Chapter 1189: The Secret in Oil Painting
With the ability of the Dragon War Intelligence Organization, Fang You is well aware of some of the big moves of Christie's auction house.
Although it has not reached the level where he can know any information, Fang You is already satisfied, after all, he established an intelligence organization, not to fight against a certain country, but to be able to get the information he wants at any time, as for the strict information of those political axe agencies, he doesn't need it at all.
Perhaps with the continuous development of the Dragon War Intelligence Organization, these things will be done.
Now, except for the Longlin Foundation, which is a charity and does not have any profits, all the companies under his umbrella are constantly making money.
Needless to say, diamond mines and jade mines are the most profitable things, and Longyou Auction House, Weimei Jewelry, the Dragon Group of the Small Island Country, the Dragon Shadow Tomb Robbery Group, the Longwen Museum, and the Dragon War Organization are all always making money in order to make money.
For some of its employees, Dong Qilin is not stingy, which also makes the company they control a company that most people want to join.
Fang You felt that after the matter of the French beast head was completed, it was time to integrate all these companies together.
The Dragon Shadow Tomb Raiders and the Dragon War Organization are classified as secrets and excluded, while the other companies are combined to become a large multinational group, and they are also a multinational group that may never be listed.
Fang You is also very lamented by his achievements over the years, and unconsciously, his industries have become numerous, and the profitability of each one is the envy of some people in the business world.
Maybe everyone in each company is just a little surprised, but if Fang You integrates all the companies, then the newly established group will shock the world.
While waiting for Christie's auction, Fang You was not idle, there were very few French tombs, which he couldn't do, but he would not let go of the French cultural relics that were scattered among the people.
However, the representative products of Western culture are not as splendid and colorful as China, and there are many kinds of Chinese cultural relics, each of which can represent a culture.
Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade each, can represent the rich and splendid culture of China, which is also the reason for the large number of Chinese cultural relics, even after the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, even after the three-light policy of the small island country, but the number of antiques left in China is still huge.
The reason why many foreign museums can become famous museums is that a large part of them is the Chinese cultural relics supporting the scene, if there is no Chinese culture, then, those museums will no longer be able to come up with any good things.
The types of Western cultural relics are far inferior to those of China, and you can see them in the Louvre Museum.
Some famous cultural relics are nothing more than oil paintings and statues, and there are no more, but the types of Chinese cultural relics are extremely rich.
There are only a few types of Western artifacts, including jewelry, sculptures, paintings, clocks, furniture, and armor and swords forged from the ancient Cold Weapon era.
In addition to sculptures and oil paintings, there are very few other cultures that can be contained, and Fang You has been around Paris through the art of retreat these days, but he has only found some cultural relics of little value.
In addition to oil paintings, several other cultural relics can not be Taobao at all, or the value is not large, jewelry, which is naturally not as good as the Taobao leakage of Chinese jade, the development of Chinese jade dynasties, some jade carving techniques are not recorded at all, so, this has led to some jade, can not be determined, so as to be able to Taobao from it.
The sculptures, even more not, are very large, even if there is a leak, they can't be picked up.
Clocks, furniture, etc., are no longer of much value, far less expensive than Chinese mahogany furniture.
However, Fang You did not give up, and still walked around Paris every day, looking forward to discovering some precious Western cultural relics, at least not coming to France in vain, just to earn a little travel expenses, which is not what Fang You wants.
Although these things he discovered were of little value in his eyes, they were also discovered by chance after they were discovered, and many times they were when they traveled around Paris with Wang Lao and others.
These things of little value, in the eyes of these old men, can be regarded as valuable cultural relics, although some oil painters are not as famous as some famous painters, but they have also left their names in history.
At the same time, they are also very impressed, they are really knowledgeable, they can Taobao everywhere they can pick up leaks, gradually, they are also used to Fang You's Taobao leaks in France, and every time they are waiting for Fang You to find what kind of cultural relics.
Fang You smiled, although these things are not of much value, they can also be accepted, after all, it is too difficult to get the works of famous oil painters, and doing so can also make Wang Lao and others have a habit of picking up leaks on his Taobao, so that even if he goes out to Taobao to pick up leaks alone, he doesn't need to explain too much.
One night, when Fang You continued to wander around the unexplored city of Paris, he suddenly found an extremely rich orange-red aura surging from above, which made him a little amazed, looking at this area, it was not a museum or something, why there were so many rich orange-red aura.
Orange already represents the Ming Dynasty of China, which can be said to be more than 500 years ago, and there are so many spiritual energy in it, and it can be said that the cultural relics that gushed out the spiritual energy are absolutely extraordinary.
Fang You escaped to the ground and took a look, but the place where the aura gushed out was an oil painting gallery, and a lot of aura was free from a framed oil painting, and the patches of orange-red aura were very dazzling in the dark oil painting gallery.
