Chapter 725: Porterberry Road Market

Li Yi's trip to Europe has actually been in his plan all along, because he had promised Lu Ningshuang to pick her up and return to China together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The real surprise was the last time he flew to Paris to get the acupuncture bronze figure back, and he was going to hold François for a while.

However, because of that trip to Europe, even counting the newly picked up "Moonlit Night", he exchanged a total of four famous paintings, which suddenly made his resources a little stretched.

Moreover, after deciding to open a museum with great fanfare, Mo Jinxuan, Zhong Haoqing and others all suggested to him that at present, those ancient Western paintings in his hands should not be exchanged as much as possible, because if those things can be exhibited in his museum, the benefits will definitely be far greater than what they can exchange back.

Li Yi also recognizes this very much, not to mention that a single "Mona Lisa" is enough to make the world collecting community crazy, and there are a few pieces of Little Japan, which are estimated to attract a lot of tourists to him.

But in this way, he doesn't have anything in his hands, so this guy naturally took the idea of those antique shops and galleries in Europe, although he said that he had already gotten back a lot of good things from them, but where did it go? Those storefronts, he's afraid that he only ran one or two percent, right?

Moreover, this guy has another plan that he hasn't had time to implement, that is, there is no reason to only pit in one place in Europe, and the Chinese cultural relics of Da Lao Mei and Xiao Japan are also among the best, but he has never been to it once!

After less than half a month, Li Yi came to Paris again, but the weather in Paris has not changed much, but there are a lot more people on the streets, and many of them are Chinese.

"You've arrived? Then you can rest in the hotel first, I won't be able to finish this experiment until tomorrow morning. I booked a plane ticket for tomorrow afternoon, and I should be able to arrive before dinner, you are alone. ”

The reason why Li Yi did not fly directly to Bordeaux this time was because Lu Ningshuang was also preparing to come to Paris. The reason is simple, Christmas is coming, and one of the biggest price reductions in Paris is coming.

People are really a strange animal sometimes, take the matter of discounted shopping, obviously she is not short of that money, obviously many times the discounted items are not her favorite items, but she is still happy to do it, and she falls into this same pit again and again.

This point, whether rich or not, poor or rich, is more or less expressive. Not to mention the discount season of famous shopping malls such as Hong Kong, New York, and Paris, a domestic Double 11 is enough to perform vividly.

Although I bought a lot of useless things every time, although I yelled and chopped my hands every time, I still had to shout and pounce on them every time, which made people a little helpless.

This is especially evident in women, even if some people do not have this hobby, it is mostly because the conditions are really not allowed, or there is no opportunity for her to discover her hobby in this area.

Lu Ningshuang is a woman, and she is also the kind of woman who is rich, free, young and beautiful, so she is no exception.

But Lu Ningshuang is okay, although she also buys it, but many times she focuses on participation, in Li Yi's opinion, she may value this warm atmosphere more. But even if it's not, it doesn't matter, who is he Li Yi? That's the Lord who picks up any stone and is worth hundreds of millions! It's all about getting married, it's almost their family, so why do you care about buying some small things?

Buy, buy what you like, buy what you like! She doesn't like to buy it herself, he still wants to buy it for her! This whole day, there is less gathering and more separation, how can you go if you don't make up for it here?

It's just that before accompanying Lu Ningshuang to shop, he was going to go out for a walk first, he also had something to buy, and he was much hungrier than Lu Ningshuang, and he really had nothing in his hands!

Li Yi arrived in Paris at exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, he specially booked this ticket to go around before meeting Lu Ningshuang, and this time he was not going to stay in Paris, he was not even prepared to stay in France, Europe is so big, so many countries, he can't just pull France and make a disaster, right?

If you want to talk about the more famous antique markets in Europe, there are really a lot. For example, the antique street in Amsterdam, the antique street in Barcelona, the antique salon in the fine sand area of Brussels, and the antique market in London are all very good places to find treasures.

For the average collector, although there are many antique markets, not every place is suitable for scavenging. Because some antique shops have been in business for decades or even generations, even with Li Yi's ability, there is basically nothing to be missed when encountering this, let alone them.

