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

"... Mingcheng Huadou Caitianzi Jar??" Seeing the name of the collection at the top of the list, everyone's eyes widened and they looked at each other. The first reaction was disbelief.

How is this possible?

The 12 Tianzi jars in the world are all in museums around the world, and the 13th one came out of nowhere!

Even Director Hu, who read out the name of the collection, had a sharp turn in the final tone, and the ending sound changed, giving people a particularly funny feeling.

However, none of the people present laughed, because they were all overwhelmed by this piece of porcelain.

This is a Ming Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Jar, which is even rarer than a Doucai Chicken Crock Cup.

There are a total of 12 complete utensils in the world, and there are only 8 in Huaguo. According to the level of cultural relics, it is not just a first-class cultural relic, it is a national treasure-level cultural relic!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Section Chief Wang stared at the name, wishing to stare at a hole, "It's really ridiculous, it must be fake——"

Just kidding.

A private museum has a national treasure-level cultural relic that any museum in the world can only dream of. This kind of fine imperial kiln has always been handed down only in the court. Where did he get it?

Moreover, when he and his colleagues persuaded Mr. Du to open the museum, they made a rough count of his collection, and there was no such porcelain in it.

It shows that this Doucai Tianzi jar belongs to the young man named Yunzhou.

Heh, a collector in his early twenties, at best he is called a collector, at worst he is an antique lover.

How long have you been in the antique business?

If this piece of porcelain is genuine, he put his face here and let him beat it.

Section Chief Wang was very disgusted with Yun Zhou's opportunistic actions, and immediately said: "The delivered collection has serious fraudulent behavior. According to the regulations, it should be rejected immediately, and no application will be allowed within half a year!"

Let the other party know that although the state supports the opening of private museums, it is not advisable to use fakes to fool people.

Others also thought it couldn't be true.

This feeling is like an ordinary person suddenly owning a luxury villa worth tens of millions, and winning the lottery is not so outrageous.

Director Liu mused: "I just saw the first one, and I'll discuss it after reading all of them, so that I can give a unified reply."

The first few pages are line-by-line catalog listings, followed by legal source descriptions and corresponding photos.

Some applications do not necessarily include photos, because the provincial department had contact with these big collectors several times before the review, and has a certain understanding of the number and scale of the collection, just like Mr. Du.

Coupled with the reputation of a top collector, it is naturally easy to pass.

However, Yunzhou's collection is still unknown.

So, they saw the name of the second collection in the catalogue: Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln Tianqing Glaze Washer.

Everyone: "..."

This is actually a bit too exaggerated.

The third collection: Song Jun Kiln Rose Purple Glazed Tripod Narcissus Basin.

The fourth collection: Yuan blue and white cloud dragon pattern eight-party jade pot spring vase.

The fifth collection: Ming Hongwu underglaze red peony pattern jade pot spring vase.

Everyone: "..."

This can no longer be called an exaggeration, it is simply heaven!

Any one of these pieces of porcelain is a rare boutique, and all of these are gathered in a private museum. How can they believe it?

Section Chief Wang was so angry that he blushed and his neck thickened: Shameless, really shameless.

I thought that a Ming Chenghua Doucai Tianzi pot was beyond imagination, but the next few... there must be a limit to fraud, right?

If it weren't for the fact that the museum hadn't announced the theft of the collection, he would have suspected that the crime was committed by a cultural relic smuggling gang.

Everyone continued to look back, good guy, the catalogs on the first few pages are almost all high-quality official kilns, and there are no traces of private kilns until there are more than 100 items.

Seeing this, even those who have heard of Mr. Du's fame can't convince himself, because it is really unbelievable.

"Director, I don't think it's necessary to continue reading such an outrageous catalog." Section Chief Wang frowned, "If the collection is allowed to be seen by the public, it will have extremely bad effects."

Director Liu glanced at him lightly, "No matter what, the provincial department must follow the procedures and continue to check."

Section Chief Wang stopped talking immediately, he wanted to see what else was wrong.

