Chapter 1292 Press Conference

On the day when the Su Museum held its press conference, it can be said that many big names gathered. Almost all those who thought they had some skills in the cultural relics circle came to the Su Museum. You know, today's news is bound to be shocking.

Su Ning, who was sitting in the center, looked at the audience and introduced himself, saying, "Dear colleagues in the cultural relics circle, dear media friends, I am Su Ning, the chief CEO of Su Group."

"..."

"Recently, the media has been paying close attention to our private museum under the Su Group. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone here."

"Next, let's get straight to the point and talk about the history of this large Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain plate with a double dragon and phoenix pattern. As we all know, the century of humiliation during that period left China in turmoil. At the same time, various precious cultural relics that carried China's history were looted by foreign powers. But how could these beasts cherish what they had stolen?"

"In addition to settling and doing business overseas, our Su family has always been collecting precious antiques that have been lost overseas. Of course, this activity is long-term and uninterrupted, and the results are very gratifying. This Su Museum in Beijing is just a small part of our Su family's collection of cultural relics."

"Wow..." As soon as Suning finished speaking, everyone was surprised.

However, Suning continued to introduce the large Yuan blue and white porcelain plate, pointing to the large screen behind him and saying, "As for this large Yuan blue and white porcelain plate with a double dragon and pearl pattern, it was acquired in Chicago, USA many years ago. At that time, another large Yuan blue and white porcelain plate with a double phoenix and peony pattern was also acquired. Unfortunately, the large Yuan blue and white porcelain plate with a double dragon and pearl pattern was already broken at that time. The image on the large screen is the video recording of the acquisition of the large plate."

“…” Everyone at the press conference looked at the fragments and the intact Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain plate with a double phoenix and peony pattern on the big screen.

Dean Wang lost his composure at this point and stood up, yelling. Everyone could see he had already lost. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There are no pairs of Yuan blue and white porcelain plates in this world. Besides, the Yuan blue and white plates displayed in your Su's Museum don't show any signs of restoration."

"Haha, calm down! As the saying goes, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit, and a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat. Our Su family has not only been good at making money over the years, but also has a set of ancestral skills in repairing antiques. This large Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain plate with a double dragon playing with a pearl pattern was personally repaired by me. Because our antique restoration skills are so superb, you can't see any traces of restoration with an ordinary magnifying glass. Instead, you need a microscope to detect them. Please come on stage and take a look, is this true?"

Then the staff of Su Group took out a microscope and placed it on the table. At the same time, Suning also invited the experts present to inspect it.

"This……"

Immediately afterwards, antique lovers from all over the world lined up in an orderly manner to take a look. When they looked at the large Yuan blue and white plate with a double dragon playing with a pearl pattern through a microscope, they indeed found some very subtle traces of restoration, which immediately caused an uproar at the press conference again.

At this moment, a three-inch man suddenly appeared and bowed to Su Ning. "Mr. Su, this is truly remarkable! I am Ichiro Okamoto, the director of the Tokyo Museum. I was wondering if I could learn this restoration technique from your Su Group. I and the entire Yamato nation will definitely remember the Su Group's generosity."

"Ichiro Okamoto, are all the collections in your Tokyo Museum looted from China? Do you think I would communicate with robbers like you?" However, Suning looked at the robber in front of him with a sneer on his face and questioned him.

"Mr. Su..." Ichiro Okamoto never dreamed that Su Ning would be so disrespectful to him. This was completely different from the "friendly" Chinese people he had met in the past.

Then Suning waved his hands like he was shooing away a fly, signaling the other party to get out. "That's enough! Stop forcing me to hit someone here! Get out of here as soon as possible."

"Baga..." Sure enough, Suning's disregard and contempt made this little guy furious.

With a "slap", Suning slapped Ichiro Okamoto hard in the face.

"Oh oh..." At this moment, everyone present was shocked and screamed.

"You..." Ichiro Okamoto covered his face and looked at Suning in front of him with disbelief.

