Su Cheng took the mobile phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, hello, I'm Su Cheng, who are you?" Su Cheng looked at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar phone call, and it was coming from the mainland, which made him feel a little strange.
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mr. Su, I am Qin Ping, the curator of the National Museum of China. I have something to discuss with you. I don't know if you have anything right now. Not available? "
Director of the National Museum of China?
Su Cheng was a little surprised when he heard the other party's self-introduction.
Could it be that finding him has something to do with the horse-headed animal head?
Otherwise, Su Cheng couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to find him.
After all, recently, the matter of the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads has been aroused.
If the other party came here because of the bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads, it would make sense.
"If you have time, please tell me, Director Qin." Su Cheng said with a smile while lying on the recliner.
"Well, our National Museum of China is planning to hold an international exhibition festival in the near future, and has invited many well-known domestic and international historical experts and scholars to visit.
Mr. Su has a bronze statue of a horse head from the Old Summer Palace in his hand , so we dare to borrow this bronze statue of a horse head from you for temporary exhibition, so that everyone can have a clearer and more intuitive view of our history."
Qin Ping stated his purpose.
Borrow a bronze statue of a horse and an animal head?
Is it just because of this?
Su Cheng thought the other party wanted him to donate it directly to the museum.
I didn’t expect it, I just wanted to borrow it.
This matter is simple.
Su City itself plans to donate this bronze statue.
He came up with this idea when the fake horse head bronze statue caused an uproar in the world.
Unexpectedly, the director of the National Museum of China would specifically look for him.
In this case, then take this opportunity to donate this bronze statue.
He has 12 bronze statues of animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals. It is not a big deal to donate one.
He even plans to donate all twelve statues in the future.
For him, these bronze statues have little value if they are placed at home.
Although he also likes to be a collector, he prefers collecting calligraphy and paintings.
As for the bronze statues of animal heads, it is best to return them to museums, so that more people can know these national treasures.
"Director Qin, right? I can't borrow it if I borrow it..."
Before Su Cheng finished speaking, the other end of the phone became anxious. Qin Ping said anxiously: "Mr. Su , we can provide rent, as long as Mr. Su agrees to rent it to us for a period of time, you can check the price first."
Of course Su Cheng doesn't like their small money.
Nowadays, the country is not too wealthy, and the economy is still at a relatively low level. How can it be possible to waste too much money in these places?
"Don't worry, Curator Qin, please listen to me first. I won't lend it to you, but I already have a plan. I am going to donate this bronze statue of an animal head to you!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Su, what you said can't be true." Qin Ping almost didn't react to the unexpected surprise.
Mr. Su wants to donate the horse head bronze statue among the twelve zodiac animal heads to them?
If this is the case, that is really good news.
Since the deeds and history of the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues have spread around the world, the value of these twelve bronze statues has actually risen to the level of national treasure.
This kind of thing, their museum has never thought that they have the ability to find it on their own. It is very good news that it can be displayed in the museum for a few days.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually planned to donate it to them.
"Of course, Director Qin, I have this plan, but I have been busy during this period and have not had time to contact your museum. How about this, I will have someone contact your museum later. Carry out donation handover work," Su Cheng said directly.
He also needs to confirm first whether this Qin Ping is from the National Museum of China. What if he is a fake?
Therefore, it is best for my subordinates to contact the real official personnel of the National Museum of China.
"Okay Mr. Su, thank you. On behalf of the National Museum of China, I would like to thank you for your generosity. You are indeed a great philanthropist!" Curator Qin opposite was excited.
A good thing, a great good thing, for the museum, this is simply a great joy!
In these years, Su Cheng has donated money and materials to the mainland every year, and he is the Hong Kong businessman who has donated the most funds.
During the typhoon disaster last year, Sioux City donated a large amount of funds and built more than 100 schools. It can be said that this is China's number one philanthropist.
Su Cheng's actions naturally earned everyone's respect, and he had already won the honorary title of a patriotic businessman.
"Well, that's it for now. I still have things to do. Goodbye!" After saying that, Su Cheng hung up the phone.
Originally, he did plan to donate the bronze statue of a horse and an animal to the government, but he didn’t know which organization would be better to donate it to. Since the National Museum of China called him, he would donate the bronze statue to the museum. As for the Old Summer Palace, it is still in ruins. There is no place to donate it.
After Qin Ping hung up the phone, he excitedly contacted his superiors quickly.
These days, "Zodiac" is also popular in the mainland. After Jiayi Film Company granted one year of free broadcast rights to the mainland, the film has already been released on a large scale in various places.
Moreover, since the broadcast copyright is free, CCTV, provincial satellite TV stations, etc. have already specially broadcast it. Some TV stations have even broadcast it several times.
Because they found that every time it was broadcast, the ratings increased significantly.
In this case, they naturally increase the number of plays.
When "Zodiac" was on the air, many people had the idea that it would be great if all these bronze statues returned to China.
But the real situation is that not a single bronze statue of an animal head is in the country, but has been scattered around the world without a trace.
When the fake animal head bronze statue was going to be sold at auction, the museum even planned to send people to participate in the auction. However, they also knew that the museum was short of funds and would definitely not be able to sell it at the auction. It was just a fluke after all. psychology.
Later, they were relieved to learn that the auction items were actually fake and the genuine items were in Su Cheng’s hands.
The genuine product is much better in the hands of Su Cheng than in the hands of these foreigners.
As a result, Qin Ping had hope that he could rent it for a period of time to participate in the exhibition. For this reason, he specifically asked for the contact information of Su City through the relevant leaders.
Unexpectedly, Su Cheng was so easy to talk to and decided to donate this national treasure to the country.
