Chapter 926: Paving the Way
PS: Today's first update, please support more if you have a ticket, thank you.
"What's going on......"
After half a ring, Curator Jiang muttered in confusion: "Hallucination? ”
"Not an illusion."
After all, after experiencing the Holy Tao Cup and the White Jade Essence, Wang Guan's resistance was already very high, and at this time, he also came to his senses and realized that his ability really lived up to his expectations.
Seeing the different phases of the stone cup, Wang Guan felt that such a magical thing must be a rare treasure, and it didn't matter whether it was the legendary Holy Grail or not.
At this time, the others thought the same way, and after coming back to their senses, everyone's eyes suddenly glowed with a burning light, as if they couldn't melt the cup.
"Wang Guan ......"
In an instant, Zhou Lao stood up and said excitedly: "Quickly bring something and go with me." ”
"Ugh!"
Wang Guan blinked, couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "Old Zhou, where do you want to go?" ”
"Nonsense, of course it's a research lab." Zhou Lao was surprised: "Study what kind of material the cup is, how can you turn the water into this shape......"
"It's easy, it's not in a hurry."
At this time, Qian Lao was still calmer, he reached out and picked up the cup, continued to sniff the liquid, and after feeling that there was no special smell, he poured the liquid again, and then carefully examined the situation in the cup.
After looking at it for a moment, Qian Lao said thoughtfully: "I think there should be something wrong with the dark red substance in the cup." ”
"If there is a problem, just take it and test it." Zhou Laoxing said: "There is nothing abnormal, but as soon as it is integrated into the water, such a wonderful change occurs, such a thing is unheard of, and it is of great research value......
"Wrong, not research value."
At this time, Qian Lao shook his head slightly: "It's cultural value." ”
"Cultural value ......" Zhou Lao was stunned, and then reacted. Surprised: "Ling Xi, you mean, this thing is really possible to be the Holy Grail?" ”
"It's not possible, it's the Holy Grail." Qian Lao's eyes flashed lightly and said, "If it wasn't for the Holy Grail, how could it have such a magical amorph?" ”
In an instant, everyone groaned slightly, and they also understood the meaning of Qian Lao's words. It doesn't matter if it's a real Holy Grail or not, the important thing is that after seeing what happened just now, there must be many people who believe that it is the legendary Holy Grail.
In this way, the value of things is very different.
Those present are people who understand. Naturally, I know how much influence the Holy Grail has in the West, just like the heirloom jade seal in the minds of the Chinese, it is a deified item and its value is immeasurable.
If the news spreads, the Holy See may not admit that it is the legendary Holy Grail out of caution, or for the sake of respect, but the rich and rich will certainly be moved.
Thinking of this, Curator Jiang breathed shortly. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, mainly because he didn't open his mouth. Even if he is the director of the Forbidden City, but in front of two old-timers. Be a generation shorter, too. I felt that I couldn't speak, so after thinking about going back, I quickly reported this to my superiors, and I must ......
How. Director Jiang didn't have a specific idea, anyway, just report it according to the facts, and then naturally have a headache from the superiors. Think of it this way. He also felt much more relaxed, and couldn't help but speak: "Old Qian, if this thing is really the Holy Grail, then what are you going to do with it?" ”
"What else can I do, of course, I collect it myself." Zhou Lao smiled: "The thing was found by Wang Guan, this is his chance, is there anyone else who can't grab it?" ”
"It's not enough to grab it hard, but Director Jiang is right, this matter really needs to be thought through." While speaking, Qian Lao pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Wang Guan, I plan to set up a museum recently. ”
"What?"
For a moment, Wang Guan was stunned, a little puzzled, mainly because Qian Laoyan jumped too far, which made him a little confused. It's good to talk about the Holy Grail in a good way, why do you talk about museums all of a sudden?
"Ling Xi, have you figured it out?"
Zhou Lao knew something about it, and suddenly smiled: "Wang Guan, you don't know, after seeing Brother Confucius establish a museum, he also has this idea, and he has been thinking about it for the past few days, but he didn't expect that he has finally made up his mind now." ”
"That's a good thing." Wang nodded in agreement, after all, Qian Lao's collection is very rich, and it is more than enough to set up a museum. However, he still didn't understand what the establishment of the museum had to do with the Holy Grail.
"It's a good thing indeed." Qian Lao smiled: "However, after the establishment of the museum, how to attract everyone's attention is a difficult thing." ”
"Ah......h
At the right time, Wang Guan seemed to understand a little: "Qian always wants to use this holy grail as an eye-catching signboard? ”
"No, not just the Holy Grail."