In the catalogue, apart from the more than 100 pieces of high-quality official kiln porcelain in the front, the collection in the back has become normal. Everyone knows the collection of Mr. Du, and they can basically match it.

Everyone's emotions have also eased a lot, and they feel relieved.

It seems that Mr. Du's collection is correct, and the other party does have the willingness to open a private museum, which is a good thing.

After reading the ten-page catalog, I thought there was nothing more to say, but I didn’t expect many photos to be attached.

"My God, those official kiln porcelains are all repaired from remnants, and some are made of pieces of broken porcelain!" Someone exclaimed.

Everyone immediately took a closer look. Chief Wang didn't take it seriously at first, but he also moved over after hearing it, wishing he could put his face on the photo.

The photos are very clear, fully showing the broken pieces of porcelain scattered before the restoration, and the flawless appearance after the restoration, which is breathtaking.

The shock caused by this strong contrast is no less than the shock when I saw the list just now.

Section Chief Wang saw the Mingcheng Huadou colorful Tianzi pot in the photo.

Originally, it was a remnant vessel made up of broken porcelain pieces, but the second photo turned into a complete vessel.He opened his eyes and looked desperately. The porcelain in the photo was very beautiful, exactly the same as the ones he saw in the Kyoto Museum.

One by one, the photos were flashed in front of everyone, and the more they looked at them, the more shocked they became. So many pieces of broken porcelain, so many porcelains, were repaired bit by bit.

"By the way, Yun Zhou is a restorer of ancient ceramic relics specially hired by the state!"

This sentence exploded in the minds of everyone like thunder, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

That's right, no one knows better than them the approval and instructions of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Yunzhou's restoration skills are definitely at the master level.

If it's someone else, they still don't believe it.

But it was a cultural relic restorer specially hired by the state, and the deputy curator Peng personally led people to review it. His "no trace restoration" technology caused a sensation in the cultural relic restoration department.

Therefore, these porcelains were all restored by the young man himself!

In other words, those exquisite official kiln porcelains are genuine products, all of which are genuine products after restoration!

In other words, is it true that Ming Cheng Huadou Caitianzi Jar and Ru Kiln Tianqing Glaze Wash? ?

Everyone couldn't help but fell into a trance.

Section Chief Wang was completely stunned.

Thinking of the words he swore, and seeing these photos at this time, each photo seemed to be approached with the most naked sarcasm, making his face hot.

Recalling his behavior like a clown just now, Section Chief Wang was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, his face turned red quickly, as if he had been slapped several times in a row.

He really never thought that pieces of broken porcelain could be pieced together into such exquisite porcelain.

In the following application review, he kept his head down to minimize his presence, and never said a word.

Director Liu calmly read the collection catalog and other materials, "In order to ensure the authenticity of the collection, I have to personally review it."

With such a heavyweight collection and the scale of a private museum, if it is approved, it may reach the first-level rating of non-state-owned museums.

At that time, the subsidy will be the most.

It is nothing more than that everyone will be more sensitive, because some private museums will use the name of fakes to make profits.

Seeking the interests of the country and the masses of the people will bring about extremely bad influence.

Caution must be exercised.

**

Yunzhou found that with the recommendation of Deputy Director Peng, the review speed has indeed been accelerated a lot.

He submitted the materials for about a week, and then a provincial leader came to check in person.

Young people understand that when they see the collection catalog, they will not believe it.

That's why I took the trouble to attach photos and add the name of my cultural relic restorer, so as to have a certain degree of credibility.

After all, he is not a well-known collector in the province like Mr. Du, and he can only be regarded as a novice in the eyes of others.

This time, three people came, Director Hu, Mr. Zhong, a provincial appraisal expert, and Deputy Director Peng.

Deputy curator Peng is equivalent to half an appraisal expert and gets along well with Yunzhou, so the province sent him here this time.

Yun Zhou invited them to his home.

While pouring tea, Zhong Lao looked at the purple clay pot in his hand with bright eyes, "Is this the 'curved pot' of Master Wang Yinxian?"

The young man nodded.

