Chapter 383: Collection Controversy

The museum charges an entrance fee, which is very cheap, only 10 yuan.

In the beginning, there were not many people who came to visit, but within a month, people poured in like a tidal wave, and the whole world was shaken!

Many old experts and artists came to see the precious collections, and couldn't help but burst into tears!

"There are a lot of missing national treasures here, which have not seen the light of day for decades or even hundreds of years, but I didn't expect to see them again today!"

"These are all national treasures, how did they become private collections?"

"I've studied bronzes all my life, but here are a few pieces that I've never seen before!"

"What is this? Song Huizong's folding fan? It looks very precious!"

"There are also a full set of armor and clothing for the Eight Banners in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and it is rare that there are eight flags, and there is no shortage of ...... in each."

"Each of these ancient books of the Song Dynasty is a treasure......"

"Oh my God, how can there still be books from the Tang Dynasty? Doesn't it say that the silk is guaranteed by 1,000 and the paper is protected by 800? The Tang Dynasty has been 1,400 years old, and it can still be well preserved......

"This is the ancient jade of the Han Dynasty? This is the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and five or six pieces suddenly appeared? This is the jade seal of Qianlong? This is the Yongle Grand Ceremony of the Ming Dynasty? This is the Siku Quanshu of the Qing Dynasty?"

"No, no, these treasures should be moved to the National Museum!"

"That's right, this kind of national treasure must not become a private collection, what if it is sold by him?"

In a word, Qin Di's construction of this museum can be regarded as poking a hornet's nest!

Some museum directors in China took a fancy to his collection and tried in every possible way to get him to donate it! Some people published articles in newspapers saying that he had "stolen national treasures"! Some people said that these treasures were of unknown origin and could not be regarded as an orderly inheritance, so they should be nationalized! Some people said that a certain collection of treasures seemed to belong to such and such a person before liberation, but later that person was killed by Japanese soldiers, and the collection disappeared, but he did not expect to be occupied by the Qin family!

As a result, this matter caused a lot of trouble.

Qin Di didn't care about this, and turned a deaf ear to the criticism of these people.

He said: "If someone can prove that a certain treasure comes from the Palace Museum, or other local museums! The Qin family will offer the treasure, but for private collections, because of the age and lack of proof of possession, it cannot be returned!"

Big brother, aren't you joking? The Qin family has donated so many properties to the state after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and you still want to take back a piece of your own collection? You said that you lost it before liberation, what evidence do you have? Even if there is evidence, the prosecution period has already passed! How many years have passed?

Despite those objections, the museum remained open as usual.

Many people opened their eyes and talked about it in amazement.

"These things belong to the Qin family, if they can be sold out, how much should they be worth?"

"How did the Qin family get so many treasures?

"Didn't you read the introduction at the door? During the Anti-Japanese War, the magic capital once formed an isolated island, and there were many cultural relics flooding the market, Mr. Qin bought them with a lot of money, and got the assistance of Zhang Congyu, Pang Laichen, Zheng Zhenze and others, so he left these treasures in China, otherwise he would have been exiled abroad!"

"I saw that introduction, but is it real?"

"It's true, in Zhang Congyu's memoirs, there is a record of this incident...... Before Zheng Zhenze's accidental plane crash, he also reported this incident to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage......"

"In this way, these things were bought by the Qin family with money? That can be regarded as an orderly inheritance, and there is no reason for others to appeal, right?"

"That's nature, it's not easy for anyone who wants to take it back, and the Qin family is not a vegetarian......"

Later, the state sent special people to investigate, synthesized the opinions of all parties, and finally formed a conclusion, and divided the collections in the museum into categories, including 280 first-class national treasures and 1,976 second-class national treasures, these national treasures are only allowed to be exhibited, not allowed to be traded, let alone shipped abroad; in addition, some calligraphy and paintings are allowed to be traded, but not sold to foreigners; some are not so precious, and can only be sold to foreign guests......

The government of the magic capital even set up a public security police station near the museum, and there is a squad of armed police officers there all year round.

Gradually, the matter slowly subsided.

By the second half of 1997, although Qin Di had no intention of making money in China, he still participated in many emerging enterprises, such as Internet companies, including Sina.com, Xinhuanet, NetEase, Tencent, and Alibaba, through two technology incubators in Modu and Shenzhen...... These companies were short of money when they started up, and the "Qin's Dream Fund" had a lot of money and was easy to get start-up funds, and the conditions for applying for funds were not harsh, which was much stronger than foreign investment.

For example, if these companies take money from foreign venture capitalists, 10 million yuan, the other party may have to hold 30 percent of the shares; under the same conditions, the Qin family's dream fund only requires 10 percent of the shares.

So, unconsciously, from 1984 to 1997, for 13 years, the Qin family invested in hundreds of enterprises, even Huawei's Ren Zhengfei, came to look for help, and got 20 million yuan in funds; Sichuan Changhong also came to apply for 30 million yuan in order to buy a TV production line......

To be honest, Qin Di set up a science and technology incubator, just wanting to make some contributions to the country and quietly spit out some of the gold looted back then, but after some tossing, these companies went public one after another after a few years, which made the Qin family's wealth rise sharply!

Sometimes, Qin Di felt a little worried: "I have accumulated so much wealth, and it is useful to keep it? In a few decades, or a hundred years, I will fly away in the daytime, what can I do with this wealth? Unless I fail to ascend and am forced to stay here and have children, money will only be meaningful to me!"

However, Qin Di has just advanced to the Yuan Infant Stage, generally speaking, it is not until the late Yuan Infant stage, or even the peak of the Yuan Infant that he can soar in the daytime, and the Yuan Infant Stage is even slower, often taking decades, or even a Jiazi to be promoted to the first rank, so when he will ascend, I don't know for the time being.

In 1997, the older generation of revolutionaries basically died. He died of illness in 1986, and Ping Lao died before Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

At this time, reform and opening up have entered a new stage, making great strides towards a modern country, and the phoenix nirvana of the Chinese nation has achieved about 80%.

At the same time, several old people of the Qin family also completed the hair washing and marrow, and began to rejuvenate little by little, becoming more and more energetic, as if they had become young people.

They are busy cultivating every day and rarely appear in front of people, so they seem to be more low-key.

And those on the outside think that they may die at any time.