However, Su Ning, who was in a dominant position at the moment, looked at the lawyer standing beside him and said, "Lawyer Fang, please send a letter to Ichiro Okamoto for me. Tell him that he insulted me in public and I will make him pay with his blood."

"Yes! Mr. Su."

“…” At this moment, Ichiro Okamoto and everyone present were stunned.

Suning then proceeded to get everyone ready, and the press conference was ready to continue. "Everyone, the farce just now was just a small episode. We should not let this kind of robbery disrupt the rhythm. Next, let's continue with the press conference."

"..."

"In fact, Dean Wang and I have absolutely no friendship at all, and I'm quite confused by his making such a fuss out of nothing. Here's a recording of me and Dean Wang at the Su Building opening ceremony. It was also our first meeting, and it might clear up any doubts for me and everyone else."

Then, as Su Ning pressed the play button on a recorder, a voice began to emanate from it, "Hello, Mr. Su! I am... Wang Xu, the director of the museum."

"Hello, Dean Wang!"

“…” Dean Wang widened his eyes in horror when he heard his own voice.

"Mr. Su... I noticed that the collections in your Su Museum are all national treasures... Have you ever considered donating them to us... the museum?"

"Wow..." The scene was immediately in uproar again, and everyone looked at Dean Wang with disdain.

At this time, Dean Wang was already trembling with fear. In fact, he knew he was finished the moment the sound came from the recorder, so he looked at Su Ning in front of him with a pale face and unfocused eyes.

After the recorder finished playing all the conversations, he looked at Dean Wang with a playful look on his face, "Dean Wang, are we going to continue the bet?"

"You...are you going to bet with us on restoring antiques?" Dean Wang finally understood what was going on and felt that they had no chance of winning at all.

"That's right! And I'm competing with everyone in your circle. If anyone can surpass me in antique restoration, all the collections in this Su Family Museum will belong to him."

"..."

"What? Dean Wang, are you actually going to give in in front of so many people?"

Dean Wang stood up with a pale face and formally apologized to Su Ning, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry! This is all my fault, Wang Xu. I hope you can forgive my foolish behavior."

"Alright! I accept your apology, so I won't force you to kneel down and apologize."

"Thank you."

However, just as Dean Wang breathed a sigh of relief, Su Ning announced his punishment again. "Dean Wang, please do not appear in the Su Museum again. You and your lackeys have been blacklisted."

"What?" Sure enough, Suning's punishment left President Wang and his lackeys dumbfounded. "Everyone, now that we've explained the situation regarding the Yuan Blue and White Porcelain plaque, and we've settled all our grievances with President Wang, the irresponsible smear campaign by some unscrupulous media outlets is unforgivable. Therefore, our Su Group's legal department will sue all such media outlets and force these unscrupulous individuals out of the media industry forever."

"..." As expected, as soon as Suning finished speaking, the reporters at the scene began to tremble all over.

……

Today's press conference undoubtedly detonated a depth bomb. The past unpleasant memories were reopened, and the true situation of Chinese cultural relics abroad was also mentioned for the first time.

At the same time, Dean Wang and his lackeys were completely disgraced, and what awaited them next was naturally the annihilation of everyone.

After the press conference ended, Jiang Xueqiong from Qingting Culture came back and said, "Mr. Su, congratulations! Today's press conference was a real success."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Jiang! I didn't expect it would be so difficult to run a good business." Suning naturally responded with a smile on his face. The woman in front of him was quite good.

Jiang Xueqiong then mentioned the invitation from Qingting Culture's Hong Kong headquarters, "Mr. Su, Mr. Lin from Qingting's headquarters just invited you to visit Hong Kong."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your invitation! I'll go to Hong Kong to visit you in person when I have time."

"Okay! I will definitely convey Mr. Su's words."

After this earth-shaking press conference ended, those who came to watch the excitement left one after another, feeling unsatisfied.

It was only then that the female assistant Huang Yimei came over with a face full of resentment, "Boss, you were really too reckless today. It seems that our Su Group has won a great victory, but in fact, you have offended everyone in the domestic cultural relics circle."

