0753 Difficult

The Agnelli family is not small in Italy, the old industrial family, the rows of luxurious Maserati appeared at the airport, and many people knew that it was the Agnelli family greeting important guests.

Similarly, the Manchester United A380 is also quite well-known in Europe, and the huge red fuselage parked in the airport is extremely eye-catching.

"Wu, the car that Manchester United went out on is too high-profile, you see, it won't be long before the whole Fiorentina knows that Manchester United is coming. ”

After Rapo Erkan and Wu Qian hugged warmly, he pointed to the big red plane behind Wu Qian and said, whenever he saw this plane, he couldn't help but feel envious in his heart.

"Shouldn't everyone have known that there is a game at the Frankie Stadium tomorrow night before they come? Wu Qian said with a smile.

While the two were talking, Rapo Elkann saw a lady walking up to Wu Qian, the same Elizabeth he had seen in Miami, he secretly exclaimed badly, and hurriedly walked up to Elizabeth and made a gentleman's salute.

He remembered reminding Wu Qian and asked him not to bring a female companion, why did he still bring it, so that some of his arrangements would not be in vain.

After a few polite greetings, Wu Qian got into his car and left the airport with the luxurious Maserati motorcade of the Agnelli family.

Just as the Sergei family was in Nizhny Novgorod, the Agnelli family also had some privileges when they traveled, and the convoy left the airport through a special exit.

Without passing through the city, around the west side of Florence, the convoy headed towards the suburbs.

After a short time, the convoy stopped by the moat of a Gothic castle, built on a hill, the overall area is not too large, not as exaggerated as Leeds Castle, but full of Renaissance art of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

The main body of the castle is a touch of sunset yellow, very well maintained, with no signs of dilapidation, and many towering minarets make the whole building look mysterious, mournful and sublime.

It's hard to imagine who the nobles who lived in this castle over the centuries and what kind of life they experienced, carrying too many historical stories.

Standing on the other side of the moat and looking at the castle, Wu Qian fully appreciated the flavor of Gothic architecture in Italy, which is completely different from Leeds Castle, but somewhat similar to the "cold jade" church in Florence.

"Wu, the ChΓ’teau de Karlo is the palace that I used to receive noble guests, come, please, the servants should be preparing lunch, and take you to admire my collection. ”

Rapo Erkan very politely said that this castle is a property in his name, which is rarely used in normal times, and is a place dedicated to the art collection.

Wu Qian ordered the men of the spades to carry their luggage, and he followed Rapo Elkan across the small bridge over the symbolic moat, and said with a smile: "Elkan, do you believe that there are some things that you will deeply like after just looking at them?"

Rapo Elkan thought for a moment and said, "In your Celestial Empire's culture, is there a word called 'love at first sight' (broken Chinese)?"

Wu Qian nodded, walked to the gate of the castle, patted the stone wall, the touch of the hemp surface reflected a touch of vicissitudes, and he said: "That's right, I fell in love with Carlo Castle at first sight, discuss it, how about selling this castle to me?"

The first time I went to Italy, I had to buy a few decent properties and leave a little footprint, and I really liked this ancient castle Wu Qian, and it was rare to see such a well-preserved Gothic castle.

Wu Qian's words made the assistant who was with Rapo Erkan almost overwhelmed, this castle was not bought by Rapo Erkan with money, but inherited by his grandfather, and the old man bought this castle fifty years ago.

The price of this castle has not been verified for a long time, because there is only one private castle in the Gothic style in the entire Florence area, so it seems that Wu Qian is still very knowledgeable.

"Oh, Wu, you're making me panic like this...... Thank you very much for liking my castle of Carlo, but I ...... You can live in this castle for as long as you want, but please don't buy it, okay?"

Rapo Elkan was also a little reluctant in his heart, he was very entangled, he wanted to sell, but he was reluctant to sell, and he didn't even dare to ask Wu Qian's price, afraid that he was really tempted and regretted selling it.

