It is a pity that there are not many ethnic groups in this world who understand this truth and put it into practice.

Of course, it is more likely that the standards for "shame" are different.

Otherwise, Puffy wouldn't be so confident when he said "We lie, we cheat, we steal."

The standard of "shame" in southern Africa is completely in line with the positioning of Han culture. Forget about the golden seal of the king of the Han Dynasty, it was given to the Japanese, and there is no need to take it back. Other things that were robbed have to be [-] return.

In fact, this work is already in progress. Since Japan surrendered, a large number of trophies looted during the Japanese war have been brought back to southern Africa. The museum directors in southern Africa are very happy, and the quality of the collection has been improved.

After the end of the First World War, the expeditionary force brought back countless spoils from Europe, and the museums in southern Africa grew rich overnight.

Europeans don't know much about oriental culture, and they are most interested in various metal products, not even jade and jade, so there are not many real high-quality goods.

Japan itself is an East Asian country and is deeply influenced by Han culture. It is not an exaggeration to call it a house thief. Therefore, China has been robbed of the most good things in a century of catastrophe.

According to official statistics in Southern Africa, since Japan's defeat in the war, nearly one million "trophies" have been sent back to Southern Africa.

Only part of these trophies belonged to the official, and more were the personal collections of the expeditionary forces.

If it's only of average value, it's fine for personal collection.

Some national treasures with immeasurable value are not suitable for personal collection. The federal government will buy them at a high price and hand them over to museums.

Be the luckiest guy with a salad from Basutoland.

Salud is a Gurkha. Before World War I, Salud's father worked for the Umbrella Company. Salud and his family immigrated to southern Africa and settled in Basutoland.

At that time, new immigrants could still get land when they came to southern Africa. Because of his large family, Shalu got about 500 acres.

A 500-acre farm, if managed properly, is enough for Sha Lu's family to live comfortably.

There is still a gap between the Gurkhas and the Chinese in running the farm. It didn’t take long for the Shalu family’s farm to be acquired by a South African company due to poor management. The Shalu family returned to the original point and lived in poverty.

The war gave Shalu a new opportunity. Shalu and his four brothers all joined the expeditionary force and served in different war zones.

After Japan was defeated and surrendered, Sha Lu exchanged a box of canned food with a Japanese for a teacup in Nagasaki. Experts sent by the Southern African Federal Government identified that this teacup was produced in Ruzhou official kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its value was immeasurable.

As the news spread, major museums in southern Africa flocked to it, and the Nyasaland State Museum offered a price of 150 million rand for the tea bowl.

Salad serves in the Indian Ocean Fleet, excluding wartime allowances and overseas allowances, and his annual fixed salary is only 150 rand.

At 150 million rand, Salad has to serve 1 years in the southern African army to earn it.

"What is there to hesitate? 150 million rand is enough to meet all the needs of your family. Do you want to travel around the world? Do you want the latest model of Star-Lord car? Do you want to buy a hilltop mansion near Sunset Boulevard? As long as you If you accept this price, you can own it in no time!" Jack Martin, the deputy curator of Nyasaland State Museum, personally dispatched and was bound to win.

The price of 150 million is not low. Last year, the Los Angeles Auction House auctioned a Southern Song Jizhou kiln famille rose vase, which was only sold for 70.

"Give it to our Los Angeles Auction House for auction. I promise, the price will only be higher than 150 million." The terms offered by the Los Angeles Auction House are also very attractive, which immediately aroused Jack Martin's anger.

Strictly speaking, both the Nyasaland State Museum and the Los Angeles auction house are owned by Roque. Is it interesting for his family to fight in circles?

"Don't look at me like that, our auction house also has a performance appraisal—" Joe Gray, or Gray Joe can't help it, the Nyasaland State Museum will not increase Joe Gray's achievement.

In order to promote the healthy development of the industry under its name, Rock never engages in monopoly, and only full competition can maintain health and vitality.

