Chapter 659: Another Fish

After putting away the "Mona Lisa", Li Yi looked at the remaining works again, although he didn't find any other amazing paintings, but it was enough to satisfy him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Monet, Renoir, Picasso, CΓ©zanne, plus Han Yun and Leonardo da Vinci, this is a perfect combination, and what they represent is a wealth that is too great to hold on.

Li Yi hadn't seen so much wealth before, but this time he felt a little different. Just like the glass species, although it is also very valuable, but for him now, even if it is not called a give-and-take, it is not much worse, and even the more precious holy plate, because he didn't think it would be very precious when he first got it, and when he later learned its value, he didn't have much reaction except shock.

But these paintings are different, these paintings are so rare, it can be said that the way to get them cannot be copied at all, and they can bring him more irreproducible wealth, which makes him a little troubled and lost.

"You can't put all of these in Bordeaux, so Gu Feng, you go back and take these paintings with you."

Li Yi picked out the paintings of Renoir, CΓ©zanne and Leonardo da Vinci, and prepared to send Gu Feng back to China for collection, and then transfer them out after they are settled in Hong Kong in the future.

Everything was arranged, almost in the evening, the fat elephant also rushed over from the airport, Li Yi immediately called Luo Guofu and made an appointment with Adolf to inspect the transaction tomorrow!

Such a large business, especially involving millions of commissions, Rogov is particularly concerned. Therefore, as soon as he received a call from Li Yi, he did not inform Adolf, but rushed directly to the hotel where Li Yi was staying, and he wanted to take a look at things first.

Since Rogov is engaged in this business, he also has a certain ability to appreciate it. After seeing the painting, although I can't be sure that this "Summer Carnival" is definitely Hans. Hoffman's original handiwork, but he can still see the same level of painting.

Although it can be seen that the level of this painting is okay, Rogov still feels a little uneasy, he hesitated for a moment, and said:

"It shouldn't be a problem, but ...... Boss, why don't we hire an appraiser tomorrow? ”

"Appraiser, please? Why? ”

"In case the person who invited there says that this is a fake, we have someone who can argue with it, besides, ask someone to help take a look, what if the other party's price is low? We're not going to lose ......."

Li Yi snorted twice, a painting of Hans. Hoffman's work, for a guantong, a Raphael work not to mention, the other party also took 10 million euros, this deal also said that it would be a loss, this guy is a little too greedy and insufficient. However, his proposal is really meritorious, but it is not necessary to use it in this "Summer Carnival".

"Rogov, I think it's really necessary to hire an appraiser, but it's not me, but you."

"Oh? Why? ”

Li Yi turned around and took out another painting tube from the cabinet and handed it to Luo Guofu, motioning for him to open it for himself.

Rogov opened the painting tube with a suspicious face, opened the picture inside to the empty and curled canvas, stared at the picture for a while, and suddenly let out an exclamation,

"Picasso, is this Picasso's work?"

"That's right, it's a Picasso work. I'm going to trade this painting for these things, and I'm going to ask for your help in this matter. ”

Li Yi took out the information that Luo Guofu handed him a few days ago, and on it, he had already selected a few things, although they were not from one family, but he believed that Luo Guofu had the ability to help him coordinate.

"These are these...... It's not impossible to exchange like this, it's just that these things belong to three families, which is a bit difficult to do. ”

"Hehe, it's not difficult to do, let's talk about it first! In fact, if I were one of these people, I would never give up a Picasso work for the sake of a few Chinese antiques. The only thing that's a little difficult right now is that there's only one painting, and there are three people you need to contact, but I don't think that's a problem for you. ”

Rogov nodded a little embarrassedly, if he took out the painting, then this matter would not be difficult at all. He just needs to find one of them, and as long as that guy wants the painting, he'll do it for him. From this point of view, Li Yi is indeed very interesting, and he did not get rid of him because he wanted to give him a commission, but what if he was the one who wanted this painting?

"Well, I'll contact a friend first, ask him to come and show us the painting, and give us an estimate by the way, and then I'll talk to these people."

