Chapter 1100: The Back Door
"Stinky boy, do you remember such a godfather?" Although Old Man Nie was reprimanding Zhang Tianyuan, he could hear it, and he was very happy, very happy.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid that you will be busy, you are always in charge of everything, unlike a little person like me, in case of disturbing national affairs, I am a great sin." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, no matter how busy I am, I still have time to answer your call. You kid must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you won't call my grandfather if you don't have anything, let's say, what's the matter? Old Man Nie smiled.
"Grandpa, I'm really not looking for you to do something this time, I just want to tell you good news and make you happy." Zhang Tianyuan said.
"Good news? What's the good news? β
"Haven't you always been thinking about those national treasures abroad? I got a lot of money this time, but I need a transport plane to bring it back to China, there are too many things, grandpa, can you help me with this? "Zhang Tianyuan has rarely called Old Man Nie his grandfather, even if he does, he must add his surname in front of him, otherwise he feels that he can't live with his dead grandfather.
But after going through so many things, he figured out that for the dead, respect, nostalgia, and forgetfulness are enough, and for the living, he should cherish them even more.
To put it mildly, Old Man Nie was originally one step away from the Ghost Gate, and he dragged Old Man Nie back from the Ghost Gate, but when people are old, after all, it is impossible to live a long life, let alone live forever. Old Man Nie estimates that he won't live for many years, so if he can get close, try to get close.
This old man is really good to himself. You can't be without a conscience, right?
"Hey, you kid can't have done something illegal, right?" Old Man Nie frowned.
"Look where you've got. It's like this......"
Zhang Tianyuan told the matter to Old Man Nie from beginning to end.
"You kid is really a lucky star, grandpa, I'm really convinced. I took it, I heard people say that you were lucky, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Well done, Tianyuan, you really did a great thing this time, don't worry, the matter of the transport plane is wrapped up in grandpa, and there is also the matter of the museum, don't worry. Grandpa, I will hang up the name of this honorary curator, see who dares not to go through the formalities for you, you are a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, we are not afraid of others gossiping. Old Man Nie said excitedly.
"Then thank you grandpa, you have to work more leisurely, don't work too hard, after all, people are old, and the world in the future is the world of young people." Zhang Tianyuan said.
"You're right. Mr. Liang Qichao has a good saying, the country is strong when the youth is strong, and there are outstanding people like you among the young generation in our country, I am very relieved. β
"Hey, hey. Grandpa, don't praise me, if you praise me again, my face will turn red into tomatoes. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "You are busy." I won't bother, there are still some things that need to be done. I'll probably call you more often in the future, but don't bother me. β
"No, it won't. You can call at any time. β
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianyuan saw a text message from Nie Zhen, which was a phone number and a person's name - Pipiru.
Seeing this name, Zhang Tianyuan almost didn't laugh out loud, although he had heard the story of Pipiru and Lu Xixi when he was a child, but how could anyone have such a name, how much did he like Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tales, and he was really drunk.
Pipiru is fifty years old this year, working in the Ministry of Culture, and his immediate boss is none other than someone from the Nie family, so after receiving a call from Nie Zhen, he didn't dare to delay, and has been waiting for Zhang Tianyuan's call in the office.
This matter is not sloppy, he even found out the information required for the application of the private museum, and then prepared to send it to Zhang Tianyuan.
When Zhang Tianyuan called over, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, as if he was issuing a military order, he took care of the matter and took it on himself, and then sent Zhang Tianyuan an email, the things in the email, in addition to the information and precautions required for the application, also have some tips, to put it bluntly, it is the way to go through the back door.
This is much more detailed than what Wang Lao said.
"Zhang Gongzi, you don't have to worry about this matter, as long as the review materials are handed in, we must be a special case, just now Old Man Nie also said hello, saying that this is a major event of the country's first class, it must be done well, so many national treasures are going home, and a grand welcome ceremony must be held." Pipiru said very seriously.
When Zhang Tianyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, after he told the old man just now, the old man Nie called Pipiru directly, this old man Nie has spoken, and Pipiru doesn't dare not do it even if he has a hundred guts.
As for the grand welcome ceremony, Zhang Tianyuan thought about it and thought that it might be good, the purpose of his original private museum was to let the world know that even ordinary people could run a good museum, instead of using fakes and imitations to fill the numbers.
The impact of this is very large, and it is absolutely not harmful for his museum, so he has no objection.
"Thank you, Mr. Api, I'll take a look at the information first, and if there's anything I don't understand, I'll call you, okay?"
