Chapter 405: Asking the Country to Help Sell Stolen Goods

phone-reading

The heist at the Metropolitan Museum in New York ignited the world's media. (w W W . V o Dtw . c o M) But Zhou Qingfeng is thinking about how to sell his precious gems and artworks every day. He doesn't pay much attention to the outside world, and he doesn't even know that 'GOD' is behind his back. looking for trouble.

And if you want to sell the good stuff on hand, it's no better than selling one or two diamonds in the past. Zhou Qingfeng tentatively picked out some of the tens of thousands of carats of gemstones in his box, including rubies, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, tourmalines and so on.

In the end, I sent the samples to my teacher Ma who helped sell gems, and the old man Ma was almost scared to death. He grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand and asked, "Did you rob that bank's vault?"

Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself with a wry smile: Teacher, why are you so excited? I only got less than one percent of it, so I don't have a whole box. He asked, "Teacher, can you help me sell it?"

Mr. Ma shook his head like a rattle, "Don't be kidding, if you sell so much, if you don't keep it all, others will blackmail me. At the most, if it's a steady stream, a few dozen carats a month will be enough."

More than ten carats a month? How long will it take for me to sell a box of tens of thousands of carats? Now Zhou Qingfeng shook his head like a rattle. He said dejectedly, "Is there no other way?"

Mr. Ma resolutely refused: "No one in the black market jewelry business is a good person. If you sell a small amount, he can accept it with a smile on your face and tell you to continue selling it to him next time. But if you sell such a large amount, If there is no backstage, it will definitely be hacked, and there will be no scum left."

This makes sense! There is no good person in the black market business, as long as there is interest, he can do all kinds of crooked things. Zhou Qingfeng could only push various gemstones of more than ten carats, and said in frustration: "Teacher, these gemstones are consigned to you."

After leaving Mr. Ma's pawn shop, the night was as dark as ink, not even a single starlight. Zhou Qingfeng walked slowly outside along the street lights, wondering where to find a safe and secure high-roller to eat these things for himself. It's really not easy to come up with a suitable idea after pondering over and over again!

After two days, the imperial capital, the Palace Museum.

Researcher Jin, who is in his sixties, wanders into his office. Places like theirs that study antiques are very particular about the office environment. A table, a chair, a pen and an ink all have some background, not to mention how precious it is, but to be elegant.

"Mr. Jin, there is a package for you on the table." The staff on duty at the concierge reminded when they saw Researcher Jin.

The package is not big, but the packaging is strong. Researcher Jin looked at the sender and found that it was Zhang San, and it turned out to be a fake on the phone. Strangely, he opened the package with a pair of scissors, only to find that it was stuffed with plastic foam.

Finally, the plastic foam was removed to reveal the true content of the inner object - a white porcelain bottle. The mouth of the bottle is curled, the neck is slender, the shoulders are sloping, the belly is drooping, and the feet are round.

Whoops...

Old man Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he took a closer look, sized it up carefully, and confirmed it repeatedly with a small magnifying glass. Finally, he decided that it was a Ding kiln jade pot and spring vase in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was very valuable. Not long ago, Christie's auction house in Hong Kong auctioned a similar bottle, which cost tens of millions!

Hiss..., who would send these tens of millions of things casually? If this is smashed, it will be a big loss.

Researcher Jin looked at the package slip repeatedly, and saw a note in the package box. On the note, the words from the newspaper were cut and pasted into a sentence and an email address. That sentence is 'I still have a more precious national treasure in my hand, and I am willing to donate it to the country. But I hope the country can help me, okay? '

Whoops..., this is incredible! It feels serious.

When Researcher Jin saw this, he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly called the curator and security personnel of the Palace Museum,

Also called the police. At this moment, the Imperial City Police Department is paying attention to the jokes of the New York Police Department. When they heard the Palace Museum call the police, a group of police officers were so scared that they peed out.

The director was almost out of his wits, and led the team to rush over in person. He was thinking to himself along the way: Don't let anything serious happen. If the Forbidden City is stolen, the whole country will be shocked, my official has done it all!

Waiting for the director to see Researcher Jin, he saw that the room was full of grave-faced people. His heart sank, and he was about to faint with a buzzing in his head. This is definitely a big deal, "Is it because some national treasure has been stolen?"

"Stolen? We were not stolen." Researcher Jin was a witness to the incident, and he took the initiative to tell the story. "Someone sent us a cultural relic."

It doesn't sound like it was stolen, but someone sent the precious cultural relics over. The police chief of the imperial capital just breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why did you call the police?"

"Because the Northern Song Dynasty Dingyao Yuhuchun vase we received is in a sense stolen. Of course, we will never admit that it is stolen goods. This is the treasure of our country." Researcher Jin turned on the computer, Enter the email address that came with the package, there are a lot of photos in this email.

"We have just identified it ourselves. The things in these photos should be the Chinese cultural relics stolen from the Metropolitan Museum in New York not long ago. Right now, this jade pot and spring vase is just one of the lowest grades. Some of the other things can even be said to be national treasures. We thought this was the burglar who stole the Metropolitan Museum in New York and came to us."

Those who can squeeze into Researcher Jin's office are old experts and scholars in the Palace Museum, and they agree with what Researcher Jin said. Even the curator of the museum stood up and said seriously: "Look at this picture, a gilded bronze statue of Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

This is one of the few gilt-bronze Buddhas left in the world. The statue is well preserved and still radiant after thousands of years. It is an out-and-out national treasure and is invaluable. If it can be taken back, it can be regarded as an explanation to future generations. It can be said that the merits of the present age will benefit the future. "

Hearing that it was actually related to the theft of the Metropolitan Museum in the United States, all the policemen who entered the house became serious. After listening to the ins and outs of the matter again, the director felt dizzy.

This matter is not a small case, and the director has no way to deal with it and must report it to the Ministry of Public Security, and even the National Security Bureau will intervene. The only thing he can do now is to find out where this mysterious package came from? Secondly, we need to find out how these precious cultural relics came to China from the United States on the other side of the world?

But before the investigation, what is more important is how to respond to the current request of the parcel sender. You must know that Chinese people go to large museums abroad and see their country’s national treasures being taken by others and displayed publicly. It’s not a good feeling!

Now some people have brought back the Chinese cultural relics that were lost abroad in the past one or two hundred years in modern times. Although the means cannot be put on the table, this is an out-and-out patriotic act. Who dares to say that sending these national treasures back is definitely a traitor!

A group of old men in the museum strongly stated that no matter what the police think, since these national treasures may return to China, they must not be allowed to make any mistakes. But what is the request of the mysterious man who delivered the package?

Researcher Jin had a troubled expression on his face, as if he was constipated, he held back for a long time before saying, "He wants us to help him sell the stolen goods."

What? Find the country to help you sell the stolen goods, it's a shame you can figure it out! (To be continued.)
