National Tide 1980.

Chapter 969 Unkind Invitation
February 1986, 2, the sixth day and Friday, is also Valentine's Day in the West.

Although there are currently no young people chasing this foreign festival in China, the Japanese, who have always had a strong mentality towards the West and have taken the lead in economic development, are more concerned about it.

The main reason is that he was considerate of Matsumoto Keiko's mood. Originally, on this day, Ning Weimin planned to go to the Fuxingmen long-term building to register early in the morning, and then asked for a phone booth to have a good conversation with Matsumoto Keiko. .

It's a pity that because of a temporary emergency, Ning Weimin's original plan had to be postponed, and the sweet moment was moved to the evening.

If nothing else, the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau came to the door.

The Japanese embassy contacted the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics in advance, and told them that Ning Weimin brought back a large number of bronzes from Japan to be donated. The Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics couldn't sit still.

Even the leaders and the experts preparing to appraise were ecstatic from top to bottom.

From years ago to the end of the year, everyone talked about this batch of cultural relics returned from overseas, and they were thinking about seeing the true appearance of this batch of bronze wares as soon as possible.

Although they understood that Ning Weimin had to celebrate the new year when he returned to Beijing, they also understood the truth that a good meal is not afraid of being late.

But after a long time, he couldn't help but become suspicious, afraid that something might happen to this matter.

So don't look at the fact that it's only been a day since the public holiday ended, they were impatient and took the initiative to attack.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics not only called Ning Weimin early in the morning.

He also said that the special car for picking up people, the welcome ceremony and the experts waiting for appraisal have all been arranged, and they are waiting for Ning Weimin to come.

Although the meaning of this expression is very euphemistic, the posture that everything is ready and only owed to Dongfeng fully proves that the cultural relics bureau is very anxious about this matter.

That's all right, Ning Weimin couldn't keep the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics waiting for a long time, so he had to cooperate.

So he called Luo Guangliang to help, packed up the items to be donated, and then boarded the car sent by the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics with Kang Shude, who wanted to go to see the appraisal results.

As a result, it was no surprise that these things shocked the audience as soon as they were taken out, and the appraisal results were particularly astonishing.

After being appraised by several experts from the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, it was concluded that five of the seventeen bronze wares donated by Ning Weimin belonged to the Western Han Dynasty, and there were inscriptions on the inner wall. From this, it can be concluded that they were buried objects of Liu Jia, king of Liang. .

Particularly precious are a square goblet with animal-mask patterns from the late Shang Dynasty and a bronze swan goose from the Qin Dynasty.

It's just that the specific source has yet to be further verified.

Secondly, there is a small bronze tripod from the Liao Dynasty and two copper bull candlesticks from the Western Han Dynasty that are more precious.

A total of nine of these things have been identified as national first-class cultural relics.

As for the two volumes of Song edition books that were also recognized as authentic, from the perspective of the value of the literature, it is probably higher than most bronze wares.

In short, all experts agreed that the cultural relics donated by Ning Weimin not only have the value of cultural relics and artistic appreciation, but also have the value of academic research.

And almost all of them were poor and weak. It is a fluke that the national treasures lost overseas can be recovered.

So as soon as the appraisal process is over, the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau will hold a commendation ceremony on the spot.

Perhaps it was because he felt that the cash reward of [-] yuan plus a pennant was a bit overwhelming.

The Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau also specially arranged reporters for the "Beijing Daily" and "Jingcheng Evening News".

He planned to take photos of Ning Weimin for an exclusive interview, publish articles in two newspapers to promote and commend him, and make him famous.

However, to the surprise of the leaders and experts of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, Ning Weimin actually declined such an arrangement.

At first, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics thought that Ning Weimin was just pretending to be humble on the surface, but he was actually willing in his heart.

Who would refuse honor?

So the leaders tried to persuade them again and again, saying that Ning Weimin's move was very good.

It is said that the return of these cultural relics is not only beneficial to the research and evidence of the relevant history of our country, but also his donation has set a good example for the society.

It is telling everyone how to love and protect our traditional culture with practical actions.

Of course, it deserves a big award, so that everyone can follow suit.

But who knows that Ning Weimin is really not here to play tricks.

Although he sincerely thanked the leader again and again, he still insisted on refusing to give in.

He even used the allusion of "Zigong redeeming people" as an example.

It is believed that if it is reported publicly, the harm will outweigh the benefits, and it will not be conducive to the return of overseas cultural relics.

Ning Weimin's reasoning is that he went abroad to do business, so he has the financial ability and is willing to do it.

But it doesn't mean that others are capable and willing to do it.

The actual situation is that even if many people in China go abroad, their lives are mostly miserable.

Either foreign students or migrant workers, there is no such economic condition.

