Chapter 955 Brother and Sister Discussion
Lisa smiled and replied, "I was just on a business trip in France. Mr. Roll, one of the shareholders of Roland Headquarters, wanted to find a birthday present for Duke Ross!"
Tang Xiaoyu looked puzzled. "He's looking for a birthday present. What does that have to do with us? Do we have what he wants?"
Lisa replied, "Mr. Roll learned from a Portuguese duke that they had recovered the family scepter. He then learned that they had exchanged it with a private museum in Shencheng, China..."
After hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, that's true! So the Ross family also relied on overseas colonization and plunder to develop back then?"
"Yes!" Lisa nodded, then pulled out a brown paper bag. "This contains public information about the Ross family, including their family crest and some totems! It also includes information about where and how they acquired their wealth."
Tang Xiaoyu took it, opened the bag, and looked carefully at the materials inside.
When she saw the family crest, she was slightly stunned, as if she had seen it somewhere!
Lisa noticed Tang Xiaoyu's expression and asked, "Xiaoyu, have you seen this before? As long as there is this kind of logo or something else, it will be fine."
Tang Xiaoyu blinked and didn't rush to answer. Instead, he asked softly, "Since the Ross family is so influential in France and Europe, their antiques must be easier to find in Europe, right?"
Lisa laughed and shook her head when she heard this. "It can be found, but often more than one of the same thing is found. However, the Ross family's records have not been leaked. Many of them are fake!"
Tang Xiaoyu was stunned. "Are there also fake antiques abroad?"
Tang Xiaoyu knew about fake antiques because Mayor Tang liked to collect them. Although he didn't spend a lot of money every time, the so-called antiques he bought with a small amount of money were basically fake, but he still enjoyed it.
Lisa didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. "Human nature is universal. Where there's profit, there will be people who take advantage! We have forgers like this in our country, and there are also forgers abroad! In fact, many foreign antique experts often make mistakes! That's why they even use carbon 14 technology to test!"
"But some things are made by remaking old things, and they might not be detected during testing! Since Mr. Luo Er is giving a gift to such an important person, of course it has to be real and meaningful."
"I see that Mr. Luo Er attaches great importance to it. I believe he has something to ask of Duke Ross. Therefore, the item must not be purchased from there. Look for more meaningful Ross family antiques outside."
Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "I understand! Leave this information with me. I'll discuss it with Meilan and Liu Yiwen and go look for it! As for the subsequent transaction method, we'll discuss it after we find it!"
Lisa laughed when she heard this. "I understand you once traded with that Duke of Portugal, but it wasn't a sale; it was an exchange of antiques! You even donated those national treasures, which had been looted by foreign powers, to national and local museums!"
Tang Xiaoyu nodded. "It was the local government of Shenzhen that mediated the situation. They also attracted a lot of foreign investment and technology from Portugal. So, to comply with local policies, they exchanged the scepter."
"This stuff is very eye-catching. The things we exchanged for it are all very good and typical items that were once stolen. They are not even in the National Museum. So even if they are very valuable, Liu Meilan and her brother don't collect them for themselves!"
Lisa gave a thumbs up and said, "Most people can't do this!"
Tang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, so they are not ordinary people! Besides, some of these were salvaged within territorial waters, and some were salvaged on the high seas."
"Especially for items like this that carry family marks, I heard there are many lawsuits going on overseas. Some people think they belong to the salvors, while others say they belong to the original owners of these shipwrecks!"
"So after the company salvaged the shipwreck, they sealed the items and melted down the gold and silver and sold them directly to the bank! After all, attracting foreign investment is a national policy now. If they use this as a threat to force us to return the items, it would cause a lot of trouble."
Lisa's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. "Yes, there is such a doubt! If so, you two should discuss whether or not to give it to her! Or, if you want to give it to her, what do you want in return?"
Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "Okay! I'll ask later!"
After Lisa left, Wang Xiaoyu called Liu Meilan and told her about Lisa's request.
Liu Meilan was slightly stunned. "I'm at my second brother's place right now! How about this? Have the driver bring the information over! I'll take a look first, and then I'll check the person's background!"
Tang Xiaoyu agreed, "Okay!"
About 40 minutes later, Liu Meilan received the information brought by the driver.
Liu Meilan read it carefully, and when she saw the family emblem, she was slightly stunned. He knew this thing!
Once when they encountered a storm at sea, Liu Meilan acted decisively and, under the guidance of a big turtle, went looking for an island.
They went to the island when the wind and rain were light, found a cave and took shelter in it.
She discovered that there were many skeletons in the cave, a thick navigation record, and of course dozens of boxes of gold.
They only kept a small amount of the gold and silver as a souvenir, and melted the rest and sold them to the bank.
Liu Yiwen came back from the meeting and saw his sister concentrating intently. He leaned over to take a look and asked, "Why are you so interested in this? Do you want to visit my museum?"
Liu Meilan shook her head. "I'm not interested in this! This is Lisa, the director of Roland Company in China..."
Liu Yiwen was stunned. "Meilan, do you think they know that we got that fortune?"
Liu Meilan drummed her fingers on the table, thinking for a moment. "I remember someone in Hong Kong saw this pattern in our museum. It's not ruled out that someone else saw it! But since Mr. Luo Er has found Lisa, maybe they've got some information and know that we have the Ross family's shipwreck items here!"
Liu Yiwen touched his chin and said, "We melted down the gold and sold it to the bank. I even paid the tax. Even if they came to me, I couldn't possibly give it back!"
Liu Meilan rolled her eyes. "Even if it hasn't melted yet, I won't give it back to them! They probably know that even if we salvage the gold from the shipwreck treasure, we can't give it back to them, so they only want to recover the Ross family's old things!"
Liu Yiwen said, "I happen to be free right now. Take these materials with you and let's go to the museum to take a look! If they want them, we can exchange them!"
Liu Meilan nodded. "Since they value inheritance so much, they must want to find their Ross family's ancestors! Do you still remember those twenty or so skeletons?"
