Chapter 96 Sending overseas antiques back to China
Xiao Yingchun didn't realize it, thinking that Wang Yongjun was thinking about which place to buy, so he made the request directly.
"Buy a place with good security. The house doesn't need to be too big. One bedroom and one living room...two bedrooms and one living room are enough."
Wang Yongjun: "..."
He didn't move even after being pulled by Xiao Yingchun. He stood for a while and then looked at Xiao Yingchun with a complex expression: "What did you buy the house for?"
Xiao Yingchun was stunned for a moment by the question: That's right. From Wang Yongjun's point of view, he was just here for a short trip and his English was still broken. What was the need to buy a house?
You must know that a house with one bedroom and one living room costs at least more than 5 million yuan...
After thinking about it, Xiao Yingchun had to explain half seriously and half lie.
"You also know that I am currently doing some investment business, which may sometimes be difficult to operate in China, so I want to buy a house in London so that I can travel frequently in the future."
Wang Yongjun reminded with a serious face: "But you have to know that as long as you are a Chinese citizen, no matter which country you are in, you must abide by Chinese laws."
Even if you are in the UK, you cannot break Chinese laws.
Xiao Yingchun was dumbfounded: This person obviously loves the motherland with a red heart, and he seems to be afraid that he will do something that will displease the motherland.
Xiao Yingchun also thought about it seriously.
Is it disrespectful to the country to bring things from an imaginary era and sell them to people abroad?
It shouldn’t count, right?
After selling things from an imaginary era, you find a way to bring the money back home to spend it. Isn’t that considered patriotic? !
Forget it!
But I couldn’t explain my inner determination to Wang Yongjun clearly.
After all, the Space-Time Supermarket cannot be proclaimed verbally.
What should I do if Wang Yongjun gets angry and leaves him to go back to his country?
This made Xiao Yingchun stand there, his expression changing.
After a while, Xiao Yingchun finally organized his words: "Brother Jun, do you know the current domestic laws on antiques?"
Wang Yongjun nodded: "I know a little bit."
"If the origin of the antique cannot be clearly explained, it may be confiscated by the country, and then a reward of 500 yuan and a banner will be given. You know that, right?"
Wang Yongjun nodded: He has heard of this.
"If I were in China and took out a collection comparable to that of the Forbidden City, and they said it was a cultural relic and had to be handed over, and I still couldn't tell the origin, should I hand it over or sell it to someone else?"
Wang Yongjun said nothing.
Legally speaking, of course it should be handed over.
But few would be willing to hand over something worth millions.
Especially Xiao Yingchun is still young, from an ordinary background, and has no one to rely on.
"But if the collection I photographed abroad has relevant auction certificates that clearly explain its origins, I can take it back and exchange it with domestic collectors for transfer, and there will be no problem."
Wang Yongjun nodded again.
"So Brother Jun, I need a reason to bring back the cultural relics that have been exiled overseas."
"I want to buy collections from abroad, bring them back to China, and then resell them to domestic collectors."
"But I can't live in a hotel all the time. I need a house where I can live, where I can store some of my acquired collections, and then find a way to bring them back to China."
What Xiao Yingchun said was just and awe-inspiring, but it was an excuse at first. As she said it, she suddenly felt - maybe it was really feasible? !
After all, there are many precious cultural relics abroad that were looted in large numbers during the Eight-Nation Allied Forces period, and some of them are not even available in China.
If you can buy it overseas and take it back, you will undoubtedly contribute to the return of antiques.
Domestic collectors will also be very welcome...
You can also transfer it justifiably! Xiao Yingchun spoke to herself, her eyes brightening: "How about it? Take me to find a house first?"
Wang Yongjun's eyes were deep and he finally nodded.
After all, if he doesn't do this job, others will do it.
And others may not have the same conscience as him. If they fall in love with Xiao Yingchun's money, or fall in love with her people and money at the same time, her weak little body will not be able to handle it.
He has a sense of responsibility and sends Buddha to the West.
On the way to buy a house with Xiao Yingchun, Wang Yongjun said the most things along the way, mainly making various phone calls to contact his friends.
After all, Wang Yongjun is not familiar with the London real estate market.
Finally, Wang Yongjun stopped in the southwest district of London and opened the electronic map for Xiao Yingchun to see.
"We are here now. This place is the city hall, and across the river is the embassy. They are all very close..."
After some explanation, the location of this place is really great.
There are many young people nearby.
Of course, a good location means a good price.
A two-bedroom house costs 6.5 million.
Xiao Yingchun looked at the house on the third floor and nodded decisively: "Then this is it? How to go through the procedures?"
Seeing that Xiao Yingchun was satisfied, Wang Yongjun confirmed it in English with his friends and the agent next to him.
The agent smiled so much that his face turned into chrysanthemums, and he hurriedly took Wang Yongjun and Xiao Yingchun to go through the formalities...
The two of them completed the formalities and got a room.
However, the house has not been cleaned yet, so we can only wait for one more day.
Early the next morning, Wang Yongjun left Xiao Yingchun in the house during the day, and he himself ran around mysteriously.
After Xiao Yingchun finished cleaning diligently, he began to place the rosewood furniture and various small items stored in the warehouse.
Furniture is already there, but curtains and bedding still need to be purchased.
Xiao Yingchun called Wang Yongjun to help buy some household items, and at the same time asked Wang Yongjun to ask Wang Chongshan from Willy's Auction House to come over and take a look.
As a result, Wang Yongjun bought a mattress and came over, his face full of shock: Xiao Yingchun's new house actually had a complete set of rosewood tables and chairs!
The coffee table and chairs are a complete set of rosewood furniture...
On the red sandalwood furniture, various treasures that Xiao Yingchun asked Fu Chenan to collect before were scattered.
The previous mother-of-pearl jewelry box gave Xiao Yingchun a taste of the sweetness. She asked Fu Chenan to go to the pawn shop to find a good pair, and now she placed one of them on the rosewood cabinet in the living room.
And there are also porcelain vases and bowls on the Duobao shelf that are worth a lot of money...
Wang Chongshan didn't come because Wang Yongjun didn't believe that Xiao Yingchun could decorate his home in one day without any notice.
Seeing the situation at home at this time, Wang Yongjun regretted not trusting Xiao Yingchun.
"Should I call Wang Chongshan now?"
Xiao Yingchun looked at the time. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon London time: "Call."
When Wang Chongshan came in, he was shocked when he saw that the furniture in the room was all made of rosewood!
He looked around intently before focusing on Xiao Yingchun's face: "If the things in Miss Xiao's house were all genuine, they would be priceless!"
Xiao Yingchun grinned, with a pure face: "I would like to ask if these things can be auctioned?"
Wang Chongshan was shocked again: "Are you planning to put these things up for auction?"
