Chapter 822: Seeking Justice?
Like Li Yi, once he is suspicious of a certain cultural relic, then he will definitely be able to point out the suspicious points, so Qingwu Hongji just thought about it for a while, then nodded and said:
"Well, wait for me to contact Mr. Furukawa, who is an expert on Takeda Shingen, and he should come to visit the exhibition this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Kiyotake Hirotsugu took out his mobile phone and repeatedly looked at the heavy mask on his hand while making a call. This one, if it's really Takeda Shingen's, it's really a treasure.
However, no matter how precious and valuable a mask is, it is nothing to a person of their status. But if Li Yi really didn't admit his mistake, then this joke would be a bit big.
First of all, in order to make a set of armor look better, I looked for things everywhere to save up, and then I didn't expect that a certain part that was pulled to fill up was actually more valuable than the whole set of armor!
This is a real loss of people and money! People are lost, and the money is also given to others by their own hands!
Of course, you can argue that this was actually done by the Racecourse Nobubo, but can you control other people's mouths?
The corners of Qingwu's mouth provoked a wicked smile, at this time, he was a little looking forward to this mask that was really Takeda Shingen, in that way, the topic of this exhibition would be raised to a higher level!
The phone was connected, and it was a coincidence that Furukawa Daiki did come to visit the exhibition, and it was in the auction hall next door, and as soon as this guy heard that he had found a mask that was probably used by Takeda Shingen, he almost didn't jump up at that time, and he didn't even use it for three minutes when he rushed from next door!
"Where's Takeda's mask?"
As soon as they met, this guy didn't even say hello, and asked directly where the thing was.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still the same!"
Qingwu smiled and handed the mask to Gu Chuan, and was about to introduce a few words to Li Yi, but he didn't expect that Gu Chuan's face instantly became interesting!
"Furukawa-kun, what's wrong?"
"No, no, I just suddenly remembered a very interesting thing, Qing Wujun, this is indeed the mask that Takeda Shingen once used, and it is also his main mask, can you lend me it for a while?"
Qing Wu was stunned for a moment, this guy didn't look at it at all and determined that this was Takeda's mask, which shows that there must be a very unique secret mark hidden on this mask, maybe the reason why Li Yi was able to pick up the leak was also because of this secret mark, so he must find a way to study it for a while later.
"Furukawa-kun, I'm sorry, this mask belongs to this Mr. Li Yi, but he is looking to sell it, I think you can buy it and study it for as long as you want!"
"Of course I want to buy it if I can, but the point is, I can't afford it!"
Can't afford it? At this time, not only Qingwu Honghei, but even Li Yi was a little surprised. This mask is worth 100 million yen at most, right? Although this money is not a small amount, but who is Furukawa, he will actually say that he can't afford it!
"It's been a bit tight lately, otherwise, I'll exchange an ancient Chinese painting from my collection with you?"
Li Yi's eyes lit up, what he was originally preparing was to exchange, but before he could say it, this is just the best of both worlds!
"Mr. Furukawa, can you show me what kind of painting it is?"
"Of course, this is no problem, but the painting is not with me at this time, let me briefly introduce it to you, the painting in my collection is a work by Mr. Pan Tianshou, a famous painter in your country, called "Lust for Snow" ......"
If you want to rank the modern and modern Chinese painters, it is not clear who can rank first between Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian, but Pan Tianshou must be in the top ten.
In the comments about Pan Tianshou, there is a very intriguing sentence, "He is the last master of traditional painting who has never stepped into the modern era." ”
Stepping into the modern era should refer to some references to the spirit of Western culture and the trend of art thought. If in this sense, it is true that several such works should be collected.
In the current market, the price of Pan Tianshou's works is not very high, one square foot is probably less than 1.5 million, of course, this refers to those ordinary works, those large-scale masterpieces must be another matter......
"I wonder what the size of your snow-hungry picture is, Mr. Furukawa?"
"Well, it should be okay, it's 82 times 81, about 6 square feet."
6 square feet, which is not a big size, but if you put it into the pricing formula just now, it is easy to calculate, and the price should be between eight or nine million, which is a lot more expensive than the 100 million yen of the mask.
However, there is no reason to talk about cultural relics, and a piece of rotten iron that you may think is superfluous at a glance in your eyes, but in the eyes of another person, it is a treasure. What's more, both prices are only estimates at the moment, and if they do go public, who knows what the outcome will be?
