Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

What else can the museum do?

Chen Qi was full of doubts, but out of respect for Lin Ran, he agreed.

In the evening, Lin Ran was sitting in the bathtub enjoying himself when he received a call from Chen Qi.

He expressed great interest and said: "Teacher, can the plan be implemented immediately?"

"Of course, as long as you agree to the first step, I will take care of the rest." Lin Ran smiled.

"No problem, I can first spend 100 million to sponsor this event. After the results are achieved, I can explain it to the shareholders, mainly my father and brothers." Chen Qi said very sincerely on the phone.

He personally feels that the activity is very promising, but whether he can convince his family will have to come up with data.

His family, especially his father, often attends charity galas and spends hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars each time.

But these are extremely high-profile activities that can gain them prestige.

Sponsoring a museum that is on the verge of decline will do them no good at all.

As a citizen of Hong Kong City, I know a thing or two about the Municipal Museum. The Government-General does not like the Municipal Museum and keeps cutting their funding.

Sponsoring them is undoubtedly an act of confrontation with the Governor's Palace.

Even if they disdain the governance of British-appointed governors, how can they not bow their heads under the roof.

They will only take risks if the benefits far outweigh the risks.

There is no doubt that Lin Ran's suggestion is one of them.

Early the next morning, Wu Qingniu brought the raw materials to Lin Ran's residence. Today he will carry out the final restoration work on the calligraphy and painting.

I thought Lin Ran would be watching, and he was already ready to explain.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran asked him to repair it by himself in the hotel. After the repair was completed, he could just close the door for him.

"Huh? Don't you want to know how the recovery work is done?"

Lin Ran was naturally interested in calligraphy and painting restoration.

However, he probably guessed that the difficulty lay in the preparation of paper pulp and the derivative restoration of calligraphy and painting.

He still has a few calligraphy and paintings that need to be repaired. After returning to the mainland, there will be plenty of time to discuss them with him.

The top priority is to promote the museum.

With only four days left, he had to make sure nothing went wrong.

Carrying another planning document, Lin Ran came to the Municipal Museum alone.

There were only a few visitors in the museum, and the staff responsible for maintaining order were all yawning feebly.

Lin Ran patted his shoulder from behind, startling him.

"What are you doing? If you don't take a good tour, do you have any problem with me?"

"I want to see your curator." Lin Ran originally wanted to sneak in through the back door, but the back door obviously didn't open often.

When you go to the employee work area, there is a door that is closed from the inside. It is impossible to get in without the staff's key.

"Why are you looking for our curator? Who are you?" The security guard looked Lin Ran up and down. He looked like a kid in his early 20s. He didn't look like he knew the curator.

Lin Ran said, "My name is Chen Xing. Please go and say hello to Director Dong, and tell him that I have something to do with him. Things have been arranged for the day before yesterday."

The other party announced the director's name, and the security guard reluctantly agreed and lazily walked into the communication room.

After a while, he ran out anxiously.

"Mr. Chen, please wait. Director Dong is in the office on the fifth floor. I will open the door for you now."

Lin Ran couldn't help but find it funny that his attitude changed so quickly.

Lin Ran went straight upstairs to the curator's office.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Director Dong had already taken out the tea cup and poured water.

"Mr. Chen, welcome." As soon as the curator saw Lin Ran, he poured a third of the tea into the cup, put down the kettle, looked at him and smiled, "Mr. Chen, please sit down, by the way, your Where is the Xijiapan? Can you bring it to me next time?"

Lin Ran was sitting on the sofa, and he had no time to chat with Director Dong.

Instead, he took out a letter of intent for cooperation and the plan written last night and handed them to Director Dong.

"Apocalypse Fund?" Director Dong's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the cooperative unit.

Tianqi Fund is the largest investment institution established in Hong Kong City in recent years. The companies they invest in are basically ready to go public.

It's just that most of the projects they invest in are emerging electronic technologies, and the ones most relevant to them are investments in auction houses.

However, the auction house is somewhat profitable, but their museum has problems with self-financing.

But this is also a special thing about Hong Kong City. In the mainland, museums belong to public institutions, and relevant departments directly allocate funds to them. Most of the time, there is no need to worry about tourists.

However, since they refused to change the name, their nature has become a semi-private museum, and they are only given basic house maintenance expenses to repair the appearance of the museum for use. Maybe the Governor also believes that the collapse of a historical museum for no reason will affect their reputation. , so the money will be transferred to their account regularly every year.

However, the acquisition of cultural relics and employee wages were stopped last year.

At the same time, the management rights were also returned to the museum.

In the past, the museum's tickets were set by the Governor's Palace, but now, they have the right to make their own decisions.

It's just that their museum doesn't have many visitors to begin with, so if the price is too high, they can't even expect anyone to come.

Entering the market not only increases the risk, but also gives them certain opportunities.

Just like accepting investment!

However, Director Dong still found it difficult to accept this concept for a while.

"What they want is shares?" Director Dong shook his head quickly, "The museum has been established for so long, and I have never known the concept of shares."

"It didn't happen before, but it can happen now." Lin Ran said, "I think the management rights should be in your hands now, so of course you can take the market-oriented route."

After all, they are no different from private museums now.

Director Dong stood by the window and thought for a long time.

Then he sighed deeply and said: "Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but it's just that he gave venture capital, right? Does he have to sign some kind of gambling agreement? Where does our museum's revenue come from?"

After all, this is a financial city, and the current museum director also knows a lot about the operation of capital.

His worries were not groundless, so he had to read them in conjunction with Lin Ran's plan.

"You read this proposal first, and then we make a decision." Lin Ran took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner.

This plan was the key to making the boss of the investment institution immediately change his mind and decide to inject capital into them.

Of course, Lin Ran was not a business wizard, he just applied the routines that later generations were used to in this era.

Human nature has never changed from beginning to end.
