The Baron Philip, who received Li Yi and them, should be called Philip III to be precise, is the grandson of Baron Philip, who created the brand of Fort Mouton back then, with a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, but he is just in his early fifties this year, which is the age of his prime.

When he comes to a wine estate, especially a top winery, if he doesn't use wine to receive guests, he will be considered by the other party to look down on him.

Therefore, as soon as he came up, Duke Philip presented the red wine that had woken up a long time ago, but fortunately, Li Yi had just made up for it, and Lu Ningshuang rushed to show him everywhere, so he could deal with it decently.

After a brief greeting, Baron Philip beckoned casually, and the butler, who had been standing behind him, turned around and took out two thick lists of exchange items from the cabinet behind him, and put them in front of Li Yi and Ma Dashen respectively.

"I informed them before that you were coming, so it should be the same, let's see it first, and we'll talk later if you have any questions."

Li Yi nodded, and took the lead in opening the list of well-made products in front of him.

The first two pages of the directory are the table of contents, but they are all in French, and Li Yi does not know a word.

But he's not stupid, he counts. After a brief comparison of the letters of each catalog, he determined that there should be at least 42 treasures recorded in this catalog!

"The quantity is enough, but if the quality can't keep up, it's not a big deal...... But looking at the other party's attitude, since Ken made a special list for this exchange, presumably things shouldn't be too bad. ”

Li Yi pondered as he flipped through the table of contents. Turned to the first page of the text.

Immediately after, he saw the delicate pattern in the middle of the coated paper, which was ......

He blinked. Immediately after, he rubbed his eyes again. Immediately, his brows tightened.

Because, this first collection used for exchange greatly exceeded his expectations, this is actually a top Chinese treasure that will never be worth in the Bronze Age of Maillol from any point of view, the bronze elephant of the Shang Dynasty!

In Li Yi's memory, there are only two bronze elephants from the Shang Dynasty in existence. The first one, of course, was unearthed in Nanhu Province in 195 and is now in the collection of the Nanhu Provincial Museum.

The bronze elephant was small and delicate. The image is vivid and realistic, the body is covered with complicated patterns, and its craftsmanship level can be called shocking.

Unfortunately, not only was the elephant's right ear missing, but the lid was also missing when it was found.

The other, in France, is only a four-hour drive at most, the bronze elephant now in the Musée Guimet in Paris.

Judging from the data, the shape of the elephant is about three times that of the domestic one, but it is far less exquisite than the domestic one in terms of craftsmanship and body decoration.

And this elephant in front of Li Yi's eyes. Its size is similar to the domestic one, but whether it is the shape or decoration, it is not slightly worse than it. Judging from the picture information, its exquisite Cheng dù seems to be even better, especially its integrity, which is even better, because this piece is absolutely undamaged!

This elephant is from the trunk to the feet and even the tail. They are all covered with intricate ornaments, and the elephant's body is even more cloudy and thunderous. It is full of dragons, tigers, phoenixes and other animal figures, and its lines are clear. The shape is exquisite, rare in the world!

"I remember that in the book "Shang and Zhou Yi Ware General Examination", a total of three bronze elephants were recorded, but all of them have been lost abroad, but I didn't expect to see one here."

Ma Dashen sighed faintly while caressing the picture of the bronze elephant statue lovingly.

Li Yi nodded, that book, he had also read it, the author was a famous archaeologist in China, and Rong Geng, who had reached the level of a grandmaster in bronze identification, but in his opinion, this one did not seem to be one of the three elephants described in his book.

However, there is no need to mention this here, because if the exchange can be successful, take the things back, and have time to study them slowly.

After carefully appreciating the photos taken from all angles for a while, Li Yi judged that this should be a genuine product.

Then, slowly, he turned the pages of the bronze elephant.

The second piece, which was also much to his surprise, was actually a blue glazed white dragon plum bottle with a whole royal blue blue body and a white dragon with teeth and claws!

"Hiss......"

When he saw the text introduction at the bottom of the picture clearly, Li Yi heard an almost inaudible hissing sound from the mouth of Ma Dashen next to him, this piece was actually a Yuan Dynasty blue glazed white dragon plum bottle!

The survival of Ji blue glazed porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty is very rare, and according to records, only 12 pieces have been found in the world!

At present, half of the 12 pieces of Yuanji blue glazed porcelain are in China, and the most famous one is the "treasure of the town hall" in the Zhouyang Museum, which has a height of meters and a white dragon plum vase with a shape and a height of meters.

Even with that one, there are only 3 pieces of Yuanji blue glazed white dragon plum vase in existence, and coincidentally, one of them is also in the Guimet Museum in France!

