We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#1088 - Museums come to you
Su Cheng took the mobile phone and directly pressed the answer button.
"Hello, this is Su Cheng, who is this?" Su Cheng glanced at the phone. It was an unfamiliar number, and it was 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 I would like to discuss with you. I wonder if you are available now?"
The curator of the National Museum of China?
Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Su Cheng was a little surprised.
Could it be that he was looking for him in connection with the Horse-Head statue?
Otherwise, Su Cheng couldn't figure out why the other party was looking for him.
After all, recently, the matter of the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues has been a hot topic.
If the other party was here for the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues, it would make sense.
"I'm available. Please speak, Curator Qin," Su Cheng said with a smile while lying on the recliner.
"It's like this, our National Museum of China is planning to hold an international exhibition recently, and we have invited many well-known domestic and international historical experts and scholars to visit.
Mr. Su has a Yuanmingyuan horse-head bronze statue in his hands, so we boldly ask you to lend us this horse-head bronze statue for a temporary exhibition, so that everyone can have a clearer and more intuitive view of our history."
Qin Ping stated his purpose.
Su Cheng thought the other party wanted him to donate it directly to the museum.
Unexpectedly, they just wanted to borrow it.
This matter was simple.
Su Cheng himself was planning to donate this bronze statue.
When the fake horse-head bronze statue was causing a stir internationally, he had this idea.
What he didn't expect was that the curator of the National Museum of China would actually contact him specifically.
Since this was the case, then he would take this opportunity to donate the bronze statue.
He had 12 zodiac animal head bronze statues, so donating one was not a problem at all.
In the future, he even planned to donate all twelve.
For him, these bronze statues had no great value at home.
Although he also liked being a collector, he preferred collecting calligraphy and paintings.
As for things like animal head bronze statues, it was best to return them to the museum, so that more people could recognize these national treasures.
"Curator Qin, right? I won't lend it..."
Before Su Cheng could finish speaking, the other end of the phone became anxious, and Qin Ping hurriedly said: "Mr. Su, we can provide a rental fee. As long as Mr. Su agrees to lend it to us for a period of time, please tell us your price first."
Su Cheng certainly didn't care about their small amount of money.
Nowadays, the country was not too wealthy, and the economy was still at a relatively low level. How could they waste too much money on these things!
"Curator Qin, don't worry. Please listen to me first. I'm not lending it to you, but I already have a plan. I'm going to donate this animal head bronze statue to you!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Su, what you said, can't be true," The unexpected joy almost made Qin Ping unable to react.
Mr. Su was going to donate the horse-head bronze statue from the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues to them?
If this was the case, then it would really be great news.
Since the deeds and history of the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues had spread worldwide, the value of these twelve bronze statues had already risen to the level of national treasures.
They had never thought that the museum would have the ability to retrieve them on their own. Being able to exhibit them in the museum for a few days would be very good news.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually planned to donate them.
"Of course, Curator Qin, I have this plan, but I have been quite busy recently and haven't had time to contact your museum. How about this, I will have someone contact your museum later to carry out the donation and handover work," Su Cheng said directly.
He also had to first confirm whether this Qin Ping was from the National Museum of China. What if he was a fake?
Therefore, it was best to have his subordinates contact the official personnel of the real National Museum of China.
"Okay, Mr. Su, thank you. On behalf of the National Museum of China, I thank you for your generosity. You truly deserve to be a great philanthropist!" Curator Qin on the other end of the phone was extremely excited.
Good thing, a great thing, for the museum, this was simply a great happy event!
Over the years, Su Cheng had been donating money and materials to the mainland every year, and he was the Hong Kong businessman who donated the most funds.
During the typhoon disaster last year, Su Cheng donated a large sum of money and built more than 100 schools. It could be said that he was already 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, let's leave it at that for now. I still have things to do. Goodbye!" After speaking, Su Cheng hung up the phone.
Originally, he did have a plan to donate this horse-head animal head bronze statue to the government, but he didn't know which institution would be better to donate it to. Since the National Museum of China had called him, then he would donate the bronze statue to the museum. As for the Yuanmingyuan, it was still in ruins, and there was no place to put it even if he donated it.
After Qin Ping hung up the phone, he excitedly contacted his superiors quickly.
These days, "The Zodiac" was also popular in the mainland. After Jia Yi Film Company granted a year of free broadcasting rights to the mainland, this movie had already been released on a large scale throughout the country.
Moreover, since the broadcasting rights were free, CCTV, various provincial satellite TV stations, etc., had already specifically broadcast it, and some TV stations had even broadcast it several times.
Because they found that the ratings clearly increased every time it was broadcast.
Under this situation, they naturally increased the number of broadcasts.
And when "The Zodiac" was popular, many people had this idea: it would be great if these bronze statues could all return to China.
But the reality was that none of the animal head bronze statues were in China, but were scattered all over the world, and their whereabouts were unknown.
When the fake animal head bronze statue was about to be auctioned at the auction, the museum even planned to send people to participate in the auction, but they also knew that the museum's funds were tight, and in the end, they would definitely not be able to bid successfully. They just had a fluke mentality after all.
Later, after learning that the auction was actually a fake and that the real product was in Su Cheng's hands, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It was much better for the real product to be in Su Cheng's hands than in the hands of these foreigners.
