Ouyang Xiaodan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Tianyuan's words.

After a while, I understood the meaning of Zhang Tianyuan's words, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "I have inquired, what you said is really feasible, I have already been to see your museum, whether it is the scale or grade, it is no worse than the Palace Museum, let alone the Poly Museum." So if you can make meritorious service this time, it is really possible to apply for a batch of cultural relics to be put in!"

"It seems that I understand it well, Xiao Dan, you also know that my museum is about to open, and it does need such a batch of things, this favor, I really helped, but before that, it is better to make a note first, in case after the matter is resolved, you don't admit it, donate all the things to the National Museum, then I will die." ”

Under normal circumstances, private individuals who have obtained antique cultural relics need to be handed over to the state, which is the law of our country. However, museums are special, and if your museum is high-grade enough and reliable enough, then the state will put some things in your museum for long-term exhibition, then there is no problem.

Of course, the ownership is still with the state, and it's just an exhibition in your place.

"Don't think about good things, even if the state puts things on display in your museum, you can't buy or sell them, understand, because the ownership belongs to the state!" Ouyang Xiaodan thought that Zhang Tianyuan wanted to get these antiques in this way, so he reminded.

"You, you, you don't know anything about museums. Like me, this museum, at the moment of state approval. Nothing in it can be traded, including my own personal belongings. Unless I file for museum bankruptcy and then get my private stuff back. to re-trade. So this matter, don't worry about it at all, I don't want to dig into the foot of the country's wall, you really think too much. ”

Since Zhang Tianyuan is going to run a museum, how can he not know about the museum.

In the final analysis, the antique cultural relics owned by the state still have to be placed in museums for protection and exhibition, and under normal circumstances, these museums are public museums in various provinces and cities, even if they are small. No matter how bad the conditions are, as long as it is a public museum.

And this time, he is a special case, maybe because his museum is different, plus with the guarantee of Old Man Nie and the first chief, the treatment of this museum is naturally different.

When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but think of the museum in his hometown county.

It can be said that the conditions were very poor, and many things were not well kept. The technology is not in place, so many cultural relics with historical value and research value have been transported to Xifeng to be handed over to museums with better conditions for collection, which has to be said to be a big loss for their small county.

In fact, the situation is similar at home and abroad. The living space of private museums is very narrow, which involves problems in collections, operations and other aspects. A lot of it is unsustainable, especially museums of valuables. Basically, it's public, or national.

You like the British Museum, the Louvre, the Forbidden City, etc. These museums, which are very famous in the world, are basically operated and managed by the state.

Private museums. It's not uncommon, but most of them are not too rare gadgets, or special collectibles, for example, you have museums for wine abroad, and there are museums for cars in China, and so on.

However, there are very few private museums such as antiques.

It's not that there isn't, there are, it's just that the scale is generally small, and the collection is not comparable with that of public museums.

People who really collect good things, even if they want to donate, will donate these things to public or national museums with scale, grade and guarantee. Or just hide yourself and wait for the appreciation.

Zhang Tianyuan has no intention of donating at present, and he does not want to put his collection in the collection cabinet for self-appreciation. So his approach was to build a large museum of his own, so that he could get his collection in place and the support of the collectors.

In fact, donating is a very good and convenient thing, because after donating, you don't have to worry about your collection, and you don't have to spend a lot of money to maintain it.

But for the rich, it takes a lot of courage to donate, after all, every piece of those collections is not free, but bought with money. Whose money is not blown by the wind, but earned.

This is true of the rich, and even more so of the persecution of the poor.

Some people may say, why are there so many people donating abroad?

This is not nonsense, many people's collections abroad did not cost a penny at all, they were completely snatched from elsewhere, they do not want to spend money to maintain, choose to donate to the country, not only can get some special rewards, but also get a certain social reputation, and it will be much more convenient to do a lot of things.

This is not common in the country.

Of course, there are also truly selfless collectors in China, who spend a lot of money to buy things and donate them to museums, Zhang Tianyuan admires these people very much, but he can't do it.

When these people choose to donate, most of them choose to donate to public museums, or museums founded by state-owned enterprises like the Poly Museum, in short, museums with reliable guarantees.

Donors are also worried that if the things they donate to unqualified museums will be ruined, wasted, or even destroyed?

So now a very real situation in the country is that no one has ever been willing to donate good things to private museums.

That's one of the reasons why private museums are struggling.

The National Museum can get a large amount of donations, can have state financial support, and can also get archaeological relics and antiques, all of which make them not have to worry about not having a collection.

For example, the most obvious is the Palace Museum, as long as the country has made discoveries, many things will be collected there.

There is also the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum in Shaanzhou, where the things in it are basically unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and these are guaranteed.

What about private museums, it is very difficult to buy them at their own expense, or to borrow things from friends to increase their collection.

It is often said that "if you don't have money, don't play collecting".

This is true, these days, the possibility of picking up leaks is really very small, people who have no money, if you let him spend thousands of yuan to buy a thing, he will be distressed, he doesn't even have the courage to pick up leaks, let alone play collecting.

It is understandable that some wealthy people will sell or sell their collections because their business has failed, and then get a sum of money to make a comeback, because even if they are bankrupt, the things they may have collected are still valuable.

However, if you open a private museum and put these things in the museum to exhibit, trouble will follow, because once you get permission from the state to open a museum, then you can't sell the things in the museum at will.

Sometimes there is an embarrassing situation where you can't use the gold while holding on to it.

Therefore, it is really risky to run a private museum, many people either play smaller, not trying to make money, just want to have fun, while others simply use the name of the museum, but in fact it is a place to trade antiques, and there are no legal procedures recognized by the state at all.

Of course, there is no need to follow the rules, just for fear of being caught, which is another trouble.

Zhang Tianyuan has already thought about this kind of thing, anyway, he didn't run a museum to make money, but he can't lose too much, so the grade and scale of this museum must come up, these two things come up, then it will really become a scene of the imperial capital and a beautiful landscape in China.

Maybe from that time on, my museum will really start to make a profit.

Some people may ask, do you see that Mr. Ma Weidu has run a museum differently, and it is also very successful, there is no sign of bankruptcy, but it is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are even branch libraries, can't you follow his example?

That's right, Zhang Tianyuan can actually copy Ma Weidu's business model to run a museum, but it is estimated that it will not be successful. The reason is very simple, who are the people? I have been in this industry for more than 30 years, not only publishing books, but also making a name for myself through Guò TV.

Relying on his fame, he has become the leading person in the domestic collection circle.

Although he may not be able to talk about the first collection, he is definitely the first in terms of fame. Zhang Tianyuan had to admit this.

Relying on years of accumulated experience, popularity, and fame, he used his strong appeal and connections in the society to successfully gather a large number of talents in the collecting circle around him, forming a structure similar to that of a membership club.

In fact, it feels a bit like Zhang Tianyuan's newly established collectors' alliance, except that Mr. Ma did it earlier than him. And it's only for domestic, so it's a lot faster.

You know, once this circle is formed, it will develop benignly.

For example, in his circle, there are excellent treasure connoisseurs, excellent collectors, and some local tyrants, all of whom perform their own duties, which is not only conducive to the circulation of antiques, but also very beneficial to the development of his museum.

However, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't like this model very much, he thinks it has a bit of a "kidnapping" and "coercion" flavor.

If you don't pay your dues, you won't get our services, and then you won't be able to enter our circle. This is tantamount to setting an invisible threshold for some people who have poor economic strength, but have good things to sell.

Of course, he also has to admire that Mr. Ma is very good at doing things, and he can run a private museum beautifully, which is not just bragging, people have real skills. (To be continued......)
