Chapter 642 The Lion's Big Mouth

"Is it as simple as you said?"

Zhuang Rui rolled his eyes. Although he had the idea of opening a museum before, he just thought about it. In Zhuang Rui's opinion, it is definitely a great thing to open a private museum.

In fact, Zhuang Rui's eyes have changed from last year to now, but it has only been more than a year. At some point, his consciousness is still in the perspective of an ordinary person, or Zhuang Rui is eager to live the life of an ordinary person. He does not realize that he can change a lot of people and things now.

And this change is also real. From the auto repair factory in Pengcheng to the 4s specialty store, from Masttypshop to "Xuan Ruizhai" in Beijing, as well as Xinjiang Jade Mine and Myanmar Green Mine, Zhuang Rui's status has quietly changed unconsciously.

Things like buying a plane can be done with money, but opening a museum requires approval and various procedures. Zhuang Rui is worried mainly because he does not have enough contacts and too few collections.

Subconsciously, Zhuang Rui didn't want to ask the Ouyang family for help, saying that whether he was hypocritical or hypocritical, Zhuang Rui was really a little resistant to this kind of relationship and asking for help.

If it can be done with money, Zhuang Rui is absolutely unwilling to ask for help.

"Hey, I said, buddy, what's there to worry about? If not, I'll mail all the antique swords I received abroad back to China and support the facade for you..."

Huangfuyun couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhuang Rui's scruples. He had long thought of opening an antique sword museum, but he didn't have enough financial resources, so he never put it into action. Now that it's such a good opportunity, won't Huangfuyun try his best to encourage Zhuang Rui to prepare it?

"Is it really as simple as you said?" Zhuang Rui didn't dare to believe it.

"How fresh is it? It's okay. I'll tease you?"

Huang Fuyun's attitude towards Zhuang Rui is very puzzled. How can this guy make the industry so big? As long as there is a relationship in China, you can open the museum opposite the Forbidden City Museum, and no one will care about you. Of course, I don't think anyone will go.

"Mr. Zhuang, is there something wrong?"

Bass Jimei saw Zhuang Rui constantly speaking Chinese with Huang Fuyun, and from time to time he showed a hesitant application on his face. He thought that Zhuang Rui was dissatisfied with his attitude in this regard. Then he said, "Mr. Zhuang, for the donation of the Frey family, I can tell you that the exchange problem is not very big. Now you only need to propose a few other collections of the exhibition hall, and I can submit them to the board of directors for discussion..."

To be honest, there are tens of thousands of Chinese works of art in the Jimei Museum, and there are only one hundred and eighty pieces. It's really not a big problem, but Picasso's works are not in the Jimei Museum. It's easy to distinguish which is more important.

Moreover, all the items in the Jimei Museum are not private and cannot enter the circulation market for trading. Bath Jimei does not have the right to engage in those corrupt things. It can make the museum more works of art of famous artists, which is what he wants to pursue.

With the above considerations, Bass Jimei is willing to make some concessions within his ability to leave Picasso's works in the Jimei Museum.

After hearing Bass's words, Huang Fuyun coughed hard, and while covering his mouth with his hand, he scratched his fingers around his neck. Zhuang Rui saw it very seriously and understood in his heart that this buddy was killing people with a knife.

"Cough... Mr. Bass, since you are so sincere, I will put forward the jade sculpture of "White Jade Tiger" on display in your museum. I personally like it very much. In addition, there are three pieces of "Elephant" bronze ware, as well as "Amida Western Pure Land Change Map", "Puxian Bodhis Buddha paintings can be included in this transaction..."

After getting Huang Fuyun's hint, Zhuang Rui simply opened his mouth. Originally, he said that there were three objects, but now he opened his mouth and put forward five pieces, and they were all treasures from the collection of the Jimei Museum. Lao Bass, who sat opposite him, was so surprised that he opened his mouth.

"Zhuang... Mr. Zhuang, there is a saying in your country that the lion opens his mouth. You... I'm afraid I can't do it under your condition..."

Bass stuttered and described the idiom of China in English. He was really scared by the price offered by Zhuang Rui.

The white jade tiger and those Buddhist portraits of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are fine, but the market of bronzes abroad has always been very good, and the trading price is also high.

The bronze ware of Xiang Zun proposed by Zhuang Rui is 96 centimeters long, 64 centimeters high and 45 centimeters wide. The length and width of the back opening is 26 and 21 centimeters. The abdomen and head are engraved with animal face patterns, and the ears, nose and feet are decorated with scales. It should belong to the late

This bronze ware is roughly the same as the collection of the British Museum in London and the Nejin Art Museum in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although the top cover has been lost and most of the elephant nose has been destroyed, it is still the largest animal statues known in the world.

