Chapter 1959: Amazing news
British Museum, China Pavilion.
Although it is already in the afternoon, there are not few tourists visiting the China Pavilion. The place is still crowded with tourists from all over the world.
Among them, there are many tourists from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, copying Mandarin or dialects of various places, it sounds quite cordial.
Looking at the many Chinese antique works of art displayed in the showcase, or hung on the wall, or on the booth, while admiring it, all Chinese tourists feel a little heavy.
There is no other reason. The Chinese antique artworks displayed in the British Museum are basically all looted from China by the British through wars and other despicable means.
For all Chinese tourists, these exquisite antique artworks in front of them not only represent the splendid Chinese civilization, but also embodies a history that makes all Chinese feel humiliating.
The people in this exhibition hall are watching the exquisite antique works of art intently. Many of them have an intoxicating look on their faces.
Even if someone is talking or discussing something, they will deliberately lower their voice so as not to disturb other visitors around.
Suddenly, there was a small commotion at the entrance of the exhibition hall, which somewhat damaged the environment in the exhibition hall.
All the tourists in this exhibition hall turned their heads and looked at the doorway, not understanding what happened there.
The next moment, a group of people in suits and shoes walked into the China Pavilion. They were dressed very formally, and with many security personnel, they seemed to be incompatible with the artistic environment in the exhibition hall.
The two people who walked in front of the group and were in the middle were very familiar to everyone. They were Prince William and Ye Tian.
Prince William needless to say, he is the second in line to the heir to the King of England, and his exposure rate is very high. It is impossible for anyone who has a certain knowledge of Britain to know him.
As for Ye Tian, he is also the focus of attention in the UK and even the whole world.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is now the target of everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred. Almost everyone hates that he can replace him and take the treasure of the Knights Templar that is crazy enough to make him.
In addition to Ye Tian and Prince William, David and others who entered the China Pavilion with them, and Fisher, the curator of the British Museum, everyone also looked familiar or knew each other.
Ye Tian and his party's arrival caused a commotion in the China Pavilion without accident.
Seeing their group and the many tourists visiting in the exhibition hall, they were stunned for a moment, and then they began to discuss with excitement.
"Wow! I didn't expect Steven and Prince William to come to the China Pavilion, along with the director of the British Museum Fisher, this battle is not small, it seems that something big must happen"
"Looking at the smile on Ye Tian's face, he must have had a very good harvest. With his consistent cruel behavior, the British must be slaughtered."
Obviously, everyone knows Ye Tian's purpose of coming to the British Museum today, and they know that he is here to negotiate deals with the British Museum and other British cultural institutions.
At this moment, the state of their party can be seen by a discerning person. The talks are going very smoothly. Ye Tian must have made a lot of gains, and the British have also gained.
While they were talking, Ye Tian and Prince William and his party had all entered the China Pavilion, chuckling in a low voice, and walking deep into the exhibition hall.
Many tourists in the exhibition hall have already awakened at this time, and they began to greet Ye Tian and Prince William.
Since there are tourists from China and many tourists from other parts of the world, there are two languages for greetings, Mandarin and English.
"Good afternoon, Ye Tian, can you talk about your harvest? It is said that your goal is to collect fine-quality Chinese antique art. What treasures have you exchanged from the British? It makes us happy to say it."
Don’t ask, the person who greeted him was a Chinese tourist, and he was from the mainland. He spoke fluent Mandarin and sounded very comfortable.
Ye Tian stopped, turned his head to look at the 40-year-old Chinese man, and then said in Mandarin with a smile on his face:
"Good afternoon, my eldest brother, I am very glad to see you here. I did have a very good harvest today, and I have exchanged a lot of valuable Chinese antique art.
However, for reasons of confidentiality, it is not convenient to disclose the specific Chinese antique artworks. If you want to know, you can pay attention to the press conference to be held tomorrow afternoon."
As soon as his voice fell, an Englishman in his fifties began to ask Prince William aloud questions.
"Good afternoon, your honorable prince, my name is Richard, I am from Birmingham, can you tell us what Britain got in this art deal? Can the golden crown of King Edward I stay in Britain?"
While asking loudly, the British guy also glanced at Ye Tian deeply, his eyes full of jealousy and envy.
Prince William looked at each other, then smiled and said:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Richard, it is nice to see you here. I hope you and your family have a great day here and enjoy this trip to London.
Regarding the specific content of this artwork transaction, it needs to be kept confidential for the time being. At the joint press conference tomorrow afternoon, we will make the specific content of the transaction public.
