Chapter 287 Don't want it?
The method Ye Jianshe gave is very simple.

Find a national or provincial museum to keep these items in, or rent them out.The ownership belongs to Zhu Yu, and there are experts over there who can be responsible for the restoration, and then the display rights belong to the museum.

Of course, you can do the same with private museums.

Such as the old horse.

But private ones, after all, do not have the authority of the state.Moreover, national or provincial museums are more professional in the protection and restoration of cultural relics.Private experts in this area are weaker.

Zhu Yu was a little moved by Ye Jianshe's suggestion.

Although these bronze wares belong to him, Zhu Yu doesn't know how to do it.

Finding someone to fix it is a hassle.In addition, even if you find someone to restore it, is it really placed in the basement of your villa?

That can't show the value of it!

Ye Jianshe's proposal perfectly solved these two problems.

Things belong to themselves, and the museum must have experts who can restore and study them.The research results can be made public like bronze acupuncture figures and bamboo slips.

In this way, Zhu Yu was more satisfied.Things are not given away for nothing, and the official has research results, and he can still confess his feelings.

"Then second uncle, is there any relationship with you?" Zhu Yu asked the familiar museum.

Not bothering the two masters with one thing, he wanted to find a suitable place, but he really didn't have as much face and connections as Ye Jianshe.

"I have a phone number for the deputy curator of the museum here, and I'll send it to you later. You'd better talk to him about this matter yourself. I can only miss a letter."

"Okay, thank you so much!" Zhu Yu said sincerely.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yu soon received a call from Ye Jianshe, the deputy curator of the museum.

The deputy curator's name was Zhou Boyu, Zhu Yu wrote it down, and planned to call at night.

There is an eight-hour time difference. It's two o'clock in the morning here, but it's ten o'clock in the other side, which happens to be working time.

Zhu Yu counted very well.

He was fine in the afternoon, and he didn't go out, so he studied the photos of the bronze wares in the villa.

The butler is very dedicated and enthusiastic, and specially invited a Chinese chef to cook Chinese food for them.But obviously, the taste of this Chinese food can only be described as... alas.

It was hard to sleep at night, so Zhu Yu simply went to look at the bronzes in the car with Ran Jie from the first shift.

Then Ye Jianshe sent a message, asking Zhu Yu to send some photos of the bronze wares.

Zhu Yu picked out a few and sent them over.

As for the inscription, because it is covered with rust, the words can be seen, but it is not clear.

At two o'clock in the morning, Zhu Yu took out his mobile phone and called that Zhou Boyu.

"Hello, Deputy Director Zhou, I was introduced by Mr. Ye Jianshe." Zhu Yu introduced himself very politely, "I want to discuss a business with your library."

A middle-aged man's voice came from the opposite side:

"Lao Ye introduced you? Then tell me."

Zhu Yu could tell that the other party was not very enthusiastic.

However, he guessed that this person might be like this, so he didn't care, and continued:

"It's like this, I bought some bronze wares abroad..."

"Acquisition of bronze wares?" There was some unexpected meaning in the tone of the opposite party, "What era? What kind of utensils?"

"It should be from the Shang Dynasty." Zhu Yu's celestial eyes could see that these things were more than 3000 years ago, to be exact, 500 years ago.

"Well, is there an inscription?" The other party continued to ask, his tone still very calm.

"Yes." Zhu Yu said.

"Well, when will it be delivered? We will give you a certificate of donation and a bonus.

Of course, we encourage patriots like you to buy these valuable cultural relics and donate them to the museum.By the way, what's your name? "

Zhu Yu hurriedly said:

"I'm not donating..."

"It's not a donation? What do you say if you don't donate? Do you mean you want to sell this bronze ware to a museum? Are you thinking too much? Bronze ware is not for sale, you know? You have to understand that buying and selling this bronze ware is It's illegal..."

Zhu Yu was stunned when he heard this, did the deputy curator have a grudge against Ye Jianshe, or did he feel that he was easy to bully?

After listening to such a lot of preaching, Zhu Yu barely finished listening before saying:

"I want to rent things to you and put them on display so that you can study them. In addition, I want to contact experts to repair them. After all, these bronzes have been stored outside for a long time, and some are damaged and some are rusty..."

