In addition to lending some of the treasures in his collection to Piercaton, Ning Weimin did not forget the two art academies in Beijing - the National Academy of Fine Arts and the Academy of Arts and Crafts.
Especially the latter, because of its natural attributes of practical art, it is more suitable for commercial use than the pure art school of the National Academy of Fine Arts. Both before and in the future, it is destined to be of great help to his personal career.
In fact, for Ning Weimin, whether it is for rewarding the other party, for self-interest, or even for public welfare commitments he made to Huo Yanping, he has always had the intention to lend some of his modern art paintings in his collection to these two art schools for a long time.
So during this time in Beijing, in addition to being busy with business and business, Ning Weimin also took the time to have many contacts and communications with the two colleges and universities on this matter.
Needless to say, the two art academies were quite surprised by Ning Weimin's active release of kindness and performed very positively.
When they first came into contact, the leaders of the two colleges and universities, in addition to praising Ning Weimin's generosity and fully expressing their gratitude and admiration, were almost unable to wait to bring these masterpieces back to their school as soon as possible.
After all, there are too few resources available in China to invest in education, especially "partial" such as the art major.
Even the highest art institution in the country is still pitifully small in funding every year. At most, it can barely maintain basic teaching work. Where can I have free money to buy art works by these famous artists?
To put it bluntly, if Ning Weimin hadn't always been able to make some fun work and occasionally find some extra money for teachers and students in these art schools, even the lives of professors and teachers were very tight, how could they have had such extravagant expectations?
So what Ning Weimin gave them now is something they usually dare not even think about, and it is simply a dream that has come into reality.
At the same time, it is more important to emphasize that these masterpieces are indeed something that is lacking and urgently needed in the art industry in professional teaching.
If you have the opportunity to copy the authentic works of famous artists and read more exquisite paintings, it is an extremely effective way to improve the vision, knowledge and practice painting skills of each professional art talent.
Although it cannot be said to be a necessity.
But this is like the imported motion capture equipment that the national table tennis team wants to buy, it is a good thing that can help professionals break through bottlenecks in key details and may further improve the artistic realm.
So even the two major universities, many well-known professors who are already considered artists, are very enthusiastic about this matter.
It was so exciting that I was so excited that I was not an exaggeration at all.
But then again, this matter cannot be done in a short time, and it is not a matter of urgent matter at all.
Ning Weimin is not a young boy. He will never be so angry that he will come to donate and do good deeds on impulse.
Then how to ensure the absolute safety of these paintings has become the most realistic problem before everyone.
The "safety" here is not only about the issue of anti-theft and fire prevention, but the more important reason is that preserving calligraphy and painting requires quite professional preservation conditions, including humidity, light, temperature, and dust prevention.
And everything requires professionalism, whether it is equipment or people.
But unfortunately, if we judge based on the actual situation, the two art schools currently have only a few simple buildings, but they do not have such a hardware foundation now.
So soon, the leaders of both colleges and universities were shut down, as if they were awakened by a scoop of cold water.
They instantly understood Ning Weimin's needs - if they want to get these paintings for exhibition and teaching, they had to create at least several copying rooms, and the equipment conditions had to reach the level of a professional art gallery.
How is this possible?
Originally, they just couldn't afford a horse and had to build a manor in order to raise a horse. What's the operation?
It is undoubtedly even more unrealistic.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin can ask questions, so there is a way to solve them. He did not come to play with everyone and see others feel uncomfortable.
He held another meeting.
Moreover, when the school leaders were silent and looked embarrassed, Ning Weimin clearly expressed his sincerity.
"Actually, if you don't say it, I know what you are worried about. I have a certain understanding of the actual situation of the school. Is there a shortage of funds? It doesn't matter, but what I mean is that if we can communicate with the Education Bureau and obtain permission, I am willing to invest in building a building on our campus as an exclusive art gallery for the school. In this way, not only can the calligraphy and painting works I lend to you can get a safe guarantee, but the works of our professors and teachers in our school will also get better preservation conditions..."
"What! You actually donate the building to us?"
"Manager Ning, are you saying true?"
“Building a building is not cheap!”
"A professional-level exhibition hall, even a three-story building, will cost at least several million!"
Ning Weimin's words immediately triggered a big wave of exaggeration at the scene, and this news made many school leaders here no longer able to remain reserved."
Even though they are all cultivated as artists and experts, they completely lose their calmness at this time.
This is not surprising, for nothing else, because Ning Weimin really did the job of borrowing horses and having to send it to the manor.
Moreover, this is no longer just a gift of money. Ning Weimin wants to give them a gift of reputation, fame, industry influence, and social status.
It would be a great deal to really build such an art museum. The existing limitations of the two schools will change because of this.
Not to mention the distance, just say the nearest.
There is no doubt that this shocking news will be announced once confirmed.
The two colleges and universities will have a better source of applicants and will have a higher position in the education system. The primary goal of art talents who want to be teachers is to come to their school.
It can be said that they want to completely establish the position of leading art academies in the country.
What about Sichuan Beauty, Guang Beauty, and Zhejiang Beauty will be immediately left behind by them in terms of teaching conditions.
This change is enough to make other art academies anxious and envious.
"Yes, it's true. I want to donate the building to our two colleges. This is not only to help our colleges cultivate better art talents, but also to repay your long-term support for me in all aspects. I don't have any additional conditions. I just hope that we can jointly establish a way of combining industry and education in the field of arts and crafts, which can change the current situation of lack of economic support for our art industry and art talents in a virtuous cycle. So money is not a problem, and you don't have to help me save money. Let's start with design work first, try to make the design plan optimal according to actual conditions, and I will also ask some foreign professionals to provide advice. In short, I hope the art gallery I built for our two schools is pragmatic and professional. As long as the money should be spent, we will spend..."
