PS: Today's first more monthly pass, please support a lot, thank you.

Sure enough, hearing Fang Mingsheng's relay, Mr. Hill naturally did not get angry, but realized that he had neglected the heroes who helped him solve his big troubles.

To be honest, without Wang Guan's help, Mr. Hill would definitely be in trouble. Or maybe one day, all of a sudden, I remembered to change the password. Either find a professional, dig a long tunnel near the castle, carefully remove the explosives near the treasure house, and then enter it to tear down the treasure house door from the inside.

The first method is not accurate, or Mr. Hill is nimble and remembers it at once, and perhaps he will never remember it for the rest of his life. Memory is the most difficult thing for humans to grasp, and it is full of uncertain letters. So, Mr. Hill sees that there has been no progress in cracking the Treasury code for a year, and he is already considering the implementation of the second method.

Just as he was about to start implementing it, Wang Guan appeared and opened the door without much effort. So in Mr. Hill's view, this should be the gospel that God heard his prayers and gave it to himself......

Of course, even if it is the gospel of God, the reward must be given. For a moment, Mr. Hill smiled and spoke in a harmonious voice.

"A million pounds, plus one thing, you name it."

At this time, Fang Mingsheng translated with a smile: "Even Picasso's famous paintings are not a problem." ”

Picasso's famous paintings are now often more than tens of millions of dollars. is also a master, Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi's works are also tens of millions, but that is the currency of the country.

However, from an artistic point of view, whether it is Picasso, Zhang Daqian, or Qi Baishi, there is no distinction between high and low. Back then, Zhang Daqian once visited Picasso to exchange views on Eastern and Western paintings. Picasso also said it himself. There is a very powerful Qi Baishi in China, which he admires very much.

In other words, the master's painting skills have reached the realm of perfection, and everyone has their own ability, which is not easy to compare together. But in terms of economic value, it is definitely Picasso's paintings that are more valuable.

The reason for this is nothing more than that the economies of European and American countries are more affluent and developed, and they identify with Western culture and appreciate oil painting more. Therefore, Picasso's masterpieces are naturally of high value. If one day China's economy can be on par with European and American countries, then the prices of Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi's works will definitely be comparable to Picasso's.

To put it bluntly, the price gap of artworks is a direct reflection of the country's comprehensive national strength. Come to think of it, a few decades ago, Qi Baishi's works could only be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, but now they are worth tens of millions, which fully illustrates the progress of China's economic power.

We're there. The feeling is certainly not very big, but foreign countries who specialize in this naturally know that China's economy is developing by leaps and bounds. In just a few decades, they have already completed their accumulation of hundreds of years. I must have been very frightened in my heart, so I kept uniting to suppress it.

In fact, there are many enemies, which is also a good thing. As we all know, what are the countries in this world that are not hostile? I guess it's some tribes in Africa. Not only was he not hostile, but on the contrary, he also expressed his love through the condolences of others.

Word. It is a country that does not pose any threat to itself that is loved by everyone and helps and supports it from time to time in order to establish a so-called international image. A few decades ago, China was the object of support from others, and a few decades later, China in turn supported others and established its own international image, which is the rise.

It's far away, let's get down to business.

At this moment, at the signal of Mr. Hill, Wang Guan began to hesitate, and his eyes swept over the treasure house, looking hesitant, indecided, and picky.

Others also fully understand this. There are so many treasures in the treasure trove, you want everything, and it is inevitable that there will be some difficult choices. Many people are like this, and when faced with a choice, it is always easy to be undecided.

However, Wang Guan is different, he already has a goal before choosing. The current embarrassment and hesitation are just pretending to be seen by others, so after hesitating for a moment, he directly said that he was not in a hurry, he would take a look first, and wait until he finished visiting the treasure house to make a decision.

Hearing this, the others nodded in understanding. That's how to pick things, you have to plan and then act, and now I've only seen the treasure trove, and I don't have a global concept, so I must understand it clearly before I start. Speaking of which, this is also a relatively common method in the mall, and Mr. Hill naturally does not care, but warmly beckons everyone to continue watching and sightseeing.

Walking through the porcelain area, you will be greeted by some antique tableware. Gold cups, silver plates, lampstands inlaid with precious stones, etc., sparkle in the light, blooming with a luxurious light that will dazzle the eyes.

In ancient European countries, they did not know how to make fine porcelain, so they could only make some simple pottery. In order to show their privileges, the upper nobles had to make utensils out of gold, silver, or pearls and gemstones, so as to distinguish them from the commoners.

After a long period of development, the craft of making gold and silver utensils in Europe gradually flourished.

