Chapter 851 Press Conference
Moreover, the crystal skull has been widely praised and criticized internationally. Some are said to be modern forged, and some are said to be the symbol of Mayan civilization. It is relatively controversial. Even if it is launched now, I'm afraid that no treasure of Klaus has a sensational effect.
The golden mask is different. As an important part of ancient Egyptian civilization, it can be launched as a part of Klaus's treasure or as an independent cultural relic. I believe it will have a great impact on the world's archaeological community.
"You...what did you say? The golden mask of ancient Egypt? Cough...cough..."
Huangfuyun was drinking tea, but he was shocked by Zhuang Rui's words and swallowed the hot tea in his stomach. Suddenly, he choked and coughed repeatedly, and his white face turned red.
No wonder Huang Fuyun was surprised. The Egyptian golden mask is one of the most exquisite and precious ancient art treasures in the world, and today, it is the main symbol of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
The significance of the golden mask to Egypt is no less than the meaning of the long-lost He Shibi to China, which is to witness the most important inheritance of a country's civilization and represents the long glorious history of a country.
And so far, only such a golden mask has been unearthed from the Egyptian pyramids. Whether it is artistic value or market value, it is immeasurable.
Compared with the golden mask, Captain Klaus's golden anchor treasure is much inferior.
Of course, the golden mask is also a part of the treasure, which can better explain how much wealth those big pirates across the world had left for people to develop centuries ago.
"Yes, it is definitely the golden mask of ancient Egyptian civilization, and it is more exquisitely made than the golden mask unearthed in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutcarmon.
Brother Huangfu, you can prepare for it. How to announce this discovery to the world? I think this will definitely make our museum famous, right?
Huang Fuyun believed very much in Zhuang Rui's professional appreciation level. After listening to Zhuang Rui's words, he calmed down. After pondering for a while, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Zhuang, the most important thing now is to strengthen the safety of the museum. I hope you can allocate another amount of money for the museum. In terms of safety transformation..."
"Brother Huangfu, our current security facilities are already first-class in China. There is no need to transform them, right?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned when he heard the words. He knew that nearly 10 million yuan had been invested in the safety facilities where the museum was built. Why did it need to be strengthened? Even if the golden mask is worth a lot of value, it won't make such a fuss, right?
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Huang Fuyun smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhuang, you're right. The security facilities of our museum are indeed first-class in China. Compared with the current exhibits, the security facilities are enough, but with the golden mask, it won't work. It must be strengthened to the international first-class. In terms of staffing, it needs to be more reasonable. Security personnel should also be deployed on the roof of the museum, and the outside patrol must be doubled to ensure that there is no mistake..."
After listening to Huang Fuyun's explanation, Zhuang Rui knew that the value of the golden mask was far beyond his imagination. In order to preserve this mask, the Cairo Museum of Egypt spent nearly tens of millions of dollars on safety investment. Even so, he was almost won by international robbers twice.
In the international collection world, some billionaires like to collect the most precious cultural relics in major museums. As a result, there are also some elegant thieves who specialize in stealing cultural relics in the world, commonly known as international cultural relics thieves.
Precious cultural relics such as golden masks and precious oil paintings, which are well-known in the international art market, have always been the targets of international cultural relics thieves. There are several Picasso sketches in Zhuang Rui's museum, which are very attractive.
If you add this golden mask and Klaus's treasure, I believe that Zhuang Rui's Dingguang Museum will immediately attract the attention of many international robbers.
"How much more does it cost?"
Zhuang Rui said that he has a lot of treasures now, but he doesn't have much capital left. The 2 billion yuan invested in uranium mines has almost squeezed out all of Zhuang Rui's funds. Now he only has more than 3 million left, which will be used for the daily expenses of courtyards and manor.
"If you want to ask Yang Jian about this, he is the security director..." Huang Fuyun replied.
"Well, call Yang Jian..." Zhuang Rui nodded and picked up the phone.
......
"Mr. Zhuang, are you back?"
A few minutes later, Yang Jian rushed to the office and was a little surprised to see the tanned Zhuang Rui, but it was not as exaggerated as Huang Fuyun. After all, his relationship with Zhuang Rui was not as close as Huang Fuyun.
"Sit down, I have something to discuss with you..."
After Zhuang Rui asked Yang Jian to sit down, he talked about the whole story, and finally asked Yang Jian how much money he would need to invest to strengthen the museum's security work into a world-class museum.
Although Zhuang Rui has no money in his hand, as long as there is a rumor, I believe that there will be countless people interested in the gold coins in Klaus's treasure alone. How can hundreds of thousands of gold coins be turned over hundreds of millions of dollars?