Everyone here was surprised when they heard Ning Weimin's words, and then turned to awe.
The result was that everyone quickly reached a spiritual consensus and an irresistible burst of gratitude and applause.
Although most of these people were outside forty, and although there were less than seven or eight people present, no one cared about the age difference between them and Ning Weimin, and still made the applause lively with a sincere touch.
"Have vision and courage!" An old professor convinced him.
"No wonder Pilkaton Company and Tangong Restaurant can develop so quickly!" said another professor.
"Young people are so terrifying. Manager Ning, although we have been dealing with you for so long, I still feel like I just met you today. Well, let us continue to support each other in the future. I believe that we can create an unprecedented bright prospect in the art industry..."
The vice president of the Academy of Arts and Crafts made a serious promise and extended a grateful hand to Ning Weimin.
Perhaps some people may say that Ning Weimin is the Virgin Mary, or perhaps some people may be worried that Ning Weimin’s loaned paintings will be secretly dropped by a shameless villain, thinking that he is making trouble for himself and is asking for trouble.
But to be honest, people with similar ideas are both stingy, stupid, and ridiculous.
Indeed, human nature is selfish, and there is nothing wrong with this.
People are not much nobler than others. Many noble behaviors have prerequisites, and most of them are based on everyone's social status and wealth.
But we have to admit that even if you are selfish, you need to have a brain.
Not to mention anything else, are calligraphy and painting things like porcelain that can be placed quietly and never damaged?
If that were the case, the antiques that Kang Shude collected from the street stall would not have been hesitant to sell ancient paintings from the beginning.
In fact, Kang Shude was completely convinced. After fighting Ning Weimin with the help of Huo Xin, he brought in tens of thousands of famous calligraphy and paintings, he was under unimaginable pressure from ordinary people.
The storage and maintenance of these paintings are not that simple. They have to be taken out from time to time and hung on the wall to dry them to avoid moisture and frost.
People who have never owned famous paintings will not understand the troubles.
But Ning Weimin had already understood that it was a physical and technical job.
If it weren't for Ningwei's private Tangong Restaurant and helped Kang Shude quickly take back the Ma family garden, if it weren't for Kang Shude, who could have trusted someone like Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long with his own strength.
To be honest, when he was the most tired, he even regretted his greed.
If he had known this hard work, he wouldn't have bought so many.
Therefore, starting from the most basic reality, lending paintings from outside is itself a need caused by Ning Weimin due to his own limitations.
He can save his own energy and worry less after lending it out.
In addition, whether in terms of industrial investment, layout and public welfare, he can only make this choice.
The ones that stay by your side are dead babies, and only those who take them out for you to see are living babies.
These calligraphy and painting books should not belong to personal things, but their cultural values ​​should be something that the people of the whole country enjoy.
Ning Weimin also made similar promises to Huo Yanping at the beginning. He said that the reason why he competed with Hong Kong tourists to buy these calligraphy and paintings was not just for appreciation of calligraphy and paintings, but also for preserving national assets.
This cannot be said to be all false, especially in terms of his wealth today, the quality of this sentence has even become 70% true and 30% false.
Not to mention, even in terms of personal interests, isn’t any industry that needs to continue to invest resources in R&D if it wants to maintain a far-reaching leading position?
The same is true for the art industry.
Ning Weimin used his things to increase his investment in teaching. In the big picture, he was to contribute to the country and the art industry, and in the small picture, he was also to have more talents in the future, so as to make the cake of the art and art industry bigger and ensure his personal leading position and profits.
Therefore, lending art works to art schools and continuously strengthening cooperative relations with art schools is a far-sighted and very necessary step.
Keep it for others not to show it, are you just waiting for these calligraphy and paintings to get tired at home?
Of course, considering the economic value of these calligraphy and paintings themselves and their huge potential in the future, theft and bag loss are inevitable.
After all, the Forbidden City has encountered thieves several times, and some of them have really been stealing them.
There are also rumors that Changlin Diamond was transferred during the exhibition.
But there is a solution to any problem, at least it can reduce the probability. You can't give up on your food because of the choke, right?
Could it be that we will not pay taxes because of corruption?
Do we always sleep in the open air because we are worried about the risk of earthquakes?
There is no such reason. People who go to extremes may not have this kind of thing in their lives.
This may be an example of the person who has different opinions. In the eyes of people who are unable to do anything is difficult, and there is only to give up.
But in the eyes of people who really want to do things, any difficulties and obstacles can be overcome, and at least they should try it.
Ning Weimin is like this. To be honest, in his eyes, the cultural industry is really a huge market, so all investment is worth it.
To take out the loan of calligraphy and painting to art schools in Beijing, it was only the first step for him to donate the building to the school to build an art museum. In the future, he would set up a professional storage company, establish a rigorous security system, and even hire professional talents from home and abroad to be responsible for the management of his own collection.
Because one thing he can be sure of is that his collection will increase in future, and the economic value he will generate will increase in places where these collections can be applied in the future.
To be a collector and a cultural tycoon, he must have amazing courage, so he will set up his own Panjiayuan freakfast market.
The biggest difference between him and others is that his vision has begun to be on the upper level of the entire cultural industry.
Even though many people don’t realize it, he knows very well that he has occupied a lot of high-quality resources and has become the leader of Chinese culture’s internal operations and external exports.
