"Mr. Qian, why did you suddenly ask me to go to Taiwan?"
At this time, Wang Guan was a little confused, and then he reacted and said hesitantly: "Is it Zhu didn't you say it's not good to scare the snake away?"
"It doesn't matter."
At this time, Qian Laoyuan was far away in the capital, with a smile on his face and a calm voice saying: "You go openly and openly, and you also have to accept interviews from the media. It's so loud and uproar, so naturally he won't pay attention to you."
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, then vaguely understood: "Does Taiwan also want to exhibit treasures?"
This is not a precedent. After all, Dongxi had already arranged an exhibition in Taiwan when Jiao Weiqin came to the world. I heard that there were a lot of people visiting at that time and the praise was rave, but it made Director Wang of the Forbidden City in Beijing very happy. , smiling from ear to ear.
But then again, it¡¯s not surprising at all that Taiwan has this intention. Even though the relationship between the two parties has always been a bit delicate due to historical reasons, the cultural cooperation has a long history.
As early as the reform and opening up period, communication began slowly. Then, with the joint efforts of people from all parties, cultural relics from both places have been jointly exhibited many times. The most famous example is the painting of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by Huang Gongwang, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty.
During the late Ming Dynasty, the Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Picture was burned into two parts, one large and one small, and then framed separately to form the Wuyongshi Volume and the Remaining Mountain Picture. The former is in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, but the latter is in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. But two years ago, the Wuyongshi Scroll and the Remaining Mountain Picture were combined for the first time to form a complete Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Picture, which was exhibited in Taipei and immediately caused a sensation.
Even with a lot of foundations in place, it seems natural to send an invitation letter to the Xiyi Museum in the hope that the treasures can be exhibited in Taipei.
No matter from the level of cultural exchange or the height of politics, Xiyi Museum is not allowed to refuse. And this is also the most suitable excuse, an excuse to go to Taiwan openly.
"These days, you have been in charge of the exhibition tour."
At this time, Mr. Qian said with a smile: "Now that you, as a representative, go to Taiwan to discuss exhibition matters, it is a matter of course, no one will find it strange. As for the current exhibition tour, let Ade handle it for the time being."
"I understand." Wang Guan nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go"
Of course, this was just an intention. It was impossible to leave in a hurry now. We had to return to the capital to prepare first, so the two chatted for a few words and ended the communication. It will not be too late to elaborate on the specific situation until Wang Guan returns to the capital.
"Brother Wang, are you going to Taiwan?"
At this time, Gaozhuang is full of dazzling scenery, with a feeling of turning around, and a look of joy on his face.
"That's right."
Wang Guan smiled and nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "Wait a minute This matter seems not as complicated as imagined Well, you can arrange the things at hand, and then go to Taiwan with me"
While speaking, Wang Guan looked at Tao Li. After a slight hesitation, he also signaled: "If you are free, you can go there with us. Don't worry about other things. After we go, someone should help us go out to sea to hunt for treasure."
"Really?" Tao Li was a little surprised, but naturally also a little skeptical.
"No need to doubt, it must be right." At the same time, Gao Zhuang was very happy: "Brother Wang dares to say this, he must be absolutely sure. We can just follow him, and we can help carry the things when the time comes."
"If everything goes well, it should be like this" Wang Guan smiled and asked the two of them to pack their luggage and deal with some trivial matters before returning directly to the capital.
Actually, it is closer to go directly from Fuzhou to Taiwan, but there are still many things to prepare, so we have to fly in both directions. Two or three hours later, Wang Guan and others successfully arrived at the Capital Airport, and then took a ride back to Dazhaimen. After entering the door, he walked to the living room with ease, where Mr. Qian was sitting. Wang Guan greeted him and immediately found that there were other guests in the hall.
"Wang Guan, it's just a good time to be back."
At the right time, Mr. Qian introduced with a smile: "Come and meet Director Cui from Taipei."
"Hello, Director Cui."
After Wang Guan greeted him, he also watched curiously. He saw Director Cui in his forties, wearing a traditional Chinese tunic suit, his hair was meticulously combed, and he was wearing a pair of rimless glasses. He was full of elegance. breath.
"How about you, Mr. Wang."
At the same time, Director Cui also responded enthusiastically. He came well prepared. Naturally, he knew Wang Guan's identity. He was Qian Lao's favorite student and was currently the deputy director of the Xiyi Museum. He was mainly responsible forthings that develop. Unsurprisingly, in another ten or twenty years, he will be the director of the Xiyi Museum.
It¡¯s different to have someone to support you
Director Cui sighed secretly, with a spring-like smile on his face, praising Wang Guan as a talented, young and promising person who is a role model for the youth of the world.
In this regard, Wang Guan¡¯s smile remained the same and he was humble. But there was no disturbance in my heart, no feeling of pride. After all, he didn't know how many times he had heard compliments like this in the past few days, and his ears were about to get calloused, so naturally it was very boring.
