Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 135 Don't joke

national treasure?

This is what he does, and he has been doing it for most of his life, and these two words are the most unheard of.

Those who punched stopped, and those who chatted stopped chatting. The drinking cups were all brought to their mouths, and they subconsciously stopped.

The box was silent, and everyone's eyes were shining.

"Director Yang, who's calling!"

"It's Li Ding'an, Mr. Li, who said he found a batch of things, which are worth more than last time..."

Last time, didn't it refer to Mongolian porcelain, Qing Dynasty ritual vessels and silver books?

Regardless of other things, it has only been half a month since the project started, and the Ministry has received letters and oral inquiries four or five times: Why haven't you seen your funding application report yet?

God is pitiful, for the first time ever, the higher ups are chasing after granting funding?
It can be seen how much attention...

And things with a higher value than these things are not national treasures?

As for the authenticity... There is no need to doubt it at all: When did Li Dingan fall off the chain?
With a "chuckle", Ma Xianming's wine was half sober immediately: "Director Yang, what then?"

"Mr. Li said that he was going to rent it to us for an exhibition... He was not at ease because the things were in someone else's warehouse, so he asked me to arrange for someone to transport them to the Forbidden City overnight..."

"What exactly is it?"

"Ms. Li didn't elaborate."

Didn't elaborate?
It’s because I heard that I’m there too, so I don’t think it’s easy to say…

In terms of relationship, Li Ding'an obviously wants to be closer to He Anbang. Even if it's an exhibition, he must rent it to the National Museum first.

But why is it the Forbidden City?

So, there are oddities...

Ma Xianming rolled his eyes: "Director Yang, does he know the exact location?"

"I know, Xijiaomin Lane..."

"Oh……"

He nodded calmly, and looked at his watch again: "It's getting late, big guy, why don't you... go away?"

It's so early, it's not even nine o'clock?

Didn't you just say that no one is allowed to leave if you can't finish this box? You only drank two bottles, right?

Yang Lichuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, but maybe he drank a little too much and his brain reacted a bit slowly, so he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while.

When she frowned and pondered, Ma Xianming had already stood up and led a deputy director and two team leaders of the National Expo out of the box.

What are you in such a hurry for?
She also followed, and went to the bar first to settle the bill.

The deputy director behind him thought for a while and followed.

"Director, Ma Suo went out to make a phone call, feeling...sneaky?

Hmm... what do you mean?
Yang Lichuan subconsciously asked: "Who did he call?"

Still need to ask?
The deputy director sighed: "Of course it's He Guan..."

For a moment, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and Yang Lichuan finally knew what was wrong:

This bastard wants to cut off the beard?
Ouch... I was fooled...

She was angry and impatient, scolding Ma Xianming in her heart, and hurriedly called Lu Benzhi: "Lu Yuan..."

……

At the same time, He Anbang's call also reached Li Dingan's cell phone.

Li Dingan was stunned.

In fact, when he heard the sound of punching in the box, he had already thought: Ma Xianming is smarter than a monkey, and seeing that he didn't call He Anbang, but called Yang Lichuan instead, he could probably guess something.

However, this is too fast, is there 2 minutes before and after?
He connected the phone, but before He Anbang could say anything, he sealed his mouth first: "Let's say it first, this time the things can't be given to the National Expo!"

"How do you know what I'm going to say?"

He Anbang was about to die of depression, and was stunned for a long time: "For you, what is the difference between renting out to the National Expo and the Forbidden City?"

Of course there is a difference...

Because Lu Benzhi is a typical scholar-type personality, there are not so many twists and turns in his mind, as long as he promises, he will never go back on his word.

But He Anbang?

Ha ha……

It is another project that can be rated as "new archaeological discovery of the year", it can win a national reputation for the National Museum, and it is a big project that can make the Ministry chase after the ass to approve funding. Guess it is in his hands. If he can bear it and not study it, can he not grab the project?

In the face of collective honor, personal friendship is nothing, I guess my own father has to stand aside...

Don't be surprised, those who leave the army and transfer to other places are all so virtuous...

He thought for a while, then sighed again: "Let me put it this way... Dean Ding and Professor Wu didn't say anything about Mongolian porcelain before, but they must have regretted smashing Kangzi in private... So this time, I must first ask Professor Wu's opinion..."

Ma Xianming guessed correctly, it really is a big project and a big topic!

So Wu Xiang's head was kicked by a donkey to have an opinion?
He Anbang became impatient: "Could it be that the three companies can't do joint research?"

"It's really not going to work this time, because the things this time are of great historical significance to Beijing University, and we will never give up the dominant power..." After a short pause, Li Ding'an explained, "Don't mind if I tell the truth again: Relatively speaking, Professor Lu is still very authoritative in the field of Ming and Qing imperial porcelain..."

"Why are you so reserved? You might as well be more direct: Imperial porcelain research, the National Museum is not as good as the Forbidden City, but Beijing University is even worse..."

He Anbang paused for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Understood: That's why you plan to let the Forbidden City cooperate with Beijing University in research... Tsk, this is a very good plan, can Lu Benzhi agree?

Li Ding'an didn't say anything: How could the Forbidden City refuse such a thing?
He Anbang also reacted, and gritted his teeth: "What the hell is it?"

"It's better not to know, or you won't be able to sleep tonight..."

"I...you..."

Beep... hung up?
He Anbang was dumbfounded: Bastard!

He was so depressed that he was angry for a while, rolled his eyes, and picked up the phone again.

"Professor Lu, are you asleep?"

"Did Li Ding'an call you?"