Not to mention that there are hundreds of millions of gold bricks hidden in Zhuang Rui's basement. This thing is a national reserve material, which can be exchanged for cash when taken to the bank.
"Yang Jian, can you see how the safety work of the museum will be strengthened? In addition, how much money is needed?
In order to launch the treasure of the great pirate Klaus and this golden mask, Zhuang Rui decided to renovate the museum regardless of cost.
In the early days of the museum, Zhuang Rui's goal was to build this museum into a world-class museum like the British Museum.
Picasso's sketch is the first step of Zhuang Rui's grand goal, and the current Klauss treasure brings the Dingguang Museum one step closer to the goal of the world-renowned museum.
Yang Jian had heard Zhuang Rui's words clearly and pondered for a while. He said, "Now several idle exhibition halls need to be equipped with infrared alarm equipment. In addition, central air conditioning and exhaust ventilation pipes also need to install special anti-theft systems...
In addition, the electricity system of the whole museum must be comprehensively modified to prevent the power outage from creating opportunities for criminals..."
Although the museum now has a backup generator, the backup generator will not start until a period of time after the power is cut off. Although the time is very short, it is enough for many smart international thieves to take advantage of it.
Finally, Yang Jian estimated an approximate quotation, which actually required nearly 30 million RMB, which is only a hardware facility, not including the salary cost of recruiting security personnel.
And the museum will take up to half a month, that is to say, the museum will not be able to open normally in this half month, which will also cost millions of RMB, but for Zhuang Rui, this money is nothing.
"Culture Director Huangfu, how much is the turnover of the museum in the past few months?" Zhuang Rui is poor now. If he had known it, he would not have invested in African uranium mines. It is estimated that it will take at least one or two years to see the benefits.
"With the removal of employee salaries and daily maintenance expenses, there are still 39 million RMB left on the book. Mr. Zhuang, if you are not here for the Spring Festival this year, we haven't paid a penny for the holiday fee..."
Huang Fuyun said half jokingly that his rights are limited to signing the salary scale, and the benefits and some other expenses must be made by the boss.
Zhuang Rui thought for a moment and said, "Well, take out three million yuan as last year's year's year-end bonus, and another 30 million yuan as the renovation fund of the museum. Yang Jian, you are fully responsible for the project. The water must be built cannot be splashed in, and not a fly can be put in..."
"Yes, Mr. Zhuang, don't worry..." Yang Jian stood up from the sofa."Sit down, sit down..."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand, motioned Yang Jian to sit down, looked at Huangfuyun, and said: Director Huangfu, please inform the travel agency in the capital that has a business relationship with us. From now on, the museum will be expanded and renovated, and it will be closed for half a month...
In addition, I will take out another fund as the publicity cost of the golden mask and the treasure of Klaus. I want everyone in the world in the archaeology and antique circle to know this news..."
When the Dingguang Museum opened, Zhuang Rui held a national industry conference and set up a professional website, which included almost all the top collectors in China. The momentum of the Dingguang Museum can now be said to be close to some well-known state-owned museums.
And this time, Zhuang Rui's heart is bigger. He is going to hold a worldwide academic conference, inviting well-known experts from all over the world to participate and verify the origin of the golden mask. In this way, the Dingguang Museum will definitely be famous in the world. Mr. Zhuang, don't worry, I will immediately send a letter to professional associations It will definitely make this press conference a sensation all over the world"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's ambition, Huang Fuyun was also excited. Because of China's cowardice in modern times, he was self-contained and rarely communicated with foreign countries, such as some precious cultural relics, and there was no entry or exit.
Therefore, the collections in domestic museums are basically carrying China's 5,000-year history and civilization, which is less in line with international standards. Even the Palace Museum is far from an international comprehensive museum.
If what Zhuang Rui said is true and can really take out the gold anchor and the Egyptian gold mask, then the Dingguang Museum will definitely set off an academic boom in the international scientific research and collection industry, and the Dingguang Museum will naturally become a comprehensive international well-known museum.
At that time, there will be no need to ask major travel agencies for the Dingguang Museum. Those travel agencies will definitely consciously regard the Dingguang Museum as an important exhibition point.
Famity has always been equal to income, otherwise those stars, why do they have to make one door every now and another? Isn't it just afraid of being forgotten by the public (PS: The second update, there is another chapter, but it's later. Friends can watch it tomorrow. Well, there are monthly tickets to vote out. Today's monthly It's terrible. It's going to be ** later.)
