Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 466 What did you say?
The lights were bright, the walls were whitened, and the curtains were drawn tightly.

Gu Chunfeng remained calm, as if pacing, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and gently lifted the curtains.

There were windows and glass, but it was extremely dark outside and there was not a trace of light.

The windows are fake.

Look around, you can see cameras everywhere, above your head, in the corners of the room, on the stage.

Think about it again before I came here: it was review and study, and I studied confidentiality regulations for a whole week.

Then the selection of people began, but it was the first time that Gu Chunfeng had seen something so strict in more than 40 years of work: two old experts on the appraisal committee were directly disqualified simply because they had pacemakers.

Even so, there are still more than fifty experts gathered together. One can imagine how big the case is this time.
In a flash, he recalled it again: when he came here, he took a bus and the curtains were tightly drawn, but it was far from quiet.

Vaguely, he seemed to have heard the sound of a whistle?
Either a ship or a train.

The air is a bit damp, mixed with a faint fishy smell, so this is most likely a pier.

And these people in the venue are all cultural relic experts, so they can only handle cultural relic smuggling cases.

But there are so many, with such high levels and qualifications, that almost all the top and most professional experts from various units under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism are gathered here?

Therefore, it is no longer just a question of how big the case is, but there must be very, very many cultural relics involved, and the value of the case is definitely beyond imagination.

Gu Chunfeng secretly guessed, but there were a lot of discussions around him.

"The National Museum, the Forbidden City, the Cultural Relics Bureau, the First Museum of China...are they all the top experts in the capital?"

"Who said that? Look: no one came from the Academy of Social Sciences or the High School Entrance Examination Office."

"Why don't you say: Why don't you send a few academicians here?"

"You think you're studying missiles?"

"I don't think there's any difference. The case must be huge."

"Isn't this nonsense: just assisting in the appraisal, and it's like being in contact with the underground party?"

"The question is what to identify?"

"I don't know?"

"Does Director Gu know?"

Gu Chunfeng smiled and said, "Old Zheng, don't you think how many years have I been retired?"

"Director Zhu must know."

Director Zhu knew a little bit, but he basically guessed it himself and was not sure, so he still shook his head.

"Then Director Liu must know?"

"Guys, I really don't know..."

Just as they were muttering, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and everyone looked over subconsciously.

Secretary, Director Lin, Director Guan, Director Tong, Director Mi, Director Cheng...good guys?

Everyone here has at most participated in meetings hosted by the leader of the unit who also serves as deputy department, and most of them were general meetings.

This is really the first time I have attended a meeting chaired by the secretary, and there are so many leaders: except for the minister, all the top leaders in the department are here?

So how high-level are the specifications for this mission?
People from the National Museum and the Forbidden City were even more surprised: Could it be that the last person, just behind Director Cheng, was not Teacher Li?

Suspicious, they sat down one after another, and the secretary knocked on the phone:

"First of all, I would like to thank all units for their support. Secondly, on behalf of the ministry, I would like to welcome everyone present..."

When the words fell, there was thunderous applause.

"The case is very complex, the case value is also very high, and the impact is beyond imagination... To save time, I will not repeat the case here. I will only emphasize a few points: First, strengthen awareness and improve obedience. During the period of assisting in handling the case, we must not allow The phenomenon of relying on the old and selling the old and ranking based on seniority has occurred...

2. Raise awareness, deeply understand the importance of this assistance, and exert subjective initiative...

3. Be pragmatic in style, assign responsibility to everyone, be effective, and be responsible..."

The speech was short, lasting only two minutes, and the conference room burst into applause again.

The experts smiled and clapped vigorously, but they were muttering in their hearts: It was indeed their first time to attend a meeting hosted by the secretary, so they didn't know whether the secretary's style was always like this.

But I always felt something was wrong: the tone was a bit too serious. The key thing is, it was the first time I met the leader for a meeting, and I gave him a warning at the beginning?
While I was thinking wildly, it was Director Guan's turn to speak.

Later, the experts from the Supervisory Committee under the Cultural Relics Bureau knew: the leaders meant what they meant... Oh no, it was a warning and a slap.

Because Director Guan said it more straightforwardly: Stop showing off your qualifications and airs, and cooperate honestly!

The question is, haven’t we done anything yet?

Then came Director Mi, whose words were equally strict and his tone was equally serious.

After that, it was Dean Tong again, whose tone was relatively gentle. At the end of his speech, he should say a few words to the experts in the Forbidden City alone, just like Director Guan Mi.

