Chapter 108
Chapter 108. Big Brothers Gather
After saying goodbye to Xiao Fei and the others, Ren Ping turned around and entered the administrative area of ​​the city museum.

This place is no better than the exhibition area, with sparse crowds, and isolation zones are set up in some places. Obviously there are important guests and they don't want to be disturbed.

After Ren Ping went upstairs, he didn't take a few steps when he bumped into Xin Ran head-on, and couldn't help smiling:

"Congratulations to Xin Guan, your deputy position has been changed to a full-time job, and you look much younger."

It is no secret that Xin Ran was promoted to the director of the Municipal Museum, but the official appointment was only yesterday. Coupled with the opening of the theme exhibition today, it can be said to be a double happiness.

Xin Ran couldn't help but smile on his face, but he quickly restrained himself, dragged Ren Ping to the office, and lowered his voice:
"You are called for an urgent matter, and it is best for you to come forward."

"what?"

"About the ownership of the two Flora cups."

"Two?"

Ren Ping was taken aback, and then realized: "You mean the April Cup and the August Cup? What do you mean by their ownership?"

Xin Ran sighed: "Originally, this matter has been finalized, but Mayor Zhang also has his own considerations. He asked us to think of a way, so we had no choice but to agree to it. That's it..."

Soon, Xin Ran told the whole story.

It's not complicated to say, Ren Ping can understand it as soon as he hears it.

It turns out that the National Museum came to Nanling for two purposes. One was to hold a theme exhibition, and the other was to escort the four animals outside the National Museum back to the capital.

In addition to the April and August cups, the two in the Jiangning Provincial Pavilion are also included.

This is a matter of course, and the provincial and municipal pavilions, as subordinate units, should undoubtedly fully cooperate.

But just now, the deputy mayor of Nanling City, surnamed Zhang, who was attending the opening ceremony, suddenly approached Xin Ran and proposed to try his best to keep the two Flower God Cups and let them find a way to mediate with the National Pavilion.

The reason is also very simple. This Mayor Zhang is in charge of cultural tourism, and cultural relics and exhibitions are also under his jurisdiction.

This theme exhibition is held so grandly, if these two Huashen cups can be preserved, it will definitely have a positive impact on the cultural tourism industry of Nanling City in the future, and it may become a striking city card.

From this point of view, these two Huashen Cups are of great significance to Nanling City.

Of course, Mayor Zhang would not say this in person, but could only leave it to Xin Ran.

And Xin Ran thought for a long time, how could he, a subordinate unit, make such a request to the superior unit?At this time, there is only one person who is best to speak, and that is Ren Ping.

"How could it involve me? I'm not part of your museum system?"

When he heard that Wang was the commander, the commander-in-chief, and the generals, he was the last one to call, Ren Ping couldn't laugh or cry, and thought to himself, aren't you throwing the blame?

Xin Ran couldn't help being embarrassed, and smiled:
"It's hard for you, Xiao Ren, I have nothing to do with it. It's really only you who are the most suitable to talk about it at this time."

"why?"

"Because you are the one who retrieved these two Flower God cups! For this, not only our city hall, but even the national hall owes you a favor, otherwise why would you allocate two days of exhibition time to your Renren Zhai?"

"I made a mistake when I helped, you just throw such a big problem to thank me?"

"How could it be? Hehe, in short, you found this thing, so it's your suggestion. It's logical."

Xin Ran had a smirk on his face.

Ren Ping didn't know what he was thinking. It was true that he had found the things himself, but more importantly, he was not in the museum system and was commonly known as Bai Ding.

Proposing in such a capacity, it is of course good if it succeeds, but if it fails, it will not involve other people, and the National Museum will not blame them.

That's the point!
Looking at the other person with eyes that seemed to be reacquainted with each other, Ren Ping couldn't help but sigh:

After all, he is just an official. He thought of a way to protect himself so quickly. Before he met himself, he thought he had a noble character.

Having said that, it's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that it's really difficult.

The Twelve Flower God Cups are a complete set of porcelain. It's okay to say that they were not collected before, but now that they are complete, how can they be collected separately?Unless you can find some plausible excuse.

Thinking of this, Ren Ping couldn't help but glance at Xin Ran again:
"I can try it, but it's hard to say if it will work, and what's the benefit after it works?"

"Benefits? You found the August Cup before, and you already took 1000 million."

"That's two different things, I say this time."

He looked like he had nothing to lose.

Xin Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking he was a businessman after all, fortunately he reacted quickly enough:

"By the way, aren't you in the home improvement business? In addition to cultural tourism, Mayor Zhang is also in charge of the real estate market. With this favor, you understand."

"Don't fool me, the mighty mayor, how can I ask him for help?"

"Hey, don't be afraid of being an official, just be afraid of being in charge. You don't even understand this principle? As long as you have favors, are you afraid that there will be no place to return them in the future?"

Ren Ping frowned slightly and thought:
"Well, you won't lie to me, will you?"

"Why am I lying to you, please before it's too late, remember that if all goes well, the two from the Jiangning Provincial Museum will also stay together."

"What? Two more!"

"Don't even think about it. If the two from the city hall want to keep them, wouldn't the provincial hall not want them?"

Hurrying to the largest reception room in the city museum, the two opened the door and entered, only to see that it was already full of people.

