Easy Tycoon

Chapter 920

"Xiao Jing, why hasn't this museum opened yet?" Looking at the closed museum in front of him, Shao Mingzhong was also puzzled.He had already learned about the information about the Grand Canal Leisure Park before coming here, so he naturally knew that the Grand Canal Museum was the essence of the entire Grand Canal Leisure Park.It's just that the leisure park is now open, but why is this museum still silent?
"Uncle Shao, the main reason is that some of the exhibits in the museum are not ready yet, and I have some expensive exhibits overseas that cannot be shipped into China for the time being. As you know, there is a tax policy on antique art in China, which makes me very embarrassed. "Yang Jing smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "So, it will take some time for the opening of the museum, but this time should not be too long. I estimate that the museum will be able to open in half a year at most."

Shao Mingzhong also shook his head helplessly. As a senior official in charge of culture in Lu Province, he naturally knew the current domestic rules on the entry of foreign antiques and artworks, especially the frighteningly high taxes.

But he is not the leader of the country and cannot change this status quo.

"Uncle Shao, Uncle Yang, do you want to go in and have a look? Although the museum is not open now, it is almost packed inside, and some exhibits have also been put into the underground vault. If you are interested, you can enjoy them in advance baby."

Shao Mingzhong and Yang Zhengyu looked at each other, and Yang Zhengyu asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jing, is it appropriate to do this? I mean, are the security measures in the museum guaranteed? After we go in, will there be any harm to the security? What adverse effects are there?"

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, Uncle Shao, you can rest assured about this. The security measures in this museum are very strict, so you can visit in advance."

Shao Mingzhong is not a Moji person either, so he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then let's appreciate the treasures you have collected in the past few years in advance. I met Lao Bai at the meeting in Yanjing last fall." Once, he was full of praise for the treasures you collected, so that my old man wanted to take a look."

The Laobai that Shao Mingzhong said was Gege's father and Yang Jing's father-in-law.The father-in-law knows exactly what Yang Jing has in his collection through Ge Ge's mouth.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look." Then, Yang Jing took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, which was Wang Jiazan's mobile phone number. After a while, a small door on the side of the museum gate opened. Wang Jiazan hurried over.

"Old Five, let me introduce you. This is the senior official Shao who is in charge of cultural affairs in Lu Province. This is Secretary Yang, the secretary of Tianqu. This is Mayor Chen, the mayor of Tianqu. Uncle Shao, Uncle Yang, Mayor Chen, this is my good friend from university, Wang Jiazan, who is currently the curator of the Grand Canal Museum."

Hearing Yang Jing's introduction, Wang Jiazan bowed respectfully to the leaders, and under his leadership, a group of leaders entered the museum through the small door.

At this moment, the museum is still empty. Although the booths and bulletproof glass cabinets have been arranged, there are no exhibits inside. Some treasures in Yang Jing's space are currently stored in the underground vault.

These are big leaders, and the big boss Yang Jing is personally accompanying them, so the group easily entered the underground vault.

Of course, during the process of entering, these leaders were also amazed.

Shao Mingzhong even jokingly said: "Xiao Jing, the strength of your safe is stronger than the underground vault of the bank in my opinion!"

Yang Jing smiled and said nothing.Just kidding, to put it bluntly, the value of the gold and banknotes stored in the bank's underground vault is really inferior to the value of the antique artworks stored in the museum's underground vault.

For example, take the underground vault of ICBC Tianqu Branch as an example. Although Yang Jing doesn't know how many banknotes, gold, and securities are stored in that underground vault, it must definitely not exceed 50 billion national currency.

But how much are the treasures stored in the underground vault of this museum worth?Among other things, the three bronze sculptures alone are probably worth more than [-] million national currency!
What?If you don’t believe me, let me ask you, how much is the bronze sculpture “David” made by Michelangelo worth?
How much is the original bronze sculpture of "The Discus Thrower" made by the ancient Greek sculptor Myron himself?
Also, how much is the bronze sculpture of "The Child Holding a Goose" created by the famous sculptor Boedos of Chalkidon in ancient Greece in the third century BC?
It is no exaggeration to say that if the bronze sculpture "David" made by Michelangelo himself was released for auction, it would definitely fetch a jaw-dropping price.

Although Yang Jing doesn't know how much this bronze sculpture can fetch, Yang Jing can assure you that [-] million US dollars is definitely only a lower limit. As for the upper limit, if you say one billion US dollars or more, I'm afraid someone will take it. !

After all, this is the bronze sculpture "David" made by Michelangelo himself!

It's as if you ask how much Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa Smile" is and how much the "Venus with a Broken Arm" is. No one can give a specific price!
What is stored in this underground vault now are all treasures from the treasures of the last tsar that Yang Jing obtained in Siberia.These precious antique works of art have already appeared. When they were doing cultural preservation work, the experts from the Palace Museum had already seen them, so there is no need to store them in the space.Yang Jing took these treasures to this underground vault early on.

The treasures that can be transferred by Nicholas II are naturally peerless treasures loved by Nicholas II.But these treasures are all placed in the underground vault belonging to Yang Jing, so when these leaders saw these treasures, they were immediately speechless from shock.

These treasures are unique in the world, and even the least valuable jewels are treasures worn by successive tsars, queens and empresses of the Romanov dynasty in Russia.The so-called worthless is just for other more precious antique artworks in this batch of treasures. If these jewels are placed outside, they will immediately cause a sensation!
Shao Mingzhong is a high-ranking official in charge of cultural work in Lu Province, and he has some knowledge about antiques and artworks.

So, when he saw the bronze "David" and the bronze "Discus Thrower", he was stunned.

"Xiao Jing, don't tell me that these two bronze sculptures are genuine?" After a long time, Shao Mingzhong asked tremblingly.

Yang Jing smiled and said in a joking tone, "Uncle Shao, congratulations for getting the answer right."

"Ah? Is this really the real thing? Michelangelo and Myron's real thing?" Shao Mingzhong was even more shocked now.

Yang Zhengyu asked puzzledly from the side: "Guan Shao, aren't the authentic works of "David" and "The Discus Thrower" abroad? How come these two bronze sculptures by Xiaojing have become authentic again?"

Shao Mingzhong explained with some excitement: "Old Yang, you don't know about this. Although the foreign "David" and "The Discus Thrower" are all marble sculptures, they are actually copied from bronze sculptures. The real David and the Discus Thrower are actually two bronze sculptures."

"Ah? Senior Officer Shao, you mean to say that these two bronze sculptures are actually the real thing?"

Shao Mingzhong had also recovered at this time, and he said with a wry smile: "You have to ask Xiao Jing about this. But I can tell you that if these two bronze sculptures are really genuine, then their value is enough to repair a few more big ones." Canal Leisure Park”

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said: "Uncle Yang, Uncle Shao, I have a problem, that is, I never accept fakes. All the treasures here have been appraised by many experts from the Palace Museum, and they are unmistakably genuine. !"

This time, even Yang Zhengyu and Chen Zesheng beside him were dumbfounded.
