Chapter 873: The Exchange Meeting Opened
Li Yi lowered his head and silently pondered what these people meant, the most likely one was that they all knew what he was going to do next, and they all felt that it was not worth it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
However, even if Wang Haoqing and Shangyi knew about it, how could Huiming know? I haven't seen him for more than a year, and if he wants to say that he is so magical, he really doesn't believe it!
But what would he mean if he didn't mean that?
Could it be that Wang Haoqing and the others deliberately used the master's mouth to wake him up? It's not that dangerous to do it a few times in a while, right?
It's just that since he has already attracted the attention of the two of them, it may not be that no one else is staring at him, so it is better to be as careful as possible.
After thinking about it for a while, he was relieved again, and now that his book and French painting had just begun to be practiced, he didn't know how long it would take to make it real. And the matter of letting Qu Hang imitate Shino Tao has not been communicated to anyone in his mind until now, even if Qu Hang is powerful, from now on imitation, research and aging time, what will happen will be a few years later.
It's a big deal to just look at the wind at that time, what's there to worry about? Could it be that Wang Haoqing knew that he was taking a copy of Xuezhou and other Yang's imitation paintings to cover the Japanese, thinking that his plan had already begun, so he was trying to persuade him?
"Hehe, it's okay, don't worry, even if there are some things to do, I will grasp the proportions."
Back in Yanyuan, Li Yi thought about it repeatedly, and still gave Qu Hang a task to copy Japanese Shino pottery in the name of 13, but did not ask for a specific time, nor did he explain why, only said that it was as soon as possible.
"The next step is the antique exchange meeting, after this matter is over, it should enter a stable period, of course, before the matter of Arnault and John Karui has to be resolved, if the painting of Yang such as Xuezhou can be shot, it is the best, it doesn't matter if it can't be done......"
Li Yi thought for a while, it shouldn't be a big deal recently, and it's time to respond to the increasingly noisy attacks on the Internet and newspapers.
"Sister Mo, let's exchange the most powerful things on the Internet at present, and press the others first, anyway, since we have to continue to do it, there will be opportunities in the future."
The most powerful things that were attacked were basically ancient paintings taken out of the top box, and the remaining few controversial works Li Yi had not yet taken out. But fortunately, I didn't take it all out, otherwise it would have been lively!
"After all, others don't have a spirit card, and there are only a few factors to judge the authenticity of a work. In the case of incomplete information, no matter how powerful the expert is, he will not dare to say that he will not be eye-catching, so don't be too anxious, take your time, now there are so many employees helping to collect information, find a piece and then announce it, anyway, there is no shortage of exhibits. ”
His problem now is not that there are not enough exhibits, after getting 13 treasures, let alone a museum, he can open three of them of the same scale, and he doesn't bring duplicate ones!
Time flies, a week has passed in the blink of an eye, and there are still three days left to go until the exchange meeting. Just when Li Yi thought that the matter of Arnott and John Karui would be delayed until after the exchange meeting, the two came together.
"Hehe, I heard that you don't give face to the British royal family, you rejected people twice, and you didn't even see each other the second time, what? Have they offended you? ”
As soon as Arnault came up, he asked about the British ambassador's request to see him some time ago.
Li Yi shook his head, "Time is different, the situation has changed, to be honest, if the two of you only ask me for an exchange now, my conditions will also make you feel unacceptable." ”
"Oh? What happened in between? ”
"I got a large donation of cultural relics, and now there is no place to put the large number of cultural relics......"
"Oh my God! Lee, we're old friends, you can't add to the conditions you promised us again! ”
"What did I promise you? But forget it, as you said, we're all old friends, and I won't kill you too hard. Tell me, what are you preparing? ”
"The two of us have prepared one thing together, and not only will we have to pay back those two things, but you will also have to find us another 20 million dollars."
"Yo, what kind of treasure is it that makes you two so confident?"
Arnott smiled and waved his hand, and the bodyguard behind him carefully put the box he had been holding on the table.