The first host is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a Chinese character face, fair skin, and a pair of piercing red phoenix eyes. He looks very energetic. I met him at the opening ceremony just now. He is the mayor of this city, Zhang.

The next main man is not very old, in his early fifties, he looks thin and small, with a smile on his face, but his temperament is very extraordinary.

Ren Ping had long been introduced by Xin Ran. This person's surname was Yan, and his name was Yan Jiang. He was the dean of the Porcelain Academy of the National Museum and also the deputy director.

According to the seven major categories of cultural relics, the core professional institutions of the National Museum are the corresponding seven courtyards, namely the Porcelain Academy, the Bronze Ware Academy, the Jade Academy, the Ancient Spring Academy, the Painting and Calligraphy Academy, the Ancient Books Academy, and the Miscellaneous Academy.

The Porcelain Academy ranks first among the seven courtyards. In addition to the high influence of porcelain itself in the cultural relics world, the Dean Yan also contributed a lot.

It is said that he is the only dean who can also serve as the deputy director of the National Pavilion since its establishment decades ago. He is in the main hall, slightly higher than Mayor Zhang who is sitting opposite.

As for Ren Ping, this Dean Yan Jiang has a lot of connections with him. The last time he was framed and imprisoned by Liu Shitang, it was at the critical moment that Hu Yitang found this person to establish a relationship from top to bottom and saved his life.

So no matter what, I always have a kindness in my heart.

At this time, Yan Jiang and Mayor Zhang were chatting casually, and the topics were nothing more than some cultural relics protection and promotion.

After Ren Ping sat down, he glanced around and saw that most of the other people he didn't recognize were probably from both the National Pavilion and Nanling City.

The only person he recognized was Hu Yitang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He was sitting at the head of Yan Jiang and nodded to him.

Then there was another spiritual old man next to him, who looked less than 60 years old. Xin Ran introduced in a low voice that he was Director Yang of the Provincial Museum, a student of Hu Yitang, who was bowing his head and thinking about something at the moment.

It seems that what Xin Ran said is right, not only Nanling City Hall, Jiangning Provincial Hall also wants to keep their two flower cups, but they don't know how to say it.

"This is the little brother you mentioned earlier?"

After chatting for a while, Yan Jiang suddenly said to Hu Yitang beside him, but his eyes were directed at Ren Ping, who was sitting at the bottom in the distance.

Ren Ping stood up quickly when he heard the words, bowed slightly, but did not speak.

"Yes, it's him. Dean Yan also saw it with his own eyes. How amazing young people are today."

Hu Yitang smiled.

Before he finished speaking, Mayor Zhang and others all looked over. Outsiders had little idea of ​​how the two Flower God Cups were recovered, but they had already heard all the details from Xin Ran and Hu Yitang.

Right now, everyone carefully looked at this young man who looked to be in his early twenties, leaving the impression of "young talent" in his mind.

"Good young man! We've all heard about the two Huashen cups. You searched for treasures for the country at a young age, not only for the country, but also for us in Nanling City!"

Mayor Zhang was the first to laugh, he listened to the voice, he was a man of bold personality.

Ren Ping was still humble and said he didn't dare, until Yan Jiang on the opposite side smiled slightly:
"There is something I want to explain to you. I didn't introduce your credit for finding the national treasure at the opening ceremony just now. I ordered them specifically. Do you know why?"

Ren Ping was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood:

"This set of Twelve Flower God Cups is of great significance. The main purpose of this theme exhibition is also to commemorate my victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Compared with it, personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning, and it should not dilute the whole atmosphere because of this, otherwise it will be putting the cart before the horse .”

"Okay! Right on target! Then do you know why we decided to exhibit in your private museum for two days?"

"Isn't that a reward for me?"

"This is just one of them, what else?"

Ren Ping frowned slightly, and couldn't think of any other reason for a moment, and he came to his senses after a while:

"Since modern times, China's historical and cultural relics have been seriously lost. Many national treasures have been lost among the people. They were either stolen or sold illegally, or ordinary people hid them without knowing them, resulting in great losses,"

"At the beginning of this century, the National Museum advocated 'treasures for the people', unless important national treasure cultural relics, all encourage private collection,"

"With these two-day themed exhibitions, Renrenzhai will definitely become famous and have a lot of influence. Could it be that the National Pavilion is taking this opportunity to do typical publicity and encourage private development of private museums?"

After saying a word, Yan Jiang admired him all over his face, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

The rest of the national pavilion staff also nodded frequently, obviously this is the real intention of the national pavilion.

Encouraging the development of private museums among the people and hiding treasures for the people is a plan that benefits the country and the people!
Not to mention others, Xin Ran, Hu Yitang and others would not have thought of such a long-term view without being informed in advance.

And the young boy in front of him reacted so quickly!
Full of joy and admiration, Yan Jiang couldn't help getting up and leaving his seat, and walked to Ren Ping:
"It's rare. It's great that you can retrieve the lost cultural relics for the country. What's even more valuable is that you have such insight. It seems that my Chinese industry is not without successors,"

"Tell me! What reward do you want?"

The implication is to let Ren Ping raise conditions at will.

Xin Ran's eyes lit up immediately after hearing the words:
good chance!
