The police contacted the National Criminal Police Department to investigate the bank account provided by the deputy curator. The account is real, but the bank doesn't know who the account holder is. As you probably know, banks won't give information to the police unless you have a search warrant.
For Bobby, there is good news, that is, the insurance company does not need to pay 200 million yuan. There is also bad news, because the deputy curator cannot afford the compensation, the insurance company has to pay 200 million yuan first, and then claim compensation from the deputy curator. There is also not bad news, the wife who is about to divorce the deputy curator may not be able to get a little money
After a night of tossing, things settled down. The police are investigating Kurt, who helped the deputy curator to get away from the mountain on the third day, to find out whether she is the deputy curator's accomplice, but for many people, it is useless. The stupidity of the deputy curator annihilated the treasures of mankind.
The bodyguard sent out a car to take Chris back to his residence. What surprised Bobby was that Liang Xi went back to the mansion with him and had breakfast together. This moved Bobby somewhat, and instead comforted Liang Xi: "Go back and rest. I'm fine, only 200 million."
Liang Xi didn't make a sound, and ate the cherry cake in a leisurely manner, mixed with high-grade black tea, intuitively feeling the material enjoyment brought by money.
"Let's go after eating." Bobby greeted the chief bodyguard: "Find someone to take him back. You are also tired all day, go to rest."
"One more shift." Liang Xi stood up and said as he walked, "The car is waiting for you."
"Haven't finished tormenting yet? I'm tired, hello! Falk!" Bobby stood up cursing, took the coat from the housekeeper Daisy, and hurriedly followed: "Where are you going? What are you doing?"
"There are some things I planned to rot in my stomach."
"What's the matter?" Bobby asked pleasantly: "Is Junku not burned? I know, the buyer or someone must have stolen Junku from the car."
"Can you give me some quiet time and let me think about it?"
Bobby asked: "What are you thinking about?" It's not thinking, but thinking, which shows that Liang Xi is making a decision, not encountering a problem.
Liang Xi said angrily: "Consider whether to take you with me."
"Hey, my car what you say, I'll shut up." Bobby pulled on his mouth, signaling to zip it up. Too bully.
On the way to the museum, Liang Xi had a very strange expression, thinking about something, looking at Bobby, thinking about something, looking at Bobby, looking at Bobby with horror, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Someone in the Clement family lied to Paul ?¡±
Liang Xi was taken aback, you really have a big brain
The museum is setting up the stage and preparing to hold a press conference in the lobby to explain the situation of Junku to the public.
The curator read the line in the curator's office, read it silently, put down the line and walked to the changing mirror, combed the white hair that prevailed, pulled the collar, and smoothed the folds of the suit.
The receptionist's voice came from the desk: "Curator, someone wants to see you."
The curator said: "I don't have time, so make an appointment."
The receptionist said: "It's Bobby Clement, the patriarch of the Clement family."
The Clement family is the largest sponsor of the London Museum, the curator said: "Please come in."
Liang Xi and Bobby entered the curator's office. The curator asked them to sit down and explained, "I'm sorry, I only have five minutes."
Bobby sat on the sofa, and Liang Xi casually sat on the sofa armchair next to Bobby: "Don't worry, the reporter can wait. Please sit down."
The curator looked at Bobby, but sat down anyway: "Is there something wrong?"
Liang Xi asked: "Curator, what do you think of Junku?"
"Opinion?" The curator savored for a while: "In my opinion, Junku may be the most artistically valuable oil painting in human history. It is not just a portrait, nor is it simply a portrait that is handsome and deep as many people say. It¡¯s so simple. I think Junku is the oil painting with the most exquisite use of color at that time. Even in modern times, compared with the oil paintings of the past thousand years, Junku¡¯s color language is more detailed than before. At the same time, according to my research The protagonist of Junku's portrait is probably one of the greatest writers of Bi Vinci's time. From the autobiographical description of this writer, it can be found that his description of his middle age is based on Junku's portrait."
Liang Xi said: "Since it is so great, why did the director remain unmoved at the scene of the fire yesterday?"
"Um?"
Liang Xi said: "Even if you give up your life, you have to get back a little ashes. This is what an artist should do."
The curator smiled and asked: "I should have been buried in the flames last night?"
Liang Xi: "No??Me, I'm not interested either. "
Liang Xi said: "I know that you are planning to go to jail, curator. I even guess that you would rather bear the infamy yourself and throw away your life to save Junku. The law is deterrent, but when a person is full of love and ideals At the time, the law was never his priority. At the core, you knew it was illegal to do it, and you thought it was right to do it.¡±
Liang Xidao: "I can explain most of the questions or make speculations and conjectures. Can you please explain one question? The deputy director is facing felony charges for framing. Is this what you think is justice?"
The curator thought quietly, then suddenly smiled, and said: "If he didn't steal the oil painting, then he's fine. If he stole the oil painting, then he should go to jail. Today he will steal Junku, tomorrow he will steal other oil paintings. He He has low morals and prefers the ass of his female colleagues to working in a museum full of treasures."
Bobby asked: "In this case, why not fire him?"
The curator looked at Bobby: "Don't you know that the deputy curator is your mother's classmate? It was your mother who recommended him to be the deputy curator directly. I am not satisfied with this personnel arrangement. But because the main donor of the museum has requirements, give him A job is not a bad thing. He can handle public and external affairs. Objectively speaking, he has talent, but lack of enthusiasm."
The curator said: "I am most worried that after I retire, the Clement family will intervene in the selection of the successor. I believe my letter of recommendation is useful, but the position of curator is ultimately up to the committee."
Museums are public welfare institutions, and the government has funding, but they are not under the jurisdiction of the government. They are managed and supervised by third-party unofficial bodies. such as Arts Council England. When a curator leaves, the Arts Council convenes discussions on the departure of the curator, usually involving town halls, art experts and scholars, and major private donors and funders. Of course, the curator will also attend and explain the candidates he recommends.
In the UK, there are only officially funded museums, but no officially run museums. There are only national museums, not all national museums. The Art Council conducts an annual review of the museum. The flow of tourists, the number and quality of special exhibitions, the preservation of artworks, etc., are used to position the museum. According to this positioning, the government will distribute financial allocations to museums in proportion.
Museums are usually operated with subsidized funds, and when funds are tight, museums will cut expenditure and increase revenue. Such as selling tickets, such as dismantling booths, etc. Another option is to find a donor. Many consortiums and groups have donated a lot of money every year for charity, scientific research and art. The London Museum is lucky. The patron¡¯s father is the Clement Group. The Clement Group covers all the basic expenses. At the same time, it is very generous in applying for museum funds. As long as the curator asks, the amount is within one million pounds, and it will be received in minutes. account. Therefore, the London Museum, as a local museum, has the ability to hold Bi Vinci oil painting exhibitions.
But also because of this, the Clement family has a great say in the appointment and dismissal of museum personnel. The curator was reluctant to be replaced by a deputy curator. He believed that the deputy curator would destroy the London Museum. The director's dream is to make the Museum of London a world-class museum like the British Museum. The person recommended by the curator was the young Kurt, on the grounds that Kurt had management, organizational and leadership skills, and was extremely devoted to and full of enthusiasm for the work of art. In view of the irreconcilable conflict between the deputy director and Kurt, the deputy director must resign.