Director Hu and Deputy Director Peng glanced at each other, it is really extravagant to put millions of purple clay teapots in the living room to make tea.

It can also be seen from this that Yunzhou is indeed a collector, and the collections in it——

They couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Zhong Lao took a sip of tea, fondled the teapot fondly, and put it down after a while.

Yunzhou took them into Duobao Pavilion.

This room will not be open when he is not at home.

Looking at the dazzling array of porcelain on the shelves of Duobao Pavilion, the three of them were stunned at the same time.

Rao already has the foreshadowing brought by the catalog and photos, but when the real collection is displayed in front of his eyes, the shock is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The immeasurably valuable Ming Chenghua Dou Cai Tianzi Jar, the Northern Song Ru Kiln Tianqing Glaze Washer with an auction price of more than 7000 million yuan, the [-] million Ming Hongwu glazed red jade pot and spring vase, and the world-famous Yuan blue and white flowers.

Tang Xing Kiln Linghua Washer, Southern Song Dynasty Silver Rabbit Cup, Ming Yongle Sweet White Glazed Stem Cup...

Porcelain wares worth millions, tens of millions, over [-] million, or even inestimable value are placed on the Bogu shelf one by one, row by row, extremely exquisite.

These porcelains are enough for an exhibition of fine porcelain from official kilns!

No other collector has collected such a rich and unrivaled rarity of porcelain.

Whether it's a restorer or something else, this young man in his early twenties can be called the top collector in Huaguo!

Under Yun Zhou's permission, Mr. Zhong started to examine the most touching Mingcheng Huadou colorful Tianzi jar, while the other two studied the 'Ru Kiln Tianqing Glaze Wash'.

Such a national treasure-level cultural relic, even if deputy curator Peng stayed in the museum all day, he couldn't touch it.

Mr. Zhong put on his reading glasses to identify for a long time, his voice trembling with excitement: "Yes...really!"

His friend bought the remnant Tianzi jar at an auction house 20 years ago for 1200 million yuan. He was lucky enough to appreciate it, and he will never admit it!

The world's 13th Mingcheng Huadou Caitianzi Jar is here in Yunzhou.

The other two also discovered the "nail marks" on the bottom of the Ru kiln's celadon glaze wash, which is indeed different from other Ru porcelains, with a small flaw.

Yun Zhou: "This piece of porcelain is made up of a box of broken Ru kiln pieces that were photographed at the Jiahe Autumn Auction. There are still a few pieces left in the box."

He brought over the auction catalog and the remaining broken porcelain pieces.

These are undoubtedly the most reliable evidence, dispelling everyone's doubts.

Deputy curator Peng touched the green and jade-like Ru kiln fragments, then looked up at the rows of porcelain, and once again had a clear understanding of Yunzhou's ability to repair.

He suddenly discovered that the previous level of restoration of cultural relics was not his highest level.

There are not many people in Huaguo who can restore such difficult Doucai Tianzi pots and Ru kiln porcelain.No, more than that, maybe none of them can be found!

Yunzhou's level is set too low.

It's not advanced, it's the top, or it's called a national treasure restorer——

Deputy curator Peng looked at the young man in front of him, his figure was thin, and his delicate face was too young.

He is only 22 years old, but he has reached a height that countless people can hardly achieve in a lifetime.

What an honor that such a genius was born in their S province.

Going back this time, he will definitely help him apply for the honor he deserves, so that the genius will not be buried.

The two most precious pieces of porcelain had been confirmed to be correct. After Mr. Zhong routinely checked a few pieces, the three of them prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Deputy Director Peng said to Yunzhou: "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you fight for it."

Yun Zhou thought he wanted to help speed up the process, so he thanked him with a smile.

**

At the end of August, the booth customized by Yunzhou arrived.

There are requirements for lighting and temperature for museum collections, especially for ancient paintings and books, which have certain display conditions.

Fortunately, Mr. Du used to be the deputy curator of the Municipal Museum, and he has rich experience in exhibition hall layout and collection display.

With the help of Mr. Luo's subordinates, he made a plan according to his requirements, otherwise he would not be able to complete it by himself.

