PS again: Lao Yang asks for a monthly pass. . . . . .
Curator Wang sighed and said quietly: "This Yao Yuzhong used Tianjin to resell cultural relics for the curators of private museums. In recent years, with the improvement of material levels, the number of private museums has increased sharply, which has also stimulated the cultural relics trading market. The acquisition of a large number of ancient cultural relics has virtually provided a platform for cultural relics trading and has become a gray area."
Lu Ya looked at Xiao Peng: "What you fished out of the sea is also illegal."
Xiao Peng made a cut: "Who said that? I am a legal salvage company, otherwise I can sue Li Sanjiang?"
Curator Wang said to Xiao Peng: "Boss Xiao, I really apologize to you this time. I was really wrong." After speaking, he bowed to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng sighed: "After you go to Curator Wang, the matter is over. After all, no one can do anything without a sage, but Curator Wang, I also hope that this incident will teach you a lesson. Don't be impatient anymore. There are a lot of things, but you don’t have to get everything in your own hands. Let me put it simply, you are not the only major museum in China. You can’t turn all your wealth into your own, right? In general, the purpose of this incident is good. When it comes to the development of the Palace Museum, it is for the country. But in the future, we have to do what we can."
Curator Wang looked ashamed after hearing this: "Boss Xiao, you said that I was cautious in words and deeds all my life, but when I grew old, I made such a thing. I can't keep up with you as a young man. Alas, I am too anxious. After all, the age is old and time is running out. I am afraid that I will not see the day when the Forbidden City Museum becomes a top museum. That’s why I made this move and made Boss Xiao laugh."
Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, if the matter is over, don't mention it. If you do it for yourself, Director Wang, I can tell you without hesitation, I will toss you to death. But if you are for the country, then this matter is forgotten. In fact, sometimes when I think about it, I really think you are very cute and I admire you. If all of us in China are like you, now China will become more prosperous and stronger."
Curator Wang's face blushed when he heard it, and Xiao Peng's education was not a pretty thing for a person of that age.
Fortunately, Lu Ya saw Curator Wang blushing, and said, "After all, Xiao Peng, just say a few words. You are embarrassed to teach Curator Wang such a young person."
Curator Wang hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with age. What Boss Xiao said is to listen to me. Think about a person my age, but now I can't control my greed. Compared with Boss Xiao, it's so kind. I feel ashamed and ashamed to live with a dog these years."
Xiao Peng smiled: "It's OK, Director Wang, now that the matter is over, let's not mention it. I have a gift for you."
Curator Wang hurriedly said: "Boss Xiao, I heard Lao Sun say that you have a batch of large smoke creams that you want to donate to the Palace Museum as exhibits, Boss Xiao, I also want to thank you for not considering the predecessors, alas. ...What did I do?"
Xiao Peng helplessly said: "Curator Wang, don't mention it when things are over. If you really feel embarrassed, then, in the future, will you help me with my palm? Oh, I have a lot of things. Objects, can you help me find a suitable manufacturer to make a showcase or something?"
"Boss Xiao still has a lot of things?" Curator Wang's eyes lit up when he heard it, but he shook his head randomly: "Don't get me wrong, Boss Xiao, I really didn't mean that."
Xiao Peng smiled: "It's alright, don't explain, the gift I give you is not those smoke creams, nor my objects, let's just say that, the value of the gift I give you, I can't Sure, but it always feels like the "Black Rock"?"
"What?" Curator Wang's voice changed: "You mean cultural relics similar to the shipwreck of the'Black Rock'? Are you kidding me?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Actually, I want to fish these boats by myself. After thinking about it, I didn't bother to bother with that. You can discuss it with Lao Sun. Well, I will do it in three ways. "
Curator Wang was stunned: "You said'those ships'?"
Xiao Peng said: "Uh, didn't you go to Southeast Asia some time ago? I found the shipwreck all the way. I didn't record those with no salvage value. There are probably only seven or eight ships with salvage value. I have any coordinates. It’s recorded. I don’t know exactly what’s on it. Most of them are made of sea-fishing porcelain and sea-fishing pottery.