Wu Qian laughed and said, "Sell it to me, I will often come to Italy to play with you when the time comes, how good." In this way, I make a price, you don't bargain, I don't say a second price, as long as you think it's appropriate, nod it, if it's not suitable, just because I haven't said it. ”

After that, Wu Qian stretched out a finger and said, "I don't know much about the market of Italian castles, in order to show my sincerity, I will give this number." ”

Rapo Elkan looked at the finger that Wu Qian was holding up, thought about it, and sighed wistfully.

"Oh, Mr. Wu, I'm afraid I can't afford this castle for a million euros, the last price assessment of Kahlo Castle was ten years ago, and it would have reached five million euros......"

Said the assistant next to Rapo Elkan.

The assistant was only with Rapo Elkan when he was in Italy, so he didn't know much about Wu Qian, and naively thought that Wu Qian's raised finger represented one million euros.

Wu Qian looked at his finger in some amazement, and then gestured at Rapo Ercambi.

Rapo Elkan scolded secretly, glared at the assistant beside him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, apologize to Mr. Wu immediately!"

The assistant felt a little aggrieved, but he still obediently said sorry to Wu Qian, but he didn't think he was anything wrong, and said secretly, isn't one a million, can it still be a billion?

As if to answer the question in the assistant's mind, Wu Qian said with a smile: "I'm talking about Hundredmillion (one hundred million), according to the expression of the Celestial Empire, one hundred million, euros." ”

This is the cultural difference, Rapo Elkann has suffered the loss of "G" coach, and knows that Wu Qian's expression cannot be understood according to the thinking of Westerners, and sure enough, it is still that taste.

The assistant next to Rapo Elkann finally knew why he needed to apologize to the big guy, because he really blamed the other party......

"Oh, this damn money, it's so painful for me......"

Ten years ago, five million euros, but ten years later, the castle on the outskirts of Florence has not appreciated much, at most it is worth tens of millions of euros.

100 million euros is more than ten times the market price of Carlo Castle, and Rapo Erkan is not only tempted, but he is really a little reluctant to sell it, because there are not many such castles in the whole of Italy, but he also wants that 100 million euros.

"Wu, you are so ruthless, I blame you for paying such a high price, I can't stand it......"

In the end, Rapo Elkan still bowed his head to the capital and accepted Wu Qian's offer, he couldn't refuse, because once he refused, he would linger for a long time, stay awake all night, and feel that he had really lost 100 million.

Rapo Elkan used to receive the castle in front of Wu, but before the guests could enter the castle, the castle changed hands.

"Thank you, Elkan, I really like this castle, and as a token of appreciation, I invite you to see a work of art after a while. ”

Wu Qian said mysteriously.

Elkan pursed his lips and said, "Don't talk about your art, although this castle promised to sell you, I don't sell all the artworks in the castle, only sell your castle, I won't even leave you a chair, really!"

Erkan secretly hated himself for not being angry, losing to 100 million euros, and said angrily.

Wu Qian looked at Rapo Elkan's appearance and laughed, and said, "No problem, I'll arrange someone to help you move." ”

After speaking, Wu Qian walked into the gate of the castle, and the intimate servant had already opened the gate of the castle for him.

After lunch at the castle, the group drove towards the city, sitting in the back row of a custom-made Maserati, and Rapo Elkan seemed to be enchanted, stunned.

The reason why Rapo Elkan was so distracted was not because he sold Castle Carlo for 100 million euros, but because something happened during lunch.

Although the castle promised to be sold to Wu Qian, Rapo Erkan still claimed to be the host, and poured wine for Wu Qian and Elizabeth very enthusiastically.

When he knew that Elizabeth was a simulator, he lost his composure for a moment.

First, he circled around Elizabeth many times, staring at it non-stop, and then grabbed Wu Qian and asked a lot of questions about the android.

