Mr. Ma, who was the first private museum in China, also called Xi Qing and was willing to exchange some of his views on private museums. Pen&Fun&Pavilion.fo

Xi Qing took Wu Lisa over the next day, and had a meal with her, and after chatting with Mr. Ma, Xi Qing got a lot of advice, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

Xi Qing's museum, not only is the sword museum, Xi Qing's calligraphy and painting exhibition hall is also a gathering of famous artists, not only has a series of Qing court paintings, but also after Xi Qing's antique friends heard that Xi Qing was going to open a museum, some people also sent his subordinate Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduantu", and also sent a few works of famous artists of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which greatly enriched the collection of calligraphy and painting exhibition hall.

And Xi Qing has a killer feature in his hands, that is, the remaining seven sketches of Picasso, although in recent years, domestic collectors will also take some oil paintings by well-known foreign painters, but the works of top masters such as Van Gogh and Picasso, Xi Qing is absolutely unprecedented and unique.

With these collections, and when some departments exchanged collections between the Longfeng Chengrui Museum and the Guimet Museum, they intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the preciousness of Xi Qing's collections, which was already hot on the Internet at this time, and many collectors called from all over the country to ask about Xi Qing's opening time.

Xi Qing also took advantage of this fire to warm up.

Now there are a lot of cultural relics in the collection, counting Lisa's sword collection in the morning, there are more than 3,000 pieces, compared with those large museums with tens of thousands of fine collections, it is naturally much worse, but when it comes to value and heritage, this dragon and phoenix museum is much stronger.

In terms of area, Xi Qing's Dragon and Phoenix Chengrui Museum, although it is not as good as the newly built national museum, is not much better than the general national museum, and even surpasses.

In the previous planning, Xi Qing according to the classification of antiques, a total of 6 exhibition halls are ready to open, namely the calligraphy and painting museum, the ceramics museum, the sword museum, the bronze museum, the antique wood art hall and the miscellaneous exhibition hall, as far as the current situation is concerned, more than half of the exhibition halls can be opened to the public.

More than 20,000 square meters of museum area, the application of only more than half of the point, according to Xi Qing's idea, the calligraphy and painting museum now lacks antiques such as the law, steles, ink and other categories of antiques, can be opened, but the later stage also needs to supplement a large number of related objects.

The ceramic museum has a few pieces of Yuan blue and white as the treasure of the town hall, as well as the precious porcelain of the Tang and Song dynasties, which will definitely set off an uproar, of course, there are very few ceramics in the future, and the problem of breaking the dynasty exists, and Xi Qing still needs to go to the major auction venues to supplement in the future.

And it can be regarded as a rich collection, and the ones that can be taken should be the Sword Pavilion and the Bronze Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion is more than 1,000 swords supported by Wu Lisa, and as for the Bronze Pavilion, Xi Qing has a three-legged bronze tripod in his hand, as well as chimes, and many bronze musical instruments, which were given together with more than 200 bronzes.

These had made Xi Qing invite several bronze appraisal experts, and he stayed up all night for several nights to complete the classification of these cultural relics and write explanations.

And the matter of formulating the display cabinet and arranging the bronze pavilion, Xi Qing is also busy now, although there is Wu Lisa's help, it has been several days, and Xi Qing has not closed his eyes very much.

Wu Lisha was not idle during this time, she was forced by Xi Qing to eat and drink everywhere, and ran all the travel agencies in the capital, large and small, and spent a lot of thought, and finally included the museum in the route of the major travel agencies.

You must know that if Xi Qing does not follow the path of Mr. Ma's membership system, he must deal with these travel agencies, otherwise the museum's monthly expenses alone can make Xi Qing's face green.

Now the staffing of the museum is basically complete, there is a director, Xi Qing is naturally the director, there are two executive deputy directors, one of them is Wu Lisha, and the other is a researcher invited from the Palace Museum, who has a lot of experience in the management of the museum.

Wu Lisha also recruited more than a dozen fresh graduates majoring in museums from Beijing University, and almost all the students who graduated this year were fooled, and I believe that under the leadership of the deputy curator, they will soon be able to mature.

