As expected, the media reporters who came in droves were blocked by security personnel and could only stay outside the cordon and ask questions loudly.
"Good morning, Mr. Ye Tian, I am a reporter from CCTV. Can you tell me what is in these **** vehicles? Are they antiques and artworks?"
"Good morning, Steven. I am a reporter for the New York Times in Beijing. The invitation we received stated that today is a donation ceremony and a related press conference.
From the current situation, it seems that the donor should be you. I would like to ask, what are you planning to donate? Is it an antique artwork? How much are those things worth? Who is the recipient of the donation? ”
Hearing the questions from these media reporters, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over.
He glanced at the many media reporters who were blocked outside the cordon and the ordinary tourists who were watching the excitement, and then said loudly with a smile:
"Hello everyone, I am Ye Tian. I am very happy to meet you here. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I would like to wish you all a happy New Year in advance. I wish you all the best in the new year. "Dragon-horse spirit"
As he spoke, he clasped his fists and bowed his hands to everyone present, his performance impeccable.
Seeing his performance, almost everyone present had a look of admiration in their eyes. Many of them, who didn't know Ye Tian very well, were even very surprised.
This guy is very different from the one in the legend. He is not evil, but very amiable. It seems that those legends cannot be believed at all, they are just rumors.
Whether they understand Mandarin or not, whether they are tourists from China or from other countries, many people at the scene followed suit and raised their fists to Ye Tian as a way of greeting him.
After greeting everyone present, Ye Tian continued to speak loudly:
“Dear friends from the media, today’s donation ceremony and press conference are indeed caused by me. I am today’s donor. Thank you all for coming to support me.
However, what is the content of this donation ceremony, such as what am I donating and who is the recipient? Let me keep it a secret for now. You will find out later when you enter the Ancestral Temple.
That’s it. That’s all I have to say. Please wait patiently for a while. The donation ceremony will begin soon. I will answer your questions then. See you later! ”
After saying that, Ye Tian waved to everyone at the scene, then turned around and walked towards the **** vehicle with David and Jason.
On the other side, Mr. Shan and the others also got out of their respective cars and walked towards Ye Tian together. Everyone was high-spirited and full of excitement.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides came together.
After a few whispers of discussion, the transfer operation began immediately.
The doors of several **** vehicles were opened one after another, and the sealed boxes were taken out of the vehicles one by one by the museum staff of the Forbidden City and carefully placed on the hand luggage carts.
When the luggage cart reaches a certain number of boxes, the luggage cart will be slowly pushed into the Ancestral Temple by the Forbidden City staff, and there will always be heavily armed police following around.
During this period, the media reporters who were blocked outside the cordon raised their guns and cannons one after another, and kept pressing the shutter to record the scene in front of them.
Intrepid Exploration's own film team, the Forbidden City, and the National Library's film team are also filming to preserve video data.
It didn't take long for all the boxes packed in the **** trucks to be moved out and transported into the Working People's Cultural Palace.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and Shan Lao checked several **** vehicles, and after confirming that nothing was missing, they walked into the Ancestral Temple talking and laughing, and disappeared from the sight of many tourists.
Soon, more than half an hour passed.
It is almost ten o'clock in the morning, and the donation ceremony is about to begin, followed by a press conference.
In the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, many media reporters have gathered here. They have already taken their places and set up long guns and cannons, waiting for the donation ceremony to officially begin.
Five or six meters in front of the press area and in the center of the Ancestral Temple Hall, a temporary podium was set up with several tables and chairs arranged in a row.
On those tables were some beautiful blooming flowers, drinks and other items, but the chairs were empty. The protagonist of the donation ceremony had not yet appeared!
Two or three meters behind the rostrum, there is a tall mahogany screen with a huge ink landscape Chinese painting inlaid on it, which is used as the background board of the rostrum.
It is unavoidable that above this mahogany screen, there is a red banner with a line of big words on the banner, "Let Civilization Bloom" Donation Ceremony, which is very eye-catching.
This line of text is very general. It neither identifies the donor nor the recipient, nor does it explain the donated items and quantity. Many media reporters at the scene were confused.