He looked at this piece of orange-red aura, carefully probed, and found that this large area of more than ten strands of orange-red aura was free from the oil painting, and the aura that appeared in the oil painting itself was just a thin red, and it seemed that it was only more than 100 years ago.
Is there something precious hidden in this oil painting, if it can be hidden, then what is hidden must be something like oil painting, and there are more than ten hidden pictures, which is hard to believe.
The frame oil painting is made of wood, the surface of the oil painting is made of paper materials, and the paper is also made of wood pulp.
Fang You felt a little excited in his heart, he had been in Paris for more than ten days, including visiting tombs, etc., but it was the first time he found such a strong aura surging, which was definitely a rare cultural relic.
This oil painting is also a very famous oil painting replica, it is Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, but I don't know if the painting inside has anything to do with Leonardo da Vinci, after all, now the real Mona Lisa of Leonardo da Vinci is stored in the Louvre, and it is impossible to come here.
At that time, when he was watching in the Louvre, Fang You had already used the art of escape to investigate, that one was genuine, maybe there were paintings by other painters stored in it, or maybe it was not an oil painting, it would be something else, what it was, and only by opening this oil painting could we know.
After thinking about it, Fang You injected a little gray air flow into this oil painting to ensure that he could know its location at any time, and after that, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and fled to other places.
With his escape technique, he can naturally take this oil painting to the land unconsciously, and then decompose it, but the general cultural relics are just that, this incomparably precious cultural relics, or need someone to witness it as well, and wait until tomorrow, he will come here with Wang Lao and others to take a walk around, buy this oil painting back, and after that, you can naturally get the things inside.
For a long time, Fang You didn't have the fun of picking up leaks on Taobao, most of the items, with a look at the escape technique, he could almost know what dynasty and when, and after the knowledge in his mind, he would soon be able to know.
The most recent one, there are only Liangqin and Chengying Sword, which brought him a huge surprise, before Chengying Sword was obtained, he only vaguely saw the aura model inside, and he didn't know what kind of sword it was, Liangqin, even more so, if he hadn't found that the inscriptions on the qin were only in the Ming and Qing dynasties, he wouldn't have thought that there would be something hidden inside.
Even if he thought about it later, when he opened it, it was another piano, and it was also one of the four famous pianos in China, which could be said at that time, which made his heart full of surprises.
And now, his own art can't know what is hidden in this oil painting, and his heart is suddenly full of anticipation and surprise, imagining what kind of precious cultural relics will appear in this oil painting.
After walking around Paris and not finding anything valuable, Fang You fled directly back to the hotel, then sat down**, circulated the gray airflow, lay down**, and fell asleep gently.
Maybe a few years ago, when he encountered such a thing, he would be surprised that he couldn't sleep all night, but now, Fang You's state of mind is no longer comparable to what he used to be, some things can no longer affect his peaceful state of mind, and some are only temporary emotional expressions.
The next day, Fang You, along with Wang Lao and others, were still communicating with the people of the Louvre, but with Fang You's performance, Chinese culture set off a heat wave in France, making these Louvre experts, in the exchange, no longer dare to have the slightest contempt for Chinese culture, what the Chinese side wants to exchange, the Louvre side unconditionally agrees.
I just want to build a good relationship now, and when I borrow the Chengying Sword from Fang You in the future, it will be easier, otherwise, it is estimated that they will not be able to study the Chengying Sword in their lives, and it will become a regret for their lives.
For the mountains and rivers that Fang You played live before, they still have a shock in their hearts now, whenever they listen to the CD they gave away, their hearts will still tremble, they just want to listen to the live version again, I'm afraid it's very difficult, when they listen to the scene, they feel that their whole body seems to have become very relaxed, and the whole is very comfortable.
And when they listen to the CD, they just feel their nerves relax, and they don't have the bizarre feeling of being in the scene at all.
This also made them respect Fang You very much, even more than other experts in Huaxia.
After the exchange, Fang You invited Wang Lao and others to continue shopping in the city of Paris, Wang Lao and they naturally would not refuse, finally came to France, how can it not reflect the local humanities, just the exchange can not fully understand the culture of a country, just enter the city, the people to take a walk, take a look, in order to understand more comprehensively and carefully.
As in China, there are always some shops selling local handicrafts on the streets of Paris, and with the leadership of Fang You, Wang Lao and others saw an oil painting shop and couldn't help but enter with some interest.
All of them are reproductions of various famous paintings, and in addition to the age, the author, the others are very similar to the real thing.
Moreover, the reproductions of this oil painting shop are not like other low-level shops, but are printed with printers, which seem to be painted by some painters through their own brushes, little by little, which looks very vivid and vivid, not as rigid as those printed.
Fang You smiled slightly, looking at the oil paintings in this shop with interest, no matter how upgraded his escape technique was, what he saw at night was not as clear as it was during the day.
