Chapter 452: Fabergé Easter Egg

Cang Hao nodded deeply: "You're right. ”

"I know that Mr. Cang, you are a very upright person, but there are still many upright people in this world, and it is these upright people who are maintaining the development of this world for the better, and have not fallen into hell. After a pause, Isabel said seriously: "I know that there are many people who want to get the Lejmann technology, but there are many more who want this technology to disappear forever, at least on this issue we are on the same page. ”

"Good. Cang Hao stretched out his hand to Isabel: "From this moment on, I officially regard you as a partner." ”

Isabel was stunned at first, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Happy cooperation." ”

Soon, Isabel took her leave and returned to England to report to work.

She had been in Kakozhia for many days, and so much had happened in the middle, and she needed to go back and report to her superiors.

There is no doubt that Isabel's identity is not simple, and she is definitely not just an agent at Scotland Yard, either from MI5 or MI6.

Which department it was, Cang Hao didn't ask, because Isabel wouldn't say it at all.

It is still uncertain whether Lezhmann should die, Cang Hao decided to wait for the CIA to give news, but regardless of whether Lezhman is dead or not, the matter is not over.

The Second World War had a very significant impact on human civilization, and this impact continues to this day.

Cang Hao left the underworld that year and captured a Nazi remnant, and he had already seen the remnant of militarism.

This made Cang Hao have a faint hunch that the whole thing was not over, whether it was the German Nazis or Dongying militarism, there was a wide distribution network. Although ordinary people do not have anything to do with them, their actual power is far beyond imagination, and Legermann is only one of them......

There are all kinds of forces in this world, including the governments of various countries and the military and intelligence organizations under them, all kinds of multinational corporations, all kinds of secret organizations, and all kinds of mercenaries and killers who roam among all these forces.

Now there is one more thing to add, that is, militarism and Nazis.

However, Cang Hao did not expect that his contact with the remnants of the Nazis would start with a strange incident, and the Lezhman incident was just a prelude.

Bidding farewell to Isabel, Cang Hao left the café and found an antique shop not far from the street.

When he met Isabel and Rothschild here before, Cang Hao noticed that this antique shop has a very simple decoration design, typical European style.

It's not just Chinese people who like to play antiques, but people in rich countries have more or less this hobby.

Of course, this also has something to do with the level of education, and the more educated people are, the more they pay attention to their spiritual life.

A few times ago, Cang Hao found that this antique shop was doing a good business, and many people were coming in and out, and it happened that he was idle at the moment, so he planned to go in and take a look.

Cang Hao knows a master of antiques, who does not believe in Zen masters, and it can also be said that he does not believe that Zen masters are masters of counterfeiting antiques.

Cang Hao followed the unbelieving Zen master and learned a lot of antique knowledge, but all of them are Chinese antiques, and Europe has its own antiques, which is another matter.

After Cang Hao entered the antique shop, a young man in a suit greeted him very warmly in the local language, it seemed that he should be a waiter here, and after finding out that Cang Hao was an Oriental, he immediately changed his tone and said in English: "Welcome." ”

Although Cang Hao didn't know anything about European antiques, he still found a lot of familiar things, that is, porcelain from China.

As we all know, modern China has experienced a hundred years of humiliation, and many precious cultural relics have been lost during this period.

In recent years, the Chinese people have become rich, so a kind of atmosphere has been formed, and they will buy Chinese cultural relics when they see them abroad.

I don't know that not all cultural relics are valuable, many cultural relics, especially porcelain, were originally made for export, regardless of the shape or the patterns on it are in accordance with the aesthetics of Europeans, these cultural relics have also been circulating in Europe, and there is no point in buying them back.

Therefore, Cang Hao didn't pay much attention to Chinese cultural relics, but focused on looking at those European antiques, and was quickly attracted by one thing, which was an Easter egg.

Since the twelfth century, Europeans have formed a tradition of painting eggs in colorful colors to celebrate Easter, which is the "Easter egg".

The Chinese people have their own cultural toys such as Bodhi and walnuts, and the Europeans also have similar things, and the Easter egg is one of them, which originally meant "Jesus was resurrected and walked out of the stone tomb", and later evolved into an art.

Easter eggs come in a variety of patterns and forms, most of which are dyed or painted on eggshells, and in modern times, hollow egg carvings and valuable inlaid eggs have also been produced.

The so-called inlaid eggs are the use of enamel, makeup, mounting and other art forms on the eggs, forming an expensive work of art.