Italy's artificial intelligence is far less developed than that of the United States, and the emergence of Elisabeth has given Elcan a glimpse of future technology.

The violent collision of time and space between a android and a cyborgoid in a castle that was more than 500 years old gave him a strange feeling, and for a moment, he felt that the whole world was not real.

Castello Carlo is not far from the city of Florence, and Wu Qian wanted to visit this European cultural center, and Rapo Elkan naturally accompanied him.

For the first stop, Wu Qian chose the only building he could identify on the plane, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers.

Located in the historic centre of Florence, Santa Maria del Fiore is a complex consisting of a cathedral, bell tower and baptistery, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1982 as part of the historic centre of Florence.

The group went out on the street, and the battle was not small, with more than a dozen bodyguards before and after, and some people hid in the dark and followed each other closely.

For the ancient city full of leisure and literary atmosphere, Wu Qian's party is too eye-catching, and many people standing on the side of the street drinking coffee will cast their inquiring eyes.

Wu Qian has long been accustomed to being watched, as long as no one affects him.

Walking on the old streets, surrounded by old European-style buildings, most of the roads are small uneven gravel roads, the roads are crisscrossed, Wu Qian felt that if it were not for Rapo Erkan to lead the way, he might have lost his way.

After a short time, the group walked to the square Duamo, where the Cathedral of Our Lady of Fiore is located.

Built in the 14th century, the cathedral took 140 years to build and became the center of the Holy See in Florence.

Perhaps because he is not a believer, walking in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers, Wu Qian is not as solemn and pious as Rapo Erkan next to him, he should be visiting places of interest.

Due to Rapo Erkan's greeting in advance, the church restricted the flow of visitors when Wu Qian traveled with him, and the whole church was very clean.

It didn't take much time for Wu Qian to roughly visit the main part of the church, although he was not a believer, he respected the beliefs of others very much, he did not do all the forbidden acts, and left a check for 100,000 euros to the church when he left, which was used for daily expenses.

Leaving the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the group headed straight to the Uffizi Gallery.

In fact, according to Wu Qian's thoughts, he just wanted to visit the Uffizi Gallery, because theoretically, the collection in the museum belonged to him.

On the way to the Uffizi Gallery, Wu Qian and Rapo Elkann chatted about the Medici family and Florence, intentionally or unintentionally.

He could hear from the words of Rapo Erkan that there was an inseparable connection between the city of Florence and the Medici family, and that without the Medici family there would be no Florence today, and the whole city was branded with traces of the Medici family.

As Rapo Elkan said, Wu Qian found a coat of arms in many parts of the city of Florence similar to the coat of arms on the key in his arms, which he knew was the coat of arms of the Medici family.

A dynastic family has influenced a city for hundreds of years, how far-reaching, once some dynasties are annihilated, the culture belonging to this dynasty will be completely destroyed, but the Medici dynasty is different, it forged Florence, and Florence still retains the traces of the Medici family.

The greatness of the Medici family made Wu Qian sigh, but since then, he felt that it was even more difficult to take the Medici legacy.

When he arrived at the Uffizi Gallery in the Uffizi Palace, Wu Qian looked at the arched door and turned his head sideways to Rapo Elkan and said, "Elkan, some time ago I heard a legend about the Medici and Florence. ”

"Is it true that the last member of the Medici family did not donate the family's property to the Tuscan government, but let it keep it on his behalf, and that the Medici named Anna secretly created a key, and it is said that whoever gets the key in future generations will have the Medici inheritance?"

Rapo Elkan looked at Wu Qian with a strange expression on his face, and said: "Wu, I heard my grandfather talk about it when I was a child, but I didn't expect you to hear it, you also know that this is a legend, the glory of Florence is inseparable from the Medici family, and the Medici family will not leave Florence." ”

"Anna Medici could not have forged such a key, and even if there were, it would be impossible for our country to let anyone take any of the collections in the Uffizi Gallery, and Florence without the Medici family would not be Florence......"
