Chapter 239 If you want to immigrate in the future, please contact me.
Two days passed by in a flash, and Cai Yan also went to Shaanxi as scheduled for cultural relics exchange, and at the same time took away a batch of porcelain from the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Ran's transaction also went ahead as scheduled.
I called John in advance and then walked into the embassy in a big way.
However, for the sake of acting, Lin Ran followed Yang Jianlong and pretended that Yang Jianlong was the big boss.
"Welcome, friend of the Zulong Chamber of Commerce." John behaved like a British gentleman and hugged them one after another.
But Yang Jianlong was disgusted. The smell of perfume on his body was too strong, just like a girl's.
Yang Jianlong and Lin Ran were sitting on the sofa. Before entering, Lin Ran told Yang Jianlong to appear more arrogant and domineering, so that he would be more like the leader of a band of thieves.
Yang Jianlong can only return to his original appearance.
"Mr. John, Mr. Reddy, I have brought you what you want." Yang Jianlong put the black cloth on the coffee table, but his hand never left.
Leidy wanted to take it over and take a look, but Yang Jianlong had no intention of letting go.
"Mr. Yang, what do you mean?" Reidy asked with a frown. Didn't he call him to come over to inspect the goods?
"Do you really understand Tang Ci? It's better to hire professionals to save us time." Yang Jianlong said to him unceremoniously.
John and Reddy looked at each other and felt that Yang Jianlong seemed a little different from before.
They also explored the Palace Museum during this period. About two weeks ago, someone did come up with a celadon water fountain with the help of the staff of the Palace Museum.
But now, where the celadon water fountain was originally placed, the words "Suspended Exhibition" have been hung.
This means that the exhibit is now no longer in the Palace Museum.
But their personalities are not that easy to trust others. Even if the celadon water dropper disappears, they dare not stop trusting the two men in front of them.
Unexpectedly, the other party became arrogant.
John smiled: "You're right, we really should find professionals to inspect the goods."
So he shook the bell in his hand.
A man wearing a tuxedo, a luxury brooch on his chest, and gold-rimmed glasses walked up and bowed to John.
"No introduction is necessary. Anyway, this is a professional treasure appraiser. Don't try to fool me with anything. Otherwise, I will make you pay the price, just like your country back then. Do you understand?" John said When he said this, his smiling expression suddenly changed.
There was a sinister smile on his face, full of threats.
Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong both felt disdain in their hearts, thinking that it was Hua Xia who had been bullied by others in the past.
The reason why Yang Jianlong was asked to act more arrogant and domineering was because he didn't want to be angry.
"That means this business can't be done?" Yang Jianlong's expression changed, "I brought you the things. Is this your business attitude?"
Yang Jianlong took the things into his arms, so he was not in a hurry.
The British Museum has been coveting this thing for a long time, and it must be impatient to get it, otherwise it would not have made such a stupid move and asked someone to steal it directly.
Since this is an embassy, they are not worried that the other party will use dirty tricks.
This may escalate into an international dispute, and Daying's face will be completely lost. The people in Daying have a good reputation, at least on the surface they will not break up with them.
John forced a smile and said: "In business negotiations, my tone just now was a bit too much. Can I apologize?"
Reddy lowered his head next to him. John was such a proud person that he would actually bow to him.
He is not a broad-minded person, and this account must be written on his head.
The more Reddy thought about it, the more scared he became. If he had known better, he would not have done this smooth favor.
"Is it so difficult to say I'm sorry?" Yang Jianlong said unreasonably.
The corners of John's mouth twitched, and he said the three words "I'm sorry" with a smile.
"That's pretty much it." Yang Jianlong put down the celadon water fountain, and the man with gold-rimmed glasses immediately opened the black cloth bag.
Green glaze carved with lotus pattern and water injection are clearly displayed in front of you.
The man with glasses was also slightly stunned. After working for John for so many years, he had always heard John talking about this cultural relic. He often lamented that one of the six items was missing, just like a person's body was missing a piece.
Now that the final accessories are in sight, no wonder he is willing to lower his proud head.
No, the man with eyes remembers that this cultural relic is collected in the Palace Museum. It is a treasure of the museum. How could it appear here?
He took out a photo from his pocket. It was the British spy who used a pinhole camera to take pictures of the green glaze with lotus pattern water injection from different angles.
As a Chinese, his grandfather was engaged in the cultural relics business, so he was exposed to Chinese cultural relics since he was a child. Therefore, he was appreciated by John and became his personal appraiser.
Comparing the photos, every detail is exactly the same, including the traces of the repairs that were carried out just three months ago.
Not to mention holding it in your hand, this kind of feel is completely cold that can only be brought by thousands of years of porcelain.
Looking at the pattern on the surface, it is obviously made by a famous artist and is absolutely extraordinary!
The man with glasses could only identify it to this extent, but he still had to do some cutscenes. He put on gloves and turned the water bottle over and over to look at it several times.
Lin Ran saw through this amateurish move at once.
Yang Jianlong couldn't stand the Chinese people working for the foreign devils, and asked impatiently: "Have you finished reading? I thought you were looking at pictures of girls."
The man with the eyes turned a little red. He wished that the product in his hand was a fake, so that he would have an excuse to beat up the two guys in front of him.
It's a pity that in the face of absolute strength, there is no if!
After being laughed at by Yang Jianlong, he put the water bottle back on the coffee table, and then said to John: "Mr. John, this is the real thing."
"Of course it's genuine. Who do you think we are?" Yang Jianlong said pretending to be angry.
John was overjoyed. During this period, he also investigated the whereabouts of the water injector that was originally in the Palace Museum. Since Yang Jianlong and the others visited, the water injector has never appeared again.
After all, how could the whereabouts of the Forbidden City personnel be told to foreigners?
John is no longer dissatisfied. As long as he can bring these cultural relics back, the curator of the British Museum will definitely reward him. This small amount of money and the loss of face just now are nothing.
John burst out laughing: "As expected of the Zulong Chamber of Commerce! I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"If you want to cooperate in the future, you'd better show some sincerity." Yang Jianlong said.
"Definitely." John carefully put away the things, and then praised Yang Jianlong, "Your Zulong Chamber of Commerce is really a loyal friend of our British Empire! If you want to immigrate in the future, remember to come to me to sign."
"Are they just like our cultural relics?" Lin Ran laughed.
