The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

The dust of the night porcelain auction was settled, and major media rushed to report on it, which aroused great repercussions in China.

First of all, the price of this piece of porcelain, plus a commission of 2 million yuan, ranks in the top ten in the auction records of Huaguo porcelain!

This lot also set a record for the highest single-item transaction in J's this autumn auction. In the eyes of the public, such an unattainable price is enough to attract people's curiosity and surprise.

The second is its importance. It can be rated as a national first-class cultural relic and a national treasure. It is itself the world-famous Yuan blue and white. The story of "Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin" is very representative and has an extraordinary history. significance.

The most important thing is that this rare national treasure was finally photographed by Chinese people after fierce competition from collectors from all over the world. place!

"Yuan blue and white Xiao Heyue chased Han Xin's plum vase 'remnant vessel' to a record price of 2 million yuan, and the buyer was a young Huaguo."

Just looking at the title has attracted a lot of attention, and they were shocked after clicking on it.

【Oh my god, this... is too young! 】

[It's [-] million in one shot, I'm so jealous, the top rich second generation? 】

[Ah, ah, so handsome, so handsome, even more handsome than a celebrity. 】

[Sisters, I was shocked when I saw the character introduction later. 】

[Yunzhou, 23 years old, graduated from S University, national treasure-level cultural relic restorer, national intangible cultural heritage inheritor, one of the founders of the Museum of Ancient and Modern, antique appraisal expert, top collector...]

[Fuck, these titles, I kneel down! ! 】

【Mom asked me why I knelt and looked at my phone——】

【Wuuuu, I'm also 23 years old, I'm just a trash QAQ】

……

No one thought that this piece of porcelain worth 2 million yuan was photographed by a young man.

They thought it was a big entrepreneur, a well-known wealthy businessman, or a patriotic overseas Chinese, etc., but they didn't expect that the buyer was a young man who had just graduated less than two years ago, and he was such a powerful young man.

Any title on his head is an achievement that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and the other party is only 23 years old this year, which is really incredible.

How could there be such a genius?

How on earth is this possible? !

So the topic gradually expanded.

Some people began to dig deep into Yunzhou's background, thinking that there must be capital support behind him; some admired his appearance and talent, and became fans of him; Management, why can achieve such outstanding achievements.

Of course, many people questioned it, and they didn't expect to be slapped in the face as soon as they said it.

[Laughing, I believe everything I say, and I even said that I am the richest man. 】

[Cut, then you have the ability to shoot, let alone 2 million, you don't even have 2 yuan, right? 】

[Picture.jpg, keep your eyes open to see that the latest batch of intangible cultural heritage heirs has Yun Zhou's name. 】

[Is he also one of the legal persons of the Ancient and Modern Museum? 】

[It's really ignorant, don't you know that the Museum of Ancient and Modern Times is very popular among the rich?Oh, sorry, I forgot you're not eligible. 】

……

For a while, the discussion on the topic of Yunzhou rose steadily.

He is like a treasure, attracting people to discover it; the popularity of ancient and modern museums is also high, bringing a steady stream of visitors.

The young man and his museum went viral on the Internet.

**

At this time, Yunzhou has returned to China with the Yuan blue and white plum vase.

In recent days, he has rejected dozens of media interviews one after another, more than a dozen brokerage companies that invited him to be an Internet celebrity, and hundreds of companies that hoped to discuss cooperation with the Museum of Ancient and Modern Times.

There are also the media and paparazzi who followed him, who were so froze by Emperor Fengdu that they couldn't even hold the camera.

I wanted to sneak in but encountered ghosts hitting the wall, and I couldn't get close to the studio anyway, so I could only go back trembling.

Go back and spread the word in the industry, and everyone knows that this absolute master of metaphysics cannot be offended.

Being so frightened, the world is finally clean.

After Yunzhou came back, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, provincial museums, and several first-level museums all came to solicit his opinion and asked him if he wanted to donate this national treasure porcelain.

In fact, young people have also considered this issue.

The exposure of state-owned first-class museums is indeed higher than that of private museums, allowing more people to appreciate this rare Yuan blue and white plum vase.