Thank you very much for your attention. Although you cannot disclose the content of the transaction, here, I can assure you and all British people that you will definitely get a satisfactory result."
"Papa Papa"
There was a round of applause, short and enthusiastic.
Next, Ye Tian and Prince William and his party continued to move forward, constantly greeted the surrounding tourists, and responded to the questions of several tourists.
Within a short time, they 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 Chamber.
Compared to other areas in the China Pavilion, Stein’s Chamber of Secrets looks very special. The door is locked, there is no light leaking from it, and there are several security guards at the door of the Chamber.
These guys are all staring at each other, staring at the Chinese tourists walking back and forth at the door of the secret room.
As for the few Chinese tourists, they are not young anymore. They are in their fifties, less to say, they are all experts and scholars, and they are full of books, and they are quite refined!
Without exception, these elders all stared at the Stein’s Chamber, which was close at hand, with anticipation and regret in their eyes.
Obviously, they all wanted to enter this secret room and see the Chinese antique art collections inside, but the locked door blocked their steps and prevented them from entering.
Before reaching the Stein's Chamber, Ye Tian had already seen these old men walking back and forth, among them there was a very familiar face.
That is a top calligraphy and calligraphy appraisal expert from the Shanghai Museum, Mr. Qian, Ye Tian once met this old man at the private auction held at the Beijing Hotel during the Spring Festival last year.
At the same time he saw the other person, Old Man Qian also saw him, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The other old men were the same, and they all stared at Ye Tian.
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 was here.
While speaking, Ye Tian and his party had arrived at the door of Stein's Chamber and stopped.
"Steven, this is Stein's secret room. The Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" is stored here. There are also some other Chinese antique artworks in this secret room, each of which is invaluable."
Fisher briefly glanced at the famous secret room in front of him, his words were full of reluctance, even a bit of pain.
"Fisher, of course I know this is the Stein's Secret Room. Every time I came to the British Museum, I would come here to see it. Unfortunately, every time I ate closed doors, this secret room was always locked."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, a little regretful in his tone, but more proud.
Of course, this regret will no longer exist in the future, not only for him, but for all Chinese tourists who come here to visit, this regret will no longer exist.
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Fisher was ready to respond, but Ye Tian was robbed in front of him.
"His Royal Highness, Fisher, and gentlemen, please wait here for a while. I saw several experts and scholars from China. They are all my predecessors. I need to go over and say hello."
Prince William and they all nodded without any objection.
Then, Ye Tian walked to Qian Lao and them not far away.
approached, he immediately stretched out his right hand to Qian Lao, and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, old Qian, I didn't expect to see you all at the British Museum. It's a coincidence. Needless to say, you all came here for the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of Female History", right?"
Qian Lao shook hands with Ye Tian, then chuckled and whispered:
"Good afternoon, Ye Tian, we didn't expect to be able to meet your kid here. The movement of your kid this time is really too big. It can be said that it has caused a sensation in the whole world, and it is impressive!
The reason why we came to the UK and the British Museum this time is to copy Gu Kaizhi’s "A Picture of a Female History" in Tang Dynasty, and prepare to appreciate this treasure that has been lost overseas.
However, the Tang dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "The Proverbs of a Female History" was only publicly exhibited twice a year, but we missed the time for public display, and we couldn't see this priceless treasure at all. It just ran away for nothing.
In fact, before coming to the UK, we applied to the British Museum~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I hope to appreciate this treasure of the country. The British Museum also agreed. The appointment day is today.
But who would have thought that the British suddenly changed their minds and cancelled the appointment. Isn’t this awkward? It’s really hateful. I knew that. Why did we travel all the way to London to eat this closed door?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately laughed, smiling very proudly.
"Hahaha, old Qian, you don't have to be angry, let alone regret it. The British Museum cancelled your appointments not intentionally, for other reasons.
The reason is simple. As early as three days ago, the night I discovered the treasures of the Knights Templar, the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" no longer belongs to the British Museum.
This invaluable national treasure now belongs to me, the kid, and I exchanged it for a priceless treasure from Britain. Of course, the British Museum cannot be let you visit again! "
"What? The Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" belongs to your kid, did I hear it wrong?"
Qian Lao exclaimed in a low voice. He even shook his body a few times with excitement. His legs immediately softened and he sat down directly on the ground.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had prepared and reacted very promptly. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the old man's arm and supported him.
The situation of the other experts and scholars is not better than that, they all looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyes widened, and their eyes were about to fly out!
