"Well, it's that Junru, I'm friends with his boss, so he is in charge of the auction of this museum. My museum is a collection of exhibitions and auctions, and I have already negotiated with them that the auction will be carried out by Junru Auction House. Li Huan said.

Song Ting's face changed color slightly.

The world only knows Christie's, that is because Christie's has a good relationship with various news media, and is good at hype, in fact, Christie's has not had any good things recently. On the contrary, this Junru auction house can get one or two good things from time to time, and people in the upper circles of the world now trust Junru even more. And Junru also cherishes feathers, and never makes any defective products, preferring to shoot less, and buy some jewelry for business, and never produce defective products.

In the past two years, Junru has also settled in China, headquartered in Beijing, and has done a prosperous job.

"Haha, Lao Song, don't look at him young, his identity is not simple. Professor Huang pretended to be mysterious.

"Well, it does have something to do with being able to invite an auctioneer from Junru Auction House, it seems that you really have a lot of good things. Old Song nodded slightly.

Li Huan has been tossing in Nanshan for a few days, and Song Ting is like an ant on a hot pot fidgeting, so Professor Huang thought about it and simply went up the mountain to have a look today. Li Huan's museum may have some gems and other things on display, and these things need to be identified before the exhibition, so you can help, try to help. I didn't expect to hear reliable news as soon as I came, since Junru took over the auction work of the museum, even if Li Huan didn't have any peerless products in his hands, it wouldn't be too bad, and if he took 10,000 steps back, it wouldn't be a fake.

The two old men were in a hurry, Li Huan did not delay, pointed to the second floor of the main building and said, "I'll go get some collections, and then we'll set off." ”

Li Huan said that the collection is on the second floor, but in fact, he has not yet poured things out of the virtual space.

There is a room on the second floor of the main building that has no windows, and Li Huan uses it as a collection storehouse, adding an air pressure door with a pupil scanning lock. When he opened the door, it was empty, and after Li Huan saw that the door was locked, he had a thought, except for the weapons and ammunition that had not been used up, as well as various spiritual herbs and elixirs, the things in the virtual space fell to the ground in a hurry.

Then Li Huan was stunned for a long time.

Damn it...... This place may really have to be equipped with a strict defense system, after these things fell to the ground, even Li Huan himself had an urge to rob when he saw it. In the past two years, Li Huan has found several treasures, all of which are constantly pouring into the virtual space, and he has never counted them carefully, but now he knows how rich he is when he turns them out.

First of all, the gold of one place, really the gold of the land.

In it, there are gold coins from medieval Europe, gold bricks engraved with unreadable characters, and gold bars with the smell of seawater, including Bellamy's Treasure Cave and Li Huan got it in that space. According to the current average gold price of 300 grams, a kilogram of gold is 300,000, a ton of gold is 300 million, and the gold in the room alone is worth nearly 1 billion......

In addition to gold, it is a variety of gems in one place, and the number of gems is larger, and it is impossible to calculate it with "pieces", so Li Huan does not plan to calculate, but just selects more than a dozen gems with large size and good color from the gem pile, and prepares to display them as exhibits. As for the rest, Li Huan plans to sell some in bulk, but the amount should not be too large, the gems are no better than gold, if such a large number of gems are dumped, it will even cause turmoil in the international gemstone market. The De Beers family was uprooted back then, and their underground gem warehouses in the Central Bank of London were directly sealed by the authorities, and they did not dare to sell them easily, otherwise the diamonds would be sold for the pound tomorrow.

The gold gem is the big head in Li Huan's virtual space, and the gold gem is vacated, and the virtual space is also more than half empty.

The rest are some spiritual herbs and elixirs and ore talismans that Li Huan found in the secret realm of the South China Sea, these things have not been moved, but they are no more delicate than gold and gems, these things are more delicate, if people know that they have these things in their warehouse, then Li Huan will have to invite people from the Red Sea trade to come to the door - the Qi Refiner robbery is crazy.

The rest is art from Nazi submarines.

