Chapter two hundred and eighty heart blocked
In Li Mo's impression, the number of tiger talismans with inscriptions unearthed in China can be counted on one hand. This new tiger talisman was lost abroad, and it may have been unearthed earlier than the few domestic ones.
After returning to China, I will start to conduct a detailed appraisal of this tiger charm.
It was the right time to come to London with the expert group this time.
It was noon here in London and around 7pm in China. Li Mo called Chen Xiaojun and asked him to transfer ten more people.
In another room, Qin Yali also received a call from her superior, and the topic was to remind her to pay attention to the influence in London.
"I heard that Li Mo is not very disciplined and does not obey arrangements. As the leader, you should always remind him. After all, he is young, so don't let others take advantage of him."
"Leader, Li Mo reported to me according to normal procedures before going out. There is another very important thing to report to you. Li Mo found three pieces of late Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain at an antique market near the hotel, and another A tiger charm with mismatched silver inscriptions, preliminary judgment may be from the Warring States Period at the earliest or the Han Dynasty at the latest. It is a national treasure lost abroad."
"Wrong Silver Inscription Tiger Talisman!"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying, "Ask him to pay attention to safety when he goes out again, that's all."
Qin Yali listened to the beeping sound on the phone, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. The Li family must have snitched, but the superiors knew that Li Mo had found a national treasure when he went out. Regarding the return of the national treasure, the leaders above She has always been supportive, so she finally asked her to tell Li Mo to pay attention to safety.
The matter of complaint will be settled.
After about three days of jet lag in the hotel, everyone gradually adapted to this biological clock. On the fourth day, Li Mo got up early and went to the British Museum with everyone today. According to the Qin Bureau's instructions, when we got there, we first visited the museum. , every year the antiques in the display area of the Chinese Pavilion in the British Museum are adjusted, and many of the antiques have never been seen by experts before.
Li Mo was also full of expectations for this. At nine o'clock in the morning, the bus was waiting at the door of the hotel. Li Mo and a group of experts walked out talking and laughing. He saw the woman from the Li family with a stinky face, Immediately he felt unhappy. Anyway, he was only a senior member of the team, so he walked up to her and didn't even look at her, and just got on the bus.
The bus drove for about thirty minutes and finally arrived at the British Museum. When he got off the bus with the team, he saw countless tourists waiting to enter the museum.
"When will we be able to go in?" Li Mo was a little dumbfounded.
"Those people are entering the pavilions of other countries. There are not many people in our Chinese pavilion, so go this way."
There were really few tourists in the Huaxia Pavilion. Li Mo and the others waited at the door for a long time before they saw a team member walking over with an ugly expression.
"What's wrong? Didn't you get the pass?" Bureau Qin asked with a frown.
"Bureau Qin, the person in charge there said that the maintenance work will not start until tomorrow. If you want to enter the museum today, you need to buy a ticket normally."
"What? We came here only after being invited by them. We pay for food and drinks ourselves. Do we have to pay for tickets to enter the Huaxia Pavilion? This is simply too much."
"Are they deliberately humiliating us?" Qin Yali looked gloomy. The people in charge were very polite when she came here before. Not only will they no longer provide meals and accommodation this year, but they need to pay for it themselves. Now they even have to buy a ticket to enter the Huaxia Pavilion.
.
This is a blatant disregard for a group of people.
"Qin Bureau, don't be like them. I'm going to buy tickets. We just treat it as a trip to relax."
Although Li Mo was angry, he still had a faint smile on his face. They had come all the way to assist the British Museum in maintaining antiques, but now they didn't take him and others seriously at all. If they turned around and left now, I'm afraid they would be even worse.
Laughing secretly.
Gu Hao
This matter will not be settled so easily.
Soon Li Mo bought the tickets, and then entered the Chinese Pavilion with a group of angry experts. As soon as they entered the pavilion, everyone's anger was forgotten. They were all shocked by the rows of porcelain antiques displayed in front of them.
Li Mo glanced casually, and his eyes were full of circles. The first thing that caught his eye was the porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. Each one was so beautiful, and there were many types, ranging from standing vases over one meter high to as small as the palm of your hand.
The hand-pressed ornamental vase, made of blue and white and pastel, is exquisite and beautiful, unparalleled.
Just at a casual glance, there were at least more than 500 authentic pieces of Daqing official kiln porcelain on display. Any piece he took out could sell for more than 4 to 50 million. He saw a pastel vase from the Qianlong period, which was auctioned.
At least 10 million will start at the meeting.
This batch of porcelain alone is priceless.
Li Mo quickened his pace and entered another aisle. The porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was displayed inside. There were ten pieces of rare underglaze red porcelain, and they were in perfect condition. Walking forward for a while, he saw two
Colored glazed porcelain, they stand there neatly.
If these were placed in a domestic museum, each piece could be displayed as a treasure.
The more Li Mo looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. These were all the masterpieces of his ancestors. During those dark years, many of these treasures were plundered abroad, and some became personal belongings, but even more
Many of them are displayed in museums for public viewing, and are visited by countless Chinese tourists, who also charge expensive tickets.
When he walked into the Bronze Hall, Li Mo stood there motionless for a long time. The anger in his heart had reached the point where he was about to explode.
"Li Mo, why don't you leave?" Bureau Qin walked to him and asked softly.
"Bureau Qin, I'm so worried that I'm going to leave first. I'll wait for you at the door."
After speaking, Li Mo walked out of the Huaxia Pavilion with a gloomy face. He looked up at the blue sky. It felt like there was a huge stone pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Drink some water." Qin Yali also walked out, handed him a bottle of water and sighed, "No one is willing to do this kind of thankless work, but after all, those things are left by our ancestors.
Seeing them being destroyed, we couldn't get over that hurdle in our hearts. This is the third time I have led a group, and every time I feel uncomfortable inside, but there is nothing I can do."
Li Mo gradually calmed down after drinking a bottle of water. He said solemnly: "Aunt Qin, I won't come over tomorrow. I want to spend more time going to various antique markets in London to see if I can buy more.
to the antiques lost abroad.”
Qin Yali's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and she nodded after about two minutes and said, "Do you need my cooperation to do anything?"
"I've transferred ten more people from China, so there's no need to worry about safety. It's just that the woman from the Li family still needs you to help me out. She puts on a stinky face every time she sees me, and I don't owe her anything.
.”
"Don't worry about her, I will take care of it. But you must leave early and come back late, and the time must be synchronized with us."
"no problem."
After lunch, Li Mo and Qu Yang went to the nearby Bermondsey Antique Market again. This time, he did not waste time in the open-air market, but went directly to the first antique shop.
This antique shop sells a variety of items, including porcelain, jewelry, firearms, and even various strange-shaped stones.
"Boss, the decoration environment here is very old. I'm afraid it hasn't been renovated in 20 or 30 years. However, the atmosphere here is a bit more ancient than in China. I still like this feeling."
"Well, many of these shops abroad have been in the antique shop business since their grandparents, and have been passed down from generation to generation. The decoration environment here can actually give people this feeling, that is, 'inheritance'. Unlike ours
Those antique shops in China, on the contrary, are decorated as high-end as possible. What they lack is this kind of inheritance spirit. Once there is no future at all, they will quit without hesitation and stop losses in time."
Li Mo looked at the surroundings carefully and gained a new understanding of foreign antique stores. Then he began to look at the porcelain on the shelves. All he saw were modern handicrafts, not even high imitations.
