Chapter 886 Buying bones depends on the owner

"You don't have to make fun of my education with customers every time. These days, there are many people who have graduated from Yanjing University and sell pork. I'm not a waste of me."

Professor Ku said unhappyly, and then he whispered and dropped his book bag: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, and bandits don't ask about their origins. There are thousands of great ways in the world, only a free road."

"Look, being educated is different." Manager Feng cheered.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Such an intellectual old bone dealer, no wonder he could get such a connotational store name for the shop.

As for why this old professor of the Department of Archaeology who is knowledgeable and gives up his integrity and devotes himself to this industry, there is no need to dig into the bottom line.

Everyone has their own past and ambitions. As long as there is no illegal or criminal involvement, there is no need to measure it by the standards of a saint.

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to the temporary objects in the shop counter.

The items on this counter are indeed all bones!

And the source of these bones is almost very special!

"What kind of bones do you want to see? I basically have them in the book. Even if I don't have one, I can find them for you." Professor Ku pointed to the four big words "Buy a Bones with a Bones" drawn on the wall, and said in a very stylish way: "The premise is that you can afford the price. It can be said that most of the bones here are worth a thousand gold."

Song Che did not rush to move, and walked to the counter to browse one by one.

According to the product mark, the bones displayed inside include ivory, dinosaur fossils, Siberian tiger bones, Dzi beads made of white rhino horns, and even "Gubohua Jade (sound)" Dzi beads 450 million years ago on the Western Tibetan Plateau!

This look is really eye-opening.

Professor Shang couldn't help but question: "Don't anyone care about selling these?"

Professor Ku smiled disapprovingly and said, "Looking at this friend, this friend is also a cultural person, I guess he is too rigorous. In fact, many bones are not prohibited from being traded in law."

"For example, I mainly operate ivory products. According to the requirements of the forestry department, as long as the ivory products sold meet their age requirements and have approved qualifications, they can be circulated among the people." Professor Ku raised his hand and pointed to the ivory products: "Look, every piece I put out here has approval documents! There is also a large certificate like me hanging on the wall."

Everyone took the opportunity to take a look and found that there was a "Ivory Product Collection Certificate" hanging on the wall.

"Let's talk about dinosaur fossils and Siberian tiger bones. That's right, the country explicitly prohibits trading large vertebrate fossils, but the scope of law prohibition is limited to domestic ones, that is, all treasures found on the ground and underground must be handed over to the country. But what I sell here is basically bought abroad, and they are all through legal channels abroad. There is no shortage of various certificates. I buy them from abroad and apply for entry by regular customs. It's not illegal."

This is the truth.

Due to different national conditions, many foreign countries openly sell these special bones, and in recent years, there are more and more examples of dinosaur fossils auctioning abroad.

For example, two years ago, a Paris auction house publicly auctioned a carnivorous dinosaur fossil about 9 meters long, and was eventually taken down by a mysterious buyer for more than two million euros.

There is also an episode in between: Many archaeologists wrote a letter to condemn and protest the auction house, demanding that they keep these treasures with great archaeological value, but the capitalists at the auction ignored them and only replied: If you have money, buy them, don’t bb.

So Marx is right: capitalists can do whatever they want to make money, and they must put it under the socialist system. They have long required auction houses to hand over the fossils to the state.

As for the poor countries in Africa, they are even less particular. As long as you can afford to pay, they can sell the pyramids to you.

Upon hearing this, Song Che and others couldn't help laughing again.

Sure enough, cultural hooligans are different.

There is a saying that all Dharma ignorance and bans can be used.

The law does not prohibit it, but does not allow it, which is equivalent to an ambiguity.

Shang Ke heard it again and said with a smile: "I probably understand why you are engaged in this business."

This intellectual from the archaeology department is too familiar with the relevant legal provisions, so familiar that he knows how to walk on the edge of the law and never crosses the boundaries!

And there is a subtext in his words: the bones he placed on the container are allowed to be circulated by law, so who knows whether there will be circulated by law under his counter that is not allowed to be circulated by law?

"So, you have to talk about what bones you want first so that I can choose for you." Professor Ku said vigilantly.

If the bones that Song Che and the others asked for were not allowed by law, then he would need to be treated with caution.

At this time, everyone stopped talking and looked at Song Che at the same time.

Professor Ku knew that Song Che was the backbone of this group of people, and he also looked at this little guy carefully.

Song Che swept the shop again, carefully said, "Professor, I would like to ask you first. You have such a profound attainment in your research on animal bones. So have you ever handled the animal bones excavated from the tombs in your collection experience?"

Professor Ku thought for a while and pondered: "The culture of animal burial was very common in the Yellow River Basin in ancient times, that is, in the northern region now. Especially before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, ancient ancestors admired animal culture very much and polished animal bones into jewelry to wear them. The more special the source of this animal bones is, the higher the wearer's status in the tribe group."

"When these high-ranking leaders die, many animals and beasts will often be buried with each other. However, as of now, I have handled few bones of these animals, almost a handful of them. Because no matter how well-preserved tomb is built, once it is artificially invaded, not to mention bones, a mummy may be instantly oxidized and destroyed."

A professor is worthy of being a professor, and he works full of work as soon as he speaks.

Song Che's heart moved and asked, "So can you tell me about the bones excavated from the tombs you handled?"

"What do you want me to say about this?" Professor Ku spread his hands and said, "These animal bones that can be preserved after the excavation of the tomb are actually made by making mummies, and there is nothing special about it. So young man, you'd better tell me directly what animal bones you want to find. There's really no need to beat me around the bush."

"I did not ask for the specific bones of an animal. The main purpose of the above questions is to ask the animal bones to be excavated from a good tomb." Song Che said in a narrow voice: "To put it bluntly, what I am concerned about is not the bones, but the owner of this tomb. And the greater the identity of the owner of this tomb, the better. Such animal bones buried with this kind of animal are naturally worth my money."

Professor Ku raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely: "You have to look at the owner when you buy bones."