"Of course, of course there is no problem, if you have anything to say, you don't have to be polite." Pipiru is fortunately on the phone, otherwise, it is estimated that he must be nodding his head at this time, this kind of person is used to accepting the orders of his boss, and he will definitely not be able to change it, but it seems that there is no need to change it, so it is good, at least he will not make a stumbling block for Zhang Tianyuan in this matter.
When she left the screening room and returned to the room, Liu Mengxun was humming a song and reading a book, and it seemed that this girl was in a good mood.
Seeing Zhang Tianyuan coming in, he put down the book in his hand and ran over, hugged his dear's neck and said, "How is it, husband, have things been arranged?" β
"Okay, I just called Old Man Nie, and this matter was easily done, but although there is no problem with the audit, I heard from Elder Wang, this matter is not so simple." What Zhang Tianyuan is worried about now is not about the museum, but about the problems after the museum was established.
"I know what you're worried about, but I'm afraid you don't know, I used to attend a summit meeting with my grandfather at a private museum club, and I heard a lot about private museums, anyway, it's not easy to do." Liu Mengxun also sighed and said: "Originally, I didn't want to say it, for fear of hitting your self-confidence, but now I think it is necessary to sue you so that you can be mentally prepared." β
"My wife has something to explain, just say it, I'm worried that I don't know about this matter, and if you listen to it, you can understand it." Zhang Tianyuan didn't rush to check the information on the computer, but sat on the edge of the bed with Liu Mengxun in his arms and asked.
"When the collection is at the level of a private museum, it naturally has a lot of cultural and social responsibilities. There is a person named Huashan Sanren in China, you know? Liu Mengxun asked.
"Yes, you know, this man is a well-known media critic." Zhang Tianyuan nodded.
"Well, many people know that he is a media critic, but few people know that he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has collected many ancient weapons, including the 'Qi Family Knife' developed by Qi Jiguang in the era of anti-Japanese war. Whether traveling in China or abroad, Huashan people like to visit local museums. The more he watched, the more he sighed: 'In the United Kingdom, France and other countries, visiting museums is a way of life, and children have been visiting and learning in museums with their parents since they were young, enjoying the joy brought by cultural relics and exhibits. β
"In foreign museums, Huashan people often hear visitors ask the docent the question: 'What era of civilization is this?' But in museums in China, visitors often discuss how much this object is worth! β
"Well, this seems to be true, but it's not all right, with the progress of our country's spiritual civilization construction, many people are not like that when they enter the museum, right?" Zhang Tianyuan was a little unconvinced.
"Maybe, after all, what this Huashan Sanren said was a few years ago, in fact, collecting is often an ascetic, and culture is originally lonely. Nowadays, society pays attention to the extravagant life orientation, which is not tempting for many people who really like antiques. Confusion. Liu Mengxun continued.
What she said was polite, what is a life guide who pays attention to luxury, in fact, everyone has gotten into the eyes of money, even Zhang Tianyuan was the same before, this is really a thing. In a world of rampant desire, you can do without your father and mother for money, and you can use marriage as a child's play for money, and the prevalence of money worship is really very similar to the United States a few decades ago.
In fact, the initial motivation of many private collectors is to like it, and then it is a sense of responsibility that cannot bear to "lose good things" and rescue culture. Zhao Shutong, a professor at the China Academy of Art, is the main creator of the famous sculpture "Rent Collection Institute" in Liu Wencai's manor, because of his work, he came into contact with a large number of folk cultural relics in the 60s of the last century, such as shadow puppetry, carved beds, temple plaques, etc., because he was worried that these would be destroyed by the surging political movement, he acquired and collected them as soon as he had the opportunity, and accumulated nearly 200,000 shadow puppets and hundreds of carved beds, and also donated tens of thousands of pieces to the China Academy of Art to make a shadow puppet museum. Today, these precious shadow puppets have become invaluable teaching materials and cultural heritage.
There is a collection of nearly 50 Rolls-Royce antique cars named Zhou Yong, the original intention of his collection is to "export gas for the Chinese", including the head of the Old Summer Palace Many national treasure-level cultural relics were lost overseas and auctioned at sky-high prices, he was very angry in the United States, out of revenge, he bought the most bullish antique cars in the West.
There is a big difference between Westerners violently robbing Chinese antiquities, while Chinese buying Western treasures by formal means.
This person's thoughts are a bit similar to Zhang Tianyuan, but a little naΓ―ve, of course, you have to admit his enthusiasm, just for this, Zhang Tianyuan admires him. (To be continued......)
