Chapter 577 [Maritime Fair]

It was praised by Dong Qichang as "the first chapter in ancient and modern times, and its words are all born with reflections, big or small, whatever you want, all into the law" of the world's first Lan Pavilion preface?

Zhou Yi glared at Tang Bao, doubting whether the news of the eldest young master was accurate, this treasure in the calligraphy world made Tang Taizong Li Shimin salivate back then, and sent the supervisor Shi Xiaoyi to deceive the descendants of the Wang family, and buried this post in Zhaoling after his death.

The reason why Zhaoling has not been excavated for a long time is because he is worried that once the mausoleum is opened, the air will pour in, and what pottery Tang Sancai is okay, and the Lanting Sequence will inevitably be weathered into ashes, which is the most scruple of the archaeological community.

Could it be that the tomb robbers are not afraid of ghosts blowing out lanterns, and their skills are higher than those of the national archaeological experts, so they stole the Lanting Preface and resold it abroad? Zhou Yi shook his head, do tomb robbers with this kind of ability still use tomb robbers? Or can they directly enjoy state subsidies, or is the legend inaccurate, this Lanting Preface did not enter the Zhaoling Tomb at all? Why did it appear in the underground market of antiques in France?

"What do you think, third brother, this Lanting preface is not Wang Xizhi's true work, if it is a real work, then it must not shock the world?"

"It can't be the Tang facsimile from the Palace Museum, right?"

Zhou Yi politely used the word 'outflow' to describe it, the Palace Museum has either lost or destroyed things over the years, and it is not impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be stolen and taken overseas; France is a place that advocates culture and art, and Chinese calligraphy and paintings have been highly valued in recent years, but it is the best place to sell stolen goods.

"It's not the one from the Palace Museum, it's the one copied by Chu Suiliang, this Lanting preface has always been mysterious, it is said that it was included in the tomb of Qianlong, and was damaged by Sun Dianying's rebels, but it appeared in the French antique underground trading market. ”

Tang Bao said with a smile: "The old man scolds me all day long for not seeking progress, this time my buddy will find the lost overseas national treasure, see that he still scolds me for not scolding? Just let the buddies watch the insects, but there is no score to read the text and play calligraphy and painting, the brother knows that the third brother is actually a big expert, and I am afraid that I have to ask you for this matter. ”

"I said you're a glutton, and you don't need to come to France to drink my wine, do you? ”

Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "When will the French underground trade fair open, it shouldn't be today, right?"

"According to the information I have received, this underground trade fair is held in the high seas of the Mediterranean, and the organizer of the underground trade fair should be a temporary merchant who borrowed a gambling boat from a casino in Europe as a trading venue, it should be the last few days, and my people are still investigating at the specific time."

"Still investigating?"

Zhou Yi shook his head again and again. Otherwise, how can I say that the second ancestor, the people I am looking for are not reliable, when is this still not sure when the underground trade fair will start?

"Third brother, you don't know, this is not our territory, brother, I can find out this step, it is not easy. Tang Bao smiled bitterly: "Wait another day or two, maybe there will be news, buddy has spent a lot of money." ”

"You might as well give me the money, it's a waste. What if you look into it? Covert deals like this. There is no special invitation, you can get on that gambling boat? Okay, brother can help you, I'll call first. ”

"Is it done?"

After Tang Bao got the preliminary information. However, he hired the most powerful detective agency in Paris, but he still did not get accurate information, and he was suspicious of Zhou Yi.

"Hey, it's Monsieur Bonaparte. I'm Zhou Yi from Huaxia. Dialing a phone number, Zhou Yi said lightly.

"Huaxia, it's Zhou! I'm glad to get your call, you're back in France, and you have to come to the casino when you have time, and he mentioned you the last time I spoke to David on the phone. ”

William Bonaparte showed great enthusiasm, he had a heartfelt tremor when he thought of this Huaxia Zhou's miraculous performance at the gambling table and his thunderous methods against Henry, with his years of experience in the Black X Party, a character like Zhou Yi who can 'turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain' at any time can only be friends, not enemies.

What's more, although Zhou Yi took away billions of francs from the Ongian Ray casino, he finally 'returned' the casino to him, and William Bonaparte, although he was a notoriously ruthless character, was also a person with clear grievances, and he still wrote down Zhou Yi's favor.

"Hehe, Monsieur Bonaparte, you're welcome, I just wanted to ask you for a message. ”

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Recently, there has been a French speculator holding an antique calligraphy and painting fair on the high seas of the Mediterranean, has Mr. Bonaparte heard of it? As far as I know, this speculator should have borrowed a gambling boat, and Mr. Bonaparte is also a leading figure in the European gambling world, so he should have received the news, right?"

