Chapter 723: Turning Resistance into Help
Watanabe's face was very unpleasant, and Jin Muchen could also feel the heaviness in his heart, so he asked.
"Is this Yoshihiko Noda famous?"
He really doesn't know much about these expert masters in Japan, but seeing Watanabe's expression, he can also feel that this Noda Yoshihiko should be a big deal.
Watanabe smiled bitterly: "It's not just famous, this person used to be the director of the Tokyo National Museum, and he was also a famous sinologist at Waseda University, and his family has been doing archaeology for generations." Today, they also run one of Japan's most famous antique shops, and in the area in front of Tokyo train station, they have the largest store area and the best business. And he himself is also the exclusive antique investment consultant for many Japanese dignitaries and business tycoons. ”
Hearing Watanabe say this, Jin Muchen basically understood that Noda Yoshihiko was really not joking with feelings, and just the name of the former director of the Tokyo National Museum could bluff many people.
Coupled with the fact that this guy has been in the antique business for generations, it seems that this guy should be the kind of guy who really has the material on hand.
And this guy is also the exclusive antique investment consultant of many Japanese political and business tycoons, it seems that this guy must be very capable.
Now even he felt a little depressed, originally he could have thought of that Mitsui Takazu's private antique investment consultant, he must be a guy with a big background, but he didn't expect this to be so big anyway.
Now even he feels a little big, this Noda Yoshihiko really doesn't seem to be so easy to fool.
"Watanabe-kun, don't be so discouraged, haven't our plans been launched yet? In short, there is still room for adjustment. That's right. Do you have this information about Yoshihiko Noda? ”
Although Jin Muchen also felt a little discouraged. felt that this time it was more difficult, but he was still a little unwilling, after all, he was still a little unwilling to give up this matter like this.
"Well, the information is here, this is the information about Yoshihiko Noda that I specially asked someone to find after I received the wind in the afternoon, Jim-san, please take a look."
This Watanabe is still quite solid. After speaking, he took out a brown paper bag from his briefcase and handed it to Jin Muchen.
Jin Muchen took it and opened it, and pulled out a thick stack of A4 printer paper, which was full of information about Yoshihiko Noda, and the first one, there was actually a photo of Yoshihiko Noda.
But as soon as he saw that photo, Jin Muchen was also startled, because the guy in this photo was too young, as if he was in his forties.
Look down. Although it was all in Japanese, he still saw the age column. When he saw the Arabic numerals in the age column, he couldn't help but be surprised.
44 years old? He even thought he was wrong, and then looked at this guy's date of birth, and it was indeed true, this guy was really only 44 years old this year, and now he felt that he really had nothing to say.
Because when he listened to Junichi Watanabe introduce the origin of this guy, especially when he heard that this guy actually served as the director of the Tokyo National Museum, he thought that this guy should be an old man in his seventies and eighties.
And the old guy who has retired from that position must be sixty or seventy years old, but now seeing the age of this guy, he even wonders if Junichi Watanabe is wrong.
You must know the Tokyo National Museum, although Jin Muchen is very reluctant in this place, he has to admit that the status here is actually comparable to the National Palace Museum in China.
Although this museum does not have the style of our Forbidden City, if you talk about the collections inside, it is not necessarily less than our Palace Museum.
Not to mention the other collections in it, let's just say that many of the Chinese antiques in this museum are treasures that we don't have in China.
As for the origin of these top Chinese national treasures, it is naturally very simple, they were all plundered from China during the Japanese invasion of China.
And these Japanese devils, after plundering these treasures back, are naturally very well preserved, even at the end of World War II, the Americans bombed Japan indiscriminately, and even burned Tokyo, but they failed to destroy these treasures.
And after Japan surrendered, these precious Japanese naturally did not honestly take them out and return them to the Nationalist Government, and even the Americans, they did not give them, and they have been secretly treasured.
Later, after their economy took off, coupled with the later struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony, the Americans were in consideration of containing the Soviet Union, and they relaxed their control over the Japanese.
