Collection of Gods

Chapter 915 The boss calls
"Dr. Tang!"

"All the treasures have finally been counted!"

"We can start our return journey now!"

After Dong Wenhui got off the speedboat, he trotted directly towards Tang Yuan. Upon hearing the voice, Tang Yuan did not hesitate and stood up to greet Dong Wenhui.

"Director Dong, why did you come here in person? Just send someone over."

Tang Yuan walked barefoot on the beach. The fine and soft sand did not hurt his feet at all. It was far better than those famous beach coastlines in China.

"It's a good time to come to the island to exercise."

Dong Wenhui smiled and handed the book in his hand to Tang Yuan: "This is a detailed list of all the treasures we have obtained from Changjing Island this time. Come and take a look."

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

唐远笑着应了一句，便低下头翻开了手里面的簿册，只见簿册首页写道：清代寿字纹金元宝3000枚、清代官钱局银锭120000枚、宫廷秘籍1287件、瓷器3149件、玉器3749件、铜器3238件、青铜器224件、佛像2151件、名人书画1382卷、圆明园十二兽首4件、《四库全书》整部、《永乐大典》1579册、帝王朝服6套、各类图书1392件、杂项6328件……

The first page of the book is somewhat similar to a review.

After Tang Yuan quickly scanned the first page, he simply flipped a few pages back and found that the rest were full of detailed information. For example, the porcelain section was marked with the following data: 1906 pieces of Qing Dynasty porcelain, 839 pieces of Ming Dynasty porcelain, 372 pieces of Yuan Dynasty porcelain, and 32 pieces of porcelain before the Song Dynasty.

Immediately below each small data is the detailed name of each antique collectible, which includes a variety of data ranging from the age of the porcelain to the type of porcelain.

In short, there are only two words -

specialized!

The entire book looks very thin, but it actually contains very rich content. It is filled with densely packed texts. Even if Tang Yuan reads ten lines at a glance, it will take him a long time to finish reading it.

"So many?"

"Adding everything together, the total must be more than 40,000, right?"

Tang Yuan asked Dong Wenhui while browsing the book, his tone containing a hint of inexplicable surprise and astonishment.

Dong Wenhui shook his head: "Mr. Tang, do you know how many cultural relics were in the Old Summer Palace when it was at its peak?"

"How many?"

Tang Yuan asked.

"Based on the archives of the Qing Dynasty, research articles from the Palace Museum, and many other historical documents such as the Qing Archives of the Furnishings of the Summer Palace, we can infer that during its heyday, the Old Summer Palace had no fewer than 150 million cultural relics."

Dong Wenhui's voice was a little heavy, and he asked Tang Yuan: "Compared to that, Mr. Tang, do you think it's too much?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan could not help but remain silent.

If we compare it this way, it is indeed not much, even too little.

Dong Wenhui did not continue the topic, and turned to ask Tang Yuan: "Mr. Tang, now that the list is out, is it time for us to contact the country?"

"It's time indeed."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly and closed the book in his hand again: "Director Dong, please come to my room later. I will give you my satellite phone so that you can communicate with the higher-ups."

"So now we are...?"

Dong Wenhui looked around, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Let's go back to the cruise ship now." Having said that, Tang Yuan turned around and shouted to Xiong Kai and the others, "Xiong Kai, stop playing and pack up everything. We are about to set off for home!"

"Roger that!"

Xiong Kai's voice soon came from a distance. After notifying Xiong Kai, Tang Yuan turned to Dong Wenhui and said, "Director Dong, let's ignore them and go back to the ship first."

"Row."

Dong Wenhui responded, and then followed Tang Yuan directly on the speedboat he came in, and returned to the cruise ship first.

Afterwards, Dong Wenhui came to Tang Yuan's room and, as the two had agreed upon in advance, called home and reported the situation on their side truthfully.

When the leaders above heard that they had actually dug up national treasures such as the Twelve Animal Heads of the Old Summer Palace, the Yongle Encyclopedia, and the Siku Quanshu on a deserted island in a foreign country, they reacted quite strongly and immediately reported the matter up the chain of command.

After hanging up the phone, the next step is to wait for a reply.

Tang Yuan and Dong Wenhui sat on the terrace, looking at the sparkling sea. After several days, it was difficult for them to regain the initial feeling of relaxation and joy.

"Mr. Tang, how are you going to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"The Chinese New Year is just five days away. Will you return to Hangzhou this year?"

Dong Wenhui asked Tang Yuan casually.

"Sure."

"Who doesn't go home for the New Year?"

Tang Yuan picked up the top-quality Pu'er tea he had just brewed, poured a cup for Dong Wenhui first, then poured himself a cup, and responded with a smile.

"Then after we return to China, we will go back to our respective families. After the New Year, I will bring the team to Zhonghai. What do you think?" Dong Wenhui asked.

"can."

"You can come back after the Lantern Festival."

Tang Yuan smiled and said, "I see that some of the experts in our National Museum are over 60 years old, and many of them are grandfathers. It is time for them to enjoy their old age, so I am not in such a hurry."

The two sat on the terrace, drinking tea, chatting and waiting for news.

Just half an hour after Dong Wenhui finished his call, the satellite phone that Tang Yuan had placed on the tea table vibrated again.

Tang Yuan and Dong Wenhui looked at each other, and then Dong Wenhui took the initiative to pick up the satellite phone, answered the call, and took the initiative to greet: "Hello, I am Dong Wenhui, may I ask who you are, leader?"

"I'm Tian Jinglin, please hand the phone over to Mr. Tang Yuantang."

Soon, a strong male voice came from the other end of the phone. The unnatural majesty in his words made Dong Wenhui feel as if nails had grown under his butt, and he stood up from his chair instantly.

"Okay, okay. I'll hand the phone over to Tang Yuan right away."

After saying that, Dong Wenhui quickly handed the phone to Tang Yuan, blinking at him frantically.

"Who?"

Tang Yuan asked Dong Wenhui silently by mouthing.

"Tian Jinglin!"

"Deputy General Manager Tian!"

Dong Wenhui leaned over and put his mouth close to Tang Yuan's ear, answering in a very low voice.

After learning the identity of the caller, Tang Yuan couldn't help but blink. Although he was a little surprised by the level of the caller, he was not too surprised. He then picked up the phone and stood up from his chair: "Deputy General Manager Tian, ​​hello, I am Tang Yuan."

Beside him, Dong Wenhui looked at Tang Yuan, who was still calm and composed while talking to Tian Jinglin on the phone. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated Tang Yuan. Just when Dong Wenhui's thoughts were a little confused, Tang Yuan and Tian Jinglin had already contacted...