However, according to Mr. Hill, the gold and silver utensils in the treasury were generally from the 17th century onwards. The reason for this is nothing more than that before the seventeenth century, due to wars, in order to maintain their rule, the nobles did not melt down gold and silver objects and pay the salaries of their subordinates.

In addition, it is also necessary to admit that gold and silverware are relatively obsolete, and new fashions emerge in each period. In order to keep pace with the times, it is natural to rework antique gold and silverware to form a new fashion. Otherwise, everyone uses brand-new utensils, but you still keep the old antiques, which is very shameless.

Of course, the most important thing is metal utensils, and the surface will definitely be dull after a long time. It is different from the direction of the Oriental people who emphasize tranquility and tranquility and Baoguang introverted. In the eyes of Westerners, color is the element that constitutes the essence of porcelain aesthetics, and they pay great attention to the embodiment of delicate and luxurious artistic quality, pay attention to external expression, and often win with publicity and beauty.

The dragons of the West, in legend, love shiny treasures the most. In fact, this is a common hobby of Westerners, so when gold and silver utensils are dull, they must have chosen to melt things down and recast them, so it is difficult for everyone to see the existence of ancient Western gold and silver artifacts now. It's not that there isn't, it's very rare.

Most of the things that have survived are artifacts from the 18th and 9th centuries. There are displays, there are also daily necessities, everything is carefully crafted, with the most advanced technology, the most fashionable art style to design and manufacture.

It is said that there were many famous artists at that time, who were engaged in the design and production of silverware in the early days, which naturally made gold and silver objects a luxurious work of art beyond their own material value. Even now, Wang Guan and others look at these things with a modern eye, and they feel that these treasures are in line with the aesthetic taste of the times, and there is no sense of being outdated.

This is also normal, many modern designers, when they are not inspired, prefer to imitate things from the eighteenth and ninth centuries, and then under the guise of retro style, they can often be beautiful.

The reason for this is nothing more than that most of the objects of that period were the masterpieces of the masters, even if time has passed, they are still the most spiritual, the most genius design, the most in line with the most primitive aesthetics of human beings, how can it be outdated?

For example, now, admiring these exquisite gold and silver objects, everyone is full of praise and sincere admiration. One of the most precious things is a crown. According to Mr. Hill, it is a relic of the King of France.

On closer inspection, the crown is extravagant and has a classical design with many pearls and gemstones. No matter which angle you look at, you can see the brilliant light as if it were starlight in the night sky. Exquisite, gorgeous, extravagant, this is everyone's impression.

At this time, Fang Mingsheng whispered: "This thing is good, you can consider it." ”

"Well, write it down first, and we'll talk about it later." Wang Guan nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled: "However, I'm afraid that if I pick this thing, Mr. Hill may turn his face." ”

"Don't really say it, maybe it's a possibility." Fang Mingsheng thought about it and agreed a little.

When Chinese do things, they prefer to leave a line and do not like to do things absolutely. Businessmen, in particular, pay attention to a harmonious way to make money. Otherwise, if you make people unhappy, they will naturally make you unhappy, and the business will not be done.

"Then don't pick the most expensive one." Fang Mingsheng thought for a while and suggested, "Just pick a better one, and you like it." If you can't do it, just pick a Picasso work and go back. ”

"Look at ...... again," Wang Guan said casually, and continued to watch casually.

At this time, everyone also walked through the area of gold and silver utensils and came to a world of glass. Strictly speaking, glassware and gold and silver are representatives of European arts and crafts. Glass appeared very early in Europe, as early as the Roman period, there were glass-making centers in Europe, but it took several twists and turns to gradually develop and grow.

Speaking of which, there is also glass in China, but it may be because there are too many good things in China, everyone is more enthusiastic about firing porcelain, and does not pay enough attention to glass, so the manufacturing technology of glass has not been improved. However, in Europe, they failed to master the oriental porcelain firing technology, but carried forward the glass manufacturing.

After hundreds of years of development, from the simplest glass beads, to the most practical glass mirrors, as well as the glass artworks carefully made by master craftsmen, it can be described as colorful and full of different charm.

Don't think that the glass is rotten now, so it's definitely not worth it. When glass is glass, it must have no value, but once it rises to become a work of art, it is the object of everyone's pursuit.

Anyway, there is a glass collage in the treasure house, which is said to have been made by a famous Italian artist, and Mr. Anderson saw it and immediately showed a strong intention to buy it, but unfortunately Mr. Hill rejected it.

In an instant, Mr. Anderson immediately turned around and said, "Wang, you pick this thing and sell it to me again......" (To be continued......
