Chapter 472: International Auction

In addition to the above five points, the sixth point is also particularly important, that is, the support of the law, the museum can independently bear civil liability, in case something goes wrong with the collection, the relevant departments will hold you accountable, so legal support is very important.

In addition, it should be added that the names of non-state-owned museums are generally not allowed to be titled with the words "China", "China", "State" and other words (referred to as "China" and other words).

However, there is also a special side to things, if you feel that your collection is broad and profound, can represent Chinese traditional culture, and the word "China" does not represent your museum, then you can submit an application, and the Office of the Central Committee for the Establishment of Institutions, together with the administrative department for cultural relics of the State Council, will review and approve it.

However, in general, it is difficult to approve a private museum, unless you have antiques on hand that can be rivaled.

Mr. Ma Weidu, the first private museum in China, officially opened on January 18, 1997, the name of the museum is not the beginning of the word "country", but called the Guanfu Museum of Classical Art.

Don't the above two people think of a museum name that starts with "China"? That's definitely not, hang the word "China", how face-saving is that? The problem is that they can't approve it at all, they can't do it.

Han Chong continued to look down, the previous outline, the Ministry of Culture and Xijing City are roughly similar, but in terms of the detailed rules and documents that need to be submitted, Xijing City is much more detailed. The museum regulations put forward clear requirements for the director of the museum, that is, the director must have a bachelor's degree or above, and more than two years of experience in museum management.

"Grandma's, apart from state-owned museums, who has experience in private individuals? This simply doesn't make sense. ”

When he saw this, Han Chong frowned slightly. scolded very unpleasantly.

If this museum can be organized, then Han Chong is definitely the director of the museum, but more than two years of museum management work experience is stuck with Han Chong, is it possible that he has to hire someone to be the director?

Bi Yue, who had been sitting beside Han Chong and studying these regulations with him, gently touched Han Chong and said, "Han Chong, what are you anxious about?" Isn't there an explanation at the end of this, and then look down......"

"Huh? Or those who have expertise in a related field can also become museum directors. That's pretty much ......."

With this article, it is much easier to do, Han Chong is in the jade industry, and now he has the title of Jade King, and he has a certain prestige in the Jiangcheng antique circle, which should be regarded as a specialty in related fields, that is to say, he can serve as the curator.

The next thing is to find the address of the museum, since it is going to be done, Han Chong is not ready to rent a house to rebuild, he wants to do it in one step. Directly buy the land for construction, so that security and precautionary measures can be strengthened from the beginning.

It's just a moment and a half, let Han rush to the whole piece of land. He really doesn't have the ability to do this, and he wants a good location and a cheap price, although he has a unique eye for antiques. But for speculating on land to buy a house, Han Chong, like the old aunts who sell vegetables in the vegetable market, doesn't know anything.

But it can't stand this declaration of private museums. First of all, you have to submit the certificate of the right to use the venue, without this thing, your antiques are displayed on the road? So this house has become a top priority.

"Huh? By the way, how did you forget about it......"

Han Chong suddenly slapped his thigh, but he hit Mayor Deng Guohua's head again.

In Xijing, with the help of Mayor Deng Guohua, it is not difficult to buy a piece of land, he directly commanded it, and he can get it himself, and money is not a problem. Then, you don't have to worry about building a house.

After the house was completed, Han Chong found a blank piece of paper and began to calculate his current net worth.

If you want to apply for a private museum that starts with the word "country", the catalogue of the collection is particularly important, and there are quantitative requirements for national first-class cultural relics.

After enumerating it on the paper, Han Chong realized that he had a lot of good objects now.

According to the grading standards of the national cultural relics collection, the calligraphy and paintings of Lang Shining that were gambled on from Xianggang, including the real artifacts obtained in the treasure, as well as the porcelain of the Qingguan kiln, should all be listed as national second-class protected cultural relics.

The night pearl, the zodiac animal head, bronzes and other objects can definitely be listed as national first-class protected cultural relics.

Han Chong thought for a while, and simply listed the Guiguzi Xiashan blue and white porcelain jar that still belongs to Silberg, the white jade tiger that belongs to the Guimet Museum, and other objects.

In addition, there are Wen Wan's batch of antique swords, the coins he found in the tombs and treasures, and the swords were also written by Han Chong, which was a good thing as he said before, an exhibition hall of more than 20,000 square meters, just with Han Chong's collection, it is not enough to see at all.

However, in the early stage, Han Chong will definitely not open the entire exhibition hall, he will open the museum to a limited extent according to the actual collection, and slowly add items to it, Rome was not built in a day, and this museum must be slowly enriched.

And after the museum opens, it can also collect collections from the antique world, and the ownership of these collected collections still belongs to the original owner, Han Chong just signed an agreement with him, and then put it on display in the museum, of course, Han Chong also has to pay some fees for this.

The site of the museum has been solved, and now the problem is the number of museum collections, gentle antique swords, domestic and foreign collections combined, a total of more than 500.

Counting the dozens of antiques in Han Chong's hands, although the quantity still feels a little less, but the quality is not low, there are more than 10 pieces of national first-class protected cultural relics alone, plus a few Picasso sketches that Han Chong is going to leave behind, and it seems that the name of the museum with the prefix "country" is not shabby.

And among them, there are several large objects, such as the "elephant zun" bronze that does not belong to Han Chong, which belongs to the country's important weapons, even if some famous state-owned museums may not have such collections.

……

After sorting out this list, Han Chong dialed Xiaobai's phone. faxed the list and communicated with Xiaobai on the phone.

Because to apply for a private museum, it is also necessary to fill in the registration application, the museum's charter, the exhibition outline, the certificate of the right to use the premises, the certificate of funds, the academic certificate of the curator and the main professional and technical personnel, as well as the resume of the profession and other materials.