Li Yi nodded,

"Before trading, you can take me to see things first, maybe after seeing the real thing, I will pick two more."

Li Yi said as he took out a painting tube from the cabinet.

"I still have an emir here. Nolde's work is also genuine, and if I were to choose something again, I would be ready to trade it for it. ”

Although Li Yi checked a few antiques on the information, in fact, what he wanted to see was not only these few pieces, he hoped to have the opportunity to see them all.

Although, want to meet again in John. The kind of good things that Karui encountered were almost impossible, but the big leak couldn't be picked up, and the small leak was not necessarily. What's more, according to Rogov's description, the ones that can be included in this material are some antiques that they think are more valuable, and the antique dealers he is looking for have actual collections that are several times that of those displayed in the materials.

It's just that it's not easy to see all of these people's collections. After all, these people are scattered all over Europe, and this time they are all here for the Biennale, so it is naturally impossible to bring all the collections with them, especially those that they think are of little value, and Li Yi's hope for picking up the missing things is in those things that they think are not valuable.

Then I can only use these two works to show the sincerity of the transaction, and then look at the opportunity.

"Emir. Nolde? Oh my God, it's really his work, where did you get all this stuff? ”

After Luo Guofu carefully looked at the painting that Li Yixin took out, there was a suspicious expression in his eyes, plus the one that was about to be exchanged for Adolf, these are three oil paintings, and each one is a famous master's work, how did he do it as a Chinese?

His eyes looking at the large wardrobe were full of suspicion, and when Li Yi opened the cabinet just now, he seemed to see a painting tube inside......

"Hehe, no matter where you got it, there's no problem with the way it came anyway, if you're interested, this one is still an emir. Nolde's work, I keep it as a backup. ”

Li Yi smiled and took out the rest of the painting tube, and the other works, which were going to stay in Europe, had already sent Hongchen back to Bordeaux. Being able to take out three at a time is already the limit, and if there are more, it will be difficult to explain.

After silently finishing the painting, Rogov took out his mobile phone, took a few photos, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left. As soon as he walked on his front foot, Li Yi received a call from Tian Zechuan.

"NND, little Japan is really hard to handle! Brother Li, do you have time to come out for a cup of coffee? ”

"Okay, no problem! You name a place, I'll go. ”

Li Yi had been in telephone contact with Tian Zechuan before, and he also knew that the negotiations on his side were extremely difficult. The Japanese side initially meant that two things were exchanged for one piece, and the two sides talked for two days before they conceded to five pieces for one piece.

"I can't talk about it anymore, and the final condition of the Japanese side is to exchange seven pieces for one piece. It's just that these 7 pieces can't be completely selected by us, they specify 3 of them, and these 3 pieces can't be counted in the transaction yet. For these 3 pieces, they have to sign another agreement, which is considered a donation. ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered:

"This is to be a **** to set up a memorial arch, and donate ...... Let me see, which ones are there? ”

Tian Zechuan pushed a piece of white paper in front of Li Yi, on it, the names of ten antiques were written, seven of which were checked in front of them, but the colors were different, three were red, and the remaining four were blue.

"Golden masks, bamboo slips have to be donated? Who do they want to donate to? ”

"The Palace Museum."

"It can't be!"

Tian Zechuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that Li Yi would not agree to this condition. However, the Japanese side also bit very hard, and if they did not agree to this exchange plan, then either they could choose 5 out of the remaining 8 pieces, or they could only exchange these two pieces for a piece of "Wulu".

In fact, the initial condition of the Japanese side was to exchange the "Wulu" with two pieces, the golden mask and the bamboo slips of the Warring States period.

"Looks like they know the value of the things they brought out......"

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said:

"Director Tian, let's leave this matter like this first, thank you so much this time."

