Chapter 894: Press Conference (1)
While the Qingyoutuo was still driving on the way, some media reporters rushed to Tianhaigang Pier as fast as possible and found a hotel nearby to guard it. Some were afraid of missing the Qingyoutuo's arrival, and even paid for some staff to help them keep an eye on it.
Since the cultural relics on the ship have been cleaned up and protected, there is no possibility of any damage. All the Qinghuas did not drive at the highest speed, but slowly floated on the ocean and followed the route toward the sky and sea.
During the voyage, Fang You kept communicating antique knowledge with the old men, and benefited a lot. The same was true for those old men. He was a little amazed at Fang You's extensive knowledge of antiques.
After driving on the sea for a day, Qingyou finally slowly drove into Tianhai Harbor Pier. Major media reporters who received the news put down their work and rushed into Tianhai Harbor madly.
It was just that because the room where cultural relics were placed was too important and all reporters could not be allowed to enter it. So Fang You and Mr. Chu discussed it and decided to hold a press conference in a conference room on the cruise ship.
After the news spread, many reporters around the dock breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew that the cultural relics were probably very rare and it was impossible for every reporter to take photos. It was very likely that some of them would be removed. Now that a press conference is held, everyone can stand equally, which makes all reporters feel good about Fang You.
In a very modern conference room at Qingyou, Mr. Chu and some old men were sitting next to him, including two officials from the cultural relics department who rushed over from the capital. The meeting was chaired by Fang You.
Fang You did not introduce the reason for their salvage, but first explained that this marine salvage was jointly carried out by their Longyou Company and the National Cultural Relics Department. Then, he first released photos of the items taken on the big screen and introduced some extremely precious cultural relics.
The exquisite and beautiful cultural relics on these photos made the reporters in the audience exclaim, and the cameras in their hands were constantly taking pictures.
According to Fang You's introduction, there were 10,000 cultural relics salvaged this time. Some types of cultural relics were explained to the reporters through photos.
Some of the words that Fang You said caused a sensation at the scene. More than 3,000 pieces of porcelain, almost most of which were made in official kilns, were exquisite. Among them, the blue and white goose-neck bottle of Ru kiln sky, made the reporters extremely excited.
Among these reporters, there are many people who often report antique collection news. There are only more than a hundred pieces of Ru kiln porcelain in the world, and they are all small items. They are as big as goose-neck bottles, but they have never appeared in the world.
The color that was as bright as the rain gave the reporters an extremely beautiful feeling. The value of this Ru kiln goose-neck bottle made it difficult for all reporters to believe that this is definitely a priceless treasure.
The more than 800 calligraphy and painting works of ancient famous masters appeared next. There was also a wave, and Fang You roughly released a few photos. The author of each work was a master of calligraphy and painting who had great reputation in ancient times.
The numerous gold and silverware dazzled the reporters. The huge number and exquisite and quaint shape not only made reporters who are used to seeing modern jewelry have a different feeling.
Finally, the bronze ware photos were released. The appearance of exquisite bronze ware made the atmosphere of the entire press conference reach a certain level. Bronze ware is a country's important ware and is strictly prohibited from conducting any form of transaction and auction, which shows its preciousness.
Now Fang You salvaged nearly a thousand bronzes from the sea, which shocked the reporters. There were many large items among these bronzes, full of the majesty of the royal family, and more than one thousand bronzes were found, which were even more than the collections in some large museums.
Finally, he integrated the ten thousand cultural relics of Fang You, each of which is very precious and can be regarded as a fine product, including official kiln porcelains from various dynasties, Ru kiln goose-neck bottles, works of ancient calligraphy and painting masters, and more than a thousand important national tools.
Some of the reporters couldn't help but have doubts. After Fang You finished his story, they raised their hands to ask questions.
"Hello, Mr. Fang, I observed that there was no damage on these cultural relics. It didn't seem to be salvaged from the sea or unearthed cultural relics. What's going on and how did you discover these cultural relics?" A reporter couldn't help but express their common doubts.
