Chapter 1957: The devil can also become an angel
In the medium-sized conference room of the British Museum, the talks are still going on, and the atmosphere at the scene is quite tense, and the air is filled with a choking smell of gunpowder.
"This is absolutely impossible, Steven, you guys are so greedy to the extreme. Obviously, you are going to loot the ancient books of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in our library. Your appetite is too big. You are not afraid to hold on. "
The curator of the British Library gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of anger, and his eyes were red.
The other British guys sitting on her left and right, including Prince Charles and Prince William, were full of anger at this time, and each of them hated their teeth.
Contrary to them, Ye Tian and David, who are sitting opposite, have very relaxed expressions, and their faces are always full of bright smiles.
Of course, those British lawyers who were employed by Ye Tian have a rather embarrassing expression.
However, they still uphold the professionalism and attitude, stand in Ye Tian's position, and strive for greater benefits for him as much as possible.
As soon as the words of the curator of the British Library fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Ms. Caroline, and gentlemen, don’t worry, you don’t have to be so angry. Are my trading conditions too excessive? You may think it is, but I don’t think so.
As far as I know, most of the paintings and scriptures from Dunhuang's Buddhist scriptures in the British Library have never been publicly exhibited. They have been shelved in the pavilion and are gradually aging in the dark environment.
Those ancient books and documents from more than a thousand years ago are very fragile. If they are allowed to be kept in a dark warehouse to collect ashes, it will not be long before those precious ancient books will be completely decayed.
Instead of this, it’s better to exchange them for me. I will give them the best storage and display conditions, and make them public to all relevant researchers to maximize their value."
Hearing this, the old faces of the curator of the British Library and the curator of the British Museum could not help but blush, their expressions somewhat embarrassing.
In the British Museum and the British Library, there are tens of thousands of pictures and scriptures from the Dunhuang Buddhist Scripture Cave. They are the two cultural institutions with the largest collection of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in the world.
However, they would rather shelve the precious ancient books that record Chinese history and culture and allow them to slowly become corrupted. They are not willing to put those ancient books on public display, let alone open them to relevant researchers.
Many experts in Dunhuang studies from China have travelled all the way to London, England, but it is difficult to see the precious ancient books and documents. If you want to take a look, you have to apply and wait in line.
Even if the application is approved, those Chinese Dunhuang scholars can only see a very limited amount of ancient books and documents. It is basically impossible to devote themselves to research.
Not only Caroline and Fisher, but other British guys at the scene also blushed, but they returned to normal in an instant.
In the eyes of these British guys, this situation couldn't be more normal, and it's not worth the fuss at all.
The British Library, the British Museum, and other famous cultural institutions in the United Kingdom, the ancient documents and antique works of art that have been shelved all the year round are more than the pictures and scriptures from the Dunhuang Buddhist scripture cave!
However, this situation will definitely be broken today. Ye Tianzhi will surely get the looted scrolls and scriptures of the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in the British Library.
Caroline and Fisher, as well as the performance of Prince Charles, Ye Tianquan watched.
But he behaved as if he had not seen him, and continued to smile and said:
"Furthermore, for those ancient books and documents from Dunhuang Buddhist scripture cave, your British Library must have kept relevant video materials and electronic files, just like the British Museum.
In the foreseeable future, it is impossible for you to publicly exhibit those ancient books and documents, and you will still put them in the dark warehouse. Under such circumstances, why should you keep them?
Even if the relevant staff of the British Library or some experts and scholars in the United Kingdom want to study the ancient books and documents of the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave, the electronic version of the file can meet the needs and more convenient.
Let me talk about the collections of the Jerusalem kings that I exchanged, and the documents that record the history of the Knights Templar. You may not know how precious they are."
Hearing this, the eyes of Caroline, Fisher, and the other British guys all brightened, and everyone's eyes shone with greed.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"After leaving the Temple Church, I took the time to study those ancient books and historical documents. In those precious ancient books and historical documents, I received a series of huge surprises, enough to make a sensation in the world.
