Chapter 137 He's Glowing (Bonus Chapter 1/4: Sorry for posting the wrong chapter at the end of last month!)
With the help of Hao Jun and Ye Anning, Lin Sicheng packed everything back up piece by piece.
Meanwhile, Wang Qizhi contacted the bank's leadership, and Guan Xingmin notified colleagues from the Municipal Bureau's Forensic Center to come to the bank to record the documents.
No other meaning intended, just in case.
And don’t doubt the extent of human greed: even gold bricks in a vault can be switched, let alone a few of your cultural relics.
After depositing the money at the bank, the group returned to school. They had a quick lunch at the cafeteria and then went back to their studio.
Wang Qizhi, Guan Xingmin, and Hao Jun each offered their opinions, discussing which company to contact first and which task to study first.
The three of them weren't very knowledgeable about the technical aspects, but that didn't stop them from understanding the value and nature of these items.
It can be said that simply submitting a research proposal can instantly elevate the research institution's influence to a higher level.
The key question remains: as the owner of the property, how deeply can Lin Sicheng participate, and what tangible benefits and influence does he have?
What else?
According to their understanding, these items were snatched back from criminals by Lin Sicheng at the cost of his life, so they couldn't really let him show some magnanimity, could they?
Anyone who dares to say such a thing, Wang Qizhi would dare to spit in their face.
The three of them were completely absorbed in their conversation and kept talking.
Lin Sicheng didn't care, he wasn't in a hurry anyway, because he couldn't worry about it for the time being.
His worry was that he had no money.
Grandpa gave him three million, which is equivalent to the old man's retirement salary for a hundred years. Isn't that a lot?
But in less than a week, Lin Sicheng had spent all his money: 1.5 million on Dai Jin's paintings. Another 1.6 million on a trip to Hangzhou.
So none of them are enough.
Fortunately, Gu Ming was very helpful; he took Li Xinfang's card and swiped it repeatedly.
This needs to be returned as soon as possible.
Furthermore, a "gold and silver crafts" studio will need to be established, which will cost even more.
Therefore, we need to find a way to convert some of our assets into cash.
After briefly reviewing and making a rough plan, Lin Sicheng told Ye Anning and left the office.
After a long while, the three of them were sore from talking that Ye Anning brought them hot tea again.
After slurping down most of his glass, Wang Qizhi finally remembered: "Where's Lin Sicheng?"
Ye Anning looked helpless: He's been gone for almost two hours, and you're only just realizing it?
“He went home first. Seeing that you were having a lively discussion, he didn’t want to interrupt, so he asked me to pass on the message.”
The three of them paused, exchanged a glance, and then looked away.
It's ridiculous to think about it; we're discussing the main topic, but we're leaving the person in the cold. We don't even know when they left?
"Lin Sicheng hasn't been home for several days, we really need to go back and visit him!" Hao Jun glanced at his watch. "Professor Wang, let's go while we're in a good mood, it's my treat!"
"Senior Brother Hao, how about we reschedule?" Wang Qizhi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Without Lin Sicheng, it just doesn't feel right!"
Isn't that right?
"Yes, another day!" Guan Xingmin quickly reminded him. "We've been dealing with this for over a week. Let Lin Sicheng take a break tomorrow. We also need to have the jade appraised at the market the day after tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qizhi suddenly remembered: if it weren't for that batch of jade artifacts, Guan Xingmin and Hao Jun wouldn't have been able to catch up with them and come to the school.
It was agreed beforehand that I would definitely go, and one trip probably wouldn't even be enough. Because after appraising the jade, I'll also have to appraise the jadeite.
Once this is finished, we need to discuss with the school the specific procedures for reapplying for UNESCO World Heritage status for blue and white porcelain. Simultaneously, team building and research work should also begin as soon as possible.
After that, I need to go to the Provincial Museum as soon as possible to discuss cooperation on applying for UNESCO World Heritage status for gold and silver craftsmanship. Once the agreement is reached with the Provincial Museum, I will start setting up the studio.
Simultaneously, we also need to consider the collaborators on Xu Weili's documents, Cizhou kiln fire jars, and blood-stained rhinoceros horn cups, as well as the research direction.
As he was thinking, Wang Qizhi suddenly stopped: No... how come there are so many research-related projects all of a sudden?
wrong.
There were already quite a few, and Lin Sicheng brought back several large boxes from Hangzhou, so there were even more.
After a moment's thought, Wang Qizhi suddenly realized: No wonder Lin Sicheng wasn't in a hurry at all, just watching the three of them talk non-stop.
After he explained, Guan Xingmin and Hao Jun realized: Lin Sicheng is a donkey. Even if he works 24 hours a day, he still can't keep up.
Then let's postpone it for now.
However, the delay is only for Lin Sicheng; the relevant units should still be contacted as soon as possible to make the situation as conspicuous as possible.
A loud drum needs a heavy beating!
They chatted for a few more minutes before going home.
Wang Qizhi was in front, and Ye Anning was behind.
The uncle and nephew remained silent, both looking preoccupied.