Li Huan counted that in addition to the two that had been opened, there were more than 70 wooden boards and boxes that were well wrapped in oilcloth. It is unrealistic to take out all these things at once and show them, he checked them with his mental power, in addition to the two oil paintings that were opened, he also found a few canvas-wrapped painting boards, plus the gems selected before, Li Huan felt that this was enough to make the old men have brain congestion.

After selecting the things, he packed all the selected things into a large wooden box, which was a standard drying oven, which Luo Sheng left behind.

Just as he was about to go to the leading building, he suddenly saw at the door that among the things he had just poured out, there was a square about forty long and wide, wrapped in a box wrapped in oilcloth. This is probably because the submarine was sandwiched between those artworks and was included in the virtual space by Li Huan.

What would be a square?

Li Huan swept it with his mental power and found that there were not paintings in the box, but four glass bottles, each of which contained some liquid. Li Huan carefully sensed it with his spiritual power...... Immediately, his face bloomed with joy.

I don't know which Nazi general's collection of fine wine was packed and taken away...... You can't let the old professors work in vain, can you?

Shancheng Hotel, the most luxurious private room was occupied again today, but Huang Cheng didn't mind, not to mention that Li Huan occasionally came to occupy the private room, even if he came to occupy him every day, he was welcome.

In the corner of the private room, there was a wooden box brought down by Li Huan.

"Today, I am wronged by everyone's loneliness, don't serve any dishes with fire, just serve some cold dishes...... Song Ting said seriously: "If it is really a work of art from the Nazi era, after so many years, they are all very fragile and very sensitive to temperature and humidity, not to mention oil smoke." ”

"Song Lao is thoughtful, but since I am a guest to eat today, I can't eat hot dishes, and I always have to drink a little wine, right?" Li Huan thought about the small box he brought, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, it will look too undignified." ”

"Drinking...... Okay, Lao Huang and I can drink some wine, Lao Huang, you ask your son to bring us some good wine. Song Ting said.

"Hehe, he has nothing in the restaurant, just a lot of wine...... Wait!" Professor Huang made a phone call, and not long after, the door of the private room opened, and Huang Cheng appeared cautiously holding a bottle of wine.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Song, Dad. Huang Cheng shouted one by one in a regular manner, and then put down the wine bottle in his hand and introduced it to everyone: "If you want to drink, you must drink good wine, this is the best wine I can pour." ”

On the table, there is a black porcelain vase with an unsightly appearance, and the label on the porcelain vase is the "Moutai" that everyone is familiar with. Li Huan was a little curious, the white Moutai had heard of it, but the black one had really never heard of it. He looked at Huang Cheng curiously, and Huang Cheng introduced to everyone: "This is what I vacated in the warehouse of the store when I took over the Shancheng Hotel, and it should have been left when the hotel was state-run, and I found a box of 12 bottles, and there are only three bottles left in the past few years...... Don't underestimate this black bottle, this is the state-owned Renhuai Wheel brand Moutai liquor in the 60s! If you want to sell it now, the price will not be less than 100,000 yuan! That is, Dad and the two distinguished guests are here, otherwise I will be reluctant to take it out. ”

After saying that, he opened it himself and poured a glass for everyone.

"Okay, let's replace the food with wine today!" Professor Huang smiled and raised his wine glass.

The three of them toasted, and they were all in awe.

Moutai deserves to be named the "national liquor", and this bottle of Moutai in the 60s can really be called full of wine. The liquor that has been fermented for a long time has a refreshing aroma, and when you take it in your mouth, it feels slightly spicy, and when you swallow it, you feel a line of fire starting to burn in your throat, and you can't help but want to applaud loudly. When the line of fire was extinguished, there was the aroma of wine, and even the breath was fragrant.

After all, Huang Cheng opened a restaurant, and looking at the expressions on the faces of the three of them, he smiled: "How about it, I didn't lie, right? This wine has been almost seventy years old, and there are still two bottles left, waiting for my old man to use it when he pays his birthday." ”

"Nonsense, I have nothing to worship, I can't die yet. Why didn't you take it out when Li Huan got married?" Professor Huang pretended to reprimand.

"Hey, this is Boss Huang's favorite, and I'm a person who can't drink, so don't spoil things. Li Huan hurriedly said, and then put the small wooden box on the table: "Since Boss Huang has started, then I can't lag behind, it just so happens that I also have a few bottles of wine, and I want to ask the two of you to identify them." ”

"What is this for? Why is there still an oilcloth?" Professor Huang was curious: "This."

