Chapter 493 Exchange?
The princess stayed in Tianqu for three days before returning to Yanjing again.
It’s strange that Princess liked painting when she was a child, but that was just a hobby. When she was in college, she did not choose a school like the Academy of Fine Arts to study painting professionally. But now she is studying for a doctorate, and she seems to be open-minded and devoted herself to painting.
The princess has something she likes to do, and Yang Jing is very happy. She wants to go back, so Yang Jing naturally won’t block it.
The cultural heritage protection work of these babies needs to be done for a long time. The four masters, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong have to stay in this temporary work room for at least one month.
Let’s talk about the cultural protection work of the three bronze sculptures, and the cultural protection work of the oil paintings and manuscripts is much more troublesome.
Compared with bronze sculptures, both oil paintings and manuscripts are very fragile. Although these things have not been damaged under the protection of two layers of oil cloth, it has been a century after all. If they are not properly maintained, these treasures will have a great possibility of being abandoned.
Several experts are older, but they can't leave this kind of work to others, so they can only grit their teeth and hold on.
Yang Jing became the main force. With the guidance of several experts, he personally did a lot of cultural security work, and he could be called half a cultural security expert.
In the words of Mr. Liu, Yang Jing’s paper this year has been settled. The cultural security work of these treasures alone is enough to allow Yang Jing to write an extremely exciting paper.
Just kidding, how many people in the world can personally protect Michelangelo's works? How many people can protect Da Vinci's authentic works? How many people can protect Shakespeare's manuscripts?
Even if you look at the doctoral students around the world, no one can do this kind of cultural heritage insurance for this level of treasure. Mr. Guo even joked that after completing the cultural heritage insurance for these treasures, Yang Jing would not even have to go to class this school year...
Although life is boring, Yang Jing has really learned a lot of real things. This knowledge is something that cannot be learned in textbooks.
However, this boring day did not last long. Just when the cultural security work was underway for more than 20 days, Cai Yi brought good news.
"Xiao Jing, the approval document we applied for for you has been specially approved. The three bronze sculptures and several oil paintings have played a big role. After seeing these photos, we directly handed over our application to the senior management of the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Customs, and even alarmed the higher management. Yesterday, a friend of mine from the Ministry of Culture gave me a confirmation news that the tax-free approval documents you have obtained will be issued in the past two days."
Yang Jing was so happy when he heard this.
"Master Four, what do you mean is that these treasures can be born?"
"Well, after the official approval document is released, these treasures will be visible. However, these treasures cannot be bought or sold, otherwise you will have to pay heavy taxes."
"Oh Master Four, how can such treasures be bought and sold? My private museum has been laid now. Once it is built, I still think that the museum's Western Pavilion is not enough. How can I sell these treasures? I don't sell them no matter how much it is."
Mr. Xiao asked with a smile: "What if foreign museums want to exchange the Chinese treasures they collect for your treasures?"
Yang Jing laughed, "Yes, but how to change it, we have the final say. For example, they want to change the bronze "David", hehe, if they don't collect the scriptures and murals of the Mogao Grottoes that are wandering overseas, we will definitely not change it!"
When Yang Jing said this, the old men all gave me a thumbs up happily.
Mr. Guo smiled and said, "You kid is so greedy. I think they are very troublesome to change the whole set of Mogao Grottoes scriptures and murals."
"Hehe, whether to change or not is not them, it's me! Do you want the bronze "David"? Do you want the original bronze work of "Discusthorn"? Then you have to change it according to our requirements. I don't care about how they exchange it, but if I don't have one less here, I won't take care of them!"
"Good apprentice! All of us old men like to listen to this!" Mr. Liu said excitedly.
Yang Jing said: "In fact, it is not just the treasures of Mogao Grottoes, but also national treasures such as "The Master of the Women's Secretariat" or "The Golden Pagoda of the Danfeng Bailu Palace" and "The Forty Scenery of the Old Summer Palace". If there are not seven or eight items, don't think about changing to my oil paintings by Leonardo da Vinci or Raphael."
Several old men were stunned and then burst into laughter.
Cai Yi said with a look of yearning: "How great would it be if you, the treasures, could exchange all the treasures that were wandering abroad!"
What Cai Yi said is a bit fantasy. Foreigners are not fools. They may change within a certain range, but if they exceed this range, they will not change.