The Ongian Ray Casino is very famous in France, but it is at most a second-rate casino in Europe, and Zhou Yi just asks casually, it would be best if he had news.

"Oh, Zhou, you're asking about this? What, Zhou, are you interested in this transaction?"

William Bonaparte groaned slightly, but decided to answer Zhou Yi positively: "Zhou, if it is not very necessary, I advise you not to go, I heard the news that the Swedish royal family, the British high aristocracy, some world-famous collectors, and even the Arabian oil king will participate in this fair, and it is said that they are all determined to obtain one of the Chinese calligraphy works." Zhou: I know that you are very powerful, but even if your assets are several times more, you may not be able to compete with the Arab oil king and those old aristocrats, right? Those are the real invisible rich, and the assets far exceed those of Bill Geif, the nominal richest man in the world."

"Third brother, okay, you, there's a door!"

Tang Bao had been listening to Zhou Yi's mobile phone, stretching out his thumb with joy on his face, and whispering: "Invitation, invitation"

"No matter how strong the competitors are, I also want to take a look, after all, it is about our national treasure in China. ”

Zhou Yi smiled: "I need the exact time for the start of the trade fair, and two invitations, can Mr. Bonaparte help me with this?"

"Invitation? I'm afraid this is a little difficult, although the identity of the chairman of the Zhou Group is barely enough, but because it is a new enterprise, your strength is not enough to convince the organizers of this trade fair, as for your friend, can you let me know his identity?"

William Bonaparte said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the organizer of this fair borrowed a gambling boat this time and had some relationship with the gambling world, I wouldn't have been able to get the news, and even if I did, I wouldn't be eligible to get the invitation." Of course, if your friend is a nobleman with status, it's different. ”

He really wanted to help Zhou Yi with this, but he also knew that the organizer of the trade fair was not an ordinary person, and the other party held an underground trade fair on the high seas of the Mediterranean Sea this time to facilitate most of the collectors and aristocrats from Europe.

So help is help, if Zhou Yi's friend status is not enough, or he has some kind of malice, he can only say that he can't help. asked Zhou Yi like this in order to find out the bottom of it, so as to decide whether to sell it to Zhou Yi.

"Aristocrat?" Zhou Yi glanced at Tang Bao, this product can barely be regarded as a nobleman in Huaxia, but when he saw Tang Bao, he shook his head again and again, knowing that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he smiled and said: "It's a friend in business, and his assets are also quite strong, so I'm afraid it will take time to issue a certificate, I wonder if Mr. Bonaparte has any other way?"

Tang Bao has not been bastard to the extent of transferring assets under his name abroad, if a domestic financial institution issues an asset certificate, even if it can solve the problem of identity exposure, it may not be in time for it to be in time; not to mention that the asset certificate from Huaxia may not be recognized by the organizer of the trade fair, after all, Huaxia's control of finance has a strong government color, and it is not as free as Western countries.

"There is a way, but it is more troublesome. ”

William Bonaparte laughed: "Then you need the vouch of a big man, and El Raffarin, president of the French Gambling Association, may be happy to vouch for you." ”

"El Raffarin?" Zhou Yi frowned slightly, the French gambling industry has a close relationship with the Black X Party, basically wearing a pair of pants, this Raffarin is obviously not clean, and he doesn't know him, how can he be very 'willing'?

"Yes, Mr. Raffarin. Mr. Raffarin was very curious about your magical performance on Ongian, especially the way you 'helped' us to get the casino back and save your French brother-in-law with thunder, which was greatly appreciated by Mr. Raffarin, who always wanted to see you, and if you would take the time to meet Monsieur Raffarin, I believe that everything would not be a problem. ”

William Bonaparte bewitched Zhou Yi vigorously: "Mr. Raffarin has a great friendship with the organizer of this fair, and the other party's borrowing of the gambling boat was facilitated by him, if he is the guarantee for you, not only will there be no problem with the ship, but you can even auction it at a premium, because Mr. Raffarin's guarantee is creditworthiness." ”

Covering the phone for the time being, Zhou Yi turned his head and glanced at Tang Bao: "You have heard it, this Raffarin is probably the big leader of the Black X Party, but if we want to get on the boat, we must get his guarantee." ”

"Promise him, isn't it just a Black X Party, what are we guys afraid of?" Tang Bao sneered, people like Raffarin should be used, as for the underground organization of the Black X Party, it is this kind of person that we are most afraid of in the past few generations, even in France.

"As you wish. ”

Zhou Yi nodded, in fact, even if Tang Bao retreated, he might not give up this Lan Ting preface copied by Chu Suiliang, since it is a treasure of China, how can a foreigner get it? This is a truth that even children understand.

"Well, Monsieur Bonaparte, please arrange as soon as possible, that I may meet with Monsieur Raffarin. (To be continued......)
