The Guanfu Museum in Ma Weidu not only collects porcelain, ancient wood furniture, jade and other antiques, but also collects a large number of oil paintings by modern artists, and also holds irregular exhibitions. Chen Yifei's works are among the modern artist collections of Ma Weidu, and they can be called treasures among treasures. Chen Yifei's work collected by Ma Weidu is the only sculpture in his artistic career, which is of great significance and priceless value. But what is puzzling is that Chen Yifei's works disappeared under his nose. Just when Ma Weidu personally went to solve the case and catch the thief, according to Ma Weidu, a dumbfounded employee caught his attention. It seems that Ma Weidu really has two brushes. How did he do it?
Here I must highlight Chen Yifei’s unparalleled sculpture, which can be called a shining pearl in Chinese contemporary art. Chen Yifei has spent his life doing everything from photography, movies and costumes, but his main specialty is oil painting. Although he is very accomplished in oil painting, he is also very accomplished in sculpture. He created only one sculpture in his life, which is "Shanghai Girl" collected by Ma Weidu. Chen Yifei's name is very charming, but he is actually a big guy, fully 3 meters tall, and his weight can be imagined.
But such a large sculpture was lost under Ma Weidu's strict security measures. Ma Weidu cannot be blamed for this. He was careful not to place "Shanghai Girls" in a conspicuous position and did not even install a camera. As a result, things disappeared, and Ma Weidu's first thought was that there was a "thief" in the museum.
After all, Ma Weidu was an experienced veteran who had been around the world. Instead of rushing to call the police, he gathered more than a hundred people together. Ma Weidu told the employees that the thief had left fingerprints on the sculpture, and everyone would be able to find out by clicking on it. Within a moment, the employee put his handprint in place. In fact, Ma Weidu himself didn't know whether there were fingerprints on the sculpture. Anyway, it was to create a psychological deterrent for the thieves and to observe the expressions and movements of the employees when they pressed their fingerprints.
Ma Weidu has been in the antique shop for many years, and he still has the ability to observe words and emotions. After some operations, he initially identified three suspects. After things progressed, Ma Weidu began to let everyone laugh. You guys probably don't understand. Chen Yifei's works worth tens of millions have been lost. How can Ma Wei still have the heart to listen to jokes? In fact, this is not the case. This is Ma Weidu's psychological warfare again. According to Ma Weidu's memories many years later, a dumbfounded employee caught "my" attention.
Ma Weidu called the dumbfounded employee to the office. As soon as the young man arrived, he knelt down to Ma Weidu and cried bitterly. At this point, the truth of the "Chen Yifei's theft case" has been revealed. Ma Weidu did not send the young man to the police, but forgave him very generously. After Chen Yifei's works were found, the matter was dismissed. What happened to that dumbfounded employee?
Ma Weidu didn’t say much about this misguided “thief.” What is certain is that in accordance with Ma Weidu's employment guidelines. People with questionable moral character will not be reused. Although Ma Weidu did not reuse the young man, he gave the young man a chance to return to his old ways. He was spared one jail sentence, which could be regarded as pulling him back from the wrong path. What is a pattern? Ma Weidu's approach in handling this incident is a reflection of his pattern. He can kill people without giving up, but he can be merciful and forgiving. This is Ma Weidu's pattern. Based on this alone, Ma Weidu can bear the honorific title of "Mr. Ma".
