Chapter 257 Anthony's Napoleon Double Gun

Xiao Yingchun didn't react: "If you want to collect them, just auction them directly. Why talk to me?"

James smiled: "The museum has limited funds, so they have another way of trading, called barter."

Xiao Yingchun was stunned: "Huh?"

James explained.

In addition to the collections that are often exhibited outside, the museum actually has many collections that are sealed in warehouses.

When they see more desirable collections appearing in the outside collection market, in addition to buying and selling, they will also choose to barter.

The director of the New Yue Museum was moved after seeing today's auction items.

He consulted James and learned that the seller had sold items at Widley Auction House before and that the collections were of extremely high value. He wanted to meet the seller behind these swords and jewelry boxes.

Of course, I want to see if there is any possibility of buying at a low price or bartering.

James received a commission from the director of the New Yue Museum, so he came to ask this question.

Xiao Yingchun didn't understand this. She thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you an answer later."

After leaving their contact information, Xiao Yingchun said goodbye to Fu Chenan and left.

When they returned to the hotel, it was already late at night. It was morning in China, so Xiao Yingchun called Dong Chunfeng.

Dong Chunfeng was excited when he heard this: "Director of the New Yue Museum? Want to barter?"

"See!"

Before Xiao Yingchun could say anything, he heard Dong Chunfeng instructing Huang Li to help book a plane ticket.

When Huang Li went to the stall to work, Dong Chunfeng explained: It turns out that among my country's cultural relics lost overseas, the collection of the New Yue Museum accounts for a very large proportion!
If it is collected by the public, it may be possible to buy it back.

Once you enter a museum like this, your hope of getting it back home is slim.

Bringing lost national treasures back to the country is the wish of many people, but it has also become a regret for many people because the operation is too difficult and the success rate is not high.

Dong Chunfeng thought it was worthwhile if he could exchange the artwork in Xiao Yingchun's hands for the former national treasure.

but……

"Yingchun, you have to be mentally prepared. If the exchange is successful, someone will persuade you to donate..."

Who among ordinary people would be willing to donate things worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars?

Xiao Yingchun thought about it seriously and said, "Let's take a look first, then we can talk about it."

In any case, it's better to have it in my own hands than in the New Yue Museum, right?

Whether it will be successful or not is another matter.

Dong Chunfeng agreed.

Xiao Yingchun hung up the phone and James was replied.

According to Dong Chunfeng, the New Yue Museum should give the direction of the collections it wants, and then provide a catalog of the collections that can be exchanged.

Now that both parties have a rough framework, can they discuss in detail whether an exchange is possible?

What exactly is being exchanged?
Of course, it is impossible for the New York Museum to buy it at a low price.

Xiao Yingchun would rather auction it directly than sell it to the New York Museum at a low price...

Xiao Yingchun had just made the contact and was about to go to the Space-Time Supermarket with Fu Chenan when there was a knock on the door.

The two looked at each other: Who?
Fu Chenan pushed Xiao Yingchun behind him, took out his gun and put it behind him, then went to open the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Anthony, who just took a picture of your collection!"

There was a familiar voice outside the door, but it was speaking slightly broken Chinese.

The last time he met with his group, he clearly didn’t know Chinese?!

Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan looked at each other and got goosebumps: Why is this person here?

Anthony was not determined to go in immediately and explained his purpose outside the door.

"Ms. Xiao, I really like your collection. I came here specially just to ask if you have anything else?"

Seeing no response from inside the room, Anthony said another sentence.

"I came here this time to tell you another piece of news."

"I know what the museum wants, and I know what they have..."

Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan looked at each other. This was quite attractive. But... "Mr. Anthony, can you wait for me in the cafe on the first floor?"

Public places have more people and are safer.

Anthony went down.

Fu Chenan glanced at Xiao Yingchun and asked, "Do you really want to meet her?"

Xiao Yingchun pursed her lips and said, "Let's meet him. I always feel that he has some ulterior motive."

"If I don't understand his purpose, I won't feel at ease if I'm always being chased like this."

Only a person who commits a thousand days can be a thief, how can a person who can spend a thousand days guard against thieves?
Fu Chenan thought about it and agreed. He put the gun on his waist, put on his windbreaker, and followed Xiao Yingchun downstairs.

In the coffee shop on the first floor, Anthony, who had arrived earlier, saw Xiao Yingchun from afar and immediately stood up to greet her.

The two sides exchanged a few hypocritical polite words, and after sitting down, Anthony chose to get straight to the point: "I know Miss Xiao doesn't dare to trust me, and I would be the same if she were in my place."

Xiao Yingchun smiled but said nothing.

Anthony smiled even more cheerfully: "I just like Miss Xiao's straightforward personality."

"Then I won't beat around the bush. I came here today for a purpose."

"I want to ask Miss Xiao, do you have any good swords? I am really interested in this kind of thing..."

"As long as it's available, the price is not a problem. Even if Miss Xiao gives it to me at today's auction price, I'm willing to do it."

Xiao Yingchun frowned and looked at Anthony, somewhat unable to understand him.

Anthony couldn't say more. He waited for a while and when Xiao Yingchun didn't respond, he took the initiative to bring up another topic.

"I learned today that the New Jump Museum wants to barter with you."

"Do you want to know what they want most?"

"Do you want to know what they are willing to give in exchange?"

Xiao Yingchun smiled and said, "As long as they want to complete this exchange, they will definitely tell me this information."

"It's just a matter of time. There's no need for me to rush."

In other words: Why should I do you a favor for information that I will know sooner or later?
But Anthony obviously didn't think so.

"Ms. Xiao, you probably don't know what the New Yue Museum is looking for right now..."

According to Anthony, the New Yue Museum actually also had its eyes on the weapons that Xiao Yingchun had previously auctioned.

This precious weapon, which can be seen as the weapon used by the emperor, they like it very much.

Xiao Yingchun was a little worried: she did have weapons, but they were all from Fu Chenan's Tianwu Kingdom.

Whether the museum likes it is one thing, and what the museum is willing to give you in exchange is another.

Anthony immediately added, "In fact, what the Newyue Museum will exchange for depends entirely on what you can give. As long as the item is of sufficient value, they are willing to exchange even the animal head."

After hearing this, Xiao Yingchun was shocked: animal heads?

She knows this without anyone explaining it to her!

That was the famous national treasure that was lost in the Old Summer Palace!

But when it comes to this, Xiao Yingchun herself is timid: No matter how precious the things of Tianwu Kingdom are, can they be compared to the animal heads? !

Anthony looked at Xiao Yingchun's changing expression, feeling both proud and expectant.

"I know the New York Museum has a snake head and a chicken head."

"But due to historical reasons, it is not convenient for them to put it on display."

"If Miss Xiao wants the animal head, I can help."

“Museums prefer to pass on things in an orderly manner.”

"If it is inconvenient for Miss Xiao to directly exchange the precious sword with the New Yue Museum, we can first exchange it for something else."

"Huh?" Xiao Yingchun's heart was filled with alarm.

What does Anthony mean by this?
Anthony smiled and took the initiative to explain: "I have two collections in my hands. They are the double guns that Napoleon used to try to commit suicide. They are exactly what Director Jeff likes..."

Not to mention the shape and value of the two guns, their historical significance alone is extraordinary.

I think the New Yue Museum would be willing to part with these two guns if they could get them.