Coupled with the security guards recruited earlier, as well as more than a dozen young and beautiful female docents, Xi Qing now has dozens of employees under his command, so the museum's monthly expenses are also a lot of money.

The salaries of dozens of people cost hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, not counting the repair of museums and the maintenance costs of various cultural relics.

It's not that Xi Qing can't afford this money, but he relies on private money to support it, so it is better to dedicate the museum to the country, and only by balancing income and expenditure is the correct development direction of private museums.

Therefore, Xi Qing wants to cooperate with travel agencies, don't underestimate those travel agencies, I don't know how many attractions rely on them to survive, although every time you bring a group of people to travel agencies, you have to get a commission, it's better than not making a penny empty, right?

Xi Qing's current pricing for travel agencies is 50 for domestic adults, free for children under 1.2 meters, 10 yuan for children under 1.5 meters, free for seniors over 60 years old, and half price for military discharge certificates and active military military certificates.

For foreigners, it is 100 yuan a ticket, which is not to blame Xi Qing's black heart, he is also in line with international standards.

Because when Xi Qing was at the Guimet Museum in Paris a few months ago, he saw that those foreigners sold tickets like this, and foreign tourists had a ticket of 10 euros, and the synthetic RMB was almost more than 100.

Xi Qing's attraction to foreigners, the biggest gimmick is the counter of Picasso's works, but I don't see the head of Picasso's old man on the wall outside the museum now, which occupies a whole wall.

Xi Qing's understanding of this matter is to open a museum for Chinese and make money from foreigners!

…… According to Wu Lisha's idea, there are major museums in the capital this time, and Xi Qing has sent invitations, that is, the three or four hundred private museums in China, Xi Qing has sent invitations to the past, and they are also private museums, and they can also exchange experiences.

And some well-known collectors and appraisal experts in various provinces in China have also received invitations from Xi Qing, which is the idea of another deputy curator, this group of people has a high reputation in the collection world, and they have a good relationship, and they are not afraid that no one will come to the door to "exchange" the collection in the future.

After some preparations, the opening of the museum was finally ushered in.

On the opening day, Xi Qing wore an old-fashioned robe.

Since eight o'clock in the morning, there have been people who have received posts to come to the door one after another, and when it comes to this time, Xi Qing has no time to sit inside to accompany the guests, but he and Wu Lisa have come to the door to greet the friends who came to cheer today.

Xi Qing spent a lot of money for this opening ceremony, and all the guests from other provinces who sent invitations, as long as they were confirmed, were all airfare and accommodation, and for this alone, Xi Qing threw out millions.

As the first domestic private museum to collect Picasso's works, it has the legendary "Dragon and Phoenix Sword" that has been proven, the Shang and Zhou Dynasty heavy vessels that surpass the Chunhua Dading, the Longshan black pottery with thousands of years of culture, and the Guiguzi Xiashan blue and white porcelain jar, which are rare treasures even in the National Museum, make everyone look forward to it, who cares about that meal?

Xi Qing was excited when he saw it, and he was helpless at the moment, so he could only let people notify the hotel, and the banquet would be held later, and he walked into the museum.

When you enter the entrance of the museum, you will find the conference room on the left, and after passing through a short corridor on the right, you will find the official exhibition hall of the museum.

About three meters away from the gate of the exhibition hall, there is a display cabinet that is exceptionally exquisitely made, about one meter and a half high, and one meter below, it is made of fine large-leaf sandalwood, and on top, it is a sealed bulletproof glass cover.

At different angles in the display case, there are also several spotlights, and the objects aimed at are the treasures of several town halls of Xi Qing, a dragon and phoenix, and an auspicious sword.

Next to it is the Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white porcelain jar.

The delicate glass display case and the hollow crystal base all set off the preciousness of this porcelain.

The theme picture of the porcelain jar depicts the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi who agreed to go down the mountain to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi who were trapped by Yan State, under the repeated request of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi State.

On the porcelain jar, Guiguzi sat in the car pulled by a tiger and a leopard, leaning forward slightly, his demeanor was calm, extraordinary as a fairy, showing the demeanor of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, and the two foot soldiers in front of the car held spears to open the way.

