In the medium-sized conference room of the British Museum, the talks were still going on, and the atmosphere was already quite tense, with a choking smell of gunpowder filling the air.
"This is absolutely impossible, Steven, you are so greedy. Obviously, you want to loot all the ancient books from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave in our library. Your appetite is too big. You also Don’t be afraid to hold on”
The director of the British Library gritted his teeth and said, his eyes filled with anger and his eyeballs were red.
The other British guys sitting on her left and right, including Prince Charles and Prince William, all had angry eyes and teeth itching with hatred.
Contrary to them, Ye Tian and David, who were sitting opposite, had very relaxed expressions, with bright smiles always on their faces.
Of course, the British lawyers employed by Ye Tian looked more embarrassed.
However, they still upheld their professionalism and attitude, stood on Ye Tian's position, and tried their best to strive for greater benefits for him.
As soon as the director of the British Library finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately said with a relaxed smile:
"Ms. Caroline, and gentlemen, please be patient. In fact, you don't need to be so angry. Are the transaction conditions I proposed excessive? You may think so, but I don't think so.
As far as I know, most of the paintings and scrolls from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave collected by the British Library have never been publicly displayed. They have been kept in a high cabinet and are gradually aging in a dark environment.
Those ancient books and documents from more than a thousand years ago are very fragile. If they are left to collect ashes in a dark warehouse, it will not take long for those precious ancient books to completely decay.
Instead of doing this, it is better to exchange them to me. I will give them the best preservation and display conditions, and make them public to all relevant researchers to maximize their value."
Hearing this, the faces of the Director of the British Library and the Director of the British Museum turned red, and their expressions were somewhat embarrassed.
The British Museum and the British Library contain tens of thousands of paintings and scriptures from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave. They are the two cultural and museum institutions with the largest collection of ancient Dunhuang Scripture Cave books in the world.
However, they would rather shelve those precious ancient books that record Chinese history and culture and let them slowly decay than put those ancient books on public display, let alone open them to relevant researchers.
Many experts on Chinese Dunhuang studies have traveled all the way to London, England, but it is difficult to see those precious ancient books and documents. If they want to take a look, they have to apply and wait in line.
Even if the application is approved, those experts on Chinese Dunhuang studies will only be able to see a very limited amount of ancient books and documents, and it is basically impossible to devote themselves to research.
Not only Caroline and Fisher, the faces of other British people at the scene also turned red, but they returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
In the eyes of these British guys, this situation is completely normal and not worth making a fuss about.
In the British Library and the British Museum, as well as other famous cultural and museum institutions in the UK, the ancient books, documents and antique artworks that have been shelved for many years are not just the paintings and scriptures from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave!
However, this situation will definitely be broken today. Ye Tian is determined to get those plundered Dunhuang Scripture Cave paintings and scriptures from the British Library.
Ye Tian saw all the performances of Caroline, Fisher, and Prince Charles.
But he acted as if he hadn’t seen him before and continued to smile:
"Furthermore, for those ancient books and documents from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave, your British Library must have retained relevant image data and electronic files, just like the British Museum.
In the foreseeable future, you will not be able to publicly display those ancient books and documents, and will still keep them in dark warehouses. Under such circumstances, what is the need to keep them?
Even if the relevant personnel of the British Library or some experts and scholars in the UK want to study the ancient documents of the Dunhuang Scripture Cave, the preserved electronic files can meet the needs and are more convenient.
Let’s talk about the books collected by the kings of Jerusalem and the documents recording the history of the Knights Templar that I exchanged. Maybe you don’t know much about how precious they are”
Hearing this, the eyes of Caroline, Fisher, and the other British guys all lit up, and everyone's eyes shone with greed.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"After leaving the Temple Church, I took the time to study those ancient books and historical documents. In those precious ancient books and historical documents, I received a series of huge surprises that were enough to shock the world.
