“And these porcelains are great too!”
A slightly older man said: "With so many porcelains of different shapes, it is not easy to fish them out from the bottom of the sea one by one."
"The key is to keep it so well preserved. It seems that this Shengtang Salvage Company is indeed extraordinary..."
"That's for sure!" An old man next to him said with a smile: "I heard that the prosperous Tang Dynasty also trained a large number of people who specialized in porcelain restoration."
"We perform partial repairs on some valuable but slightly damaged locations, and sometimes gold inlays with porcelain are used."
The old man laughed and said: "Gold inlaid with porcelain is nothing, they have a lot of gold anyway, haha..."
"It's not just gold, have you seen those gems?" Another guest interjected:
"There are so many diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and all kinds of jewelry. It's simply dazzling."
Someone else said: "I heard that these are all salvaged from sunken ships at the bottom of the sea,"
"It's unbelievable that these treasures have been sleeping on the seabed for so many years and can be seen again and are so well preserved."
The old man nodded and added: "Yes, this Shengtang Salvage Company is indeed capable."
"I heard that they also used some retro methods to protect and restore them so that these cultural relics can be displayed in front of us in their best condition."
"Yes, these cultural relics are witnesses of history, and each one has its own unique story." The middle-aged lady said with emotion:
"Now that we have this museum, we can feel the richness of history and the charm of culture more intuitively."
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie next to him also praised: "This museum is really good. Not only is it rich in exhibits, but it is also decorated with great care."
"Each exhibition hall has its own theme and characteristics, which makes people linger."
"Yes, I especially like the exhibition hall of the Ming Dynasty pirate ships. That pirate ship is so spectacular. It seems that I can feel the bravery and cunning of the pirates sailing on the sea back then." The old man recalled.
The middle-aged man in a suit nodded in agreement and said:
"Indeed, this museum not only displays cultural relics, but also demonstrates the strength and professionalism of Shengtang Salvage Company."
"It seems that they do have a very high reputation and achievements in the salvage and protection of cultural relics."
"I'll have to find an opportunity to ask their person in charge later if the exhibits here are for sale. I plan to buy some back for my private collection..."
"Haha, I have this idea too!"
"Haha, it turns out that heroes think alike!"
...
After an hour or two of visiting, at 10 a.m., the opening ceremony of the Tang Dynasty Shipwreck Museum officially began.
A red carpet was laid out at the entrance of the museum, flowers were placed on both sides, and a small band played cheerful music.
Invited guests were all dressed up to attend. Some of them were celebrities in the cultural world, some were museum collectors, some were government officials, and some were ordinary citizens who were interested in history and culture.
At the opening ceremony, Deng Xingye, the director of the museum, delivered a speech, introducing the museum’s historical background, exhibit features and future development plans.
In addition, No. 1 from the Magic City Department of Culture also attended the event to speak, and the director of the Magic City Art Museum also delivered a speech on behalf of the audience.
After the speech, the guests began to visit the museum freely.
At the same time, ordinary citizens can also visit for free with their ID cards.
From the 5th until the end of February next year, the entire Tang Dynasty Shipwreck Museum can be visited for free.
Tickets only cost a few dollars, and the real profit is from selling the exhibits in the museum.
...
"Everyone, please come with me and welcome to our museum's treasure - the Taixing shipwreck exhibition hall!"
Deng Xingye greeted the guests with a loudspeaker headset and led the guests to a spacious and bright exhibition hall.
In the center of the exhibition hall, there is a huge ancient treasure ship, which looks very simple and grand.
"This is the 'Taixing' shipwreck, an authentic treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty that was salvaged from the seabed with a history of 500 years." Deng Xingye introduced.
The guests gathered around and watched carefully.
"This ship set out from the Magic City to trade in Southeast Asia." Deng Xingye explained.
"However, it unfortunately encountered a storm at sea and sank to the bottom of the sea. It took our Shengtang Salvage Company several months to salvage the sunken ship from the depths of the Pacific Ocean and restore it..."
This is of course not the whole truth, but a story that has been carefully processed and beautified by the Shengtang Planning Department.
If you want to sell something and sell it at a good price, you need to tell a beautiful and touching story.
"It's really not easy!"
"The ship looks like it can still sail!"
"The carvings and paintings on it are so exquisite!"
The guests praised it one after another.
"Yes, this ship not only has important historical value, but also has high artistic value." Deng Xingye said with a smile: "We specially invited professional cultural relic restorers and artists to carefully restore the ship. Repair and restoration..."
Next, Deng Xingye took the guests to visit several other important exhibition halls, including the "Pirate Ship Exhibition Hall", "Ancient Porcelain Exhibition Hall", "Gold, Silverware and Gemstones Exhibition Hall", etc.
The guests were very interested in these precious cultural relics and works of art, and expressed admiration and comments from time to time.
Some guests and tourists even took out their mobile phones to take photos.
Some even edit videos and send them to short video platforms.
The guests nodded in admiration.
At this time, a man in a black suit walked up to Deng Xingye.
"Director Deng, the exhibits in your museum are really great. I intend to buy some for my private collection," the man said.
Deng Xingye smiled slightly when he heard this, "Thank you very much for your recognition and support of our museum. If you are interested in purchasing exhibits, our museum has a dedicated cultural relics sales department that can provide you with services."
The man nodded, "Okay, I will contact your sales department."
...
On the other side, Tang Songyuan personally accompanied the old man of the Lu family to visit, and Li Qingying, Ni Sisi, Lu Qingliu and everyone in the Lu family followed them.
The old man of the Lu family was full of praise for the exhibits in the museum, especially the Ming Dynasty treasure ship in the "Taixing" shipwreck exhibition hall.
"Xiao Tang, you guys have made me look good this time,"
"Some of the exhibits in your museum are even more exquisite than those in the National Museum..."
The old man of the Lu family praised happily.