After chatting for a while, Wang Guan also introduced Gao Zhuang and Tao Li as his friends. Since we were not in the same group, everyone sat down again after casual greetings.
At this time, Mr. Qian went directly to the topic: "Wang Guan, you must also know the purpose of Director Cui's visit. If you have any specific ideas, you might as well talk about it while Director Cui is here."
"This is a good thing."
Wang Guan expressed his attitude in one sentence. After all, this is the main premise. He cannot sing the opposite, so naturally he strongly supports it: "It is our honor to have more exchanges and contacts to promote the integration of cross-strait cultures."
Director Cui nodded repeatedly, with a smile of deep understanding on his face. In fact, he also knew that making this request would never be in vain. Of course, the exhibition is definitely a done deal, but some of the profit distribution details are the key.
¡°After all, the Xiyi Museum is a privately owned property, not someone to be exploited. Director Cui is very clear that there is no good thing in the world that comes for free. If you want to get any benefits, you have to pay some price.
"However, the domestic tour exhibition has been finalized."
As he spoke, Wang Guan frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It has been announced, I'm afraid it's difficult to change it."
"No, no, no, no need to change."
At the right time, Director Cui smiled and said: "We also understand this situation. We are not required to arrange exhibitions in the near future. Instead, we will wait until the exhibitions in domestic cities are completed. The first stop of the overseas tour can be arranged in our Taipei. As far as I know , the schedule for overseas exhibitions has not been finalized yet."
"It's true that we haven't decided yet." Wang Guan nodded slightly and explained: "The main reason is that too many people have sent invitations, not to mention Hong Kong and Macau, but also South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, the United States ¡¡±
After listing, Wang Guan shook his head and sighed: "When I was in Shanghai and Fuzhou, I attended banquets every day and met managers from major museums in the world, who constantly lobbied me to make the first stop of my overseas exhibition tour with them. "
Director Cui knew that Wang Guan did not lie. Because among those people, there was the director of the Taipei National Palace Museum. He found that the competition was very fierce, so he decided to bypass Wang Guan and directly asked someone to find Mr. Qian, hoping to drain the firepower.
Due to the special relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the fact that he met some close friends in the Forbidden City in Beijing, after some twists and turns, Director Cui successfully met Mr. Qian and persuaded him to make a decision.
After listening to Director Cui¡¯s request, Mr. Qian readily agreed. However, he only agreed that the overseas exhibition tour would definitely include a stop in Taipei. But which stop it is, the attitude is more ambiguous.
When it comes to the closeness of the relationship, Director Cui definitely doesn¡¯t take it seriously, but he is more concerned about Hong Kong and Macau. Especially in Hong Kong, due to the continued economic downturn and the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, some bad voices have emerged in recent times.
In order to ease the relationship between the two parties, the senior officials indicated that they would take special care of Hong Kong, which is understandable. Anyway, in Director Cui¡¯s view, the biggest competitor is definitely Hong Kong. Although it is said that due to the different administrative systems, Director Cui does not care about political achievements, but he cares about performance.
If Hong Kong can be squeezed out and become the first stop for overseas tours of treasures, then for Director Cui, big and small are also manifestations of ability, and he will definitely be praised by people from all walks of life.
Whether it was fame or profit, Director Cui naturally used an unexpected trick and directly found Mr. Qian. After grinding for a few days, Mr. Qian's attitude seemed to loosen, and he directly summoned Wang Guan back to discuss with him.
In fact, when he saw Wang Guan, Director Cui knew in his heart that the matter was almost done. Of course, the premise is to negotiate a contract that satisfies both parties.
"Mr. Wang, don't worry, we are very sincere."
After understanding this, Director Cui did not intend to beat around the bush and said bluntly: "You are right just now. Since it is an exchange, it is definitely not one-sided. There is only going back and forth. Today, the Xiyi Museum brought the treasures to Taipei Exhibition, tomorrow, Taipei can also bring other things to the Xiyi Museum for display. For example??Mao Gongding, Sanshi Pan, Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tie"
Every time Director Cui said something, the joy in Wang Guan's eyes became more intense. You must know that what Director Cui mentioned is a very rare national treasure and cultural relic. It is also the treasure of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Under normal circumstances, it will not leave Taiwan for exhibition. I didn't expect that Director Cui would be so willing to facilitate this matter.
But that¡¯s right, only by giving up can you gain something. No matter what you do, if you always have the mentality of taking advantage, it will definitely be difficult to get things done well in the end. Only by mutual compromise and concession, and a win-win situation for everyone, can things be a complete success.
This is the case now. Director Cui is full of sincerity. Wang Guan and Mr. Qian naturally have no reason to refuse. Although they have not made an immediate decision, the smiles on their lips have already stated their intentions.
Of course, out of caution, Mr. Qian decided to send Wang Guan to Taipei to inspect and sign a formal contract, which was also a warm-up (To be continued.
