Li Yi this time, a total of 10 pieces of collection, except for the special wooden box with a top of the cup, the remaining 9 pieces, should be Zhang Xu's "Stomach Pain Sticker" The most precious, if it is more true, just this calligraphy may be worth more than half of the value of the "Scream". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it is fortunate that this calligraphy is not only not signed, but also because of the seal, it is likely to be regarded as a copy, so that on the surface, these collections should be the most precious in the stele of the "Virgin Post", in fact, Li Yi estimated it at a sky-high price of 20 million euros when he first appraised it.

In addition to these few pieces, the rest, whether it is He Chaozong's white porcelain Guanyin, or Lu Zigang's Kui Feng pattern jade, or the ivory carving character story bottle, although they are all the best in their respective fields, but because of their categories, their prices will not be particularly outrageous. In particular, the cardigan pottery dance figurines are a model of absolute high value and low price, so Li Yi estimates that even if they are wider, the price of these things should definitely not exceed 45 million euros.

45 million euros, if converted to dollars, should be about 60 million. John. Kaw's offer for The Scream was $168 million, a price that, even if it would have been reduced by the painting's damage, was inherently elastic at its 45 million euros, which meant that it should leave a shortfall of about $100 million in the end.

Because of the existence of the treasure hidden in the wooden box on the top of the dome, Li Yi will definitely not take the risk of dreaming too much at night, that is to say, there are only two choices in front of him now, take these 10 pieces of the collection first, and then leave them to John. Karui for a while, waiting to harvest a hundred million dollars. Or take a gamble and use the $100 million to take the "Statue of David" with you.

It stands to reason that it is definitely a very good deal to be able to buy Donatello's groundbreaking masterpiece known as the "father of Renaissance sculpture" for 100 million US dollars, but the risk of this transaction is not here, but in the determination of the authenticity of the work.

There is an idiom in Huaxia called "Crowd of Mouths of Gold", accumulating and destroying bones, describing people's speech as powerful enough to melt metal. Now, if this idiom is applied to the authenticity of "The Statue of David", it should not be considered too much.

Because almost everyone thinks that the "Statue of David" in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Florence is the real work of Donatello, then, if you want to prove that this is the real thing, not to mention Li Yi, a Chinese person, even if it is also from Europe, a senior appraiser, carving master, or historian, it is a very difficult thing to do.

There are many ways to prove the authenticity of a collection, but almost every one of these methods has a lot of flaws, and there are a lot of speculative and subjective factors in it, if there is not much controversy, there will naturally be no problem, but in the case of "The Statue of David", these methods are simply untenable.

Of course, if a clear and irrefutable inheritance record can be produced, the case can be easily overturned, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the inheritance will most likely become a weapon for the museum to suppress this "Statue of David".

Immediately, Li Yi remembered a suspicion again, that is, John. Karui's pricing for this "Statue of David".

As an imitation, until it is clear which master imitated it, no matter how high the level of the imitation is, its value cannot be high. But he offered $120 million for this "Statue of David", so there is no meaning that this is the real thing.

However, with his current financial resources and power, there is no way to prove that the Bargello National Museum of Fine Arts is a fake, so how can he dare to bet that this is an obvious loophole that can be taken advantage of?

"Oh Maiga, John. Mr. Karui, you should rest a little longer, you don't need to worry about things here, I have enough patience to wait for you to recover......"

Li Yi was analyzing and comparing the pros and cons of various conditions, when the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Karui walked in with a young girl dressed in a nurse's outfit.

"It's okay, just had a massage and it's much better now. Hey? Are these your picks? Before, I was worried that few things would be able to enter your eyes, but now it seems that my vision is quite good. ”

Li Yi smiled speechlessly, it's not just good! If he can split the wooden box, just Zhan Ziqian's epoch-making authentic work, it is estimated that he will be able to exchange this "Scream" from his hand, not to mention, there are other collections that make people blush just by looking at them.

"Is that all? Mr. Li Yi, although this result has exceeded my expectations, but I still hope that you can choose a few more pieces, because you may not know that I am actually a guy who likes money very much, and collecting these things is just a vassal elegance......"

You can see it, John. Karui was in a very good mood, he joked while taking the statistical record in Aemond's hand, and after reading it carefully, he handed it to Li Yi,

"I think there shouldn't be much deviation from Aemond's offer, but what will happen in the end still needs your approval, Mr. Li Yi......"

Li Yi smiled, stretched out his hand to take the offer, looked down, and then frowned.

The valuation of "The Scream", Aemond did not use the excuse of partial damage to lower the price, as he estimated, and it was still John. The price offered by Carew is $168 million.

Belongs to John. The overall price of Karui's collection, although on the high side, is not much from his estimate, especially "Bellyache Patch", which is not even $100,000, which is completely an imitation of little value.

Moreover, Lu Zigang's phoenix pattern jade was only quoted at 200,000 US dollars, according to the quality of the jade itself, even if it is not Lu Zigang's work, the price is obviously a bit low.

It's just that none of this is critical, and the most important thing is that Aemond has set a sky-high price of $50 million for the "Matthew of the Virgin" tablet!

"Linyou Phoenix Dance Jade Seal, $3 million, Golden Cloud Dragon Pattern Vermilion Lacquer Dome Box, $1.5 Million, Tang Changsha Kiln Leo Throne Poetry Pillow, $5.2 Million ......"

After reading all the prices carefully, Li Yi shook his head, picked up the signature pen, crossed out the price of $50 million of the "Virgin's Post", thought for a while, wrote down the price of $23 million next to it, and roughly added it, and returned the quotation to John. Karui.

"If the price of this piece can be reduced to this level, I won't discuss the rest one by one......

"Oh Maiga, dear Lee, this price is impossible......" (To be continued.) )
