Rapo Elkann refused to give up, raised a charming smile again, and said, "Wu, since you know "Savior Mundi", you must have a certain understanding of the rough history of that painting. It can be seen that da Vinci's paintings all need to go through ups and downs before they appear in front of the world.

Not only "Savior", but even the world-famous "Mona Lisa's Smile" is also full of ups and downs. You have to believe that somewhere in the castle, there must be a stunning piece lying down, and if you find it, I can make a price that will make you absolutely satisfied!

Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi was completed around 1500, coinciding with the Mona Lisa's Smile.

The Salvator Mundi first belonged to King Charles I of England and passed into the hands of Charles II, who then passed it to the Duke of Buckingham, whose son sold it in 1763.

After that, the painting was not traced for a time, and it was not until 1900 that traces of the oil painting reappeared. Over the past 500 years, the Salvator Mundi has been repainted countless times, and the original painting was once covered in a thick oil paint.

In 1958, Salvator Mundi sold for £45 at an auction in the UK. In 2005, an American buyer bought it as a knock-off for $10,000. After 6 years of cleaning and appraisal, the painting was confirmed to be authentic by Leonardo da Vinci, which immediately caused a great sensation.

"Mona Lisa's Smile" also has a rough history, da Vinci took this painting with him until his death, and then sold it to the king of France by his students, after more than 500 years, the painting was stolen several times, and it almost cost France 3.4 billion dollars to redeem it......

Wu Qian really didn't know about the difficult process of "Savior", he had heard about the 450 million auction amount, and he understood why when Leeds Castle shouted 500 million pounds, several people almost gave up, and it must have been set with reference to the auction price of "Savior", which is even more solid what Rapo Elkan said.

"Three, it's not early today, let's talk about it here. I'm not very hospitable, so I won't leave a few to spend the night at the castle. Please come back. Wu Qian was unmoved, the more true it was, the more he would not agree to the other party.

What are you kidding, even if you don't have any opinion on art, da Vinci's paintings are definitely worth collecting! Wu Qian couldn't think of any reason to trade the paintings of such an art giant to Italians, it was completely impossible!

"This ......" The heirs of the three major families, you look at me, I look at you, and I say in my heart, this oriental young man is unreasonable!

"Wu, I think it's very inappropriate for you to do this. Aren't you afraid that we'll get the word out?" said Clark Virgio, it's a big deal to let the whole world know that you have a painting of Leonardo da Vinci here, and it's a mess for you!

The attraction of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings is enormous, and if the descendants of the three major Italian families tell the news, I am afraid that there will not be many people who doubt it.

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows, this is the beginning of the threat, he believes that if this news is made public, maybe someone dares to do anything from the surface, but there are definitely many people who act secretly, and there is definitely no shortage of outlaws in this world.

This is also the only place that Wu Qian is afraid of, if it is not handled well, it is indeed very troublesome, at least at least, plus the auction fee of nearly 600 million pounds Leeds Castle is lost, and at worst, it is life-threatening!

When it comes to this step of the negotiations, it is about to face a collapse, and the scene is very tense. Although it is said that several of the bodyguards behind them have guns, it is almost impossible to start a fire, because the impact is too great.

Wu Qian's mind was racing, he really wanted to keep these guys here forever, but he couldn't do that, the impact was too great, and it wasn't something that could be settled with money at all.

"Guys, you've got it figured. Leeds Castle is mine now, and if you plan to make the news public, then I'll play hard!" Wu Qian slapped the table and stood up.

"If you dare to release the news, then I will immediately hold a media conference to inform the world, let people who are interested in treasure hunting come to Leeds Castle to search, whoever helps me find Leonardo da Vinci's painting, I will reward me with a lot of money! Of course, I believe that the security force is in charge of G4S, and it will be in place!

Hehe, maybe because of this incident, I can earn back a lot of money from the cost of bidding for Leeds Castle by charging the entrance fee for treasure hunting, which seems to be a good deal!

Wu Qian's words made the heirs of the three major families almost blow up, their purpose was to make Wu Qian's chickens and dogs restless, and at the same time they themselves sent people to fish in troubled waters, but if it was really as Wu Qian said, it would be overcrowded every day, how to start.

"Wu, if you do this, it won't do you any good. "Rapo Elkando, Wu Qian said it very easily, in fact, the things in the process are very difficult to say, and in general, he can't please him, and both sides lose.

Wu Qian shook his head with a smile and said, "I care a lot about Master da Vinci's paintings, but do you think you care more, or do I care more?

Hooligan play, Wu Qian thought very clearly, his own power is not as strong as the three of them, but he still has a certain advantage. If he wants to fish in troubled waters, then he will stir up this pool of water even more turbid, so turbid that he can't see when he opens his eyes. In this case, although your own disadvantage is still there, the opponent's advantage is gone.

"I won't be without benefits, so that you don't get benefits, it's my benefits!" Wu Qiandao didn't give in at all, is there any need to make concessions? Even if the news leaks, it is not impossible that he would have found Leonardo da Vinci's oil painting before the thieves arrived.

The scene was very stale, as if a barrel was squeezed with a high concentration of gunpowder, and it was about to explode at one point.

"Haha. Rapo Elkan smiled, breaking the frozen atmosphere, and he said, "Wu, my dear Wu, handsome young man of the Celestial Empire. I've bothered you today, and I'm very glad to know you, and if I have the chance, I must go to the Apennine Peninsula to sit down, and I'm welcome.

If you find anything, please contact me, and be considerate of me, I am very fond of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings. Art knows no borders. When the time comes, if you are willing to sell, I will take it. If you don't want to sell it, it's good to let me see more. That's all for today, goodbye. ”

With that, Rapo Elkan was the first to walk out of the castle restaurant with his men. He didn't plan to stay any longer, there was no point in continuing the negotiations to this extent, and it would be a joke to continue.
