Chapter 609: Where is my cut?
This press conference was not open to any other media house with the exception of NBTV the empire’s state television.
Chi Lian, for once was in agreement with other televisions and medias which were not allowed to cover the exclusive news stories she weaseled for herself. This was major news, they should all be allowed to eat a slice of that pie. All eyes would be on NBTV for as long as the press conference lasted.
"At least your brother made it to the conference." T4 told her.
Despite that small consolation, she had other other questions in mind as well like, why was the emperor calling it their empire’s treasure? It was mixed in with treasures of other empires and kingdoms too.
Most importantly, where was her cut?
Because it was being held in the royal palace, the emperor had no qualms about exposing the mountains of gold coins, heaps of porcelain, jewelry, old weapons, scraps of clothing and most of what had been discovered.
"The most important and surprising item discovered at the bottom of the sea in Saoning island is one of the three missing golden dragon heads which were stolen from the throne of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming dynasty in the 1400’s. A team of experts has restored the dragon head and carefully studied it, current market value of one dragon head is sixteen billion. It is the duty of every emperor to search for and return these dragon heads home. For hundreds of years, this duty has not been satisfied no matter how much effort has gone into the search. I am very glad that in my lifetime as emperor one of these dragon heads can finally come home. We will amp the search for the missing two dragon heads and it is my hope that they too will be found and returned.
The mythical Saoning wreckage which is a myth no longer and some of it’s contents will be put on display at the old restored museum for you all to feast your eyes.
A proper auction is also being arranged and some of the contents of the wreckage will be made available for you to take home.
