Home is not a temple, if the pomp of the entire Immortal Buddha Conference comes out, can you afford it?

However, this fairy also has its differences, some need to absolutely avoid making too much, and some don't care, when the decoration is done.

For example, there are many fairy sculptures in ancient Greek and Roman styles in the garden of Long Island Manor, but most of them are imitations after the Renaissance, and to put it bluntly, they are just simple art decorations.

As long as it looks suitable, you can put it casually, and you don't pay too much attention to it.

As for the statue sculpture manor that was actually placed in the temple 2,000 years ago, there are basically underground warehouses, but there are still a few pieces that are placed in the main building as decorations.

The ancient statue is not good in the wind and sun, and people who play collection can't do this.

But it is too much to say that three immortals are too much, and there are still seven or eight people in the main building of the human sculpture manor in Greek mythology, why is Zhang Nan not worried?

Simple!

Whoever made the gods of ancient Greece and ancient Rome have long since lost the market and the lack of incense, and the past tense has naturally become the fate of changing decorations.

The ancient gods of Europe are out of breath, but what about the more distant ancient Egyptian gods?

The farther away the better!

Even if ancient Egypt has long been wiped out, but those immortals with dog heads, wolf heads, and stork heads are basically related to death and mummies, even if they are rare in the international collectibles market, Zhang Nan will never put their statues and murals in the house where he lives!

Lives await underground!

It's cold to think about, and they all look weird, and it's an eyesore to see.

What about those in India?

Almost all of them are piled up in the treasury, and if the Buddhist ones are put out, they will be opened, and they will be stored first;

Even Zhang Nan didn't care about it, and those treasures of Hinduism were also temporarily living in the underground warehouse, for a simple reason: they didn't match the environment of the manor.

But some religious statues and paintings are different, and there are many people who believe in them nowadays, so it's really better not to make too many of them, unless they are put in a museum where there are no taboos, or sent to the corresponding temple.

There are so many kinds of exquisiteness, and the result is that Zhang Nan rarely spends a lot of money to buy collections such as statues of gods and Buddhas, unless it is the kind that is dug out of the field of a French winery, otherwise he will not touch this kind of collection.

This was the first time that an exception was made, and the icon was sold for $7.8 million, all in cash, and the priest's family had to avoid taxes.

The boss's dislike of collecting icons meant that the icon would never be his favorite, and in Jerry's opinion, it could obviously be used as a bargaining chip in some deals.

The Russians regard it as a lost treasure of the town, and they must show enough sincerity in order to bring back the icon of the Turkvin Church!

Money...

I'm sorry, the Russians don't have it for the time being, and they don't have a few super-rich people;

"Exchange artifacts?"

Zhang Nan immediately dispelled this idea: even if an exchange agreement can be reached, nine times out of ten it is not suitable to be made public, otherwise where will the face of the Maozi go?

The exchange of collections that cannot be made public, even if he can go to the Russian Museum of Oriental Art to pick up things, Zhang Nan does not need it.

Things can't be disclosed, and there's a use for getting them back!

He will only want Huaxia cultural relics in this kind of exchange, Mao Zi has a lot of them in his hands, but send them to Huaxia after exchanging them?

Don't be funny, he hasn't become the president for life of any country in Africa.

Hold it for now?

No, it can be exchanged now, or even given as a suitable gift, as a bargaining chip for some people to increase their influence.

As for being a good person in the future, Zhang Nan has cultural relics in his hands that can be exchanged with Russia, and even the Amber Palace is just one of the bargaining chips.

Don't feel sorry for this icon, there are things that can be exchanged for what you need now, things can be, and people can also be favored.

At this time, Nicole and Jenny also returned to the manor and saw this icon, even after listening to Jerry's introduction, they didn't think it was very precious.

The treasures left behind by the Knights Templar were numb.

During the dinner, Zhang Nan recalled a little memory about the icon in his mind, which was very vague: the seller's statement that his father had left a will to return the icon of the Turkvin Church to Russia was not pure nonsense, but it was by no means in vain!

In the last life, at the beginning of the 21st century, the icon returned to Russia, but it seems to have been negotiated for seven or eight years.

Why do you want to talk about it?

The family of Reverend John definitely did not return the icon of the Turkvin Church to Russia for free, to put it bluntly, it is money!

Money, all for money, it's just that no one knows exactly how much Russia spends.

Zhang Nan didn't remember the name of the icon at all in his previous life, but remembered the legend of "found in the lake" when watching the news, and Russia specially held a grand welcoming ceremony for it.

Of course, there is still an iron-fisted cool brother Lao Pu, Mr. President also appeared at the scene at the time, otherwise this news would not be everywhere, and even Zhang Nan, who likes cultural relics and antiques, can leave such an impression in his mind.

I remember that since 2003, the Russians began to buy back the treasures lost by their country on a large scale, such as in 04, a Russian billionaire spent more than 50 million pounds to buy a Western family's collection of 9 tsar eggs at one time.

It's not just the Chinese who like to be robbed twice, but also the Russian Maozi!

The next day Zhang Nan asked Pavel, who lived in the "middle and senior employee community of the company" near the manor, to come to the main building.

Most of the Red Devils have something to do these days, but Andrei and the others are on Long Island, but they belong to the family at home, and Pavel is very idle among the leading figures, driving to the manor every day to fish.

This guy picks on the door, or in other words, he doesn't want US imperialism to make more money: he resolutely refuses to apply for a fishing license, and the fishing department does not care about fishing in the manor.

Pavel's expression changed slightly as soon as he saw the icon of the Turkvin Church, and after getting a copy of the information about the icon found by Jerry that Zhang Nan handed him, he actually closed the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of his right hand, and drew a cross on his chest from top to bottom and from right to left.

He was a Red Devil, but he was not an outright atheist, and even during the Soviet Union's most restrictive period of religion, it did not completely ban it.

"I have a job to trouble you, to send this Turkvin church icon to Leningrad when I have time... Not used to it, now it's all called St. Petersburg, awkward!

I got there and handed over to the new first deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, the old man in charge of foreign economic relations, who came out of the KGB like you, and I have personal contact information here, saying that I gave him a gift.

I can tell him where he came from, and he doesn't need to know where the seller's house lives, and I don't think he's interested.

Things to do are secret, and he can deal with them as he wants. ”

Zhang Nan used it as a bargaining chip, but this trip was not to exchange things, but to exchange favors.