Curator Wang was stunned for a while, and asked: "Boss Xiao, let me ask a question, what kind of ship do you mean by salvage value?"
Xiao Peng said: "Uh, I just look at the size of the ships. These ships should be merchant ships. At least I will record them at the level of the'Black Stone'. I don't even bother to watch the smaller ones."
Director Wang was speechless, with a look of excitement: "Boss Xiao, can you be sure?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I can talk nonsense about such a thing? Salvaging the sunken ship requires a lot of manpower and material resources from the country. If I am venting the gun, do you think Mr. Sun can spare me? I must be pestering me every day to make me lose money, huh! He is not a loser."
Curator Wang asked curiously: "Boss Xiao, forgive me to ask, you can salvage such things by yourself, why don’t you do it yourself? Besides, I know you have friendship with Lao Sun, why don’t you follow this matter? What did he say?"
Xiao Peng heard Curator Wang’s question and looked disgusted: "Did I say I’m lazy--I’m too lazy to salvage! Besides, Grandpa Sun, I’ve never seen him so stingy. One of the glutinous rice chickens--the kind that doesn’t seem to be anything but sticky, I’m going to tell him, he insists on bargaining with me, and in the end he can give me two good achievements."
"Ahem! Your kid is not kind, why do you still speak ill of someone behind your back?" A voice came from behind, and Xiao Peng turned his head to look, hey, it is Lao Sun, who is looking at himself with his back in his arms.
"This really means that the is coming to the turtle." Xiao Peng muttered: "How do you say who is here? Grandpa Sun, how free are you, how can I see you everywhere?"
"What did your kid say?" Old Sun stared.
Xiao Peng hurriedly laughed and said, "Ah, what I'm talking about is that Cao Cao has arrived. You are the best in the world, right?
Old Sun snorted: "I'm not afraid that you will be careful not to let Xiao Wang go? So don't worry about coming over to take a look, but your kid is doing pretty well, knowing righteousness, OK, worthy of praise."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said: "Old Sun, don't put eye drops on me, just tell me if you have anything, anyway, you must be fine with me."
Old Sun also became interested when he heard: "What happened to the shipwreck you just mentioned?"
"Didn't you hear everything?" Xiao Peng gave Old Sun a blank look: "Just say it's done."
Old Sun thought for a while: "You just said that those ships are the same size as the Black Stone? Is that the Black Stone that the Germans fished back then?"
Xiao Peng nodded and asked, "Otherwise, is there any other'Blackstone'?"
"You said there are seven or eight ships?" Old Sun continued to ask.
"That's right." Xiao Peng nodded.
Old Sun thought for a moment, and stretched out two fingers: "Twenty percent!"
"Don't even think about it! Lu Ya! What am I talking about? As long as Grandpa Sun hears this, the first sentence must be 20%! This is a piece of hob meat!" Xiao Peng said anxiously with a pale face.
Speaking of the "Black Stone", that was another pain in the hearts of Huaxia people.
In countries around the world, especially developed countries in Europe and America, there are many private salvage companies that salvage sunken ships from the ocean to make money. But the target is mostly the Atlantic, looking for the wealth of their ancestors.
Of course, many people have taken a different approach and set their goals in Asia. German Walter Law is one of them.
Waterfa turned out to be the owner of a German cement factory. Once by chance, I heard Indonesian workers in their factory saying that there are no ancient treasures in the island waters between Borneo and Sumatra. In 1996, Waterfa took diving tools and Indonesian workers directly and went to the waters they said to find the sunken ship.
As a result, the following year, they discovered the Yingtan shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, and in 1998, they found the shipwreck of the Mageni, which gave Waterfa confidence. In the same year, Waterfa was in a large black area off Belitung Island. A sunken ship was found near the reef and named it'Batushitam', which was translated as'Black Rock' in Chinese.
This ship is really a star in maritime archaeology! Even when the chairman gave a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the
Belt and Road
International Cooperation Summit, he specifically mentioned this ship to tell the splendid history of the exchanges between countries on the ancient Silk Road.
