Chapter 1781 Fusion
Of course Lin Wanqiu played a big role in this matter, and then Tony Huang and Liang Pingyi also helped a lot, but the first two were voluntary friends, and the latter was paid.
Lu Lirong mainly collects Buddha statues, Buddha heads, porcelain and calligraphy and paintings. You can tell at first glance that the origins of many of his collections, at least the Buddha statues and heads, are unclear.
As a "decent person", these things are like hot potatoes in your hands. If you are not careful, there will be a thunderstorm. Therefore, Zhou Zhi had to entrust Lin Wanqiu and Liang Pingyi to classify the collection without clear transaction information. All of them will be handed over to Liang Pingyi and returned to the motherland in the form of overseas donations.
In later generations, there is often a type of "self-media news" about the situation where a certain collector donated his national treasure to a museum, but was rejected by the museum because he could not explain the origin of the cultural relic.
In fact, this is a joke. The country has collected cultural relics several times over the years, and has never refused to accept them without clarifying their origins.
The real reason is that these collectors are basically the "national treasure gang". The so-called "national treasures collected at home" are all fakes. For various reasons, the museum is more tactful when rejecting them, without explicitly saying "You are fake." We don’t accept the goods.”
In fact, as long as the museum refuses to accept it, it is a sign of fakes. These people also deliberately pretend to be confused, or there are many who are really confused, attracting the media to make themselves famous, but their intentions are not worth it. A smile.
The world is like this, it is not black and white. Just like Lu Lirong, he really got a chance to make a decent exit. If there is insufficient evidence, he can use "goodwill acquisition" to be acquitted. Which one? The country's laws have nothing to do with him.
Even for a major case like the two statues of the Heavenly Kings, the country could only find out that a cultural relics dealer from Guangdong Province named "Shui Sheng Tsai" came from Hong Kong Island, and Hong Kong Island could only find out that Lu Lirong came from a Hong Kong island called "Shui Sheng Tsai". The statue of the Heavenly King purchased from the cultural relics broker "Min Asan".
Now this Min Asan has immigrated and cannot be found, and Shui Shengzi is also on the run. It is said that he has gone to Southeast Asia. How the king seems to have changed hands between the two is impossible to find out if he is not around.
Fortunately, the Buddha heads and statues collected by Lu returned to China, which can be considered a blessing.
Goro Sakamoto, as one of the lobbyists who successfully lobbied Nitta Toichi, can be considered a contributor to Saragata's return, and he also accompanied him this time.
"Long time no see, Mr. Sakamoto." Zhou Zhi was also very enthusiastic when he saw this little day: "We haven't seen each other for a while."
"There is a saying in your country that the dragon has its head but not its tail. ” Sakamoto Goro said: "One time when Miss Fujiwara was drinking, she even talked about you and said that you left a very unforgettable impression on her. She also asked you when you would be free to visit Sony again, and she also acted as your translator."
"Sony's DVD industry has eaten up an entire industry chain. Ms. Fujiwara is now an important figure in the company. How dare I ask her to be a translator?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "If she has time to come to China, I can give it to her. Dangdang Tour Guide. ”
Sony and Clover have cooperated deeply in the DVD industry. They not only launched an industrial agreement, but also established an industry forum. Sony also established an entertainment company. In addition to making its own movies, it also purchased DVDs everywhere. Release copyright and sell worldwide.
Clover Company, in conjunction with the domestic chip manufacturing industry, launched a low-priced DVD decoding chip.
Don't worry about the protection of property rights. Under the strong opposition of the film industry, especially the North American film industry, Sony and Clover made a compromise. They not only established a region code system, but also divided the world's DVD distribution into There are six major regions, and the compression encoding of each region is inconsistent. The disc can only be played on DVD players in the same region.
At the same time, a CSS scrambling code has been added, which is a secret key mechanism that prevents individuals from copying and duplicating DVDs. This approach has excellently protected the film copyrights of the eight major Hollywood studios. In return, the European and American Film Industry Alliance has also provided strong support for the promotion of DVDs. Of course, when copyrights are effectively protected, they are also the main interests of the industry. One of the reapers.
