more than 70,000 pieces of cultural relics, it is estimated that it can cover all people's research topics more than enough, what to grab? A dozen people plus three graduate students per person, a total of more than 30. One person identifies ten pieces of cultural relics a day, and two hundred days of non-stop work. And when everyone can come when they can't come, they are not sure, so these things definitely need a detailed work plan.
"Fifi, are you still curious?" A dozen professors have ignored themselves. Guo Tailai did not bother their work enthusiasm, turned to Chu Fei, and asked with a smile.
The last time I moved, Chu Fei was very curious, and now she finally let her know some of the answers.
Chu Fei does not look at cultural values like those experts. She appreciates more of a unique ethnic style, which is also very useful for a designer. In front of these Iraqi national treasures, Chu Fei looked at it with relish.
Looking at Chu Fei's beautiful side face, Guo Tailai found that he couldn't ignore this beautiful face.
"Fifi, remember that I promised you, would you like to make a ring of all diamonds?" Guo Tailai asked in a heart, directed at Chu Fei.
