Chapter 285 To whom?(2/2)
Although it seems unlikely that there will be any danger, no one can guarantee whether there is any eventuality.
Zhu Yu's original idea was to order takeout, but considering the efficiency of takeout abroad, he decided to go to a restaurant to eat.
Of course, this is in China. As the host, Kelly naturally wants to prepare a meal and entertain her.
But judging from her attitude, not only did she have no intention of cooking, but she also planned to go out for a meal with Egwene and the others.
Zhu Yu guessed that this was most likely Kelly's habit and should not be the custom of the locals here - at least it was the first time Ai Wen saw him and she planned to treat him to a meal.
To ensure safety, we found a restaurant nearby and had a quick meal. After eating, the group hurried back.
While waiting for the people from the packaging company, Zhu Yu took photos of all the one hundred and eighty-four bronzes, especially the eleven ones with inscriptions.
When the people from the packaging company arrived, Zhu Yu directed people to package the bronze wares one by one.
At this time, Egwene had already paid Kelly the money.
Zhu Yu first found Ai Wen, gave her $10,000, and said:
"Thank you for helping me find these Chinese cultural relics."
Ai Wen politely refused, but the ten thousand dollars was a lot of money, and Zhu Yu's reasons were also valid, so she took it.
"I hope you can notify me directly if there is similar news in the future, and I will have a higher reward then."
Hearing what Zhu Yu said, Ai Wen nodded hurriedly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, if there is any, I will definitely inform you!"
Just by sending a few messages, you can make so much money, why not?
Zhu Yu went to find Kelly again and took out a wad of money and handed it to her:
"Ms. Kelly, you deserve this money."
Kelly's eyes widened when she saw the money, and she immediately took it:
"I also think I deserve it."
"In the future, if you know where there are similar Chinese cultural relics, please let me know and I will reward you."
"It will happen, it will definitely happen!"
When Kelly heard this, her enthusiasm was much higher than that of Egwene.
Ten thousand dollars, how long does it take to earn it?
After arranging the two people, Zhu Yu went to see the bronzes.
According to the packaging company, more than a hundred pieces of copperware can only be finished in a few hours.
But Zhu Yu and the others have high requirements, and this is something that must be completed, so the progress is relatively slow.
Fortunately, Ran Jie and the other three were also helping, so they kept busy until dark. All the bronzes were packed well. Zhu Yu gave the packers a large tip and asked them to leave.
Although the packaging is completed, things are not yet done.
Ewen called a truck, loaded the things, and drove them to a villa.
"Mr. Zhu Yu, this is the residence arranged for you by Mr. Tauris. These bronzes are also placed here. Mr. Tauris will come over to meet you tomorrow to discuss the exchange."
"Okay, thank you." Zhu Yu felt that Ai Wen had thought carefully. If the bronze was taken away, it would be difficult for him to arrange its protection.
Ai Wen said a few polite words and turned to leave.
There were housekeepers and servants in the villa. Zhu Yu guessed that this should be Tauris's own villa.
The housekeeper came over and asked Zhu Yu what their orders were. Zhu Yu just said that they were going to rest and arranged breakfast for tomorrow morning, preferably lunch, and then asked the housekeeper to leave on his own.
Zhu Yu asked Ran Jie and the others to arrange the night watch - after all, it was a national treasure!
It's a quiet night and it's safe.
The next day, it was already noon when Tauris arrived.
He came here with Motoni.
Zhu Yu knew that this was to verify the authenticity of the gold war skirt, so he was not polite and pushed the gold war skirt belt box that he had prepared earlier.
Motoni immediately took the things and began to identify them.
Now he is not so excited.
After watching for about five minutes, Motoni nodded to Tauris.
"Mr. Zhu Yu, happy cooperation!" Tauris smiled, "Okay, you can stay here for a few more days, I'll leave first."
Zhu Yu guessed that Tauris was in an emergency or had something to do with the war skirt, so he didn't say much.
As for living here, he still really needs it.
He planned to transport these bronzes back to his country.
But how to save it after returning to China is a problem.
Fortunately, his transaction was formal and had legal procedures, and Ai Wen had already prepared it for Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu also consulted that antiques can be brought back to China as long as they are purchased legally abroad and have transaction procedures.
After all, this can be regarded as a way of returning cultural relics, but they are just kept in private hands.
Zhu Yu thought for a while and then called Ye Shenghua:
"Shenghua, what is your second uncle doing now?"
It is now two o'clock at noon London time and ten o'clock in the evening BJ time. Ye Shenghua just lay down and received a call. It was not a surprise:
"Second brother, are you too rude? You called me so late at night to ask about my second uncle?"
"Of course, who among us is following whom?" Zhu Yu smiled, "I have something very important to ask your second uncle."
"Very important? What is it? Is there anything more important than the Tang Dao?" Ye Shenghua became interested when he heard that it was very important.
"It's more important than that!" Zhu Yu didn't hide anything and said, "Bronze with inscriptions."
"I'll take the test!" Ye Shenghua jumped up from the bed, "Is it real or fake? Do you have any photos? Take a photo and take a look!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yu said, "I plan to transport it back. But storage will be a problem in the future... I would like to ask your second uncle for advice."
"This... is indeed a problem." Ye Shenghua pondered for a moment and said, "Then you should ask my second uncle. By the way, send me a photo and I will take a look - this thing is really a national treasure!"
Zhu Yu randomly picked up a piece of bronze with an inscription and handed it over - forget about the big plate, it was too conspicuous and was not good.
Then he called Ye Jianshe.
Ye Jianshe really hasn't slept yet and is watching TV with his bracelets crossed.
The phone rang, and seeing that it was Zhu Yu's number, he picked it up.
"Xiao Zhu, if you call me so late, you must have encountered something. Just tell me if there is any problem. We are our own people, so we can talk to you!"
Ye Jianshe was very kind to Zhu Yu. As for the Tang Dao, Ye Jianshe was now a celebrity in the circle.
Not to mention that it was all thanks to Zhu Yu, but he would definitely not erase Zhu Yu's contribution.
This is also a favor.
It is impossible to return the small things that I helped with!
"Second Uncle, I really want to consult you on something here." Zhu Yu told him about the bronze ware.
However, he did not say the specific number, nor the number of inscriptions, nor the number of words in the one with the largest number.
Chapter completed!