Almost every book in the collections of the kings of Jerusalem is an isolated copy. Since Jerusalem was captured by Saladin’s army, those ancient books have been completely extinct. This is the only remaining batch, extremely precious.
By studying those precious collections, we can start from the Middle Ages, go back to the fifth century, and even the history of Europe around AD, and the history of Jerusalem and surrounding areas.
In those precious ancient books, the content recorded covers politics, economy, religion, culture, art, mythology, etc., such as the early development of Christianity in Europe.
It is no exaggeration to say that the emergence of those Jerusalem kings' collections will change a part of world history. Many unsolved mysteries in history will be solved and a truth in history will be solved."
"Wow!"
With a loud noise, several British guys on the opposite side pushed aside their chairs and stood up, staring at Ye Tian with blood-red eyes, which looked quite scary.
Without exception, the eyes of these British guys are full of greed, and they make no secret of it.
Ye Tian ignored them, and continued to add weights to the trading balance, with a confident light in his eyes.
"The documents closely related to the Knights Templar recorded a series of major events that took place in the past two hundred years from the birth to the demise of the Knights Templar, such as the previous battles they had participated in.
The various crusades since 1119 are detailed in those documents, such as the history of the last crusade, fighting alongside Edward I, who was still the crown prince.
Undoubtedly, those historical documents are extremely precious, not only the most precious historical materials for studying the rise and fall of the Knights Templar, but also the most precious historical materials for studying the history of the Middle Ages and the history of the Crusades.
For the British Library or the British Museum, if you get these precious ancient books and historical documents, you will get a series of sensational and major research results, and even create a subject category.
Those scrolls and scriptures from the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave in China, although they are also very precious and of great research value, but you already have the electronic version of the files, why keep the scrolls and scriptures that are shelved?
In comparison, what kind of choice is most beneficial to you, I believe you will make the wisest choice. Of course, whether or not to agree to my conditions and trade with me is your initiative.
If you refuse my terms, then I can only find another trade partner. The Vatican, the French, and the Americans are very interested in those precious ancient books and historical documents.
In addition to the Vatican, France and the United States also have many pictures and scriptures from the Dunhuang Buddhist Scripture Cave, as well as other top antique works of art from China. Trade with them, I may get more! "
Hearing this, the curator of the British Library Caroline immediately got anxious.
This lady has long forgotten what elegance is. She pressed her hands on the conference table and leaned her head forward, staring at her blood-red eyes and biting her back molars and said one by one:
"Steven, let's not talk about whether our British Library promised you the incredible terms and traded with you, and was ransacked by you, a greedy guy.
The collections of the Jerusalem kings found deep underground in the Temple Church, as well as documents recording the history of the Knights Templar ~www.wuxiaspot.com~We will never let them flow out of Britain.
Those extremely precious collections of books and historical documents have been included in the list of antique artworks that are restricted from leaving the country. No matter the Vatican, the French or the Americans, don't want to take them away! "
Caroline just finished speaking, the British Minister of Culture immediately said:
"Yes, Steven, the collections of the Jerusalem kings and the documents that record the history of the Knights Templar, without the approval of the British Ministry of Culture, must not leave the country, even you, can not take them away"
Ye Tian glanced at the British guys opposite, then said with a chuckle:
"To declare that I am a law-abiding citizen and a law-abiding businessman. I have never had a bad record of violating the law and discipline. This point can be said to be well-known, and you must have heard of it."
"噗嗤"
David and the others finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
But fortunately, these guys quickly suppressed their smiles, although they were blushing and very hard!
As for the British guys on the opposite side, they rolled their eyes and complained to themselves one by one.
law abiding citizen? You **** also said with a shy face, "Let's lie to the ghost, I guess the ghost will not believe it.
If you **** is a law-abiding citizen, the devil can also become an angel!
