"Why is the treasure of your town hall so dirty?" Liang En said suddenly when the tour guide brought Liang En and the others to a glass cabinet in the middle of the treasure hall.
It's not that he was looking for something on purpose, but that the whole set of bishop's dress from the Habsburg dynasty era of the Kingdom of Bohemia under the Holy Roman Empire and the matching jewelry that are now placed in the glass cabinet are covered with a thick layer. Ash.
"It didn't seem to be so dirty before, but more than a month ago, the museum said that it was going to move some things out for exhibition. After moving, it became dirty." Looking at the bishop's suit with a layer of dust on it, the tour guide recalled After a while, he said.
"I remember that there was not much dust on this thing before, but this time there is so much dust, it may be because it fell from somewhere after moving things out last time."
"I see." Liang En nodded, then pointed to the dusty clothes and said. "But you should also clean it up, otherwise the patterns on it will be invisible."
"Actually, we also clean up, but because these cultural relics are relatively fragile, it takes at least half a year between two cleanups, and the next cleanup is estimated to be two months later." The tour guide also shrugged helplessly. .
"However, I heard that this museum will be sold to someone else soon, and whether it can continue to operate in the future is a big problem, so it is estimated that these things will not be cleaned up before the sale."
After the visit, several people took the bus back to the hotel where they lived before, and then Liang En and Mr. Scold met in the small bar attached to the hotel and discussed about the previous museum.
At this time, Liang En learned that the final price negotiated between Mr. Skold and the other side was 2250 million euros, which was used to purchase the house, land and cultural relics of the entire museum.
"Now I think the situation is a bit wrong." Scudder said to Liang En with a frown after introducing the details of these museum sales. "At this time, the other party should not have exhibited those cultural relics out of the museum."
"The cultural relics exhibited in the museum are only a small problem. The bigger problem is that at least 1/3 of the things have been replaced with fake ones, even including the set of bishop's robes that is the treasure of their town hall."
When Mr. Scudder finished talking about everything he knew and looked at Liang En, Liang En realized that he had to say something at this time to reflect the effect of the other party spending [-] euros.
"Especially the layer of ash on the bishop's robe is not natural. Judging from my many archaeological experiences, that layer of ash is more like being deliberately sprinkled on the bishop's robe."
"Ashes that were sprinkled on purpose—" Mr. Scudder frowned deeper, and then looked at Liang En who was sitting opposite. "Aside from ash, what else did you find?"
"There's something wrong with the gold embroidery on that robe." Liang En said as he took out his phone and called up the photo. "All the gold embroidery on this gown at the Bishop's class is real gold leaf wrapped in gold thread on the fabric."
"We know that in the natural environment, gold basically does not oxidize, but the gold on the robes we saw before looked a little dull. Although the dull color looks historic, it shouldn't be like this. "
"There are indeed some problems." After hearing Liang En's words, Mr. Scudder subconsciously nodded, "As for other things, is there any evidence to prove that there are problems?"
So in the next half an hour, Liang En used the pictures collected on the Internet to popularize Skold in front of him. After comparing a series of pictures, Skold generally agreed with his previous point of view.
"If you look at the situation in the previous contract, it's obviously not worth it now." After talking about a series of situations he discovered, Liang En remembered what his purpose for coming here was, so he said.
"If the original 2250 million euros to buy such a museum is considered a very good deal, it is obviously a loss now."
"According to my judgment, those cultural relics that were supposed to be real have depreciated by at least 500 million euros after being replaced with fake ones. Even considering the relatively low original quotation, it is more appropriate to ask for a price of around 1850 million euros in this situation."
"Thank you for your reminder, I understand." Mr. Scudder said after taking a deep breath, "I plan to find someone to inquire about the situation here in a while."
"You mean to say that there is something unusual in this transaction?" After returning to the room, after hearing what Liang En said he had discussed with Mr. Scold, Fan Meng scratched his hair and said arrive.
"Yes, the situation looks like this now." Liang En nodded. "At least the materials I read before said that those cultural relics are real, but the situation is obviously different from the previous materials."
"Although I also guessed before that there may be some fakes, but according to the results of my observations today, the museum obviously deliberately removed those cultural relics."
"In other words, this transaction is likely to be a pure fraud." Joan of Arc said after thinking about it. "Then why not stop trading and get out of here immediately?"
"I'm not sure about this. Mr. Scudder may have his own ideas about this." Liang En said helplessly spreading his hands, his face also looked a little ugly.
After all, he was not the one who paid this time.Therefore, he can only put forward his own suggestions in this regard, and it is not up to him to decide what to do.
Considering that there may be a wave of difficult tasks tomorrow, everyone went to bed early this night, and recharged their batteries to prepare for tomorrow's challenges.
After breakfast the next morning, Mr. Scudder told them that he planned to have a conversation with the other party today, and Liang En and the others could choose to stay in the hotel to rest or go with him.
After a brief consideration, Liang En decided to go with Mr. Scold. After all, their main task this time was to accompany the other party to complete the acquisition of the museum, so it would be better to go through the entire process.
So everyone was divided into two groups. Skold, two bodyguards and a lawyer were in a group, and Liang En and the others were in a group of three, and they each took a taxi to form a team to the pre-booked signing place.
Because this time the contract was signed at a manor on the outskirts of the city, Liang En and the others also took out the weapons they had prepared earlier from their luggage and took them with them.
I have to say that taking a private jet does have advantages in this regard. As long as you have a certificate, you can carry those weapons, unlike taking an airline flight that needs to be applied for a week in advance.
Although it is the capital of the Czech Republic, the city of Prague is not very large.So they quickly crossed the Vltava River, and then drove south of the city along the road beside the river.
At the beginning, there were dense buildings on both sides of the road, but as the road went south, the buildings became more and more sparse. After more than half an hour, they passed through the satellite city of Chernošice, and then followed the road into the mountains among.
