Chapter 911 is really a tough one

  Laoma is the old capital. He has been to the countryside and is a young expert in transplanting rice seedlings. After returning to the city, he worked as a workshop worker in a factory and knows the market best.

   As soon as you look at the number 235 in front of the license plate, you know that this is the car of the Japanese embassy.

  The vehicles of the embassy at that time, each country has a code, marked with three digits.

  The last three digits are sequence numbers. For example, for ambassadors of various countries, the last three digits are generally 001.

  Reminiscent of the dispute caused by the two red and white hibiscus pictures in the morning, we can basically judge that this is the embassy coming to the door.

  No matter when, diplomatic disputes are a big deal.

   However, the size of the country will have a great impact on the outcome when resolving disputes.

  The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, this is the truth.

  As soon as they heard that it was the embassy from the island country, those experts were a little panicked. Fatty Jin was at a loss: "Brother Qingshan, this matter..."

  Liu Qingshan could hold his breath. Since he chose to exhibit the red and white hibiscus picture, he had already made psychological preparations for it.

  So he smiled and waved his hands: "The soldiers are here to block you."

   "This is the demeanor of a general." Fatty Jin gave a thumbs up and felt at ease.

   Soon, a group of people got off from a few cars, and there were two staff members from the diplomatic department in front.

   Followed by four or five shorter people in suits, all with sullen faces, they should all be diplomats from the island country.

  A middle-aged man came over and showed his ID first. Liu Qingshan glanced at him and saw that it was a deputy director named Zhao.

  So nodded: "I am Liu Qingshan, the legal person of this Qingshan Museum, everyone, please sit inside."

  It's winter, you can't stand outside, this is not the way of hospitality, at least in terms of face, you can't be ashamed.

   "Okay." Comrade Zhao nodded with a serious face, and then led people to follow Liu Qingshan into the museum.

  Take a seat in the lounge. On Liu Qingshan's side, Master Lu and Fatty Jin are present, as well as the handler Boban. In addition, those experts just now are also paying close attention to this matter.

   After all, such a national treasure-level painting is still very touching.

   Someone brought tea, Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry, waiting for the other party to speak.

  Comrade Zhao said after taking a sip of tea: "Comrade Liu Qingshan, our ministry received a protest from the island country embassy, ​​saying that it was your museum. A painting on display was stolen from the island country at the beginning of the year."

   "So the organization sent us to investigate and understand the situation, please cooperate with our work."

  Liu Qingshan understands a little bit, this Comrade Zhao should not come here to deliberately make things difficult, or he is doing business.

   And judging from the meaning of these words, the other party obviously knows something about Liu Qingshan.

  It's understandable when you think about it. After all, it belongs to the diplomatic department and has more information about foreign countries, and Liu Qingshan's reputation abroad is far greater than that in China.

  So Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "Please rest assured, the leader, I will actively cooperate."

  Comrade Zhao then introduced: "This is Mr. Sato from the embassy of the island country. I have some questions and I want to communicate."

  Liu Qingshan also nodded to the Mr. Sato who was suing his forehead: "Please."

   Sato said directly in proficient Chinese: "Liu Sang, I am very sorry that such a thing happened. This will greatly affect the good-neighborly and friendly relations between our two countries."

  Diplomats, it’s just diplomatic rhetoric, and the big hat is directly deducted.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Sato is serious. I bought these two paintings and calligraphy through legitimate channels. It is a commercial act, so I don't need to worry about diplomacy. What you are doing is a major issue related to the two countries."

   After he finished speaking, he gave a wink, and Fatty Jin immediately brought up all the relevant procedures, including witnesses.

  Mr. Boban, as the agent hired by Liu Qingshan, is specifically responsible for this transaction.

  Comrade Zhao also checked the procedures together, and he knew it immediately: at least this matter can be invincible.

  So he calmed down and waited and watched. When he came, the leaders above had already greeted him, telling him not to lose the dignity of the country.

   Of course, Comrade Zhao can understand the meaning of these words.

  Sato just glanced at these procedures briefly, and then snorted coldly: "This kind of trick is just to deceive people's eyes and ears, and it doesn't make any sense."