"Don't be too surprised! There are only a few things in the whole world. ”
Li Yi raised his eyebrows, opened the box gently, and then his eyes lit up, and he asked without raising his head: "This is the one from Baron Philip?" He actually made a move...... How much did you spend? ”
The porcelain vase lying in the box was actually the blue glazed white dragon plum vase of the Yuan Dynasty that Baron Philip had treasured when Ma Dashen helped him exchange the "Bronze Age" before!
"You don't care how much we spend, you just say how much it should be worth!"
Li Yi smiled bitterly, the price of this kind of thing is the most difficult to estimate, because once it is auctioned, it is possible to sell it at any sky-high price, of course, there is a high possibility that it will be recovered by the seller, because it cannot reach his psychological price.
"The piece in Yangzhou that claims to have been sent out to 4 billion, this should be putting gold on his face, and the price of this ancient porcelain should be between 500 million and 700 million, that is, it is worth 100 million US dollars!"
According to his own understanding, Li Yi gave a price that he thought was fairer. The price may be a bit high, but it doesn't matter, the two pieces in his hand are not ready to be sold cheaply.
"You've seen this plum vase before, did Philip offer you an offer?"
Arnott's questioning proved that the price given by Li Yi should be about the same as Philip, of course, it is also possible that Arnott deliberately followed his words.
"This thing is good, I can agree with you to exchange those two things, but let me make up another 20 million dollars for you, it's impossible."
Although foreigners talk about business relatively rarely, it is not impossible to discount. Li Yi estimates that judging from the importance these two guys attach to those two things, it is estimated that the psychological bottom line is that he is making up 10 million.
However, he doesn't even want to come out with the 10 million, these two are both famous people on the world's richest list, so what do they care about the 10 million?
"And how much can you make up?" Sure enough, the condition just now was just an offer.
"Don't make up a penny!"
"That can't be!" Arnault exclaimed, and John Karui remained silent to this day.
The two of them tugged back and forth, and finally negotiated the conditions, one for two, and Li Yi subsidized them with another $5 million.
"Li, you are really a Grande, the next time I deal with you, I will definitely be careful and careful, and I will not let you succeed again!"
The business was closed, and Arnault still looked indignant, but Li Yi knew that this guy was pretending, and the smile in his eyes was not hidden at all.
"Okay, you two world-class billionaires have wasted so much tongue with me for these five million, and if you put this effort into other aspects, it is estimated that you will earn back 20 million, right?"
"No, one yard to one yard. By the way, dear Li, we have one more thing to look for you when we come here this time, you should have the invitation to that exchange meeting in your hand, right? Give us two. ”
"Oh? The exhibits are all our Chinese cultural relics, what do you want the invitation for? ”
"Is it okay to be curious? Let's tell you the truth, we are ready to study the market value of China's precious cultural relics, and save it in the future! ”
"Oh my! What a grudge you must have! Isn't it fifteen million? I...... I won't make it up to you! ”
Three days passed in a flash, and Li Yi took the invitation list this time and said twice. Including Liu Mingxin, the people who attacked him the most fiercely were all invited, and it seems that the three major museums are standing behind him very firmly this time!
Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that there is no problem with his cultural relics, so it is really not too easy to judge whether the other three have the mentality of wanting to see jokes or good shows.
"But to be able to do this level, no matter what kind of mentality it is, it can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill. After all, if I really fake, they wouldn't be able to do it......"
Soon, Li Yi's mentality calmed down, and he rushed to the scene of this exchange meeting, the Palace Museum, together with Mo Jinxuan, Tan Moxuan and three other museum experts.
The venue of this exchange meeting was agreed upon several times, and finally decided to be hosted by the Forbidden City. When Li Yi and the others arrived at the scene, almost all the nearly 500 experts invited to participate had already arrived first.
