Chapter 579: Donation

"Hey, I said little fat man, can you not be so vulgar......"

Hearing the fat man's question, Zhao Hongtao and the two teachers' faces were not very good-looking, this golden Buddha in their eyes, it is carrying a thick history, is the root of the great war hundreds of years ago, for archaeologists and historians, it is a cultural relic worth studying. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But when it comes to the fat man's mouth, it seems that this thing can only be sold for money, can't the fat man see the important meaning that it can derive, and how can this meaning be measured by money?

"Brother Zhao, I'm ...... I'm a layman......"

Seeing the look on the faces of Zhao Hongtao and the others, the fat man knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, two teachers, don't think I'm vulgar, I say that this food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and Lazar don't need money?"

"I ...... I don't have anything to say to you......"

Zhao Hongtao glared at the fat man angrily, and there was really nothing that could be done about Zhao Hongtao and other scholars who never hid their desire for money and crooked reasoning like the fat man.

"Fang Yi, this golden Buddha still has a very important role in studying the history of China and neighboring countries in the Qing Dynasty......

Zhao Hongtao simply ignored the fat man, but turned his face to look at Fang Yi, and said: "I think his value as a cultural relic is more than the value of antiques, what do you think, Fang Yi?"

"Brother Zhao, I don't have a deep ...... in historical research" Fang Yi heard something else from Zhao Hongtao's mouth, and immediately smiled: "Brother Zhao, if you have any ideas, you can tell me, and you can also make me a reference......

"This ......"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Zhao Hongtao's fair face showed a hint of red, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "I think it's better to keep this thing in a museum, and it can also give scholars the opportunity to contact and study it......

"It would be better if it could be put in Brother Zhao's museum, right?"

Fang Yi interrupted Zhao Hongtao's words with a smile, shook his head and said, "The things in the museum are only for people to visit at most, but there are not many people who want to study them, right?"

Zhao Hongtao's meaning, Fang Yi had already seen it, in fact, it was nothing to donate this thing to the museum, Fang Yi didn't attach much importance to these things outside his body, but what he could easily get, others often didn't pay attention to it, so Fang Yi wouldn't let go so quickly.

"That's not it, every year there are school tutors who bring students to our museum to do research......

Being broken by Fang Yi's thoughts, Zhao Hongtao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, as the new leader of the museum, he naturally wanted to make some achievements, and if this golden Buddha with great research and market value could be included in the museum by him, it would be a very dazzling political achievement.

"Okay, Hong Tao, Fang Yi bought these things for more than 100 million, you can't just want to leave with empty words......"

Just when Fang Yi wanted to speak, Sun Lianda interrupted Zhao Hongtao's words, although Sun Lianda was the old leader of the museum, and Zhao Hongtao was his student, but the sum of these two things was not as important as Shang Yi's weight in his heart.

Zhao Hongtao is a student taught by Sun Lianda in school, but Fang Yi is a disciple of Sun Lianda's inheritance, in the eyes of these older generations, he is almost the same as his son, Sun Lianda is no matter how open-minded he is, he will not watch his son throw tens of millions of dollars out of vain, right?

And according to Sun Lianda's estimate, if this golden Buddha is auctioned, the starting price will be more than 10 million, and it is not uncommon to sell it even if it is 30 or 40 million, so in Sun Lianda's opinion, this golden Buddha must be the most valuable one in Fang Yi's batch of antiques.

"Teacher, let's ...... Our museum is also ...... to those who donate cultural relics. There's a certain reward, too......"

Zhao Hongtao was still distinguishing at first, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller, because Zhao Hongtao knew very well that in addition to spiritual honor, the so-called reward was a pitiful few, and the money that could be rewarded to Fang Yi was probably less than one-tenth of the gold value of this golden Buddha.

You must know that the museum's annual funds are only more than 10 million, and the expenses of employees and the maintenance of the museum must come out of this more than 10 million.

Of course, Zhao Hongtao can also apply to the higher authorities for the purchase of this golden Buddha, but the possibility of this declaration being approved is very small, and in that case, Zhao Hongtao will not have any political achievements, and it will not be beneficial to him personally.

"Hong Tao, although donating cultural relics is a very meaningful thing, it can't let Fang Yi suffer too much, and in your museum industry, there have been too many things in the past few years......"

Yu Xuan also interjected beside him, although Fang Yi's money was easy, but to be honest, the management of many museums in China is quite chaotic now, and not long ago, there was such an incident.