"Oh, it's okay, these are the things I should do. Moreover, although the conversation has been hard in the past few days, it is still super cool to see them give in a little bit...... By the way, what do you mean by that? Drag them for a while? ”

Li Yi shook his head,

"Don't delay, we're not playing! You can go back and tell Little Japan that the owner of "Wulu" is extremely dissatisfied with this plan and doesn't want to talk to them anymore. Of course, you can also send them a message through **, that is, you think I seem to have found someone else here, remember, you think. ”

"Hehe, okay! I don't think most of them believe it, but it's nice to be able to make them suspicious. ”

"It doesn't have to make them suspicious, maybe I can find another group of people, maybe more than one......"

Li Yi thought of Luo Guofu, this guy may not know the Japanese antique dealer, but if he is friends and everyone is in this industry, he will definitely be able to help him find another trading partner, as for whether to talk about it or not, that's another matter.

"Oh? Can you really find another group of people? But can they come up with something of this grade? ”

Tian Zechuan frowned, to be honest, he was quite satisfied with this plan, but it was useless for him to be satisfied, because the thing was not his. And the most important thing is that if Li Yi can find another group of people, most of them don't need to ask him to negotiate for him, then the original agreed conditions will be useless, and his trip will be useless.

"Hehe, Director Tian, you don't have to worry, no matter who you trade with in the end, I can promise that the value of the cultural relics I take out and hand over to you will not be less than 1 million ......."

Li Yi knew what he was worried about as soon as he saw Tian Zechuan's expression, and opened his mouth to dispel his concerns. However, here he also has a mind, and does not limit the number of antiques, but only says the value, if in the end every piece is reluctant, he is ready to take out the porcelain from Dean to top the account, cheap is not afraid, cheap we will make a fuss about the quantity.

Or, even if this negotiation can be successful, he should use those porcelains to make up the number, after all, even if the blue and white of the Yongzheng Dynasty is worthless, it is also the third generation of the Qing Dynasty! And Wang Yong, Gao Xiang's works, which one is not more collectible than those porcelain?

After chatting with Tian Zechuan for a while, Li Yi said goodbye and returned to the hotel, now, the bait has been scattered, let's see what we can harvest next!

The next day, the first harvest came to the door on his own initiative and knew that Hans. Hoffmann's "Summer Carnival" had already arrived in Paris, and Adolf did not wait for them to come to the door, but took the initiative to find it.

"Hello, Mr. Li Yi, this is Robert. Mr. Mondrian, a disciple of Mr. Motherwell and a famous painter of the contemporary Abstract Expressionist school, and at the same time, he is also a famous oil painting appraiser, I asked him to come and help me see the paintings, no problem, right? ”

"No problem, of course!"

Li Yi looked Mondrian up and down as he let the two into the room.

Unlike the European painters and appraisers he had seen before, this Monsieur Mondrian was a super fat man.

He is about 40 years old, and he is not very tall, only about 1.7 meters, but his waist circumference is definitely more than this size, so that if you want to shake hands with him, you have to stretch your arms as much as possible to surpass his big belly that seems to be pregnant with triplets.

Li Yizhen doesn't know how such a figure became a famous painter, let alone painting at the desk, even if he uses an easel, his arms that are almost as thick as other people's thighs are difficult to reach the target, perhaps, the brushes he uses are all lengthened?

However, although the image is not good, the level of identification of this person is not covered. Because in just ten minutes, he not only confirmed that the "Summer Carnival" was Hans. Hoffmann's authentic work, moreover, also confirms Picasso, Emile. Nolde's paintings are also authentic.

In fact, no matter who they are, as long as they confirm that these paintings are genuine, Li Yi will think that their level is not covered......

After confirming the authenticity of the paintings, Adolf did not hesitate at all, he had already brought the two paintings with him this time, of course, so that the transaction on the spot also had the meaning of preventing stealing beams and changing pillars.

Signing, drawing, transferring, payment, and exchanging works...... In less than an hour, Adolf was satisfied with the painting and left. It's just that what Li Yi didn't expect was that half an hour later, he actually received a call from Mondrian!

"Mr. Li Yi, I also have an ancient painting from China here, may I ask, are you interested?" (To be continued.) )
