As soon as Bob sent out the invitation, Li Yi felt that this person was either a real senior executive of the Bank of Union Sanpaolo, or he had another identity, otherwise, he should not have any position or qualification to issue this invitation.

However, the business card that Bob handed over afterwards not only did not solve his doubts, but made him even more confused.

Because Bob's business card is very simple, it is a very ordinary white business card paper that is not even worth a few cents, and the content on the business card is so simple that there is only a black printed name and a string of lonely phone numbers.

Li Yi tried to spell the name on the business card, but he didn't pronounce it, because it was a very rude thing to spell someone else's name wrong.

"Jacob. Bob...... Is this person famous? Damn, even if your name is good enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, I'm not Italian...... This 13-packed, bad review! ”

Li Yi was complaining while pondering how to deal with this scene, because he knew that although he didn't know what the name on the business card represented, generally speaking, the identity of the person who could have this kind of business card should not be too ordinary.

"My name is Jacob. Bob, sir, please allow me to apologize again for Meng Lang just now, sorry, rude. ”

Jacob. Bob, that's how hard it is. After confirming once again that there was indeed no information about the name in his mind, Li Yi smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Mr. Bob. I'm Li Yi, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Just, I'm very sorry. I've already made an appointment for lunch. ”

Bob laughed heartily twice,

"That's normal, isn't it? However, I would like to take the liberty of making a request, because I would like to ask Mr. Li Yi to give me a chance, an opportunity to talk to you about this painting. ”

Li Yi frowned, a little unsure of this guy's specific intentions, did he fall in love with this painting or did he know the origin of this painting? If it's the latter, it's a bit of a problem. Because the painting mysteriously disappeared during World War II, if this guy knew who the painting belonged to, then he would lose a lot of money this time. If one is not done well, it may even get into big trouble.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yi decided to figure this matter out as soon as possible, and he glanced down at the time. Then he said:

"Mr. Bob. It's two hours before my appointment, why don't we find a place to have a cup of coffee together? ”

"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll rush you, and get your things done first."

Looking at Bob's back as he left in a hurry, Li Yi took out his mobile phone and quickly typed in Jacob. The name Bob. It's a pity this time. The mighty Baidu didn't help much.

This guy ......

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, called up the dialed phone, and called Lan Zhu.

"Jacob. Bob...... You wait, I'll ask Inzaghi. ”

Li Yi nodded, and a few seconds later, he heard an exclamation from Inzaghi on the other end of the phone, followed by a long list of Italian, and the tone was very urgent, and it seemed that the guy should be very excited.

Sure enough, it's not an ordinary person!

The Bob family was a hereditary aristocratic family in Italy, having been known as the Count of Arona since the mid-15th century, and has continued to do so ever since. And Jacob. Bob is the owner of the title of Earl of Arona in this generation. However, it is not his identity that makes him famous, but because of his daughters. ”

On the phone, Lan Zhu began to translate to Li Yi sentence by sentence.

"His eldest daughter, married to another count, and that person, who is now the chairman of the Italian API oil group. His second daughter, married to the current president of the Fiat Group, and her third daughter, the dream lover of Prince Albert II of Germany, are now being pursued by His Excellency the Prince, and it is estimated that they will have a grand wedding this year. And his fourth daughter, it is said that the Prince and Princess of Monaco are very fond of her, and even intends to let her son pursue her...... Damn, this Nima is too awesome, right? ”

As he spoke, Lan Zhu couldn't help but burst into foul language, and Li Yi on the other end of the phone also looked speechless and asked Cangtian, what kind of family is this Nima, it is actually hanging like this, this is not much different from the three sisters of the Song family back then!

"That's pretty much all Inzaghi knows...... By the way, he also said that Jacob. Mr. Bob has a relationship with most of the aristocratic families in Europe now, and they seem to have formed some kind of charity together to help orphans in some African countries, and the members of this charity are very terrifying, and if we can establish a friendship with them, our furniture will not need to worry about selling at all......"

Li Yi nodded silently, if Inzaghi is not wrong, establishing a friendship with Bob can indeed help their furniture brand, but the actual situation now is that the more extensive Mr. Bob's communication, the more likely he is to know the original owner of this "Nude Maha......

Damn, I really don't know if this trip to the bank is the right or wrong.

