Chapter 0854: Belonging (I)
Early April in Beijing’s bright spring, the museum road on both sides of the magnolia blooming, snow-white flowers exceptionally beautiful, a fragrance overflowing in the air.
Early in the morning outside the museum is crowded with people, long guns and short cannons can be seen everywhere, hustle and bustle is not lively.
These people are both from the world’s countries and regions in China journalists, but also from all corners of the world to participate in the meeting of experts and scholars, but also a number of international theft organizations to come to step on the point of the thief, a variety of identity Linlin all in all.
The press conference and the back of the academic conference, Dingguang Museum has been reported to the Ministry of Culture, due to centuries of China’s weakness, the domestic cultural relics have always been out of no entry, and now the Dingguang Museum can have world-class precious relics, the country also attaches great importance to this.
This is worth publicizing, in fact, just a few days ago, the Palace Museum had approached Zhuang Rui, put forward the acquisition of gold anchors and gold masks of these two precious cultural relics of the idea, but was Zhuang Rui refused.
What a joke? Zhuang Rui nine deaths to get so a few things, the country wants to take back a word? Zhuang Rui is not so noble consciousness, rather than let the treasure hidden in the palace library, it is better to stay in their own museums, for many tourists to appreciate it!
Even if the Palace side backed down a step, want to give this batch of pirate treasure to open a special show, time set at one month, Zhuang Rui also did not agree, because he is the Palace Museum of anti-theft facilities, not very assured, from the founding of the country, the Palace of cultural relics stolen at least no less than five times.
Originally, the leader to find Zhuang Rui negotiation, but also want to give Zhuang Rui on a few hats to knock him down, but then heard Zhuang Rui’s background, immediately shrunk back to the outside world began to praise Zhuang Rui the profound meaning of the academic conference came.
For this reason, the specifications of the conference was set at the highest level, the scene of the grand, involving more countries and regions, no less than the State Council General Office held a press conference.
Outside the museum, there were also old several police cars and military vehicles parked, and some public security officers wearing police uniforms and armed police fighters with live guns and nuclear bombs were maintaining order.
Knowing that this time, two valuable treasures were going to be publicized in the conference, security naturally had to be put in the first place.
“Mr. Zhuang, a total of ninety-three countries’ media reporters have come today, a big scene!”
Inside the museum’s conference room, looking at the staff who were in the process of finally setting up the conference room, Huangfu Yun had some excitement on his face, today’s press conference was organized by him. Undoubtedly, after this conference, the reputation of the Dingguang Museum could definitely resonate throughout the world.
As the actual manager of the Dingguang Museum, Huangfu Yun will have a place in the world’s museums, and the Dingguang Museum with the Golden Mask and Picasso’s works can be included in the ranks of the world’s first-class museums.
“Brother Huangfu, you’re just reading from a script, but I still have to answer reporters’ questions!”
Zhuang Rui glanced at Huangfu Yun with dissatisfaction, his heart was also a little nervous, he was not willing to show his face to participate in the press conference, but since he was the discoverer of the treasure, he could only be the one to answer the reporters’ questions, another person couldn’t answer it ah!
Today Zhuang Rui dressed very grand, not to mention the suit, that is, the face was also slightly processed by the makeup artist, the original sun tanned face has become a lot of fairer, Zhuang Rui is afraid of a moment of nervousness to get out of the sweat, will not put the foundation to show?
Security director Yang Jian hurriedly walked over from the conference room, said in Zhuang Rui’s ear: “Mr. Zhuang, all the arrangements have been made to ensure that it can be foolproof.”
“At 9:50, let those media in. Also take those experts who are attending the academic conference and invite them to sit in the large conference room.”
Zhuang Rui looked at the table, there were still 20 minutes to 10 o’clock, putting the press conference and academic conference inside the museum would be a big test for the security of the museum.
Zhuang Rui originally wanted to arrange in some five-star hotel conference room, but the gold anchor and Egyptian gold mask were too expensive, afraid of any problems on the way of transportation, so finally decided to hold the conference in his own territory.
Ten o’clock in the morning, can accommodate three hundred people in the conference room, has been a full house, those photojournalists, but also early will be a variety of cameras, aimed at the podium of the press conference.
Especially those two were covered by red silk, guarded by armed police, but also much attention, everyone knows, that will be the theme of the entire press conference.
Zhuang Rui and Huangfu Yun entered the conference room from the side door, the two of them just sat on the podium, the flash immediately “crackling” below, blinding glare, so Zhuang Rui had to squint his eyes.
Zhuang Rui was not used to this kind of occasion, and looked toward Huangfu Yun and said softly, “Let’s start!”
