Chapter 121 This is all paid to pay to give me a head
On the issue of how to extract maximum profits from foreign cultural relics, Gu Kun’s three views are very clear:
The fading empire is just used to beat it up and establish its power.
If the "Suarez" were to carry historical relics from Oceania or from the Germans or the French, Gu Kun would never dare to do this, at least with his power within five years.
When Tang Jia and Gao Jianxiong heard about this idea for the first time, they both felt that it was a bit gadfly, and it was not suitable for the Chinese people's usual defensive outlook on moderation.
Even a simple man like Gao Jianxiong couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Boss, would it be better if you were a little more 'I won't offend anyone if you don't offend me'... The Spaniards and Filipinos are indeed nothing to worry about, but if
Other Western countries also have opinions about us because of this, will the gains outweigh the losses?"
Gu Kun smiled and was about to speak, but Tang Jia reacted faster and took the initiative to talk to her boyfriend:
"This should not happen. Western countries are not monolithic. As long as we do not break the rules of the game, and the total benefits that the rules of the game will bring to them in the future will be greater than the losses this time, then they will be inclined to continue to uphold the rules——
Why didn't Britain, France and Germany step in when Oceania found an excuse to beat up Spain 100 years ago? Because they knew that this kind of international rule of making excuses to beat up Spain was still more beneficial than harmful to Britain, France and Germany, so there was no need to be angry.
poor neighbors undermine existing international rules.
In the same way, what are the chances that we Chinese can seize the cultural relics of Western civilization, slap them in the face, and hype up the auction prices? Compared with the oriental cultural relics seized by Westerners that have not yet been sold on the market, they are simply very few.
Under such circumstances, how could they destroy a long-term international rule that is generally beneficial to them for the benefit of the Spaniards and Filipinos? They can only watch as we make money and gain fame."
These few words really spoke so clearly that even Gu Kun couldn't help but nod secretly.
Gu Kun actually knew the simple laws of nature here, but he summarized them by relying on his survival instinct in the lawless land of the sea for two lifetimes.
Tang Jia majored in international relations, so she was more professional than him.
Just like two people can find prey in the wild, the former relies on the hunter's instinctive sense of smell, while the latter relies on the analysis of a thermal imaging camera.
Obviously Tang Jia knows how to teach others and understand them, and unify the team's thinking:
What happened to bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
In the international maritime field, what is needed is the ability to be strong and stubborn.
"Then I will follow this arrangement. Regarding the legal declaration required by our security company to provide security services in the Netherlands, I will find someone to complete it so that it will not delay the day after tomorrow." After Gao Jianxiong's mind turned around,
, execute it faithfully and immediately.
"Let Jiajia accompany you to get familiar with it. She has good foreign language skills. When it comes to contacting lawyer Sophia, you have her make conference calls together to avoid you not understanding the technical terminology requirements." Gu Kun said steadily.
A word of concern.
"Understood, I will complete the task." Tang Jia has already entered the role. Although she has not negotiated remuneration with her boss, she has already consciously regarded herself as Gu Kun's confidant.
"Don't worry, I have one more thing to say hello to you - this semester, you should try your best to apply to finish the exam as early as possible and leave early. From the end of June to the beginning of August, I have a lot of things to do during the summer vacation that require your attention.
Lan Fang, help me with the cooking and driving
.It is not convenient for me to return to Lanfang for the time being, so you don’t have to do much, just hold off the person who is looking for me. Let’s talk about this in detail when we come back. You will understand then. Anyway, you should free up your time first.
." Gu Kun gave his last regards.
Although Tang Jia didn't know the reason, she didn't question her boss's overall view. She just silently noted the time and prepared to squeeze in some time in advance.
Before leaving, Tang Jia couldn't help but ask one last question: "By the way, Brother Kun... those things you said before that have nothing to do with work, it shouldn't matter if I mention them to the outside world, right? For example, your predictions for China's future development, etc., I
I think many of your words are thought-provoking. It should really open the eyes of those who have always wanted to escape and fantasize about the collapse of China."
"It doesn't matter what you say. If you want to quote it, just quote it." Gu Kun agreed in an easy-going manner, and also clarified, "But don't get me wrong, I am not against Chinese men marrying foreign girls, or against girls marrying foreign girls.
foreigner.
I just think that those people who are looking for foreign trash at any cost are like sharks. If they are in love and looking for foreign elites and foreign beauties, that’s okay. This is all personal freedom. I don’t target anyone’s choice, I just target them.
IQ.”
