Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 546
Chapter 546
Around half past ten in the morning.
Xiao Ran led people to the chapel, ready to check the progress of the exploration clean-up operation.
His art deal with the Museum of Art in Boston has just been completed.
The top Chinese antique artworks he exchanged had all been deposited in the bank vault.
Matthew and the others, who got Rubens’ oil painting, took Xiao Ran’s medium-sized helicopter and flew directly back to the Boston Museum of Art.
The motorcade stopped at the gate of the church, and as soon as they got out of the car, they immediately caused a sensation at the scene.
The media reporters and onlookers gathered outside the police cordon, where would they miss this opportunity, began to ask questions loudly at the top of their throats.
“Good morning, Sean, I’m a reporter for Boston Public Television
” “Is it true that you are said to have withdrawn from the follow-up exploration and cleanup of this colonial treasure?”
“Can you explain why?” Are you under pressure from the outside? Who is pressuring you?
A beautiful reporter in her thirties asked loudly.
Before the words fell, another male reporter immediately asked:
“Good morning, Sean, I am a reporter for the Washington Post, it is a pleasure to interview you
” “As far as I know, the birth of this treasure has caused a huge sensation in North American Indian society
” “Some Indian tribes from the Algonchin people, as well as tribal leaders such as the Navajo and Sioux, have spoken out that this treasure should be returned to the Indians”
“What do you think of the statements of these Indian tribes? Will you return this treasure to the tribes of the North American Indians? As
this guy asked questions, the scene immediately resounded with exclamations.
This question is so sharp and direct to the heart that it is bound to be difficult to answer!
Morally, all white Americans owe something to North American Indians, or feel guilty.
Of course, non-whites don’t have this sense of moral guilt.
It was white colonists who slaughtered North American Indians in the first place, and they had nothing to do with other ethnic groups, so naturally there was no need to feel guilty.
In the eyes of some whites, especially the white leftists and intellectuals, they believed that the Indians should be properly compensated to alleviate their own sins.
However, this is a false benevolence and false meaning without touching one’s own interests, and it is just a high-profile gesture displayed in front of the public.
When self-interest is involved, that’s a different story.
Hearing these questions, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but pause.
After a little hesitation, he smiled and said:
“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, media reporters, it is a pleasure to see you here, and thank you for your attention
” “Here, I can answer a few questions that everyone is concerned about, in order to solve the doubts in everyone’s hearts, first of all, I personally did withdraw from the follow-up exploration and cleaning of this treasure
” “However, my employees did not withdraw, Still continuing to explore and clean up this treasure, I believe it won’t be long before the preliminary clean-up work will be completed
” “The reason why I personally quit is not because of any pressure, but because the situation of this treasure is relatively simple, and I am not a historian, so there is no need to delve into something”
Hearing his explanation, everyone at the scene nodded and understood a little.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran suddenly changed his tone.
“Let’s talk about the ownership
of this treasure, this treasure belongs to our company, there is no doubt about this, there is no legal doubt” “More than two hundred years ago, the Massachusetts people who hid this treasure were long ago exterminated by the British colonists and disappeared into the long river of history
” “Other tribes also from the Algonchin people have nothing to do with this treasure, and they basically live in Canada, It doesn’t even matter
” “As for the Navajo and Sioux Indian tribes living in the Midwest of the United States, the same is
true, and this treasure is not worth beating” “I am deeply sympathetic to the tragic plight of North American Indians, including the Massachusetts, but I will never cede the ownership of this treasure to anyone else
” “One thing can tell you is that almost everything from this treasure will be disposed of in Boston on the spot, will stay in the United States, which is also a kind of protection!
After that, he waved at the crowd of onlookers and media reporters, and then led Elaine and them towards the church gate.
Those onlookers and journalists reacted differently.
Some of them nodded frequently, thinking that what Xiao Ran said was reasonable.
Some people kept shaking their heads, obviously disagreeing with his statement.
Some of these media reporters kept asking questions loudly.
Xiao Ran ignored them and walked straight into the Gothic chapel in front of him.
Inside the church, the exploratory clean-up continues.
Although it was the day after the treasure was discovered, the church was not less, but more people.
After election day, many groups and people who were closely watching the election finally freed their hands and devoted more attention to this amazing treasure.
Some of these groups and individuals even sent representatives to come here to watch this exploration on the spot.
When they entered the church, they saw several unfamiliar faces at a glance.
