The curator of the grub is also a little fond of propaganda, and when he saw that Abe Masahiro was very curious standing in front of such a colorful bicycle, he couldn't help but explain to him.

But after finishing speaking, when I looked at this Abe Masakuan again, it was completely confusing, and I knew that I was completely talking about chickens and ducks, so I simply stopped explaining the origin of these exhibits to him.

After all, for a rough person like Abe Masahiro, no matter how much you tell him, he can't understand what is the use of you collecting such things, so it's useless to talk about it, and it's better not to waste that kind of tongue.

Abe Masahiro was also quite embarrassed at this time, of course he could see the attitude of the curator of the grub, so he simply stopped standing in front of those exhibits and pretending to be B, and when he stood down, he was even more timid.

So he simply walked inside again: "Curator Grub, you should give me an overview of this art museum!" ”

"Well, let me introduce you to our Fukuoka Museum of Art......

Director Grub took Abe Masahiro to go inside, but Jin Muchen, who was following them, felt very regretful, Abe Masahiro didn't want to hear the details of this art museum, but he still wanted to hear it.

Abe Masahiro doesn't understand, but he can understand it, Abe Masahiro doesn't understand, he understands!

It's a pity that on this occasion, he is not the protagonist, so he can only follow the footsteps of those people and continue to go inside.

"Our museum was built in 1999 and is mainly focused on collecting East Asian cultural artworks from the south of Mongolia, and it is also mainly aimed at modern art. In fact, the most important thing is our modern art from Japan, and although our museum also collects all kinds of antique artifacts, the main collection is mainly art paintings from the era, and the main target is the works of artists in the Kyushu region. Now our art museum covers an area of about 9,100 square meters, which is divided into five exhibition areas, of which the special exhibition area is open to the public, that is, the A-D area, the Japanese painters' meeting room, and the small exhibition room, as well as the corporate collection exhibition room, and the ancient art exhibition room, which are open to the public from time to time......"

The Fukuoka Museum of Art was built from scratch by the director of the grub, so when he introduced the museum, he didn't even need to look at the materials to make it catchy.

Abe Zhengkuan listened carefully, but he wouldn't know that Jin Muchen, who was hiding behind him, was listening more carefully.

Especially when he heard about the corporate collection exhibition room and the ancient art exhibition room, Jin Muchen pricked up his ears, he followed the footsteps of Abe Masakuan and the grub in this art museum, and he had already visited a large area.

However, in these areas, he didn't see anything he wanted to see at all, and he was still a little strange in his heart before, even if this art museum is a place that specializes in collecting secondary and second works, is it possible that they really don't collect any antiques that can really be called cultural relics?

Now that he heard this grub's introduction, he finally understood, and the feelings of this guy are all collected in the back of a few exhibition halls.

And the grub's words, not only did he hear the point, but Abe Masahiro also heard the point, what small exhibition hall in front of him, and the Japanese painters' meeting room, people didn't pay attention to it at all, Abe Masakuan focused on the same as him, all on the corporate collection exhibition room, and the ancient art exhibition room.

"Oh? Curator of the Grub, what do you mean by the corporate collection exhibition room and the ancient art exhibition room of your art museum? ”

Abe Zhengkuan asked this question, but after asking the point, Jin Muchen couldn't help but want to kiss this guy happily when he heard it, because this was also the question he was most concerned about.

"Well, this corporate collection exhibition room is actually some of the paintings that some large companies in Fukuoka or Kyushu usually collect......"

When the grub said this, Abe Masahiro suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Oh! In this way, these works should be quite precious, right? Curator Grub, can you tell me about what these works are? What is the approximate age of the collection? ”

Hearing Abe Masahiro's question, the look on the old man's face was a little embarrassed: "Section Chief Abe, I don't need to see the introduction of this work." Because there are many companies that are not willing to announce it at all, I can only tell you that a considerable part of these works are very precious works, probably in the seventies and eighties of the last century, some companies in our Kyushu area bought back from abroad. ”

Hearing this, Abe Masakuan's face was solemn, although he didn't know what kind of treasure the old man grub was talking about, but from his attitude, he could see that this old man with a grub should attach great importance to those works.

