000034 Oil painting

Xiao Yi has been traveling to Europe for almost 1 month, and now his German level is good, when reading Hans's diary, except for a few words, he can translate smoothly, which makes his translation speed greatly accelerated, and now he has completed the translation of two diaries.

These diaries mainly record Hans's experiences in France and his translation of French materials, which are somewhat messy, including some diaries of Pierre and Ray, as well as some other French materials, anyway, all of which were translated by Hans and piled up in his diaries.

Through these diaries, Xiao Yifei first thoroughly clarified the inheritance of space.

After Osiris's death, the space was left in exile until the Roman invasion of Egypt, where the bracelet was brought back to Europe by a Roman soldier, bought by a French merchant, and then held by the Grand family. Hans suspects that the merchant who bought the bracelet is the ancestor of the Grand family. This middle space lost its inheritance, and the bracelet became an ancestral relic to be preserved.

Later, for some reason, the space fell into the hands of the Louis Latour family, and it happened that the space was rediscovered in a certain generation, and then the space became the place where he transported goods, and began to explore the function of space.

It wasn't until Napoleon attacked Egypt and Egyptian fever appeared in France that the Latour family re-attached importance to this string of Egyptian antiquities left by their ancestors. At this time, the Latour family was now a wealthy family in the local area, so they began to use the records of their ancestors to start planting grapes that were the most expensive at that time and making wine.

After Champollion deciphered the Egyptian script, they also took advantage of this style to basically decipher the contents of the marble tablet. So their Louis Latour wine estate soon became famous, earning a great fortune, and some of the gold coins in the space were left by them at that time. But then because of the war, the bracelet was interrupted again.

In Pierre's generation, he accidentally got the bracelet left by his ancestors, and stumbled upon the secret of the bracelet, so he liked art, and instead of inheriting the family vineyard, he left Burgundy with the bracelet and settled in Paris. In Paris, he used the gold coins in the space to live a wealthy life and devote himself to collecting his favorite art. Pierre, who loved oil paintings, confessed the secret of space to his son, Louis who was killed by Hans, before he died. Thunder. Latour.

And after Hans killed Ray, he soon discovered the space because of his injury, he didn't have any special hobbies, but he also sorted out all the things in the space once. Hans then used the gold coins and ordinary works of art in the space to hand in his own gains, so his merits were outstanding.

Now Hans's diary records that he began to use the gold coins in the space to bribe his superiors, believing that France was too dangerous and wishing to be transferred to a relatively safe country. Hans began to express thoughts of his life in his diary.

Secondly, Xiao Yifei knew the origin of these things in the space.

For example, the gold coins in the space are not only collected by the ancestors of the Louis Latour family, but also by the Grand family. When Pierre used the Grand family's diary in the space, he found that the Grand family had buried a batch of gold coins near the castle, so they went to buy the land and unearthed the gold coins, so that he and his son had so much money to live a rich life and buy art everywhere.

Pierre was wealthy and fond of painting, so he rearranged the space and bought a large number of paintings, both famous and not-so. He also sponsored many painters who were in decline at the time, and also left some of their works.

For example, Napoleon has puzzled Xiao Yifei for a long time, this work is indeed a fake, but his copy is somewhat famous, it is Fontaine. Latour.

Fontaine is considered a transitional figure between Romanticism and Impressionism, and is not very famous. But his good friends are very famous, and among them the paintings are worth tens of millions of dollars, such as Manet, Monet, and Renoir. In addition, the novelist Zola was also his friend. According to the sources, Fontaine was relatively downtrodden and not well known to the public, but at that time he could only make a living by copying the works of the Louvre.

Pierre's diary says that because Fontaine had Latour in his name, he was interested. At that time, Fontaine was too bad, and he painted some still life sketches and the like, just like a student who had just learned oil painting, painting some fruits and bottles on the table.

