In China, I'm afraid no one dares to deny the status of the imperial seal!
The Dushan Jade Sea is quite large, dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the Imperial Seal. However, in front of the Imperial Seal, let alone the Dushan Jade Sea, even if all the other nine national treasures were counted, they would have no choice but to bow down in submission.
The Imperial Seal is the most worthy national treasure!
As for the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin, although they were counterfeited by Wu Zetian, once these two sets of national treasures are born, the national treasures in terms of bronze and gold will be replaced immediately. To be fair, the nine national treasures selected now can only be regarded as precious cultural relics at best, and are far from being national treasures. But the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin are definitely treasures that can suppress the fate of the country. In addition to the imperial seal, Yang Jing can't think of anything else that can be called a national treasure more than the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin, even if they are counterfeited by Wu Zetian!
As for the Peking Man Skull Flower Stone, needless to say, once the Peking Man Skull Flower Stone is on display, the nine national treasures will inevitably become the ten national treasures!
In other words, including the imperial seal, the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great, the Twelve Golden Men, and the Peking Man Skull Flower Stone, plus the "Preface to the Lanting Poems", the original copy of the "Yongle Encyclopedia", "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", "Opening of the East Market Rice Shop" and the Chai Kiln celadon glaze narcissus vase in Yang Jing's hands, there are a total of eight national treasures that have passed through Yang Jing's hands!
Who can compete with this kind of work?
This is indeed the case.
When these experts gathered at the Grand Canal Museum two days before its opening, they were all shocked by the treasures displayed inside.
Especially since you have so many national treasures from China here, it would be fine if you didn't also have top treasures from abroad?
The treasures that Yang Jing obtained from the treasures of the last Tsar, the pirate king Bartholomew, and Gaddafi were also exhibited. If there were only oil paintings and the like, it would be fine, but there are too many foreign antique artworks on display in this museum, right? The most important thing is that any of these treasures are extremely valuable antique artworks.
In terms of value, the three bronze statues and paintings by famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael are all priceless treasures. How much do you think the three bronze statues can be sold for? I'm afraid no one can really tell.
How much do you think Leonardo da Vinci's favorite painting, Leda and the Swan, can sell for? How much can Raphael's oil painting sell for?
Therefore, Yang Jing has some priceless foreign antique artworks in his hands.
In terms of history, the golden scepter and golden mask of Amenhotep III, the ninth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, and Amenhotep IV, the tenth pharaoh, which Yang Jing obtained from Gaddafi's treasure, are cultural relics with a history of 3,400 years.
There are also some other ancient Egyptian gold products, such as the two golden spears and the golden helmet, which are also treasures with thousands of years of history!
In China, 3,400 years ago it was the Shang Dynasty!
Even Myron's bronze sculpture of "Discus Thrower" is 2,500 years old!
Antiques with such a long history are rare even in China.
In any case, in China, there is probably no other museum that can own so many top-notch Western antique artworks.
Nowadays, those large museums abroad have collections of numerous Chinese antiques and cultural relics, but there are very few museums in China that collect top-level Western antiques and cultural relics. This is truly a tragedy.
And now, this Grand Canal Museum actually has so many top-notch Western antiques and cultural relics, which is a honor for the Chinese people!
The most important thing is that these experts all know that once these precious Western antique artworks are exhibited, they will inevitably attract a large number of Westerners to visit, and there will definitely be many Western countries that shamelessly come to ask for these antique artworks.
Although these things did not happen, everyone knows that they are absolutely inevitable, so now even just thinking about it makes me feel relieved.
In the past, we Chinese people always asked foreigners for cultural relics, but now it is finally the foreigners' turn to ask us for our treasures. This is definitely a very satisfying thing.
However, these experts and masters were also worried that Yang Jing would not be able to withstand the pressure and would have to hand over these precious Western antique artworks, so they all urged Yang Jing to hold on.
It's fine if one or two masters say this, but if too many people give this advice, wouldn't it become like the Snickers advertisement that was popular a while ago - Brother, hold on...ah, I hold on...the beautiful scenery of West Lake, the music of March Day playing...
Yang Jing knew that they meant well, but he couldn't stand hearing them say that all the time. But Yang Jing couldn't tell them, "It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of external pressure at all because of my current status."
That's true. If it were abroad, no matter who wanted it, Yang Jing would ignore it. If you dared to nag, I would even hire a group of lawyers to sue you.
But in China, some things are hard to say. Yang Jing is not worried that he can't bear the pressure, but that the relevant departments can't bear the pressure and put pressure on him.
When abroad, Yang Jing can completely ignore any pressure from all sides, but at home, he has to consider it.
Some people may say, you are in such a position, you have become the boss of a consortium that controls more than 5 trillion US dollars in funds, why do you still care about the pressure from the country, not to mention that your nationality has not been returned yet, you are a foreigner.
