Qin Yali has been drinking tea in silence. The three representatives of the Luo City official have not been able to gain the upper hand. If they continue to communicate like this, they will be very passive. I have already reminded them that they have to come up with their own attitude to talk. If they put forward their conditions when they come up, then the next step will definitely be to bargain based on those conditions.
They insisted on testing Li Mo's attitude first, but in the end they forced themselves into a corner and felt uncomfortable.
"Professor Li, Mr. Wang and the others already have a plan. When I meet you today, I mainly want you to understand it and see if it can satisfy both parties."
Qin Yali had no choice but to remain silent at this time, lest the three people in charge in Luo City would be too embarrassed and make everyone unable to get off the stage.
"Yes, yes, Si Qin is right." Ms. Jiang, the person in charge of the Luocheng Cultural Security Bureau, nodded repeatedly. She has the lowest position, so it is most appropriate for her to answer the question at this time.
Li Mo poured tea for each of the four of them, with a very interested expression on his face: "Ms. Jiang, please speak."
"Professor Li, it's like this. We have officially listed the following points after discussion. First, the public security management of Liangshe Village is unified by the Luocheng City Bureau to mobilize police forces, and there will never be any mistakes. After all, the soldiers in the army are not If you are familiar with local affairs, there will definitely be obstacles in communication with local villagers. If the local police force communicates, many things will be very easy to solve."
Li Mo nodded and acknowledged this: "It's okay for those soldiers to be stationed for a short time, but it's really not appropriate for a long time. But soldiers also have the advantages of being a soldier. They enforce orders and prohibitions, are upright, and will never take away a stitch from the villagers."
The three officials almost spit out a mouthful of tea. These words seemed to make the local police officers stretch their hands very far.
"Just follow what Ms. Jiang said and change the guard early tomorrow morning."
Li Mo followed up with another sentence.
The person in charge of the Cultural Preservation Bureau cleared his throat before continuing: "Second, the archeology of Zhou Tianzi's tomb is still dominated by a team of experts, supplemented by our local archaeologists in Luocheng, and we are fully responsible for the logistics support."
"This is good."
"As for the compensation issue, whatever compensation Professor Li gives, we will still give you a one-time replacement for the money you paid before."
Li Mo nodded. Since you want to participate, all the expenses will naturally be borne by your place. It is impossible for him to be taken advantage of again.
"As for the ownership of the cultural relics unearthed in the Tomb of Emperor Zhou, Professor Li is undoubtedly the first to contribute. However, as you are a top expert in this field, you naturally understand the significance of the Tomb of Emperor Zhou. We at the local level also very much hope to build it locally. A museum of Emperor Zhou and then developing the tombs into tourist attractions can drive the economic development of a place and increase the annual income of local villagers. On this last point, we have the same idea as Professor Li."
Li Mo continued to nod.
"We have also learned about the scale of the Yanjiao Museum under the name of Professor Li. So far, there is still a lack of a bronze-themed cultural museum in the Yanjiao area. In terms of its influence, the bronzes unearthed from the tomb of Emperor Zhou are naturally more suitable. So. We discussed and studied it and made a suggestion. After the tomb of Emperor Zhou is excavated, we will build a themed museum each in Luocheng and Yanjiao. Professor Li, what do you think?"
Li Mo drank tea silently, and no one else spoke, waiting for his answer.
"To be honest with you, I attach great importance to the bronze theme museum that is about to be built. There should be a lot of bronzes unearthed from the tomb of Emperor Zhou, but it is not enough to support the construction of two museums at the same time."
The second person in charge of Los Angeles City asked with a smile: "I wonder if Professor Li has any better solution?"
Li Mo put down his tea cup and said: "There is no good solution, I just have a new idea. The tomb robber's treasure room also contains thirty or forty bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. When the time comes, I will apply to my superiors to transfer those The bronzes are enriched into a bronze-themed museum."
Mentioning the secret room where the tomb robbers hid treasures, the three leaders of Luo City looked ugly. It was just rubbing salt on their wounds.
"Professor Li, could you please help me deal with the remaining antique cultural relics and return them to the Los Angeles authorities after the epidemic is over? We will all be grateful."
This attitude is already very low, almost saying, "Everything will be rewarded after it is accomplished."
Li Mo did not answer immediately, but hesitated before saying: "I have to find a perfect excuse to deal with it."
What excuse do you want? Whether it can be returned to Luo City is not a matter of your words.
"Do you think this will work? I'll wander around Luo City a little more, and then I'll try to find other clues related to historical sites."
"Does Professor Li have any clues?" Ms. Jiang from the Cultural Protection Bureau asked in surprise.
"Luo City was the capital of thirteen dynasties. There are countless historical legends circulated here. Some legends may seem unreliable, but in fact no one paid close attention to research. In addition, the information is relatively fragmented and cannot be pieced together into useful information. Naturally, You can’t find the news you want from it.”
"If you really make any major discovery, our Los Angeles officials will fully support you, and no matter what treasure you find, we at the local level will never interfere."
This time, the second person in charge of Los Angeles City made the guarantee very readily.
Maybe he thought that even if there was any discovery, it would still be comparable to the tomb of Emperor Zhou?
"I really didn't expect Mr. Wang to be so supportive of my idea. Since you are happy, then I should be happy too. The treasure hidden in the secret room over the old street has not yet been transported to Kyoto. I will contact my superiors now, hoping they will agree to take it. All cultural relics and antiques except for bronzes will be handled by Luo City officials. After all, with thirty or forty bronzes as ironclad evidence, it is enough to convict those tomb robbers."
Only then did the three officials from Luo City show signs of surprise. Unexpectedly, there would be an unexpected surprise in this communication. They became heroes after returning.
Li Mo walked aside to make a phone call.
"Si Qin, thank you for reminding us this time, otherwise we wouldn't have such a good result."
Qin Yali smiled and said: "Professor Li is not a narrow-minded person. There must be a reason why he is valued by many big bosses. Even though I am the director of the Department of Cultural Affairs, in terms of strength, he can make someone with just one sentence." I'm going home to retire. I heard that the first person in charge of Yanjiao in Kyoto came from your Luo city. In fact, if Professor Li didn't acquiesce, there would be no chance for him to advance further."
Naturally, the three officials from Luo City would not think that Qin Yali was being alarmist. Only at this time did they truly realize how strong Li Mo's background was in Kyoto, and just thinking about it made their scalp numb.
Because Yanjiao in Kyoto is a national-level development zone, the first person in charge there is at the same level as the first person in charge in Luocheng. However, with the rapid development of Yanjiao, the person in charge of Yanjiao has greater development potential in the future.
A person with such a status actually needs Li Mo's approval and support if he wants to secure his position. People who don't know the inside story may think it's a fantasy. In fact, Li Mo is more terrifying than imagined.
A few minutes later, Li Mo returned with a smile on his face, raised his glass and said, "It's done, your Luo City officials will still take over the treasure room tomorrow, but the bronzes inside will be immediately moved to Kyoto."
"Without Professor Li's support, there would not be such a best-of-both-worlds result. Let's drink tea instead of wine."
