Chapter 974 Donation
January 1, 2017.
At this time, a hall in the National Museum seemed very lively.
The reporters who came after hearing the news surrounded the place.
Because in this hall, there will be a donation ceremony later.
A mere donation ceremony, even if it is a donation of good cultural relics, should not attract so much attention.
More than 100 reporters from all walks of life were waiting eagerly, and at the same time, they were constantly updating news on social media of newspapers, magazines, and television stations.
Scenes like this only appear during major exhibitions every few years.
Since it's so lively today, something big must be happening.
Yes.
Today is the day when Shen Huan donated his treasured copybook of Li Bai's "The Road to Shu" written by Su Shi to the National Museum.
When the news came out in the morning, everyone thought it was fake news.
What a joke!
How many people are following "The Difficult Road to Shu"?
Yang Feng, the second richest man, couldn't buy it at the antique exchange meeting, so he chased it to Shen Huan's house, but he still couldn't buy it.
It is said that Yang Feng’s bid was 800 million yuan!
Not only Yang Feng, the third richest man, Yu Zitao of Beidou Holdings, is also very interested and wants to buy it for 1 billion yuan.
But Shen Huan still refused.
Everyone thought that Sister Xiaofeng was going to stay at home and give it to future generations as a family heirloom.
If one day the Shen family falls into decline, then by selling this copybook, future generations can still live a prosperous life for another hundred years.
Wait a minute.
You said that the national public museum has the right of first refusal?
It means that if a key treasure of the country is born, the country has the right to use the market price to purchase it first, and others cannot snatch it!
right!
There is such a right of first refusal.
But don’t you see what the price is?
800 million and 1 billion!
Even if you reduce it a little to give the country some face, you still need 600 million, right?
If the number were less than this, those museums would be called fools!
Because it’s obviously taking advantage!
Why should other people's things have to be sold to you at a low price just because the museum wants to collect them?
In this day and age, those things are no longer fashionable!
There must be fairness between the buyer and seller before a business can be done.
So in fact, over the years, many treasures living overseas have been basically purchased by private individuals and then donated to museums.
If we only rely on the strength and financial resources of these museums, we will only have a bitter smile.
Of course, when Yang Feng and Yu Zitao wanted to buy "The Difficult Road to Shu", it was definitely not for donation, but for their own collection.
Smart people like them all advocate diversification of investments. Having more money is actually of little use, while hard currencies such as gold and antiques can maintain and appreciate in value in many cases.
For example, according to what Mu Ruru said in casual chat, the Mu family has several tons of gold alone.
This is something that ordinary people can’t even imagine!
Come back to the present.
When everyone first heard the news that Shen Huan was donating "The Road to Shu", they all thought it was a joke.
As a result, the National Museum publicly mentioned this matter on its own account, and everyone believed it.
The Internet suddenly exploded.
"Holy shit! Is this true? A national treasure worth more than one billion yuan was donated as soon as you said it would be donated?"
"Is there still something fake? The National Museum has already paid me a small amount, so it must have been implemented before I dare to say anything."
"But...why? Is Sister Xiaofeng too rich?"
"What you said upstairs is wrong! Is Zheng Qian rich? Is Yang Feng rich? Is Yu Zitao rich? Why don't they donate their family property? Donating treasures has nothing to do with the size of their property, okay!"
"Strongly agree with the one above. Our sister Xiaofeng has a kind heart! She and teacher Chu Liuxiang have donated to hundreds of schools, and almost half of their income is used for charity. Such people are all over the world there's a few?"
"No, right? Shen Huan's endorsement contract is as high as several billion! How much is it for hundreds of schools?"
"You upstairs, didn't you take your medicine today? Did Sister Xiaofeng get her income in one lump sum? Divide it into several years and get it over decades!"
"What the hell! Should our Mr. Huan donate as much as he earns? Why? If you have the guts, why don't you donate 100,000 yuan to me?"
"That's right! I can't stand these trolls the most! It's not enough for people to actively do good deeds, but they also have to sell their blood to do good deeds, right? Your faces are so disgusting!!"
"..."
Regardless, the scolding war has gradually begun again on the Internet.
Shen Huan himself actually had unspeakable difficulties.
First of all, the most important thing is that "The Road to Shu is Difficult" is fake!
Fake!!
If it's true, Shen Huan sold it to Yang Feng and donated it. So much money was used to draw a lottery for Hao Ye. Isn't it delicious?
Do you think so, good master?
乛?乛
Since you are too embarrassed to sell it, of course you can only donate it, which can also gain a good reputation.
Anyway, there is no real "The Road to Shu" written by Su Shi in this world, so if Shen Huan wrote it and used the charm of Shen Yun, it can be regarded as a high imitation!
Major museums have collected many high-quality imitations, so Shen Huan is not ashamed at all.
Second, everyone knows that "The Road to Shu is Difficult" is in the hands of Shen Huan, so many people who are crazy poor and want to get rich must constantly want to steal "The Road to Shu is Difficult".
If this continues for a long time, it will be extremely dangerous to Shen Huan's life and the lives of his wife and children in the future.
In order to avoid these dangers, Shen Huan simply donated it so that no one would have to worry about it.
Have you ever wanted to go to the National Museum?
The third one was already set by Shen Huan.
It is also an important step and the final blow for Shen Huan, a collector of Japanese benzene antiques.
Only if everyone knows that Shen Huan donated the original to the National Museum, then they will know that the ones on the market must be fakes.
Counterfeit goods cannot deceive people.
This means that "The Road to Shu" in the hands of Kameda Joji and Odawara Akira suddenly became a waste!!
When the time comes, if they want to sell them, they can only sell them as imitations, and the price difference is not even a little bit different.
A national treasure bought for 100 million U.S. dollars can be sold for 1 million U.S. dollars, which is pretty good!
It was for these reasons that Shen Huan made the decision to donate.
And he couldn't just donate immediately after returning from Japan.
Because the front legs were sold to the Japanese people yesterday, and you donated the back legs today, there is something wrong with it.
Too many coincidences will definitely make people confused and suspicious.
In order not to involve herself, Shen Huan chose this first day of the new year to donate.
Chapter completed!