However, Wang Guan underestimated Qian Lao's ambition, only to see him shake his head and smile: "Your treasure trove also hides a lot of good things, the so-called solo happiness is not as good as public happiness, rather than hiding them in the treasure trove for self-appreciation, it is better to contribute together." I'll plan an exhibition hall to display your stuff. ”
"What!"
Hearing this, Wang Guan was shocked again: "Old Qian, this ......"
"This and this."
At this time, Zhou Lao said with great interest: "Wang Guan, Ling Xi is right, your things are all treasures of the nation and masterpieces of the sages. A person collects and appreciates, it is too unique, and now it is rare for Ling Xi to be willing to contribute the collection to set up a museum, when will you wait until you don't take the opportunity to mix sand? ”
"First enclose a site as a special area, and then slowly and gradually encroach on it. And then in another twenty or thirty years, Ling Xi will definitely not be able to escape the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, and then you will have another dove to occupy the magpie's nest......"
While speaking, Zhou Lao said bewildermently: "How good it is to earn a large museum for nothing." ”
knew that Zhou Lao was joking, but for a while, Wang Guan thought about it and was slightly moved, knowing that Qian Lao was paving the way for himself. And it's not just as simple as paving the road, it's also protecting the voyage.
The so-called sin of the husband is guilty of it. This is an ancient precept that has been handed down for thousands of years, and it has some reference significance until now. As a party concerned, Wang Guan naturally knows how rare and expensive the things he collects. Each one is a priceless treasure that is easily coveted.
With the passage of time, the number of rare treasures has also increased, and Wang Guan has gradually felt the pressure, so recently, he has not consciously restrained himself, and the number of shots has become less and less.
Qian Lao was observant, so he naturally understood Wang Guan's concerns, and he was also planning to solve his worries. Setting up a museum and publishing everything is really the best solution.
However, there are pros and cons to this method, and the pros and cons are not to be said, things are completely exposed to the public, and no one will dare to make any more ideas. Just like the major museums in the world, even if there are management negligence, internal and external collusion, theft of collections and other security problems, but no one dares to touch the real treasures.
Even if it is moved, it will not be sold, because it is known to be the collection of a large museum, and under normal circumstances, no one will want to buy stolen goods that do not see the light of day. After all, there is no point in buying it, it is impossible to invite people to watch and show off, otherwise if you show off the news a little, it is estimated that the police will come to the door.
The essence of the rich collecting things is to show off, or financial investment, and it is too risky to buy famous treasures, and this kind of thankless thing must not be many people are willing to do. There is no market demand, even if they know that things are valuable, thieves and thieves will not touch this mold.
Therefore, after announcing the things to the public, Wang Guan should be able to sleep peacefully.
Of course, there are two sides to everything, and there are pros and cons. After publishing something to the world, there are many benefits, but from another point of view, it is also a bad thing. Because whether it is Chinese or foreign, for museum things, whether you are a national museum or a private museum, everyone has recognized things as public property.
The National Museum will not say much, it must be the property of the public, and whoever makes up his mind will find death. But in a private museum, the things in it should be private property, and it is his freedom to deal with it. However, the public does not think so, and they must take it for granted that the things in the museum belong to the public, and even the owner has no right to dispose of them.
In other words, one day Wang Guan is short of money and wants to sell a treasure. When the news was revealed, he must have been pointed out by thousands of people and was on the cusp. We have to face the supervision of public opinion all the time, and this is the biggest drawback.
At this time, Qian Lao analyzed the advantages and disadvantages clearly, and asked Wang Guan to think clearly before making a decision.
"Don't think about it."
Wang Guan weighed the pros and cons a little, and immediately made a decision: "Just follow your old idea." ”
"No regrets?"
Qian Lao chuckled: "Think about it again, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." ”
"There's nothing to think about."
Wang Guan said calmly: "You can also see that I feel hot when I hold those things myself, and the pressure is too great, I don't know when it will crush me." Now that there is a chance to solve the problem, what is there to hesitate about. Besides, you are also very right, it is better to be happy alone, it is originally a national treasure, and I am only responsible for finding it back, and it cannot be said that it is my private property......"
Wang Guan said this from the bottom of his heart, otherwise it would be impossible to easily lend things to the master of Mid-Mountain and the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain. He's transferring the risk and letting someone else help share the pressure.
It's good to solve the big trouble, and as for not being able to sell to others, it's not a problem at all. Originally, Wang Guan didn't plan to sell those rare treasures, and one day he was really short of money, so he would go to Myanmar at most, maybe go to Africa to dig diamonds.
Whether he will regret it in the future Wang Guan doesn't know, anyway, he knows that he definitely doesn't regret it now. Wang Guan felt that his vision was not so long-term, just take care of the present, and talk about it later.
In this regard, Qian Lao nodded slightly, and this matter was finalized. (To be continued......)
