Chapter 532: Rose purple glaze water chestnut water fairy basin?I want a national treasure!
"Mr. Reddy, there are some unspoken things. What cultural relics do you want me to get this time?"
After some mutual testing, Leidy felt that Lin Ran had given in.
Lin Ran also took advantage of the situation, showing a reluctant but forced attitude of cooperating with the other party.
These bandits like to play with people's hearts.
"Refreshing. Recently, a cultural relic was exhibited in the Palace Museum. It's called a rose purple-glazed water chestnut pot. It was originally paired with the sky blue-glazed purple-red spotted chicken heart jar in our museum." Reddy put out his cigar, looked around, and said nobody else.
So, he confidently stated his needs.
The rose-purple glazed rhombus water fairy basin is the pinnacle representative work of ancient Jun porcelain during the Northern Song Dynasty.
In 2010, the market estimated that a rose-purple glazed caltrop water fairy basin was auctioned for 300 million pounds, which is 700 million pounds in Chinese currency. It is a national treasure-level cultural relic!
It should have been collected in the British Royal Museum.
But after rebirth, the narcissus basin returned to the Chinese Museum by chance.
Everything originated from the war period. A large number of cultural relics from China were resold and donated to foreign countries by a businessman named Lu.
Museums in various European countries have received generous donations from Lu Qinzhai.
In recognition of his achievements, the British Royal Museum also awarded him a special medal.
This unique medal was specially designed to honor museum donors.
Lu Qinzhai's full name is also engraved on the medal, and "Friends of the Royal Museum" is written in English below to thank him for his contribution to the British Museum.
The donated cultural relics allowed him to obtain permanent residence in a foreign country.
However, China lost these cultural relics, even if China sent envoys and was willing to redeem the cultural relics from museums in various countries at high prices.
But the Europeans showed a bandit side and refused to admit their guilt at all.
In addition, Europe had previously formed a coalition to sack the Old Summer Palace.
As a result, many of China's national treasures and cultural relics have become collections in museums in other countries.
In fact, apart from the museum, nothing in the British Museum is their own!
Of course, the library in Japan is also in the same category!
Disgraceful!
After being reborn, Lin Ran met Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao, and planned to use their knowledge to establish good relations with foreign friends and find a way to exchange the cultural relic civet cat for the prince.
Opening a chain store to make money is also one of their plans!
The Reddy in front of them was the first step of their plan.
If we don't use any means, I don't know how much time and money the country will need to bring back the things Lu Qinzhai sold abroad.
Because the museums that occupy Chinese antiques do not sell cultural relics at all, although they also know in their hearts that these are stolen goods and were defrauded from China.
Completely ignoring their so-called civilization and etiquette, the robbers' faces are clearly revealed!
"Where is the rose-purple glazed caltrop water fairy basin?" Lin Ran asked.
"Mr. Lin, you are working in the National Palace Museum, do you still need to ask me?" Reddy said with a smile.
"Well, I can only say that I will try my best. After all, it is a national treasure, and the guards must be tighter. A new security system was introduced some time ago." Lin Ran thought to himself, since it is a rose purple glaze water chestnut basin, it should be in the Northern Song Dynasty Porcelain District .
"Don't worry, after everything is done, I guarantee that you will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth." Lei Di casually gave Lin Ran a wad of banknotes, "Here is 1000 yuan for you to manage the relationship. There is no room for error in this matter. It will be done." After that, come find me at No. 105 Xidan."
Of course, stealing cultural relics from other countries cannot be traded in the embassy.
Once discovered, it is likely to escalate into a national conflict.
Therefore, he specially rented a house to use as a trading location.
They stood up and left Lin Ran's house in a swaggering manner.
After they left, Yang Jianlong asked cautiously: "Godfather, what should we do?"
"What should I do?" Lin Ran sneered, "Don't you make money by sending it to your door?"
"But..." He glanced out the window and saw their retreating figures, then whispered: "But we don't know how to fake Jun Kiln products."
Jun kiln is one of the five famous porcelains in ancient China. It is famous for its colorful and versatile kiln.
The production of Jun kiln porcelain and Tang Sancai are completely different, and Yang Jianlong's worries are not unreasonable.
But as long as it is porcelain, Wei Chengbin is good at it.
Lin Ran also knew that there was no further delay. This time it was Reddy's repurchase. As long as this task was completed, the trust between them would be greatly improved, which would provide help for the civet cat to replace the prince plan later.
Moreover, if the other party takes a fancy to this cultural relic, even if they don't come to them, they will find a way to get it through other means.
Even after the founding of China, there would be some insiders who would secretly sneak cultural relics out of the museum and end up at auctions.
It was not until a complete monitoring system was established that the crime of self-theft was significantly reduced.
The other party comes to you first, which is obviously because they trust them!
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as we can see the finished product, we will have a way to imitate it." Lin Ran trusted Wei Chengbin very much.
Seeing Lin Ran's confident look, Yang Jianlong felt slightly relieved.
"Shall we go to the museum now?"
"No, they haven't gone far yet. We'll go there tomorrow." Lin Ran didn't want to be exposed so soon.
Moreover, if you want to play the role of a band of thieves, you still need to maintain some "reservation" and not just take action immediately after receiving the mission.
After returning that night, his parents were particularly worried about Lin Ran and asked about the foreigner's origins.
Unlike ordinary villagers, they think it is an honor to have contact with foreigners.
After all, Lin Ran helped the national archeology some time ago and also collected some cultural relics.
Foreigners were looking for him, obviously because of cultural relics and state secrets, so his parents were a little worried.
"Xiaoran, the family is not short of money. Don't forget the national interests for the sake of money!" Father Lin said meaningfully.
Although their family is not rich and their parents have little education, their patriotism is evident.
"Don't worry, parents, I won't do it." Lin Ran explained, "They just want to cooperate with my store and sell some handicrafts."
After hearing this, they felt relieved and relieved.
"So, your store is going to be spread all over the world?"
"That's right!" Lin Ran nodded.
After that, they did not bring up the topic again. Instead, they ate happily as a family and discussed the finishing work of the house.
In order not to worry his parents, Lin Ran deliberately said that it was a cooperation with a handicraft store.
But he knew that this cooperation would be more or less risky.
Because the other party even sent out a first-level appraiser!
No flaws were identified in previous cultural relics because they do not yet have advanced instruments that can detect the specific age through carbon elements.
But that doesn't mean they don't have suspicions. The purpose of sending a first-level appraiser this time is to conduct appraisal as soon as possible after Lin Ran brings the cultural relics.
In other words, it will not be easy to hide the truth this time!