Just as they reached the bottom of the stairs, Shan Wangshu and Wang Youjian got out of the car. Neither of them uttered a sound, watching intently as Wang Qizhi, arms crossed and head drooping, passed by them.
It's starting again?
Just like Lin Sicheng a while ago.
Then Ye Anning came over, and the mother and daughter remained silent. They quietly followed behind until they got home.
Then, the uncle stared blankly in the living room, and the nephew stared blankly in the dining room.
Especially Wang Qizhi, whose wife and son followed him into the house without him even glancing at them.
Shan Wangshu stared for a long time: "Anning, your uncle broke up with his girlfriend?"
"Lin Sicheng is back!" Ye Anning chuckled. "Uncle is thinking about something to research!"
"Then why are you spacing out like that?" Shan Wangshu chuckled. "Lovesick?"
Where?
Ye Anning shook her head and sighed, "Lin Sicheng brought back a lot of things from Hangzhou, including several national treasures..."
Among them were four fire jars used by Southern Song emperors, and a blood-stained rhinoceros horn cup used by Ming emperors. There were also three boxes, all containing documents from Southern Song officials, including five imperial edicts alone…
At first, Shan Wangshu didn't take it seriously: she thought to herself, let alone going to Hangzhou, whenever Lin Sicheng left school, he would always bring back some nice things.
But suddenly, her eyes widened: "What cup?"
"The imperial fire cupping set used by the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty..."
"I was asking about the second item?"
"Oh, the blood-stained rhinoceros horn cup, it's exactly the same as the one in the Dingling Mausoleum!"
"No... how did he find it?"
"I got it from an antique dealer for 260,000 yuan..."
Dan Wangshu looked astonished: How dare this brat be so bold?
As Ye Anning spoke slowly, Shan Wangshu's eyes widened and widened.
Having worked at the Palace Museum for over ten years, she certainly knew what more than sixty Southern Song Dynasty documents meant. She also knew what an imperial edict was and what its nature was.
But compared to that, she felt it was less than one-tenth as impactful as the rhinoceros horn cup.
Because the Palace Museum had conducted all the tests that Lin Sicheng mentioned. However, they were too sensational to be made public.
But she never imagined that someone could find a second one.
Moreover, they took it out without any hesitation?
So, she finally understood what Ye Anning was daydreaming about.
Why do your eyes light up when you talk about it?
After Ye Anning finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time before Shan Wangshu let out a long sigh.
"Anning, if it were you, would you take it out?"
Ye Anning paused for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know!"
Yes, Shan Wangshu didn't know either.
Even the fleeting thought, the moment of subconscious hesitation, is the answer.
Because such a thing cannot be measured by monetary value, nor is it related to whether it was for imperial use or not. Furthermore, it has absolutely nothing to do with being a rare treasure, one of only three in the world, or something that current science and technology cannot fully comprehend.
Anyone with a little knowledge knows why Angong Niuhuang Wan is so expensive: it's because its main ingredient is rhinoceros horn.
If you know a little more about pharmacology, you'll know that the reason this medicine can prolong life and needs to be taken with rice wine is because of the flavonoids in it.
A cup of medicinal wine with a flavonoid concentration seventeen times higher has an efficacy dozens of times that of a single pill…
The more she thought about it, the more unsettled she became. Dan Wangshu sighed and asked, "Wang Qizhi, if it were you, would you take out that cup?"
Wang Qizhi paused for a moment, then sighed without saying a word.
Do not assume he is sighing, because he is doing the same thing.
Why is Lin Sicheng different?
Of course, you could say that Lin Sicheng was smart and had great self-control, knowing what the consequences would be if he kept this stuff.
But didn't she, Ye Anning, and Wang Qizhi understand the nature of this thing? Did they lack willpower?
If all three of them are like this, what about ordinary people?
She thought for a moment: "An Ning, what are Lin Sicheng's plans to do?"
He said it might be in collaboration with the Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Research, or with the Jiaotong University School of Traditional Chinese Medicine...
Shan Wangshu's eyes grew brighter and brighter: "Wang Qizhi, don't you think Lin Sicheng is a bit silly?"
Wang Qizhi scoffed, "What the hell is he stupid?"
The reason Wang Qizhi was in a daze was not, as Ye Anning thought, research.
But after leaving the office, he felt something was off: it was indeed remarkable that he was able to find it, but what was even more remarkable was that in just a few days, Lin Sicheng was able to figure out how to handle and arrange these things so clearly and perfectly.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue is that all his plans and arrangements remain on paper... no, on words.
Especially those four cupping jars and that cup: the medical research institution and the cultural relics department are separated by a great distance, and Lin Sicheng probably doesn't even know when those two items will be delivered.
On the other hand: if he really wanted to figure it out, why didn't he seek out institutions in Beijing, which would be more professional?
So, if Lin Sicheng is stupid, then everyone else will have to go back to the Stone Age and become primitive people.
Wang Qizhi sighed, "He's so cunning, he's practically glowing!"
"right!"
Dan Wangshu misunderstood, and nodded heavily, "He's glowing!"
