Chapter 667 1700 Oil Paintings
The father of the old German man Connelles Gurlitt took advantage of the turmoil to make a fortune in the war. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the end of World War II, he was approached by some of his cunning and robbers, wanting to recover the oil paintings that had been sold to him that year.
Among them was Paul Rosenberg, a German-Jewish businessman who had been the exclusive agent for works by the famous painters Matisse and Picasso, and the gallery had a large collection of their works for sale.
Later, when Paul Rosenberg fled Germany, the entire collection was confiscated by the German government, and part of it fell into the hands of the old Nazi Nierman, and then he gave it to Gurlit's father to let the old Gurlitt help sell it.
After the war, the elder Gurlitt lied that all his paintings had been burned by the war, and people were suspicious, and when they came to the place he said, they did find many of the burned remains of the paintings and frames.
But they were just blank frames, or worthless paintings, and the real thing had been hidden by him.
The Gurlitt family has worked hard for two generations to keep these more than 1,700 paintings for more than half a century, and now they are all in the hands of Han Xuan, which makes him almost laugh.
The things here are definitely more than the 100 million dollars that old Nierman said, in Han Xuan's opinion, at least more than 200 million!
In another decade or two, counting the devaluation of the world currency caused by inflation, it will definitely be worth more than a billion dollars!
If you can send it to auction in an open and honest way, the wealth you can get will be even higher.
It is a pity that some of these valuable paintings are not visible, such as those of Picasso, and many of the descendants he left behind have never given up recovering these batches of oil paintings lost by his "father".
At least for decades, it has to be hidden, whether it can be sold, you need to wait until you check whether it is lost and registered, at that time there were countless lost oil paintings, one by one verification is a massive project.
But now, Han Xuan has no idea of selling them, the painters who created these paintings are dead, and the value of the works will only get higher and higher, and it is better to keep them as fixed assets.
When the time is right, I will release some of the ownerless oil paintings and fill them into the collection of the Emirates Museum, compared with other museums, there are still too few things there, and you can walk around in about half an hour......
Connelles Gurrit had thought about escaping before, so he had already packed some of his paintings.
To speed things up, George and Gabriel, who were in charge of moving the fourth-floor paintings into the elevator, did not stop until they were overweight.
Owen and Gargunon were in charge of the first floor, moving them out of the elevator into the Mercedes van.
The frame of the unimportant oil painting was removed, so it did not occupy a large volume, and it was large enough to fit.
He was busy until nearly half past five in the morning, when Han Xuan loaded a set of European antique silverware into the car, and it was all finished, and he was all tired and half dead.
Gurlitt had long since woken up, wrapped in a quilt, unable to move his hands and feet, and blindfolded, and could only roll on the ground like a worm.
scolded in German, shouting that his house was not far from the police station, and those who were interested in it quickly released him, so that Han Xuan, the mastermind behind the scenes, could spend a lifetime of wealth.
Han Xuan only regarded this sentence as a joke......
The two guys who attacked Jason were stripped to only a pair of underwear, and they were bruised and purple, which shows how angry Jason is and vents his anger on them.
The eyes of those two people were also blindfolded, Han Xuanneng was sure that he was not seen by others, and when he went out, safety was the most important thing.
Although I felt that these two guys were a little pitiful, but when I thought of what they had just done, I suddenly didn't sympathize at all, and the person who can kill people for money will not be a good person.
Throwing all three of them into the villa, Gabriel also intimately helped them turn on the heating, mainly because he was afraid that these people would freeze to death.
Jason couldn't see anything unusual except for his pale face, so he went to the kitchen and took a knife and threw it on the ground, and when they took off their blindfolds, they would naturally be able to escape, and then his group should go away.
While there were still few pedestrians on the road, the van driven by Gabriel and George headed south, and they would find a way to find a place nearby, hide the things first, and then get out of Germany.
In fact, private jets are the most convenient way, but unfortunately there are too many things in this batch, which are easy to attract attention, Han Xuan plans to see what happens next.
Lazy Germans, who only start work at nine o'clock, work only about 30 hours a week, but are paid high salaries.
In winter, I go to work even later, so there are no people on the road, and it is empty, and it takes a few hundred meters to see a resident who has come out for a walk.
Han Xuan's wish to eat breakfast was disappointed, and there was a McDonald's on the street, but unfortunately it also opened at nine o'clock.
Arriving at the back door of the Four Seasons Hotel, Jason walked in first, lifted his clothes to show the doorman, and excused himself to find some anti-inflammatory medicine.
Frightened by the blood-soaked gauze wrapped around Jason's waist, the other party immediately led him to the hotel's infirmary, and the others took the opportunity to sneak into the hotel and return to their rooms from the stairs without cameras.
Owen and Gargernon, with backpacks on their backs, looked tired and on the verge of death.
They each carried two gold bricks in their bags, each weighing 60 kilograms, and the rest of the money and two pieces of gold were still in the car, and they really couldn't lift them.
When he came to Han Xuan's room, Gargunon put his bag away, sat down cross-legged against the wall, and said, "The rest of the gold nuggets and Qian Du Ersil went to get them, what should I do with these things?"
When you go through security, if you are caught carrying so much gold, it is difficult to explain the source, although it is very unlikely that they will check you. ”
"You can figure it out for yourselves, the gold and money are your reward, and I will give you two million dollars as long as I want the antiques and paintings.
It's a good idea to open an account with a bank and temporarily deposit your gold in the insurance office of a German bank, and I think gold will rise in value in the future, so it's better not to sell it.
If you want to make an investment, then sell, I can give you some good recommendations, such as Starbucks.
Sanchez stayed in New York to do my errands, and you keep a copy of his.
I'm going to get some sleep now and thank me when I get up. ”
Han Xuan stretched, this was the method he had thought of before.
A total of 180 kilograms of gold, plus about five million marks.
Today, the price of gold is $386 an ounce, about 28 grams an ounce, 180 kilograms is more than $2.5 million, and five million marks are worth more than $1 million.
Counting the other $2 million, everyone can get a share of about $700,000, you have to understand that they only spent one night, and even the most greedy people should be satisfied...... (To be continued.) )