However, this piece of porcelain is also a remnant, which is more in line with the theme of 'restoration' in ancient and modern museums, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Later, Yunzhou thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. He approached the staff of the National Museum, "If you have porcelains to exhibit, you can participate in the Yuan blue and white plum vase."

In such a large museum with a collection of more than one million items, the collections usually placed in the exhibition hall account for less than 5%, some even less than 1%, and the rest are stored in the warehouse.

Therefore, many collections are presented to tourists in the form of special exhibitions, each lasting about 2 months.

It is usually placed in the Museum of Ancient and Modern Times, and sent to the National Museum when it is exhibited, so that more people can see it.

This is indeed a good idea. The staff of the National Museum returned with satisfaction, while the other first-level museums could only leave with regret. Who made Yunzhou, a top restorer, join the National Museum.

After that, Yun Zhou started to restore this Yuan blue and white figure plum vase.

It is a relatively large vessel, about 44 centimeters high, 5.5 centimeters in diameter, with six layers of decoration on the whole body, and the composition is exquisite and complex.

However, the gap is at the edge of the mouth, and the character pattern of "Xiao Heyue Chasing Han Xin" on the abdomen is not damaged. It is only necessary to repair the miscellaneous treasure-covered lotus pattern on the bottle mouth and the twined lotus pattern on the upper shoulder.

It took more than a month for the restoration of Yunzhou to complete, and it officially met with tourists on January 1.

After the publicity and fermentation on the Internet, the number of visitors on that day exceeded 5000.

After that, the basic daily flow of people can be maintained at about 1500 people, and more than 3000 people on weekends.

This number has more than tripled than before!

Although January is the off-season, the monthly ticket sales exceeded 1, and the turnover exceeded 150 million.

Calculated in this way, the annual ticket revenue alone can reach 1800 million, which is equivalent to the profit of the teahouse, and the extra ticket prices in peak seasons have not been counted.

Not only that, the increase in the flow of people has triggered various chain effects, and the sales of cultural and creative products such as ancient porcelain ornaments have also grown rapidly, doubling in January.

As the number of people increases, the popularity of the Ancient and Modern Museum is also increasing. Even if the limelight passes, sales will increase compared to before.

Yun Zhou is very satisfied with this.

If the private museum continues to develop like this, then the 2 million spent on photographing this collection will soon be earned back!

**

Years later, the proofreading of the upper and lower volumes on the key content of the 'non-trace restoration' technique was finally completed.

There are a total of 456 pages, divided into two volumes, and there are various color pictures in it, which looks quite thick.

Yunzhou caressed the printed sample, turned his head and asked Master Feng: "I want to hand over the traceless restoration technique to the National Cultural Relics Restoration Department, do you agree?"

Most of the traditional skills are passed on by word of mouth. The master leads the apprentice, and the apprentice leads the next apprentice, and continues from generation to generation.

However, if the apprentice's comprehension is not enough, or if something unexpected happens, a inheritance may be cut off and it will be difficult to find traces.

If you want to recover and have to explore and learn from scratch, the price is too great.

On the contrary, the text can be handed down better.

However, he can understand the thoughts of Master Feng and his predecessors. Once the original technique is announced, it will lose its uniqueness and cause great loss to himself.

It is similar to a company that has spent 30 years researching the most advanced artificial intelligence, but at this time, it is absolutely impossible for him to share the research results with other companies.

In ancient times, craftsmen relied on their crafts to make a living. As the saying goes, "the apprentices of the church will starve the master to death", so they will keep their skills when teaching them, and they will not teach them all, resulting in the loss or loss of many crafts.

But now the situation is completely different.

Now that traditional crafts are facing a crisis of inheritance, and there is a large gap in talents for cultural relic restoration, it is time to cultivate talents.

Master Feng looked at the handbook compiled by the young man with a lot of emotion: "Of course I have no objection, this is my greatest wish."

He was very pleased that he had accepted Yunzhou as his apprentice, this apprentice was outstanding and thoughtful, stronger than himself.

