Qin Jiaye and his wife also rushed back to the Qin family compound. Their careers have been very good in the past few years, and they don't need to show off everywhere, so they are relaxed and fat, and both of them have gained weight.
"Xiao Mo, I know I have gained more than ten pounds recently, so there is no need for you to keep staring at me." Qin Jiaye touched his face a little depressed, "You gave us so much beef and mutton, don't we at home?" Braised in soy sauce is just like hot pot, it’s weird if it doesn’t grow meat.”
"Haha, the weather is so cold, eating mutton is very nourishing. Mainly because my friend gave too much, and Sirui and my mother didn't like the smell of mutton, so they could only give some to each house to try. If I like it, I There are so many friends, and they are all the freshest."
"I even threw up when I smelled it."
Qin Jiaye waved his hand. No matter how much he took, he would feel nauseated.
When lunch was approaching, Jia Siyuan returned to the Qin family compound with a depressed look.
"Siyuan, what's going on with that woman?"
Mr. Qin couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw him looking like he was beating an eggplant with frost. He couldn't bear this blow, and how promising he would be in the future.
"Grandpa, I don't want to mention her again."
Jia Siyuan sat down on the sofa, as if everything had lost its luster.
"The sooner you see that woman's face clearly, the less harm you will suffer. Okay, don't cry in despair, go wash up and get ready for lunch."
Jia Siyuan shook his head listlessly: "I'm not hungry at all and don't want to eat anything."
After lunch, Li Mo did not go to the investment conference, but went to Zhongnanhai, where the staff of the Chinese Embassy was already waiting for him.
Originally I thought it was a private meeting, but since the meeting address was chosen in Zhongnanhai, it meant there was an official element involved.
"Professor Li, please come this way." A man in his thirties greeted him at the door. "I am today's translator. Call me Yunhan. People from the Chinese Embassy have arrived. Let's go directly to the conference room."
"Mr. Yun works here?"
"Yes, working in the translation office."
Li Mo and Yun Han walked into the conference room and saw three foreigners sitting there chatting. When someone came in, they stood up quickly with a smile.
"Professor Li, this is Anjies, the person in charge today."
Li Mo shook hands with the foreigner who was in his early fifties, but he didn't expect that his Chinese was not bad: "Professor Li, I have long admired your name, I am glad to meet you!"
The remaining two foreigners spoke poor Chinese, but Li Mo felt a sharpness from them that was different from ordinary people, but they didn't look like diplomats either.
"Professor Li, there are two things in today's meeting. One is about your proposal to exchange national treasures. We hope to have in-depth communication. Second, we hope to cooperate with Professor Li to find and explore some treasures."
Did you hear that right? This group of people from Faguo actually asked me to cooperate in a treasure hunt. Where did this begin? He looked confused.
"Mr. Anjies, is the treasure you are talking about located in the Kingdom of Fa?"
"Of course, even if there are treasures in other countries, we don't dare to touch them."
After Anjies finished speaking, he laughed first, and Li Mo had no choice but to laugh with him. It seemed that this was the main purpose of their meeting with him today.
"Professor Li, you gave us a list of artworks before, and we also want to exchange them with you. But if you are willing to cooperate with us, the two gilt bells from the Old Summer Palace in the Qing Dynasty can be given directly to us as our sincerity. you."
"Mr. Anjies, even if I am willing to cooperate now, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my promise after getting the gilded bell of the Old Summer Palace? Or that I will not work hard in the future?"
"We have learned about Professor Li in detail. If even a well-known Chinese professor like you can break his trust, then I think you are not the only one who will be humiliated. Professor Li, do you think this is the case?"
Are all diplomats so eloquent?
"Mr. Anjies, I still hope to reach an exchange condition with you."
Anjies shrugged: "Professor Li, as long as you can help us find the treasure and find as many antiques from the treasure house, we can exchange them for your Chinese antiques from our museum at a ratio of three to one."
Li Mo's eyes lit up, this condition really made him excited. The treasure that can make their country excited is definitely not an ordinary treasure.
"Professor Li, as long as you agree, we will bear all the food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"Do you think I can help you find those treasures?"
"At least the probability of success will be high. You are the best treasure hunter in the world, so we hope to cooperate with you."
Li Mo did not agree immediately, but asked: "When will the two gilt bells of the Old Summer Palace return to China at the earliest?"
"As long as you are willing to cooperate with us today, you can touch the gilt chimes with your own hands tomorrow. I also know that you still have fourteen pieces in your hand. If you get those two pieces, the Yuanmingyuan gilt chimes will form a complete set, and you can play them again. Xiangzhong and Shao music."
Li Mo still admired this Huaxiatong, and he actually knew about 'Zhonghe Shaole'.
"Can you tell me about the treasure information?"
A smile appeared on Anjies' face. It seemed that Li Mo was moved. He whispered a few words to the person next to him, and saw the person take out a thick document from his briefcase.
"Professor Li, Mr. Das said that this document contains an introduction to the treasure. You can learn about it first."
Yun Han quickly translated simultaneously.
This document has been translated, so Li Mo can read it without any difficulty.
"Treasure of the Knights Templar!"
Li Mo didn't know much about European history, but he had heard of the Knights Templar. He continued to flip through the information to learn more about this knighthood.
The Knights Templar, also known as the Knights of the Temple, was a Catholic military organization in the Middle Ages and one of the three famous knights. Most of the members are French, known as the Templars, and are characterized by their white robes with red crosses on them.
There were initially nine members of the Knights Templar. Later, they were officially supported by the Holy See and had many privileges. They rapidly increased their size, power and wealth, and even developed the earliest banking industry.
At the beginning of the 14th century in Europe, many of its members were arrested in France, brutally interrogated and burned at the stake for heresy. Later, the authorities announced the disbandment of the Knights Templar.
This is the approximate history of the Knights Templar in Europe. The reason why it is so famous is that it is said that the Knights gathered unimaginable wealth before disbanding, but very few of them have been found.
Therefore, European historians believe that the shocking wealth was buried in an extremely secret place by the Knights. To their regret, people have been looking for it for countless years, but no one has found it.
Until now, there are relatively well-known treasure hunting organizations in Europe that have not given up on the treasure of the Knights Templar and are still looking for it.
It took Li Mo more than ten minutes to read the information. The Faguo embassy only provided simple information and no more detailed information. They were putting out bait.
"Professor Li, what do you think of this Templar treasure?"
Li Mo knew that if he wanted to get more information, he could only cooperate with them.
"Mr. Anjies, I would like to take the liberty to ask, if the treasure I found is not the treasure of the Knights Templar, what should I do with it?"
Anjiesi was stunned for a moment, then whispered a few words to the people around him, and replied: "Professor Li, we cannot give you a clear answer to this question at the moment."
“If we enter into a partnership, how will it be done?”
"We have made it clear just by sitting here. Our official will officially issue an invitation, and then you will go to China in the name of the official representative of China. Of course, in order to maintain confidentiality, we are conducting friendly exchanges and communications on the theme of bilateral free trade."
"If a cooperation is reached, when will you hope to start it at the earliest?"
"The sooner the better."
"I need to think about it, and I can give you a clear answer tomorrow at the latest."
Li Mo originally planned to stay in Kyoto for half a year, but if he agreed to cooperate, he would have to change his plan. But if they don't agree, it is estimated that the two gilt bells from the Old Summer Palace will not return to China.
"Yes, we sincerely welcome Professor Li to visit Faguo. I believe we will become very good friends."
