Chapter 1158: China's Treasure
The number of tourists in Milan has increased significantly these days. )
There are also some wealthy people who have arrived by private jet, and this big auction has attracted a lot of wealthy people, and it is estimated that they will be able to create and discover a historical record.
Every big auction, the trading volume and transaction volume are amazing, Li Yang's auction company has many auctions of more than 100 million yuan, but compared with here, it is nothing.
Their transaction volume is also the eye of the world's leading auction companies.
It's a pity that other auction companies can't achieve the same kind of big auction, let alone hold it only once every three years.
Dean Huang and Li Yang went back to the room to rest after their retirement, he still has to adjust the jet lag, he will not leave for the time being this time, and he will also follow to join this big auction.
Li Yang stayed in the hotel all morning, but his name appeared frequently on the Internet, TV and newspapers.
This news conference in China was like a big earthquake, which not only shocked people in the calligraphy and painting collecting industry, but also people from all walks of life were also shocked by this incident.
The president of the country also personally telegraphed the experts at the Louvre, asking them to confirm the authenticity of the painting.
In addition, the country also organized an expert group to go to China to see the painting with their own eyes.
In the past, after the king invited Leonardo da Vinci to come over, the people regarded Leonardo da Vinci as their own and their pride.
People from other countries are not far behind, and many people have begun to book air tickets, and for a time, many flights to China are overcrowded.
That's the impact of journalism, and it's going to be even bigger.
"Brother Li, Mr. Hoss is here!"
In the afternoon, Li Yang was reading a book in the study, and Liu Yan just walked in directly.
The discovery of this painting made Li Yang realize that his knowledge was actually not abundant, and now he has time to study in the city and strive to make the most of himself.
"Ask them to wait a while, I'll get out right away!"
There was no surprise to Hoss about his visit, Li Yang didn't come, he felt abnormal, but he came earlier than Li Yang expected.
"He didn't come alone, and he had a bass Italian!"
Liu Yu just said again, in fact, Huo Si was not the first person to come to Li Yang, someone had already come before, but unfortunately he didn't see Li Yang at all.
It's not a familiar person, Li Yangyan doesn't see them at all, and he doesn't have this time.
"Bass?"
Li Yang frowned, there are many people who call bass, but Italy is called bass, the most famous is the famous architect, Li Yang has also heard of this name.
This is a top master in the industry, and Li Yang almost guessed the identity of this bass.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
As soon as Li Yang came out, the two people sitting in the living room stood up, and the first person to greet Li Yang was the bass.
"Hello Mr. Bass, I've admired your name for a long time, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Li Yang smiled politely, no matter what their intentions were, Bess is also a really talented senior, and it is not easy to win the Pritzker Prize when he is young.
The Pritzker Prize, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in the field of architecture, is the highest and most difficult award.
"Mr. Li, you are too polite to know what Mr. Hoss has given you, how did you think about it?"
Bess smiled and sat down again, and immediately asked again.
These foreigners were really direct, and they entered the topic without even saying a polite word, and Liu Yugang was slightly stunned.
This is also one of the strategies set by the bass, in addition to wanting to take back the painting from Li Yang's hands, they also want to continue to test whether Li Yang can be pulled into the organization.
If Li Yang can enter the organization, it will definitely be the best result for them.
"I'm sorry, this decision is too important, and I'm still young, I've only been in the industry for a short time, I want to think about it for a while!"
Li Yang shook his head lightly and said very tactfully, but his words also made it clear that he was not very old now, and he had his own capital to impact upward, but he actually didn't want to join their organization.
"That's a shame!"
Bess looked sorry, Mr. Hoss was not surprised, this was his expected result, if Li Yang was willing to join, he would have promised him when he first arrived in Milan.
"Look at this list!"
Bess took out another piece of paper from his body, and there were many tools densely listed on the paper, at least twenty or thirty pieces, and at the top of the list was the daily creation in the hands of the Joseph brothers.
The others are all very famous treasures, including a bronze head of the zodiac that was taken captive in the Ming Garden.
"What are you?" Li Yan raised his head in surprise.
"Mr. Li, you already know our identity, Master Da Vinci is like the ancestor of the country in our hearts, his Last Supper is very important to us, and I hope you can become a jade!"
Bess slowly, he didn't hide his identity, he didn't beat around the bush, and directly understood his intention.