In the history of Europe, royalty and aristocrats from all over the world competed to inlay various treasures on Easter eggs, resulting in many beautiful and stunning works.

The Easter egg that Cang Hao noticed is such a craft, the surface of the eggshell is blue enamel, inlaid with three circles of fine diamonds, and between these three circles of diamonds are dotted with emeralds, rubies and sapphires.

It's hard to believe how the craftsman has set so many gems on a small egg, the key is that these gems are matched together to form a very beautiful visual effect.

This easter egg has a gold prop and is placed in the most prominent position in the store, and it seems to be the treasure of the town.

Cang Hao's eyes just stayed on this Easter egg for a moment, and the boy in the suit who greeted Cang Hao carefully picked up this Easter egg, which made Cang Hao a little surprised, and the waiter here is really too eye-catching.

However, Cang Hao immediately found that he was being amorous, and the waiter did not give the Easter egg to Cang Hao, but to an old gentleman next to him.

The old gentleman was about sixty years old, dressed in a modest suit, holding a cane in his hand, and carrying a not-so-large brown leather box with the Leica logo on it.

You don't have to ask to know that this brown box contains the famous Leica, the Rolls-Royce in the camera.

This old gentleman is very personable in his gestures, and this outfit is completely the style of European aristocrats.

Cang Hao noticed that his leather shoes were polished, and his suit and shirt did not have a trace of wrinkles. It is difficult for a person of this age to clean himself up so neatly, which can only show that there is a special person in charge of taking care of it, which further shows his aristocratic status.

The old gentleman carefully held the Easter egg and couldn't stop admiring: "What a good thing......

He spoke English, with a strong London accent, and it was precisely because of his London accent that Cang Hao's attention was aroused, so Cang Hao took the initiative to talk: "Is there anything special about this easter egg?"

"There are many rare Easter eggs, the most famous of which are made by the famous Russian jeweller Peter 61 Karl 61 Fabergé in the 19th century. For more than 30 years, he was known as the 'Fabergé Easter Eggs', 54 of which were made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II...... In 1917, the February Revolution broke out in Russia, the Romanov dynasty was overthrown, and the tsarist era ended. Later, after several wars in Russia, many easter eggs were lost abroad. Especially after the establishment of the former Soviet Union, in order to obtain the funds to gain a foothold, the new regime sold a lot of art treasures abroad, including Fabergé eggs......" After a pause, the old gentleman continued: "To this day, the Kremlin has only ten Fabergé eggs, and the rest are in the hands of collectors all over the world, and some are missing. In 2004, the Sosby auction house in country M auctioned nine Fabergé eggs, and the Russian oil giant Vikselberg spent more than 70 million US dollars to buy these nine Fabergé eggs, and the result was called the Hero of Russia. ”

Cang Hao understood: "This is a Fabergé Easter egg?"

"Yes. The old gentleman nodded: "Fabergé Easter egg boutique is more than 20 million euros, this easter egg can only be regarded as Fabergé's mediocre work, but it also has a price of more than one million euros,"

"Oh. Cang Hao nodded, and casually asked the waiter, "How much do you sell here?"

When the old gentleman heard this, his eyes widened: "What?

Cang Hao just asked unintentionally, in fact, he really didn't plan to buy it.

Not to mention one million euros, even if it is 100,000 euros, Cang Hao will not consider it.

With this money, it is better to invest in the matrix system, or to develop new weapons, and it makes no sense for Cang Hao to buy such an easter egg and not be able to eat it.

Of course, maybe this thing will appreciate in value, but Cang Hao is still not interested.

Interlacing is not profitable, he is a complete amateur to European cultural games, Cang Hao thinks that it is better not to invest so much money rashly.

But seeing that the old gentleman was so excited, Cang Hao was a little angry: "It's just one million euros, I can afford this price, am I still reluctant to sell it here?"

"You can't sell it!" the old gentleman became even more excited, and held up the Fabergé egg high, as if it was about to be broken.

The waiter was terrified: "Mr. Newscal, you have made us very embarrassed by this......"

The old gentleman, known as "Newskal", said angrily: "What if it is broken, I can't afford to accompany you with one, I have another one that is exactly the same." ”

"Wait a minute......" Cang Hao asked the waiter very curiously: "Is this Fabergé Easter egg from your shop, or is it from this old gentleman?"

"Is this ......" The waiter hesitated for a moment and answered the question sideways: "It used to be Mr. Newscar's." ”
