Time flies, and not long after hanging up Arnott's phone, a pleasant doorbell rings in the hallway, and when I open the door, I see that Mondrian has arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mr. Li Yi, this is the work of Xu Wei that I am talking about......"

Before he entered the door, the panting big fat man handed over a painting tube, Li Yi smiled and let him into the room, pulled out the scroll, and slowly opened it.

"My life experience is like a boat on the sea, and I don't comb my hair after closing the door for many months. The butterflies of the east fence come and go, and look at the yellow flowers for an autumn. Tianchi ......"

The work that Mondrian took is a "Bamboo Chrysanthemum Picture", with a poem inscribed in the upper right corner, and the inscription is the word Tianchi, followed by Xu Wei and Wen Chang's two seals, which is indeed the authentic work of Xu Wei.

It's just that after reading the work, Li Yi slowly shook his head, although Xu Wei's works are worth hundreds of millions of masterpieces, but this one is not among them. The value of this painting is at most between 50 and 60 million soft girl coins, and there is still a considerable distance from his Picasso work worth 20 million US dollars.

"Mr. Mondrian, since you own such a work, I think you must also know the corresponding market conditions, and do you think that the value of your work can exceed 10 million dollars?"

Hearing Li Yi's question, Mondrian's little eyes quickly turned twice, and the fat on his face quickly piled up into a smile that looked a little terrifying,

"Mr. Li Yi, I think you should know that it is sometimes not a 100% safe way to get a favorite work from an auction, especially a painting and calligraphy work like this one from hundreds of years ago. But I dare to guarantee that my painting is 100% the authentic work of Xu Wei. ”

Li Yi smiled and shook his head, it is true that it is genuine, but the authenticity does not mean that it will be worth 20 million.

"Mr. Mondrian, I have another Picasso work here, and I think it would be a reasonable suggestion to exchange this one with you."

Li Yi turned on the computer, pulled up the work that he estimated to be worth nearly $10 million, and silently pushed it to Mondrian.

"This ......"

Mondrian frowned, looked at the photos on his computer, and groaned. Li Yi sat quietly on the side, admiring the "Bamboo Chrysanthemum" while drawing with his fingers, as if he had been immersed in the unrestrained and natural artistic conception of the painting.

"Mr. Li Yi......"

In a moment, Mondrian's voice and the doorbell rang almost at the same time, and before Li Yi could react much, the fat elephant, who had already seen the appearance of a person from the cat's eyes, opened the door directly, and it was Arnault who arrived.

"Oh Lee, you always surprise me enough...... Hey? Mondrian? Are you helping Lee identify his work? ”

The door opened, and Arnott was surprised to find that there were other guests here, and he knew this guest.

"Mr. Arnott, it's a pleasure to meet you here......"

Mondrian's smile was full of bitterness, and he thought that Arnault had also come for these two Picasso works. With this guy intervening, not to mention that his "Bamboo Chrysanthemum" was a bit insufficient, even if it was enough, the final result was probably not optimistic.

"Hehe, let me see which one you're studying...... Oh buy ga, is this Picasso's signature? ”

Smiling and greeting Mondrian, Arnault naturally pushed the guy aside, then bent down to look at the computer, and immediately noticed the almost illegible signature in the lower left corner of the Picasso work.

"Yes, it's Picasso's work, and I'm going to exchange it for this Bamboo Chrysanthemum."

"Oh? Swap? So what is this one? ”

Arnault saw that there was an open oil painting next to him, walked over to take a look, and couldn't help but shout,

"Oh, Lee! You're just going too far, why are you using that ruby to seduce me when you have so many good works? No, these two paintings must be left for me......"

Mondrian was anxious when he heard this, and when he saw Arnott, he was worried that something would go wrong, and sure enough, before he could say a word, this guy decisively wanted to snatch love, how could this be?

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient...... Striprian, Li has just told me that he plans to exchange the painting on his computer for your "Bamboo Chrysanthemum", and of course I will not make it difficult for him. However, if you don't agree to the exchange, then isn't it my turn to go out? ”

"Who says I don't agree to the exchange? Am I not watching? Besides, the actual painting is not here......"

"Immediately, in about two hours, the painting will be delivered."

Li Yi gestured a gesture, fortunately, these paintings did not let Gu Feng send them back to China, but let Hongchen send them to Bordeaux, otherwise, there would be a toss now.

"Okay, as long as I see the real thing and make sure it's the real thing, I'll change this one!"