The registration application and the museum's charter, including the exhibition outline, are easy to handle, and there should be ready-made information at the Xijing Museum, so Mayor Deng can say hello, and Xiaobai can directly copy a copy of the same.

As for the certificate of the right to use the land for the museum site, it should not be a big problem to guarantee it in the name of the developer, as for the proof of funds. Han Chong reported his euro account to Xiaobai, and when the museum verified the capital, his millions of euros were not small.

It's just that the professional and technical personnel of this museum have academic certificates, which makes Han Chong have a little headache, and finally Xiaobai gave an idea, go to several schools in Xijing that have museum majors to recruit workers temporarily, as long as the treatment is better, this problem can also be solved.

In the end, it's Han Chong's own business. If you want to be a curator, you must have qualifications, but this is not difficult for Han Chong, so he directly asked the National Jade Association to open a certificate to prove that Han Chong is an expert in jade identification. This curator lives up to his name.

"Han Chong, what is the name of our museum?"

After the matter was almost discussed, Xiaobai finally asked this question. With Mayor Deng, the god, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the formalities or anything, but the museum must have a name, right?

"Name?"

Han Chong was stunned for a moment. He only thought about those details, but he really didn't think about the name of the museum, and the name was really difficult to come up with, because the variety of Han Chong's collection was too complicated, including ceramics, ancient paintings, bronzes and ancient swords, and it was impossible to name them according to categories.

Han Chong thought of a few names, but immediately rejected them.

"Han Chong, if not, it's called the Dragon and Phoenix Museum, it also reflects the culture of Chinese characteristics, hoping that the son will become a dragon, and the woman will become a phoenix, in our China, the dragon and phoenix are also auspicious and wishful, indicating that the museum will be inherited forever."

Bi Yue on the side saw Han Chong scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, and couldn't help but give a name.

"Dragon and phoenix? Chinese Dragon and Phoenix Museum? ”

Han Chong read it out in his mouth, feeling that it was still full of smoothness, he didn't care much about the name, and said into the microphone at the moment: "Okay, let's call it the Dragon and Phoenix Museum, it's best to add the word Chinese, if not, don't force it, then call it the Xijing Dragon and Phoenix Museum......"

"Okay, Han Chong, don't worry, this matter will have a result in three or five days, I'll call you again when I get back......"

After putting down the call to Xiaobai, Han Chong originally wanted to call Professor Kari, but after thinking about it, he couldn't seem too anxious about this matter, the meaning of strange goods is that no one has me, and others can only offer a high price if they ask for themselves.

After finishing these things, Han Chong and Bi Yue went to the restaurant downstairs to enjoy a meal for two, Xu Guang was not so good, accompanied the stars in the guest room, eating the takeaway brought by Han Chong, of course, the dishes were still good, but ...... The people we ate with were a little bit of that.

...... "Han Chong, you're late, it's okay, the auction hasn't started yet, let's hurry up and get in......"

At 9 o'clock the next morning, Han Chong took Bi Yue to the venue where the special auction of Chinese art in Paris was held.

Wen Wan had been waiting at the door for more than half an hour, and when she saw Han Chong, she grabbed him and walked inside, and gave him a number plate, which was applied for by Han Chong in advance, and for this auction number, a deposit of 100,000 euros had to be paid in advance, of course, this deposit was refundable at the end of the auction.

"What's the hurry, we didn't plan to make a move anyway, and it's no ...... if we're late."

Since the matter of the museum was finalized yesterday, Han Chong was a little excited, and he did some exercise with Bi Yue in the evening, uh, the intensity and action were more difficult, so he got up late this morning, if Bi Yue also wanted to see the auction of cultural relics, Han Chong didn't want to come.

"Huh? Wen Wan girl, what's wrong with you? ”

After Han Chong said this, he saw that Wen Wan's face was a little wrong, and he couldn't help asking.

"Alas, brother, yesterday I saw the waist knife of the "Qianlong Year System", I felt like the saber of Emperor Qianlong, and I took a picture of it......"

Wen Wan went around at this auction to persuade some domestic buyers not to make a move, not to be caught in the auction house and the owner's plate rollerball technique, but when she came to auction, she was a little embarrassed.

Han Chong smiled and shook his head, he could understand the feeling of the person who collected a certain object when he saw the real thing, and he didn't say much, just asked, "How much did you take it?" ”

Wen Wan saw that Han Chong didn't blame him, her face relaxed a little, and said: "The starting price is 6,000 euros, but the price I took is 220,000 euros, plus the handling fee, if you convert it into rmB, it will cost about 2.6 million rmB in total......"

"The sword collection is not very popular, even if you raise the price, it doesn't matter, I believe that the goal of international speculators is not on it, Wen Wan girl, it's okay ......"

Han Chong comforted Wen Wan, what he said was right, the sword collection is relatively unpopular, and generally no one will deliberately raise the price, because there are few people who collect this thing, and if it is carried over, it will be smashed in the hand.

The three of them spoke, passed the verification at the entrance of the auction hall, and entered the auction hall.

Unlike the blonde foreigners he saw outside, as soon as he walked into the hall, Han Chong saw many black-haired and yellow-skinned faces, and looked around, among the more than 100 people in this auction hall, seventy or eighty people were Asian or Chinese.

However, most of those people are forty or fifty years old, and after seeing Han Chong and Bi Yue, their eyes were on them for a while, such an international auction, there are very few young people like Han Chong to participate, unless they are entrusted by some invisible rich people who don't want to show their heads to participate in the auction.

As for Wen Wan, these people are more familiar, and in recent years, she can often be seen at such international auctions, and when she walks to her seat, someone greets Wen Wan from time to time.

Of course, some people pulled Wen Wan aside to ask about Han Chong's origin, and Wen Wan was vague.
