Chapter 1435 Negotiations

After the Little British government made a formal apology, it fell silent and did not respond to Chen Yi's statement of not accepting the apology. It only held a trial of Taylor and James. According to the law, different verdicts were given. James naturally punished multiple crimes, instructed others to steal Chen Yi's cultural relics, instructed others to slander, and influenced Chen Yi's reputation, etc.

At the same time, some trial processes in the court also appeared on media websites. In the picture, James looked old and no longer had the arrogant look he had before, and he did not argue anything, as if he had just confessed his guilt and was punished.

A famous antique dealer in Little Britain, with countless value, ended up like this, which was really a matter of one's own consequence.

After the Little Britain prosecution agency made a prosecution judgment against James, Chen Yi naturally would not let the matter end like this. He convened a team of lawyers and filed a civil lawsuit with the court, asking James to compensate him for all losses such as his reputation.

Even if you get the final compensation, it is better to go to the treasure to find a vacant person, but the corresponding attitude needs to be expressed.

In the following time, Chen Yi did not urge Little Britain to apologize. He just kept picking up bargains on Taobao every day and posted information about the cultural relics he had found. These days before the auction officially began, he also discovered several precious cultural relics again. A small number of them were obtained by chance in the antique market, while most of them were obtained through information from the copy world.

The discovery of precious Western cultural relics, through the continuous dissemination of the media, made the whole world amazed at Chen Yi’s ability to pick up bargains on Taobao.

What many people are most looking forward to every day is to sit in front of the computer and TV to watch whether Chen Yi has discovered any precious cultural relics today.

Watching the cultural relics on the video and listening to the search process explained by Chen Yi, they seemed to be there.

While looking at the cultural relics discovered by Chen Yi, he continued to protest against the Little British government, which has become a part of the daily life of many people.

The Little British government was helpless about Chen Yi's behavior. They even couldn't imagine how there were so many precious cultural relics in Little Britain waiting for this guy to discover.

Now they have officially apologized, and the unconditional return of the smuggled cultural relics, Shakespeare's manuscripts and other cultural relics can also be brought back to China, and some compensation has been given, but Chen Yi just disagreed.

There is still some time before Chen Yi's passport visa, and it is impossible for them to deport Chen Yi now, or not to renew his passport after it expires. In that case, the whole world will once again launch a more fierce protest against them.

If it were the time when Shakespeare's manuscript was published, they would probably not have refused this condition, but now, such conditions are no longer enough.

These precious Western cultural relics that Chen Yi has been constantly discovering have indeed brought great pressure to them. They feel that if they ignore Chen Yi, then this Chinese guy might have discovered all the treasures hidden in Little Britain.

Moreover, those rich and collectors who are participating in the auction have already taken some actions and are preparing to suspend their investment operations in Little Britain. If it becomes a reality, their Little Britain's economy will be greatly affected.

With the continuous holding of Chen Yi's auction, the public's protests will become louder and louder. If they cannot calm the situation in a short period of time, then, according to the current public opinion, even if the party they are in has many seats in the parliament, the case of distrust will definitely be passed, because the whole world is protesting them now.

The time of the first auction is getting closer. Although Chen Yi discovered some precious Western cultural relics during this period, this auction will still only auction the oil painting of William Turner. Next, an auction will be held every day to auction one cultural relics.

From Chen Yi's decision, it is enough to see that this is preparing for a long-term war of resistance. He will not give up until the cabinet government of Little Britain is demoted.

During this period, the Little British government also contacted Chen Yi again. The personnel sent were a negotiating team led by Cabinet Foreign Minister Philip, and Chen Yi was still only Chen Yi.

In this negotiation team, Louis, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture who had contacted Chen Yi, was also listed in the list after the manuscript appraisal. However, Louis, who had a tough attitude, did not even have the courage to look directly at Chen Yi.

A young Chinese man has caused their Little British government to be in a crisis of ousting the power. Not only is he, but everyone can't imagine. It's really not worth the gain. They have gained nothing, but they have lost the hearts of the people.