Fang You smiled slightly, "Everyone, when it comes to the discovery of these cultural relics, it also originated from a treasure map I accidentally discovered. This treasure map has a simple and vague map, and the text on it is even more strange. I will let everyone see the original picture later. Perhaps some people will think that the treasure map is extremely absurd and only exists in the story, but everyone knows my personality and is very curious. An inconspicuous object that others see can attract my attention."
Hearing this, reporters familiar with Fang You couldn't help but nod. Fang You's personality is like this. People who don't like him can attract his attention. In the end, these things are often precious antiques.
This is true when picking up bargains on Taobao, and the same is true when gambling on jadeite stones. This shows how powerful Fang You's observation is. In the final analysis, it is because his curiosity and will not directly ignore the surface of the object.
Fang You smiled and continued, "To sum up, so I was also curious about this treasure map. So I compared the map above the treasure map with the modern map, and finally found the approximate location of the treasure map, which was on the high seas near the East China Sea in our country. After arriving at the sea and conducting exploration, we finally found the treasure in the sea in a remote place from the treasure map. Later, with the strong help of the national cultural relics department, we started a difficult salvage work."
"Unlike the wreck, these cultural relics are stored in a box, just like they are really treasures buried here in advance. We searched and discovered thirty-eight large wooden boxes in this sea area. Please see, the largest wooden boxes are as big as half a container, and the smallest one is the box of Ru kiln sky green goose-necked bottle."
"What is even more unbelievable is that these boxes are filled with foam, which provides great conditions for protecting cultural relics. This is also the main reason why cultural relics are salvaged from the sea water but there is no damage." Fang You ended his story with a smile.
It would be fine if Fang You didn't say it. This made the reporter's doubts deeper. The treasure map and the wooden box stuffed with foam looked really absurd.
"Mr. Fang, we all know that bubbles are items that have only appeared in modern times. So from this point of view, these wooden boxes have only been put into the sea in recent decades. The preciousness of these cultural relics is unimaginable. Who would pack them up and put them into the sea so seriously? Have you and others found anything about this?" A reporter asked Fang You with a respectful expression.
All reporters have these questions in their hearts. The value of these cultural relics is immeasurable. Anyone who gets them will treasure them. How can they put them into the sea?
It is impossible to have such a huge cultural relics, but only an institution. Decades ago, except for major museums, I believe no institution could have so many precious cultural relics. However, decades ago, there was a war and as a public welfare institution, the museum did not have such great ability to put it into the sea.
All the reporters' minds were filled with mucus, and they could not think about the source of these cultural relics and who was involved.
"At that time, we also had the same doubts as you all. Who threw these cultural relics into the sea and made another treasure map. I wanted to come and salvage them later. After we carefully inspected the boxes on the salvaged, we finally found that the words on the boxes were consistent with the words on the treasure map. Now I will reveal the answer to this mystery for you. When you look at the treasure map and some words on the boxes, you will understand who was putting these precious cultural relics into the sea."
Speaking of this, Fang You's expression was a little solemn, "Of course, some of the photos I'll release next will bring back some bad memories. Please try to keep your restraint as much as possible. In any case, these cultural relics belong to us now."
"Please look, this is the original treasure map I found." Fang You's expression changed from solemn to calm, pointing to the picture on the big screen and said, which simply drew a sea area, marked with some numbers, and there were also some texts next to the numbers.
"What, small island writing, Mr. Fang, is this treasure map you got made by the people of the small island? Are these precious cultural relics that belong to China were thrown into the high seas by the people of the small island?" The moment he saw this treasure map, some reporters had speculation and couldn't help but shout loudly.
It would be fine if the Chinese were thrown into the sea. The people of the small islands could not accept this fact.
When talking about small island countries, except for the existence of traitors, every Chinese will more or less disgust them, especially in recent years, they deny history and fight with a certain island, which has caused an anti-island operation across the country.
Fang You took back countless Chinese cultural relics from a small island country and was vigorously spread by major media. People across the country suddenly felt extremely relieved and felt that Fang You had angered for the Chinese, which made everyone in the country regard Fang You as a national hero.