He did say it, but the strange thing is that not only did he say little, but he also said it a bit jokingly: "This is not the first time we have collaborated. You all know how to do it, right?"

Headed by Director Liu of the Cultural Conservation and Scientific Research Division of the Palace Museum, they all smiled cheerfully and said in neat voices: "I know!"

Finally, it was Curator Lin, who was even more brilliant, and said three words: "Good cooperation!"

The voices of a group of researchers from the National Museum were even louder: “Understood!”

Other experts looked at each other: Are the National Museum and the Forbidden City taking stimulants?
Later, the secretary announced the list of expert groups, and they knew what was going on:

Team leader: Li Ding'an.

Deputy team leader: Cheng Jie.

Deputy team leader: Zhu Nanshan (Deputy Director of Guobo Research Institute)
Deputy Team Leader: Yang Lichuan (Director of the Institute of Cultural Studies of the Palace Museum)
Deputy Team Leader: Liu Xinmin (Director of the Cultural Preservation Department of the Forbidden City)
Deputy leader: Gu Chunfeng (Deputy Director of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Association)

……

There was an uproar below.

Chengjie, of course they know each other.

As for Li Ding'an, his name has already stuck in his ears, but except for the National Museum of China and some researchers from the Forbidden City, all other experts have "only heard his voice but never seen his person."

I only know that he is very young, still a student, studying at Beijing University.

Look again at this time: He is not only young, his face is so tender that he can squeeze out water. Some people believe that he is a high school student.

Therefore, at this time, when I think of the Secretary, and the speeches of Director Guan and Director Mi, these experts feel particularly deeply: they are not allowed to rely on their elders, they are not allowed to be ranked based on seniority, and they are not allowed to put on airs or age, and cooperate honestly...

But this is too exaggerated: for five ministry leaders to stand up for him and endorse him, how professional and capable do they have to be?

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and he is a top expert who has been famous in the industry for a long time. Regardless of whether he is convinced or not, he feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

On the other hand, the situation at the National Museum and the Forbidden City is completely opposite: Isn’t it that I have never cooperated with Mr. Li?
Let’s not talk about the past, let’s talk about the present: Ma Xianming, Yao Chuan, Wei Zili, Cheng Ming (Forbidden City), Xiao Jianzhi (Forbidden City), with their respective researchers and associate researchers, are in Qinglong Mountain and in the ancient city of Hunshan. There are really many subjects. When the research is not completed, the paper is too late to hand out.

This time it is to assist in handling a case, the nature is different, but the principle is the same: as long as the leader pays more attention to the tasks assigned by the superior ministries, the more benefits will be gained.

The key is to follow Li Dingan: Based on past experience, you don’t have to worry about whether you can complete it or do it well... Just be honest and obedient, and then wait for the benefits.

Therefore, everyone smiled and bared their teeth.

But Li Ding'an sighed: Severe cases require strong medicine. Based on the urine of these old experts, if you tell them like you swallow water, they will most likely give you a job.

That’s why the leaders gave warnings and beatings.

But I guess the intensity is not enough, so we need to add more fire to give them a boost... Just as he was thinking about it, Chengjie kicked his feet under the table, which meant that it was his turn to speak.

Li Ding'an didn't hesitate. He didn't even say "little seniority" or "please give me more advice". He went directly into groups.

Then, head straight to the scene.

……

"As expected, he is a worthy scholar despite his great reputation!"

"What do you mean?"

"You are young and have a lot of promise!"

"So young, can he do it?"

"I must have the ability to appreciate it, and the level must be very high. Otherwise, in just two years, I wouldn't have gained such a big reputation, let alone be appreciated by so many leaders... But when it comes to experience, I think it's high!"

Everyone nodded.

By experience, they mean management and coordination. Let me tell you something that is often said in academic circles: high level does not necessarily mean strong ability.

Not to mention management and coordination, if he could memorize all the names of the dozens of experienced experts on site, it would probably take him several days...

Several people from the National Museum and the Forbidden City remained silent: What do dozens of people count?
In Tongliao Qinglong Mountain and Xilin Hunshan Ancient City, which project department does not have more than ten groups and hundreds of people, and Li Ding'an still manages it in an orderly manner?

As for the old experts?
Is Lu Benzhi's seniority high? Are Ma Xianming, Yao Chuan, and Wei Zili high-level and capable?
He is more than a step ahead of these so-called old experts in the field. Isn't it true that Li Ding'an just follows his lead?
If we compare in terms of fame and popularity, they can't even compare to Cheng Yongquan.

