Chapter 1967 Looting Stein's Chamber
In the blink of an eye, it was already twelve thirty at noon.
Ye Tian and the others have completed the identification of antique works of art such as the Dunhuang Collection of the British Library and the "Yongle Canon", and left the British Library.
They left with Shan Lao and many other top calligraphy and painting appraisal experts, as well as a group of cultural and museum staff from the Forbidden City and the National Museum.
The cleaning work of the ancient rare books and historical documents used by the British Library to trade with Ye Tian has been fully launched and is in progress.
Those responsible for sorting out those ancient and rare books and historical documents were ten employees under Ye Tian, twenty professional cultural and cultural personnel from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, and several calligraphy and painting appraisal experts were on site to guide.
Supervising the scene was a team of lawyers headed by Anderson, and several heavily armed security personnel were in charge of security work.
As for Ye Tian and Mr. Shan, there is no need to stay in the British Library anymore. The British Museum and the David Foundation still have many priceless top-level antiques waiting for them to appraise them.
When they left the British Library, Mr. Shan and the others were reluctant to part with each other, fearing that if they turned around and left this time, they would never see the priceless treasures of the Dunhuang Canon and the "Yongle Dadian" again.
However, when they thought of the top Chinese antique artworks collected by the British Museum and the David Foundation that were about to return to China, they were all very excited and walked quickly.
Same as when they came in the morning, in order to avoid attracting the attention of many media reporters, Ye Tian, Mr. Shan and others left the British Library in batches.
Ye Tian and the others left from the main entrance first, attracting the attention of all media reporters.
After they left with a high profile, Mr. Shan and his group came out from the side door of the British Library with a large number of cultural and museum personnel, boarded two luxury buses, and headed straight for the British Museum without attracting anyone's attention.
After leaving the British Library, Ye Tian and the others did not go to the British Museum immediately, but found a decent restaurant and had lunch.
After lunch, they rushed to the British Museum.
When they arrived, Mr. Shan and a large number of cultural and museum personnel had already entered the museum, still as tourists.
After entering the British Museum, under the leadership of a deputy curator, Ye Tian and the others went straight to the China Pavilion.
At this time, the China Pavilion had already closed ahead of schedule, and many tourists who came to visit were turned away, not knowing what happened.
Of course, the closure is only for ordinary visitors, not for Ye Tian and the others.
After entering the China Pavilion, Ye Tian and the others quickly came to the door of Stein's secret room, and joined Old Shan and the others who had arrived here earlier.
Next, Fisher, the curator of the British Museum, personally opened the door of Stein's secret room, and led Ye Tian, Mr. Shan and the others into this famous secret room.
Like Ye Tian who just came here yesterday, the first thing Shan Lao and the others entered Stein Ying's secret room was to go straight to the bulletproof glass showcase where the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" was displayed.
Each of them wanted to appreciate that priceless treasure. Before, it was extremely difficult to see the "Picture of the Female History's Proverbs". It also depended on the British guy's face. Now that they have the opportunity, why not enjoy it?
The ensuing scene can be imagined. Almost every Chinese who entered Stein's secret room gathered in front of the three showcases where the three sections of "The Admonitions of the Female History" were displayed respectively.
I admired it fascinatedly.
In a blink of an eye, Stein's secret room was filled with endless clicks of admiration and excited discussions.
Of course, occasionally there are a few complaints, all of which are complaints about the stupid behavior of the British guy's reckless waste and random tailoring, which has caused irreversible damage to this unparalleled national treasure.
Ye Tian and David stood aside, chatting with Fisher and others in low voices.
"Steven, how do you plan to transport this "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" back to Beijing? This priceless treasure with a history of more than a thousand years is very fragile and cannot withstand tossing, you know that!
Although this priceless treasure already belongs to you, I still hope that it will be safe and sound, that it will be transported to Beijing safely, and that it will be preserved in the best conditions to prolong its lifespan as much as possible.”
Fisher said in a low voice with a smile, his tone was quite sincere and somewhat reluctant.
"Admonitions of Female History" is the treasure of the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum, and its value is immeasurable. As the curator of the British Museum, he is certainly not willing to part with this priceless treasure.
Ye Tian looked at the British guy, then smiled confidently and said:
"Don't worry, Fisher, we have a way to safely transport this priceless treasure to Beijing, where it will be displayed in my personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City, without any harm.
When appraising this "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" later, we will make a comprehensive assessment of its situation to see which method of transportation is more appropriate, and we will definitely find a surefire strategy.
