Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 358 The Treasure Belongs
Liang En did not intend to use these cards because it was the waiting time, but planned to use them after everyone returned to the hotel.

Because the cleaning work on the front workbench will continue for a while, Liang En began to think about the benefits he can get this time besides the cards.

Most of the jewelry found from the current property of his own has to be handed in, because those are the wealth that was plundered by spicy crispy, and this point is not negotiable.

However, there is no need to hand in the guard ring, because this ring is the only one among the pile of jewelry that is not a looted item, so it naturally belongs to Liang En.

Considering that the purpose of coming to the Czech Republic this time is to get 1 euros, this ring worth more than 2 dollars is not a small gain for him.

In addition, because the things obtained this time are completely different from the things found before, it is almost certain that there will be a lot of pictures inside. Compared with other works of art, pictures are obviously easier to get some extra profits.

According to tradition, Liang En, as the discoverer, can benefit from a series of sub-businesses generated from this discovery. For example, if these works are finally assembled into a painting album, then Liang En will naturally get a large share.

"I feel that the overall benefits obtained this time are really good. It seems that my luck is quite good." After counting the benefits obtained this time, Liang En found that the unexpected trip to the Czech Republic was obviously much greater than expected .

But just when he was happily calculating how much profit these industries could bring him in the future, he suddenly heard noisy voices from around him.

"What happened?" Liang En recovered from the thought just now, only to find that almost everyone in the room was looking at him.

"The things that Mucha left behind are yours—" Scudder patted Liang En on the shoulder and said, "You are so lucky, so next time you want to explore treasure hunting, please be sure to call me. "

"What are you talking about? My things? What's going on?" Liang En felt a little confused after hearing what Mr. Scold said, because he was thinking about his own affairs just now, and he didn't pay attention to what happened in the room at all. What.

Fortunately, everyone else at the scene knew about this matter, so Liang En and others quickly figured out what happened here through Joan of Arc and Fan Meng.

It turned out that when the silver box was opened before, it was found that the box contained a piece of parchment that was rarely seen in that era, and what was written on the parchment was his arrangement for this treasure.

According to the content of this letter, the leftover works of art have two directions of arrangement. If the finder finds them by accident, then these things will be handed over to Czech officials.

And if these things are found through the clues he left before.Then these hidden works of art belong to whoever finds them.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for these two arrangements, that is, his motherland, the Czech Republic, must be an independent country and cannot be occupied or controlled by other countries.

Considering that Mucha put these things together at exactly the time when Czechoslovakia was occupied by Germany in the Sudetenland region, and Czechoslovakia might be annexed at any time, so it is normal to make such a request.

To be honest, if ordinary people found this treasure, the Czech officials might not recognize Mucha's will, but considering the identities of Liang En and Mr. Skoder and the previous national live broadcast, they have no choice now.

Of course, there was another reason why the Czech officials decided to abide by the will, and that was that according to the parchment, Liang En had to abide by certain rules if he wanted to own these items.

These rules include the following points: First, these things are absolutely not allowed to be taken out of Czechoslovakia, as long as even one painting is taken out, the ownership will be lost.

Secondly, these things are not allowed to be hidden in the warehouse all the time, and these pictures must be displayed within three months after they are obtained, so that the public can see these pictures.

Finally, these things can only be sold to Czechoslovak officials, and can only be sold at 1/10 of the market price, otherwise they are absolutely not allowed to be sold.

This restrictive condition is relatively strict. The only thing I didn't expect was that the country of Czechoslovakia had now become two countries.

Of course, this change will not affect too many things, but for Liang Enlai, the biggest problem now is how to make these works of art exhibitable within three months.

"Just leave it to me about the exhibition." Scudder said proactively, "It happens that I have a museum in my hand that can exhibit these works of art."

In fact, the first time they saw those restrictions, Liang En and the others thought of the museum in Skold's hands. To be honest, it would be a win-win for both of them if these things were put in that museum.

Because the former owner of the museum sold out all the precious cultural relics in the collection, now the museum has become empty and may close down at any time.

So if Liang En chooses to put these things on display in the museum held by Skold, it will not only solve the problem about the exhibition venue, but also bring the museum back to life.

Because of the pleasant cooperation many times before, Liang En and Mr. Scold quickly set the general direction of [-]-[-] split. As for the details, it is the lawyers' business and has nothing to do with Liang En and the others.

In addition, Liang En and the others also agreed to cooperate with the museum on these pictures and art works. Of course, those lawyers will also be responsible for the details.

To be honest, legal issues in the Western world are so complicated that under normal circumstances, various business negotiations would not even be possible without the participation of professional legal professionals.

In the following time, Liang En spent an hour being interviewed by these reporters. After all, it is indeed very good news that a foreigner has found a treasure of a Chinese artist and can legally appropriate it for himself.

Fortunately, these professional journalists are not paparazzi, so they are also measured when asking questions, so after asking some details similar to treasure hunting or specific arrangements for these artworks in the future, they let it go he.

Of course, another main reason is that the lawyer who followed Skold found the copy and the list of items mentioned in the last will in a famous law firm in the United States, and thoroughly determined the ownership of these items.

Considering that Mucha lived in the United States for a long time, it is normal to make double preparations when the Germans may invade their homeland at any time.

I have to say that his idea is very wise, because the Germans arrested him immediately after they invaded Czechoslovakia, which also caused him to die of pneumonia.

Even after his death, the occupying forces of Germany at that time refused to pay tribute to him, and at the same time searched and destroyed some things that were considered to be detrimental to the occupying forces of Germany.

From this point of view, it is obvious that Mucha sent these files abroad not only to leave a copy of his will, but more importantly, to leave some traces of himself under the iron heels of the German invaders at that time.