At least Lao Cheng has been on TV and is a well-known cultural relic appraisal expert.

Therefore, they found it particularly funny to hear that these old experts were worried about Li Ding'an.

Is it okay?

Li Ding'an was so embarrassed that he asked you all to stand and watch, and then let you see what appraisal is, what expert is, what speed is...

……

The aisle is very wide, tall, and long, with loud echoes and extraordinarily empty space.

There are still no windows, but there are dense downlights overhead, making it very bright.

I kept walking for almost a hundred meters before arriving in front of a large warehouse.

The doors are unusually large, each five or six meters wide and nearly three stories high.

The plainclothes comrade who led the way entered the password, and with a soft "creep" sound, the door slid open to both sides.

"Secretary, why do I feel like a military base?"

Chengjie said nothing, because it was also his first time here.

Another comrade smiled: "It's just a warehouse, but it used to store large machinery, so it has a lot of space."

"Oh!"

Li Ding'an nodded subconsciously, walked in, and was stunned again: "Where are these?"

The plainclothes man nodded: "It's also a warehouse!"

Does your warehouse look like this?
The operation rooms are one after another, and the research equipment is one set next to another. It can be said that they are well-equipped and equipped with everything.

Some of the equipment is not even available in most provincial museums and provincial archaeological institutes.

Glancing left and right, Li Ding'an's eyes widened: "When was it remodeled?"

The casual man smiled: "I don't know either!"

Forget it, just pretend you don’t know.

But Li Ding'an estimated that it was at least two months ago.

Because it is so perfect, it even has a fully enclosed archaeological cabin with constant temperature and humidity.

It may not be as sophisticated as the ancient city of Hunshan, but it cannot stand up to the large space and many research laboratories.

Have you ever seen a single product showroom with more than 200 square meters?

Counting again, there are more than a dozen laboratories alone, for ceramics, copperware, silk embroidery, calligraphy and painting, and even a specialized ancient coin laboratory.

This is not an inventory, it is clearly an on-the-spot study.

He rolled his eyes: "Why not bring it back, such as to the National Museum or the Forbidden City?"

The plainclothes man smiled and said nothing, and the director glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten where these things came from?"

Li Ding'an understood instantly: The ownership of these things is unknown now, so they cannot leave the port yet.

He joked again: "Director, what if I find a locator?"

"What else can we do? Report it to the police?"

Report it?

Li Ding'an was stunned. He looked at Director Cheng and then at the plain clothes.

The man smiled and nodded imperceptibly.

What do you mean?
It means that it is really possible... should I go there?
Li Ding'an didn't dare to ask anymore.

Not long after, the experts entered the warehouse.

"How do you arrange it?"

"We'll do the inventory first, just sort and count each group!" Li Ding'an thought for a while, "But I think we should let them see it first, and then we can officially start work in the afternoon!"

"Yes!" Cheng Jie nodded in agreement, "Don't talk about them, even I want to see them!"

What is the concept of stacking thousands or tens of thousands of first-class cultural relics together?
There are enough cultural relics in the National Museum, but when have they been displayed like this?
Secretly sighing, Cheng Jie looked at his watch: "The team leaders of each group will lead the tours in groups. They are all professionals. I don't need to explain it specifically, but there is one thing: they are all first-class cultural relics, so be gentle with your hands!"

Hearing this sentence, many people were stunned: if the person speaking was not Director Cheng of the ministry or Secretary Cheng of the National Museum, they would have laughed out loud.

What happened to the first-level cultural relics?
As long as you are an expert here, who has never seen a first-class cultural relic?
I don’t like seeing anyone I see…

Director Cheng only thought of it as a cultural relic involved in the case and was afraid of damaging the evidence, so no one paid attention to it.

The researchers from the Forbidden City were relatively far ahead, and Yang Lichuan led the team into the first storage room.

As soon as he stepped through the door, Ding Licheng exclaimed: "Jingkang Tongbao?"

Who is so ignorant and makes such a fuss?

The people behind took a look and saw that it was Ding Licheng, and immediately became silent again.

If we were to rank the national calligraphy and painting appraisal experts, Ding Licheng would be at least in the top ten... Who dares to say that he has no knowledge?

"Old Ding, what are you calling? It's just Jingkang Tongbao. It's not like you've never seen it before?"

"Of course I've seen it!"

Ding Licheng swallowed, "But I've never seen boxes full of Jingkang Tongbao!"

The person behind was stunned: "What did you say?"