Yun Zhou's eyebrows and eyes are curved into a beautiful arc, he will definitely not let the inheritance be cut off here.

He will help the country train cultural relic restorers. There are so many cultural relics, how can he alone be enough.

When the third batch of restored first-class cultural relics was shipped back, the youth also came to the National Museum.

Due to the exhibition of Yuan blue and white plum vases, the deputy curator personally received Yun Zhou.

"This is..." He looked at the two booklets handed to him by the other party, flipped through them, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes when he saw the contents inside.

"It's the traceless restoration technique data that I compiled." Yun Zhou said with a smile.

The deputy curator couldn't hide his surprise on his face. Such an important skill was handed over like this?

And the content is very detailed, it can be seen that countless efforts have been spent, and there is no secret.

He knew that when Master Feng was alive, collectors all over the country wanted him to restore porcelain, and the fees were very high.

However, the young man in front of him actually handed over this treasure when he was in his 20s. What a heart.

"Thank you, thank you so much." The deputy curator's chest was burning hot. This will bring historic changes to the country's cultural relic restoration cause!

"It's okay." Yunzhou smiled brightly, "I am also a member of the Cultural Relics Restoration Department."

Department of Restoration of Ancient Ceramics of the National Museum.

The four restorers who received the traceless restoration materials were all shocked beyond words, with excitement and excitement emerging in their hearts at the same time, and more admiration for Yunzhou.

This is the real national treasure-level cultural relic restorer, and his feat will be recorded in history and passed down from generation to generation.

The deputy curator cleared his throat: "Everyone, Master Yunzhou will stay here for two months, and he said that he can ask for advice at any time if he has any questions.

In addition, he also donated millions of materials for everyone to learn better, so don't let the master's painstaking efforts live up to you. "

The old master, who is nearly sixty years old, was shaking with excitement and tears. He finally waited for this day. In his later years, he could finally get in touch with this lost skill.

The same is true for the others, wishing to let out a loud roar to express their inner joy and excitement.

During these two months, the restoration city of ancient ceramics from other museums in Kyoto also came here to learn this skill together.

"Master Yunzhou, do you think there is any deviation in the glaze color I prepared?"

"Master Yunzhou, I don't quite understand the ratio of the adhesive, can you help me take a look?"

"Master Yunzhou..."

Restorers who were much older than Yunzhou surrounded him humbly asking for advice, but no one felt that it was against harmony, as if it should be so.

Because in a sense, they are all apprentices of young people, and they have to respect each other from the bottom of their hearts.

Two months later, Yun Zhou returned to his alma mater and made an appointment with the principal of S University.

When he came to the principal's office, he said straight to the point: "Principal Ge, I want to donate a building."

Principal Ge trembled when he heard the words, and almost knocked over the teacup, looking at him suspiciously.

This is indeed a great event for the school, but he didn't expect that this student, who seemed to have just graduated not long ago, would open his mouth to donate the building!

When the other party introduced himself in detail and was about to show proof of assets, he suddenly remembered something.

Oh, it was him.

He had heard of Yunzhou, and he was so successful in his graduation defense that even the professor was amazed; after graduation, he opened the most popular private museum in the country in S City, and even he has been there, so he is a celebrity in S City.

Thinking of the popularity of the Museum of Ancient and Modern Times, Principal Ge felt excited. With the other party's financial resources, the donation of the building was more than enough.

He immediately cheered up, motioned to the secretary to bring the materials, and explained the process and costs in detail.

Yun Zhou nodded: "I understand the general cost, but I hope the school can apply for the addition of a major of 'cultural relic restoration'. At the same time, I will set up a special fund to train talents and set up scholarships for outstanding students."

The principal readily agreed that it would not be difficult to add majors, mainly because the other party offered too much.

Two years later, the 'Yunzhou Art Center Building' rose up in S University, becoming the largest teaching building in S University.

In the following days, batch after batch of well-known cultural relic restorers were born in this building, making the cultural relic restoration major of S University rank first among the same majors in the country.

Whenever people read the name of this building, they will think of Yunzhou, the great inheritor who promoted the restoration of national cultural relics by himself.
