Chapter 1096: Spending 7 million is worth it

Because this cultural relic return activity was related to many important high-level units of the two countries and had special significance, Holly stayed in Moscow for another week.

Business matters are handled through video conferencing and email.

When I have free time, I go watch the competitions of Chinese athletes.

Putin handed the event over to his daughter Maria to coordinate, and Holly, as the cultural exchange ambassador of the two countries, worked closely with her.

The two of them have a very similar way of doing things.

A high level of tacit understanding was developed during the docking and communication.

The emotions became stronger.

Holly also jokingly asked Maria, what would it be like to have her be a Chinese daughter-in-law?
Maria smiled slightly and did not answer, but she did not refuse either.

It’s just that because of their different identities and responsibilities, it’s impossible to give an accurate answer.

They both know it clearly and understand each other.

But that didn't stop Maria from finding various excuses to go to Jiangcheng in person to deliver the suit to Holly.

Some things, as long as her father doesn't know and the outside world doesn't know, they'll just be done.

Maria was mentally prepared.

Just like she answered Holly when she was drunk last time, maybe one day she would become irrational and let Holly get what he wanted.

She allowed that to happen in her heart.

……

A few days before the event, authoritative media from both countries released promotional copy for the event and a live broadcast preview.

When domestic netizens saw the live broadcast preview, they were immediately excited.

"The East Palace actually returned the cultural relics!"

"Oh my god, what was returned was the two-headed Buddha from the Western Xia Dynasty and the clay sculptures of guardian beasts from the Tang Dynasty at the Mogao Grottoes. They are definitely national treasures."

"When was the "Journey of Manjusri Bodhisattva" returned?"

"I saw these two cultural relics in the East Palace, and I wondered when they would be able to return to the motherland."

"It is said that Mr. Huo spent 1 billion US dollars in sponsorship fees to buy it."

"One billion US dollars! Seven or eight billion RMB!"

"This is the second time that Mr. Huo has escorted a national treasure back to China. He is really doing his best for cultural promotion and cultural relics protection."

"I think the country should award President Huo the Medal of the Republic for his great merits."

"I agree. What Mr. Huo has done is great."

"..."

On the morning of the return ceremony, many international media outlets were waiting at the entrance of the Moscow Museum.

Under the attention of hundreds of millions of netizens from major media outlets, the presidential motorcade arrived at the entrance of the Moscow Museum.

Putin got out of the car and met Holly who had arrived earlier.

The two smiled and shook hands.

Several senior officials followed suit.

Holly followed Putin into the Moscow Museum.

After the experts gave a detailed introduction, Putin personally handed the two artifacts to Holly.

Cultural relics experts from the country properly sealed the items on site and sent them to the special plane that was to transport the national treasures.

As an ambassador of cultural exchange between the two countries and guardian of national treasures, Holly spoke in front of the media cameras on the scene.

Although today's occasion was too formal, he was still able to handle it easily.

It's nothing more than some watertight talk.

Use words like "mutual respect", "friendship", "cultural exchange", etc. and speak in the tone of a diplomatic ambassador.

There was warm applause.

After the interview and handover ceremony, Putin and several officials escorted Holly out.

After Holly got in the car, he smiled and waved goodbye.

Hawley and the delegation went directly to the airport.

On the domestic side, Beijing International Airport has already made preparations for the reception.

It takes about ten hours to fly from Moscow to Beijing.

During this period, multiple platforms across the Internet were broadcasting live the "Welcome Back the National Treasure" column program.

We invited experts from various fields to analyze the significance and impact of Russia's return of cultural relics from different angles.

Social scientist: “From Russia’s proposal to return the cultural relics to Putin’s personal handover today, this reveals an important social phenomenon, the integration of the two countries’ cultures.

The influence of Chinese culture on the Russian people is deepening..."

Cultural relic scholar: "The two-headed Buddha found in Heishui City of Western Xia is unique. Its return further proves the prosperity of Buddhist culture in ancient my country, and it has long been a..."

