Chapter 153 6.6 million euros
Li Zhe smiled and said, "I'm the first time I'm traveling to the Czech Republic. I'm not familiar with the place. I don't know how to contact the relevant departments or museums, so I want my embassy to help me contact me."
He paused and said, "I checked online that these silver coins were dinar silver coins from the Roman period. The current market value is more than 4,000 euros per piece. These silver coins alone are worth more than 6 million euros. Those gold coins are also an ancient gold coins, which are also valuable."
"More than 6 million euros?" Secretary Tan was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Student Li, are you sure? Such things cannot be joked about."
"I'm sure!" Li Zhe said firmly.
In fact, Li Zhe was not sure how much these cultural relics were worth. The silver dinar coins were worth more than 6 million euros, which he saw in that news.
But he must say that the value is higher, otherwise it will be difficult to attract the attention of the embassy.
Secretary Tan thought about it carefully and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to tell our director."
After saying that, Secretary Tan asked Li Zhe to wait here, but he went to the office in the inner room.
More than ten minutes later, Li Zhe met another first-class secretary named Chen.
Secretary Chen’s enthusiastic expression is the unshirkable responsibility of the embassy to help overseas citizens solve various practical difficulties encountered.
...
It was not until after 12 o'clock that Li Zhe walked out of the embassy.
The embassy agreed to send someone to help contact the Bilson Municipal Government and the museum, so there should be no problem in the follow-up handling of this matter.
Seeing that the matter was resolved and a huge bonus was about to be obtained, he suddenly felt in a great mood.
Just as he returned to the hotel, Li Zhe was stopped by the front desk.
"Sir, please wait a moment, your friend has left you a message." The female front desk said in English.
Li Zhe suddenly realized something, and his mood was not so good in an instant.
"Where is my friend?"
"She checked out and left you a note and asked me to pass it on to you."
She left anyway!
Li Zhe sighed in his heart and took the note from the female front desk.
Before he went to the embassy, he saw that Xu Yisha was in a wrong mood and might leave, so he indirectly said something to keep her. But now it seemed useless, so she left.
"Li Zhe, if I have something to do at home, I will go back to China early. Let's see you again if we have the chance!"
Goodbye if you are destined to be?
Li Zhe shook his head and put away the notes.
Xu Yisha didn't know how to choose, so she chose to escape. If he didn't go to find her, the two of them would end.
Maybe both sides calm down.
His relationship with Xu Yisha was too sudden and had no emotional foundation.
Xu Yisha may have a little liked him, but it was more impulsive.
And he was just thinking about sex.
He wanted to keep her, but more because of possessiveness and responsibility.
But Li Zhe understood even more that he could not keep every girl who had sex, which was unrealistic.
However, after a while, he still has to meet Xu Yisha and complete the relationship.
No longer worrying about emotional issues, Li Zhe focused all his energy on the follow-up treatment of treasures.
That afternoon, he took all the gold and silver coins to the embassy again. After Secretary Chen confirmed that the situation was indeed true, he arranged for Secretary Tan to be responsible for the matter.
Accompanied by Secretary Tan, Li Zhe contacted the cultural relics department of Bilson City and the local museum.
After identification by archaeological experts, these coins were dinar currency from the late 15th century to the early 16th century. Archaeologists in the Czech Republic had never dug so many ancient coins, usually one or two.
In other words, these coins, except for the name Dinar, have no dime to do with the Dinar currency in the Roman period, and Li Zhe guessed it wrong.
According to auction experts from the cultural relics department, an 16th-century Hungarian dinar silver coin is currently worth as high as 4,000 euros (30,000 yuan), which means that these 1,567 silver coins are worth more than 6.2 million euros, and more than 47 million yuan.
The value of gold coins is higher. The current market value is around 15,000 euros (115,000 yuan), with 27 gold coins worth a total of more than 400,000 euros and more than 3.1 million yuan.
The total value of these coins is as high as 6.6 million euros, equivalent to more than 50 million yuan.
In addition, after archaeologists visited the treasure discovery site and on-site investigation, they judged that these coins should have been buried in a hurry by the war refugees. The buried person did not retrieve the coins and was probably killed. Therefore, these coins have nothing to do with the monastery.
These coins are important historical relics of the Czech Republic and cannot be taken abroad by Li Zhe.
According to the Czech Cultural Heritage Regulations, all coins will be collected in museums, and Li Zhe, as the discoverer of coins, will receive a bonus of 100% of the market value of these currencies, which is more than 6.6 million euros.
In fact, Li Zhe is a bit in vain.
After communicating with the Czech cultural relics department, he realized that the Czech cultural relics protection awareness was very strong.
The Ministry of Culture spends a large amount of money every year to protect cultural heritage and ancient buildings. Last year, the Ministry of Culture applied for $100 million in funding for the restoration and construction of the National Museum and the National Library.
Simply put, the cultural relics department is not short of money. Even if Li Zhe directly calls the cultural relics department and the museum after discovering the treasure, he will not be able to hide his bonus.
However, even if Li Zhe chose again, he would contact the embassy first.
Although the reward agreement for historical relics discovery has been signed, it will take some time to arrive. After all, it is not possible to complete the specific value of this currency in three or two days, and it is estimated that it will take at least ten days.
Li Zhe had no intention of waiting in the Czech Republic, so he told Secretary Tan that he wanted to go home for the New Year first and entrust him with the follow-up procedures.
After signing the reward agreement, Li Zhe also met with the ambassador.
In order to thank the embassy for his help, he proposed to donate a batch of office equipment to the embassy after receiving the bonus, but the ambassador said that it was not necessary, as long as he paid taxes as usual.
Citizens also have to pay taxes for accidental income overseas. After Li Zhe received the bonus of more than 50 million, he estimated that he would pay more than 9 million in taxes. This is because overseas income has a certain tax exemption limit and some tax exemptions are exempted, otherwise he would have to pay more.
In addition, the ambassador hopes that Li Zhe can hand over the foreign exchange to the country as a foreign exchange reserve after receiving the bonus.
It is said that it is handed over to the country, but it is actually sold to the country and exchanged the euro for RMB of equivalent value.