Propagating this kind of thing will not only serve as an example, but also promote the return of ancient relics lost overseas.

On the contrary, it may be seen by Japanese journalists in China, causing unknown and unpredictable troubles.

What if the news is sent back to Japan, and what if those Japanese second-hand dealers know that there are Chinese doing such things.

Then the price of Chinese antiques in the Japanese market will be affected if it is not good.

Then it might not be so cheap to collect such things in the future.

To make matters worse, if he wants to bring cultural relics back to China in the future, he may still encounter obstacles from the Japanese side.

Ning Weimin also said that he has plans to do this for a long time.

So in the long run, it's better to keep it as secret as possible.

Especially considering the limited funds invested in domestic cultural preservation, Ning Weimin also generously stated that there is no need to give him bonuses and pennants.

He only hopes that these things can be properly placed, preferably in the Beijing Municipal Museum.

In addition, you need a proof of donation, and you can take a photo of yourself and these things as a souvenir.

So when he finished speaking, both the leader and the experts looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Because to be honest, although the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau has already accepted a lot of cultural relics donations since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But such a large sum of money, such a free giver, seems to have never been seen since Zhang Boju passed away.

Especially Ning Weimin is still so young, he is a master who has a great time and a bright future.

Obviously he can keep it for himself, but he can't afford to be greedy, so that is the only one in the shit of the scorpion.

How could people not know the value of these cultural relics?

It can only be said that the character is precious, and the heart is concerned with the righteousness of the country.

So no one can doubt Ning Weimin's uprightness.

Especially listening to the reasons he analyzed, they were all so pragmatic and objective.

Among the leaders and experts present, none of them were moved by his words, and all of them valued him a little bit and felt good about him.

No one thought that Ning Weimin would be such a selfless person who didn't care about personal gain or loss at all.

But because of this, everyone also apologized and felt too embarrassed.

This, this... means no at all, why do you feel a little sorry for others?

This favor is greatly owed.

Anyway, it doesn't seem very honorable for the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics to take something belonging to a young man for nothing.

But just when the scene was a bit inexplicably awkward, and even the leader didn't have a proper idea.

I have to say that Ning Weimin, who is good at observing words and expressions, is really very sensible.

When he found that the leader was in a dilemma, he took the initiative to send the ladder to the leader's feet.

"Leader, I actually have two unfeeling requests. I wonder if you can fulfill me?"

"You say. You're welcome."

"First of all, I am very interested in antiquities and I also like traditional culture. It is a great honor to meet so many experts today. I don't know if I have the honor to invite the leader and some teachers to have a light meal at noon. It is best if some teachers can give I will leave a contact information so that I can ask for advice in the future. Also, can the leader give me a convenience so that I can also go to the cultural relics store to buy some things after Kang Qian in my own name in the future?"

As a result, when he said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed, and everyone laughed.

Ning Weimin still felt a little strange, but he heard that the leader had already started to take care of everything.

"You little comrade. What kind of unfeeling invitation is this? Of course you have to eat this meal, you must eat it, and it must be treated by our cultural relics bureau. As for you, it is easier to go to the cultural relics store to buy things. Where is it?" Need anything for your convenience? You can go directly. You probably don’t know yet? The policy is different now, and all the cultural relics stores in the city have opened their cabinets. We Chinese can also buy things that foreigners can buy. Buy it, and you can use RMB. Yes, I suggest you go to Hongguang Pavilion, where the goods are the most comprehensive. I can also write you a note and ask them to give you some discounts depending on the situation."

Look, these few words of Ning Weimin not only brightened the leader's face, but made him feel extremely happy when he stepped down the steps, even he himself got a huge benefit.

To be honest, Ning Weimin didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he promised so happily.

After listening to the leader's words, he was even a little dazed for a moment, unable to digest the news in time.

Why did the cultural relics store suddenly open its doors to ordinary people?

How can you still buy it casually with RMB?

You must know that in the past, only foreign guests had the right to buy these things, and the country wanted to use these things to earn foreign exchange.

Even if he wanted to buy it himself, he had to take advantage of the convenience of purchasing it for the altar palace, so he had to cover it up.

Afterwards, after he inquired more carefully, he understood what was going on from the leader's detailed explanation.

Dare to love, this is also closely related to the reform and opening up, and the development of domestic tourism.

Not for anything else, just because of the opening of the country and the economic development, domestic and foreign tourists continue to increase.

Now that there are more people traveling and the awareness of tourism has begun to spread, tourism handicrafts have become a hot business.

Many original handicraft factories regard tourism handicrafts as their main business.

Moreover, in order to make quick money, almost all of them gave up the advantages of traditional craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship like the Jingcheng Material Equipment Factory, and specialized in the production of industrial and assembly line things.