What's in it?"

"Well, when I got them out of a Nazi submarine, I was always very careful because I was afraid that if I opened them without permission, changes in the surrounding environment would cause damage to the contents inside. Li Huan explained.

"Well, the attitude towards art. The two old men nodded again and again, and then looked surprised: "In other words, this batch of artworks has resurfaced after a few years, and we are the first to see them!"

Li Huan tore off the oilcloth three or two times, and the oilcloth was wrapped in a wicker box, and the gaps in the boxes were sealed with wax, leaving no gaps at all. The wicker box was nailed directly with thick carpentry nails, and a few lines of German text were left on the box with printed text, and under the box letter, there was the "SS" logo, which was the abbreviation of the Nazi SS, which also showed that this box was indeed one of the looted goods of the Nazis.

Song Ting rubbed his hands excitedly: "It seems that we are going to use tools." Lao Huang, let your son's pliers come over, and we'll take it apart. ”

Professor Huang was about to ask Huang Cheng to come with pliers, but Li Huan stopped him: "What pliers do you use?" ”

After speaking, Li Huan secretly condensed an aura in his hand, and gently slapped it towards the box, and the sealing wax was immediately shattered. After shattering the beeswax, Li Huan directly pulled off the willow strip in two or two clicks, and the two old men who watched this action were secretly frightened. The wicker box is almost the standard equipment of military packaging all over the world, because willow wood grows fast, and the lateral tensile resistance is very strong, it is often used to load ammunition and various firearms, and it is a very strong packaging box. Li Huan tore open the willow plank with just two hands, which was a little too scary.

Of course, the two old professors didn't make much of a fuss, one of them knew that Li Huan had a special identity and some extraordinary human abilities, and the other was the ability of his old friend Li Huan every day. And for them, it doesn't matter whether Li Huan has a lot of strength or not, the most important thing is what is in the box.

After the wicker box was torn open by Li Huan, there were four dark brown glass bottles inside. There is a seal on the outside of the bottle, because it has been too long, the seal has turned pale yellow, but it is vaguely recognizable that the bottle contains wine. Li Huan grinned, he really guessed correctly. He picked up a bottle and shook it, and there was a sound of clattering water inside, as if the liquid in it had been concentrated for many years.

"Is it really wine?" Professor Huang didn't know much about European history, and was stunned on the spot.

"Well, I'll see...... Abbey of Saint-Vivão de Vigi...... 1573...... Pastor Hubert or something...... "It's been so long that the seal on the bottle has become illegible. And what surprised Li Huan the most was that this seal turned out to be handwritten, and it was good to be able to recognize this thing after the baptism of time.

"What are you talking about?Monastery of Saint-Vivão de Vigi!?" Song Ting, who was taking out his glasses and carefully reading the words on the seal, was startled.

"Well, it's the monastery of Saint-Vivão de Vigi, and the name of the priest who signed it, and the rest of the things are really unrecognizable. Li Huan nodded: "Professor Song knows about this monastery?"

"Oh my God, I know!? This is a real cultural relic!" Song Ting gasped: "No wonder, no wonder you want to seal it!"

"Is it good wine? Old Song, tell me about it. Professor Huang was also interested.

"Good wine, you old horseman, how can you describe it with wine!" Song Ting gently put the bottle back on the table like a baby, and when he put it on, his hands were shaking, and he finally put the bottle away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It can be said to be the ancestor of all wines in modern times! Do you know what this thing is called? It can no longer be called wine, if it is really a treasure from the Abbey of Saint-Vivan de Vigi, then it is more appropriate to describe it by its nickname, it is called divine blood! Have you ever heard of Romanée-Conti Winery?"

Romanée Conti comes from Château Romanée-Conti, one of the oldest in European history, and even when it comes to Domaine Romanée-Conti, even the owners of the top Bordeaux vineyards pay great respect. But less well known is the predecessor of Château Romanée-Conti, the Abbey of Saint-Vivão de Vigi.