When he saw each other, the guys were also looking at him, and everyone’s eyes were full of curiosity.
Of course, those guys’ eyes are also full of envy and jealousy, which cannot be concealed at all.
Xiao Ran nodded and said hello to everyone at the scene, and then walked towards the large-screen TV standing in the center of the church.
At this time, Professor Baker and Professor Adrian were gathered in front of the big screen TV, discussing something feverishly, and they were very excited.
It can be seen that there should be new and important discoveries in the underground cracks.
That’s why these guys were so excited that they didn’t notice Xiao Ran’s arrival.
It wasn’t until Xiao Ran brought Elaine and them closer that Professor Baker reacted.
After greeting each other, Professor Baker immediately pointed to a strangely shaped Indian gold statue on the TV screen and said:
“Sean, look at this golden statue, does it look like the face mark that appeared on the treasure map?”
“The face mark on the treasure map, at first I always thought it was a stone statue or mural, who would have thought it was a
golden statue” “This golden statue was found by the exploration team members when cleaning a cave, and it was placed in the cave, and the location was very dangerous”
Following the direction of his finger, Xiao Ran saw the golden statue of the face on the TV screen at a glance.
It is said to be a gold statue, but this face statue is more like a stone statue.
Its shape is very exaggerated, the face is boxy, the eyes and mouth, as well as the ears, are square and disproportionate.
In each of the eyes of the statue, there is an inward spiral curve, which is constantly rotating inward.
The center of the two eyes is like two bottomless abysses, which make people dare not look directly, full of strange colors.
The nose of this statue is an eagle nose that protrudes long forward, and it has an inverted hook.
In addition, on this golden statue, there are many mysterious ornaments and patterns, but no one knows what it means.
Xiao Ran quickly glanced at the golden statue, and then nodded with a smile.
“That’s right, this is the portrait of the face on the treasure map, I didn’t expect that this is actually a
golden statue” “Professor Baker, judging by your performance, have you made any new discoveries about this golden statue?”
Before the words fell, Professor Baker nodded hurriedly and said:
“Indeed, Sean, we do have quite an amazing discovery
on this golden statue” “By studying the ornamental pattern on this gold statue, we can basically determine that this is a
statue of the sun god” “This sun god statue is somewhat close to the image of the Aztec sun god, but it is very different from the image of the sun god of the Maya and Incas”
“From this point, it can be seen that although
the Massachusetts live in the cold north, they still have some contact with the Aztecs” “The Indian belief in the sun god has also affected the Indian tribes in the cold region, and they have also formed the belief in the sun god
” “Combined with some other antique artifacts and murals found in this underground crack, it is basically certain that the Massachusetts are forming a complete god system ,……”
With his introduction, Professor Adrian and the others lit up with excitement.
An Indian tribe that formed a complete Protoss system already had one of the foundations for forming civilization.
What this means, naturally, goes without saying.
In the field of historical archaeology, this is definitely a shocking discovery.
But in Xiao Ran’s eyes, it is not so important.
Of course, this is also a good thing, at least it can greatly increase the value of those Indian antiques and gold and silver treasures.
When Professor Baker finished his introduction, Xiao Ran pondered for a while, and then shook his head helplessly.
“It is a pity that the civilization process of the Massachusetts people was interrupted by the Western colonists, and it has since disappeared
” “Otherwise, there may really be a fourth Indian civilization in the Americas, but now all this has come to naught”
Hearing this, Professor Baker and they all paused, somewhat gloomy.
Immediately afterwards, they nodded in unison.
“Yes, the formation of a civilization was interrupted by life like this, what a pity!”
After a few sighs, Professor Baker began to introduce some other findings.
The representatives of all parties who had just arrived here today took the time to come up and get to know Xiao Ran.
Without exception, those guys came for this amazing treasure and wanted a piece of it!
It is a pity that they miscalculated and found the wrong target to hit the autumn wind.
Here in Xiao Ran, they did not get any affirmative answer, nor did they take half a penny.
In desperation, the guys could only step aside and call their respective bosses to report the situation.
In the blink of an eye, nearly an hour has passed.
After understanding the situation here, Xiao Ran was ready to take people to leave and visit a museum in the city.
At this moment, Sam suddenly walked over, and then said in a low voice:
“Sean, the situation outside is a little wrong, I am arranging for someone to investigate, you will go out later”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran’s eyes immediately flashed a playful smile.
At the same time, he also looked up outside the church gate.