Famous politician: “This return of cultural relics, whether in terms of timing or the impact of the event, demonstrates our country’s comprehensive national strength to the world.

At the same time, it can be seen that the current world situation is very tense, and behind this... "Famous collector: "These two cultural relics are priceless treasures.

Holly is a collector who is famous both domestically and globally. He played an important role in the process of returning the cultural relics.

Made a huge contribution.

If it were anyone else, there wouldn’t be such a good result today.”

Internet celebrity commentator: "The news that the famous entrepreneur Mr. Holly welcomed back the national treasure has spread all over the country. According to statistics, nearly 500 million people are paying attention to this matter so far."

CCTV reporter: "Good evening to all the viewers who are watching the live broadcast in front of the screen. This is CCTV's special live broadcast program: Welcoming the Return of the National Treasures.

The news we have received now is that the special plane will land at Beijing International Airport in half an hour.

Let us wait for this exciting moment together."

At 5:30 pm, the special plane landed at the airport.

Holly and the delegation got off the plane, shook hands with the comrades from the National Museum, and handed over their work.

Next, the National Museum’s cultural relics protection team will send the two cultural relics to the museum for collection.

Holly got on the TV station's car and went to the station to participate in the next live broadcast event.

CCTV host: “Hello, Mr. Huo.

More than 500 million netizens have been waiting for you online for a long time. "

"So many?" Holly smiled and politely greeted the host and experts.

"Okay, Mr. Huo has arrived at the site of our special column. In addition, our director has also cut in the footage from the National Museum. Everyone can listen to Mr. Huo's story about the protection of cultural relics while witnessing the return of national treasures that have been lost abroad for a hundred years."

Host: "Mr. Huo, thank you for your hard work."

Fingers crossed for Holly.

"Boss Huo, this is the second time you have escorted a national treasure back home. How do you feel this time compared to the last time?"

Holly said: “The feeling is very different.

The first time, I felt a little alone.

It feels like one person is charging in the front, and winning or losing depends on luck."

Host: "I'm not sure."

Holly nodded: “I am facing famous collectors and wealthy people from all over the world.

Everyone knows the rules of the auction house, they are very rough, and the highest bidder wins!

If you want to buy it, you have to pay a higher price than others.

At that time, I was really ready to empty my family's savings. No matter what, the cultural relics that belong to China must return to China."

Expert: “No matter how much it costs?”

Holly: "As long as I can get it, I will.

This time it is much safer and there is no need to worry. The powerful motherland will protect you.

Your mission is to take back what belongs to us.

The two sides' top leaders have already communicated well.

I am more of a waiter.”

Host: "We all know that Mr. Huo is also a famous collector. Since the audience in the live broadcast room are all paying attention to the value of these two cultural relics, can you introduce the value of the two national treasures to everyone from the perspective of a collector?"

Hawley: “Both are priceless, without a doubt, for that rich history.

If you have to use the auction house's pricing method to calculate, I can only say that the other party decided to return it because of my sponsorship of one billion US dollars.

These ten billion are definitely worth it.

Or even higher.”

"Fuck, it's so valuable."

"The Buddha head and Buddha statue itself are very valuable."

"This kind of thing can no longer be measured by money. Mr. Huo quantified it because he was afraid you wouldn't understand."

"It's a simple truth. Scarcity makes things valuable. This is the only double-headed Buddha statue in the world. It's also a thousand-year-old thing. Just think about how valuable it is."

"It's more valuable than the original Tang Bohu painting hidden in the United States."

"I still can't believe that Russia could give it back."

"There's no way. Maozi is having a hard time right now."

"..."

The host kindly reminded: “Protecting cultural relics is everyone’s responsibility.

Mr. Huo has just explained its value to everyone in the most intuitive way.

Here is a little knowledge for everyone. In our country, cultural relics and antiques before the Ming and Qing dynasties are not allowed to be traded. "
