Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 1225: The auction house successfully built momentum

The museum cannot afford so much money to buy back the cultural relics from them.

There are still many tombs in the country, and there is no money available for excavation work.

That's why I turned a blind eye to the native masters.

Tufuzi went to the grave just for money. Not all of them were like Lin Ran's team and had a sense of historical responsibility.

So many cultural relics have been unearthed. To put it mildly, it is for feedback to the people. Who knows whether they will fall into the hands of foreigners.

There is no way, the country has promulgated relevant laws, but the husband and wife still have the ability to take advantage of loopholes.

"You must know this better than me." Tang Lanxuan said.

Lin Ran had been following them to the tomb for a year, and he already had a preliminary understanding of the practices of the native masters in the country.

The Tufuzi had a large number of people and their teams were scattered, especially the northern sect’s approach, which he did not agree with. However, their influence among the people was greater than that of the southern sect.

The treasures in the tomb were either taken away by them or destroyed by them.

If they end up in the secondhand market or in the hands of individual collectors, they have no circulation at all and the cultural relics are lost.

Not to mention the countless cultural relics lost overseas in the past few decades.

Of course, it is not just a problem for ordinary people. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory.

Tang Lanxuan believes that instead of spending a lot of money to repurchase cultural relics from the private sector, it is better to start with education and cultivate relevant awareness among them. Then the people will hand over cultural relics with historical significance.

I think the focus should be on recovering lost treasures.

Therefore, the Special Investigation Bureau was established.

The Ministry of Culture and Literature is also working towards this end.

Of course Lin Ran knew this. The Ministry of Chinese Language and Literature even asked him to establish good relations with members of the four families and get funds from them.

It can be seen that it is not easy to do this business. It is difficult to recover lost cultural relics from abroad.

This time it’s just a strip of neon. Europe and the United States are thousands of miles apart, so I don’t know how much effort it will take.

"In fact, not only the Ministry of Culture and Culture, but also our museum will regularly arrange some investigators to travel to foreign countries. In fact, they will be asked to investigate Chinese cultural relics in various places."

Tang Lanxuan told Lin Ran that he couldn't help but remind Lin Ran of the researcher from the National Museum of China whom he met in Hong Kong City.

Specialized teams are dispatched to collect cultural relics around the world.

The idea is very good, and it is more in line with the concept of small-scale operation. There is no need to cultivate a team.

However, the smaller the operation, the more general the effect will be.

Except for museums, most people have no way to learn about local underground auctions, and it is impossible to compete with them at high prices.

Even if they know that a lot of things come from China, they have legitimately collected them. Unless they break up with them, it will be difficult to get them back directly.

Lin Ran remembered that when these countries were in financial crisis in previous lives, they would negotiate with Chinese personnel.

Ask them to invest heavily in buying their junk assets and return some cultural relics to them as gifts.

This shameless behavior is what makes them rich.

We don’t even buy into the future. Now that cultural relics-related departments have limited funds, people don’t even spend money to do this kind of thing.

"I mentioned Gu Kaizhi to you just now. In fact, his "Admonitions of Women's History" is collected in the British Museum. It is known as one of the top ten famous paintings in China." Tang Lanxuan shook his head when he mentioned this.

It feels very regrettable. Compared with the unknown works of the Tang Dynasty, famous paintings handed down from ancient times are more valuable for collection. It is a pity that if they are taken away, they belong to others, and there is no reason to explain.

"What is collected in the British Museum is actually not the original work, but a copy from the Tang Dynasty." Lin Ran said.

"Oh? Have you seen it?" Tang Lanxuan was a little surprised.

It is not easy to go abroad now, and you must have a suitable reason.

Given Lin Ran's grade, there was no way he would be sent abroad.

Lin Ran didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he just smiled and said, "I have a French partner who told me."

"Has he studied this very deeply?"

"Average, but better than ordinary people, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with that." Lin Ran quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah." Tang Lanxuan knew that Lin Ran still had something to say, but he didn't intend to delve deeper.

He looked back at Wu Daozi's work and said with a smile: "If you auction it off, I believe your auction house will soon become widely known."

"Lend your blessings."

Although this work by Wu Daozi did not leave a name in his previous history.

But Lin Ran still gave him a name.

Wu Daozi's reputation is not inferior to that of Gu Kai.

Therefore, most people came to this auction for this work.

As for other auction items, the auction house gave a more detailed introduction.

There is still one week left, and the pat session will officially begin.

This should be the largest auction in the capital this year, and even Mayor Gu asked about the progress from time to time.

"The work should be authentic, please keep it properly." Before leaving, Tang Lanxuan made one final statement.

"I will definitely do it." Wu Ning quickly replied.

Although Tang Lanxuan came to visit in private this time and did a certain amount of confidentiality.

In the end, he was recognized, and when leaving the auction house, someone saw Tang Lanxuan.

"If it's broken now, some people will definitely think that I have authenticated that batch of cultural relics." Tang Lanxuan said with a half-smile.

"Disciple will explain it to you." Lin Ran said.

"It's not necessary, I can just join in the fun." Tang Lanxuan said with a smile, "Anyway, I didn't say whether it was genuine or fake."

After arriving at the door of the auction house, Tang Lanxuan drove away alone.

Lin Ran returned to the office and sat in his seat thinking hard for a long time.

Indeed, once the treasure hunt is over, we should focus on recovering cultural relics from abroad.

He has not been paying attention to Ham's market recently, but judging from the amount of goods taken from the factory, his side should be developing well, and he is requesting more and more goods.

He plans to wait for a while and visit France with a business visa.

The auction house has opened and the first auction will begin next week.

Many collectors gathered in the capital unknowingly.

After all, Wu Daozi's paintings are going to be auctioned, which will not only cause a sensation in the entire antique world, but also the calligraphy and painting world.

"Is it really the work of Wu Daozi?"

"It's not clear from the photo, but I heard that this auction house is a unit supported by the capital, so it shouldn't be a fraud, right?"

"It goes without saying that Tang Lanxuan visited the auction house some time ago."

"Tang Lanxuan, who is it?"

"Director of the National Palace Museum! Zulong Auction House must have been under a lot of pressure during this period."

"why?"

"Is it possible for the museum to let a rubbing of this level go? Tang Lanxuan must have put pressure on him."
