Chapter 159 Warfighter
The left and the Dao Duan Shengfan was full of people this year. He had already collected thousands of Dongsun from the Yunnan-Burma War of Resistance Against Japan and Burmese, and the craftsmanship was also varied, including steel helmets, clothes, rifles, Japanese sabers, letters of home, etc. The Dao Duan Shengxu involved a large area and could be used as collections. During these days, Duan Shengxu mainly collected these war relics in China, and he had almost all traveled to several counties and cities around Tengchong.
What troubles Duan Shengxu the most is the lack of funds. He is just an ordinary bank employee. He has already owed some foreign debts to collect these things, and his wife and son all complain about it.
Song Yi's appearance was like timely rain, which solved this problem very well for him.
Of course, Duan Shengxu also had doubts in his heart. He had come into contact with many rich people over the years, but they were not interested in the things he collected, let alone sponsoring him. He could only pay for his pockets, but his wallet was limited in thickness and could not last long. I heard that Song Yi was going to cooperate with him, Duan Shengxu was a little unbelievable at first and asked why he was willing to help him.
Song Yi smiled and replied, "Brother Chen Lijun knows that I am also a collector. The Yunnan-Burma War is a great war and a war worth remembering forever. Collecting these things is a very meaningful thing. It is very necessary to set up a museum for everyone to visit in the future. It is very necessary to learn this history. Brother Duan has been doing this collection over the years. In fact, I also want to collect it, but unfortunately I don't have so much energy. Secondly, I am not here for a long time, and it is not convenient to collect it in this area. Brother Duan, you have collected so many things and your relationship here is also good. I just want to do my part to commemorate the heroes who fought for the country."
Song, you are so ridiculous, I am just a hobby." Duan Shengxu seemed very modest.
Song Yi laughed and said, "Brother Duan is too modest. There are a few amateurs who can do this to your level. I called him to say hello to Commander Ding. You can also contact Brother Lin's friend Zhou Yijun and others. They are more familiar with Myanmar and are also convenient to collect these things."
Duan Shengxu said excitedly, "Xiao Song, you have helped me a lot!"
"Brother Duan just needs to collect it with confidence. If you have any questions, just call me. "Song Yi said with a smile. "Brother Duan's collection costs a lot! If Brother Duan doesn't mind, I can invest in sponsoring your collection."
"How is this good?" Zhuo Fu came too fast, and Duan Shengxu was still a little unacceptable.
"I also want to do my best. I know that Brother Duan is a collection of war items like this. He only goes out but doesn't go in. He can't keep it in storage like other collections. In the long run, the burden will probably get heavier. I have made some money over the years. Investment in sponsoring Brother Duan to collect is just to make up for the regret that I can't collect it myself. But when I think about when I want to see it in the future, I can come to Brother Duan to read it at any time, and I am satisfied." Song Yi explained that other collectibles can be in and out, and can also make profits when replacing it. Collectors with vision can keep it in and out, and collect more and more things. However, for this kind of war collection, there are not many people who collect it and not too many communications; secondly, if you really want to build a museum of Anti-Japanese War, the more things the better, like the captured Japanese saber family letters, no matter how much money others give it to you, you can't sell them.
Song Yi's words came to Duan Shengxu's heart. He also shouted in his heart that long live his understanding. His emotions became more and more excited, "I can't represent anyone, I just mean that I thank Xiao Song in advance!"
Lin Lijun said next to him, "In fact, this kind of highly patriotic education should be collected by the government!"
Duan Shengxu immediately laughed, "The government is willing to let us do this kind of collection, and it is very good to be willing to liberate this aspect of the word and prohibition. I am content, and I dare not expect too much."
Lin Fangjun smiled and said, "That's true! But the times are progressing, and no one can tell what will happen in the future.
Lao Duan, you are determined to collect and build a museum. There must be a place in the future! You must deal with the government. If they don’t let go, it will still be very troublesome.”
"It's still early!" Duan Shengxu smiled. Although it was his dream to build a museum of the Anti-Japanese War, the dream of ears is still a bit far away, so he didn't think about things that were too long-term.
Song Yi also interrupted with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Duan collects these war collections first. I believe that my thoughts will become more and more open and my evaluation of history will become more and more fair. Now we only need to do our own things well. Doing this kind of collection is unique in the country. If it really doesn't work, we can appreciate it ourselves."
Duan Shengxu also smiled at all times, Xiao Song was right!"
Afterwards, Song Yi discussed with Duan Shengxu about raising funds. Song Yi asked him how much foreign debt he owed to collect it now.
Duan Shengxu compared two fingers embarrassedly, and Song Yi asked, "Twenty-hundred thousand? Brother Duan has more than a thousand war collections. These 200,000 are worth it!"
"It's 20,000!" Duan Shengxu couldn't help laughing, thinking that Song Yi is really rich. He has seen people with more wealth and has talked to them about his intentions in this regard. Unfortunately, they are not interested in it at all, and they look at him with idiots. Maybe the tens of thousands of dollars are just a drop in the bucket for them, but they just can't bear to sponsor it. How could they be as cheerful as Song Yi?
Song Yi was also a little dizzy. For him, 200,000 was just a small amount, 20,000 yuan! His first reaction was impossible. 20,000 yuan was just enough for him to buy a piece of pastel porcelain from the Third Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
But for Duan Shengxu, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount, it is his two-year salary. Moreover, this is still the foreign debt he owes, and the actual expenses are more.
Song Yi heard Duan Shengxu tell him the actual situation in detail.
Duan Shengxu’s collection of these war collections is really not too much, because everyone can trust his character. Duan Shengxu is kind and enthusiastic and can talk to anyone. Secondly, everyone does not have a full understanding of this kind of thing, and most of them use rice, oil, salt or dozens of dollars to exchange for it.
However, although the collection price of a single piece is not large, it cannot withstand the quantity. More than a thousand pieces of collectibles, even if each piece costs only a few dozen yuan, it is still a large amount of tens of thousands. For Duan Shengxu, an ordinary bank employee, it is a very big burden for his family.
Now that Song Yi has emerged from nowhere, it is a huge problem for Duan Shengxu. How can he not move him?
Song Yi felt that since his rebirth, he did not do many truly useful things. Sponsoring Duan Shengxu to establish this Anti-Japanese War Museum was a truly meaningful thing.
