My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 399 Flies Don't Bite Seamless Eggs
Just as meng lang was planning how to overtake on a curve and solve zero's hardware problem, the phone on the table vibrated suddenly.

He picked up the phone and looked at it, his expression slightly taken aback.

But it turned out to be a "certain condition triggers an alarm" that I set a long time ago...

He raised his eyebrows. "It's finally here. If you don't act again, I wonder if the future will change again..."

After operating on the mobile phone for a while, a violently shaking camera image soon appeared on the mobile phone screen.

After the picture stabilized, what appeared to be the ceiling of an office appeared.

The mobile phone that was photographed should have been placed face up on the table, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses could be vaguely seen on the edge of the screen, but due to the angle, only half of his face was exposed.

There was a conversation on the phone...

【oops!Mr. Iwasaki, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that it’s a bit difficult to deal with the cross-border exhibition of Buddha heads in Mingtang...]

……

At this time, the Shanghai Museum, the curator's office.

Li Haitao showed embarrassment.

"Oh! Mr. Iwasaki, it's not that I don't help, it's just that it's a bit difficult to deal with the international exhibition of Buddha heads in Mingtang..."

Opposite him are two men in suits, one of whom is a little older.

The other is a young man with a soft complexion, who seems to be the "Mr. Iwasaki" in his mouth.

The young man smiled and spoke in fluent Chinese.

"Director Li, our two countries are separated by a narrow strip of water, have a long history, and belong to the Greater China Cultural Circle.

Your museum and my country have established a profound friendship through cultural exchanges.

Consul General Akamatsu of our country in Shanghai introduced you to me, saying that you are an important cultural exchange ambassador between the two countries.

This time, with great sincerity, on behalf of the Kyoto National Museum, I hope that the people of our country can appreciate this newly unearthed treasure of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that Director Li can make it happen! "

A high hat didn't make Li Haitao, who was used to this kind of scene, fluctuate in his heart.

It's just that Consul General Chisong's words made him dare not underestimate the young man in front of him.

"Mr. Iwasaki was introduced by Consul General Akamatsu and came here on behalf of the Kyoto National Museum.

Logically speaking, as long as the request is not too difficult, we should naturally strengthen cultural exchanges between the two sides based on the principle of good-neighborliness and friendship.

However, this Buddha head has just arrived at our museum not long ago, and it is still in the exhibition period. The public is very enthusiastic about this cultural relic.

It might be a bit inappropriate to hold a cross-border exhibition at this time..."

Iwasaki was not discouraged, and directly offered his own price.

"We naturally understand this point. If Director Li is willing, we can use the 'Yaobian Tianmu Tea Bowl' and the "Bodhisattva in the Womb Sutra" as rewards to exchange exhibitions in your museum.

What do you think? "

"Hiss~" Li Haitao couldn't help but gasped.

"Mr. Iwasaki, you... are you telling the truth?"

"A gentleman's words are worth as much as a thousand pieces of gold, so they are naturally true!"

"This……"

The Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is a black-glazed Jiancup of the Song Dynasty, which was originally used by the Song people for tea fighting.

Fusang people describe this bowl with the word "universe in the bowl", saying that it looks like the starry sky seen by the seaside at night, which is unpredictable.

"Bodhisattva in the Womb Sutra" is a national treasure scripture written in the 16th year of the Western Wei Dynasty. It is said to be the oldest scripture handed down in the world. It is now in the collection of Chion-in Temple in Kyoto.

These two cultural relics from Huaguo are placed in Fusang, and they are definitely among the top ten national treasures.

No matter how precious the Mingtang Buddha's head is, if someone takes two pieces and exchanges one for oneself, no matter how you look at it, you will not be at a disadvantage.

If these two national treasures can be brought back to Shanghai for exhibition, it will definitely cause a sensation in the media.

As the curator himself, of course, he also contributed a lot!

Moreover, the other party was able to take out two national treasures as bargaining chips as soon as he opened his mouth, and his background was absolutely unfathomable.

Being able to sell a favor to the other party has nothing to do with oneself.

only……

Li Haitao resisted the urge to agree, and smiled wryly.

"Mr. Iwasaki, although I really want to agree, I'm sorry, but I can't agree."

"Oh? Why is that?" Iwasaki finally put away his smile and asked with a frown.

Li Haitao's eyes flashed.

"I have some news here. I wonder if Mr. Iwasaki has heard of it?"

"Oh? What news?"

"It is said that this precious Buddha head was almost robbed by a gang of thieves not long ago..."

Iwasaki frowned, but his face was still calm.

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Haitao looked at Iwasaki on the opposite side, and said with a smile, "That's right, and the mastermind behind this robber is said to be two Fusang people..."

Having said that, he has almost made it clear.

"To be honest, when the police sent this Buddha head, they clearly informed us that we should strengthen the security work on the Buddha head to prevent people from coveting it.

If I send the Buddha's head to the Fusang exhibition at this time, wouldn't there be no silver 300 taels here?
If something goes wrong halfway, the cultural relics will be lost...

hehe!Mr. Iwasaki, please forgive me, I am really powerless for your request. "

Li Haitao didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but he also didn't want to offend Consul General Fusang and Iwasaki, who knew at a glance that he had a deep background.

So to speak out, I also want Iwasaki to retreat in the face of difficulties.

Unexpectedly, Iwasaki just narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I was the one who was abrupt, and made Director Li difficult, but since the exchange of exhibitions is not possible, then I can only settle for the next best thing, and ask Director Li to do me another favor."

Li Haitao frowned upon hearing this.

Did I not speak clearly enough?
This Iwasaki was more or less at a loss, and his face turned cold immediately.

"Mr. Iwasaki, I'm just a small curator, I just want to do my job well, I'm afraid I can't help you much."

As he spoke, Li Haitao picked up the teacup and blew on it, but he didn't drink it.

Iwasaki is proficient in the tea ceremony of Huaguo, and knew that this meant "bringing tea to see off guests", but he was not annoyed, and still looked at Li Haitao with a smile.

"Director Li, I heard that your son-in-law also likes to collect antiques?"

The teacup in Li Haitao's hand trembled slightly.

"What do you mean, Mr. Iwasaki?"

"Hehe! I also have news here. I wonder if Director Li has heard of it?"

Li Haitao put down his teacup slowly, and looked at Iwasaki who seemed to have a plan in his chest. "what news?"

"I heard that your son-in-law auctioned a celadon vase at a private auction in Xiangjiang a while ago, and sold it for a high price of 500 million.

Does Director Li know about this? "

"..."

Li Haitao's heart gradually sank...

"What do you want to say?"

Iwasaki hooked the corner of his mouth, "Hehe! I think Director Li naturally knows what I want to say.

There is a saying in your Hua country that flies don't bite seamless eggs. "

Li Haitao: "..."

Threats are threats, can you use a common saying that is friendly to both of us?
