Chapter 409: No money (first update)
Outside the airport.
On the Audi car.
Mu Zhengzhong looked at this painting and remained silent for a long time.
Dong Xuebin looked at him and said, "Mr. Mu, I may have been a little too communicative this time, but I know that you are a patriot, and so am I. With your reputation and the reputation in the media, I have no worries about showing you the painting. Well, it's not convenient for me to say the specifics. Anyway, I don't have any ill intentions. If you think it is too troublesome and too hot, I will put the painting away and leave. We will pretend that we have never met." The Power of Time and Wealth 409
One second...
Two seconds...
Mu Zhengzhong did not let go, still touching the painting and looking over it, sighing, "Young man, what I said on the plane just now was a bit vague. The value of this "Sesshu's Splashed Ink Landscape" to Japan is definitely beyond your imagination. I said How come the airport security personnel were deployed several times? It turned out that the national treasure was stolen. No wonder, no wonder all the police were dispatched. If we really want the Japanese to know that "Sesshu's Splashed Ink Landscape" has entered the territory of the Republic, this will be a major case that shocked the world."
Dong Xuebin, however, said disapprovingly, "I don't know if it's a sensation or not, but their country has stolen a few cultural relics from us? It's normal for me to take one of them. Isn't this the principle of reciprocity? What's the point?"
Mu Zhengzhong didn't know what to say to Dong Xuebin's audacity.
Ordinary thieves are not stupid enough to steal other people's national treasures no matter what cultural relics they steal. This is seeking their own death. The negative impact is too great. Moreover, the greatest value of the national treasure is its historical significance but not its economic significance. No one dares to buy it. For ordinary people, this is a trade that is not worth the gain and will not be done even if they are given money. But the young man in front of him has obviously overturned Mu Zhengzhong's perception. Not only did he steal someone's national treasure with great fanfare, but he also acted like a normal person. He had no intention of "sneaking" or "touching" at all. He also dared to show the national treasure to himself in the first meeting. This kind of courage is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
Mu Zhengzhong breathed out, "I just want to ask, what is your purpose in bringing this painting back?"
"Well, it's just to take a breath and toss them." Dong Xuebin said casually.
"Tossing them?" Mu Zhengzhong said with a strange expression, "Just for this?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Actually, I just took it over casually. It's not mainly for this reason, but it's not convenient for me to tell you the details. I'm sorry."
Easy?
Is it easy to steal someone's national treasure?
Mu Zhengzhong was speechless. He felt that his thinking was a bit unable to keep up with this young man. He had seen bold people, but never seen such bold people!
Is this person not afraid at all?
Mu Zhengzhong guessed it right. Dong Xuebin is National Cadre. Of course he doesn't want others to find out about him, but he just doesn't want to. If it is really found out, he will find out. Anyway, he has returned to China. What is he afraid of? Even if he is still with Tokyo now, Dong Xuebin is not afraid of them. He has b as a background. Even if the other party comes with an armored division to surround him, as long as there is enough time, he can leave whenever he wants. Who can stop him?
"Teacher Mu, how are you considering it?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Mu Zhengzhong frowned and thought, then slowly rolled up the painting and closed it, "... I've thought about it, haha. In fact, I've thought about it the moment I saw this painting. Young man, please give me a price. I'll buy this painting."
Dong Xuebin blinked, "Aren't you afraid of burning your hands?"
"Haha, you are not afraid of a young man like you, and I can't show my timidity." Mu Zhengzhong said calmly, "You are right, it is indecent to come and go. We have lost so many cultural relics and national treasures, so what does it mean to get back one of their national treasures now? This is the territory of the Republic, can they take it back by force?" Mu Zhengzhong just talked a little bit Infected by Dong Xuebin's fearless momentum, "Think about how much repercussions it will cause if their country's national treasures are displayed in our museum. If National Museum may still consider the diplomatic impact, but I only have a private museum, what should I be afraid of? At worst, I will close down after being investigated! What a big deal! Haha..." The Power of Time and Wealth 409
Dong Xuebin feels that he has found the wrong person. This old Mu is also a very courageous master.
"Ok, Lao Mu, okay, I'm determined to be your friend." Dong Xuebin was really rude, "Ahem, what, isn't it too disrespectful for me to call you Lao Mu?"
Mu Zhengzhong waved his hand and said with a smile, "As long as you offer a lower price, you can call me Xiao Mu!"
Dong Xuebin said in a happy mood, "Look what you said, whatever the price is, just take it if you want it without giving a penny."
"Huh?" Mu Zhengzhong was stunned, looked into his eyes and said, "Young man, are you telling the truth?"
Dong Xuebin said with a smile, "As I said, I just wanted to torment them. I didn't plan to ask you for money in the first place. How about making money from their broken national treasure? Dude, I can't afford to shame this person! By the way, when the time comes for the exhibition, you can write a line saying it was donated by patriots, so that others will not think it was stolen back by someone from your museum, and it will not be so stressful. You opened the museum to serve the society, I can't harm you."
Mu Zhengzhong couldn't help but look at him a second time, "Okay, I'm going to say this to you, and I'm determined to be your friend." You went through all the hard work to steal "Sesshu's Splashed Ink Landscape" back to China but you don't want a penny? Mu Zhengzhong had a little respect for him, and became more and more curious about Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin said, "But after a few days of exhibition, when they have become shabby enough, it is useless for us to keep this "Sesshu's Splashed Ink Landscape". I saw the painting, and it is not good. What I mean is, when they are shabby enough, can you exchange it for some of our cultural relics? Of course, it is just a suggestion. You can decide what to do when the time comes. I will not care about anything. You can do whatever you want to do with it."
Mu Zhengzhong groaned and said, "If we can get back some first-class cultural relics or even our national treasures, then the whole society should say thank you to you."
Dong Xuebin shook his head, "I'm just saying thank you. It has nothing to do with me. I haven't seen you today, and you haven't seen me either."
Mu Zhengzhong smiled, "Okay, then I owe you a favor. I'll leave you a mobile phone number. If you have anything, call me directly."
After getting Mu Zhengzhong's mobile phone number, Mu Zhengzhong invited him to have dinner with him.
However, when Dong Xuebin looked at the time, he quickly waved his hand and refused. He left "Sesshu's Splashed Ink Landscape" in the car and hurriedly walked to Mercedes Business where he had left it in the hotel parking lot. Madam Han had his birthday tonight, and Sister Xie asked himself to go there early, but now it's too late! ro! ~!
