Chapter 175: Clash against the Egyptians

After everyone came out, they took off their chemical protective clothing for the first time, and then went to the bathroom of the camp to take a shower. The smell of sweat on the body was too strong! And the clothes are stuck to the body, so I can't stand it if I don't take a shower and change clothes.
Everyone did not rest for a moment after they cleaned up, so many cultural relics are waiting for them there! To them who are engaged in archaeology, it is as happy that a bee meets a bee. If there is any mood to rest, I can't wait to study it carefully! .
When they arrived at the tent where the statue was placed, Joseph and Lei Tiantang were greeted by the leading professor in Egypt, Mahmoud, as soon as they arrived. Lei Tiantang and the others saw him and a few assistants in the tent from afar. They paced back and forth, because they couldn't get in. Without Joseph and their instructions, it was of course impossible for Lei Tiantang's security personnel to let them in.
"Joseph! You are finally here! Hurry up and take us in to see our Egyptian cultural relics!" Mehamud said impatiently as soon as he came up.
"You made a mistake about Mahmoud! These are our cultural relics! They are not from your Egypt. Although they were excavated in your Egypt, we signed the contract in advance. All the discoveries belong to us. For this, we have paid a total of US$2 million to the Egyptian government!" Joseph said seriously.
His words also aroused the dissatisfaction of Mehamud and his assistants behind him. Although they knew that what Joseph said was the truth, they asked them to give up taking these relics and let Joseph and the others take them away. None of the Egyptians present was Willingly!
"Okay! We will discuss these issues later, but can we also go in and see now?" Although he is unwilling, but there is no other way, Mehammoud can only hope to see the situation first, and then contact the government. People see what to do.
Joseph looked at Lei Tiantang, and when he saw him nodding his head, he replied: "Yes! Go in and see if there is no problem, but you can't get started. At most, you are only allowed to take pictures. Do you think you can accept this?"
Seeing the tone of Joseph's questioning, Mahamud knew that if he disagreed, he might not even be able to see it. He could only nod his head to agree if he was under the eaves.
After everyone entered the big tent, Joseph and Kayla began to work, took these statues out of the packaging, and then separated them according to the material and size. Someone was holding a camera and a notebook to record their characteristics. s things. Although they can’t get started, Mahamud and the others are not idle, because they are all statues, and the basic situation can be seen with the naked eye, so they are also busy taking pictures and taking notes. Joseph doesn’t care about them anyway. These things are not yours!
Lei Tiantang came out after satisfying his curiosity. He didn't have the patience to do those meticulous things. Seeing that Kayla and them were all working seriously, he was not easy to disturb them, so he came out to find a place to put the computer When I opened it, I started to read the emails sent to him by various departments of the company. There were some things in the company that he needed to make up his mind, so he had to check it every day and then reply.
The next day, when Joseph and Lei Tiantang were about to enter the pyramid again to open the stone gate of the passage above, the security personnel stopped them, because there were people from Egypt, and the officials were not small. They were visiting Egypt. A deputy minister of management.
Joseph and Lei Tiantang looked at each other, and they all understood that this is probably Mehammoud's successor. They wanted to use the government to pressure them so that they could keep these cultural relics. Lei Tiantang said with a smile: "Professor, go! Let's see how these Egyptians want to pressure us!"
Joseph said with a smile: "Mr. Lei, we can completely ignore them! As long as we don't let go, the Egyptian government can't do anything with us. Anyway, it's not the first time that they let their domestic pyramid texts go out! "
Joseph greeted everyone who had already begun preparations to take a rest and wait until they came back. Then they went to the camp tent with Lei Tiantang, where the Egyptians were already waiting for them.
"Hello! Professor Joseph! I am Aria, Deputy Minister of Tourism Management of Egypt. Thank you very much for unearthing such a complete pyramid in Egypt!" As soon as he entered the door, the vice minister stood up and greeted Joseph warmly. .
"Hello! Minister Aria, welcome your arrival!" Joseph shook his hand.
After greeting him and his entourage to sit down, Joseph asked, "Is Minister Aria coming here for any job?"
"That's it. Yesterday we received a call from Professor Mahmoud, saying that you have brought out hundreds of statues and artifacts from the inside of the pyramid. Our Tourism Management Department attaches great importance to this matter, so we sent me to take a look. Could you please discuss with us about leaving some of the statues to our Egyptian government, even if it is a small one!" Aria said with a smile.
"Mr. Minister! I think you must have seen the contract we signed with your government before you came. We have spent a huge sum of US$2 million to buy all the cultural relics in this pyramid! Knowing whether there is any gain, the price we paid is not unreasonable. At that time, your government officials also fully agreed ~EbookFREE.me~ Now you see that we have gained something and want us to keep a part. The cultural relics, this approach seems inappropriate?" Joseph said seriously.
"Yes! I know this! But professor, you must also understand the difficulties of our government. Our Egyptian tourism industry is our pillar industry, and pyramid tourism is our top priority! You are now excavating this one. The Pyramid will definitely develop tourism in the future, and cultural relics are also part of tourism.
If so many cultural relics are excavated in our country, and we have nothing to gain, we have no way to explain to our people! So we are also willing to pay a price for you to agree to leave a hundred cultural relics, these costs are all negotiable! "Aria said seriously.
"We also understand this situation, but you have to talk to our investors about this matter. All the gains here belong to him! My team only has the right to research and publish papers! Let me introduce you, this one It is President Lei, he fully invested in our operation!" Joseph introduced him to Aria after obtaining Lei Tiantang's consent.
"I'm very sorry! I didn't know Mr. Lei for the first time! Welcome to Egypt!" At this time, Aria realized that the young Asian man who had been sitting next to Joseph silently was actually the investor in this archeological operation, so he Quickly stand up and shake hands with Lei Tiantang.