The whole decoration of this oil painting shop is very quaint, full of strong Western atmosphere, this oil painting shop, there are many famous painting reproductions, and not just one, like the Mona Lisa he found yesterday, in this shop, there are several hangings, and the framing is very exquisite.
It's just that they watched for so long, but no one came to greet them, which made Wang Lao and the others very strange.
"Boss, are all the paintings in your store artificially drawn?" Wang Lao suddenly asked with some curiosity through the translation to the store.
As soon as the translator's words fell, a middle-aged uncle with long hair and rough trim stood up from behind the table on the side, and when he saw Wang Lao and the others, he immediately smiled, "Yes, gentlemen, some of these oil paintings are painted by myself, and some are painted by other painters, and they are guaranteed to be painted by hand." ”
Fang You, Wang Lao and the others looked at the appearance of this middle-aged uncle, and immediately smiled, this is simply the common appearance of Western artists, a decadent look, which looks extremely literary and artistic.
"Elder Wang, why don't we all buy one as a souvenir, I'll treat you." Seeing that Wang Lao and the others were so interested, Fang You couldn't help but say with a smile.
"Haha, Fang Xiaoyou is really a local tyrant, since this is the case, we are welcome, come on, one person picks one, it is a souvenir given to everyone by Fang Xiaoyou, by the way, boss, how much is your oil painting." Hearing Fang You's words, Elder Wang said unceremoniously.
The middle-aged uncle walked out slowly, "Gentlemen, the prices of these paintings are different, some are expensive, some are cheap, but for the sake of being Chinese, I will basically give you a nine-percent discount on the price." ”
"Oh, boss, I don't know why I discounted the Huaxia people." Wang Lao suddenly asked curiously, in some countries, but it is very unfriendly to the Chinese people, in France, although it cannot be regarded as unfriendly, but it has not reached the point of discounting when you see the Chinese people.
The middle-aged uncle smiled, and then didn't speak, took out the portable player he was carrying, pressed the button, and suddenly the melody of the piano belonging to the mountains and rivers of Fangyou slowly sounded from inside.
After a while, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "It is because of the magical music of Huaxia that I can quickly devote myself to painting when I paint, and it inspires me a lot of inspiration to make my paintings more perfect, I am very grateful to the Chinese people who play this song, it is because of the Chinese culture that my oil paintings are better, so the Chinese people come to me to buy things, they will be discounted, in order to thank the Chinese culture for bringing me benefits." ”
"Oh, then we also have to thank this Chinese man who played the tune." Wang Lao and the others suddenly smiled, looked at Fang You, and blinked vigorously.
Fang You shook his head helplessly, it was just a piano song, but he didn't expect that there were many magical effects, which was really surprising.
"Okay, Huaxia friends, you can pick whatever you want, I will try to give you a very good price." The middle-aged uncle said with a very friendly smile.
"Okay, let's pick whatever you want, don't be polite to Fang Xiaoyou." Wang Lao suddenly laughed and said, and then walked towards one of Picasso's oil paintings.
Fang You shook his head and smiled, walked roughly around, and finally stopped in front of the oil picture that was free of orange and red aura, and then pointed to the painting and said to the middle-aged uncle: "Boss, help me wrap this painting." ”
"Oh, sir, this painting is a bit old, it was painted by a French folk painter more than a hundred years ago, and the wooden frame used to frame it is also a hundred years old, so this painting is very expensive." The middle-aged uncle looked at the paintings selected by Fang You, and suddenly said with a solemn face.
Fang You smiled, he was naturally able to judge through the aura of the oil painting that this was a painting more than a hundred years ago, maybe more than a hundred years ago, this painter put Dong ** into it, but he didn't expect that after more than a hundred years, it was still so well preserved, "Boss, I like this painting very much, how much does it cost." ”
"Sir, in that case, you can take 30,000 euros, this painting was consigned here by my friend, and 30,000 euros is his lowest price, so I will not add it upwards." The middle-aged uncle thought for a while, and then said.
30,000 euros, equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan, if it was made by a famous painter a hundred years ago, its price is probably dozens of times more expensive, but for folk painters, it is almost this price.
"Well, it's 30,000 euros, you should collect a check here." Fang You nodded, and said with a smile, this middle-aged uncle is also a fan of his, not to mention that the price is already very fair, and there is no point in continuing it.
"Sir, the check is fine, I'll wrap it up for you." The middle-aged uncle smiled, then picked up the wrapping paper, took off the painting for Fang You, and then put it all up.
"Fang Xiaoyou's eyesight is really good, he can see at a glance that this is an antique, haha, let's sigh to ourselves, let's pick a random one." Hearing the words of the middle-aged uncle, Wang Lao suddenly smiled, and then selected a famous oil painting by Picasso, but the creation age is not as long as Fang You, and the price is only 2,000 euros.