These three plum vases, the one in the Zhou Yang Museum is the most well-preserved, and the shape of the vessel is also the largest, at present, experts estimate that its value has exceeded 1 billion soft sister coins!

And this one is the fourth piece that has never appeared in the world, and the height of the vessel has reached meters, second only to the one in Zhou Yang!

After reading this, Li Yi and Ma Dashen glanced at each other, and they both saw the resoluteness in each other's eyes, not to mention that there are 40 pieces behind this, even if there are only these two pieces, as long as they can be determined to be genuine, then they must be resolutely replaced! Change without hesitation!

However, when they saw the third collection, they couldn't help but look at each other again in surprise, this time, they were so lucky to be able to find this Baron Philip!

Because this third collection is also a rare treasure, the "Preface to the Collection of Imperial Books of Huizong" written by Zhao Gou of Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty!

In the history of Chinese calligraphy, the famous father and son calligraphers, there are three pairs, namely Wang Xizhi Wang Xian's father and son, Ouyang Xun Ouyang Tong father and son, Mi Fu Mi Youren father and son. In fact, in a sense, Song Huizong and Song Gaozong, a father and son, are also fully qualified to be among them.

These two guys, who are not qualified to be emperors but are more than enough calligraphers, have always been indispensable and important figures in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

Zhao Ji of Song Huizong created his own "thin gold body", and his flower and bird paintings became his own "courtyard body", which is a rare artistic genius and all-rounder.

Its ninth son Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, its calligraphy is Mi Fu, learn the Tang people, since the Wei, Jin and even the six dynasties penmanship, all copy, his calligraphy achievements even led the Southern Song Dynasty throughout a dynasty of calligraphy trend!

And this "Preface to the Collection of Huizong's Imperial Books" is one of his masterpieces!

Seeing this, Li Yi understood that he was afraid that Ma Dashen understood the wrong party's meaning. The other party took out this list, not to say that he wanted to exchange all the collections on this list for his Bronze Age, but should just give them a range of choices, so that they can freely choose the collections they are willing to exchange!

Because, whether in terms of price or historical and cultural value, these three pieces, except for the last piece of Zhao Gou's calligraphy, are slightly inferior, and the other two pieces will definitely not be under the Bronze Age!

Moreover, Li Yi definitely has reason to believe that in the eyes of the vast majority of Chinese people, even Zhao Gou's "Preface to the Collection of Imperial Books of Huizong" is far more valuable than that Bronze Age!

The most important thing is that these three things, no matter how much he imagines them, will not think that their owners will put them at auction in exchange for a lot of money, and the only way to have them is to barter, and only barter!

Li Yi pondered and continued to look down, fortunately, there was no top-level collection like the first three, which made him so excited that he even had the idea of making a cameo appearance as a cultural relics thief.

But this is not to say that the things behind are not good, on the contrary, if these things are listed separately, not compared with the first three, they are also all treasures, according to the current standard of Chinese cultural relics classification, almost can easily squeeze into the list of first-class cultural relics!

What to do?

Ma Dashen glanced at Li Yi, who was also frowning, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Mr. Philip, how would you like to exchange?"

Now that he has taken out these top-level treasures, Philip has already been aware of the possible reactions of the two, so when he heard Ma Dashen's question, he replied without hesitation:

"The first three, one for one, the back 39, five for one, you can choose whatever you want."

After a pause, a smile appeared on his face,

"After the selection, I will arrange for you to see the real thing, if it is okay, I can confirm it, and then I will wait for you to bring the Bronze Age to me."

And sure enough, it was!

Ma Dashen covered his face with his hands and rubbed it vigorously, this choice is really not an ordinary difficult choice, even if he is not the owner...... Damn, why not two more Bronze Age, why isn't the owner him?

For a while, for this young man who was sitting beside him, also frowning and thinking hard, he spontaneously developed a deep sense of envy and jealousy!

"You can pick and choose slowly, and it just so happens that I still have something to deal with...... Well, I'll come back in an hour, you think......"

Philip left with the butler, and only Ma Dashen and the translator he brought and Li Yi were left in the reception room, Lu Ningshuang hesitated, leaned over to Li Yi, and asked in a low voice:

"These things seem to be very precious, how many of them do we have?"

Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head,

"There's only one thing we can trade for, but I want every single one of them."

"Huh? That...... You can pay for it! ”

Li Yi picked up the directory, flipped through it casually, and said with a wry smile:

"The 39 pieces in the back, the cheapest one should also be more than 5 million, especially the first two, if you really want to sell, I estimate that 500 million per piece should only be the reserve price......"
