Chapter 1959 Surprising News
British Museum, China Pavilion.
Although it was already in the afternoon, there were no fewer tourists visiting the China Pavilion. The place was still crowded with tourists from all over the world.
Among them are many tourists from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, who copy Mandarin or dialects of various places, which sounds quite friendly.
Looking at the many Chinese antique artworks displayed in the showcases, hung on the walls, or placed on the booths, all Chinese tourists felt somewhat heavy while appreciating them.
There is no other reason. The Chinese antiques displayed in the British Museum are basically plundered from China by the British through previous wars and other despicable means.
For all Chinese tourists, these exquisite antique works of art in front of them not only represent the splendid and splendid Chinese civilization, but also condense a period of history that makes all Chinese people feel humiliated.
The people in this exhibition hall are concentrating on admiring the exquisite antique artworks, and many of them have intoxicated expressions on their faces.
Even if someone is discussing or discussing something, they will deliberately lower their voices so as not to disturb other visitors around them.
Suddenly, there was a small commotion at the entrance of the exhibition hall, which somewhat destroyed the environment in the exhibition hall.
All the tourists in this exhibition hall turned their heads to look at the door, not understanding what happened there.
The next moment, a group of people in suits and leather shoes walked into the China Pavilion. They were very formally dressed and followed by many security personnel. They seemed out of place with the artistic environment in the exhibition hall.
Everyone was very familiar with the two people walking in the front of the group and in the middle. They were Prince William and Ye Tian.
Needless to say, Prince William is the second heir to the British king, and his exposure rate is very high. It is impossible for anyone who has a certain understanding of Britain not to know him.
As for Ye Tian, he is also the focus of attention in the UK, and even the whole world. It can be said that everyone knows and knows.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is now the target of everyone's envy and jealousy, and almost everyone wants to replace him and take the treasure of the Knights Templar, which is enough to make people crazy, into their pockets.
Except for Ye Tian and Prince William, David and others who entered the China Pavilion together with them, as well as Fisher, the curator of the British Museum, all looked familiar or knew each other.
The arrival of Ye Tian and his group caused a commotion in the China Pavilion without any accident.
Seeing their group, the many tourists who were visiting the exhibition hall were stunned for a moment, and then they started discussing excitedly.
"Wow! I didn't expect Steven and Prince William to come to the China Pavilion, accompanied by Fisher, the curator of the British Museum. This battle is not small, and it seems that something big will happen."
"Looking at Ye Tian's smiling face, he must have had a very good harvest. With his usual ruthless behavior, the British guy must have been ruthlessly slaughtered."
Obviously, everyone knew the purpose of Ye Tian and the others coming to the British Museum today, and knew that he was here to negotiate deals with the British Museum and other British cultural institutions.
At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can tell from the state of their group that the talks are going very smoothly, Ye Tian must have gained a lot, and the British will also gain something.
While talking, Ye Tian and Prince William and his party have all entered the China Pavilion,
While talking and laughing in a low voice, they walked to the depths of the exhibition hall.
Many tourists in the exhibition hall have woken up at this time, and began to greet Ye Tian and Prince William one after another.
Since there are not only tourists from China, but also many tourists from other parts of the world, the greetings are divided into two languages, Mandarin and English.
"Good afternoon, Ye Tian, can you tell me about your harvest? It is said that your goal is to collect high-quality Chinese antique artworks. What treasures did you exchange from the British? Tell us and let us be happy."
No need to ask, the person who greeted me was a Chinese tourist, and he was from the mainland. He spoke Mandarin with a perfect accent, which sounded very comfortable.
Ye Tian stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at the Chinese man in his forties, and said loudly in Mandarin with a smile on his face:
"Good afternoon, big brother, it's a pleasure to meet you here, I did have a very good harvest today, and exchanged a lot of top-notch Chinese antique works of great value.
However, for the sake of confidentiality, it is inconvenient to disclose the specific Chinese antique artworks for the time being. If you want to know more, you can pay attention to the press conference held tomorrow afternoon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a British man in his fifties began to ask Prince William loudly.
"Good afternoon, Your Royal Highness, my name is Richard, and I am from Birmingham. Could you tell me what the UK got in this art transaction? Will King Edward I's golden crown stay in the UK?"
While asking loudly, the British guy took a deep look at Ye Tian, his eyes full of fear and envy.
Prince William looked at each other, then smiled and said:
"Good afternoon Mr Richard, great to see you here, hope you and your family have a wonderful day here and enjoy your trip to London.
Regarding the specific content of this art transaction, it needs to be kept secret for the time being. At the joint press conference tomorrow afternoon, we will disclose the specific content of the transaction.
Thank you very much for your attention, although I cannot disclose the details of the transaction, but here, I can assure you and all British people that everyone will definitely get a satisfactory result."