Generally speaking, Zhu Yu was more honest, and put his words before the point.

But this time Deputy Director Zhou is not happy:

"What do you mean? Young man? Are you going to ask our museum to work for you? Young man, don't be too careful!
I know you may have a little kindness, and I hope that the bronze can be seen by more people.However, as someone who has been there, I would like to remind you that selfishness should not be too serious, and there should be a little national sentiment..."

Zhu Yu hung up the phone with a "snap".

Is there something wrong with this man?

Is it addictive to teach people?

He originally wanted to call Ye Jianshe to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Then Zhu Yu became a little worried.

If this path fails, what should I do?
He felt that Ye Jianshe's idea was actually pretty good.

It should be that I met the wrong person.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yu had an idea, searched directly on the Internet, and finally found a number.

With the thought of giving it a try, Zhu Yu dialed it.

"Hello, this is the New Provincial Museum of History, who are you looking for?"

There came a nice female voice.

"Hello, my name is Zhu Yu, and I'm abroad now. I bought some bronze wares, and I want to cooperate with your museum..."

"Your name is Zhu Yu? Are you the Zhu Yu who brought back the bronze acupuncture figure from abroad?"

The female voice suddenly raised her voice, and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Zhu Yu didn't expect that he was quite famous!

"It's me." He breathed a sigh of relief, that's right!
It's a win-win thing in itself, and it's really wrong to make myself trembling!
Well, sure, it should be that Deputy Director Zhou is wrong!
"Is it really you? You are really amazing!" The other party said happily, "Oh, you said you have bronze wares, and you want to cooperate with our museum?"

"Yes." Zhu Yu said, "I'm in the UK now and bought some bronze wares. But some bronze wares are rusty and some are damaged. I want to ship them back to China, but I don't have a place to store them myself. I want to cooperate with your museum... "

Zhu Yu expressed all his thoughts.

He didn't intend to hide anything first, including renting, exhibiting, repairing, and his request for monitoring.

Although it is not complete, it probably has the meaning.

There was a rustling sound from over there, obviously listening and memorizing.

After Zhu Yu finished speaking, the other party asked:
"The rent..."

"One yuan per year." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "Actually, this is a win-win situation. You must have invested a lot, so the rent is a symbolic charge. Of course, you can sign a long-term contract, about ten years or so."

The other party was very excited, and then said:

"Mr. Zhu, is this your phone number? If it is, then I will write it down, and I will report to the leader now! I think this is very good, you make us feel...really excited..."

The other party's words were a bit incoherent, but Zhu Yu knew that this was excitement.

"Yes." Zhu Yu said, "You can contact me anytime."

"Okay, then wait for my call, I will report to the leader now, soon!"

After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Zhu Yu let out a long breath.

Although it was getting late, Zhu Yu didn't want to sleep yet.

He felt that this matter should be settled in a while.

Well, New Province, although the province where my hometown is located is not strong in bronze restoration, at least I can see its sincerity.

Of course, it depends on the specifics.

After half an hour, the phone call came.

"Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." When the call came, a gentle middle-aged male voice changed over there, "The main reason is that we are not sure how many pieces of bronze wares Mr. Whether there is or not..."

"Inscription? Yes, yes!" Zhu Yu understood in seconds and replied immediately.

"That's good, that's good. In principle, our museum agrees to this kind of cooperation. Of course, it depends on the specifics. Does Mr. Zhu have any photos of these cultural relics? Can you pass them over?"

"Yes, you guys send an account, I'll upload it right away... Forget it, if we can cooperate, I'll ship the things over tomorrow. By air."

"That's great, we can now squeeze the existing exhibition halls to make room. Mr. Zhu, how many of these cultural relics are there?"

"More than 100 pieces." Zhu Yu thought it would be impossible to make room.

"What? More than 100 pieces?" The other party exclaimed, "Are you sure there are more than 100 pieces? Are they all bronze?"

"Yes." Zhu Yu was very satisfied with the other party's reaction, "Eleven of them have inscriptions. And I have already asked experts to confirm that they are all bronze wares from the Shang Dynasty."

"That..." The other party was so excited that he couldn't speak!