Historically, this monastery has left many mysterious records, and it was founded by Manasseh I under the protection of the castle of D-Vigi. Later, the Cistercian Order, which was known for its mystery in history, that is, the Catholic hermitage, gave rise to the tradition of winemaking in this area and created a certain reputation, so that this monastery embarked on the road of winemaking, and became the predecessor of the Romanée-Conti winery.

Count Alexandre, a veteran European nobleman who has been in charge of Bordeaux's top wine estate for more than 30 years, once told people that he could only talk softly and respectfully about Romanée-Conti's dream wine in his home, which shows its sacred status in the hearts of European nobles.

Today, the wines produced by Romanée-Conti have become the object of many European aristocrats.

In 2011, a bottle of 1945 Romanée-Conti 750ml was sold for $123889, while a bottle of 1978 Romanée-Conti sold for HK$3,675,000 at another auction. In 2014, 12 bottles of Romanée Conti wine sold for $1.6 million in a single auction, and in just a few years, the value of the wine has risen by more than 50 percent.

Today, Romanée Conti is a dream for many wine lovers, who describe it as "a lingering fragrance of dying roses, a jewel of the gods when they return to heaven". Its long history, mysterious origins, and scarce production have created its supremacy. In the whole of China, there are only a few bottles of the serious Romanée Conti, which are basically used as collectors' town houses or treasures.

And the treasure in Li Huan's wicker box is the predecessor of Romanée-Conti, brewed by the Abbey of Saint-Vivão de Vigi, which can really be called a fine wine of "divine blood"!

The 1945 Romanée-Conti sold for $130,000, but how much did it cost if it was a 15th-century Abbey of Saint-Viven-de-Vigi?

It's no wonder that Song Ting would describe it as "divine blood".

Bang!

Song Ting was talking to the two of them about the history of the Abbey of Saint-Vivan de Vigi and the origin of the mysterious Catholic monastery, when he suddenly heard a ring in his ears, his heart jumped, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound - he saw Li Huan holding a glass bottle with beautiful handwritten flowers, I don't know how to open the cork with beeswax on the bottle, and he was sniffing it with his nose, and he had a dull expression.

"You...... You...... Are you open?" Song Ting looked at Li Huan in disbelief.

"That's right, I want to smell and see what the wine tastes like for five hundred years......" Li Huan frowned and shook his head: "It's not as good as I imagined, I don't even estimate that it can't be drunk, right?"

"Drink? this is history, do you use it to drink?" Song Ting hadn't turned around yet.

The wine made by the friars of the Abbey of Saint-Vivão de Vigi, which also happened to be made during the reign of the monastics, can no longer be regarded as wine, it is living history, and all the wines of the world must be subservient. is such a bottle of living history, and Li Huan pulled it out, what is the structure of this brain circuit!

Regardless of its historical value, a bottle of 15th-century Saint-Vivão de Vigue Abbey wine is serious among the most wealthy people who love wine, and it is worth at least millions of dollars!

"I've already opened it anyway. Li Huan said with a smile: "Boss Huang, please go get four red wine glasses." ”

Huang Cheng went busily.

"You're a tyrannical thing!" Song Ting gritted his teeth.

"It's not a tyrannical thing, it's a rare thing. Li Huan explained: "When I was a child, I heard a story about a stamp called Hei Yi. It is said that a young man found two precious black stamps by chance, which were the world's first stamps, and they were out of print by then. Two stamps, he was offered £1 million each. As a result, the young man tore one up on the spot, and the one he had left in his hand was the only one left in the world, and the price soared to five million pounds in an instant. ”

"Just for a story?" Professor Huang couldn't help but laugh.

Drinking millions of dollars for a story?

"Do you two drink it? It's a good thing from the fifteenth century, it's already open anyway, and it won't last the night. After Li Huan finished speaking, Huang Cheng also hurried over, Li Huan took the wine glass in Huang Cheng's hand and put it on the table, poured wine evenly in the four cups, picked up a glass and handed it to Huang Cheng.

"Me too?"

Cheng was stunned.