"clap clap"
There was a burst of applause, short and warm.
Next, Ye Tian, Prince William and his party continued to move forward, kept saying hello to the surrounding tourists, and responded to the questions of several tourists.
After a while, the group of them came to the depths of the China Pavilion and stopped at the door of an independent exhibition hall.
In fact, this independent exhibition hall is more like a secret room, and its name is Stein's secret room.
Compared with other areas in the China Pavilion, Stein's secret room is very special. The door is locked tightly, and there is no light leaking inside, and there are several security personnel guarding the door of the secret room.
These guys were all staring at each other with wide eyes, staring closely at the few Chinese tourists walking back and forth at the door of the secret room.
As for the few Chinese tourists, they were all quite old, at least in their fifties, and they all looked like experts and scholars, with a bookish air all over their bodies, quite refined!
Without exception, these old men all stared at Stein's secret room which was close at hand, their eyes full of expectation and regret.
Obviously, they all wanted to enter this secret room and visit the Chinese antique art collection inside, but the locked door blocked their footsteps, preventing them from entering.
Before reaching Stein's secret room, Ye Tian saw these old men walking back and forth, and there was a very familiar face among them.
It was Mr. Qian, a top calligraphy and painting appraisal expert from the Shanghai Museum. Ye Tian had met this Mr. Qian at the private auction at the Beijing Hotel during the Spring Festival last year.
When he saw the other party, Old Man Qian also saw him, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The other old men were also the same, and they all stared at Ye Tian with wide eyes.
Obviously, these old men were too focused. They didn't pay attention to the situation at the entrance of the China Pavilion before, and didn't know that Ye Tian came here.
While speaking, Ye Tian and his group had already arrived at the door of Stein's secret room and stopped.
"Steven, this is Stein's Chamber of Secrets, where Gu Kaizhi's Tang Dynasty copy of "The Admonitions of the Female History" is stored. There are also other Chinese antique works of art stored in this secret chamber, each of which is priceless."
Fisher gave a brief look at the famous secret room in front of him, his words were full of reluctance, and even a bit of pain.
"Fischer, of course I know this is Stein's secret room. Every time I come to the British Museum before, I will come here to see it. Unfortunately, every time I have been shut down, this secret room has always locked the door."
Ye Tian nodded with a smile and said, with a bit of regret in his tone, but more pride.
Of course, this regret will no longer exist in the future, not only for him, but also for all Chinese tourists who come here to visit.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Fisher was about to respond, but Ye Tian took the lead.
"His Royal Highness, Fisher, gentlemen, please wait here for a moment. I saw several experts and scholars from China. They are all my predecessors. I need to go and say hello."
Prince William and the others all nodded without any objection.
Afterwards, Ye Tian walked towards Mr. Qian and the others not far away.
When he came close, he immediately stretched out his right hand to Mr. Qian, and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Qian, I didn't expect to see you all at the British Museum. It's such a coincidence. Don't ask me, all of you are here for the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shi Zhen Tu"?"
Qian Lao shook hands with Ye Tian, then chuckled and said in a low voice:
"Good afternoon, Ye Tian, we didn't expect to meet you here, kid. The noise you made this time is really great. It can be said that it has caused a sensation in the whole world. It is impressive!
The reason why we came to the UK and the British Museum this time is because of the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions for Women's History", and we are ready to appreciate this important national treasure that has been lost overseas.
However, the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions for Women's History" is only publicly exhibited twice a year, but we missed the time for the public exhibition.
In fact, long before we came to the UK, we applied to the British Museum, hoping to appreciate this national treasure, and the British Museum also agreed. The date of appointment is today.
But who would have imagined that the British suddenly changed their minds and canceled the appointment. Doesn’t this confuse people? It’s really disgusting. If we knew this, why would we come all the way to London to be rejected by this door?”
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately laughed, very proudly.
"Hahaha, Mr. Qian, you don't need to be angry, let alone feel sorry. The reason why the British Museum canceled your appointment was not intentional, and there are other reasons.
The reason is very simple. As early as three days ago, the night I discovered the treasure of the Knights Templar, Gu Kaizhi’s Tang Dynasty copy of "The Admonitions of the Female History" no longer belonged to the British Museum.
This priceless national treasure now belongs to me, the boy. I exchanged it for a priceless British treasure. Of course, the British Museum can no longer let you visit it! "
"What? The Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions for Women's History" belongs to you, kid. Am I right?"
Qian Lao exclaimed in a low voice, and even shook his excited body a few times, his legs softened immediately, and he sat down on the ground.
Fortunately, Ye Tian was well prepared and responded in a timely manner. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the old man's arm and supported him.
The situation of the rest of the experts and scholars was not much better, they all stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyes were so wide that their eyeballs were about to fly out!
