Chapter 237 Taipei Palace Museum Comes Too?

"That's right, this time we got approval from our leaders to exchange two sets of ancient books from the Ming Dynasty with the two sets of Qingming Shanghe Tu collected in the Forbidden City!"

Lao Yang took out two hand scrolls, and Wu Tianyuan opened them carefully. One was Qingming Shanghe Tu by Shen Yuan, an imperial painter of the Qing court, which was recorded in Shiqu Baoji and read by Emperor Qianlong.

There is also a secret edition of the Yuan Dynasty, anonymous, Qingming Shanghe Tu, which has an appreciation medal from the great collector Xiang Brothers, which is extremely precious.

"Are you willing to change?"

Wu Tianyuan was very moved, now he has two sets of Qingming Riverside Picture in his hand, one is by Wang Jian, one of the four kings, and the other is by Qiu Ying, the four Ming dynasty. Adding these two pictures, there are four sets in total.

"As long as Director Wu agrees, the contract can be signed now!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and added: "I still have one condition. The Tianyuan Museum will officially open to the public next month. I wonder if I can borrow a painting?"

Lao Yang first heard that Wu Tianyuan was willing to change. Just as he was happy, he heard that there were additional conditions. He asked curiously: "What painting?"

"Of course it's Song Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Riverside Picture!"

"This……"

When Lao Yang heard this, he was a little embarrassed. To say that Wu Tianyuan is very generous, the Centennial Exhibition of Castiglione was a sensation a few days ago, and the most important exhibits were all borrowed from the Tianyuan Museum.He can make the decision immediately if it is replaced with other paintings, but the national treasure Qingming Riverside Picture is really not good.

"Hey, you also know that there are 64 national treasures and cultural relics that cannot be exported, and Qingming Shanghe Tu is one of them! Let alone outsiders, it is very troublesome even for us to take them out. The procedures are complicated, and it takes a day or two Can't do it."

Mr. Geng interjected: "Xiao Yangzi, isn't this unreasonable? Last time when you borrowed Wu Tianyuan Castiglione, he sent all the collections there without saying a word. Now it's your turn to be cowardly?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Lao Yang in his 60s amusedly in front of Mr. Geng. No way, a master in his 90s has this qualification, even in front of the curator of the Forbidden City, he can say something!
"Besides, if you don't go far, what's the problem with being in the capital? Look at the level of Tianyuan, which is worse than the Forbidden City? It's only been in business for a year, and to be honest, I'm a little ashamed and flustered!"

Several experts looked at each other and smiled wryly. This is true. After looking at the level of others, except for the small quantity, the quality is really not bad!Many of them don’t even have the Forbidden City, such as Castiglione, and there are two sets of orphaned ancient books now, and I have to take the initiative to come to ask someone for a young man!

"Okay! I'll be in charge of going back to coordinate. The dignified Forbidden City can't take advantage of the young man, can it?"

Everyone looked at Lao Yang's face of sacrificing his life for righteousness, and laughed, and the transaction was quickly completed, and everyone was happy.

After lunch, Lao Yang and his party were sent away. Geng Lao sighed: "I really envy you, boy, you are free and unrestrained! You have money, eyes, and luck!"

"How many national treasures have you seen in your life? Can I compare, boy?"

Wu Tianyuan poured tea for Mr. Geng, and the old man sighed, "What's the use? There are only a few of them. You are really capable of snatching national treasures from foreigners. We all know that. Even the curator secretly admires it!"

Mr. Geng said solemnly: "You will officially open next month. I will put aside my old face and invite everyone here! Let them see, this is the backbone of the nation!"

Wu Tianyuan was overwhelmed by flattery, and he couldn't afford to be praised by Mr. Geng. He was capable of doing small things, so he didn't need to go online like this, right?
He thanked the old man. The official opening must be lively. I have worked so hard to prepare for so long, so that more people can appreciate the wisdom of the ancestors and inherit the 5000-year Chinese civilization, especially the children. After planting the seeds, they will slowly take root. germination.

