In the early morning in Beijing, everything is quiet.
The three hangars located deep inside the Capital Airport were brightly lit and very lively at this time.
Two of the hangars are filled with a large number of top-notch antiques and artworks just shipped from France, as well as many extremely precious historical documents.
It's just that these treasures are now packed in boxes of various sizes, and have not been taken out yet, so naturally no one can see them.
My sister-in-law is leading people to count these treasures, compare them one by one according to the list, and then go through the handover procedures to officially receive this batch of amazingly valuable treasures.
Several leaders from the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, as well as many experts and scholars from the Forbidden City, the National Museum, the National Library of China, and the National Museum of China, were standing not far away.
At this time, each of them was very excited and couldn't wait.
After my sister-in-law and others complete the receiving work, she will open these amazing large and small boxes and invite many experts and scholars on site to come forward to screen and appraise them.
After preliminary identification is completed in these two hangars, all these treasures will be packed again, then transported to the city and stored separately.
This will definitely consume a lot of time, at least seven or eight hours, and it will also consume a lot of everyone's energy.
Even so, everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and their energy was boundless.
In the third hangar at the far side, Liangzi and Dalin, who had returned home on two cargo planes, were having a great time with their families!
Because it is a special period, I came back from France where the situation is serious.
Liangzi and Dalin were all wearing full protective clothing and masks, wrapped very tightly, and were more than ten meters away from their respective families for safety!
Only when eating, they took off their masks and wolfed down the food.
Even in this situation, they and their families were very happy and smiling.
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away in Paris, Xiao Ran is participating in the ongoing reception work through remote video conferencing.
While making the video, he also kept introducing the situation to his sister-in-law and the others and guiding their work.
The counting and receiving work alone lasted more than half an hour.
After confirming that the number of boxes was correct and matching the list, my sister-in-law went through the receiving procedures.
Of course, this is just a procedure.
The moment the acceptance procedures were completed, Shan Lao couldn't wait to appear on the video screen and excitedly said to the camera:
"Xiao Ran, can we open these boxes containing antique artworks now? Take a good look at the treasures in these boxes."
Immediately afterwards, Director Wang of the National Museum continued:
"You have to open it and take a closer look. After all, it was brought back by air. It was in the air for more than ten hours, and it took off and landed once."
"In case of accidental damage, it is best to deal with it in time to avoid causing greater losses."
The other leaders, experts and scholars were also impatient and echoed one after another.
Xiao Ran looked at them, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course, no problem. You can open these boxes now and check out the treasures inside."
"When unpacking and inspecting goods, everyone must be careful and take precautions to avoid unexpected things."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Shan and the others nodded in unison.
"I understand, Xiao Ran, we will pay attention to safety, you don't have to worry"
Next, everyone began to discuss which boxes to open first.
After only a few words of discussion, everyone has reached a consensus.
Everyone unanimously decided to take the first look at those Pelliot and Dunhuang scriptures.
In terms of historical and cultural research value alone, this batch of Pelliot and Dunhuang scriptures is undoubtedly the most precious, and every page is a priceless treasure.
Among the entire Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, this part of the Buddhist scriptures is also the most essential.
When they were stored in the National Library of France, Chinese experts and scholars could not see these treasures at all.
Occasionally, I can read a few pages, and I have to look at the French guy’s face, not to mention how depressed he is.
Now that these priceless treasures have been shipped back to China and belong to their own people, everyone naturally wants to enjoy them as soon as possible.
Under Xiao Ran's guidance, Shan Lao and the others quickly found the boxes containing Pelliot and the Dunhuang Scriptures.
Immediately afterwards, my sister-in-law stepped forward to enter the password and opened the box at the front.
The next moment, many experts and scholars immediately rushed up and looked inside the box.
What appeared next was the priceless Pelliot and Dunhuang scriptures.
The moment they saw these priceless treasures, the crowd immediately burst into excited admiration.
"Yes, it is indeed Pelliot and the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. I have studied the Dunhuang scriptures for most of my life, and it is only now that I have seen the most essential parts of the scriptures. How wonderful!"
"It's been more than a hundred years! We Chinese can finally see the best part of the Dunhuang Sutra. For this reason, today's hard work is worth it."
While he was talking, a rare ancient book expert from Guotu carefully took out the top scroll and examined it with gleaming eyes.
The other top appraisal experts also looked at this scroll.
In a matter of seconds, the identification results were released.
"Xiao Ran, there is nothing wrong with this Diamond Sutra. It is indeed from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. It is one of the essences of the Dunhuang Sutra."
"Judging from the text on the scroll, it was written in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, in the early years of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty. It is an extremely precious historical document."
The old man from Guitu said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.
Listening to this appraisal conclusion, Xiao Ran's eyes were full of pride.
He knows better than anyone the authenticity of these antique artworks and historical documents.
…
In the blink of an eye, it's a new day.
nine in the morning.
Xiao Ran and the others were sitting on the sofa in the living room of the suite, drinking tea and chatting.
The most important things have been done, they are all very relaxed at this time, and there is constant laughter and laughter.
At this moment, Anthony knocked on the door and walked into the suite to report the situation.
"Sean, many buyers from all over the world who participated in the morning auction have arrived at the Musée d'Orsay and are waiting to enter."
"The staff of the Chinese Embassy and the escort convoy have also rushed to the art museum and are ready to escort the stone sculptures and antique cultural relics away at any time."
After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran nodded slightly.
Then he stood up from the sofa, smiled and said:
"Let's go to the Musée d'Orsay and auction off the remaining antique artworks and gold and silver treasures. The remaining items from the auction can be sent to Los Angeles for processing slowly."
"After today's auction, let's have a good rest for two days, and then we can start the next exploration operation."
Before he finished speaking, Elaine and David both stood up.
Afterwards, everyone took the things, bags and other items that had been prepared long ago and left the presidential suite together.
After a while, Xiao Ran and the others had already gone down to the hotel lobby.
Under the escort of Anthony and the others, they walked out of the hotel door talking and laughing.
At this time, the hotel gate was heavily guarded and completely under the control of Anthony and the others.
Even so, during the march, Xiao Ran quickly took a look at the situation outside.
After making sure there was no problem, he took Elaine and the others out of the hotel door.
As soon as he went out, the media reporters gathered outside the hotel door immediately started asking questions at the top of their lungs.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from the "Italian Post" and I am very happy to interview you."
"The latest news is that Michelangelo's masterpiece "Hercules Slays the Nemean Lion" that was shipped to China appears in the National Museum of China. Can you tell us about the situation?"
A beautiful woman in her thirties asked loudly.
As this question was raised, Xiao Ran couldn't help but glance at the Italian woman.