Half an hour later, Li Yi finally finished renting a bank safe, and ten minutes later, in a small inconspicuous café, he and Earl Bob sat down face to face.

"Mr. Li Yi, I think you must be very strange, why do I have to ask you so anxious to talk to you about the "Nude Maha"."

Li Yi nodded.

"Actually, it's very simple, because I really like that painting, and I hope that you, Mr. Li Yi, can transfer it to me."

I have to say that this answer is really a bit unexpected by Li Yi, could he have guessed wrong, is it really that simple?

But the doubt was only fleeting in his mind, for he quickly made up his mind. It doesn't matter what the real intentions of the guy on the other side are, and it doesn't matter if he's telling a lie or not. Getting this oil painting out as soon as possible that is likely to cause him huge trouble should be a very good choice for him who is not aware of the situation now!

Therefore. In Bob's expectant eyes, he quickly nodded,

"No problem! It's just that...... Mr. Bob, it may not be very clear to you, I am not short of money and I don't need money, I just hope. To be able to exchange this painting for some of our Chinese antiques ......"

"Oh choke, choke, I understand. Repatriation, right? I have to say, Mr. Li, you are really a person worthy of respect......"

Bob immediately understood Li Yi's intentions, and he hesitated. Said:

"So be it. Please give me a moment, Mr. Li, I will provide you with a list as soon as possible, and then we will discuss the specific terms of exchange, what do you think? ”

Li Yi smiled and stretched out his right hand,

"I hope we have a good time together."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

At noon, at Margaret's Pizzeria, Li Yi saw Yokoyama and his son again, and when he put the blue blood water finger of Jiugu Burnt in front of them. He saw a hungry wolf-like greedy look in their eyes.

"That's right, this is indeed the work of Master Abe! His Excellency Li Yi. We really need this water finger very much, may I ask, what kind of conditions do you need to be willing to transfer it to us? ”

Li Yi frowned, and was about to speak, when suddenly his mobile phone rang, he made an apologetic gesture and picked up the phone.

"What? Want an antique desk looking for me too? Hey, they don't know what I do, how else can you know? Would I collect that bulky stuff? Okay, you just tell them and let them go to the market and buy it themselves, it's not worth much anyway! By the way, if there is such a thing in the future, don't bother me! ”

Hung up the phone, Li Yi, who still had a trace of impatience on his face, looked at the Hengshan father and son who leaned forward, his eyes were shining, and his movements were almost identical, and said in surprise:

"What's wrong with you? Any questions? ”

"No, no, no, it's just Your Excellency Li Yi, does your friend need a European antique desk?"

Li Yi nodded, and then pursed his lips again,

"I've never collected antique furniture, especially European, and this middleman doesn't know what benefits he has taken from others, so it's inexplicable that he dares to call me on the phone......

"No, no, it's not inexplicable at all, Your Excellency Li Yi, you can fully meet his request, and moreover, you can put forward more conditions, because we happen to have a beautiful and luxurious antique desk in our hands, and we are more than happy to exchange it for you."

"Oh no, you must be kidding, how much is a desk worth, no matter how beautiful it is? And this water finger, it is the work of Master Abe. ”

"No, no, Your Excellency Li Yi, you say this because you didn't see the desk. Not only is the wood very precious on that desk, but the 78 decorative nails on it are all made of pure gold! We think that this desk must have an extraordinary origin, but for the sake of our friendship and for the sake of this finger, we are willing to exchange it for you......"

Hengshan Jinglu said as he took out the list that Li Yi had read before.

"In order to show our sincerity, Your Excellency Li Yi, in addition to that desk, we are also willing to put on another piece of your Chinese antique ......"

Li Yi shook his head helplessly, and then looked scared of you,

"One is not enough, I want five!"

"No, you can't be so greedy...... Well, two pieces! ”

"Five!"

"Oh my God, you're really the most greedy Chinese I've ever met! Three, three at most, just can't be more. ”

"Five pieces! Mr. Yokoyama, in fact, this condition is a huge adventure for me, because not only have I never seen the desk, but I have also not seen any of the things in your list, so I ......"

Hearing Li Yi say this, Hengshan Jinglu exchanged a look with his father, as if he had made a great determination,

"Your Excellency Li Yi, do you have time? If you have time, and as a sign of our sincerity, I would like to invite you to a place where you can see all the antiques on the list, including that desk! ”

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