"Hmph! They are just a bunch of parasites who are just sitting there doing nothing. Do they really think they are the leaders of the country?" However, Suning made his evaluation with a look of disdain on his face.

"This……"

"Don't worry! Your man is much stronger than you think. These frogs in the well can't hurt us at all."

"..."

In fact, Suning did not tell Huang Yimei his real purpose. The reason why he made such a big fuss was to force those real big shots to step down. What he wanted was nothing more than an explanation from the real big shots.

I believe that those who are paying attention to the press conference at this time cannot be just a few frogs in the well in the cultural relics circle. Those bigwigs must also be secretly observing his Su Group. In addition, coupled with the bait of the new energy vehicle project that he released a few days ago, this time he will definitely catch a large number of amazing Kunpengs.

Sure enough, a leader from the Ministry of First Machine Building soon came to meet with him in person, and even the plan of personally visiting Su Group for inspection was waived. In addition, they formally agreed to issue Su Group the qualification to manufacture cars, but the qualification was only limited to the new energy industry.

At this time, Suning naturally went to the Ministry of First Machine Building as soon as possible, and successfully met the head of the Ministry of First Machine Building. "Minister Zhang, we want not only to manufacture new energy vehicles, but also to manufacture the most important fuel vehicle project at present."

"It's impossible to issue new manufacturing qualifications for fuel vehicles. This is a national policy that no one can change. Your group has only one way to go, which is to acquire existing automobile manufacturers." However, the head of the Ministry of First Machine Building shook his head with extraordinary determination.

"Minister Zhang, I'm sure your Ministry of First Machinery has also heard about the negotiations between the Su Group and the Qinchuan Factory. I wonder if the Ministry of First Machinery and the higher authorities can facilitate this matter?"

"Hey! Your Su Group's requirements are really too high. Our First Ministry of Machine Building is also having a headache. In addition, the Xi'an local government is negotiating cooperation with the military industry department. It is obvious that your Su Group is not the only one interested in the new energy industry."

"But they don't have new energy technology or development funds. As long as the First Ministry of Machine Building and higher authorities can support our Su Group, we guarantee that we can achieve mass production and market access of new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles before 2004."

"Huh? Mr. Su, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about. It's already November of 2001, and there weren't even three years before 2004. Could it be that your Su Group is truly a Daluo immortal?"

"Minister Zhang, our Su Group has been wanting to build cars for a long time. Naturally, we have already prepared all the conditions. What we lack now is nothing more than policy support."

"This... is it possible that what you said, Mr. Su, is true?"

"Minister Zhang, unless I am a real fool or a liar, I would not sit here with you in the Ministry of Machinery and brag about this."

"Huh? Then why doesn't your Su Group build its automobile production base overseas? That way, all the problems you face will disappear."

“When money grows to a certain level, its true meaning is just a string of numbers, so achieving your own goals is actually more interesting.”

"A purely domestically produced car?" At this time, Zhang Bu also learned to answer quickly.

"That's right! And it's a luxury car." Suning showed a teachable smile.

"..."

"As long as the Ministry of First Machine Building can help us facilitate the acquisition of the Qinchuan Plant, our Su Group can provide a large amount of high-quality and low-priced iron ore."

"Low price? How low can it be?"

"International iron ore prices are skyrocketing year after year. Our iron ore not only guarantees quality and quantity, but also maintains the same price as last year. Furthermore, if the three major iron ore suppliers are willing to lower their prices, Su Group will also lower its prices to 80% of the international price."

"This...Mr. Su, this matter is not something to be taken lightly, right?"

"Don't worry, Chief Zhang! I'm not a boaster. It's just that you can't investigate the origin of the iron ore."

"Okay! The Ministry of First Machinery will handle the Qinchuan Factory's affairs. I hope you, Mr. Su, can keep your promise."

"Don't worry! The first 400,000-ton iron ore sample will be delivered within a week."

"..."