In the hot summer, the staff moved the heavy booths to the art gallery and placed them according to the planning drawings.

In the center of the exhibition hall is an independent high cabinet for 360-degree exhibition, which is used to hold precious collections.

There are desktop cabinets distributed around, which are used to store ancient books, gold and silverware and other collections, as well as cabinets along the walls, and alcove cabinets for displaying ancient paintings in the long corridor.

Everything is formulated according to the on-site measurement of the exhibition hall.

With the booth, the empty first floor of the art gallery was well-arranged.

The next step is the configuration of security equipment and personnel. After configuration, the collection can be placed in the exhibition hall.

Security in this area is very important.

The entire art museum itself is equipped with a monitoring system, and Yunzhou found a professional security company to install detectors, infrared lights, listeners, alarms, etc. on the perimeter walls and at each entrance.

In this way, the overall cost is very high.

Yunzhou roughly calculated that the rent discount is 320 million per year, and the minimum rent is 5 years, which is 1600 million.

The design and renovation of the exhibition hall, the customization of the showcase, and the layout of the security system will add up to 500 million, which totals more than 2000 million.

In addition, the rest area, tea room, and broken porcelain exhibition hall on the second floor must be arranged; as well as the introduction and publicity of the collection, the allocation of guides and other staff, the overall cost is estimated to be more than 2500 million.

From this point of view, it is indeed not that easy to open a private museum, and it requires strong capital to support it.

Although these expenses will not shake his fundamentals, since he has invited Master to set up a museum together, he still needs to find ways to make a profit.

Yun Zhou made a simple calculation. If he wanted to make a profit, his annual income must be at least 500 million yuan, and ticket sales alone would definitely not be enough.

Public museums are supported by the state, and most of them are free.

Even for a place like the Kyoto Museum with 180 million collections, the ticket is only 60 yuan.

Private museums are far inferior to the scale and number of collections of national museums, so setting the entrance fee at 30 yuan is not bad, which is also Yunzhou's plan.

With a ticket price of 30 yuan, the annual number of visitors must reach more than 17, which is difficult to achieve unless it becomes popular.

Museums are not as popular as tourist attractions. In addition, public museums are completely free. In contrast, private museums will definitely lose a lot of traffic, making operations even more difficult.

Therefore, other ways must be found to make a profit.

Yun Zhou wrote and drew pictures in the plan. He already has some ideas, and he needs to discuss the specific plan with Mr. Du.

While preparing the operation plan of the museum, young people are also constantly paying attention to the results of the application approval.

The approval process was very fast this time. The application submitted in early August, which included the on-site inspection by three people, was approved in early September, and it only took one month.

After receiving the news from Deputy Director Peng, Yunzhou clicked on the system message excitedly.

Seeing the result above, the young man opened his eyes slightly, and the pupils were bright.

[The "Museum of Ancient and Modern Times" in City S has been certified as a non-state-owned first-class museum, and the state will provide a one-time subsidy of 1000 million yuan. 】

There are also many subsidy regulations below, such as subsidies for outing exhibitions, rent subsidies, water and electricity subsidies, subsidies for receptions, and so on.

Calculated in this way, more than half of the 2500 million fee can be waived!

He had never thought of having such benefits, which relieved his pressure a lot.

Yun Zhou's eyebrows and eyes were curved into a beautiful arc, and he was about to tell Mr. Du the good news when he found that there was another message in the system.

He opened it curiously.

[National Museum Appointment Letter:

Yunzhou is specially hired as a "top cultural relic restorer" with an annual salary of 60-100 million (excluding year-end performance bonus).

Job content: Restoration of national first-class cultural relics (including national treasure-level cultural relics)

This position is reserved until January 1st of the following year, please be sure to reply before then. 】

Yunzhou:! !

How did this treatment change so much?

Moreover, it seems that he...doesn't have to take the exam.

He read it again, and paused for a moment on 'freedom of working time and place', and Yunzhou felt a sense of surprise.

This is simply a dream job, and it does not conflict with his opening a museum at all!

Wow, this is great too.