After the negotiations began, Chen Yi said nothing and handed them a piece of paper full of English letters.

After seeing a few words on the first line, Louis's expression changed drastically, "Impossible, you are delusional, Gu Kaizhi's "Picture of the Wife of the Wise" will never be given to you."

Although he thought that Chen Yi would propose some cultural relics to compensate, he did not expect that the first one would want to get Gu Kaizhi's Tang Dynasty copy paintings, which was simply a joke.

This painting of the Tang Dynasty is the earliest Chinese silk painting. It is not only a national treasure of China, but also a national treasure-level cultural relic in Little Britain. It has always been stored in a collection room that is not publicly disclosed. If such a precious painting is really given to Chen Yi, then their British Museum will suffer the biggest loss in history, not to mention other cultural relics on this piece of paper.

"Oh, it's my delusion, so goodbye to everyone." Chen Yi said lightly. It's not him who is anxious now, but these little British government officials.

These people used despicable means to try to obtain Shakespeare's manuscript from him again and again, but now how could he let it go easily? If he had not made sufficient preparations before, he would have really failed.

"Louis, shut your mouth, Mr. Chen, I am the one who has not controlled myself, please forgive me." Philip, the Foreign Minister sitting next to Louis, glared at him fiercely, then stood up and said to Chen Yi with a smile.

In this negotiation, they were unable to take the initiative, and they could not face Chen Yi with a high attitude. In that case, there would be no other result except to break the negotiations.

They must reconcile with Chen Yi before the parliament votes. In that case, members of the parliament can vote against the fact that the matter has been resolved. Otherwise, according to the current public opinion, the chance of not passing is very small.

"After finally, there is someone who understands the situation, I will give you a chance." Chen Yi nodded slightly, then sat down.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment, let's take a look at this piece of paper." Then Philip greeted Chen Yi, and then began to watch the cultural relics on this piece of paper with the negotiation team next to him.

During the viewing process, some people exclaimed uncontrollably, with disbelief on their faces. When they finished reading it, they found that a total of 100 cultural relics were recorded on this piece of paper. According to the instructions of Louis, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, these 100 cultural relics are the most precious Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum. If all of them were handed over to Chen Yi, then the precious Chinese cultural relics of this level in their museum can be said to be no different from being empty.

Finally, he also made an example. If we calculate the value of this batch of Chinese smuggled cultural relics, then these hundreds of cultural relics are equivalent to dozens of Chinese cultural relics. In the sense, they are even more huge than dozens of such Chinese smuggled cultural relics.

"Mr. Chen, these 100 cultural relics are the most precious existence in the British Museum. With so many cultural relics, the government will never be able to make decisions. It must be submitted to the parliament for approval. The parliament cannot give these 100 precious cultural relics to you just like this. This will greatly affect the prestige of the British Museum. Can we discuss it again?" Philip looked at Chen Yi, who had a calm face, and then said slowly.

The preciousness of these hundred Chinese cultural relics is unimaginable. The Little British Cabinet cannot make the decision at all. If it does not pass the parliament, it will definitely be seized by the opposition party.

"Oh, how much compensation do you plan to give me?" Chen Yi smiled and asked. Each of these hundred cultural relics can be said to be a national treasure-level existence, and a large part of them were looted from the Old Summer Palace.

Philip thought for a moment and said a compensation plan they had already thought of, "Mr. Chen, our government will once again apologize to you and compensate you for twenty Chinese cultural relics. The value of these twenty cultural relics will not be less than 20 million yuan."

"Twenty cultural relics, I'm sorry, I won't accept your conditions. Can the parliament approve it? This is your business. When you used those despicable means, you didn't ask if I would agree. If I had known today, why would I come here first in this negotiation? I can't get Chinese cultural relics from you, so I will change them myself."

Chen Yi said without any emotion in his words, then stood up and walked out of the room.

Seeing Chen Yi walking out of the room without any pause, Philip shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had objected to some methods against Shakespeare's manuscripts. As a minister in charge of diplomacy, he knew deeply what impact this would have on the relationship between the two countries.