As for ants like Tang Jia's aunt and Tang Jia's cousin, how do they deserve to be condescended to by Gu Kun himself? Do they have the qualifications?
After Tang Jia learned the boss's quotations and paraphrased them, he was already giving those people face.
…
Two days later, Gu Kun, who had taken another two weeks of vacation from school, flew to the Netherlands again.
The auction of cultural relics and treasures planned for him by lawyers Van Bilson and Sophia will start soon - the original auction date is earlier than this, but due to the protests from relevant foreign departments, it is necessary to apply for arbitration a few more days
wheel, dismissing their protests.
But Gu Kun is very strict in collecting evidence, and Sophia's design is also very sinister, so everything is under control.
May 16, The Hague International Maritime Disputes Arbitration Tribunal.
As the person whose rights were applied for, Gu Kun went to court with Sophia. The horse boy he brought was also outside, ready to be summoned at any time.
The stands were crowded with Western media who were watching the excitement, which made Gu Kun very excited.
This is an opportunity to become famous and drive up prices, and it’s safe.
"Huh? Didn't we agree that the relevant departments, mainly Filipinos and Spanish, will question the origin of our cultural relics? Why are the relevant applicants from Peru and Bolivia the first to respond today?"
After sitting in the arbitral tribunal, Gu Kun sharpened his skills before the battle. He looked at the pile of materials that Tang Jia had interpreted for him on the spot and discovered this problem, so he consulted Sophia.
"Don't worry, these two countries are appetizers and can be sold instantly this morning, so I didn't inform you, it was just a formality - they didn't want to question it at first, but I gave them some private benefits and invited them to come.
It’s for someone’s head.” Sophia said with wisdom.
Soon after, the arbitrator announced the start of the process. The "prosecution" representative chattered for a while and presented some evidence.
The main idea is that among the cultural relics that Gu Kun picked up for sale, those "Tombaga" golden masks are obviously products of the ancient Inca civilization in Bolivia.
In the same way, the Inca rose bracelets sold by Gu Kun are also cultural relics made by the ancient ancestors of Peru. Moreover, it is said that these things were plundered by the Spanish colonists at the beginning, and they were not bought and sold by the Inca ancestors.
Therefore, the original stage does not belong to the acquisition in good faith, and Gu Kun should not apply to the acquisition in good faith.
As for Gu Kun, under Sophia's guidance, he bounced back a few points:
"I would like to ask, the plaintiffs who claim to represent the relevant departments of the Peruvian government and the Bolivian government today, do you represent the government formed by the Indians back then? Can you represent the successors of the Inca civilization?
Their domestic national-related policies are not as good as the Indian protection/"First Nations" protection in Oceania and Canada, right? To defend, find a pure-blood aboriginal society with qualified subject qualifications to apply, and please prove that the original
The relationship between residents’ associations and the origins of the cultural relics I salvage.”
Gu Kun would not have thought of these words at first, but they were already written in the manuscript Sophia gave him, so he read them accordingly.
In a word, the defending party is not qualified. You are not qualified to take care of this matter at all! You are not qualified to be the plaintiff!
This one-sided and exciting confrontation even made sense to the reporters from the Netherlands, Germany, and France who were in the audience. They cheered a little and agreed, so that the arbitrator had to bang the hammer several times to maintain order.
"Yes, yes, they are originally descendants of Spanish colonists. The government established after independence actually had the nerve to say that those things were plundered by the Spaniards in the early years. Isn't that what their ancestors plundered?"
"It's so funny. The descendants of the colonists are pretending to seek justice for the descendants of the indigenous people. Hahaha, it amused me to death. This is the best comedy news today."
"Today's report can be ironic by quoting Victor Hugo's sharp sayings. The reporting effect will definitely be good. Those colonial protesters also have the nerve to say this. They are nothing like the barbarians who stormed into the Old Summer Palace 130 years ago, burned, killed and looted.
Difference!" The person who thought this was obviously a tactful left-wing French journalist.
French journalists are famous for daring to criticize such matters. As long as the news is sensational and the reporter is famous, it is no problem to criticize their own country - just like Victor Hugo dared to criticize the barbarians who stormed into the Old Summer Palace.
Fellow people.
What's more, the people being criticized today are other foreigners, so French reporters have no mental barriers.
Gu Kun looked at the atmosphere in the venue and was very satisfied with everything.
"Well done, Miss Sophia, I want to hire you to be my long-term lawyer."
"Don't be complacent, this is just an appetizer. Hurry up and practice the script plan I gave you!" Sophia suggested expressionlessly and professionally.