"Mr. Bess, I'm sorry. This painting has a lot of meaning to me! ”
Li Yang shook his head slowly, these tools are more and better than the tools that Ri Yanben wanted to exchange for Tiancong Yunchuang last time, Li Yang is not impressed, it is definitely a fake.
However, this painting of the Last Supper really has a great incentive effect on the Chinese people, since this painting has fallen into their own hands and into the Chinese country, they must not let it be lost.
What's more, Li Yang has just promised Dean Huang that he will keep this painting forever.
"I understand you very well, and you also know that this painting means more to us, so leave the list here for now, and then you can think about it, okay?"
Bess had a little disappointment on his face, but it wasn't serious, exchanging these tools with Li Yang was one of the things they discussed, and he didn't have the confidence to succeed in the first place.
These tools are good, but none of them can reach the level of the top Arcana, and they are indeed not the same as the Last Supper.
"You'd better take the list, right?"
Li Yang shook his head slightly, this list is not enough to tempt him, since he decided not to make a move, it is better to refuse completely.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I'm sorry for today, but I hope you can change your mind the next time we meet!"
Bess sighed, in fact, his arrival today was just a test to test Li Yu's attitude, and the result was what they didn't want, Li Yang valued this painting very much, and he didn't want to take it out at all.
However, after this temptation, Besgar was even more determined to auction the lot at the big auction.
Bess and Hoth left, coming very suddenly and leaving quickly, which surprised Li Yang.
Looking at their appearance, it is inevitable to get this painting, but I didn't expect to leave after just asking, Li Yang thought that they would grind both soft and hard for a while.
Compared with Ri Jian himself and the Koreans, Bess and their expressions are definitely enough gentlemen.
The Imperial Palace.
The emperor sat on his knees, holding a newspaper in his hand, his face full of hideousness, and Aoki Weiyang was right in front of him.
During this time, Aoki Weiyang's life was not good, and the recovery of Tiancong Yunchuang was blocked again and again, which made the emperor very dissatisfied, and his position in front of the emperor had plummeted, if he was not useful, I am afraid that he would have to suffer severe rewards and punishments.
"Li Yang, it's him again!"
The emperor suddenly tore up the newspaper and destroyed it, and the first page of the newspaper was a report on Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper oil painting, which mentioned Li Yang, and also specifically mentioned that the Tiancong Yunchuang in the emperor's artifact of the Japanese book was in his hands.
This made the emperor even more angry.
"How's it going, have you been contacted over there?"
The emperor suddenly asked, and Aoki Weiyang, who was kneeling, hurriedly raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the contact is good, but they did not agree, and they warned us!" ”
"Warning, what do you mean?" The Emperor was slightly stunned and shouted angrily again.
"They, Li Yang is an important guest of the big auction, and their guests are not allowed to be hurt during the big auction, but after the big auction is over, it doesn't matter!"
Seeing that the emperor's face was getting more and more ugly, Aoki Weiyang hurriedly quickened his speech.
He was in contact with the Italian mafia, and Emperor Hitomoto's patience had reached the limit, and he didn't care about Li Yang's threat, and decided to use some poor means.
Contact the Italian mafia, whether it is kidnapping or intimidation, you have to get Tiancong Yunchuang back.
However, they are not allowed to come forward, this is related to the diplomacy of the two countries, and even the emperor cannot afford to go wrong, so they want to entrust it to the Italian mafia and let them do it, but unfortunately the mafia people did not promise them at all.
The mafia, who are also supporters of the Great Auction, from which they can get a lot of benefits, so every important guest they take care of in the city.
Li Yang has long been a world celebrity, and this time he brought a lot of money, and he is definitely one of the key customers.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry yet, although the mafia people did not allow us to move Li Yang during the big auction, they told us good news, very important news!"
Aoki Weiyang said again, he came to see the emperor, in fact, he came to report this matter, but he didn't expect to meet the emperor just reading the newspaper and seeing Li Yang's news, but he hit the mold.
"What important news!"
The corners of the emperor's eyebrows were still tightly condensed, but he still asked.
"Among the oriental antiques in this auction, there will be a very important treasure of the Chinese country, if we win this treasure, we should have the opportunity to exchange it for the divine creation!"
"What is the treasure of the Middle Kingdom?"
The emperor's face softened a little, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and this level had finally passed.
He uttered a name out loud, and when he heard it, the emperor's face softened again, and he nodded silently.
This treasure is definitely not as good as Tiancong Yunchuang in his eyes, but it is indeed a treasure in the Middle Kingdom