However, there are not many markets for this kind of store after all, and even if he encounters this kind of store, Li Yi still has perspective to rely on, so the itinerary he chose this time is mainly based on the near, and the closer the better.

After looking around on the map, London and Brussels are not far from Paris, although London is separated by a strait, but if you take a plane, it is much more convenient than Brussels, so Li Yi didn't bother much, so he decided to go to London!

There are three of London's more famous antique markets, one is the Porterrow Road Market, where antiques from almost every country can be seen. the second is the Camtown aisle market, which deals mostly with small things, and only a few operate Chinese porcelain; The third is the Bomonds Market, which is much smaller than the above two, with only twenty or thirty stalls.

In addition, there are several large antique markets around London, such as the twice-monthly Campton Park Market, the weekly Sandton Park Market, and countless flea markets, which are all good places to pick up for treasures.

Li Yi's main target this time is the Porterow Road Market, firstly because it is relatively large, and secondly because it is more concentrated in galleries. As for the above-mentioned most of the shops that have been in business for a long time, he didn't pay attention to it at all, who is he, he is an expert in picking up leaks that can even squeeze oil out of stones!

The Porterow Road Market is known as the world's largest antique market, but for Li Yi, who has been tested by Panjiayuan, Liulichang, and Yangcheng Xiguan Antique Market for a long time, this is also a joke.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Li Yi arrived at the market on Porterow Road, and it was only two or three hours before the market closed, but he didn't care, didn't he have a whole day tomorrow? Besides, if he really wanted to be fast, even if it was only an hour, it would be almost enough.

The first thing he visited was a large gallery, which had an exhibition area of almost 200 square meters and a lot of traffic. However, most of these people are tourists, pointing around, but no one is paid for anything.

Li Yi can't get up quickly if there are too many people, after all, they are all Western oil paintings, and he doesn't have that level to pick up leaks with his eyesight alone, and he always has to touch them one by one to know. But he's not in a hurry, picking up this thing, sometimes it depends on casting a wide net, sometimes it's pure luck, anyway, this time he is not greedy, and if he can pick up one or two, he will explain the past.

One by one, I looked at them one by one, touched them one by one, and soon, more than half an hour passed.

Looking at this exhibition hall and gaining nothing, Li Yi was about to change the exhibition hall, when he suddenly saw a group of people around the counter as if arguing about something, so he went over and took a look curiously, but he didn't expect this look, but he really saw something.

Surrounding the counter was a group of Japanese tourists, three men and two women, who, judging by their broken English and behavior, were not here to buy a painting, but to sell a work to a gallery.

According to themselves, they bought this work at a small flea market nearby, and when they were about to go back to the hotel, they found that the frame was too big and too inconvenient to carry, so they wanted to dispose of it.

Li Yi was happy when he heard it, leave this to the ghost, the frame is big, won't he take the painting out and take it away? But these people do look like tourists, so they should not know where to be fooled, and they bought this painting in a ghost's mind, and then found out that they were fooled, and regretted it, so they thought about making up a story to make a move.

Li Yi thought about it, the owner of this gallery is not stupid, and it is like not listening to it at all. However, to Li Yi's surprise, he did not directly refuse to accept it, but offered the other party a price, but this price was far lower than the price when these Japanese bought the paintings, so the two sides were bargaining, because there were more people, so it looked like a dispute.

Li Yi didn't know this painting, but since the gallery owner was willing to accept it, it proved that it did have a certain collection value, and the frame was indeed old enough, so he was ready to use the spirit card to see if he could cut off a small beard, after all, if he opened a Western museum, it would not be the same thing to just hang a few famous paintings bare!

Since there is a picture frame, then before using the spirit card, it must be seen through, but I didn't expect it to be this look, and it really showed him something strange.

There was something behind the painting, but it wasn't a painting, but a slightly yellowed piece of letterhead with a series of words written on it.

Li Yi's English is not very good, this letterhead is very sloppy, and many European language families use these 26 letters, so Li Yi can't even determine what language this is for a while.

However, since this letter paper was solemnly hidden behind an oil painting, there should be some secret......

Li Yi's mind suddenly appeared that the bank account number that allowed him to get 32 oil paintings at one time, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, wow, if he could do it again, it would be a real hair! (To be continued.) )
