"Xiaojing, why hasn't this museum opened yet?"
Looking at the museum with the closed door in front of him, Shao Mingzhong was also puzzled.There is information about the Grand Canal Leisure Park, which he had learned about before he came, and naturally knew that this Grand Canal Museum is the essence of the entire Grand Canal Leisure Park.It's just that the leisure park is now open, but why is this museum still quiet?"
Uncle Shao, the main thing is that some of the exhibits in the museum are not ready, I still have some expensive exhibits overseas that cannot be shipped into China for the time being, and you also know that there is a tax policy on antique art in China, which makes me very embarrassed" Yang Jing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Therefore, the opening of the museum still needs to wait for a while, but this time should not be too long, I estimate that it will take half a year at most for this museum to open." ”Shao Mingzhong also shook his head helplessly, as a senior official in charge of culture in Lu Province, he naturally knew the current domestic rules for the entry of foreign antiques and artworks, especially the high tax that made people a little frightened.But he is not the leader of the country and cannot change this situation."
Uncle Shao, Uncle Yang, do you want to go in and have a look?
Although the museum is not open now, it is almost completely clean, and some of the exhibits have been placed in the underground vault, so if you are interested, you can enjoy these treasures in advance. ”Shao Mingzhong and Yang Zhengyu glanced at each other, and Yang Zhengyu asked in a low voice, "Xiaojing, is it appropriate to do this?"
I mean, is there security in place for the museum?
If we get in, will it have any negative impact on security?
”Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, Uncle Shao, you can rest assured of this."
The security measures at this museum are very tight, so it's okay to visit in advance. ”Shao Mingzhong is not a grinder, so when he heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then let's appreciate the treasures you have collected in advance in the past few years."
I met Lao Bai once last autumn when I was at a meeting in Yanjing, and he was so full of praise for the treasures you collected that my old man wanted to see them. ”The old white in Shao Mingzhong's mouth is Gege's father and Yang Jing's father-in-law.What kind of collections Yang Jing has, the old man knows it clearly through Gege's mouth."
Okay, then let's go in and have a look."
As he spoke, Yang Jing took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, which was Wang Jiazan's mobile phone number, and after a while, a small door on the side of the museum gate opened, and Wang Jiazan hurriedly walked over."
Old Five, let me introduce you, this is our senior official Shao in charge of cultural work in Lu Province, this is Secretary Yang of our Tianqu, and this is Mayor Chen, the mayor of our Tianqu.Uncle Shao, Uncle Yang, Mayor Chen, this is my friend from the university, Wang Jiazan, who is currently the director of the Grand Canal Museum. ”Hearing Yang Jing's introduction, Wang Jiazan bowed respectfully to several leaders, and then under his leadership, a group of leaders entered the museum through that small door.At this time, the museum was still empty, although the booths and bulletproof glass cabinets had been arranged, there were no exhibits placed in them, and some of the treasures in Yang Jing's space were being placed in the underground vault at this time.These are all big leaders, and Yang Jing, the big boss, is personally accompanied, so the group easily entered the underground vault.Of course, in the process of entering, these leaders are also amazed.Shao Mingzhong even jokingly said: "Xiao Jing, the firmness of your vault, I think it is even more powerful than the underground vault of the bank!"
”Yang Jing smiled and didn't squeak.Kidding aside, to put it mildly, the gold and banknotes stored in the bank's underground vault are not worth as much as the antique art stored in the museum's underground vault.For example, take the underground vault of the Tianqu branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, although Yang Jing does not know how many banknotes, gold and securities are stored in the underground vault, it must definitely not exceed 5 billion national dollars.But how much are the treasures stored in the underground vault of this museum?
Not to mention anything else, those three bronze sculptures alone are probably worth more than 500 million national coins!
What?
If you don't believe it, then I ask you, how much do you say Michelangelo's handmade bronze sculpture "David" is worth?
How much is the original bronze sculpture of "The Discus Thrower" made by the ancient Greek sculptor Milon himself?
Also, how much is the bronze sculpture "Child Holding a Goose" created by the famous sculptor Boedos of Halkidon in ancient Greece in the third century BC?
It is no exaggeration to say that the bronze sculpture "David" made by Michelangelo alone would definitely fetch a jaw-dropping price if it were to be put up for auction.Although Yang Jing doesn't know how much money this bronze sculpture can fetch for auction, Yang Jing absolutely dares to guarantee that 500 million US dollars is definitely only a lower limit, as for the upper limit, you say 1 billion US dollars or even more, I'm afraid some people will shoot it!
After all, this is the bronze sculpture "David" made by Michelangelo himself!
It's like if you ask Leonardo da Vinci how much "Mona Lisa's Smile" costs and "Venus with a Broken Arm" how much, no one can give a specific price!
Now the treasures stored in this underground vault are the treasures of the last tsar's treasure that Yang Jing got in Siberia.These precious antique artworks have already appeared, and those experts from the Palace Museum have already seen them when they were doing cultural preservation work, so there is no need to store them in the space anymore.Yang Jing took these treasures to this underground vault early and stored them.The treasure that can be transferred by Nicholas II is naturally a peerless treasure that was loved by Nicholas II.But these treasures are now all placed in the underground vault belonging to Yang Jing, so when these leaders saw these treasures, they were immediately shocked and speechless.These treasures are unique in the world, and even the most worthless jewels have been worn by successive tsars, tsars and empresses of the Russian Romanov dynasty.The so-called worthlessness is only for the other more precious antique artworks in this treasure, if these jewels are placed in the outside world, they can immediately cause a sensation!
Shao Mingzhong is a high-ranking official in charge of cultural work in Lu Province, and he still has some understanding of antique art.So, when he saw the bronze "David" and the bronze "Discus Thrower", the whole person was stunned."
Xiao Jing, don't tell me that these two bronze sculptures are genuine?"
After a long time, Shao Mingzhong asked a little tremblingly.Yang Jing smiled and said in a joking tone, "Uncle Shao, congratulations on your correct answer." ”"Huh?
Is this really the real thing?
The real thing about Michelangelo and Milo?
”Shao Mingzhong was even more shocked now.Yang Zhengyu asked puzzledly: "Senior Officer Shao, aren't the real products of "David" and "Discus Thrower" all abroad?"
How did these two bronze sculptures of Xiao Jing become genuine again?
”Shao Mingzhong explained with some excitement: "Old Yang, you don't know about this.Although the foreign "David" and "The Discus Thrower" are both marble sculptures, they are actually copied from bronze sculptures, and the real products of "David" and "Discus Thrower" are actually two bronze sculptures. ”"Huh?
Senior Officer Shao, do you mean to say that these two bronze sculptures are actually genuine?
”Shao Mingzhong had also recovered at this time, and he said with a wry smile: "You have to ask Xiaojing about this."
But I can tell you that if these two bronze sculptures are really genuine, then their value is enough to repair several more Grand Canal Leisure Gardens" Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said: "Uncle Yang, Uncle Shao, I have a problem, that is, I never accept fakes.All the treasures here have been identified by many experts in the Palace Museum, and they are unmistakably genuine!
”At this moment, even Yang Zhengyu and Chen Zesheng on the side were dumbfounded
