After discussing work matters, Raphael immediately took Zhu Wencong, Su Yanqiao, and Louis to visit the bank's vault.

This was in accordance with Zhu Wencong's previous request to wholesale purchase all the treasures England had plundered from the East and to specifically build a storage room for them.

Westerners simply did not understand the value of Eastern treasures, so they sold them all as junk, believing they had made a fortune.

When you tell him it's a Ming Dynasty artifact, he would ask you what the Ming Dynasty is. Aren't they all Eastern artifacts?

The logic is that simple. Westerners do not know the history of the East, nor do they understand the complexity of each artifact's craftsmanship, or even the value of time's patina.

The most undervalued items were bronze objects, which Westerners considered junk. If Jiuding Bank hadn't specifically requested them, they would have been discarded long ago.
