Choosing to go to Moscow in December is definitely not a great experience, because Moscow is not only cold but also often rains during this season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But fortunately, there was Luogov, Li Yi and his entourage got into a heated business car before they left the airport, and then drove all the way directly into the indoor parking lot of Luogov's villa.

The treasures exchanged in Paris were all escorted back to China by Hongchen, and along with these things, there were also those collections that Li Yi had stored in Bordeaux before, and he had already made up his mind to play a big game if he wanted to.

Traveling to Moscow with him was the "Moonlit Night". Although he did not decide whether to trade it for the quadrangle, a trade with Pavel Mamayev was undoubtedly the best option. It is difficult to find a person who is willing to pay such a high price for an oil painting except for such a madman.

On Rogov's side, he also notified the fat elephant and asked him to send Cézanne's still life from China as soon as possible.

As for the value of this work, which is not enough for him to bring back all of Rogov's collection, he didn't think too much, now he doesn't have many resources in his hands, if it is not enough, then just pay cash, anyway, there are still 300 million dollars waiting for him there!

Rogov's villas have a distinctly modernist Russian architectural style, simple, tall, serious, tough but lacking in warmth.

But this warmth is not the other warmth, Rogov's villa is not only equipped with heating, but also has a huge fireplace, the indoor temperature is like Yanjing at the turn of spring and summer, it is not just a matter of warmth, but so hot that people can't keep their clothes at all.

"This ancient building was built when my grandfather was still alive, there are no other characteristics, it is big, not only the rooms are big, the doors, windows and even the stairs are twice as big as the modern villas, no way, this is the style at that time."

Rogov gave a brief introduction to the 80-year-old villa, and his tone was full of pride.

"What do you drink? Got some vodka? Absolutely authentic I promise! ”

"Vodka? That thing that's said to be higher than alcohol? God, I can't drink it. ”

Li Yi didn't care, what kind of water was there, let alone vodka, even if he really let him drink alcohol, it would be fine, but Tan Moxuan couldn't stand it and simply refused.

Luo Guofu didn't care, poured a glass for himself and Li Yi, and then cut to the chase.

"Boss, I'm a businessman, and the ultimate purpose of all the goods I deal in is to make money, so I don't mind if you directly pay to move these Chinese cultural relics to your museum. However, if you could trade something I'm interested in, I'd be more than willing to do it, and even prefer it, because it's a gamble! I love to gamble, and all Russians love to gamble. ”

Li Yi knew that this guy thought he would never be able to get out good things again, but he didn't need to explain in a hurry, and he would understand everything when the fat elephant arrived.

"Well, regardless of the trading method, my main concern right now is, where are your things and when will I be able to see them."

"Haha, dear boss, you are really a cheerful person! They are in this villa and you can see them at any time if you wish. ”

"Really? Then let's not waste our time......"

Li Yi swallowed most of the remaining glass of liquor into his stomach in one gulp, and then stood up as soon as he put the empty glass down.

Rogov didn't expect Li Yi to be in such a hurry, scratched his scalp, muttered a word of Russian, drank the wine in the cup, and then took Li Yi and them to the basement.

"All my treasures are stored here, this is the collection of the Rogov family for several generations, you can take your time, if you have any questions, call me at any time."

"No problem......"

Li Yi dealt with it casually, his eyes were attracted by the few pieces of porcelain on the left-hand shelf, the white porcelain carved flower plate of the Ding kiln, the lotus leaf mouth bottle carved by the celadon of the Ru kiln, the sky blue glazed bowl of the Jun kiln, and the plum branch pattern of the paper-cut applique of the Jizhou kiln...... It's all a baby with a wide open door!

After two days of tossing at Luogov's house without leaving home, Li Yi selected a total of 328 treasures, of which porcelain accounted for more than half, reaching 212 pieces.

In addition to the precious porcelain in Taiwan's walled house, the quality of these porcelains is the highest Li Yi has ever seen, including 49 pieces of ancient porcelain from the Song Dynasty alone, and two pieces of Yuan blue and white, 12 pieces of ancient porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, and just these, the combined value is more than 80 million euros!

"Rogov, you have also finished appraising that still life work, now, it's time for us to talk about the transaction, you can make an offer."

"Okay boss, in addition to that still life, I think, you should pay me another 42 million euros, yes, that's right, 42 million euros."