After agreeing in principle to the exchange, Furukawa left in a hurry and hurried home to get his painting, and Li Yi asked about the chicken bowl cup he had seen before.
"The organizing committee has confirmed that the transaction process between the two parties at that time was very legal, the contract was very formal, and there was no deliberate deception or concealment. Moreover, the person who traded was a 28-year-old adult man, so there was nothing incapacitated, and the most important thing was that a lawyer was present from beginning to end......
"Oh? Is there a lawyer present? So, did they check beforehand whether the man was the real owner of the chicken cup? Also, China has long had a rule that all cultural relics produced in 1911 are prohibited from leaving the country! How did they get to Japan, and do they have the relevant customs certificates? What the hell is going on in some things, let alone the parties involved, even onlookers can see it clearly, so don't do it too much!"
Li Yi also does this kind of thing often, but because he often does it, he knows the loopholes in it, so it seems that the accusation is very targeted.
"Even if this matter is to be dealt with, the most it can do is to remove the lot from the shelves and let the two parties negotiate on their own. However, I estimate that there is almost no possibility of buying it back at the original price. Qingwu Hongji shrugged his shoulders, he understood Li Yi's position as a Chinese, but as long as he was a distributor of antiques, what did he do when he collected antiques? The difference is only whether or not the bitter lord is chasing you and biting!
Li Yi also shook his head a little helplessly, Huaxia has forced some lots to be removed from the shelves through some diplomatic efforts over the years, but what if they are taken off the shelves? Can you stop them from trading in other ways?
The answer is no.
In Li Yi's opinion, those seem to be disease-free moans. The protests could have stopped a long time ago. If you have the ability, you will fight back just like others beat you back then! If you don't have the ability, you have to face up to reality, face history, and exchange the equivalent if you want!
Of course, this thing of the old man is a bit different, because there are indeed violations in it, so if it is strictly investigated, there should still be a slight possibility of getting it back.
But it was this glimmer of possibility that made Li Yi feel a bit of a dilemma. The reason is very simple, they seek it from the Japanese through certain channels, and if the Japanese ignore it completely, they should not be able to come up with any good solutions.
But if he spends a lot of money to buy things, it will be different, because the Japanese did take the chicken bowl cup out of China through smuggling, then the chicken bowl cup is likely to be identified as the subject of smuggling. And if it is really determined that way, then the transaction between the two of them is illegal. If Mr. Wang sues the court, he will most likely not be able to keep the chicken cup!
If that chicken bowl cup is just an ordinary imitation, it is just a genuine product in the Chenghua years!
Of course, if he doesn't want to get into trouble, he can completely stop getting involved in this matter, isn't it more than 200 million? He really doesn't think too much of it!
However, if he really didn't participate, with those people, he shouldn't have the ability to bring things back. As a result, the cup is likely to disappear and never be found again!
Moreover, it is also possible that one day in the future, it will meet a powerful appraiser, so as to appear in a certain auction in the face of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, and then it will be really painful!
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yi decided that if he had the opportunity tomorrow, he would contact that Wang Lao first, and then decide what to do with the chicken bowl cup.
Bidding farewell to Qingwu, Li Yi and Gu Feng returned to the hotel, but they were not in a hurry to eat, because a little later, the fat elephant would be able to rush back.
"Bang ......"
Sure enough, before he waited for a while, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Feng walked over to take a look, a little strange, "Who are you looking for?" ”
There were three people standing outside the door, two men and one woman, all with unfamiliar faces.
"Hello, may I ask Mr. Li Yi to live here, right? I am Xia Haitao, a lawyer at Huaxia Changtian Law Firm, both of whom are my colleagues, and we came here this time mainly to communicate with Mr. Li Yi about the chicken bowl cup at the Japanese Cultural Relics Exhibition......"
Li Yi is very strange, hasn't he bought this horse yet? Why did a lawyer come to the door? It was clearly said that it was for the chicken bowl cup, why, I can't even think about it?
"Mr. Li Yi, that's right, after listening to the story of the old man Wang Xiaoyang, we are very sympathetic to his experience. In addition, after our detailed understanding, the Japanese have indeed committed obvious faults in the handling of this antique and violated the relevant laws of our country, so we are ready to unite all the compatriots participating in the exhibition to exert pressure on the Japanese side to return this precious cultural relic......"