Mondrian was going to bargain with Li Yi, but the appearance of Arnault made him have to quickly change his mind, anyway, it is a good thing to be able to exchange for a work of similar value, but the circulation is obviously much better, isn't it?

After getting Li Yi's promise, and seeing that the two obviously had something to discuss, Mondrian didn't want to be a light bulb here, and after Li Yi called him when the appointment arrived, Arnault was left in the room.

"Now, Mr. Li Yi, can you tell me why you want to contact the top brass of the Holy See? You know, even I'm not going to bother them without a good reason. ”

Seeing Mondrian leaving, Arnault's expression became serious, with his net worth, if he wants to collect, naturally there will be no shortage of Picasso's works, just now he just helped Li Yi a small favor.

Of course, Li Yi couldn't tell him the real reason, but if the transaction was successful, he would definitely not be able to hide it from this guy, so he had to smile bitterly:

"Of course there are important things, but, Arnott, I really can't tell you in advance, so ......"

"Well, yes, I can try to make an appointment with Leonardo, the cardinal I talked about, but you really don't have to donate that Raphael's work."

He groaned for a moment, then continued:

"I can get $60 million for that work, and if you're willing to exchange it for Chinese relics, I can give out $70 million or more!"

Li Yi rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, if possible, of course he was not willing to donate a work worth tens of millions of dollars to the Holy See, and he was not a believer in Christ. But the problem now is that once it comes to the Holy Plate, others will immediately understand, and if he can't reach an agreement with the Holy See at the first time, the risks that come with it are likely to be beyond his reach.

The reason why he wanted to donate was to openly bribe a high-ranking member of the Holy See in this way, so that this high-ranking person could help him promote and even facilitate this matter as soon as possible, but this reason could not be told to Arnott.

"Forget it, let me think about it again, and I'll contact you when I'm done."

Li Yi thought about the matter again, and felt that even if he saw Leonardo, it might not be safe, so he simply interrupted the conversation, took out the "Madonna of the Goldfinch" for Arnault to admire, and sent him out of the hotel.

"Fat elephant, if someone privately offers a high price for a thing, and it happens to be in my hands, you say, how can I trade with that person to be safer? Or, how can I be sure that the bounty will actually be redeemed? ”

Back at the hotel, Li Yi threw this question to the fat elephant, and listening to what he said, maybe it would be enlightening.

"Brother Yi, this is very simple, now that the network is so developed, you can directly leave a message on the Internet anonymously, you have already got the bounty item, so that if you have a need, you will naturally take the initiative to contact you. Or, you take the initiative to contact the guy who is offering the bounty, negotiate the terms and make a deal. ”

"Uh......"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then slapped himself hard, for so many days, he had drilled into the tip of the horns, but he didn't expect that there would be such a simple solution! Fortunately, he has always been suspicious of his plan, otherwise it would have been a waste of $60 million just like Arnault said!

As soon as the idea is opened, the next thing is simple, the Holy See has its own website, through which he can contact the person he wants to find, and because the information is communicated with the staff of the other party through open channels, therefore, once the other party responds, then, even if he wants to rely on it, he can't rely on it!

As for the strength of the shelter he is worried about, this is even simpler, as long as he can get a relationship, he can maintain this relationship by spending a little money and energy, at that time, he is afraid that no one will help him speak?

It's just that, in order to avoid the other party from finding clues according to the IP address, you have to find a computer master to help with this matter, but this is also very simple, it really doesn't work, you can solve it by running an Internet café!

"Fat elephant, do you have any computer experts among your comrades?"

"Yes, Linghu's computer is good, even if it can't reach the level of a professional hacker, it won't be difficult for him."

The fat elephant's answer made Li Yi even more speechless, Linghu had been following him for at least a few months, and he didn't know about such an important matter!

But this is just right, using the domestic IP to contact the Holy See, even if it is tracked down by some guys with ulterior motives and not very friendly, there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention, Linghu, this guy, is still in Jingdezhen to help him investigate the information of those porcelain masters!

Dialing Linghu's phone, after the two communicated for a while, Li Yi sent the photo of the holy plate over, and now, there is only one thing left on Luo Guofu's side, and he can return to China after handling it properly!

As soon as he thought of Rogov, Li Yi immediately remembered that the painting had been changed back and he had not been informed of this matter, so he hurriedly made another phone call, listening to the chatter and complaints of this guy in the earpiece, Li Yi smiled, this trip to Europe is really complete and could not be more complete!