However, as old people in this industry, Cai Yi and the others still hope that this situation can happen. They know the difficulty of returning Chinese cultural relics in recent years. Those foreigners are not things. Their robbers and ancestors stole a large number of national treasure-level antiques from China. As a result, in modern times, they not only did not return it, but also took the initiative to hype China's antique artworks, making a lot of ill-gotten fortune from it.
In the past, Chinese people had no choice but to not be able to hold the foreigners' handles in their hands, so there was nothing they could do to the descendants of the robbers. But now it's different. Any piece of treasures that Yang Jing brought can cause storms in the West.
What is the value of a treasure that can be treasured by the dignified Tsar more than a century ago? This is something that cannot be even thought of. This treasure that can be treasured by the Tsar more than a century ago is now a priceless treasure.
Do you want it? If you want it, you can exchange it for something that satisfies us! As long as the things you provide can impress us, we will exchange it for you!
These things are very precious, but they are all things from foreigners. Although these things are priceless, in Yang Jing's mind, these things are far less than the treasures left by his ancestors. If foreigners can really provide enough national treasure-level antiques, Yang Jing really doesn't mind changing them back.
But this kind of thing still needs to be touched. Once you get it, an antique in the treasure of the last Tsar can be exchanged for a large number of Chinese national treasure-level antiques. After all, there are too many antiques in China that are overseas, tens of millions of them!
But if it is not good to touch, and the other party wants to exchange with no antiques that Yang Jing needs, then the exchange transaction will naturally not be able to be done. Therefore, this exchange transaction depends on the opportunity.
Anyway, Yang Jing would not be able to exchange these treasures for them. The business that is not called a business, and Yang Jing would not be stupid to do things like letting others hold their braids. This kind of exchange requires them to ask us to get the greatest benefit in the middle.
As Cai Yi said, the tax-free approval documents were soon dropped, and along with this approval documents, there were several senior figures from the Ministry of Culture. When receiving leaders of these lowest levels of department-level cadres, Yang Jing pretended to be stupid.
Yang Jing knew very well the purpose of these senior executives coming here, just for those treasures. Yang Jing didn't want to hand over the treasures he had worked so hard to hand over.
These treasures are non-renewable resources. Unlike oil, Yang Jing can have as much as he wants. He doesn’t feel sorry for giving it to a large part of the country.
These antiques are absolutely not to be handed in. Anyway, these antiques will not be sold to foreigners. What is the difference between a national-level museum exhibition and a collection exhibition from one’s own private museum? My buddy also wants to point to these treasures to attract some foreigners to contribute to their hometown! If they are handed over, what should I do if my own museum is done?
However, in order not to refute the above face, Yang Jing finally agreed to the proposal to exchange exhibitions. The ownership of the things is mine. You can take them to the exhibition, but you also have to take out the corresponding treasures and put them in my museum for exhibition.
These leaders also have no choice. Yang Jing is not a Chinese now. He is holding a Cyprus passport. In addition, there is no one behind Yang Jing, so it is obviously impossible to use force.
This way of exchanging exhibitions is good for both parties, so the preliminary intention was decided. Of course, if you want to exhibit, you have to wait until Yang Jing’s private museum is built.
Once these treasures are exhibited, the influence they have internationally is absolutely conceivable. No matter which city they are exhibited, that city will inevitably attract a large number of foreign tourists to visit.
Yang Jing didn't want such a good opportunity to fall on Tianqu, so he insisted on waiting for his museum to be built to hold a first exhibition of these treasures. In addition, Secretary Yang and Mayor Zheng came to do work for these leaders, and finally the matter was decided.
With the determination of this intention, this batch of treasures can finally stop being sneaky. A few days later, a large number of students brought by the four masters came. With their help, Yang Jing immediately felt relieved...
Yang Jing returned home and had a good meal at home that his mother had cooked. After taking a shower, he lay on his own bed and realized that he had entered the holy ring.
Since going to sea, because the princess has been by her side, she has been busy with the cultural heritage protection work of these treasures since she returned to China. In addition, Yang Jing has used the skills she obtained before, so Yang Jing has never taken time to pay attention to the holy ring.
After so long, the Holy Ring has been able to draw skills long ago. Now that he has completely relaxed, Yang Jing is preparing to draw a skill at home.
