" How is this possible? How is this possible…" Old Wang said in a daze.
Although he didn't understand English, he knew what the declaration of independence was. He also knew that it couldn't possibly be here!
However, there was no such thing as an error in judgment when they appraised the items together.
Even if he didn't believe it, he had to believe it now.
Old Wang asked curiously as he looked at the indifferent expression on the chair, as if he had long known that this thing was real.
"Xuan, did you know this was real when you brought it back?”
"How are you so sure?"
He was very curious. Anyone who came across this thing would also think that it was an imitation, right?
The others reacted and looked at Xuan.
Xuan said calmly."When I met it, it was hidden in a painting. Normally, no one would hide a fake thing so tightly.”
"I know a little about antiques. This piece of paper looks old.”
"And most importantly, that's why I think it's real.”Xuan smiled.
"Which part?" Xu Yin looked at Xuan with admiration.
They didn't expect Xuan to know how to appraise antiques. Although his appraisal method wasn't as detailed as theirs, his control over the big picture was pretty good.
As long as one could determine the year of an antique, they would have a 70% chance of success. The rest would depend on whether it was authentic or an imitation from that era.
Moreover, the declaration of independence was a paper drawing, so it was the easiest to determine the year.
"The grandfather of the man I bought was Thomas Jefferson's secretary at the time.”Xuan smiled.
Actually, he didn't know much about antiques. Even though he had been strengthened by the system once, he was only half-baked. He really relied on the system.
However, this did not stop him from spouting nonsense. When nine of his words were true and one was false, it was the easiest time for others to believe him.
"Truly, heroes come from the young." Xu Yin sighed.
At first, he thought that it was just a rich person. After Xuan donated the snake head back to the country for free, he felt that Xuan was a very patriotic person. Now, Xuan actually found another great treasure not long after. It seemed that he didn't spend much money.
If it was possible, he would have wanted to bring his son back to the furnace and rebuild him…
Zuo Bingzhen didn't say anything. After the old men calmed down, she asked a very important question.
"Can this thing be taken out for exhibition?”
"Yes, I am!" Everyone was shocked. If this thing appeared in the Dragon Country, who knew what trouble it would cause.
Once it was revealed, it would be a blatant slap to America's face. You see, the thing you put in the archives is fake. It's really with me. You didn't expect it, did you?
"What are you afraid of!"
Xu Yin slammed the table and said domineeringly.
"What are you afraid of? Things are different now. What can he do to us? He could even come over to snatch it? They had snatched so many things back then, but they had never returned them to anyone.”
"Yes, their national museum is full of foreign cultural relics…"
Everyone said in unison. Xuan suggested.
"If the outside world asks, just say that when I spent 80 million to bid for the snake head in America, those people felt bad and gave me an ancient painting. The declaration of independence was hidden in the cracks of the painting.”
"Damn it! I didn't expect this, Xuan." Xu Yin slammed the table hard and said excitedly,"You're still the ruthless one!"
"Why didn't I think of that?"
"Back then, they cheated me of 80 million yuan to get the snake head. How could I let them go?”Xuan said coldly.
From the moment he decided to announce it, he had already planned to push the origin of the declaration of independence to the group of people in the Antiques Association, and they would not be able to wash it off.
If someone asked him, Xuan could say that it was because he had spent too much money back then, and that the man with the golden glasses he had cheated in the stock market had given it to him.
Some people might even think that Xuan had spent 80 million to buy the snake head at a premium several times higher than what he had expected. The real reason for spending so much money was to buy the declaration of independence and then bring it back to the country with the cooperation of the Antique Association.
"It's decided. In a while, a few of us old men will go to the Cultural Relics Bureau overnight to report to the leader. Three days later, he will be the top star of the China exhibition.”
After saying that, Xu Yin carefully put away the third page of the declaration of independence. Then, followed by more than ten old men, he rushed to find the leader.
On the other side of the world, in the Antique Association of America, the man with the golden thread, who was still anxious about how to make up for the loss in the stock market, sneezed a few times. He had no idea that a huge black pot was about to be placed on him.
After everything was done, Xuan casually washed up. He could finally relax after being tense for the past few days. He fell asleep on the big bed, but he didn't hear the system's notification.
