"Okay, fourth brother, what you said really makes my brother feel ashamed..."
Zhuang Rui quickly interrupted Ouyang Jun, saying that he had really troubled this master a lot, and now that he was begging for his favor, he couldn't refuse the favor.
"Fourth brother, you don't know that those people are too difficult to maintain. If I agree to their participation in the salvage work, what if I go back to China and refuse to admit my debt, and swallow me with all my skin and bones?"
?”
The reason why Zhuang Rui refused yesterday and today is indeed because he had concerns in this regard. If after returning to China, the relevant departments changed their words and these items were all returned to the state, wouldn't Zhuang Rui become the victim of a crime?
"They dare? Brother, are you a fool to think of me as a brother? No one dares to bully our family. He just wants to make some achievements during his term. There is no need to worry about this matter. You can also talk to them first
Just make an agreement and that will be enough..."
After Ouyang Jun heard Zhuang Rui's words, he couldn't help but dumbfounded. This younger brother is really sincere. In China, it is already the duty of the Ouyang family not to bully others. With the courage of the big minister, he would not dare to do this.
things.
"Well, let's not talk about it for now. Fourth brother, I have been really troubled by something recently. Such a big ship was salvaged, but there is no place to put it..."
Zhuang Rui suddenly changed the topic, which made Ouyang Jun a little confused. He couldn't help but interrupt Zhuang Rui: "What are your plans? It's rare for Fourth Brother to ask you for something. Isn't it really a show off?"
Zhuang Rui quickly denied it: "No way, Fourth Brother, it depends on your face, so I have to agree to it, but Fourth Brother, the swimming pool and fitness area of the community we developed are next to the museum.
This security work is not easy to do..."
"You brat, are you interested in that piece of land?"
When Ouyang Jun heard this, he didn't know what Zhuang Rui was thinking. He said angrily: "Okay, you guy has been staring at that place for a day or two. If I don't give it to you now, I won't know in the future.
What's wrong with you?
But we brothers are going to talk ugly. I can give you that piece of land, but you have to build a gym and swimming pool for me behind the community, otherwise the property will be in big trouble..."
"Absolutely, fourth brother, don't worry, I will do it for you properly and make sure you are satisfied. Okay, Director Dou will come to see me again soon, so hang up first..."
After Zhuang Rui hung up the phone, a smile appeared on his face. It was a good deal to use a false name to get benefits for himself, and the land was very important to the development of Zhuang Rui's museum.
Since Zhuang Rui has been constantly adding collections to the museum in recent years, the exhibition hall of more than 20,000 square meters is now a bit stretched. Although the Song Dynasty sunken ship was salvaged, as he said, there is really no place to put it.
.
Zhuang Rui had already made an idea for a piece of land next to the museum, but it was planned to be a national fitness area in the community. He mentioned it to Ouyang Jun several times, but Ouyang Jun didn't agree. This time, for the sake of face, it was cheap.
It’s Zhuang Rui.
"Damn it, when someone asks me to do something, I still pay for it?"
After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Jun felt very uncomfortable. He glanced outside the house and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, take your son to my sister-in-law's house for dinner. We will live there..."
The big star was puzzled when she saw her husband looking like he was going to make Zhuang Rui's family poor. She didn't know that Brother Ouyang was unhappy and wanted to make up for it.
…
At noon, Director Dou came over again, and his attitude was more complimentary than yesterday. Zhuang Rui didn't go too far. After signing an agreement with the other party, he agreed to add the name of a domestic ministry to the salvage party.
.
The agreement stated that a certain ministry was a major member of the salvage operation and provided strong support during the detection and salvage process of the sunken ship. However, since Zhuang Rui was the one who discovered the sunken ship, the owner of the ship is still Zhuang Rui.
Rui personal.
With this agreement, Zhuang Rui is not afraid of the other party playing tricks. Moreover, when negotiating with Director Dou, the other party was also very proactive and offered to help Zhuang Rui obtain the domestic underwater salvage company qualification. With this qualification,
Shipwreck salvage can be carried out in waters belonging to China.
Although according to domestic salvage laws, items salvaged from domestic rivers or seas are owned by the state, but there are still many margins to play. As long as you do some tricks when declaring, those items may not be owned by individuals.
.
In this way, everyone is happy. Director Dou got the honor he wanted and completed the leadership task, and Zhuang Rui didn't suffer any loss. Just adding a few words to his name got him so many benefits. It was a win-win situation, right?
Although Zhuang Rui still has a lot of resistance to this kind of behavior of using public resources to sell favors, but this is the case in China. If it weren't for the background behind him, I'm afraid he would have been picked off this time.
.
