According to Li Yi's estimate, even if "The Scream" is deducted a little, it should still be able to leave about $100 million in the end. Kalu's offer, what he was able to get in the end, was less than 70 million, and the gap was indeed a bit too big. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But John. Karui was very desperate at the offer of the "Virgin Post", for the simple reason that he also had the transaction prices of Chinese cultural relics at auction over the years. Moreover, when pricing antiques, subjective factors may account for a large proportion, as if he is bound to get "The Scream", and he also knows very well that Li Yi should also be bound to some of his collections.

Since the two sides stand in an equal position, there is no need to make great concessions, not to mention, after several trials, Li Yi only repeatedly entangled in the price of the "Virgin Post", but he did not mean to cross it out of the negotiation directory at all. Karui knew that as long as both sides had this kind of mind, they would definitely be able to negotiate in the end.

What's more, he still has one last trick that he hasn't come up with, and that is the "Statue of David".

Others don't know that as the owner of the "Statue of David", John. Karui knew very well in his heart that the piece in his hand was the real Donatello's "Statue of David", but the origin was a little unclear, and it was impossible to put it on the table for trading.

He didn't expect Li Yi to recognize this sculpture before, nor did he realize that Li Yi might be interested in this sculpture, but Edmund was an old fritter, although Li Yi covered it up well, but he still showed him some clues, thus reminding John. Karui. As long as they bite to death and throw "Statue of David" at the last moment, Li Yi is completely likely to take over this big trouble for them.

Li Yi didn't know what the problem was, but he felt that this negotiation was more difficult than any other. It is impossible for Karui to know that for Li Yi, this kind of hardship is just the difference between earning more and earning less, and it will not cause him much trouble.

The two sides tested each other's bottom line in such a situation. Karui felt that it was almost over, and when he was about to take out "The Statue of David" to test it, Li Yi suddenly gave in.

"John. Thank you very much, Mr. Karui, for your hospitality, and I think that's it, I'll exchange "The Scream" for these 10 antiques, and then you will pay me another $78 million in a week......"

John. Karui was stunned for a moment, but then stood up with a smile, it is not bad to be able to conclude a deal on such terms, if "Statue of David" really wants to deal with it, the price of the black market should not be less than 78 million US dollars, not to mention, it was not counted this time.

The next day, Li Yi returned to Bordeaux with this harvest. He plans to keep these antiques abroad for the time being, but he hasn't thought about whether to secretly open them here, because in doing so, it will be difficult to trust people about the origin of these ancient paintings, and even their authenticity will be questioned a lot.

"Wow, what a beautiful bottle!"

Among so many antiques, Lu Ningshuang's favorite is the ivory carving Dream of Red Mansions character story bottle, for no other reason, this bottle is so beautiful.

"I said that I would accompany me this time, but it turned out to be ......"

Holding the bottle in her arms and playing with it for a while, Lu Ningshuang threw Li Yi a resentful look, however, just as Li Yi scratched her scalp and didn't know how to answer, she smiled and dragged Li Yi out of the treasure room.

"I'm telling you, we're afraid we've bought a treasure this time!"

Seeing Lu Ningshuang's sneaky appearance, Li Yi was stunned, did he buy a treasure? Or are we? What do you mean?

"You come with me!"

Lu Ningshuang pulled Li Yi to the wine cellar next to the treasure room, where the wine they had just made this year was stacked, and their harvest this year had only made less than 80 barrels, and they were all 50 gallon barrels.

"Guess what I found when I was testing the quality of the wine made this time?"

Li Yi's heart jumped, remembering the He Shou Wu water he poured into it during fermentation, and couldn't help but secretly scream bad, didn't it say that after being sealed in a wooden barrel, it wouldn't be opened before it was a year old?

"I've found that mysterious substance in the wine I made this time! Because it was the first time to make wine, the range of sampling this time was very wide, so I have reason to believe that this substance is contained in the wine made this time! ”

So there is still such a thing as sampling? Li Yi scratched his scalp as he pretended not to understand anything, but in fact he really didn't understand much.

"If you contain everything, you will contain everything, anyway, didn't you say that this substance is beneficial and harmless, and the more the merrier?"

"Yes, that's why I said that we bought a treasure this time, come, you can taste it, it has just been brewed for less than a month, but the taste is similar to that of one or two years of brewing, and the most important thing is that it has many benefits to the human body......"