However, this resulted in the extremely unfavorable distribution of DVDs in the sixth region, which is mainland China. Eventually, the video disc market continued to be occupied by VCDs, while high-definition music MTV and karaoke were DVDs. the world.
The two companies have almost a monopoly on this industry. As the person in charge of China, Fujiwaraoka is responsible for liaising and coordinating many DVD-related collaborations. As the industry prospers, her position in the company will naturally increase. A rising tide lifts all boats.
"I will convey this to her, I believe Miss Fujiwara will be very happy." Sakamoto Goro smiled: "Both Nitta and I admire Zhou Sang for being able to donate the Saragata Lei to the country. It was your decision that became the decisive factor for Mr. Nitta to agree to change hands.”
"Hahaha, these are all decisions made by the top management of the foundation. I am just a representative." Zhou Zhi had no need to tell Sakamoto Goro the truth: "I still want to thank Mr. Sakamoto for his efforts and Mr. Nitta for his generosity. Please also convey My respect and gratitude to Mr. Anzhai.”
After saying the polite words, the customs clearance procedures were almost completed. Mr. Wang and Mr. Ma were of course the appraisers of the cultural relics entering the customs this time. They stamped the customs paint seal on the body of Pan Fang Lei and the Buddha head and Buddha statues. The group then pulled Carrying something, he arrived at the National Expo.
There is a grand ceremony here at the National Museum. High-level officials such as the General Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Director of the National Museum are present. Gao Zhixi and Xiong Chuanxin also brought the cap from the Hunan Provincial Museum. Several parties want to cooperate here. Witness the two parts of the national treasure being reunited into one after being separated for nearly a hundred years.
However, as before, Zhou Zhi did not come forward. After the body was finally placed, Liang Pingyi, the representative of the General Administration of Cultural Heritage, Ma Chengyuan, the discoverer of the Fang Lei body, and Xiong Chuanxin, the representative of the Fang Lei Collection Museum, The body of the lei was transferred to Fang Xintian and Dongyi, and the lid of the lei was raised, and amid the crazy flashes of the media, the lid was placed on Fang Lei's body.
“So beautiful!” As a guest at the ceremony, Zhou Zhi stood beside Mr. Wang and Goro Sakamoto, cheering and applauding warmly with everyone: “The King of Fang Lei is well-deserved!”
The combined height of Panfang Lei reaches 84.8 centimeters, of which the height alone is 63.6 centimeters. The lid is in the shape of a verandah roof and contains the lines of the famous "square lid of a box", which is quite mathematically beautiful.
The lei body has a rectangular mouth, a straight neck, and high round feet. The whole vessel has a cloud and thunder pattern as the base, and is decorated with animal face patterns, Kui dragon patterns, and phoenix and bird patterns. There are double ear rings on both sides of the shoulders, and an animal head is placed on the front and under the abdomen. The four corners and the center of each face are decorated with protruding long halberd-shaped door edges.
The vessel is huge in shape, majestic and solemn, exquisitely carved and magnificent. With just one glance, you can feel the superb skills and breathtaking momentum of the heyday of Chinese bronze casting. It is completely worthy of the late Shang Dynasty in China. A representative work of bronze.
"This is the best of all the blessings, the will of God." Mr. Wang also clapped beside Zhou Zhi: "How many cultural relics in the world can be reunited after being separated?"
"Even if" "Scroll of the Useless Master" and "The Picture of the Remaining Mountain" still coexist in the world, but I don't know when a joint exhibition will be held. Even if they are brought together, they will eventually be separated, not to mention the part that was burned. ?" Goro Sakamoto said on the other side.
What Sakamoto is talking about is the front and back parts of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". Wu Hongyu, a collector in the Ming Dynasty, wanted to be buried with the painting before his death, so he burned the scroll into two parts. Fortunately, his nephew snatched it out, leaving only Several feet have turned into ashes. The first part of "The Picture of the Remaining Mountain" is now hidden in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, and the second part of the "Scroll of the Useless Master" is hidden in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. There is no hope that the two will meet again.
These words made Mr. Wang and Zhou Zhi silent.
