From the Island Owner to the King

Find the treasure of the Inca Empire in the jungles of South America. Deep in the Amazon rainforest, a lost Akka civilization has been discovered.

......

I won't say much more about his legendary adventures, treasure hunts, and the treasures of his storied underground treasury.

If you are interested in his legendary adventures and treasure hunting stories, you can do a search.

What I want to say is that there are quite a few Chinese national treasures in his hands. As far as everyone knows, there are: two bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals in Yuanmingyuan, which are snake heads and sheep heads. There are 2048 volumes of pre-Qin bamboo slips and a batch of bronze wares from the Xia Dynasty, the number reaching more than 1,000 pieces.

At the beginning, when Liu Zhenhe saw the name Chen Rui in the upper left corner of the paper's homepage, he would not associate with the adventurer Chen Rui at all.

Because the label of adventurer Chen Rui is Adventure, Treasure, Tortuga Island, ..., anyway, it will definitely not be associated with Chen Rui, a historian who submitted academic papers to the "World History Journal" .

Later, after Liu Zhenhe checked it, he realized that Chen Rui in Liu Zhenhe's image was the one labelled Adventure, Treasure Hunt, and Treasure after submitting academic papers to the Journal of World History. Chen Rui.

"Is it possible to convince Chen Rui to donate this batch of bronzes to the country?" Zhao Zhenguo, a cultural relic researcher from the Yanjing Museum in a black tunic suit, a little fat, and a pair of presbyopic glasses, asked Liu Zhenhe.

Liu Zhenhe shook his head and said, "If it's just one or two pieces. Maybe it's possible, but it's probably impossible for him to donate all of these bronzes. You know. The initial estimate of these bronzes is more than 7 billion. It would be too embarrassing to ask Chen Rui to donate all the bronze wares worth 7 billion RMB at once."

In fact it is.

Think for a second.

If you were in this situation and asked you to donate items worth more than 7 billion RMB all at once, would you?

Of the 15 people present, 14 must choose not to, and one person told a lie.

This is the real side of human nature. It has nothing to do with high school and saints.

Liu Zhenhe continued, "There are several leaders in the central government who are very concerned about this matter. The evaluation of Chen Rui is very high."

Wu Zhengyi said, "Could it be that these Xia Dynasty bronzes were lost overseas?

Is there no possibility of returning to China? "

"Yes." Liu Zhenhe said, "As for this question, I will go through with Chen Rui. It is good news to get Chen Rui's reply.

Chen Rui said that as a Chinese, he is very proud of China's splendid civilization. He also hopes that this batch of Xia Dynasty bronzes from China will be returned to China, so that all Chinese people can appreciate what they are proud of. He expressed his willingness to sell these bronzes and donated two bronze statues of the zodiac animals in Yuanmingyuan to China. "

"Great."

"It's good news."

......

Liu Zhenhe's answer was very exciting news for the dozen people present.

There was a smile on everyone's face.

"Even if Chen Rui is willing to sell it, buying this batch of Xia Dynasty bronzes is not a small sum. You also said that the preliminary estimate of these Xia Dynasty bronzes is more than 7 billion." Someone asked a question.

Liu Zhenhe smiled and said. "The central leadership is very concerned about this matter, and they also very much hope that China's national treasures will be returned to China, no matter how much it costs. The acquisition money can be allocated from the Ministry of Finance."

This is another exciting news for everyone.

-----

After everyone's discussion, a working group of Xia Wenming's Light was established.

As the name suggests, the purpose of this group is to make the ancient Chinese Xia civilization shine again and let people all over the world re-understand the Chinese Xia civilization.

The main tasks of this working group are:

1. Acquired this batch of Xia Dynasty bronzes that were returned to Chen Rui.

2. This batch of Xia Dynasty bronzes was studied and demonstrated, and a summary report was formed. Let the international academic community change the definition of Chinese civilization, and let people all over the world re-understand the Chinese civilization of the Xia Dynasty.

3. Establish a Xia Dynasty bronze ware museum to display these Xia Dynasty bronze wares.

The working group eventually numbered hundreds of people.

These include domestic famous historians, archaeologists, scholars, bronze-item cultural relic appraisal experts, Ministry of Finance officials, legal experts, evaluation experts, negotiation experts, etc.

After the Xia Wenmingzhiguang working group was established, they quickly contacted Chen Rui.

Chen Rui responded: It can be sold.

Chen Rui commissioned a large professional appraisal company to evaluate the value of these Xia Dynasty bronzes.

Items evaluated include: Qijian, Xiahou Ding Ding, Yiqipan, 1237 bronzes.

Among them, the one with the highest evaluation value is Yiqipan, which has "all the history of Xia".

Evaluation experts have a very high evaluation of Yiqipan.

The shape of the Yiqi plate is very large, the cast is exquisite, and the decoration is exquisite. It is a masterpiece among Chinese bronzes, and its artistic value is very high.

The inner wall of the plate is engraved with 24 lines and 517 characters, describing the achievements of the Xia Dynasty from the beginning of Yu to the nine generations of Mang after Xia. event. This gives Yiqipan several times of research and archaeological value of its artistic value.

Evaluation experts unanimously gave Yiqipan a high price of US$187.1 million, equivalent to RMB 1.1594 billion.

It broke the highest record set by Picasso's "Women of Algiers (Version O)" for $179 million in the history of art auctions.

Some evaluation experts even speculate that if the auction goes up, the price of Yiqipan may exceed 200 million US dollars.

Why they think so.

It is because Chinese bronzes have a long history and a long history, both in terms of historical value and artistic value, they can be called the highest artistic achievement of bronze in the world.

Its value is world-renowned, and it is a well-deserved main force in the collection market.

Chinese bronzes have been sought after and invested by more and more international and domestic collectors and investors.

The market is getting better and better, and some fine bronzes can be auctioned for very high prices.

For example, a piece of 'Min Fang' in the late Shang Dynasty was auctioned for US$ 9.246 million in 2001. At the average exchange rate of 8.27 for that year, the total price of the 'Min Fang' exceeded RMB 76 million.

Considering the surging currency and the increasing popularity and betting of bronzes by collectors and investors, the market for bronzes is getting better and better.

With the current market price, this "Dan Fangzhu" has reached hundreds of millions of RMB. (To be continued)