Lu Ningshuang took half a glass of wine from a small sealed wooden barrel and handed it to Li Yi, but there was a confused expression on his face,

"At first, I suspected that this mysterious substance might be a mineral, which was absorbed by the vines and left in the grapes, but after testing the soil and grapes, I didn't find any clues, and besides, the bottle of wine that first discovered this substance was not from this vineyard......

Li Yi smiled and tasted the dark red liquor, smacking his lips, and didn't feel that the taste was too different from the ones he usually drank.

"Maybe it's not uncommon for a lot of factors to come together, for example, the soil or grapes do contain a certain substance, and then during fermentation, that substance reacts with a certain substance and finally forms this mysterious substance......

"I want to explain it that way, but how can I explain that the wine made by Château Singaro from the grapes produced in this vineyard has not been found in the past?"

Li Yi shrugged his shoulders, this is not easy to explain? He Shou Wushui, your husband and I are unique in the world, even if they want to add it, they can't add it.

"You're not happy about good things, why do you care so much? Tell me, if all these wines contain that mysterious substance, what are the benefits for us? ”

"Benefits?"

Lu Ningshuang picked up Li Yi's glass of wine and took a shallow sip,

"This mysterious substance can speed up the fermentation process, and the magnitude is very impressive."

Lu Ningshuang pointed to a row of small wine barrels in the cabinet on the side and said:

"These are all sealed with the vats, and I have now opened two kegs, the first of which was only 10 days after the date of sealing, but the wine in it was like it had been fermented for more than three months, and then after another 10 days, I opened the second casket......

Lu Ningshuang shook the wine glass in his hand at Li Yi,

"That's what you drink."

"20 days is equivalent to two years? Impossible, right? According to you, if you leave it for a year, it will be not much different from the wine that has been brewed for more than 30 years, and if you leave it for 10 years, oh my God......"

Li Yi frowned suspiciously, could it be that the biggest role of He Shou Wu is actually winemaking? It's really hard to say, in so many wines, he put less than 400 ml in total, although it is not diluted, but even if it is thick, how thick can it be?

"Shouldn't it be that scary? But it's hard to say, because what has been detected so far alone can't be explained by science......"

Lu Ningshuang drank the rest of the wine,

"The age is only one aspect, the most important thing is that long-term drinking of wine containing this substance has an incomparable effect on the improvement of the human body, which can not only make people live longer, but also make people look very young...... No, this youth is not what it seems, but it is really young, and the metabolism of various organs will be improved......"

Lu Ningshuang groaned while trying to organize more reasonable and appropriate language,

"My father's research showed that people who drink this wine for a long time are 5 to 10 years younger than people of the same age, which means that even if I grow into my 30s or 40s, all the organs and parts of my body will still remain in my 20s...... Haha, the face is permanent, the youth is not old, this is the ultimate dream of many women! ”

Looks permanent, youthful and ageless? Li Yi's eyes couldn't help but sparkle with golden light,

"Is there a way for you to get your dad's research results recognized by the public?"

"What do you want them to approve of?"

Lu Ningshuang showed a vigilant expression,

"There is only so much wine made in total, it's not enough to drink it yourself, don't have any bad ideas as soon as possible, otherwise I'll be finished with you!"

Drink it yourself? Li Yi took a look at the wine cellar, each barrel is 50 gallons, 80 barrels is 4000 gallons, an inch gallon is equivalent to 4.5 liters, 4000 gallons is 18000 liters, 750 ml bottles, that is, 12000 bottles, one person drinks...... My God, isn't she going to become a big drunkard?

"Who said I was going to drink it by myself? Let me tell you, from today onwards, you, as well as your aunts and uncles, my parents and my parents, will all drink this wine together, and at least one bottle a day! ”

"Isn't that right? Even if it's wine, drinking too much is not good for your body, right? Moreover, if you have one bottle a day, you can easily become an alcoholic, and when the time comes, the amount will become larger and larger, and you will not be able to control it at all......"

"I don't care! Who made this wine so low in the mysterious substance? My dad said that if you consume too little, the effect will not be so obvious. Or do you want me to stay young forever, and you want to wait for me to get old so that I can cheat on other little girls? (To be continued.) )
