Thanks to Brother Ye and Brother Betrayer for the reward.
Jiang Lindao: "We can be sure that the Japanese government has not obtained this batch of treasures. If they had successfully transported them back to the country, we would not have to worry about it now."
"Are you sure that this fortune has not fallen into the hands of the Japanese government? Morikawa Iemitsu was able to publicly say in the Yomiuri Shimbun that there were twenty-six cars of gold bars on the Awa Maru. He must have been instructed to say so.
This must be something the Japanese government is covering up. If the Japanese government didn't know the inside story, they wouldn't be able to manipulate Morikawa Iemitsu to lie and induce others," Han Peacock reasoned.
"I was right to call you here. We hired some intelligence analysts to analyze these, but now you can deduce them so easily." Jiang Lin admired. He had long known that Han Peacock had a high IQ.
, but he didn’t expect that Han Peacock’s IQ would be so high.
“The Japanese government must have known the whereabouts of the transferred wealth, but for some unknown reason, the Japanese government did not transport it back to its homeland.
It has not happened until now. A big possibility is that the Japanese government does not want to transport this wealth back to the mainland because Japan was no longer safe at that time.
Now we all know that was the case at that time, but the Japanese government at that time must have had different ideas. But at that time, Japan's defeat seemed to be a foregone conclusion, so the Japanese did not want this batch of gold to fall into the hands of the Americans, so they took precautions beforehand.
It is very possible to hide it.
In addition to this possibility, there is another possibility, that there was something wrong with the Japanese soldiers who transported the wealth at that time, or there was another accident.
Anyway, this batch of treasures has definitely not fallen into the hands of the Japanese government. The batch of treasures we have recovered now can further prove that this batch of wealth has not fallen into the hands of the Japanese government." Jiang Lin told them all the results of their analysis.
Korean peacock.
"You are now announcing in a high-profile manner that you have obtained part of the treasures on the Awa Maru. Are you trying to draw out other clues?" Han Kongque was naturally not stupid, and he quickly understood Jiang Lin's purpose.
"Yes, we are still not completely sure that this batch of wealth is from the Awa Maru, because there is a copybook in it, which disappeared in August 1945.
However, the Awa Maru sank on March 28, a gap of four months. We still don’t know what happened during these four months.
But with Taro Morikawa's performance today, it can be preliminarily confirmed that the treasures on the Awa Maru did not fall into the hands of the Japanese government. Whether the treasures we obtained are part of the treasures on the Awa Maru still needs further research.
OK." Jiang Lin said helplessly.
According to the Japanese government, all the information from that year has been destroyed. Now no one can tell exactly what was loaded on the Awa Maru back then. Therefore, except for some parties who know the inside story, no one else knows much about the truth until now.
learn.
"Have you obtained the whereabouts of other treasures?" After listening to what Jiang Lin said, Han Kongque would be foolish if he couldn't guess the purpose of Jiang Lin and the others.
Jiang Lin said with some admiration: "Your image is too deceptive. If you were gentle and polite, and wore clothes and glasses, you would be more like a learned man."
"You have obtained clues to other treasures from that treasure cache, so if you want to confirm the treasure map, is it worth your efforts to continue tracking it?" Han Peacock guessed again.
Jiang Lin was stunned at this time. Not only him, but also the experts who were quietly appraising cultural relics elsewhere were also attracted by the conversation between Han Peacock and the others. At this time, they all looked at Han Peacock blankly.
"What? My guess is wrong?" Han Peacock said.
Jiang Lin smiled bitterly: "Compared with you, my IQ is worrisome!"
Han Peacock smiled and said: "There is no way, this is natural. If my inference is correct, the Japanese would not have left you a treasure map back then. At most, you will have obtained some information about the treasure.
Without a treasure map, it would definitely not be easy to find the treasure relying solely on scraps of information. If it were easy, you might have recovered all the treasures long ago.
It doesn't exist now, which only means that you have encountered difficulties, and the biggest difficulty is only one, and that is money. You are calculating whether the huge price you pay is not proportional to the gains you get."
At this time, Jiang Lin looked at Han Peacock as if he were looking at a monster: "Yes, you guessed it right, we did not get the treasure map, but we found an order from the Japanese military department among the treasures.
Although the order is very vague, we still analyzed it. The general meaning of it is that things that are not convenient to carry can be hidden in a nearby base, and things that are easy to carry can be brought back to the homeland."
"The treasures you obtained should be easy to carry, right?" Han Peacock asked.