"It's nothing... I'll just ask what he said?"

"What, you don't know? What nonsense, he must not let you tell me..."

Hmm, hung up too?
Lu Benzhi, just wait for me...

"Professor Wu, you haven't rested yet..."

"Oh... I just want to ask, what is Ding'an talking about?"

"Li Ding'an said he couldn't, why?"

"Afraid that I will snatch it? I..."

After hanging up the phone, He Anbang's face turned dark.

unacceptable……

He thought for a while, got up from the sofa, and walked to the door to put on his shoes while making a phone call: "Old Ma, send me the location..."

……

Li Dingan was also very depressed.

Originally, he thought, let Yang Lichuan send a few professional people to help him transport the things away, and then wait for the rest to go to work on Monday.But who would have thought that Ma Xianming was there?

Now it's all right, I've provoked a swarm of bees...

There was no other way, but to communicate with Wu Xiang and Lu Benzhi first, so as not to be bluffed by He Anbang.So after making a phone call for almost 10 minutes, he entered the small living room.

Gao Shengdong and Shu Jinghao were still recording, and Mr. Zheng accompanied each other to introduce the origin of each item. Mr. He and Mr. Xiao stopped pretending and started to help.

That's right... Between acquaintances, it's impossible to hide inadvertent small movements and tacit understanding, so as soon as he entered the door, he realized that Mr. Zheng and these two knew each other very well.

But the three of them insisted on pretending to meet for the first time, what is it if this is not trust?
That Professor Jin didn't leave, and just leaned on the sofa with flaws and smoked.

"Boss Li, get one!"

"Thank you, I won't..."

"Oh……"

Professor Jin put down the cigarette case, and thought for a while, "Boss Li, may I ask, do you want to keep these items for personal collection, or are you going to sell them?"

"Sell!" Li Ding'an nodded, "Of course, only part of it!"

Of course those two blue and white bowls won't be sold, and Wang Hui's paintings... Well, it's not easy to sell for the time being, at least after the authenticity of the two imperial seals is confirmed.

For the rest, there seems to be no need to stay...

Professor Jin's eyes lit up: Only a part of it is sold... Isn't that better?
He only wanted to buy a part of it, because Mr. Zheng didn't sell it for retail, so he could only pack it.But now Li Ding'an wants to sell them separately, which is exactly what he wants.

Professor Jin came to his senses immediately: "For those miscellaneous items, if it's suitable, can Boss Li make a price?"

Ah... Miscellaneous?
He had previously thought that Professor Jin was looking at calligraphy, painting or porcelain, because these two items were relatively the best to sell, and there were indeed several items that could be called high-quality goods.

On the contrary, those miscellaneous items are numerous and fragmented, which are relatively ordinary.

It can be seen from this that this person is not a collector or player, and he is definitely not an exhibition institution such as a museum, because museums basically have all these things.

After thinking for a while, Li Ding'an understood: Is he really a professor?

It is estimated that it is the leader of the department related to archaeology, and nine out of ten of these things are for research when they buy these things back.

It was a coincidence that it helped him deal with the most difficult part.So Li Ding'an didn't hesitate: "Yes...Professor Jin. You can give me a price!"

Talking so well?
Professor Jin pondered for a while: "Then... 1000 million?"

Hmm... the price is quite good.He estimated that 800 million would be good...

"can!"

Hey, that's great, it's equivalent to saving 3000 million...

Professor Jin was overjoyed, and looked at the time again: "It may be too late now... Boss Li, I will pay a part of the deposit first, and we will sign an agreement, and I will come to pull things tomorrow and pay the balance?"

Want to sign an agreement?
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, and there is no need to pay a deposit..."

Li Dingan thought for a while, "Professor Jin, do you think this is okay: I will give you a list of miscellaneous items later. When you arrive at the Forbidden City tomorrow, we will pay the money and deliver the goods?"

Forbidden City?

Professor Jin was a little confused: "Which Forbidden City?"

Li Ding'an was asked instead: The capital city... oh no, there is a second Forbidden City in this world?
“Of course it’s the Palace Museum!”

"You... aren't you a student?"

"Oh... it's a work-study program... I'm usually free, so I just help the Forbidden City with research..."

Professor Jin squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ding'an with extreme suspicion: What are you talking about, pretending that I don't know what the Forbidden City is for?

There was a bead curtain in the middle, and the conversation between the two could be heard clearly, and their expressions were also clearly seen: Li Ding'an looked sincere, while Professor Jin looked bewildered...

Really, so much joy.

Gao Shengdong held back his laughter, it was very hard for him to endure.

Boss Zheng next to him also looked skeptical.

Others don't know, but he still knows a little about Gao Shengdong: a lecturer at the School of Archeology, Peking University, who often helps the National Museum and the Forbidden City to conduct research.

Look at this meeting again: the self-proclaimed student sits and talks nonsense, but Gao Shengdong, the teacher, is busy running around?

After looking around, Mr. Zheng asked in a low voice, "Mr. Gao, this boss Li...what's his background?"

"He didn't lie, he is a student!"

"Then he said he was doing research for the Forbidden City?"

"Oh... he is indeed doing research!"

What nonsense are you talking about, do you think I never went to school?

Similarly, Mr. Zheng was also confused...

He was still thinking about the logical relationship, and then he heard Li Dingan answer the phone, as if he was giving directions to someone.

Gao Shengdong pointed out with a smile: "If Mr. Zheng doesn't believe it, he will find out later..."

Know... know what?
Could it be people from the Forbidden City who came?
Do not make jokes……
