Chapter 161 confidant(1/2)
The request made by Yan Guang Charity caught all the foreigners off guard.
The conference room was in a riot in an instant.
The foreign side protested, but Tang Bin ignored it.
Cheng Wenyue opened the folder in his hand, took out a stack of files from it, and pressed his hand to signal the conference room to calm down.
The foreigner sees what he wants to say.
"Gentlemen, it seems that you will not agree to the previous proposal. Since this is the case, we will complete this friendly cooperation in a fair way. This list is the cultural relics and artworks that we own. The other one in my hand is the Chinese cultural relics displayed in museums in European countries. We can exchange them. This is our last proposal, and there is no room for negotiation."
After Cheng Wenyue said that, he handed over the two documents to the translator. While translating, the translator got up and delivered the documents to the foreigner opposite him.
The foreigner was boiling like a frying fry.
On the Huaxia side, Director Li of the Cultural Relics Bureau covered his mouth and said a few words to the people behind him. He also asked for a list of them. Minister Yang sat next to him. They gathered together and looked down at the list of Chinese cultural relics they were asking for, and were stunned.
Bronze Elephant of the Late Yin and Shang dynasties
The forty pictures of the Old Summer Palace in the Qing Dynasty, the gilded pagoda of the Old Summer Palace
Tiger in the late Shang Dynasty
"Amitabha's Western Pure Land Changes" during the prosperous Tang Dynasty
"Admonition of the Female Historian" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty
The "Yongle Ceremony" started in the Ming Dynasty
"Pictures of Emperors of All Dynasties" from the Early Tang Dynasty
Kangxi Jade Ruyi
Picture of Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei Dynasty worshiping Buddha
......
Director Li sterned his face and lowered his voice and said to Minister Yang: "I think it's OK. It's better to exchange these things for you than keeping foreign cultural relics. After that, the other party will definitely come to you for protest, and you have to withstand it."
Minister Yang also had no expression on his face and his mouth moved, as if he was absent-minded.
"Don't worry, what can't stand it? But you should always think about it. If these cultural relics can be returned, where will they be placed?"
Director Li also thought of this problem at this time. After looking at Minister Yang, he said calmly: "It's just the sky and sea, it's all the credit of others. We have benefited from it and have achieved political achievements. We can't destroy the bridges across the river, right?"
Minister Yang glared at him obscurely and said, "I see, besides these, you can send some cultural relics next time, and put them here for exhibitions, so you can exchange gifts."
Director Li had his face tense from beginning to end and nodded slightly. It seemed that he had just finished talking about something big with the people next to him.
......
The meeting ended unhappily.
The foreigner can't make a decision. Even the curator cannot make a decision alone. Take Carter for example, he even wants to ask the Queen of England because some of the collections are listed as the British royal family.
Yan Guang's charitable people left first, and Tang Bin took the lead in front of him. He went down one floor and came to another venue.
Here, the seats were packed, and the lighting and photography were all available. All the people sitting in the audience had reporters on their chests. All the media at home and abroad who were paying attention to this matter were present. No major company was absent.
Before the negotiations began, Yanguang Charity's management discussed the possible outcomes of the negotiations.
The foreigner is certainly not a philanthropist.
If the cultural relics from China were sent back, they would have been given away long ago.
Then, in the first negotiation, it is impossible to have a result that both parties are satisfied with.
So, this press conference was prepared yesterday.
Xie Wanling was wearing a lady's suit, generous and elegant, and took the lead in walking up the steps. Facing everyone in the venue, many flashes flashed. She spoke smoothly and said with a smile: "Yan Guang Charity will give a brief introduction to European cultural relics and artworks. I will not accept the question, thank you."
After she walked off the stage, her mouth slightly raised her eyebrows at Tang Bin.
A smile flashed in Tang Bin's eyes. Seeing his wife facing the public so naturally, she could not be compared!
After calming down his emotions, Tang Bin looked solemn, walked slowly up the steps, stood in front of the stage, holding the edge of the podium with both hands, wearing elegant suits and trunks, and a good image.
He didn't speak directly, and after reporters at home and abroad took photos, he slowly spoke under the attention of everyone.
"Thank you all the media practitioners for being present. I will give a comprehensive introduction to the European cultural relics and art events that the outside world has paid attention to recently. First of all, this batch of cultural relics and art works originated from a Nazi submarine that sunk in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. The company that salvages this submarine is the European headquarters of Hongxin International, but the ownership belongs to Hongxin Venture Capital in Tianhai, China. Relevant laws prove that Hongxin Company has all possessed it, which can prove that this time the salvage of the shipwreck is completely legal.
......
Hongxin Venture Capital has donated all of these cultural relics and artworks to Yanguang Charity for free.
......
European countries sent representatives to Tianhai, hoping that we could return these cultural relics and artworks to European countries unconditionally, but we proposed that if it was returned free of charge, then first ask museums from European countries to send the Chinese cultural relics plundered from the war to China. This condition was rejected by the other party.
......
The negotiations between the two sides were not going smoothly. We put forward the final conditions to exchange these batches of cultural relics and artworks for some cultural relics that were left overseas in China. This condition is still in the negotiation stage. If the other party cannot agree, we will announce the termination of the negotiations.
......