Zhuang Rui quickly forgot about this matter due to the intense work of cleaning up the shipwreck. It took only a dozen people to sort out tens of thousands of shipwreck cultural relics, which was a huge workload.
Even though Zhuang Rui had to work for more than 18 hours a day, it still took nearly a week to clean up all the cultural relics and organize them into various rooms.
After inspections by domestic shipping experts, ceramic experts and historical experts, they all agreed that this Song Dynasty shipwreck is the oldest, largest and most complete ocean-going trading merchant ship found in the world so far.
After careful cleaning work, the total number of cultural relics recovered from the cabin was 82,388, of which more than 51,000 were gold and silver items, which can be divided into 30 sets of categories. Gold and silver items are mainly divided into bracelets and earrings.
, small powder box, etc.
In addition, there are some bronze wares, such as copper coins, bronze mirrors, copper beads and other objects. Most of the bronze wares are copper coins, most of which are from the Northern Song Dynasty. There are a small amount of Kaiyuan Tongbao from the Tang Dynasty. The value of these things is not very great. Zhuang Rui said
They left it to the experts to study.
But there is something among the gold and silverware that even Zhuang Rui can't put down. It is a gilt dragon-patterned bracelet. The bracelet is made of sterling silver and gilt on it. The whole bracelet is in the shape of a dragon pattern, which is extremely exquisite.
Zhuang Rui hid this thing as soon as he saw it, put it on his son's wrist and took it home.
In addition, the cultural relics with the most water are of course ceramics. There are more than 30,000 pieces in total, of various types, including white porcelain, celadon, blue and white porcelain, as well as brown glaze and green glaze porcelain. Almost all folk porcelain of the Tang and Song Dynasties can be found in it.
.
This made Professor Tian so happy that he pestered Zhuang Rui and picked out more than twenty complete sets of porcelain, planning to take them back to the Palace Museum to slowly study and compare the differences between these export porcelain and the official kiln at that time.
Not only Professor Tian, but also all the experts who participated in the later cleanup of the sunken ship have gained a lot. According to Professor Meng, this sunken ship and the cultural relics out of the water have confirmed the existence of the Maritime Silk Road for more than a thousand years.
Like the land Silk Road, the Maritime Silk Road is also a channel for Sino-foreign trade, but the latter has been used throughout ancient Chinese society since its formation in the early Western Han Dynasty. During the more than 2,000 years of Sino-foreign trade history, China's main export product was sometimes silk.
Sometimes it's porcelain, or some other goods.
Foreign trade goods are even more diverse, so some scholars also call it the Porcelain Road, or the Fur Road, or the Silk Road, etc. Since the Silk Road has been established by convention, it is also called the Maritime Silk Road.
It is just that due to the imperfection of domestic deep-water salvage technology, there have not been many physical objects to prove this point of view. These cultural relics released this time provide a very complete physical historical material for the study of the Maritime Silk Road, which itself contains
The archaeological and historical information is very rich.
…
More than a week later, Zhuang Rui's "Xuan Rui" has returned, but it did not return to the Macau port. Instead, it stopped directly at the Tianjin port, which is very close to Beijing. This will make Zhuang Rui's work of transporting cultural relics from the sunken ship difficult.
, brings many conveniences.
Of course, being able to park the ship here without being able to detect the weapons hidden on the ship, a certain ministry that only realized it later but took a lot of advantage is a great credit.
The news that a certain ministry and a well-known domestic private museum have jointly salvaged a thousand-year-old sunken ship has been flooded in major newspapers in the country. Since it is going to achieve political achievements, it naturally needs to be vigorously publicized.
Each and every precious unearthed cultural relic was photographed and appeared in major newspapers or TV reports. There was also a wave of marine archeology among the people, and the price of salvaged porcelain at auctions also increased significantly.
few.
There were even old friends like Mr. Qian who called Zhuang Rui directly and wanted to get some auction items from him. However, Zhuang Rui had no intention of selling these items and declined them all politely.
Although this series of reports all use the name of Dingguang Museum, those old friends know the basics. Zhuang Rui's name has once again resounded through the entire antique industry.
For a time, the cruise ship docked in Tianjin Port was crowded with reporters from home and abroad. Zhuang Rui was so annoyed that he simply left Huangfu Yun to receive them and returned to Beijing with a whole truckload of cultural relics.
As for the sunken ship, it has been lifted off the cruise ship and is now placed in a warehouse at the port.
Due to the exhibition hall, this sunken ship can wait until the ancient ship hall in the Zhuang Ruidingguang Museum is completed before being transported back to Beijing. Otherwise, there is really no place to put this big thing more than 30 meters long.
However, Zhuang Rui had just returned to Beijing, and before he could take a breath, he was blocked by Gu Yun and Hu Rong at the same time. The two brothers had been looking for him for several days.