And what they don't know, Jin Muchen, who has been hiding behind them, can't hide his ecstasy after hearing such news, if he shows his true identity at this time, it is estimated that people can know his mood at this time just by looking at the expression on his face.

The paintings collected by the Japanese in the seventies and eighties of the last century, they don't need to be thought about at all, they must be those famous Western paintings collected by Japanese companies when Japan's economy was at its most prosperous.

In the seventies and eighties of the last century, before the Plaza Accord came into effect, it was the time when Japan's economy was at its most prosperous, a small island country, relying on advanced mechanical processing, the electronics industry, surpassed the former Soviet Union, and beat all the advanced countries of the European Union now, becoming the world's second largest economy after the United States.

At that time, Japan was not a country that relied entirely on the real estate economy, but they had a variety of advanced manufacturing industries, and Japan at that time was able to export a large number of industrial products every year, earning a large amount of foreign exchange from all over the world.

At that time, the rich people in Japan could really be called the kind of money that had nowhere to spend, they not only bought real estate all over the world, and all kinds of mineral resources, but also extended their hands to various countries, all kinds of art, antiques, cultural relics and so on, needless to say, at that time they didn't know how much they bought back.

At that time, in the Western art world, it can be said that the most popular were these Japanese nouveau riche, these rich Japanese not only swept away those antique relics of various eras, but also modern and contemporary Western artworks, especially Western oil paintings that were easy to carry and realize, were highly sought after by these Japanese.

At that time, those Western art intermediaries were also very black-hearted, often bringing in paintings by unknown artists, and then fooling those Japanese people to buy them, but the Japanese were also willing to buy a lot of junk oil paintings.

Of course, not all Japanese people will buy that kind of garbage oil paintings, for example, some Japanese companies at that time were very shrewd, in order to deal with the risk of a possible economic downturn, or in order to cope with exchange rate changes, they often exported a large number of goods, in exchange for foreign exchange, and did not directly exchange these foreign exchange for yen.

They will choose to go to the major well-known galleries in Europe and the United States, or those large-scale antique auctions, to bid on antiques or oil paintings.

At that time, there were many well-known European painters' works, all of which fell into the hands of the Japanese at that time, such as the famous French painter Monet's water lily series, several of which were bought back to Japan by the Japanese, and several of Van Gogh's works, the most famous of which is of course Van Gogh's masterpiece "Sunflowers", Van Gogh painted a total of more than a dozen sunflowers, one of which was bought back by the Japanese.

But then the guys in Europe, after learning about the behavior of Japanese companies, gathered together again and began to calculate these Japanese.

For example, some well-known painters' not very good works are taken out to fool the Japanese, or in the auction in which the Japanese participate, they deliberately find an excuse to raise the price, anyway, the acquisition cost of these Japanese companies is raised a lot.

It is said that before the outbreak of the economic crisis in Japan, the Japanese bought more than 10 billion dollars of various cultural relics and works of art from Europe and the United States, and the most expensive of them were the oil paintings they bought at a high price at that time.

Later, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, when many Japanese wanted to monetize the oil paintings they had auctioned off from Europe and the United States, they tragically discovered that they had been miserable by the bastards in Europe and the United States, and the oil paintings they bought back at a high price were not worth much at all and could not be sold.

Even if there are some genuine works that are bought at a high price, the price will be greatly discounted because they are not the masterpieces of those well-known painters, or the pinnacle of work.

Later, some people couldn't survive and simply sold the oil paintings at a low price, while some individuals or enterprises with strong anti-risk ability simply locked the oil paintings into the underground vaults of major Japanese banks.

A few years ago, some European and American art media conducted a survey, and they calculated that there are about 1.4 billion US dollars worth of Western oil paintings locked in the vaults of major banks in Japan, and as for other works of art, it is impossible to count.

Oil paintings worth more than $1.4 billion, how many paintings do they have to be? This shows how much money the Japanese spent indiscriminately back then.

After entering the 2,000 years, some Japanese companies and individuals have also changed their strategies, and they are no longer locking all those oil paintings in the vault, after all, locking them in the vault will not bring them benefits.

And those oil paintings also need to be maintained, so they simply took these oil paintings directly to some art museums or museums for exhibition, and these in the Fukuoka Art Museum should be that batch. (To be continued.) )