In the spring of 2001, five pieces of Chinese bronze ware were launched at the special auction of Christie's Chinese porcelain and ancient handicrafts in New York, a bronze ware of the Chinese Shang Dynasty, which set the highest price of oriental art auction for 9.24 million US dollars (the previous chapter was a little wrong, That piece of porcelain is the second highest price).

Sotheby's in New York has had a record of Chinese bronze auction since about 2000. In the spring auction in 2003, the 6th late bronze tripod of the Shang Dynasty and the 117th bronze jia in the autumn of 2004 were sold for $1.4570,000.

From the above two auctions, we can see the popularity of Chinese bronzes in the international market. Although Zhuang Rui's five Picasso sketches are strange, the price is about 12 million euros at most. If the Jimei Museum really agrees with Zhuang Rui's exchange, it will be a bit of a big loss.

Because this bronze ware is almost similar to Picasso's works in terms of market value, and it also needs to be matched with more than 20 donations from the Frey family, white jade tigers and ancient paintings of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This condition is a little bullying.

So after Bass heard Zhuang Rui's words, Lian Shan showed a look of embarrassment. He was not sure that he could persuade the people of the board of directors to pass the transaction. After all, the exchanged items should at least be similar in the current market price. The museum also has special evaluators. The price difference is too large, and It was decided by the meeting.

"Mr. Bass, instead of these works of art in your museum being worthless here, it's better to replace them with something of corresponding value, which can also improve the popularity of your museum..."

Zhuang Rui also knew that his own conditions were a little too much, and he quickly added fuel and said, "If I can agree to the above conditions, I can consider giving you three sketches of Mr. Picasso's paintings free of charge, so that your museum can specially open a picture belonging to Master Picasso. What do you think of the counter?

Zhuang Rui has a total of 32 Picasso sketches. He showed Ezkenna six, and there are still 26 left. Even if he gives eight more to the Jimei Museum, there are still 16 left.

Zhuang Rui is also a little careful. Although he doesn't know how to appreciate the world's famous paintings, he has to keep a few pictures anyway. In that way, he will go out and say that he is also a world-class collector in the future, and he is more or less confident.

After Xiaozhi's affection, he still has to lure him for profit. The three Picasso sketches thrown by Zhuang Rui immediately shook Bass's confidence again. In recent years, Picasso's works have rarely appeared. If you miss this village, it is difficult to meet Zhuang Rui's store again.

At this time, Bass's attention was all attracted by the other three Picasso works mentioned by Zhuang Rui, but Huang Fuyun listened to it and couldn't help rolling his eyes at Zhuang Rui.

This guy is really shameless. He fired the boutiques of other people's collections, and on the other hand, he said that his things were given away for free. He was shameless and shameless.

"Mr. Zhuang, I can't reply to your request now, but I can submit it to the board of directors for discussion. In addition, I hope to take pictures of the eight works of Master Picasso you mentioned, so that I can better convince the members of the board of directors to agree to this exchange..."

After thinking about it for more than 10 minutes, Bass Jimei finally made up his mind. In fact, the really difficult objects to choose, even the bronzes, as for the donations of the Frey family, have been stored in the warehouse for 50 or 60 years, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

"There is no problem with taking photos, Mr. Bass. I hope that the board of directors of your museum can make the wisest choice. You know, Mr. Picasso's works are very rare now..."

Zhuang Rui said a lie with his eyes open, which added a little pressure to Old Bass.

In fact, there are definitely more Picasso's works than anyone imagined, but all the people who collect Picasso's works are unwilling to take them out.

"I will seriously consider your suggestion, Mr. Zhuang. I hope that in the near future, you can put our works of art in your museum. Similarly, the Jimei Museum can also have Mr. Picasso's works..."

Old Bass stood up, shook hands with Zhuang Rui formally, the secretary who had been sitting next to him, and also sorted out the record of Zhuang Rui's conversation with him. After Bass asked Zhuang Rui to confirm, he sent several people out of the office.

"Grandma's, my museum???"

After Zhuang Rui walked out of the curator's office, he scolded silently in his heart. His museum is still only in existence and imagination.

However, if the Jimei Museum really agrees to the exchange of cultural relics, Zhuang Rui does not have a museum in time, which can also be carried out. At worst, it will go to a domestic museum to sign an agreement. I believe that Chinese people are willing to see the return of the national treasure.