When the leader heard Qin Ping's words and learned what happened, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Mr. Su Cheng is really a rare patriotic businessman. If there are more people like Mr. Su in Xiangjiang, then our country will be blessed. "Yes, leader, I very much agree with what you said. Through the phone call, I can feel that Mr. Su is really a very easy-to-talk person, and he doesn't have any words. And I also said that he never donates money." Please give me something in return!" Qin Ping said with great agreement.
"Since the other party is so interested in donating this cultural relic to the museum, then you should be prepared to receive it!" Qin Ping's superior said directly.
“Good leader, I know what to do!” Qin Ping responded.
On the Xiangjiang side, Su Cheng did not waste time after hanging up the phone, but called Zhang Qizheng directly.
"Boss, do you have anything to do with me?" The other person clearly recognized Su Cheng's phone number. Before Su Cheng could speak, he had already taken the initiative to ask a question.
"Uncle Zhang, it's like this. Someone from the National Museum of China just contacted me, and I decided to donate the bronze statue of the horse's head to them, but I'm not sure if the person who called me is really from the museum. "Sir, please contact them and discuss the donation handover ceremony," Su Cheng said directly.
“Okay, then should the donation handover be held in the National Museum of China?” Zhang Qizheng asked.
"Don't go to such trouble, let them send people directly to Xiangjiang, and we can donate it directly to them. As for how they transport it back, they will be more professional!" Su Cheng said directly.
“Okay boss, I’ll do it right away!” Zhang Qizheng agreed.
This thing is just a small thing.
This matter is not complicated.
On the same day, Zhang Qizheng replied to Su Cheng, saying that he had been contacted. It was indeed the curator there who called Su Cheng.
In addition, both parties have also discussed the donation handover.
Tomorrow, August 21, they will send someone over, and the day after tomorrow, August 22, the donation ceremony will be held on the big stage at the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base.
Su Cheng was sitting in the office, thinking back on the phone call just now, feeling filled with emotion.
He knew that this bronze statue of a horse head was of great significance to the country and nation.
The bronze statue of the animal head in the Old Summer Palace is not only a work of art, but also a witness to history, bearing the humiliation and struggle of the Chinese nation.
In his previous life, Su Cheng had a strong interest in history since he was a child. He naturally understood the value of these cultural relics. Even without his promotion, these twelve animal head bronze statues would become famous all over the world in the future.
So when he learned that the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads were wandering outside, he always had an idea in his heart, that is, to do his best to return these national treasures to the motherland.
Now, he finally has the opportunity to do something for the country, and he feels extremely proud and gratified.
The handover of the donation can be directly handed over to Zhang Qizheng.
As for Su City, it’s natural to do whatever you have to do.
For him, donating a bronze statue of an animal head is nothing more than a small matter, and naturally he does not need to worry too much personally.
While waiting for museum personnel to arrive, Zhang Qizheng began to think about how to better promote this donation event.
He knew that this donation was not only a personal act of the boss, but also a manifestation of patriotism.
He hopes that through this donation, he can inspire more people's patriotic enthusiasm and at the same time make the boss's personal influence greater.
So, Zhang Qizheng decided to invite some media reporters to participate in the donation ceremony to let more people know about this matter.
He also contacted some people in the cultural circle, hoping that they could give a speech at the donation ceremony and call on everyone to jointly protect the country's cultural relics.
At the same time, the staff of the National Museum of China are also preparing nervously.
They know that this donation is a very important thing and they must be fully prepared.
They arranged a professional transportation team to ensure that the bronze horse head statue can be safely transported back to the museum.
They have also prepared a series of publicity activities to let more people understand the significance of this donation.
On August 21, the staff of the National Museum of China arrived in Xiangjiang as scheduled.
Zhang Qizheng received them personally.
The bronze horse head statue has been transported to the big stage at the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base and displayed in front of the employees.
The security in Tseung Kwan O is very strong, and no one will be able to steal it here.
The people at the museum couldn't wait to visit this bronze statue after checking into the hotel.
In response, Zhang Qizheng naturally agreed directly.
When they saw the exquisite bronze statue of a horse head, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"This bronze statue of a horse head is so exquisite. It is worthy of being a national treasure." A staff member said with emotion.
"Yes, it is really admirable that Mr. Su can donate such precious cultural relics to the country." Another staff member also said.
Zhang Qizheng said with a smile: "These cultural relics originally belonged to us China, our boss just let them return to where they should be."
After visiting the collection room, the two parties began to discuss Details of donation handover.
Then they signed a donation agreement, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties.
On August 22, the donation ceremony was held on the big stage of the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base.
Media reporters and cultural figures from all over the world gathered together to witness this historic moment.
Su Cheng walked onto the stage and delivered a passionate speech.
He talked about his love for history and his feelings for the country. He hoped that through this donation, more people would pay attention to and protect the country's cultural relics.
“Today, I am very honored to donate this bronze statue of a horse head to the National Museum of China. This bronze statue is not only a work of art, but also a historical witness of our Chinese nation.
I hope that through this donation, more people can understand our Chinese history, and let us work together to protect the cultural relics of our Chinese people and let them be passed down forever. "Su Cheng's speech won warm applause from the audience.
Subsequently, Qin Ping, director of the National Museum of China, also walked onto the stage and delivered a speech of thanks.
He thanked Su Cheng for his With the generous donation, he said that the museum will take good care of the bronze statue of the horse head and make it a precious treasure of the Chinese nation.
“We are deeply moved by Mr. Su’s patriotism, and his donation will be a great help for us. We have made great contributions to the country's cultural relics protection. We will preserve this bronze horse head statue to the highest standards and make it a treasure of our museum.
At the same time, we also hope that more people will pay attention to and protect Chinese cultural relics like Mr. Su, and contribute to the inheritance of our national culture. "Qin Ping's speech also won warm applause from the audience. (End of Chapter)