Huangfu Yun but seems very natural, as a lawyer, lip-smacking things to do more, the previous nervousness has long disappeared, after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, first tried the microphone, and then began to sub his speech.
“Gentlemen, ladies, media friends from all over the world, I’m very glad that you can participate in this Klaus treasure came out of the press conference. The following is for me, to introduce the hiding place of the treasure and the discovery process for my friends, and then everyone can ask questions to Mr. Zhuang Rui. This batch of treasures from the thirteenth century’s great pirate Klaus was unintentionally discovered by our museum’s founder, Mr. Zhuang Rui, during one of his adventures, and these treasures include.”
Huangfu Yun, according to what Zhuang Rui had said about his passage, gave a general overview of Zhuang Rui’s experience on the nameless deserted island, of course, the existence of King Kong was omitted, and the reason for Zhuang Rui’s discovery of the treasures was attributed to the two pieces of parchment scrolls of treasure maps.
As for the specific sea coordinates of the deserted island, Huangfu Yun also said more ambiguous, and did not publicize it, this is because that deserted island is close to the U.S. Virgin Islands, if you say it, I’m afraid there will be some attribution trouble.
This was also a decision made by Zhuang Rui after the Ezkena tip he received, he didn’t want to get entangled in this issue.
“Well, I’m afraid that all the friends here have waited impatiently, now let’s see, the treasure of the fourteenth century pirate king Klaus!”
After explaining the process of discovering the hidden treasure, Huangfu Yun set off the climax of this press conference, as he and Zhuang Rui came together to the glass cabinets covered with red cloth, and together they lifted up the red cloth.
There are a total of three cabinets, all four sides are bulletproof, the base of the alloy removable cabinets, the first placed inside even if the gold anchor, but also the largest one.
The second showcase of the gold mask, in different angles of the glass showcase, there are spotlights on the mask, in the white incandescent spotlights, the gold mask more and more noble and mysterious.
The third display cabinet placed, is from the Klaus treasure in the gold coins and jewelry, display of these gold coins and jewelry, were Zhuang Rui with professional means of cleaning.
The original dull color of the gold coins and jewels, at this moment under the light, is also dazzling, showing the luster, both the vicissitudes of the history of the heavy sense, but also no lack of gold and pearl unique treasure gas.
“Wow!”
“Gosh, is that all made of gold?”
“How much would this thing weigh? God! Tell me!”
“What do you know! Don’t look at the size of that gold anchor, in terms of value, it’s much worse than that gold mask.”
“Those gold coins can be from fourteen centuries ago, I’m afraid they are also worth a lot, God, how come I didn’t find this treasure?”
For a time, all kinds of language issued by the exclamation, from the conference room resounded, participate in the press conference of these reporters, many are with the international art auction this line, there is no lack of understanding inside, the value of these artifacts in the display cabinet, the first time to make a judgment.
The introduction of the Klaus treasure, completely ignited the enthusiasm of the field, hundreds of reporters at the moment can not care about Zhuang Rui and Huangfu Yun, are holding a camera, from a variety of different angles to take pictures.
The majestic golden anchor and the mysterious golden mask undoubtedly became the protagonist of the press conference.
Everyone’s face shows a kind of fanaticism, all want to observe Klaus’s treasure more closely, if it is not the site of the armed police block, I am afraid that the crowd has long flooded the several display cabinets.
The scene was once chaotic, until another batch of armed police on duty entered, the order was slowly restored, as for Zhuang Rui and Huangfu Yun, just now was almost not squeezed out of the crowd, only now returned to the front of the podium.
“Well, everyone has seen the treasure of the pirate king Klaus, as for the authenticity of these things, in the subsequent academic meeting of experts, will naturally give the answer. Now it’s time for on-site questions, Mr. Zhuang will answer a total of ten questions, please think of a good question before you ask it!”
Huangfu Yun coughed a few times into the microphone, with the sound of his words, it was now gradually quiet, these reporters were all battle-tested, when Huangfu Yun’s words fell, countless hands were raised high.
“Please ask this young lady your question.”
Huangfu Yun glanced around, and finally ordered a blonde with a hot body with glasses, that professional dress that revealed her marvelous figure, easily reminiscent of a newspaper’s famous third-page girl.
Zhuang Rui glared at Huangfu Yun without any good reason, this dude’s taste is still so tacky ah? But this woman is really good looking, remember in certain European and American adult action movies, such women usually play the role of office secretary.
“Mr. Zhuang, I’m a reporter from the National Geographic Magazine, I would like to know, the golden mask as a symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization, do you intend to return it to the Egyptian government?”
But this beautiful female reporter’s question made Zhuang Rui completely awake.