The boxes that had just been moved into the Ancestral Temple were piled in an open space not far from the rostrum, and were guarded by several cultural and museum personnel from the Forbidden City and several heavily armed policemen.
Since those boxes are all covered with sealed bags, the specific condition of the boxes and what is inside are not yet clear and can only be guessed at.
But every media reporter at the scene knew very well that those boxes contained items that Ye Tian was going to donate. Given this scene, those items must be worth a lot of money!
With only five minutes left before 10 a.m., several Forbidden City staff suddenly walked up to the rostrum and began to place nameplates on the rostrum.
As these nameplates were placed on the table one by one, and through the names and placement of the nameplates, the media reporters at the scene instantly understood one thing: who are today's donors and recipients.
Needless to ask, the donor was Ye Tian and his Intrepid Exploration Company. His and David’s nameplates were placed in the center left of the rostrum.
As for the recipient, it is the National Library.
The nameplates of the Director of the National Library and the Vice Minister of Culture speak for themselves. They are placed in the center right of the rostrum.
Although Dean Duan of the Dunhuang Academy is well-known in his research field, few of the many media reporters present knew his name.
Seeing the names on the nameplates on the rostrum, 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 planning to donate should be some very precious ancient books or historical documents!
The boxes we just saw at the entrance of the Working People's Cultural Palace should contain 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! ”
"Indeed, I guess what Ye Tian donated is probably the Dunhuang Scriptures. After a series of previous actions in Paris, London, and New York, he has collected tens of thousands of Dunhuang Scriptures.
It can be said that Ye Tian currently owns the most Dunhuang scriptures in the world. No other museum, library, or individual can compare with him! ”
Obviously, these media reporters at the scene are all good people, and everyone has a sharp vision and is very smart.
Through the several nameplates on the rostrum, the banner hanging high, and the boxes, they had basically guessed the theme of the donation ceremony, and also roughly guessed the scale of the donation. .
After placing the nameplates, several staff members left the rostrum, and the host of the donation ceremony immediately appeared and walked onto the rostrum.
Immediately afterwards, a side door of the main hall suddenly opened.
Ye Tian and David, as well as the Deputy Minister of Culture and Director Rao, walked in from the tall side door one after another and appeared in the sight of many media reporters.
While they were talking, they walked up to the rostrum, sat down in their respective seats, and nodded lightly to the many media reporters present 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 look at the time, then walked to the right front of the podium, officially kicking off the donation ceremony.
"Good morning to all friends from the media. 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 and am from the Ministry of Culture.
The representatives attending today’s donation ceremony are the donor, Mr. Ye Tian, the representative and owner of Intrepid Exploration Company in New York, USA, and his lawyer, Mr. David Kent”
As he spoke, the host raised his hand to gesture to Ye Tian and David, and introduced their identities in Chinese and English.
Following the host's introduction, Ye Tian and David stood up one after another, nodded to the many media reporters present, and said hello again.
When they sat down, the host of the donation ceremony introduced Director Rao of the National Library, Director Duan of the Dunhuang Academy, and the Vice Minister of Culture.
After introducing the people sitting on the rostrum and introducing the process of the donation ceremony and subsequent press conference, the host of the donation ceremony got down to business.
"As we all know, Mr. Ye Tian has made a series of antique art transactions with several well-known cultural and museum institutions in Europe and the United States, in exchange for a large number of Dunhuang scriptures that have been lost overseas for a long time.
Mr. Ye Tian transported all these extremely precious Dunhuang 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 a hundred years to return to the motherland.
In the history of Chinese culture, the emergence of the Dunhuang Sutra, totaling approximately 60,000 volumes, was an extremely significant cultural event, but the crazy looting and plunder that followed turned it into a catastrophe !
Mr. Ye Tian’s move to acquire a large number of Dunhuang scriptures from Europe and the United States and bring these priceless treasures back to Beijing can be regarded as a return of civilization and will definitely leave a mark in the history of culture! ”
"Pa bang bang"
Applause suddenly broke out, extremely warm, resounding throughout 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 own applause.
All the other Chinese people in this magnificent hall were also applauding Ye Tian, and every round of applause was full of enthusiasm and a bit of gratitude.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Ye Tian stood up again and bowed slightly to everyone present.