Although these things are crudely made, they can quickly seize the market at a cheap price when they are produced in large quantities.

Nowadays, not only tourist attractions are selling, but many of them are pouring into Liulichang.

Many foreigners who don't understand antiquities come to the capital just to buy some souvenirs to take back.

Many people naturally choose this cheap thing.

As a result, the cultural relics stores that rely on foreign guests will of course suffer, and the goods in the cabinets will start to be unsalable.

At the end of last year, it was a last resort, and it was decided to open the inner cabinet and sell it to the domestic people in RMB.

At this time, even practitioners of antiquities and cultural relics, few people could realize the value of these antiquities after Kangxi and Qianlong.

They almost feel that it is better to sell it than smash it.

To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin is willing to spend money to buy it, which is tantamount to supporting the work of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Undoubtedly, this sounds to Ning Weimin's ears, but it is like the sound of a fairy ringing around his ears.

It was as if he accidentally discovered the treasure of calligraphy and painting with Huo Xin, and saw a big leak in front of him again.

It's also a coincidence, yesterday Ning Weimin listened to Yin Yue's report of the accounts, and after deducting the funds used to buy stamps, there was almost 100 million yuan left. Ning Weimin didn't know where to spend it right now.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, I also learned from Kang Shude that the house in Ma's garden has been repaired as before, and it has almost been restored in general.

Doesn't it mean that when someone wants to sleep, someone stuffs a pillow with them, so that both sons and daughters make up a "good".

So without saying anything, Ning Weimin became more and more respectful to these people from the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics.

It is said that knowing a son is like a father, but in fact, the same is true for masters and apprentices.

There was no need to say anything, Kang Shude knew what was going on in Ning Weimin's mind just by his looks.

So this lunch was interesting. At the suggestion of the leader, we ate at the nearest Hepingmen Roast Duck Restaurant.

During the dinner, Ning Weimin gave full play to his talent of eloquence, he flattered the leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, and flattered the experts as much as he could.

Although there are traces of deliberate deliberation, the good thing is that this kid is not only a sensible person, but also has some real things in his belly under the training of Kang Shude.

In addition, there is a good master at the side to support, so it is easy to get closer to these cultural people, which is even better.

It was a matter of course. When Ning Weimin expressed his desire to buy all the porcelain in Hongguang Pavilion as much as possible, it might cost hundreds of thousands.

Although it shocked everyone present again.

But what the people from the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics presented afterwards was a complete surprise.

As Ning Weimin thought, not only did the leader not object, but he expressed it in public.

"That's great. Manager Xiao Ning, you are really generous in your work. You don't have to say, as long as we have it in our store, you can buy as much as you want. Buy whatever you want. If you like these things, then buy as much as you can, This is also to support our work. If you are really willing to spend hundreds of thousands, then it will solve our funding problem. Don't worry, we will definitely give you a discount, the biggest possible discount."

Ning Weimin was overjoyed, and he couldn't help raising his wine glass to express his feelings on the spot.

He said that he bought these porcelains not for resale, but for better protection and staying in the country.

So this meal can be described as a feast for the guests and the host.

In the end, the hospitality was hard to come by. For the first time, Ning Weimin ate the government for nothing, and it was the cultural relics bureau who insisted on paying.

However, Ning Weimin also gave something back, and spent his own money to buy good wine and cigarettes at the counter, and distributed them to the leaders and several experts.

I have to say one more thing here, being a human being is really a university question.

It's a pity that there is no such course in universities, and many talented people have lived half their lives to get a glimpse of it.

But in fact, this knowledge is applicable to all walks of life, and it is likely to be the most affordable knowledge in the world. It can be called "success study".

Take the donation of Ning Weimin as an example. On the surface, it seems that he donated so many precious cultural relics, which seems a bit of a pity and seems to be taken advantage of.

But to be honest, winning the identity of a patriotic businessman, gaining the trust of the Bureau of Cultural Relics, and having more relationships with the Bureau of Cultural Relics is definitely more cost-effective than leaving the few antiquities behind him.

This first greatly increases his social credit, and when the timing is right, the government can endorse his business reputation.

And it could bring him more practical benefits right now.

It's not just that the things in the Hongguang Pavilion are about to belong to him. Based on the price of a piece of tens or hundreds of yuan, it can almost be covered by him.

It also means that all the shops and manufacturers under the cultural relics company have opened their doors to him.

Those places he couldn't go in the past have a pass, and those things he couldn't buy in the past can also be bought.

Discounts or not, at least in the future, if there are any rare and good products that you want to sell in the store of the Cultural Relics Bureau, you must first say hello to him.

If there is an object that even their masters and apprentices are not sure about, there are these experts who can help to give palms and give advice.

How good is this?Not stronger than anything?

Inside and out, he is not suitable!But it fits so well!
