Chapter 413: The return of cultural relics, making a national sensation
That night, a professional transportation team sent from China to escort cultural relics carefully packed 8 treasures and transported them onto the plane.
These 8 cultural relics were just the beginning of Mawei and the British Museum asking for it. Think about the more than 90% of the 8 million collections that were not exhibited. There must be many of them, from the Old Summer Palace. I have to find a way to make the British spit out all of them.
The plane responsible for transportation carried the "Princess of the Female Historian", the jade cong of Liangzhu culture, the Kanghou Gui in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the beards of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the six-blog figurines of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three-color civil servant figurines of Liu Tingxun's tomb in the Tang Dynasty, the dragon-headed double-eared bottles of the Tang Dynasty, and the 8 cultural relics of the blue and white porcelain plates of the Yuan Dynasty, successfully arrived in China.
The media and reporters who received the news came to the airport to take pictures of this historic moment with microphones and cameras.
"Director Jin! Please say a few words! Is the plane carrying a copy of the "Princess of the Female Historian" that was plundered by the British and French coalition forces, and the three-color civil servant figurines of Liu Tingxun's tomb in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Director Jin, it is said that the reason why we can return to 8 national treasure-level cultural relics this time is thanks to a mysterious Russian businessman, right? Can the businessman's name and identity be revealed?"
"Director Jin! What do you think about the British Museum taking the initiative to return lost cultural relics to our country this time? Does this represent the increasing international status of our country?"
The reporters poked the microphone and asked Director Jin to give the answer. Facing the bombardment of the media, Director Jin, who looked serious on the surface, was actually very happy. After all, it was all considered the achievements of his National Museum.
"Well, this is an indisputable fact that our country's international status has increased. The transported on the plane is indeed the eight national treasure-level cultural relics you just mentioned... and after we have determined that these eight cultural relics are all genuine works lost in the Old Summer Palace a hundred years ago! They are of great historical value!"
Director Jin's words were published on the second day in major newspapers, media, and website news. Even major TV stations rushed to report on the matter.
"Major news! The British Museum in the UK officially returned 8 cultural relics of great historical value to our country yesterday. Experts valued them at least more than 7 billion yuan! This is the largest cultural relics return event in my country's history. It represents my country's status and influence, and is becoming increasingly deepening internationally."
"Extraordinary news! Just yesterday, the UK returned nearly 7.5 billion yuan of historical relics to our country! It is said that the one who caused this was the Fortune 500 company, the chairman of Ma V Group, Mr. Ma Wei..."
With the reports of major media, the name Ma Wei has once again become a search keyword for domestic netizens. Whether it is Weibo, forum, QQ space, or QQ group, almost everyone is discussing about Ma Wei.
"Why is there no photos on Baidu Encyclopedia, and it also shows that he is only 23 years old? Really fake? So young!"
"The Russian named Mavie is said to be very handsome and has a model figure. His family has a deep influence in the Russian military. Like the movies made by Marvel Studios, as well as trailers, the Tu-95 strategic bomber, modern-class destroyer, and guardian-class frigate, he can all be mobilized in just one word. It's very awesome!"
"I once saw this person at the airport, but there were bodyguards around him and were not allowed to get close. I had a strong aura and the tools for transportation when going out were all the world's top bulletproof cars..."
"Mavie is so awesome to be able to return the cultural relics that have been put into his pockets at the British Museum!"
...
Although it is not his original wish, the name Mawei has been remembered by more and more people in China. The key way to remember is not the kind of sensationalism or high-profile display of wealth to attract attention. Instead, it is the return of cultural relics that are full of positive energy and make the Chinese people feel extremely excited.
This method is much more powerful than his unilateral donation of 7.5 billion yuan! After all, he invested 7.5 billion yuan to allow the British Museum to return these 8 cultural relics, but people ignored it.
When the national treasure is returned to its original owner and is restored and exhibited in the National Museum, someone should fulfill his promise and introduce British automakers to the country. Meeting the CEOs of the four major automobile groups in Country Z can meet with them.
The reason for this arrangement is that if you want to gain a foothold in the domestic market, you must cooperate with the domestic market in the form of a joint venture. It is not the simple way to come and make a big splash, treating the mainland market as a pure money tree.
"Mr. Mavie, next week's meeting with Z Auto Group, we will have representatives of Land Rover, Jaguar, and MG Automobile. Now, after inquiring, these three British auto companies are willing to send representatives to negotiate. As for the remaining homes, they said they need to wait and see."
On the phone, an official from the British Cabinet Office said to Mawei tactfully. There are more than 10 world-renowned automobile companies in the whole of the UK. However, only Land Rover, MG and Jaguar participated in the talks.
As for the remaining luxury car brands such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and McLaren, there are still some reservations and they do not intend to attend the meeting.
"Oh, I understand. It doesn't matter if you don't come. Let's see it anyway." Ma Wei said lightly on the phone. The luxury car brands that don't come to talk to are all the top manufacturers in the world. Whether Aston, Martin, or Rolls-Royce, they all have their own strategies and ideas.
To put it bluntly, car manufacturers such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Aston Martin, etc., do not agree with the domestic market in contrast to Mavie. Or they think that it is not suitable for domestic development now.
Ma Wei naturally accepted this inconsistency. After all, there are 101 ideas in the 100 people. He cannot force others to accept his views. Anyway, the one who is unlucky in the end is definitely not himself, nor is he who chooses to negotiate...
Five days later, a plane flying from Russia stopped at the Capital International Airport on time. At the same time, a special plane flying from the UK also met with it at the airport and landed one after another.