   Boban stopped doing it when he heard it, and quarreled with the other party.

   Two foreigners quarreled, and of course the others watched.

   Boban is in this business, and he is familiar with relevant laws and regulations, so he quickly refuted it until Sato had nothing to say. This guy could only wave his hands angrily:

   "You are not qualified to discuss this with me!"

   "You are insulting my professionalism and integrity."

  Boban also refused to give in, but unfortunately Sato didn't know the great achievements of his ancestors, so he almost sold the Eiffel Tower, otherwise, he would definitely seize this and fight back.

  Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry, he drank his tea leisurely, of course it would be even better if he had a handful of melon seeds.

   "Satou-kun, don't engage in unnecessary disputes." An islander in his sixties reminded Sato that the other party is not the right one at all. Why are you arguing with him?

   Sato came to his senses and nodded towards Watanabe. This Watanabe is the veteran of the embassy. Although his rank is not as high as Sato's, his experience is extremely rich.

  So Sato turned to Liu Qingshan angrily: "Liu Sang, as the owner of this painting, we have the right to take back what belongs to us."

  Liu Qingshan shook his head: "If it's true, this painting originated in the Southern Song Dynasty and has been circulating in our country. Who do you think is the real owner?"

   "Then we obtained it through legal means back then, art has no borders." Sato also tried to argue with Liu Qingshan.

   "We also obtained it through legitimate means, and the procedures are complete."

  Liu Qingshan is not in a hurry, which is in stark contrast to Sato who is angry and angry: "And I would like to advise Mr. Sato that art has no borders, but artworks have nationality."

"you!"

   Sato was completely furious: "Liu Sang, if you are too stubborn to solve the problem through diplomatic means, then we will consider adopting a tougher method and bring it to law."

  Liu Qingshan rejoiced: "Okay, I'll stay with you until the end. Our Jade Bird company is also suing Sony in your country. As the saying goes here, one sheep is herding, and two sheep are also shedding."

   Isn't it just a lawsuit? Liu Qingshan is really not afraid of this, he fought from the United States to the island country.

  He also suddenly realized: he has been a bit involved in lawsuits recently, if he is in a museum, he should collect a piece of paper and put it at the entrance of the museum.

  苴犴 is one of the nine sons of the dragon, and it is said that he likes litigation.

  So it is a bit nondescript to put this in front of the ancient government offices and prisons, and put it at the entrance of the museum, right?

  Before coming here, Sato also had a brief look at Liu Qingshan's information, and then he remembered that this person in front of him is not an ordinary person.

   People in the United States also have a lot of assets.

   And it is said that the bones are very hard, and even the National Security Agency of the United States has been brought to court.

  You use things like lawsuits to threaten people, why do you feel a little outrageous?

  Sato suddenly realized that the smiling young man in front of him was actually a hedgehog, the kind covered in steel thorns.

  A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and Sato's attitude immediately changed drastically. The anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a warm smile.

  For diplomats, changing faces and so on are all compulsory courses.

   "Liu Sang, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. I don't know why you returned the painting?"

   Sato put on a different face and called the people in the living room, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

   Fatty Jin thought to himself: This old boy, didn’t he steal the face-changing skill of our Sichuan opera, did he?

   "It's not a return. This painting belongs to our country."

  Liu Qingshan put away the smile on his face and became serious: "This is a matter of principle and should not be confused. If you want to return it, please return all the Chinese cultural relics in the major museums in the country first."

idiot!

   Sato cursed in his heart, the other party refused to accept softness and toughness, he was really a hard bone, which made him feel helpless.

  At this time, the old man Mr. Watanabe said: "I have heard about Jun Liu's deeds. The grand occasion of Jun Liu's auction of the United Team Flag on Hong Kong Island is still in front of me."

  What does this old guy mean?

  Liu Qingshan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

  I just heard Watanabe continue to speak slowly. His Mandarin is very standard. If you don’t know it, you think you are chatting with a local person face to face:

   "I have great admiration for Mr. Liu's economic foresight. He successfully predicted the decline of our country's economy."

  The more he flattered others, the more alert Liu Qingshan was. He looked at the other party quietly, waiting for the picture to be seen.