It doesn't matter how much you spend, as long as it's not a vicious competition. If the Los Angeles auction house buys the item, there is a high probability that the item will be bought by the Nyasaland State Museum in the end. For the Nyasaland State Museum, it just pays a higher price Just a few.

Although 150 million rand does not fully reflect the value of a tea bowl, there are not many people in southern Africa who can afford to spend 150 million rand.

"Money is meaningless after a certain amount. If you are willing to sell this teacup to Rhodesia, we will meet all your requirements." The lobbyist sent by Rhodesia is Nick Rhodes, see The name knows the background.

In southern Africa, no one dared to refuse the request of the Rhodes family.

But likewise, no one dared to reject the Locke family.

So Seabuckthorn, the father of Salad, is very uncomfortable, and the expensive tea bowl has now become a hot potato.

Rock and Stoudemire have high positions and powers, it is impossible to turn their faces over such a trivial matter, and they don't even know that this matter happened at all.

Jack Martin and Nick Rhodes are not easy to get along with, Joe Gray is also difficult to deal with, and the auction house is not a charity.

The situation before him was beyond what Seabuckthorn could handle, so Seabuckthorn turned to Tao Bin, the only official present, for help.

Tao Bin looked at the sky with both eyes, squinting at 45 degrees, as if he was studying the roof decoration of Seabuckthorn's house.

Don't look at me, I'm a tax collector in Fantville Town who just graduated from Basutoland University last year. I can't stand the pressure from two families in southern Africa at the same time. The reason why I'm here is not to support you. The sole purpose is to witness your transaction in order to determine the tax amount of the transaction.

"Gentlemen, calm down. No one is sure. There is only one teacup like this." Associate Professor Terry from the History Department of Nyasaland University was perhaps the only person present who sympathized with sea buckthorn.

Terry is an appraisal expert sent by the Federal Government of Southern Africa. He has a detached identity and a profound background.

Appraisal experts are not uncommon. With the name of Nyasaland University, there is no need to worry about the pressure from museums and auction houses.

The expert's words did carry weight, Nick Rhodes and Jack Martin frowned at the same time.

The key reason why things are expensive is their rarity. The items produced by official kilns were very precious at that time, and they were rarely sold to the people. After thousands of years of blessing, they can be sold at this price.

The reason why the Nyasaland State Museum was able to offer the price of 150 million rand is because similar items have never appeared in southern Africa before. In other words, it is the only one in the world, so it is worth the price.

With the deepening of the liquidation of Japan, no one knows whether there will be similar items in the future.

There might even be something more valuable.

Not to mention the more valuable ones, even if there is another identical one, the price of this teacup will plummet.

"That's why it's wisest to entrust our auction house to conduct the auction." Qiao Gray was overjoyed. Unlike the museum, the auction house is a one-shot sale, earning a fee, no matter what.

"Professor Terry, your work is done." Jack Martin was very unhappy. Do you still want the sponsorship fee for next year?

The University of Southern Africa has no funding and relies entirely on tuition fees and social sponsorship. Nyasaland State Museum and Nyasaland University are cooperative units, and they have to pay a sponsorship fee to Nyasaland University every year, so Jack Martin and Tate Li is the real one.

As one of my own people, but my elbows are turned outwards, I feel stupid when reading.

"Okay, okay, I wish you all success." Terry was not angry, he was the only one watching the scene, and it didn't matter how much he sold.

"How to say?" Jack Martin's main opponent is still Nick Rhodes.

"I think the professor is right, so you should think carefully—" Nick said to think carefully, but he didn't mean to give up.

Terry has nothing to say about professional skills, he doesn't know much about business, and he doesn't know how museums work at all.

In general, the National Museum of Pretoria is considered to be the largest and most powerful museum in Southern Africa.

In fact, this is not entirely the case. In terms of the number of exhibits, the National Museum of Pretoria is indeed the largest, with about 2.2 collections on display every day.

Nyasaland State Museum has only 1.5 items on display daily.

But no one knows how many collections there are in the Nyasaland State Museum. In the past ten years, except for some exhibits that are popular with the audience, the other exhibits have been in rotation and rarely repeated.