So, Qin Ping had the hope of being able to borrow it for a period of time for exhibition, for which he specifically asked the relevant leaders for Su Cheng's contact information.
What he didn't expect was that Su Cheng would be so easy to talk to, and directly decided to donate this national treasure to the country.
The leader, after hearing Qin Ping's words and learning about the course of events, couldn't help but sigh: "This Mr. Su Cheng is truly a rare patriotic businessman. If Hong Kong had more people like Mr. Su, then our country would be blessed!"
"Yes, leader, I also very much agree with your words. Through the phone, I could feel that Mr. Su is truly a very easy person to talk to, not putting on any airs at all. And I also said that he never asks for anything in return for donating money!" Qin Ping said, very much in agreement.
"Since the other party is so willing and intends to donate this cultural relic to the museum, then you guys should prepare to receive it!" Qin Ping's superior leader said directly.
"Okay, leader, I know what to do!" Qin Ping responded.
Meanwhile, on the Hong Kong side, after hanging up the phone, Su Cheng didn't waste any time and directly called Zhang Qizheng.
"Boss, do you need me for something?" The other party clearly recognized Su Cheng's phone number. Before Su Cheng could speak, they had already taken the initiative to ask.
"Uncle Zhang, it's like this. Just now, someone from the National Museum of China contacted me. I've decided to donate the Horse-Head Bronze Statue to them, but I'm not sure if the person who called me is really from the museum. Contact them and discuss the donation handover ceremony." Su Cheng said directly.
"Okay, then will the donation handover be held at the National Museum of China?" Zhang Qizheng asked.
"No need for such trouble. Have them send someone directly to Hong Kong. We'll donate it to them directly. As for how they transport it back, they'll be more professional!" Su Cheng said directly.
"Okay, boss, I'll take care of it right away!" Zhang Qizheng agreed.
This matter was just a small thing.
This matter was not complicated.
The newest novels are first published at Liu 9 Shu Ba!
That day, Zhang Qizheng replied to Su Cheng, saying that he had already made contact and that it was indeed the curator who had called Su Cheng.
In addition, both parties had also discussed the donation handover.
Tomorrow, which is August 21st, they will send someone over, and the day after tomorrow, August 22nd, the donation ceremony will be held on the grand stage of the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base.
Su Cheng sat in the office, recalling the conversation just now, and his heart was filled with emotions.
He knew that this Horse-Head Bronze Statue was of great significance to the country and the nation.
The animal head bronze statues of the Old Summer Palace are not only works of art but also witnesses of history, bearing the humiliation and resistance 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 twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues were scattered abroad, he always had an idea in his mind, which was to do his best to bring these national treasures back to the motherland.
Now, he finally had the opportunity to do something for the country, and he felt extremely proud and gratified.
The handover of this donation can be directly handed over to Zhang Qizheng to be responsible for.
As for Su Cheng, he should naturally do what he should do.
For him, donating a bronze animal head statue was just a trivial matter, so naturally, he didn't need to worry too much about it himself.
While waiting for the museum staff to arrive, Zhang Qizheng began to think about how to better promote this donation event.
He knew that this donation was not only the boss's personal behavior but also an embodiment of patriotism.
He hoped that through this donation, he could inspire more people's patriotic enthusiasm and also enhance the boss's personal influence.
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 from the cultural circle, hoping that they could deliver speeches 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 were also preparing nervously.
They knew that this donation was a very important matter and that they had to make full preparations.
They arranged a professional transportation team to ensure that the Horse-Head Bronze Statue could be safely transported back to the museum.
They also prepared a series of promotional activities to let more people understand the significance of this donation.
On August 21st, the staff of the National Museum of China arrived in Hong Kong as scheduled.
Zhang Qizheng personally received them.
The Horse-Head Bronze Statue had already been transported to the grand stage of the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base and was displayed in front of the employees.
The security of Tseung Kwan O is very strong, and no one here can steal it.
After checking into the hotel, the people from the museum couldn't wait to visit the bronze statue.
Zhang Qizheng naturally agreed to this directly.
When they saw the exquisite Horse-Head Bronze Statue, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"This Horse-Head Bronze Statue is so exquisite. It is indeed a national treasure-level cultural relic," one staff member said with emotion.
"Yes, Mr. Su is so admirable for donating such a precious cultural relic to the country," another staff member also said.
Zhang Qizheng said with a smile: "These cultural relics originally belonged to our China. Our boss is just letting them return to where they should be."
After visiting the storage room, the two parties began to discuss the specific matters of the donation handover.
Then, they signed a donation agreement, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties.
On August 22nd, the donation ceremony was held on the grand 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 could pay attention to and protect the country's cultural relics.
"Today, I am very honored to be able to donate this Horse-Head Bronze Statue 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 that we can 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, the curator of the National Museum of China, also stepped onto the stage and delivered a thank-you speech.
He thanked Su Cheng for his generous donation. He said that the museum would properly preserve this Horse-Head Bronze Statue and make it a valuable asset of the Chinese nation.
"Mr. Su's patriotism has deeply moved us. His donation will make a huge contribution to our country's cultural relic protection cause. We will preserve this Horse-Head Bronze Statue with the highest standards and make it the treasure of our museum.
At the same time, we also hope that more people can be like Mr. Su, pay attention to and protect the cultural relics of China, and contribute to the inheritance of our national culture." Qin Ping's speech also won warm applause from the audience. (End of this chapter)
