Chapter 2005: The return of civilization
Not surprisingly, all the media reporters who were swarming in were blocked by security personnel, and they had to stay outside the cordon to ask questions loudly.
"Good morning, Mr. Ye Tian, I am a reporter from China Central Television, can you tell everyone what are in these **** vehicles? Are they antique art?"
"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from The New York Times in Beijing. The invitation letter we received stated that today this is a donation ceremony and a press conference related to it.
From the current situation, the donor should be you. I would like to ask, what are you going to donate, is it antique art? How much are those things worth? Who is the recipient? "
Hearing these media reporters' questions, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over.
He glanced at the numerous media reporters who were stopped outside the cordon and the ordinary tourists watching the bustle, and then said with a smile on his face:
"Hello everyone, I’m Ye Tian, I’m glad to see you all here, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Here I will give you all a New Year in advance. Happy New Year, I wish you all the best and the spirit of the Dragon Horse in the new year."
said, he clasped his fists and arched his hands to the crowd, showing impeccable performance.
Seeing his performance, almost everyone at the scene flashed an admiration. Many of them didn't know Ye Tian well, and even felt very surprised.
This buddy is very different from the legends. It's not a fierce evil, but very amiable. It seems that those legends can't be trusted, but they are just false.
Whether they can understand Mandarin or not, whether they are tourists from China or other countries, many people at the scene followed suit. They clasped their fists and bowed their hands to Ye Tian as if they were greeting him.
After greeted everyone on the scene, Ye Tian continued to speak loudly:
"Dear friends from the media, today's donation ceremony and press conference really started because of me. I am the donor today. Thank you for coming to join us.
But, about the content of this donation ceremony, such as what is my donation and who is the recipient? Let me sell it for a while, and you will know when you enter Taimiao later.
Let’s stop here, that’s all I have to say. Please wait patiently for a while. The donation ceremony will begin soon. I will answer your questions and see you later! "
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian waved to everyone on the scene, and then took David and Jason to turn and walk towards the escort.
On the other side, Old Shan and the others got out of their respective cars and walked towards Ye Tian together. Everyone was full of spirits and excitement.
In a blink of an eye, the two sides came together.
After discussing a few words in a low voice, the transfer operation started immediately.
The doors of several **** vehicles were opened one after another, and the sealed boxes were taken out of the vehicles by the National Palace Museum staff one after another, and they were carefully placed on the luggage carts.
When the number of boxes on the luggage cart reaches a certain amount, the luggage cart will be slowly pushed into Taimiao by the staff of the Forbidden City, and the fully armed police will always follow it around.
During this period, the media reporters who were stopped outside the cordon raised their long guns and short cannons, and kept pressing the shutter to record the scene before them.
The brave explores the company’s own film crew, the Forbidden City, and the National Library of China’s film crews, which are also shooting to preserve video materials.
It didn't take long for many boxes to be loaded in those **** vehicles, and they were all moved down and transported into the Working People's Cultural Palace.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and Shan Lao checked a few **** vehicles, and after confirming that there were no omissions, they walked into Taimiao jokingly and disappeared from the sight of many tourists.
Soon, more than half an hour passed.
is approaching ten o'clock in the morning, the donation ceremony will begin soon, and a press conference will follow.
In the main hall of the Taimiao, many media reporters gathered here. They were already in their positions, and one after another set up long and short guns, just waiting for the donation ceremony to officially begin.
At five or six meters in front of the reporter area, in the center of the Taimiao Hall, a temporary podium was arranged with several tables and chairs arranged in a row.
There are some beautiful blooming flowers, drinks and other items on the tables, but the chairs are empty. The protagonist of the donation ceremony has not yet appeared!
Two or three meters behind the rostrum, a tall mahogany screen is erected. The screen is inlaid with a Chinese ink landscape painting, which is huge in size and used as the background board of the rostrum.
is inevitable. Above this mahogany screen, a red banner is pulled, and the donation ceremony is very eye-catching.
This line of text is very general. It does not specify the donor and recipient, nor the donated items and quantity. Many media reporters on the scene are confused.
The boxes that had just been moved into the Taimiao Temple were stacked on the open space not far from the rostrum, guarded by several National Palace Museum staff and several heavily armed police.
Since the boxes are covered with airtight bags, the specific conditions of the boxes and what they contain are still unclear for the time being, and can only be guessed secretly.
But every media reporter who was on the scene knew very well in his heart that those boxes contained the items that Ye Tian planned to donate. Just like this, those items must be valuable!