Of course, seeing acquaintances was a lot of fun, and Li Yi's affairs were revealed a lot because of the museum, but he rarely appeared in front of people, so he was surrounded by everyone at once. I don't know how much saliva was wasted, and it wasn't until the official start of the exchange meeting at nine o'clock that he was liberated.
"My God, I'm afraid of this kind of occasion......" Although my memory is amazing, there were too many people just now, and the scene was relatively chaotic, so there were still some people who took the business card but didn't get the right number.
These are nothing in normal times, but when facing the scene, it is inevitable that people will attack them as arrogant and coquettish, so Li Yi feels a little headache.
"It's okay, I know most of these people, I'll show you slowly later."
Since it is an exchange meeting, it is natural that it is different from ordinary exhibitions, and the theme of the exchange meeting is to appreciate antiques and then express your own opinions and discuss them.
Because they are going to hold the exchange meeting for a long time, this time several companies have made certain restrictions on the number of cultural relics on display. Because the museum is new, you can take out 10 exhibits, and you have to take out 10 exhibits, because many people come for their exhibits.
The other three, each of which only took out 5 pieces, plus some collectors in the community and the collections of other museums, made a total of 40 exhibits.
This number may be a bit too small for such a large-scale exchange meeting. But all 40 pieces in the collection can be called national treasures, and there are many controversial things among them, which is high enough from the perspective of the exchange meeting.
The time for this exchange meeting was relatively tight, only two days in total, so even the evening time was used. The 40 exhibits are classified according to calligraphy and painting, porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous, and each of the 10 pieces will be exhibited and discussed at different times.
The morning of the first day will be the opening speech and exhibition, and the afternoon will move into the real discussion.
After a brief speech by the director of the Palace Museum on behalf of the organizers, the exchange meeting went directly to the exhibition.
The ten cultural relics taken out of the Zangzhen Museum this time are all treasures. In addition to the six works taken out of the dome box, even the golden cloud dragon pattern vermilion lacquer dome box from the Ming Hongzhi period was also brought to the site as an exhibit. The other three pieces are Mo Jinxuan's favorite porcelain, including the oversized Yuan blue and white disc and the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, which was just brought back from Japan.
Most of the people here had heard that Li Yi had taken out six priceless ancient paintings from a top box, and many of them had found the video from that time before coming. Therefore, at the beginning of the exhibition, there was an embarrassing scene, nearly 500 experts present, except for a very few browsing other exhibits, most of the others actually flocked to the calligraphy and painting, regardless of whether they were specially identified and studied calligraphy and painting, anyway, they would rather line up than look elsewhere!
Although this was expected to happen for a long time, now that it has happened, several of the curators in charge of the organization still feel a little depressed.
"Alas, forget it, speaking of which, this exchange meeting can be held on such a large scale, and it is also a blessing for Xiao Li and them, just go and watch them all if you rush to see it, and you will always come to see other things after reading it."
To say that most of the things on display this time are no worse than those things that Li Yi took out, but people just have a curiosity mentality, and experts are also people, and they are no exception, so this phenomenon has been caused.
But this kind of heat can't last long, because many majors are not calligraphy and painting, they squeeze over, that is, to join in the fun, I believe it will be normal for a while.
Sure enough, the works that Li Yi took out were lively in front of them for less than an hour, and the crowd gradually dispersed. But it's strange that these experts generally don't look at things in their own specialty, but run to the categories that they are not very good at and keep reading, and discuss with their peers while reading.
"Because the next group discussion has time to see what you are good at, ...... These old guys don't have a fuel-efficient lamp! ”
Seeing Li Yi's somewhat puzzled gaze, a dean spread his hands and revealed the truth at once.
"Really, there's a lot of time to go...... Those deans, I won't accompany you, to be honest, I haven't seen you treasures! ”
Li Yi smiled, turned around and walked towards the jewelry and jade booth, inadvertently, his eyes and Liu Mingxin, who had just finished reading calligraphy and painting, saw the coldness and indifference in each other's eyes!