"Li Huan is holding a bottle of wine from the Abbey of Saint-Vivan de Vigi, and your Uncle Song analyzes that this bottle of wine may be worth millions of dollars. Professor Huang said, "The cup in your hand will cost about $300,000." It's not cheaper than your wheel plate. ”

Huang Cheng's hand trembled: "This, it's inconvenient for me to drink this, right?"

Damn, I pretended to be forced to choose the wrong person today! How can I forget that this Mr. Li has a special identity! Although he has a big family and a big business, it is no problem to drink a bottle of wheel Moutai, but if he wants to drink this kind of history, Huang Cheng must be worried in his heart. This is not a big road commodity like Lafite, millions of dollars a bottle of wine, where is this wine, this is drinking diamonds.

"It's okay, I'm going to keep a bottle for myself, and the rest will be auctioned, everyone drinks it and gives me some opinions, I always have to describe it. Li Huan took the lead and took a sip.

"Since the master has said so, then let's try it too!" Song Ting gritted his teeth, as if facing an enemy.

Those who study history and engage in art are either good tea or good wine, or both. If you want to say that you like to drink, except for Li Huan, you don't drink much at this table, Professor Huang and Song Ting like to drink two sips, not to mention Huang Cheng, who believes that he doesn't drink when he opens a restaurant? At first, everyone was frightened by the name of the monastery of Saint-Viven de Vigi, but seeing that Li Huan had made a start, who could bear this wine that had been fermented for more than 500 years in front of him?

This kind of wine is not something that can be bought with money, and if you drink it, you will lose one sip, and after you finish drinking it, you can go back and blow it for years.

Have you ever drunk a sip of wine that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Of course, Professor Huang and the three of them were shocked by Li Huan's strength and handwriting, and he opened a bottle of multimillion-dollar wine for a simple meal, and there are not necessarily a few people in the country who have this kind of handwriting. The most important thing is that perhaps the wine of the Abbey of Saint-Vivão de Vigi is still collected, but this kind of thing has become a belief, and anyone who gets it will treasure it, and even if they want to drink it, it is on a very solemn occasion, and who will not hesitate to take it out and drink it to a friend who has just met?

But......

When I drank it, everyone laughed.

"Hmm...... It's not good to drink. Li Huan was the first to smash his mouth: "It's like over-fermented vinegar." ”

"Hehe, Xiaoyou is quick to talk, but you can say that it is not delicious, this honesty is commendable. The second speaker was Professor Huang, who put down his wine glass: "Wine has historical significance, but there is no saying that it will become more fragrant the more it exists. It's not easy to get the taste of vinegar out of a 500-year-old wine. ”

"It's a bit of a desecration, but you're right. Song Ting also sighed.

"There is no blasphemy in drinking alcohol, and if you don't drink it after learning its history, it will be sad, right? After all, isn't wine just for people to drink?" Li Huan finally summed up a set of fallacies and heresies.

"That makes sense. "Everyone returned.

That's right, the composition of wine and the alcohol content are destined to be unsuitable for long-term storage, and even China's liquor has a shelf life.

It was once found in a tomb excavated at the archaeological site of the Sanshilipu Han Tomb Group that a clay pot contained a mysterious liquid. After the identification of the mysterious liquid, it was confirmed that it was a fragrant liquor. However, after thousands of years of precipitation and volatilization, the ethanol content of the liquid is so low that no ethanol was found in the first analysis.

"Of course, although this thing is not delicious, it is a cultural relic after all, and no one can say what it tastes like today, so let the world's brains make up for it. Li Huan said half-jokingly: "Otherwise, the price will fall during the auction, and I will have to settle accounts with you." ”

The wine in the cup is unpleasant, but everyone still drinks it all, no matter how unpleasant the value is, it can't be treated casually - just drink vinegar as if it is nothing to drink and nourish the body's acid-base balance.

After the wine, it was time to get to the point, and instead closed the door with great insight: "I'll let people look at the door." ”

Li Huan took out two wooden boards wrapped in nano membranes from the box and said: "These two pieces are unpacked, one of them is "The Woman Holding the Silver Mouse", and the other one I don't sell anymore, I suspect it is Raphael's self-portrait." These two unsealed paintings were found in Nazi submarines, and I am not very good at oil paintings, so I asked Song Lao to give me a palm to see if they are genuine......"