There were only five minutes left before ten o'clock in the morning. Several of the Palace Museum staff suddenly stepped onto the rostrum and began to place nameplates on the rostrum.
As these nameplates were put on the table one by one, and through the names and positions on the nameplates, the on-site media reporters instantly understood one thing, who are the donors and recipients today.
Donors need not ask themselves, it is Ye Tian and his brave explorer company. The nameplates of him and David are placed in the center and left of the rostrum.
As for the recipient, it is the National Library.
The nameplate of the curator of the National Library and the nameplate of the Minister of Culture are enough to explain everything. They are placed in the center and right of the rostrum.
Although Dean Duan of the Dunhuang Academy is well-known in his research field, few media reporters at the scene know or know his name.
Seeing the names on the nameplates on the podium, there was a small commotion at the scene.
"Wow! I thought the recipient was the Palace Museum, but I didn't expect it to be the National Library. From this point of view, what Ye Tian is about to donate should be some very precious rare ancient books or historical documents!
The boxes we saw at the entrance of the Cultural Palace of the Working People just now contained the many rare ancient books and historical documents that Ye Tian exchanged back from Europe and the United States. The number seems to be quite large! "
"It is true. I guess that what Ye Tian donated is probably the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. After a series of operations in Paris, London, and New York, he has collected tens of thousands of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
It can be said that, in the world, Ye Tian is the person with the most Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. No other museum, library, or individual can compare with him! "
Obviously, the media reporters at the scene are all human beings. Everyone has a sharp and very smart vision.
Through the several nameplates on the rostrum, the banner hanging high, and the boxes, they basically guessed the theme of the donation ceremony and guessed the scale of the donation.
After placing the nameplate, several staff members left the rostrum, and the host of the donation ceremony immediately appeared and stepped onto the rostrum.
Then, a side door of the main hall suddenly opened.
Ye Tian and David, as well as the Minister of Culture and Curator Rao, walked in through the tall side door one after another and appeared in the eyes of many media reporters.
While they were speaking, the group of them walked up to the podium, sat down in their seats, and nodded gently to the many media reporters on the scene and said hello.
At this time, it happened to be ten o'clock in the morning.
When they all sat down, the host of the donation ceremony immediately raised his hand to check the time, then walked to the right front of the rostrum, officially kicking off the donation ceremony.
"Dear friends from the media, good morning everyone, and welcome to the Working People’s Cultural Palace to participate in this donation ceremony and press conference. I am the host of today’s donation ceremony, from the Ministry of Culture.
The representatives attending today’s donation ceremony are the donor, the representative and the owner of the New York Brave Exploration Company, Mr. Ye Tian, and his lawyer, Mr. David Kent.”
, the host raised his hand and gestured to Ye Tian and David, and introduced their identities in Chinese and English.
Following the introduction of the host, Ye Tian and David stood up one after another, nodded and greeted many media reporters at the scene.
Waiting for them to sit down, the host of the donation ceremony introduced the curator Rao of the National Library, Dean Duan of the Dunhuang Academy, and the Minister of Culture.
After introducing the people sitting on the podium ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and introducing the process of the donation ceremony and the follow-up press conference, the host of the donation ceremony entered the topic.
"As we all know, Mr. Ye Tian had done a series of antique art transactions with several famous cultural institutions in Europe and the United States in exchange for a large number of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures that had been lost overseas for a long time.
Mr. Ye Tian transported all these extremely precious Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures back to Beijing and stored them in a vault in the Forbidden City, allowing these priceless treasures that had been lost overseas for more than 100 years to return to the motherland.
In the history of Chinese culture, the birth of the Dunhuang Tibetan Buddhist scriptures with a total of about 60,000 volumes is an extremely significant cultural event, but the crazy looting and plunder that followed have become a catastrophe!
And Mr. Ye Tian's move to trade a large number of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures from Europe and the United States and bring these priceless treasures back to Beijing can be called a return of civilization, and it will definitely leave a strong mark in cultural history! "
"Papa Papa"
Applause resounded suddenly, extremely enthusiastically, resounding through the entire Taimiao Hall and the entire Forbidden City.
Many Chinese media reporters at the scene stood up from their seats and gave Ye Tian their applause.
All the other Chinese who are also in this magnificent temple are also applauding Ye Tian, and every applause is full of enthusiasm and a bit of gratitude.
In the thunderous applause, Ye Tian stood up again and bowed slightly to everyone on the scene.