There is a very famous old collector in China, before he died in the mid-90s, he donated tens of thousands of cultural relics and antiques collected in his life to a provincial museum in the country, and many domestic newspapers reported this matter at that time.

But what outsiders don't know is that just the year before last, the descendants of the old collector who settled abroad accidentally saw a precious collection of his father at an auction.

The collector's descendants were so shocked by this discovery that he photographed the collection on the spot, and later approached the embassy in China and reported the incident.

Since the old collector and his children are well-known people abroad, after receiving the report, the state also attached great importance to this matter, and immediately sent an investigation team to the provincial museum to investigate.

It turned out that the two storeroom managers of that museum had colluded with foreign smugglers of cultural relics to secretly take out some precious cultural relics in the storehouse and sell them.

As soon as this incident came out, it was like a bombshell dropped, which shocked the entire industry, although the two staff members were arrested and brought to justice, but the lost cultural relics could not be recovered, causing major losses to the country.

It is only a loss, the consequences are still light, and what is more serious is that this incident has greatly damaged the patriotic heart of some patriotic people, since the outbreak of this case, the country has received very few donated cultural relics in recent years, and many people would rather put the cultural relics at home than donate them again.

"Mr. Yu, the management of our museum is still very strict, to open a warehouse, you need the signature of me and the two executive deputy curators, and the key is also managed separately......"

As soon as he heard Yu Xuan's words, Zhao Hongtao knew what he was talking about, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, this incident did discredit museums across the country, but after this incident, museums in various provinces and cities have strengthened their management, which can basically prevent this kind of thing from happening.

"Brother Zhao, in fact, it's not impossible to donate this golden Buddha to you......

Seeing Zhao Hongtao's anxious pale face, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing, and said: "I don't need your museum to pay for you, and I don't want cash rewards, but I have one condition, as long as you agree, I will donate this thing......"

"What? you...... Would you like to donate it?"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Zhao Hongtao's eyes lit up suddenly, just now seeing that the two teachers didn't agree with his words, Zhao Hongtao thought that there was no play, but now it suddenly became full of twists and turns, after all, this thing is Fang Yi's, naturally it still has to be based on Fang Yi's wishes.

Afraid that Fang Yi would regret it, Zhao Hongtao hurriedly said: "Fang Yi, if there are any conditions, just say it, as long as Brother Zhao and I can do it, I will definitely agree......"

"The conditions are very simple...... Fang Yi laughed and said, "Brother Zhao, as long as you promise me that after donating this golden Buddha, you won't fight me for anything else, I will donate this golden Buddha......"

Fang Yi was an orphan since he was a child, he grew up with his master in the mountains, this country and society have never given Fang Yi anything, and Fang Yi does not have much concept of family and country in his heart, so it doesn't work to talk to Fang Yi about the big truth, what does it matter whether the country needs it or not!

However, people who lack family affection since childhood are often extremely emotional, since going down the mountain, Zhao Hongtao has helped Fang Yi a lot, including the house he is in now and the shop he just bought a few months ago, all of which are Zhao Hongtao's help, in Fang Yi's opinion, this kind of affection is difficult to measure with money.

In the eyes of Zhao Hongtao, Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan, this golden Buddha is naturally extremely valuable, but they don't know that this golden Buddha was only obtained by Peng Bin, and it is not an object in the lost cultural relics at all, and the really valuable things are still in those wooden boxes.

Among the cultural relics that Fang Yi bought this time, there were about more than 30 pieces of porcelain, Fang Yi didn't look closely, but they were basically the official kiln porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, and the value of these porcelains alone far exceeded the 160 million that Fang Yi spent.

In addition, there are more than 10 ancient paintings in the box, although Fang Yi did not see them on the spot, but the paintings collected by the emperor, how can they be mediocre works? Now the price of the paintings of ancient masters in China is very high, and these paintings alone, I am afraid that the value of each one is not below this golden Buddha.

In addition to porcelain and paintings, there are three heavy vessels in this batch of cultural relics, that is, three tripods, although they are not the kind of big tripods used to worship the sky, but they are also royal masterpieces, and the value is even estimated by Fang Yi.

To be honest, with those artifacts in the box, Fang Yi really didn't care about this golden Buddha, whether it was its cultural relics value or market value, it was not taken to heart by Fang Yi.