'Black Rock' is not an ancient Chinese ship, but a merchant ship from the Middle East. This can be seen from the shipbuilding technology. Every wooden strip on the ship is with coconut shell fiber, without any The wooden dowel structure and iron clamps can be found, which is completely different from China Shipbuilding. He is also the oldest Arabian ocean-going ship discovered so far! It is known as one of the most important and oldest marine archaeological discoveries in the 20th century. Because the Changsha kiln porcelain bowl with water on the boat bears the reign of the second year of Baoli in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the shipwreck was confirmed as the first half of the ninth century, and it is the oldest sailing ship ever salvaged! The existence of the "Black Stone" directly proves that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a direct maritime ceramic trade between China and Arabia.
More importantly, with this ship salvaged a total of 67,000 cultural relics! There are many national treasures among them! And 98% of the cultural relics are porcelain. Including Changsha kilns, Yue kilns, Xing kilns, Gongxian kilns, etc., and the rest are gold and silverware and bronze mirrors, including the only surviving Tang Dynasty tribute "Jiangxin Mirror", which was discovered on the "Black Stone" ! There are countless other national treasure-level cultural relics, such as the Eight-Linged Huren’s Musical Golden Cup, which is one of the most important Tang dynasty gold wares discovered outside China; various gold, silver and bronze wares are beautiful; there is also a white glaze one meter high. Green color high-footed and long-handled pot, with a diamond-shaped flower leaf pattern on the body. There is no similar shape! The most valuable are the three Tang blue and white porcelains, which are the earliest and most complete blue and white porcelains discovered in China so far!
More and more Chinese cultural relics are coming out of the water, which has attracted the attention of the Chinese side. Several museums requested-buy the treasure on this ship. However, Water Law proposed that the treasure must be purchased as a whole, and according to the contract, Water Law auctioned Black Stone No.’ money must be shared with the Indonesian government. The two parties’ distribution plan did not reach an agreement, so the treasures were not put out for auction.
While China was waiting for the auction news, Li Jiapo took advantage of the vacancy and bought the exhibition rights for the salvaged cultural relics for several years. At this time, Huaxia didn't recruit, and could only wait for the exhibition rights to end before considering starting. However, Li Jiapo slowly raised funds during this period and finally directly purchased the batch of cultural relics. So these precious Chinese national treasures have become Li Jiapo's treasure. I have to say that it is Huaxia's always regret.
Now that Director Gao and Lao Sun have heard that there are seven or eight shipwrecks comparable to the Black Rock, can they not be excited?
You know, so far, there have been more than 100 places where the shipwreck has been salvaged and officially registered by Southeast Asian countries! More than 200 sunken ships were salvaged, most of which were discovered after the 1980s. Among them, the Philippines has the largest number with 41, Indonesia with 27, Thailand with 23, Malaysia with 17 and Vietnam with 10 and China. . . . . . . Location 0-This is also related to China's original lack of attention to shipwrecks and backward salvage technology.
Most of the more than 200 sunken ships were from China, and some were from Europe and the Middle East. All the ships were loaded with fine porcelain, pottery and metalware from China. After being salvaged by them, they all became their own wealth. If China wanted to obtain the wealth, it could only rely on its own spending to buy it back slowly. I have to say that this was a big loss.
When Huaxia came up with technology and paid more attention to the wealth of the sea, the wealth in the South China Sea was basically salvaged, and everything became other people's home. . . . . .
Unexpectedly, in the seabed that has been sifted through the Southeast Asian countries, Xiao Peng was able to find seven or eight sunken ships, and in Xiao Peng’s words, it was the same specification as the Black Rock, and that Director Wang and the others were not excited. , That is pure nonsense.
The salvage of these sunken ships can completely make up for the vacancies in the research of ceramic products in various dynasties and generations of Chinese history, and also bring countless wealth.
The precious treasures are kept in the country, and ordinary wealth can be sold to collectors and enthusiasts. In this way, it can bring a considerable amount of wealth, no matter how you look at it, it is a transaction that is not lost.
This wealth can't let them continue to lie on the bottom of the sea! They must be seen again immediately! This matter brooks no delay!
