Chapter 893: Diverting to Heavenly Harbor
Compared with other shipwreck cultural relics salvaged in the sea, these more than 10,000 cultural relics can be said to be very few, but each one is a masterpiece, far from the tens of thousands of foreign trade commodities salvaged in the shipwreck.
Not to mention the bronze heavy vessels, just the porcelain, the most eye-catching Ru kiln gooseneck bottle can be described as a national treasure level cultural relics, in addition to this Ru kiln porcelain, the more than 3,000 pieces of porcelain, almost more than 2,000 pieces are the official kiln porcelain of various dynasties, its delicacy, can be called a fine cultural relic.
The rest of the folk kiln porcelain is not far from the official kiln, which has the famous Cizhou kiln, Yaozhou kiln, and even Longquan kiln porcelain in the Song Dynasty.
Although it is a private kiln, the workmanship of some of these porcelains has reached or surpassed that of official kiln porcelain.
Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the quality of porcelain fired by the private kiln once exceeded that of the official kiln, so that some court supplies were also produced by the private kiln.
It can be said that these more than 3,000 pieces of porcelain are enough to make any person who loves porcelain crazy, and it definitely includes some of the kiln porcelains that are familiar today.
This is true for porcelain, not to mention the most collectible calligraphy and painting works that represent the splendid culture of China for 5,000 years.
Even if there are a large number of gold, silver and jade, each piece is very exquisite, the ancient jade pendants of various dynasties, as well as the ornaments made of gold and silver, are beautiful, full of a kind of ancient atmosphere, enough to evoke people's memories of ancient times.
Each of these more than 10,000 cultural relics can be called a fine product, and its value and rarity are almost far beyond all the unearthed cultural relics of a large tomb, and the cultural relics of some shipwrecks in the sea are far from being compared with these cultural relics.
Folk kiln porcelain and the like may be exported, but calligraphy and painting type antiques, national heavy objects, and bronze ware that can only be used by the royal family and nobles will never be exported.
The cleaning and classification of more than 10,000 pieces of cultural relics also made the old men more angry about the small island country, and they also regretted the loss of cultural relics in China.
They were very grateful to Fang You for being able to salvage the cultural relics left behind by the criminals of these small island countries, and when Fang You had recovered countless fine cultural relics from small island countries in the past, they also felt that Fang You seemed to be changing his way to increase his fame.
But now it seems that Fang You is really making his own contribution to the loss of cultural relics in China, Fang You can use two small island national treasures in exchange for many Chinese cultural relics, if they are in the same position as Fang You, can they give up the two national treasures and exchange them for some Chinese cultural relics whose value cannot be compared with national treasures, Fang You's courage, they can't compare at all.
Compared with Fang You, what kind of contribution they have made, they feel a little guilty, and they are not qualified to comment on any behavior of Fang You, a national hero.
After hearing that Fang You is going to open a museum, put these cultural relics into the exhibition, and want everyone to experience and learn the splendid Chinese culture, they expressed their very support, and now some museums have become money-making machines, and the existence of scenic spots in general has lost the meaning of museums.
More than 10,000 pieces of cultural relics, the old man and his many staff, it also took two days to clean up and protect them and classify them.
Looking at this piece of extremely exquisite cultural relics, representing the 5,000 years of Chinese culture, the old men suddenly felt a sense of achievement and pride, for these cultural relics were cleaned up through their hands, and they were proud of being Chinese.
On the night of the cleanup, Fang You specially asked the chef to cook a rich meal, and thanked everyone for their help at the largest luxury restaurant on the Qingyou.
Several old men looked at each other and smiled, and some people joked that they didn't want a penny, if they learned about the cultural relics on the Qingyou, I am afraid that other people would have to squeeze in if they put money upside down.
After Chu Lao informed a certain department of national cultural relics of Fang You's consent, the senior level of the department quickly sent a director to secretly sign an agreement with Fang You.
When the agreement was signed, Chu Lao was not present, in his opinion, it was better to see the cultural relics in the cabin if he had the spare time to meet others.
In the past, when facing others, they were government officials with their nostrils facing the sky, and when they saw Fang You, their posture was very low, and their expressions were full of compliments.
Fang You's identity, he naturally knew that even if Fang You refused this time, then they wouldn't dare to play any tricks on the surface, at the opening ceremony of the Longlin Foundation, those big names were not vegetarians at all.