The charity art museum built under Yanguang Charity will display some private collections, as well as the income from this batch of artworks and cultural relics, and the art museum will be invested in charity.
Europeans want to see their historical and cultural artworks collected in museums in their country, and the Chinese are the same. Therefore, I reiterate that we will not return these works of art and cultural relics for free, because this is not what we obtained through illegal channels. The bottom line must be exchanged for some Chinese cultural relics, otherwise we will not be able to talk. Thank you."
After Tang Bin finished speaking, he turned around and left. Countless reporters from the audience raised their hands to signal to ask questions. Some people even wanted to chase after him. But they were blocked by security personnel, and Yan Guang's charity all left without looking back.
In less than half a day, this news, including the video of Tang Bin's press conference, spread all over the country.
China, crazy!
The general support of Yan Guang’s charity practices among the masses!
Return you unconditionally!
Why!
After you robbers came to China to rob, who the hell mentioned that something returned to the original owner?
The subsequent army of media from all over the country flocked to the sky and sea, not only to follow up and report on the matter, but also to interview Yan Guang Charity in a comprehensive manner.
Tianhai University, the passionate young people remain unrestrained by this matter.
The school also made the issue of whether the salvaged artworks should be returned as an issue. A comprehensive debate was launched on campus.
Tang Xin, who was out of the matter, leaned on the railing at the top of the corridor and sent a text message on his mobile phone. Qian Huiyao smiled and leaned over to him and said meaningfully: "Are you satisfied? I almost got the tricks from you. I thought you really had no desires. As a result, you got everything you wanted."
The fingers of typing stopped abruptly. Tang Xin smiled silently. After pausing for a few seconds, he continued to send text messages, and asked without raising his head: "Do you know what I want?"
Qian Huiyao stood beside him with her back against the railing, shook her head and said, "Yan Guang's popularity, positive image, national attention, and a promotion for the art museum. It also includes mass-based mass support, etc. What you want, is there anything you haven't gotten?"
After sending a text message, Tang Xin stuffed his phone back into his pocket, wrapped his arms around his chest, and chuckled: "I don't know whether it's good or bad. I don't like to be famous, especially the kind of popularity that people can recognize you when walking on the street, but my parents don't care. Or they don't think popularity will have negative effects."
Qian Huiyao's body was swaying from side to side, her shoulders touching her shoulders, and she sighed: "Tang Xin, you don't know. Your father has become an idol, and many boys say that this is a man. Chinese people are used to fighting in the nest. No matter how powerful people are, they are just rats carrying guns. If you dare to challenge foreigners, that would be different, haha."
"My dad used to be a soldier, and most of his life is from a soldier."
After Tang Xin said that, he was also slightly ecstatic.
It is said that raising a godfather is not a fault. On the other hand, Tang Xin must have been influenced by Tang Bin during the process of growing up. It is positive and negative, and difficult to judge, but the father and son must have some similarities.
Perhaps, this is the principle that you won’t give in easily.
It was getting late, and school was already over half an hour ago. Qian Huiyao found that Tang Xin didn't seem to be in a hurry to go home. Her eyes rolled and hit his arm and asked, "Don't you pick up your little wife?"
Tang Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Don't use this title, it's awkward. The negotiations there will not be a short-term result. Maybe, foreigners will measure the value of artworks one by one. We have tens of thousands of pieces here, and how many can we exchange them for? It's hard to say that there are more than 30,000 Chinese cultural relics in the Louvre alone. This process has been protracted. She is good at foreign languages and helps as an interpreter there."
Qian Huiyao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you treat me to a meal?"
"For what? I'm going to spend money."
Tang Xin pretended to be unhappy.
Qian Huiyao said for granted: "Because I invited you two dollars for fast food last time. This time, if you invite me, I will give me ten dollars. I want to eat the pig's feet from that family."
Tang Xin thought about it. If she wanted to go by herself, she wouldn't even know the place. He was alone again, so let's just do it.
After taking ten dollars from her wallet, Tang Xin held back his smile and walked downstairs.
"I gave you the money, but I should have a good appetite today. I will ask for double portions later."
Qian Huiyao was stunned, caught up with him, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "You can't even cheat me."
"How can strangers fall into the pit easily?"
The store is relatively far from the school. Usually, there will be a restaurant in five minutes after leaving the school gate.
It was dark and the two sat in the restaurant that was almost full. Tang Xin ordered two pork trotters, but only one meal was given. Qian Huiyao did not express her opinion, and even threw the endless amount of food to Tang Xin.
They had a "weird" phenomenon when they had a meal together.
If he had the same appetite, Qian Huiyao would finish eating a little earlier than Tang Xin.
Tang Xin obviously has a greater appetite than her, so she finished eating early, and Tang Xin even had a slow meal.
Seeing her clean her mouth, Tang Xin turned around and called the waiter in the store and asked him to buy a piece of candy water next door to deliver it. Because Tang Xin was an old customer, the waiter knew him, so he helped him run away. In addition, Tang Xin was obviously an alternative customer and would give tips!
Qian Huiyao didn't bother to get fat because she was so sweet that she got fat. She drank sugar water with a smile on her face. The phone on the table suddenly rang. Qian Huiyao couldn't help but glance at her and found that Tang Xin's phone screen showed: Tong Zhengrong called.
Tang Xin answered the phone and Tong Zhengrong's low voice came from the receiver.