After statistics by interested people, an astonishing number was obtained. In the past ten years, Nyasaland State Museum has exhibited more than 150 million collections, many of which are national treasures and have only been exhibited once.

No one knows how many more are not on display.

As for the tea bowl in front of me, there may be several in the treasure house of the Nyasaland State Museum.

As long as you don't take it out, the tea bowl in front of you will be an orphan.

The financial strength of the Rhodes family is no less than that of the Locke family, but the strength of the Rhodesian Museum is much worse than that of the Nyasaland State Museum.

During World War I, Roque was the commander-in-chief of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

In other words, the trophies brought home by the expeditionary force were left over by Rock.

So Jack Martin might be able to let go.

Nick Rhodes has no reason to give up.

Nick Rhodes is still very moral. He didn't force the seabuckthorn to sell the tea bowl to the Rhodesia Museum. This is also the rule of this industry. If force can be used to force it, who would the Locke family be afraid of?

Even the Gurkha group where sea buckthorn is located had the opportunity to come to southern Africa because of Rock's recruitment.

With this in mind, Seabuckthorn himself finally made a decision.

"Mr. Martin, is the Nyasaland State Museum the lord's property?" Nick Rhodes was disappointed when Seabuckthorn opened his mouth. He knew that he had no chance.

"Of course, Nyasaland was originally the Lord's territory, and everything in the territory belongs to the Lord." Jack Martin was proud. From this perspective, he was also considered Rock's retainer.

"The federal government has abolished the title system, and Nyasaland belongs to all southern Africans." Nick Rhodes is still struggling.

"Heh, is Rhodesia also for all southern Africans?" Jack Martin made a fatal blow. Just look at the federal government's announcement. It only affects ordinary people. At the level of Rock and Stoudemire, the federal government has already It doesn't matter anymore.

Although nominally, southern Africa advocates democracy and freedom as much as the United States, but in fact they know everything about it.

In theory, Rock and Stoudemire, as natural persons, have the same right to cast one vote as seabuckthorn when electing the prime minister in southern Africa, which is also the source of the "sacred vote".

In the matter of choosing the prime minister, Seabuckthorn can only vote.

Rock and Stoudemire are the ones who decide who Seabuckthorn can vote for.

It means that Seabuckthorn can only choose who to vote for among the candidates selected by Rock and Stoudemire.

That's the rule of democracy.

"Don't think about it. I'll give this to the lord. I don't want any reward, not a penny." Seabuckthorn made the most correct choice, and even a small person has great wisdom.

"Sha, don't be impulsive, that's 150 million rand!" Even if Nick couldn't get what he wanted, he didn't make it easy for Jack Martin.

"It was Lord who brought me from Nibera to southern Africa. I served under Lord in World War I. My children served under Lord's son in World War II. I hope that by World War III, my grandson will It is my mission as a Gurkha to serve under the lord's grandson." Seabuckthorn's words were extremely heroic, but the hearts of the people present were terrified.

Lord Sha, take away your supernatural powers, you won't be able to win three battles.

The Second World War has brought the world to the brink of collapse. If the Third World War breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Why did Hirohito drop the two atomic bombs so simply?
Because in the past, incendiary bombs could only be thrown on Japanese civilians, and could not hurt Hirohito who was hiding in the bunker, so Hirohito had the confidence to spend [-] million pieces of jade.

The emergence of super weapons has completely changed the previous form of war. All beings are equal before the atomic bomb. In the past, the high-ranking royal relatives are no different from the resistance to the atomic bomb. Who dares to fight three wars under such circumstances?

"Thank you for your loyalty to the lord. You know, the lord never treats his own people badly, so you deserve the 150 million rand." Jack Martin is not afraid to spend money, and it is worth the money.

Why do southern Africans advocate martial arts?
Because fighting is beneficial, the 150 million rand is the best proof.

As long as this matter gets out, Rock will not only get a teacup worth 150 million rand, but also get all the support for the war from all southern Africans by the way. (end of this chapter)