Almost every book in the collection of books by the kings of Jerusalem is a unique one. Since Jerusalem was captured by Saladin’s army, those ancient books have completely disappeared. This is the only remaining batch and is extremely precious.
By studying those precious collections of books, we can start from the Middle Ages, go all the way back to the fifth century, and even European history before and after BC, as well as the history of Jerusalem and surrounding areas.
The content recorded in those extremely precious ancient books covers politics, economy, religion, culture, art, myths and legends, etc., such as the early development of Christianity in Europe.
It is no exaggeration to say that the emergence of those books collected by the King of Jerusalem will change part of world history. Many unsolved mysteries in history will be easily solved and the truth will be restored to history."
"Crash"
With a burst of noise, several British guys across from him pushed away their chairs and stood up. They all stared at Ye Tian with their blood-red eyes, which looked quite scary.
Without exception, the eyes of these British guys are full of greed, and they make no secret of it.
Ye Tian ignored them and continued to add weights to the trading scale, with a confident light in his eyes.
"The documents closely related to the Knights Templar record a series of major events that occurred in the Knights Templar in the nearly two hundred years from their birth to their demise, such as the battles they have participated in.
The various Crusades since 1119 are all recorded in detail in those documents, such as the last Crusade and the history of fighting side by side with Edward I, who was still the crown prince at the time.
There is no doubt that those historical documents are extremely precious. They are not only the most precious historical materials for studying the rise and fall of the Knights Templar, but also the most precious historical materials for studying the history of the Middle Ages and the history of the Crusades.
For the British Library or the British Museum, if these precious ancient books and historical documents are obtained, a series of sensational and major research results will be obtained, and even a subject category can be created.
Although the paintings and scriptures from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave in China are also very precious and of great research value, but you already have electronic files, so why keep those paintings and scriptures that are shelved in the cabinet?
Comparing the two, which choice is most beneficial to you, I believe you will make the wisest choice. Of course, the initiative is yours whether to agree to the conditions I set out and trade with me.
If you reject my offer, then I can only find another transaction partner. The Vatican, the French, and the Americans are all very interested in those extremely precious ancient books and historical documents.
In addition to the Vatican, France and the United States also have many paintings and scrolls from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave, as well as other top antique artworks from China. By trading with them, I may get more! ”
Hearing this, Caroline, the director of the British Library, immediately became anxious.
This lady had long forgotten what elegance was. She pressed her hands on the conference table, leaned her head forward, stared with blood-red eyes, and said word by word through gritted molars:
"Stephen, let's not talk about whether our British Library will agree to the incredible conditions you proposed, conduct transactions with you, and be robbed crazily by you, a greedy guy.
We will never allow the collection of books by the kings of Jerusalem and documents documenting the history of the Knights Templar discovered deep beneath the Temple Church to leave the UK.
Those extremely precious collections of books and historical documents have been included in the list of antique artworks restricted from leaving the country. No matter the Vatican, the French or the Americans, no one can take them away! ”
As soon as Caroline finished speaking, the British Minister of Culture immediately continued:
"That's right, Steven, the books collected by the kings of Jerusalem and the documents recording the history of the Knights Templar cannot leave the country without the approval of the British Ministry of Culture. Even you can't take them away. them"
Ye Tian glanced at the British guys opposite him, then chuckled and said:
"Let me make it clear that I am a law-abiding citizen and a law-abiding businessman. I have never had a bad record of violating laws and disciplines. This is well known and you must have heard of it."
"Pfft"
David and the others finally couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
But fortunately, these guys quickly suppressed their laughter, even though their faces were red and their ears were red, it was very hard!
As for the British people opposite, they all rolled their eyes and complained to themselves in annoyance.
Law-abiding citizens? You bastard, you have the nerve to say with a shameless face, just lie to the ghosts, I guess the ghosts won't believe it.
If you were a law-abiding citizen, you bastard, then the devil could turn into an angel!