And even if Fang You's own economic strength and social status have made them dare not act rashly, the title of national hero is not on their crown, but spontaneously given by the people, as a state department, they do not give up the cultural relics, and Fang You is willing to give up two small island national treasures in exchange for countless Chinese cultural relics, in the hearts of the people, Fang You is more popular than their cultural relics department.
What's more, the cultural relics salvaged this time, once announced, will have a huge impact, and can make Fang You's title of national hero very stable, if they can appear in the major media and participate in Fang You's salvage work, it is also extremely important to their cultural relics department, so this director does not dare to have any arrogance at all, in case he messes up this incident, then his job will not be saved.
Fang You took a general look at the agreement, and after not finding any loopholes and traps, he signed his name and promised to add the name of a certain department of national cultural relics when the salvaged cultural relics were announced.
The cultural relics official said that he would vigorously support Fang You's museum construction work, and when selecting the site, he would instruct the local cultural relics department and the government to completely handle this matter, and Fang You's mention of the Buddha relics in Famen Temple has also been negotiated with the relevant departments, and it will be realized on the day of the enshrinement and exhibition this month, of course, it also includes the compensation they gave to Fang You, and the shipwreck cultural relics salvaged in some sea areas of the country are completely owned by Fang You.
After the agreement was signed, the official congratulated Fang You on salvaging so many precious cultural relics, and Fang You smiled and expressed his gratitude to him.
After all the cultural relics were sorted, Chu Lao asked Fang You if he had chosen a location to open the museum.
Fang You nodded and told Old Chu that he would choose a place in Tianhai as the address of the museum.
Tianhai is an international metropolis, and its popularity is not far from that of the capital, not to mention, this is the starting point and base camp of Fangyou's business.
No matter how strong the Longyou Auction House is, its headquarters is also in Tianhai, and the beautiful jewelry in the small island country is also preparing to move its headquarters to Tianhai, and the Longlin Foundation is also established here, so it is the most suitable choice to use Tianhai as the address of the museum.
These cultural relics that have been cleaned up and protected will be stored in the treasure house of Longyou Auction House before the museum is completed.
As the treasure house of the Longyou Auction House of Tianhai Headquarters, its cultural relics protection measures are extremely strict, and it has an environment suitable for the storage of cultural relics.
For Fang You's decision, Chu Lao expressed his support, and Fang You obtained these 10,000 precious cultural relics in this salvage, plus the many fine antiques brought back from the small island country, which is enough to support a museum.
In other words, except for some large museums, the exhibits in those local museums cannot be compared with the precious cultural relics obtained by Fang You in terms of quantity and quality.
Although it is not as good as the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of cultural relics in large museums, but the few rare and magical things that Fang You has obtained are not found in other museums, such as the Venus Dragon Inkstone, the Medicine Master Glass Buddha, each of which is enough to be called a national treasure.
If you put them all out, then it is enough to attract everyone's attention, after all, their magic makes people who have been in the antique industry for most of their lives can't help but feel shocked, and the feelings of ordinary people can be imagined.
After discussing with Chu Lao, Fang You decided to sail the Qingyou from Shenzhen to Tianhai Port, which is close at hand, and will also provide great convenience for the transportation of cultural relics on the ship, and this decision has been unanimously agreed by all the old men.
They did not leave, it is a great honor to participate in the cleaning of cultural relics, they have to escort the cultural relics to their destination, and more importantly, they were only cleaning and protecting before, and they did not have time to enjoy the demeanor of these precious cultural relics.
Now that the clean-up is completed and there is nothing to do, it is the best time to view the cultural relics and exchange the knowledge of cultural relics and antiques.
When these old men sat around the room and exchanged and appreciated these cultural relics, Fang You and Ye Yuqing also joined in, while Liu Jingjing, who had never been interested in antiques, pulled a few beauties who had just graduated from archaeology university and played on the cruise ship together.
This kind of good opportunity to improve the level of antique knowledge, how can Fang You miss it, for Fang You's joining, several old men also nodded with satisfaction, to achieve such an achievement, to be able to not be arrogant or impatient, continue to absorb knowledge, very rare.
When the cruise ship was heading towards Tianhai Port, some pervasive media reporters had already flocked to Tianhai Port, and as long as it was related to Fang You's news, they would go crazy.
Because as long as it is news about Fang You, their ratings will skyrocket, and the newspapers of the day will also be sold out.
This time it is related to the salvage of the shipwreck, which makes them even more excited, this is definitely another big news, even if it is groundless, they have to go to see it, just like the Longyou auction, if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
