Chapter 792: The Expected Upgrade (Part 1)
The operation of the American Express Bank is very ingenious. The Metropolitan Museum directly contacted the Gusu Museum to exchange exhibits for exhibitions. One is a world-class museum, one of the four major museums, and the other is a domestic municipal museum. Does such cooperation need to be discussed?
reject? Only fools refuse! For some unknown reason, the Metropolitan Museum took out the treasure of the museum, the oil painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware River", plus a group of paintings by modern and modern Western masters and dozens of Chinese antiques for the exchange exhibition. If all the big gift packages that fell from the sky were rejected, the Gusu Museum would probably be scolded to death by domestic colleagues!
Of course, the Metropolitan Museum also proposed to exchange some treasures from the Gusu Museum for exhibitions. In order to show their sincerity, they are willing to send the exhibits over for display first. The Suzhou Museum can slowly arrange for exhibits to be exchanged for exhibitions.
This sincerity is enough, does the Suzhou Museum want it? Immediately reported to the city and the province, and the procedures were completed within ten days at the fastest speed. As soon as the other side notified the other party that the procedures were resolved, the exhibits were packaged and shipped neatly. The speed and efficiency were high. People are dumbfounded.
The customs efficiency in the United States is also a bit too high. It only took two days to allow the exit, and then to the domestic side. Because the formalities have already been completed, the normal process may need to be seven days in advance. This time, it only took In three days, the things entered the customs and were transported to the Gusu Museum. At this time, the exhibition hall of the Gusu Museum had just begun to be furnished.
This kind of situation simply gave Guo Tailai the operating room to get in touch with this oil painting smoothly and closely. The representative of the United States met a good friend here and invited him to visit the exhibition that has not yet started in advance. Is there a problem?
Of course there are problems! For such a valuable exchange of cultural relics, such a precious treasure, the insurance cost of the whole process alone has reached 10 million US dollars, and all the treasures are guarded by the American security company on the spot 24 hours a day, and the surrounding is a domestic team. Armed police help to defend, so individuals can go in and see?
But people in the country checked, Guo Tailai, a big investor who is about to invest one billion US dollars in construction in Gusu, has endorsements from Shuimu University and senior officials in the capital, and there is absolutely no problem with his identity security, so there is no harm in going in.
Guo Tailai did not go in alone, but with a metal plate of the same proportion as the painting and several carving tools.
The inexplicable dignitaries brought the treasure of the town hall from the Metropolitan Museum of America to China with great fanfare. Is it reasonable to just take a look? So Guo Tailai must do something logically reasonable that meets this strange requirement.
Several American security guards inside looked vigilant and experienced. When they saw Guo Tailai bring these things in, two of them touched the stun guns on their belts.
But fortunately, Guo Tailai did not make any misleading actions. He set up the metal plate like a picture frame, stood five meters away, carefully examined the oil painting for a while, and then turned back. Go to the sheet metal picture frame and get to work.
In front of an American museum executive, a service staff from the American Express Bank, and security personnel from China and the United States, Guo Tailai showed them what is called master-level processing ability, um, it should be said to be the creative ability of an artist.
With only a few extremely fine spatulas, Guo Tailai quickly reproduced the oil painting in perfect proportion on the metal plate. Of course, instead of using a paintbrush, a metal spatula is used to shovel out a metal relief that has only the natural color of the metal but has an oil painting effect.
The ups and downs of the picture and the extension of the lines are exactly the same as the painting itself, only scaled down, but every detail is reflected in this metal relief in detail.
When Guo Tailai was working, he was so focused on nothing else. He stood five meters away and only made two movements. He stood up to observe carefully, and then went to the frame to make. In less than half an hour, he finished a quarter of the painting. That speed simply astonished the people watching.
Several vigilant security guards were not so sensitive now, and some of them even stared at Guo Tailai's movements with great interest. Seeing the iron filings flying on the picture frame, but the picture appeared bit by bit, it was actually pleasing to the eye.
During the period, Guo Tailai also asked the American security guards to help, and measured the length of a certain ship's bow from the edge of the picture frame and some detailed dimensions. If you say look at it, just look at it, without touching it.
Of course, the distance of five meters is enough for Guo Tai to do whatever he wants. Within the first three minutes of coming in, Guo Tailai had achieved his goal. Those 10,000 nanorobots easily entered Guo Tailai's body. The Americans are really sincere, saying that what they send is the genuine product, and of course, it is probably related to Guo Tailai's enough money.
Guo Tailai was also really good at pretending. He carefully copied the original painting in full proportion. It took him three hours. It can be said that he watched it carefully for three hours at a distance of five meters.
When the metal relief was finished, all the people in the room who watched Guo Tailai finish all this from beginning to end felt as if they were witnessing the birth of an exquisite masterpiece in front of them.
Copying, it can't be said that there are any legendary works born, but it is really exquisite. Everyone looked at the finished metal relief quietly, no one said anything, but they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
It's just a piece of metal relief in the primary color of metal, carved out in equal proportions according to the strokes of oil painting, but when everyone looks at it, it seems that they can see the color, the figure, and the light from it. It's simply amazing.
There was no need for Guo Tailai to explain anything, the only two people who knew what was going on this time, an employee of the American Express Bank, and a deputy director of the Metropolitan Museum, all understood why Guo Tailai wanted to watch it so closely Masterpiece.
"Mr. G, are you interested in the works of these famous artists?" When the employee of American Express Bank accompanied Guo Tailai to leave, he asked Guo Tailai curiously: "Have you tried to visit the Louvre?"
"I've been there!" Guo Tailai replied with a smile: "I specially let me go into the vault of the Louvre to see the real "Mona Lisa Smile" through a friend in France. But it's a pity , you know, in the vaults of the Louvre, no one would allow me to take these things in and copy them for so long."
"Mr. G, if you have the opportunity to go to the Metropolitan Museum, I think we will definitely allow you to make such a creation." The deputy curator of the Metropolitan Museum next to him said with a smile: "As long as you tell us in advance, we will Get all the materials ready and waiting for you!"
