Although it had been a while since he heard these names, Lin Chen certainly still remembered them.
Mr. Kong is the vice president of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee.
The National Treasure Redemption Plan is a plan developed by this committee to recover national treasures lost overseas.
Relying on the exchange of collections, the Chinese treasures that have been lost abroad can be brought back to the country from those foreigners.
Lin Chen promised Mr. Kong at the beginning that he would help him implement this plan, but later Mr. Kong never contacted him, and Lin Chen almost forgot about it.
Now they're in trouble?
"Old man, what is going on?"
"Let's talk about it specifically when you go to the island country. Time is tight there, so go there immediately. The sooner the better! If it's late, it might be too late!"
Seeing that Mr. Su was so eager, Lin Chen immediately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen asked the crew and found out that if he wanted to fly directly to the island country from the other side of the ocean, he had to get a visa first.
But if you follow the usual steps, it will take a lot of time, especially since it is Lin Chen's first time to go to an island country, and the relevant visas will be even more troublesome.
Fortunately, Lin Chen had other options.
He called the people at the banquet club and explained a few words, and they asked him to wait for news.
About an hour later, the Night Banquet Club called back and said that everything was ready. Lin Chen could go to the island country first, and someone from the club would give Lin Chen a visa at the island country's customs.
Sure enough, as long as you have money, everything is convenient.
So, Lin Chen, who encountered an emergency, said goodbye to everyone on the other side of the ocean and hurried to the island country on his private jet.
As for Miao Feng, he had no choice but to take a civil flight back to the island country.
After a nearly ten-hour flight from the appointment to the island nation of Toto, Lin Chen's private plane arrived at Toto's Haneda Airport.
Not long after the plane stopped, a man in a suit stepped onto Lin Chen's plane.
"Hello Mr. Lin, I am the person in charge of the Dongdu office of the Banquet Club Island Country. This is the visa you need!"
The other party handed a visa to Lin Chen, but Lin Chen found that he seemed to have missed something.
"I'm sorry, where is my bodyguard Lei Long's visa?"
The other party said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sir, we couldn't apply for your bodyguard's visa?"
"Why?" Lin Chen asked a little strangely, and the banquet club couldn't get a visa?
"We are also very confused about this. The other party said that your bodyguard is a veteran with a sensitive identity and is refused entry. We have already communicated with him, but there is nothing we can do for the time being."
Lin Chen turned to look at Lei Long, who was also puzzled: "I can go to the other side of the ocean, how can people from the island country be so sensitive?"
"I'm sorry, the characters of the islanders are so weird. So Mr. Lin, your bodyguard can only stay on the plane for the time being. However, if you need it, the club can also provide you with bodyguard services."
"Forget it." Lin Chen shook his head. He was not familiar with the club's bodyguards. He didn't want to be watched by outsiders 24 hours a day, so he had better be careful.
In this way, when Lin Chen entered the island country this time, he could only let Lei Long stay on the plane and enter the country alone.
After walking out of the customs, there were people waiting outside to pick Lin Chen up.
The other party is Inoue Kinaoka, the general manager of the Su family's Mingyue Group's island branch.
The Mingyue Group has a big business. Although it does not have much direct business in the island country, it does have an import and export company, and the Inoue Kinao family is the person in charge of this company.
You can tell from his name that he is from the island country.
This time, Mr. Kong and Lu Li came to the island country. Mr. Su could not come due to physical reasons, so he asked people from the Mingyue Group to be responsible for hosting them, as if they were half-landlords.
Knowing that Lin Chen was coming, Mr. Su directly ordered Inoue Kinao's family to come and receive him.
Since he works for a Chinese company, Inoue Kinao naturally knows some Chinese.
When he received Lin Chen, he said politely: "Mr. Lin, the car is ready. Please come this way."
"Yeah." Lin Chen nodded: "Where are Mr. Kong and Lu Li?"
"Mr. Kong and Mr. Lu are waiting for you in the car."
Hearing this, Lin Chen immediately quickened his pace.
Walking to the roadside of the airport, in a Toyota car prepared by Inoue Kinao's family, Mr. Kong and Lu Li were indeed in the car.
"Xiao Lin!"
"Mr. Lin!"
Kong Lao and Lu Li greeted Lin Chen enthusiastically.
Sitting down opposite them, Lin Chen immediately asked: "Mr. Kong, Mr. Wu hurriedly called me here this time, saying it was for the national treasure redemption plan. Are you in trouble?"
"There is no trouble yet, but we will encounter it soon. If you don't come, Lin Chen, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to successfully complete the plan this time." Kong Lao explained.
It turns out that the two of them came here this time for the national treasure redemption plan.
This time, in the island country, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that allows them to bring back a priceless national treasure.
This national treasure is called the Warring States Period gold and silver hunting pattern mirror. It is a precious mirror from the Warring States Period.
It was unearthed in the 1930s of the 20th century, when China was at its bleakest time, when the country was weak and the people were ignorant.
At that time, a mausoleum from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was accidentally discovered, and countless bronze ritual vessels were buried in the tomb.
Although these cultural relics have gone through thousands of years, they are still intact.
They should have been the treasures of all Chinese people, but at that time they were excavated by the ignorant local gentry and foreigners and shipped out of the country.
Thousands of cultural relics in the tomb were missing, but this time, the Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee accidentally learned that one of the Warring States Period gold and silver hunting mirrors suddenly appeared, and the owner of this mirror also intended to sell it.
.
Knowing this news, Mr. Kong immediately gathered the capable forces of the appraisal committee, together with Lu Li, and a group of people came to the island country, hoping to return the precious mirror to its original owner and bring it back to the country.
But when they got here, they found that things were not as simple as they first imagined.
"Then the owner offered a high price?" Lin Chen asked.
But Mr. Kong shook his head and said, "It's not high. The price offered by the other party for that Warring States treasure mirror is 100 million yen. This price is almost the same as giving it away for free."
"Only 100 million yen? Isn't that just tens of millions?" Lin Chen thought he heard wrongly and couldn't help but look at Lu Li who was standing aside.
But the latter also nodded in confirmation.
Lin Chen asked again: "Then they are unwilling to sell to us Chinese?"
"No." Mr. Kong shook his head, "This time the owner of the treasure mirror not only wants to sell his treasure at a cheap price, but is also willing to sell it to anyone who is interested, not just the islanders."
"If you want to get the treasure, just giving money is not enough. If you are unlucky, you must go through an appreciation duel to decide the final owner!"