A young general was heroic, riding on horseback, holding a battle flag, writing the word "Ghost Valley", and Su Dai rode behind the palace. A group of people and mountains, trees and stones constitute a spectacular and beautiful landscape character painting.

The whole blue and white pattern is colorful, the picture is full, sparse and dense, the primary and secondary are distinct, it is integrated, the character portrayal is smooth and natural, full of charm, the mountain and stone are dyed heartily, the pen is fine, it is perfect.

Although there are not many characters on the porcelain jar screen, but everyone's expression is very rich and delicate, even in the later Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, it is rare to see such fine porcelain, and most of the people in the field are connoisseurs, so they naturally know the rarity and preciousness of this porcelain.

After seeing this porcelain jar, everyone in the exhibition hall was speechless, if according to the international auction market, the price of this Guiguzi Yuan blue and white is probably more than 400 million RMB.

First the dragon and phoenix sword, then the rare jade carving ornaments, and now I see this absolutely priceless treasure of the Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, people for Xi Qing's museum, in their hearts have given a positioning, it is definitely a high-end route.

The ceramics exhibition hall can be said to be the highest market value in Xi Qing's collection, only Guiguzi down the mountain and the fish-pattern blue and white porcelain jar, the value is about 500 million, not to mention the porcelain of the complete five famous kilns of "even if there is a lot of wealth, it is not as good as Jun porcelain".

Before the opening of the Xi Qing Museum, the Beijing Auction House once brought an appraiser to the Xi Qing Ceramics Pavilion, which was worth more than 1 billion RMB, and it was still a conservative valuation.

Of course, this estimate was made after that auction in London.

Because in the past two months, the world auction world has changed dramatically, and the price of Chinese artworks, especially ceramics, has soared, and the more than 200 pieces of porcelain from the mid to late Qing Dynasty that Silberg gave to Xi Qing have also been assessed to a market price of more than 200 million.

Xi Qing also sent an invitation to Silberg, but Silberg did not come to Xi Qing's opening ceremony on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Xi Qing can also imagine it, and it is estimated that this will be regretted by Silberg. In terms of value, the 10 or so sketches of Picasso can't catch up with the porcelain he traded, although Silberg still has many fine porcelain, but the porcelain of the five famous kilns of the Yuan Qinghua and the Song Dynasty was looted by Xi Qing.

As for Xi Qing's other pavilions, the auction house also evaluated it, although the bronze tripod cannot be traded in China, but if it goes abroad, the price will be at least more than 200 million.

Counting Xi Qing's other bronzes, two jade carving ornaments, and those calligraphy and paintings, the auction house gave a total estimate of 3.5 billion yuan, plus the land and architectural value of the museum itself, the total price of this private museum should be about 3.7 billion.

Not to mention, after completing the appraisal at that time, even Xi Qing was shocked, you must know that with a net worth of 3.7 billion RMB, he is richer than those big stars in the entertainment industry.

Of course, being rich is nothing, and the social status of artists is stronger than those celebrities, regardless of politics or business.

Because maybe one day you'll use yourself.

Xi Qing is not only a collector, but also a sculptor, an architect, and an internationally influential genius artist.

Now it is 3.7 billion, but the value of antique collection is growing with time, and it may be 5.8 billion in a few years, 10.8 billion is not necessarily, and when the time comes, there will definitely be a place for Xi Qing in the Forbes rich ranking.

In this rich list of Forbes, political influence is also very important, and Xi Qing's popularity accumulated in Western countries is very popular with Western countries, making him seem very close to this list.

In addition, if the operation of the museum goes smoothly, like a leading position in the private economy, Xi Qing can be involved, and he can also be a private leader.

Xi Qing watched the prosperity of the museum, and used the money earned from the travel agency to continue to search for treasures in various places.

In addition, Xi Qing also helped Bian Xuejing reap the success of the Battle Bar Mask Man, and continued to record other programs.

The broadcast of Ode to Joy 2 landed on each David TV two months later, and the ratings of the results were also red, after a new value evaluation, those cultural relics successfully appreciated to 50 billion, Xi Qing smiled and made an evaluation of himself, people like himself should be invisible rich, right?

Although I have a lot of assets, I am low-key, which is what I have been pursuing! (To be continued.) )
