No, Neil, you misunderstood me. I have other trading collections that I haven’t brought up yet, Yu Feiyu said in astonishment.
Neil stood stunned on the spot.
In the end, Yu Fei opened ten precious Chinese works of art, including the Picture of Women's History and the Three Colored Arhat of Liao Dynasty. It's not that Yu Fei doesn't want to mention the other works of art. In fact, Yu Fei only remembers Great Britain in his memory.
These ten items from the museum’s collection.
As you can imagine, these ten pieces must be the ten most valuable and famous works of art.
And this condition is obviously unacceptable to Neil. If nothing else, if these ten works of art are completely exchanged with Yu Fei, the permanent exhibition hall of Chinese art on the 33rd of the British Museum will drop at least two levels and his own museum will
There is no need to do it if you are a long-term person, you will definitely be kicked off the stage.
Mr. Yu, I'm sorry, but I can't accept your conditions. Neil looked sad, swallowed, and said with difficulty.
Yu Feixin said: Of course I know you can't accept it. I'm asking for an exorbitant price to give you the chance to pay back the money.
After some hard bargaining, Yu Fei's list of exchanged artworks was finally reduced from ten to six.
But even so, Neil can't guarantee that the exchange will be successful. He needs the consent of other decision-makers. But with this transaction agreement, he really has no confidence.
Neil, you know, I am very sincere and have made a lot of concessions. I do not want to have any further discussions about the exchange agreement. Yu Fei said. He wanted to show that this was his limit.
, will not make any more concessions.
Regardless of exchange or not, you don't need to be embarrassed. Please give me a result as soon as possible. I can't wait for a long time. Yu Fei looked at the time and said: Let's do it. It's limited to three days. If within three days
If I don't get your reply, I will contact Mr. Bafaya, please understand.
Neil nodded, shook hands with Yu Fei and walked out.
Princess Alice didn't know what kind of agreement Yu Fei and Neil had reached. She just looked at Director Neil who walked out of the restaurant like a victim girl who had just left the scene of a rape case. Although Yu Fei walked out afterwards.
He wasn't overjoyed, but he couldn't even hide his excitement.
You guys finished talking so quickly, Princess Alice said knowingly.
Neil showed a wry smile and said: If we continue talking, I may have to sell myself to Mr. Yu.
Yu Fei then said: Your appetite is too good. I can't afford it. But Mr. Neil can consider working in the Yongle Museum.
Neil has worked in the British Museum for many years and has rich experience. In contrast, although Dong Dechang has been in pawn shop management for many years and has rich experience, he lacks experience in museum operations. So if Neil is really willing to consider changing jobs to Yongle
If it were a museum, Yu Fei would definitely welcome it with applause.
Of course, it is impossible for Neil to go. Not to mention Yu Fei’s Yongle Museum, even the Palace Museum cannot compare with the British Museum
Thank you for your invitation. But I have no plans to leave London yet. As expected, Neil refused without thinking.
That's a pity. Yu Fei doesn't care either. This is to be expected.
However, I have prepared a high salary for Mr. Neil. Yu Fei still wants to use the high salary to win over Neil.
Neil obviously didn't care, but changed the topic and said: Yu, I heard that your country recently unearthed the original copy of the Yongle Dadian. I don't know who the discoverer is.
The Yongle Dadian enjoys a high reputation internationally and is known as the largest encyclopedia in the world's history. The intact unearthing of the original copy not only caused a sensation in China, but also had a great impact internationally.
As the director of the British Museum, Neil is obviously very concerned about this matter. He just took this opportunity to learn more about Xiang Yu Fei.
Hearing Neil ask this question, both Yu Fei and Princess Alice had strange expressions on their faces.
What's the problem? Neil asked strangely.
That's not true. Yu Fei shook his head and said: It's just that I am familiar with this person.
You are very familiar with it. Neil showed an expression of surprise and said: That's great. You must introduce it to me when you have the opportunity. I have admired your country's Yongle Ceremony for a long time.
There are more than 40 and 80 copies of the Yongle Dadian in the British Museum. Neil once read it by chance. He immediately admired the breadth of the Yongle Dadian and felt very sorry that it was lost. This time he listened to it.
He said that the successful discovery of the original Yongle Dadian made him really want to visit it with his own eyes. If it were not for the mundane affairs of the British Museum, Neil would probably be in China now.
Neil, I don’t think there is any need to look for another chance. Alice smiled narrowly and said that she knew that Yu Fei was the discoverer of the original Yongle Canon.
Oh, what do you mean? Neil asked strangely, but then his eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Yu Fei intently, with an expression of disbelief.
It seems you have guessed it. Princess Alice said: Yes, Yu is the discoverer of the original Yongle Dadian, and the Yongle Museum in Yu was built to preserve the Yongle Dadian.
Is this true? Neil stopped immediately. He didn't expect that Yu Fei would be the discoverer of the Yongle Dian. This is really incredible. He is really a young man who creates miracles.
Yu Fei nodded and said: Yes. But discovering the original Yongle Ceremony is not my fault alone.
This is not important, this is not important. Neil said repeatedly: Yu, I have a proposal now, I hope you can allow it.
I would like to hear the details, Yu Fei said.
I want the British Museum to establish a cooperative relationship with your Yongle Museum so that we can exchange exhibits in the future, Neil said.
As soon as Neil's words came out of his mouth, Yu Fei was moved.
This is great news for him. Although Yu Fei has the Yongle Grand Ceremony as the treasure of the museum, the other exhibits are still too few and monotonous. If a cooperative relationship can be established with the British Museum, the dilemma of the exhibits will be solved.
The solution was solved, and even after flying, a special exhibition of foreign antiques could be held. He had already thought of the advertising slogan, which was called: You can see the British Museum without going abroad. Looking at the country, no museum has such honors and treatment.
Woolen cloth
I don’t think anyone can refuse such good news. Yu Fei said with a smile.
So you agreed. Neil said in surprise: That's great.
The two of them finalized a new agreement in a few words, and then Neil left.
So, tell the truth, you have gained a lot this time, right? After Neil left, Princess Alice asked narrowly.
It was just a reasonable exchange. Yu Fei shook his head and pretended to be calm and said, seeming to be a little dissatisfied.
Why didn't it meet your expectations? Princess Alice asked strangely. When he came out, Neil was like a widow. Now it seems that Yu Fei is not happy either. What's going on?
Yu Fei briefly introduced the contents of the preliminary agreement to Princess Alice.
At this time, Princess Alice couldn't even close her chin. Although Giacometti's masterpiece is very valuable, such a bronze sculpture was exchanged for six precious Chinese artworks, including the three-color Arhat in the Women's History.
The content of such an agreement is so surprising. Princess Alice almost doubted whether Yu Fei held a knife to Neil's neck, otherwise how could Neil sign such a contract? If Neil really went back with such an agreement
If you do, you will probably be eaten alive by other managers.
"How could Neil agree to such an exchange agreement?" Princess Alice said.
Nothing is impossible in the world. Yu Fei smiled and said: As for why he agreed, you can only ask Neil.
Well, since Yu Fei is so persistent and confident, Alice doesn't have to worry about them.
What made Alice even more unexpected was that the British Museum provided the final processing results in less than three days. Such efficiency is indeed very rare for a behemoth like the British Museum with a history of hundreds of years.
Yu Fei opened the envelope with the words "British Museum" printed on it with a trembling sound. Success or failure depended on this. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
The paper still smelling of ink was opened. When he saw the words on it, Yu Fei's face changed. To be continued...