This is enough to open a bronze branch!
The surprise is really too big!

"Mr. Zhu!" The middle-aged man managed to calm down and said, "Mr. Zhu, we welcome this cooperation very much! We welcome you! I will give my mobile phone number and Xiao Li's mobile phone number later." The number will be sent to you, you can contact us at any time, 24 hours!"

After chatting for a few more words, the other party said that knowing that it was early morning on Zhu Yu's side, it would not affect Zhu Yu's rest, and we would talk about it after dawn.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yu felt that there was really a big difference in the attitudes of the two sides.

Zhu Yu knew that if he had told the Deputy Director Zhou that he had more than 100 bronze wares and eleven of them had inscriptions, the Deputy Director Zhou would have a different attitude.

But he thought it was fine.

Then his phone received the message.

Zhu Yu sent a few photos to let the other party see clearly.

The other party sent two big words:

"welcome!"

Zhu Yu was very happy.

The location of my hometown is to save face!

Then he went to sleep in peace.

Woke up the next day, had breakfast, and got the plane charter done.

It was already afternoon when Ran Jie and the others moved the bronzes to the plane.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth.

When we arrived at Dihua International Airport, people from the museum came to pick us up.

Three large trucks lined up at the airport, entered with special approval, and then loaded the well-packed bronzes from the plane.

This time Zhu Yu saw a man and a woman.

The man was about 45 years old. When he saw Zhu Yu, he greeted him with a smile:

"Hello, Mr. Zhu, I am Huang Jianzhong, the deputy curator of the museum, and this is Xiao Li who spoke to you earlier."

Xiao Li, 23, is four years old. He should have just graduated and was assigned here not long ago. He looked at Zhu Yu with a smile, and took the initiative to shake his hands:

"Hi Mr. Zhu, nice to meet you!"

People and things arrived at the museum together. The main leader met with Zhu Yu, and after a few chats, he handed over the matter to Deputy Director Huang.

Both parties now understand the key point, which is to take out the things, count them one by one, and store them in the warehouse, so that both parties can rest assured.

Then there is the matter of discussing cooperation.

According to the meaning of the museum, it should be repaired first, and the space should be freed up while repairing, and a bronze exhibition area has been specially set up.

Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:

"I see that your museum has quite a lot of space. I have a suggestion. I donate a sum of money. How about building a separate bronze museum?"

Huang Jianzhong was a little surprised when he heard that, he said with a smile:

"You have already donated the bronze wares and rented them out to us. How can we still ask you to donate? Let's apply for funding ourselves? But it may take longer, next year."

"No, no, no. I can still take out this little money." Zhu Yu thought that he would put the money aside as well.Anyway, these bronzes are still my own, and the procedures are very useful when going through customs.It's no problem to build a house for your own stuff!
Seeing that Zhu Yu insisted, Huang Jianzhong smiled and said:

"Then I really thank Mr. Zhu."

He is really grateful.In this museum, there are mummies, gold and silver wares and so on, but when it comes to bronze wares, there are really few.

"We have two bronze ware restorers in our museum. However, the technology cannot be ranked in the country. We are already planning to invite two experts from the Forbidden City, and two experts from Baoji."

Huang Jianzhong is very confident about this.

"Can I invite you?" Zhu Yu was a little worried.

"As long as you send the photos of the bronzes with inscriptions, I think they will be very happy!" Huang Jianzhong smiled, "He is definitely the top restoration expert in China!"

Think about it too, insiders, who can reject such an important thing?
If there is something in the inscription that can prove a major historical event, then it will really become famous overseas!

That's how the matter was settled.

It happened that Zhu Yu hadn't been home for a while, and after finishing this matter, he returned home.

Museums immediately began hiring experts.

Because the circle is so big, a batch of more than 180 bronzes settled in the New Provincial Museum immediately became news that shocked the circle.

Ye Jianshe knew it was related to Zhu Yu as soon as he heard it.

But he didn't expect there to be so many pieces!

The point is, the place to go is not the museum you introduced, right?
He immediately called Zhou Boyu.

At this time, Zhou Boyu's intestines were full of regrets!
That's more than 100 pieces!

Eleven pieces with inscriptions!