"Yes, except for a small amount of pearls and jades, what we obtained are all calligraphy, paintings and calligraphy. These should be easy to carry, while the parts that are not easy to carry are probably other antiques and gold." Jiang Lindao
.
Han Peacock glanced at other places. This was a hall. There were many people in the hall, and there were more things. In addition to the ancient books, calligraphy and paintings that had been cleared out, the rest were some Japanese materials from the World War II period.
The people here are obviously divided into two types, one is interested in internal Japanese materials, and the other is interested in isolated ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.
Those who studied the Japanese information must be the intelligence analysts hired by Jiang Lin and the others. All the clues should have been sorted out from the messy information.
"You invited me here because you want me to help you identify these paintings and calligraphy?" Han Kongque asked abruptly.
Jiang Lin said helplessly: "That's not all. I want you to join us. Not only do you participate in appraisals, but also in treasure hunting. Of course, we also want you to participate in other aspects."
Jiang Lin said it very directly. For a highly intelligent person like Han Kongque, any concealment is a joke.
"Join you? I'm interested in treasure hunting, but it's not easy to do. What other aspects are you talking about? It can't be that you want me to participate in the museum's plan, right?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
Jiang Lin also smiled and said: "If you are willing, we are very willing to let you participate in the treasure hunt and the construction of the museum. This will greatly enhance our strength. If there are no collectors like you to participate, we alone can build a museum."
It is still difficult to have a private museum.
Now the chance of finding the Awa Maru treasure is very slim. The Pacific Ocean is so big. Who knows where the Japanese hid the gold and platinum? Without the support of the remaining treasures, we will never be able to build a real one.
of the museum.”
"Then you are showing your strength by letting me see this now? But I think your strength is not as powerful as I thought before!" Han Peacock said with a smile.
Jiang Lin smiled bitterly: "We are not showing our strength, but our sincerity. If we want to build a large museum, it is absolutely impossible to support it solely by relying on the paintings and calligraphy here."
Jiang Lin almost didn't say it directly. It was just some ancient books. How could it attract too many people to visit the museum?
Not only Han Kongque knew this, but Jiang Lin and the others knew it even more, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to buy antiques everywhere.
Although the treasures discovered by Jiang Lin and the others are valuable, they contain the largest number of ancient books and not many other calligraphy and paintings.
In fact, if you think about it, the number of ancient books looted by the Japanese from the country was definitely not less than a million. As long as so many ancient books were not destroyed, it is possible to find a batch of them if you randomly find some warehouses from the World War II period.
"We just knew that the collection was too single, so we spent a huge price. The idea of acquiring a batch of other types of antiques was good, but it was not that easy to actually implement it." Jiang Lin was helpless.
Needless to say, Han Kongque also knows that there are many collectors who have good things in their hands, but many of them are owners who are not short of money. It is definitely not that easy to acquire the collections of these people.
"Then what are your thoughts now?" Han Kongque asked.
Jiang Lin said helplessly: "Since you are unwilling to sell what you have, let's cooperate and build a museum in the future. Your collection can be displayed in our museum, and we will share the ticket fees for the exhibition."
"Are you so nice? You save things for free and give us money? Is that what you mean?" Han Kongque said with a smile.
Jiang Lindao: "That's what it means. If you hide things in banks or safes, it is definitely impossible to get any income. Not only will there be no income, but there will also be storage fees. If the collection in your hands can
Put it in our museum, we will help you with its maintenance and upkeep, and at the same time, you will gain from the display. This is something that benefits both parties."
"Then how to divide it?" Han Kongque asked.
"The shares will be divided according to the value of the collection. If it is a porcelain museum, we will calculate the share based on the value of your collection and calculate the percentage of the value of the entire collection that the collection occupies. Of course, we will remove the museum's management fees and maintenance fees in advance."
"That is, you will get a share only if you make money. What if you don't make money?" Han Peacock asked again.
Jiang Lindao: "This is just a preliminary idea of ours. As for the specific operational details in the future, we will definitely need to seek the opinions of some big collectors.
You also know that there are not many antiques such as porcelain, bronzes, etc., especially calligraphy, paintings, calligraphy and the like. It is very troublesome to store these, and they may be damaged if you are not careful.
Therefore, if the income is too small, it is impossible to get a share, but we will never charge management fees to those collectors."
"That's not bad. If you build a museum, I will consider putting the collection in my hands with you." Jiang Lin has been nice to Han Kongque recently, so Han Kongque directly agreed to him.