"What? The National Palace Museum in Taipei is coming tomorrow?"

Wu Tianyuan just arrived at the museum today, the old Ren Xing rushed over, saying that he just received a call, and the National Palace Museum in Taipei is also coming!

"This……"

Wu Tianyuan was a little confused for a while, not because the two Forbidden City are so powerful, but because of the limitations of the domestic museum system, many things are not as open as abroad.

Especially in terms of collections, there are many procedures for exchanging, and most of them can only be exhibited on loan or in joint exhibitions.It's the first time to deal with the National Palace Museum in Taipei. I don't know what's going on?
"Brother Lin? Brother Huang?"

When Wu Tianyuan saw the visitor the next day, he greeted him with a smile. It turned out that the other party had also found Lin Baili and Huang Xuanlong as introducers, acquaintances are easy to handle!
"Brother Wu, long time no see. This is Director Hu, who is in charge of this negotiation. We are all friends."

When everyone entered the museum, Wu Tianyuan took out three treasure books from the Song edition, and let people from the National Palace Museum in Taipei appraise them.

"We have heard about Director Wu's deeds like thunder, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation!"

Director Hu looked at the museum and sighed: "I can't believe that this private museum has been established for less than a year, and even we are a little ashamed of this level!"

Lin Baili joked: "Old Hu, they are all our own people, so there is no need to say polite words. Their things have been revealed, what about yours?"

Old Hu laughed loudly and said, "Come to Director Wu to exchange with sincerity? The Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Map! Yuan Dynasty Huang Yu! Ming Shen Zhou!"

Wu Tianyuan took the two scrolls excitedly and was very satisfied. It seems that he had inquired about both the Forbidden City, and he deliberately went for his own favor. The Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Map himself had a set of Wu Hufan from the Republic of China, a set from Wang Hui from the Qing Dynasty, and a set from Dong Qi from the Ming Dynasty. One set from Chang, and now two more sets, a total of five sets!
"No problem, but just like the Forbidden City, there is a small condition!"

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said, "Tianyuan will officially open next month. I invite the National Palace Museum in Taipei to participate. It would be best if I could bring the useless volume of Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Map?"

"No problem, don't tell me that we also have the same meaning. It is a rare event in a century. Six pictures of living in Fuchun Mountains are exhibited together. Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

Suddenly, Old Hu sighed and said, "If you can get together the map of Huang Gongwang's residence in Fuchun Mountain, then..."

Wu Tianyuan laughed loudly and said: "No problem, I have already contacted someone in Zhejiang. I still have a few sets of Ten Scenes of West Lake in my hand. At worst, after the exhibition here, let them take it back and exhibit it for a few days!"

"Hangzhou is now applying for World Heritage Sites. It is also a grand event to have five sets of ten sceneries of the West Lake."

Everyone marveled at Wu Tianyuan's strength. In his hand, there are three sets of immortal masterpieces, four sets of Qingming Riverside Maps, five sets of Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Maps, and five sets of West Lake Ten Scenes, which are unparalleled in the world!

"How about this? I see that you still have a few exhibition halls vacant here, my brother. I will also set up an exhibition hall for Zhang Daqian?"

Lin Baili was a little embarrassed and said: "This event is rare in a hundred years. My brother is also considered a senior collector. He has dozens of masterpieces in his hand. Let me show my face?"

Huang Xuanlong also took the opportunity and said: "There is me! I have also prepared some high-quality articles for the imperial court, a 45-piece study set! Collecting my life's hard work, you see..."

Wu Tianyuan laughed and said: "No problem, I still have seven or eight exhibition halls and I am worried that there will be no exhibits. The two brothers really helped me a lot, thank you very much!"

Everyone agreed to send the best collection in two days. Zhang Xincheng also exhibited his father's finale works together, and the Dafengtang exhibition hall was also open at the same time!
