Chapter 1656 Search
In the last century and early this century, too much money and resources in China were taken away by foreign invaders. Nowadays, many well-known buildings in Europe and the United States are built with compensation from that year, and history needs to be remembered.
Looking back on modern Chinese history, every time I open a page, I feel bloody and tears of humiliation, defeat, cede land, and compensation...
However, in 1836, before the Opium War, a resident of a small island, defeated the invading British colonial invaders with fearlessness, forcing them to surrender... and compensated three thousand taels of silver.
In order to allow future generations, local villagers always remember this glorious history of Yan and Huang's descendants winning against foreign invasions. They used the money as a paving road and paved a two-kilometer granite stone road.
Before the Opium War, China was always powerful in the eyes of Westerners. Foreigners came to do business and ignored them. If they could be more humble and exchanged advanced technologies with the West, history might have been rewritten.
Unfortunately, the Qing government's incompetence allowed them to see clearly the illusion of being a strong man in a big country. Being beaten only means that they are not strong enough.
Nowadays, Westerners often wonder that Chinese people always say that as long as they rise, they can stand on the top of the world again. Foreigners do not understand where they get their confidence.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of China and the United States is at least fifty years apart. Today, China's total foreign exchange reserves are about 150 billion US dollars, but Han Xuan personally has more cash flow than this number.
However, in my previous life, it was precisely because of this optimistic and upward confidence that more than one billion people burst out with strong positive energy. After the reform and opening up, it took only more than 20 years to defeat Japan and become the world's second largest economy.
He was not in a hurry to spend the funds, but was still waiting patiently, waiting for the Internet bubble crisis to break out and affect other industries. Then, with his huge cash flow, he gained an advantage in the new round of small mergers and acquisitions.
Let the three main industries of Snow Mountain Group, Star Investment, and Han Family Trust Fund take a step further, laying the industrial foundation for the next century, and the advantages brought by rebirth will disappear in more than ten years. Han Xuan doesn’t know what will happen in the future.
Because of his arrival, the world has caused a huge butterfly effect. From the copper price crisis in previous years, the Southeast Asian financial tsunami, to the recent Internet bubble, the historical process has long been different.
After Han Xuan finished speaking, Zhao Hongqi and Qiyan also felt a little moved. Chinese people always feel uncomfortable when they hear these things.
Even though I feel uncomfortable, I still have to do the job. When the bodyguards go in and search, Han Xuan also walked into the warehouse. He was like coming to the antique street, picking up the things he was interested in and watching, and Zhao Hongqi helped explain.
For example, the purple clay teapot he is holding now, Zhao Hongqi obviously felt very painful and told: "Chen Mingyuan's simple belt teapot in the early Qing Dynasty can be sold for one million people who meet the knowledgeable people!"
"Renminbi?" Han Xuan nodded and continued, "Then I will give you one million yuan. It just so happens that my old man likes to collect teapots.
Gabriel, help me take it out and find the bag, don't break it, it's valuable."
The next sentence is said in English.
Han Xuan was very happy because last time there was a pot made by Chen Mingyuan, which sold more than three million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang.
It can only be said that Zhao Hongqi does not understand the latest market. He cannot understand English and it is difficult to understand these things in Western countries. It is considered a small omission.
Zhao Hongqi looked surprised and asked Han Xuan: "Give me money?"
"Otherwise."
While speaking, Han Xuan picked up another bronze ware with a strange shape. The small tripod was engraved with a tiger pattern and said with a firm tone: "The stolen from the tomb has now returned to the original owner."
After being moved for more than ten seconds, Zhao Hongqi almost choked to death after hearing this sentence. Seeing that he really handed the small tripod to the bodyguard, he mocked: "Can the bronze tripod from the mid-Zhou Dynasty be found in the tombs of the Shang Dynasty?"
"Yes, I think it's like the Shang Dynasty."
He stopped talking about it, just to anger him, giving Zhao Hongqi hope and making him desperate. Han Xuan smiled and said, "Besides, I snatched it with my own ability, why give you money?"
“…”
I pick and pick up, and there are a lot of good things in the warehouse.
The most precious pieces placed in the corner of the wall include the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting "Flower in Love" that Emperor Qianlong liked very much, and also the round seal made by Emperor Qianlong when he was honored as the Emperor of Supreme Emperor at the age of 85. A piece of Ming Yongle blue and white Ruyi hanging shoulders and folded branches, flowers, fruit patterns, plum blossoms, which made him love them.
There were only these three items that were truly valuable. Han Xuan did not see anything that matched the one in the tomb of Emperor Xin, so he asked Zhao Hongqi to take it out quickly. He saw him walking over in a pile of scrap newspapers for a long time with a long streak of box.
Han Xuan's eyes lit up instantly, and asked the Titan to take it over. Zhao Hongqi felt distressed and twitched. He sighed deeply and told him: "Leave the big seal for me, and you can take everything else away.
I will tell you another piece of news. I heard that the head of the beast at the entrance of Haiyantang is collecting, and I know where the head of the sheep is."
“…Why are you so unpatriotic?”
This sentence made Qiyan and Zhao Hongqi confused.
Han Xuan continued, "That is a witness to the history of invasion of China. It is a shame that you actually want to use the news of the beastly head to make profits for yourself. I am so sad!"
He was really about to be furious, Zhao Hongqi blushed and said, "This is all things I collected myself! You took it away like that, and you still have the face to blame me for being unpatriotic?"
"...I picked it up with my own ability and have a clear conscience." Han Xuan made up his mind to be shameless. Look at the Qianlong Emperor's seal. His Emperor's seal has a total of more than 20 square meters, but only one is round.
"Let me do this, I will give you another Qianlong's Supreme Emperor Seal, plus five million US dollars. I will ask for all the things in this warehouse.
If you earn a little bit of money, it is considered the medical expenses of that year. And you have damaged many things in the tomb of Di Xin. According to California law, those are my private property."
Zhao Hongqi thought about it, and when he said this, he found that he really had a clear conscience when he took his own things, not to mention that he was still being controlled by Han Xuan, so he nodded with his head.
At least it’s a bit of compensation. This situation is much better than the worst scenario expected before. I’m already doing nothing, just exchange for freedom.
Han Xuan couldn't wait to open this mysterious box, but he was afraid that the things inside would turn into a pile of powder after they were opened, and his heart was like a cat scratching it, which was particularly itchy.
I asked an expert to use X-ray exploration and called the director of the California Chiefs Museum. There were the most advanced testing equipment and the experts were equipped with testing instruments. This was the most accurate way to appraise treasures.
The beast head is determined to win. I heard that it is in the treasure house of the Belgian royal family, and things have become simpler. The matter of gathering the twelve beast heads in his lifetime is written on Han Xuan’s bucket list.
After clearing the things in the garage, I sent them to the United States. I put Zhao Hongqi and Qiyan on the spot, but I couldn't leave yet because Han Xuan needed their vision of appraisal and went to the Belgian royal family's treasure house to buy some good things 8)