Later, after the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, because of China's foreign policy at that time, because of the urgent need for Japanese investment and technology in the country, the war reparations were exempted, and even a lot of national treasures lost during World War II were repatriated, so the Japanese were relieved and bold to take out the cultural relics looted from China during World War II one by one and put them on display in the Tokyo National Museum.
To be honest, the policy formulated by the relevant leaders at that time has always been controversial in the field of cultural relics and archaeology in China.
And how many of the guys who can become the director of the Tokyo National Museum are idle people?
Take out any of them, and they all have to be the existence of Taishan Beidou in the archaeological community in Japan.
Such a person, if it was an old man in his fifties or sixties, Jin Muchen might be more convinced, but a young man who was only 44 years old, and had worked as the director of the Tokyo National Museum for a full term, Jin Muchen would feel that this guy was too young anyway.
Japan is a country with a very strict hierarchy, and the phenomenon of seniority is especially serious in this country, especially in an academic field such as archaeology.
Even if this Noda Yoshihiko has a well-known family background, but he can get into such a high position at such a young age, it seems that there is still a certain mystery in this.
But...... The 44-year-old curator, but he only served one term and then retired, there should be some stories in this.
"Watanabe-kun, are you sure there are no errors in this information?"
He raised the information in his hand and asked Watanabe, who nodded affirmatively: "It's definitely right, this is the news I found out from the most professional person." ”
"In this case, this Yoshihiko Noda is only 44 years old this year? So when did he become the director of the Tokyo National Museum? ”
"Eight years ago? When he became the curator at that time, it really caused a sensation, after all, he was only thirty-six years old at that time, which was indeed too young, and many people questioned his lack of qualifications. But Noda, this guy, is really capable, he was called a prodigy when he was young, and there have been many legendary experiences about him......"
The Watanabe family was also born in the antique industry, so when it comes to the secrets of the Japanese antique industry, he is the leader.
When Yoshihiko Noda became the director of the Tokyo National Museum, he was only in his twenties, and his father used Yoshihiko Noda as an example countless times to 'encourage' him, and at that time, Yoshihiko Noda was a typical child of someone else's family in their family......
So this Watanabe Junichi's feelings for this Noda Yoshihiko are very complicated, on the one hand, he envy him for having such strong ability and such good luck, but on the other hand, he hates this guy to death, although the two don't know each other, but this Noda Yoshihiko is the object of reference when his father preaches him countless times......
However, Jin Muchen was not interested in listening to the genius past of Noda Yoshihiko, he raised his hand to signal Watanabe to stop, and then asked directly: "Actually, what I care more about is that since this guy is so talented, so capable, and able to become the director of the Tokyo National Museum at a young age, why did he quit after only one term?" You have to know that position, but countless people covet the position, rich, powerful, famous, and high social status, once many people become curators, as long as there are no major mistakes, they will work in this position for the rest of their lives......"
Jin Muchen's words are not wrong at all, the director of this museum is not a political official like the president, and such a position is generally not set up for the number of years in office.
In such a position abroad, if ordinary people ascend to the position, then there must be few who are willing to retire by themselves, and they will generally choose to work in such a position until retirement, or even until death.
After all, with such a position, high social status, good wages and benefits, and power and money, how can ordinary people let go easily?
This Yoshihiko Noda can become a curator at the age of thirty-six, so he is definitely not an idle person, so how could he retire after only one term?
Why would he give up the fame and fortune he had already received so easily?
If he regarded money and fame as dung, it would be, and if he really was that kind of person, then he would not have given Mitsui Takazu to be an investment advisor.
So Jin Muchen felt that there must be something strange in this, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity to engage in Mitsui Guihe because of this Noda Yoshihiko.
Now it seems that this Noda Yoshihiko also seems to have a lot of stories to dig up, once he really digs up something fierce, then this guy is very likely not to be an obstacle for them to get Mitsui Takazu, and it may even become a big help for their operation.
And Junichi Watanabe was also stunned when he heard Jin Muchen's question, when he heard that it was Yoshihiko Noda who was an appraiser for Mitsui Takawa, he was also frightened, and he really didn't think about this problem. (To be continued.) )