   Sure enough, Watanabe soon stopped going around in circles, he shook his head and sighed softly:

   "It is precisely because of this economic crisis that many museums in our country are unsustainable, and we have to prepare to sell some of the treasures in our collection to the international market for auction, which naturally includes a large number of cultural relics from your country."

   "So good!"

   Fatty Jin is still young after all, and he couldn’t help but scream when he heard this. It is of course a great thing to be able to return a large number of cultural relics in this way.

  Liu Qingshan didn't think so, he finally understood what the old fox Watanabe meant: this is a threat.

  This is implying that once those collections are put up for auction, they will definitely be subject to malicious price hikes just like the auction of the alliance flag back then.

  The current income and purchasing power of the Israeli people are really unbearable.

  This old guy is really insidious enough: Don’t you, Liu Qingshan, like to buy back cultural relics from your country, then you will be asked to pay a big price.

   No matter how huge your personal funds are, they are limited after all; if you ignore them, not only Liu Qingshan will lose face, but the entire nation will be ridiculed.

  Although Liu Qingshan also knows that there is a high probability that those museums in island countries will not do this kind of thing.

   But who knows, will they go crazy?

  In case the government over there is envoys, and there is a big consortium helping the flames, Liu Qingshan really can't resist it.

  With his current strength, he still doesn't have the ability to fight against the entire island consortium by himself.

  Seeing Liu Qingshan's silence, Fatty Jin finally gradually understood what it was like, and cursed inwardly: This old guy Watanabe is quite sinister.

  Once such a scene really happened, Fatty Jin felt that even cultural relics researchers like them would have no face to go out to meet people in the future.

  The other experts here, of course, also wanted to understand the twists and turns, and all glared at Watanabe.

  Don’t care about old fritters like Bian Bian, of course, he still said slowly:

   "Liu Jun, the matter must be resolved after all, please show your sincerity and come up with a result that both of us can accept."

  Just now, Sato didn't get any advantage, but Watanabe kept silent and brought the two sides back to the same starting line.

  Liu Qingshan also felt a little tricky. After thinking about it, a smile reappeared on his face:

   "Mr. Watanabe, I almost forgot, earlier this year, I already filed an immigration application and it has already been approved."

Ok?

  Watanabe was taken aback for a moment. He has lived and worked here for many years. Of course, he knows that there are many Chinese people who yearn to immigrate to European and American countries.

  If this Liu Qingshan immigrates to the United States, it will be really troublesome.

  But the surface is still calm: "Then I really want to congratulate Liu Jun. I don't know which country you want to immigrate to. I think our island country is very good."

   "If we can become fellow countrymen, then the ownership of this painting will not be a problem."

  Liu Qingshan shook his head: "There is nothing to congratulate. The place where I immigrated is Liland in Africa."

   At the beginning of the year, because the situation was unclear, Liu Qingshan submitted an immigration application, but there has been no response.

  He didn't know that this question had even alarmed some big shots.

   After all, Liu Qingshan’s situation is very clear from above, and the influence of politics, economy and many other aspects must be considered.

  But just half a month ago, Liu Qingshan finally received a call, informing him to go through the relevant procedures.

  However, from time to time, Liu Qingshan has no other ideas now, so there is no need to engage in immigration strategies.

   It was those men who devoted themselves to the construction of Lilan. Many unmarried young people chose to marry local women and became foreign sons-in-law.

  Liu Qingshan was quite busy during this time, so he never went to withdraw the application, just to prevaricate this old fellow Watanabe.

  After hearing Liu Qingshan report "Lilan", Watanabe's face could not help but twitch twice. He couldn't understand why there were still people voluntarily immigrating to Africa?

  So he smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is joking with me, right?"

  Liu Qingshan shook his head: "Such a big event, how can it be trifling, so if Mr. Watanabe and you want to solve the problem through diplomatic means, you should go to Lilan to communicate."

  Watanabe felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, and he was suffocated: Lilan is in chaos, and there is no unified government. Who should I turn to?

  The most important thing is that people basically don’t have embassies in other countries. Are we going to Africa?

   It is possible to go, but it is not easy to say whether you can come back.
