I Open a General Store in Early Tang

Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...

Chapter 414: Getting into trouble!!!

These twelve golden dragons were gifts from Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

It is also extremely important for the treasures collected by Zhuang Zhou.

The auction price offered by Christie's is between HK$36.57 million and HK$43.5 million.

Converted into RMB, it is almost 40 million.

That’s a lot of money!

But now, these twelve golden dragons were suddenly stopped by the Hong Kong government.

There is obviously a problem here.

Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and asked:

"Mr. Li, can you tell me the specific reason?"

Li Mingsheng hesitated for a moment before speaking:

“I don’t know the specific reason for this…

However, I heard it has something to do with the mainland.”

"Inland?"

Zhuang Zhou frowned even more tightly.

Could it be that the government took action?

But there is no reason!

He brought back the twelve golden dragons himself.

It is not considered smuggling and is completely legal.

There is no reason for the government to intervene!

unless……

A light bulb went off in Zhuang Zhou's mind.

Unless someone regards these twelve golden dragons as national treasures.

Worried about drifting overseas.

Then that's possible.

After a pause, Zhuang Zhou asked again:

"What about other items, such as night-shining pearls? Can they still be put up for auction?"

Li Mingsheng said, "Everything else is fine, except these twelve golden dragons cannot be auctioned."

Zhuang Zhou nodded:

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Li."

Hang up the phone.

Zhuang Zhou called Ma Changbo back:

"Hello, Mr. Ma, are you looking for me?"

"Hey, Brother Zhuang, you finally called me back!"

Zhuang Zhou was very sorry:

"Sorry, I'm on a business trip these days."

"You don't even bring your cell phone when you're on a business trip? I've called you over a dozen times!"

"Sorry, sorry! I'm busy with special work and can't answer the phone."

The other party was obviously stunned:

"What kind of special job is this? Are you going to rob graves?"

“…”

"Mr. Ma, are you calling to talk about the Christie's auction?"

"Yes, Mr. Li has contacted you, right?"

"Yeah, I just got on the phone."

"Hey! Brother Zhuang, those twelve golden dragons of yours have caused big trouble!"

Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice:

"What kind of trouble is it?"

Ma Changbo pondered for a moment and said:

"Those twelve golden dragons of yours are considered cultural relics that cannot be photographed in mainland China.

Now Christie’s doesn’t dare to bid for it, fearing that it will get into trouble.”

Ban on photographing cultural relics?

Zhuang Zhou was stunned.

Then he smiled bitterly.

Once this label is attached, it is forbidden to photograph cultural relics.

This means that these twelve golden dragons will no longer be able to be auctioned publicly.

It is even said that the money may have to be confiscated and handed over.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Ma Changbo say:

"Brother Zhuang, this time we might really get into big trouble!"

"How do you say that?"

"I have also been cooperating with relevant departments to explain the issues recently."

As he spoke, Ma Changbo sighed heavily, clearly exhausted.

"Brother Zhuang, how did you get these treasures?

Are you really robbing a tomb?"

Zhuang Zhou: “…”