Then, Li Huan took out a sandalwood box from the box and opened it, and more than a dozen gems the size of a baby's fist in it shone brightly under the light of the private room, he put the box on the table and said: "These are the gems I selected and of better quality, and I am also ready to participate in the exhibition." Huang Lao, take a look and give some advice. ”

Li Huan's things were all prepared for him by Luo Sheng, and in order to take over Li Huan's business, Luo Sheng did things to the extreme. And Li Huan's careful custody of this serious approach has also been unanimously praised by the two professors. Song Ting gave Li Huan the entire manor as a museum, just to see the style of the two missing famous paintings, and when Li Huan put the two painting boards in front of him, Song Ting's expression changed first.

How to distinguish the real from the fake in a painting? In addition to using scientific instruments to detect it, most experts will tell you a very mysterious word - feeling.

That's right, such a mysterious statement is all too common in the eyes of experts. There are many imitations in this world, but even if you use 3D fine scanning and spray painting to perfectly imitate the brushstrokes, even if you can't distinguish them by machines, experts can still distinguish them by "feeling". This so-called feeling is the spirit of a work of art, and it is the expression of the original author's habits, moods, skills, and so on.

Of course, to become a master who can use your senses to identify works of art, you need to see and see.

After Song Ting was stunned for a moment, he immediately took out a one-eye magnifying glass from his arms, did not speak, and carefully distinguished every detail of the painting - both paintings are posthumous works, and no one can say whether they are true or false, only judging from the delicate brushstrokes, the traces of brushstrokes left on the paint, and the "feeling".

Song Ting's eyes couldn't be removed from the paintings now, and his first feeling was that these two paintings were absolutely authentic, of course, in addition to a one, he also needed to distinguish delicately, so he was now distinguishing bit by bit.

"Lao Song sees that a good painting is like this, you don't have to worry about it. Professor Huang said, "I'll help you see these gems." ”

Gemstones are much simpler, they are natural creations, and once you have mastered the art of distinguishing them, especially those old professors who have been dealing with geology all their lives, they can tell the truth from the fake with the help of instruments. Li Huan's sandalwood box contained three diamonds and one five-colored gemstone, all the size of a baby's fist.

"The quality is very good, and with a little polishing, it can be used as an exhibit. As for the price of the auction item, I don't know, you have to find a professional for this. You have friends from Junru Auction House, so I won't intervene much. Professor Huang picked up the box and said, "I can issue you an appraisal certificate, if you can trust me, I will keep it for you, and I will return it to you after the appraisal certificate is issued." ”

"There's nothing to believe in that. Li Huan smiled: "If you like it, I'll give you a few." ”

"Send me?" Professor Huang looked strange.

The gems that Li Huan took out and prepared to exhibit were not shocking treasures compared to the two artworks that Song Ting was appraising, but the price would definitely not be low. But thinking about it, just now that Li Huan had attacked a bottle of cultural relics from the Abbey of Saint-Vivan de Vigi, Professor Huang was relieved again, and couldn't help but glance at Li Huan more.

Professor Huang naturally knew that Li Huan's identity was not ordinary.

But it seems that an intellectual like Professor Huang is a backbone, not that Li Huan's identity is different, he just looks up to it, his old colleague Song Ting is still a figure with a special national allowance, in the eyes of this kind of character, rights are no longer a rare thing.

The reason why he looked at Li Huan more was because he felt that Li Huan was very special.

It is said that he is young and frivolous, as if Li Huan's age is the age when he should be frivolous. If someone else had this kind of condition, others would not dare to say it, and his ass would have been raised to the sky long ago, for fear that others would know that he had no money. On the other hand, Li Huan is indeed rich, too rich, and with the level of his engagement banquet guests, if he has no power in his hands, Professor Huang will definitely not believe it.

When you should be frivolous when you are young, you have money, you have power, you can't say it well, and there is definitely no shortage of women - this kind of character can't lack that woman.

Under such conditions, he can still keep his heart, and no matter how he acts, he is like an ordinary person, which is extremely rare.

"Professor Huang, what do you think I'm doing?" Li Huan smiled faintly: "How is it?