Li Yi frowned, in addition to the 63 pieces of rare porcelain, the other 265 pieces of cultural relics were estimated at 42 million euros by him and Tan Moxuan. In other words, the value of this batch of antiques should be around 130 million euros.

The experts invited by Rogov estimated Renoir's still life painting at only 70 million to 75 million euros, and even according to the highest 75 million yuan, Li Yi still had to pay him another 55 million euros.

And now that Rogov only asked him for 42 million euros, there is certainly a discrepancy between the two sides on the value of that batch of cultural relics, that is, Li Yi is likely to have missed it again. But it must also be said that Rogov definitely made quite a huge concession on the price.

Li Yi glanced at Tan Moxuan, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he nodded,

"No problem, you can help me pack everything. By the way, there is one more thing to trouble you, can you contact the richest man Pavel Mamayev? ”

"Pavel? What are you looking for him? He doesn't have any of your Huaxia stuff on his hands. ”

"Hehe, even if you contact you, you will know what is going on when you contact you."

"Okay, I'll try, but you have to tell me what to do with him, or his assistant won't pass on my request."

Li Yi hesitated, the reason why he didn't let Luo Guofu contact him as soon as he came was because he was afraid that if he found out, it would affect the transaction between the two of them. Now that the transaction has been completed, it should be no problem, right?

"In that case, then you tell him that I have news of "Moonlit Night"."

"Oh Maiga, "Moonlit Night"? Kramskoy's "Moonlit Night"? Oh my God! Boss, can you tell you where you got the news from? ”

"Hehe, you don't care about this for now, help me contact me first."

"No problem! If he had been in Moscow, I think, he would have come to you at the first opportunity. ”

Rogov muttered softly as he found a number from his address book. After dialing a few questions, I dialed out another number, and then anxiously waited for the phone to connect.

"I don't have Pavel's contact information here, but my friend has his assistant's phone number...... Hey, hello ......."

When Rogov was still explaining to Li Yi, the phone was connected, and the two sides exchanged a few words in Russian, and Rogov hung up the phone with an excited face.

"He said he would contact Pavel at once, and he would come back to me after confirming it, thanks to you, I had never been close to him! By the way, boss, can you tell me now......"

"If I'm not mistaken, I think the painting should be in my possession."

"Poof!"

Rogov sprayed at that time, and almost threw away the phone.

"You mean, that "Moonlit Night", that Pavel is looking for, that "Moonlit Night" painted by Kramskoy, is in your hands?"

Seeing Li Yi nodding indifferently, Luo Guofu covered his face with his hands and let out a low wail that was not like a human voice. This Nima is also too shocking, Picasso, Cézanne, Renoir, and now there is a Kramskoy, your sister, it's clear that Lao Tzu is a European, okay?

While he was struggling, the phone suddenly rang, and Luo Guofu picked it up and shouted a few words excitedly, and then smirked at Li Yi:

This time it was Pavel who called personally, and he said that he would see you in an hour...... Oh Maiga, I still can't accept that this is the truth......"

Contrary to Li Yi's imagination, Pavel Mamayev was a dry and thin little old man, and his face full of orange peels looked almost seventy or eighty, but his spirit was still very strong, and there was no problem with his actions.

Pavel was followed by a dozen or so people, and a total of three cars were driven. There are assistants, bodyguards, appraisers and even a personal doctor, as if the stars were holding the moon.

"Where's the painting?"

Pavel's voice was low and hoarse, and the expression on his face was serious.

Li Yi tilted his head slightly, and Gu Feng took out the "Moonlit Night" from the suitcase that he had already dragged out.

"That's right, it's this, I remember seeing it when I was very young, but then there was a war, and everything was messed up, I didn't expect that I would be able to see it again after so many years......"

To everyone's surprise, without waiting for the appraiser to come into battle, Pavel recognized the painting at a glance. The old gentleman gently stroked the picture with trembling hands, and the skin on his excited face kept trembling, and it took a while to reverse.

"Young man, I want this painting, tell me about your conditions."

His English is more fluent than Li Yi's.

"Oh...... I heard Rogov say that you once said that whoever finds this painting, you are willing to ......"

"Yes, yes, I'm always watching, and now the most expensive work seems to sell for £196 million? I guess I'm not mistaken, right? ”

"Nope."

"It's fine if you don't have it, young man, you want money?"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Ahem, it's a pity, if you had found me a few years earlier, it's a little late. Because I don't have any money, or rather, I don't have that much money! ”

"Huh?" (To be continued.) )
