Chapter 400: The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
“I don’t know about this, Mr. Iwasaki, is it just a matter of speculation?”
Li Haitao tried his best to look indifferent. , obviously still want to struggle.
The money will not go out of your own account, and you are not allowed to take photos at the private auction. I can sue you for defamation without evidence!
However, Iwasaki took out his mobile phone unhurriedly and pushed it over with a smile.
Li Haitao took a closer look, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, just because it was a high-definition picture of a celadon vase that he was very familiar with...
"Haha! What a coincidence, the person who bought that celadon vase happened to be my friend. .
Director Li, don’t you think this piece of porcelain is similar to the exhibit on the second floor of your museum?” he said with a meaningful smile.
Looking at the photo, Li Haitao turned pale and finally gave up.
This celadon bottle was originally a pre-Qing cultural relic collected by the museum from a farmer in a certain place. It is not top-notch, but it is still valuable.
He was greedy for a moment, but secretly slipped the cultural relic with a fake.
And the one who really...naturally wanted to find a way to do it secretly.
This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. Unexpectedly, he still missed the mark after all...
His tone immediately softened and he smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Iwasaki, this Buddha head is not an ordinary cultural relic. The police are still watching it. Even if I agree to the cross-border exhibition, the superiors will definitely not approve it."
This is not that he is looking for excuses, but the reality.
You knew clearly that the Fuso people wanted to steal the treasure, but you foolishly sent it to someone else's site for an exhibition. Isn't that sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Seeing Li Haitao relent, Iwasaki immediately laughed.
"Director Li, I never make things difficult for my friends. I just need you to cooperate with us. Don't worry about the rest!"
"This... how do you want me to cooperate?" ?”
"Haha! Don't worry, it's naturally a matter of Director Li being familiar with the road..."
Being familiar with the road...
Li Haitao immediately thought of something and his face turned pale.
This group of Fuso people are really bold. If this matter is exposed, it will be a life-threatening job...
Seeing Li Haitao's expression of struggle, Iwasaki said again.
"Don't worry, Director Li. Once the matter is completed, the reward of 100 million will be transferred to your son-in-law's overseas account. Even if Director Li's family wants to apply for immigration, I, the Iwasaki family, can help Director Li make the arrangements!"
One hundred million... Although I know it’s not appropriate...
“You mean Japanese yen?”
“Of course it’s US dollars!”
"Gudong~" Li Haitao swallowed.
He is now almost certain that the group of people who wanted to snatch the cultural relics before are definitely related to Iwasaki!
Faced with the temptation of huge wealth, Li Haitao was naturally tempted.
However, he is not a fool. Of course, he knows that the greater the return, the greater the risk.
This mysterious Iwasaki family is immediately known to be an extremely powerful family in Fuso.
According to the current market situation, if you give yourself 100 million US dollars, how much profit will the other party make even if it changes hands?
Compared with the risk, this amount of money seems to be nothing at all to the wealthy counterparty.
Then the other party risked angering China just to make a little money by smuggling a cultural relic?
This move is too puzzling...
"Mr. Iwasaki, even if this Buddha head is extremely precious, there is no need for you to take such a big risk for a mere cultural relic, right? ?”
Seeing that Li Haitao was always suspicious, Iwasaki sighed, and his expression suddenly became extremely sincere.
"Alas! This is also a last resort to satisfy my grandfather's wish.
To be honest, my ancestors are closely related to the great monk Situo of Tangzhaoti Temple. In fact, our Iwasaki family also has a similar relationship. With the blood of the people of the Tang Dynasty..."
Ah this...
Faced with such a big melon, Li Haitao was obviously a little stunned.
Why do we still become fellow villagers after talking so much?
"Master Situo? Could it be Situo, a disciple of Master Jianzhen who traveled east to Fusang in the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Haitao can sit in the position of museum director, and naturally he also has considerable cultural background. Soon Then he thought of who the other party was talking about: Si Tuo.
"Exactly!" Iwasaki nodded.
“Because of this relationship, the children of the Iwasaki family have been influenced by Chinese culture since childhood and learned Chinese.
My grandfather was even more obsessed with the Buddhist culture of the Tang Dynasty. When he was young, he had several Du came to China to pay homage to the sages and was very fond of Buddhist cultural relics related to Master Jianzhen and the Tang Dynasty.
It will be my grandpa's 90th birthday soon. As a grandson, I naturally want to give him a gift that he likes.
I heard a while ago that the Buddha's head in Mingtang appeared in the world, and I thought about asking my subordinates to buy it, but I didn't expect that something happened in the middle.
My stupid subordinates were even more adept at making decisions and almost caused a big disaster, so I had to come to China in person, which really made Director Li laugh! "
Li Haitao was naturally dubious about Iwasaki's remarks, but he still had the handle, so of course he had to look kind on his face.
"That's it, Mr. Iwasaki. Filial piety is really admirable! ”
"Director Li gave me the award. This matter is a secret of the Iwasaki family. Now that I have told the truth, Director Li should be able to feel my sincerity.
My grandfather taught me since I was a child that when doing things, you must be polite before fighting... ..."
Li Haitao felt a chill in his heart.
The subtext is already obvious. I have said everything that needs to be said, with courtesy and sincerity. If you still don’t understand current affairs, then don’t blame me for using knives or guns.
Li Haitao struggled for a moment.
It was not a "seamless egg" in the first place, but finally, under the coercion and inducement of the other party, he gritted his teeth and nodded...
...
"Jianzhen, Situo... …”
Also eating melons was Meng Lang, who was hundreds of kilometers away.
I looked up this monk Situo, but I didn’t expect that there really was such a person in history.
The story of Jianzhen’s eastward journey is printed in history textbooks and is familiar to anyone who has received nine-year compulsory education.
And this Situo was one of the few remaining disciples of Jianzhen when he traveled eastward.
It is said that Master Jianzhen traveled eastward to Fusang six times, and Situo was the only Chinese monk who followed him "all the way for more than twelve years".
"Building boats four times and entering the sea five times". Although he went through hardships and suffered the pain of wandering, he never gave up. In the end, like Jianzhen, his bones were buried in Fusang, a foreign country.
According to legend, he assisted Jianzhen in the construction of Fusang Tangzhaoti Temple. In addition to teaching legal studies to the monks, he also taught Tiantai religious doctrines. He wrote the earliest historical biography of Buddhism in Fusang, "Yanli Senglu", and wrote The biography of Jianzhen is "The Biography of the Great Monk Jianzhen, The Master and Monk's Mingji of the Tang Dynasty".
This monk Situo is not only the closest person to the great monk Jianzhen, but also has profound Buddhist teachings. After Jianzhen's death, he was deeply respected by the Fusang royal family and had many disciples...
Now listen to this meaning, I don't know where this came from. The Iwasaki family who came out are actually descendants of Monk Suto?
Meng Lang touched his chin with a strange expression on his face.
Facts have proved that the eminent monks of the Eastern Tang Dynasty... inevitably broke the sexual precept in Fusang?
Tang Monk, are you ashamed?
No wonder the monks in Fusang were able to marry and have children. When this spread, something went wrong.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked...(End of this chapter)