If this "Picture of Admonitions of the Female History" is in good condition and there will be no more debris, then I am going to roll up this painting and transport it in a portable safe, which is naturally the best result.
If the state of preservation is normal and there are still slags, just in case, I don’t mind removing all three bulletproof glass display cabinets, and transporting them all back to Beijing will not take much trouble.”
"It can be seen that you have made all kinds of preparations, so we can rest assured."
"Of course, this is a genuine priceless treasure, dare I not be careful?"
Ye Tian nodded in response, his words were full of confidence.
Afterwards, the few of them continued to chat in low voices, Mr. Shan and the others were still admiring the "Picture of Female History's Proverbs" displayed in the display cabinet, all of them stared at it with straight eyes, fascinated.
Ten minutes later, it seemed that the time was almost up, so Ye Tian walked over to wake up the old men one by one, otherwise God knows when they will appreciate it!
The old men who woke up were all so excited that they couldn't even speak smoothly, their voices were trembling non-stop.
"Ye Tian, you kid really did a great deed. You can personally appraise and bring this national treasure back to China. Even if my old guy didn't work in vain, this life is worth it!"
Shan Lao said excitedly, his face was flushed, and even his voice was trembling.
"Hey——! Are you really willing to let go, this will be a lifetime? Don't tell me! This is where it is! In Stein's secret room, there are not only "Pictures of Women's History", but also my 5,000-volume Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures Woolen cloth.
In addition, there are "Green Landscape Map" by Li Sixun of the Tang Dynasty, the ancestor of the "Northern School", "Maolin Mountains and Peaks Map" by Juran of the Five Dynasties, "Visiting Friends with a Piano" by Fan Kuan of the Northern Song Dynasty, and "Visiting Friends with a Piano" by Su Shi. Ink Bamboo Picture" and so on.
Each of these Chinese antique works of art is a priceless treasure, and you still need your help to identify them. When you return to Beijing, how to protect and display these national cultural treasures still needs your advice! "
Ye Tian said jokingly, with an exaggerated expression.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and all the Chinese people in Stein's secret room laughed.
Amidst the laughter, Old Shan patted Ye Tian's shoulder lightly, his eyes were kind and full of appreciation.
After the laughter fell, everyone began to work, counting and appraising the top antique artworks that Ye Tian had collected and was about to bring back to China.
Needless to say, every piece of Chinese antique art here is genuine and truly priceless.
British guys like Fisher are very familiar with Ye Tian's ability to appraise antique works of art, plus Mr. Shan and other top antique art appraisal experts from China, so they don't dare to play tricks.
Playing tricks in front of these top professionals on this occasion is undoubtedly self-inflicted humiliation, and there is no second result other than this.
In the blink of an eye, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Ye Tian called my sister-in-law and the busy old Shan together, and whispered to the two of them:
"Sister-in-law, Mr. Shan, I'm going to St. Paul's Cathedral. The tripartite joint press conference will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral at three o'clock. I have to go there.
How about you two? Do you continue to clear these priceless treasures here, or do you come with me to St. Paul's Cathedral for the upcoming joint press conference? "
Without the slightest hesitation, the aunt immediately shook her head and said:
"I won't go to St. Paul's Cathedral. On that occasion, we'd better not show up in public. It might cause you some unnecessary trouble. As we all know, foreign devils always see us with colored glasses!
Compared with attending a press conference, I would rather clean up these priceless treasures, count the trophies you won this time, and then ship them all back to China, this is the purpose of my coming to London"
As soon as the words fell, Old Shan standing beside him immediately said:
"Your sister-in-law is right, Ye Tian, we are indeed not suitable to appear at the press conference, it will cause you trouble, we will take away so many priceless treasures this time, it will definitely make many people jealous.
In Europe and the United States, there has never been a shortage of bastards who are hostile to our country and want to stir up trouble for no reason. In addition, those Western media reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world, it is undoubtedly the best choice for us not to appear.
Besides, we are not willing to leave here, and it is a great honor for each of us to personally participate in the return of these national treasures, and we can clearly distinguish which is more important."
Hearing this, what else could Ye Tian say.
He nodded slightly, and said with a smile:
"Well then, you two will continue to stay here and take everyone to clean up these priceless treasures. My legal team will assist you on the spot and supervise those British guys. Don't worry about security issues."
"Understood, don't worry about showing off, kid, just leave it to us"
The little aunt smiled and nodded, and the old man also nodded slightly.
Next, Ye Tian told everyone a few more words and made some corresponding arrangements before taking David and the others away and heading straight to St. Paul's Cathedral.