At that time, Pierre had just arrived in Paris, and he urgently needed someone to introduce him to the art scene in Paris, so Pierre sponsored Fontaine, and by the way, he also met his friends, such as Monet and Manet. At that time, Pierre got a lot of works from them. Through them, I came into contact with more painters in Paris, and finally completely integrated into the Parisian art scene.

Pierre was very fond of Napoleon, so he paid Fontaine to copy this painting of Napoleon crossing the Alps, as well as the "Coronation of Napoleon" that was rolled up and stored on a wall. Of course, "Portrait of Napoleon in the Office" was also invited by him to Fontaine. Latour copied a copy, but the painting was hidden in that pile of oil paintings, and it was later discovered by Xiao Yifei.

In addition, Xiao Yifei also found a list of collectibles left by Hans that he had obtained, that is, those things that were kept in the utility room, most of them were European historical gold and silver objects, and a small number of Chinese artifacts, Hans could not figure out the name.

Xiao Yifei also found a German ** map, on the map, a circle was drawn at the junction of Germany and the Czech Republic, and a cross was made in the central part of Germany, Xiao Yifei guessed that these were the places where Hans knew that Nazi treasures were buried. It's a pity that with just such a little information on the map, Xiao Yifei definitely can't accurately locate the location of the treasure, and he still doesn't know the ownership of the Nazi treasure after it is discovered, so he has no intention of looking for the treasure for the time being.

Now that the German learning is basically over, he is ready to start learning French, because Hans must have given up a lot of content when translating the diaries of Pierre and Ray, in case these contents involve the use of the Osiris space, because he gave up it because it was useless to Hans, then Xiao Yifei would not be at a loss.

As for the remaining eight diaries, Xiao Yifei believes that he can complete the translation in two to three months, and then he will have a thorough understanding of the experience of an SS officer in World War II, which is interesting to think about.

When Xiao Yifei took lawyer Justin to the company's headquarters in Stuttgartnergau.

Old Leonard was delighted.

"Xiao, you haven't given me a picture of the silver candlestick yet?"

This old man, should he have such a good memory?

"Let's not talk about candlesticks, I helped you find a big business in Nagao."

Leonard's eyes lit up: "Today is really my lucky day, Shaw, what a big business." ”

"Didn't I say to help you inquire some time ago, I heard good news."

"Really, oh, you really are my lucky god."

"Don't be too happy just yet. It's not jewelry, it's a painting. ”

"I forgot to tell you, because the auction of watches and clocks was very successful, I am now promoted, and the oil painting department is now under my control, and the gold coin department Marx you know is also under my control."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, then I'll let someone from the oil painting department come over now."

"Don't be busy, since they are under your control, then I will go directly to you for this matter. You look at this document first. ”

Justin handed over a document, Leonard looked at the non-disclosure agreement, stunned for a moment, and then carefully read the contents, to the effect that he couldn't tell anyone else the whole thing.

Leonard didn't sign it, stared at Xiao Yifei with the document, and asked, "Xiao, what the hell is going on." ”

"Leonard, we've always had a great time working together, but this matter has to be cautious, I have to be careful."

Leonard looked at the document again, but asked for secrecy and no more requirements, thought about it, and signed the document.

"Xiao, let's talk about it now."

Xiao Yifei took out the tablet, opened a picture, and handed it to Leonard.

Leonard glanced at it and immediately became unsettled: "Shaw, this is not ......"

"Yes, I'm surprised, but it is."

"Shaw, do you have any other photos?"

"There are detailed photos, they are all inside, you can see for yourself."

"To be honest, I'm not an expert in oil painting, and I can only look to our experts."

"Yes, but you still have to sign a non-disclosure agreement."

Then two experts from the oil painting department of Nagao Company were called in, and after inexplicably signing a confidentiality agreement, they saw the photos.

"Isn't this a sunflower? Van Gogh? ”

"It's not going to be fake again."

"I've never seen this one."

"I don't think there has been a living life."

The two of them leaned over to the small tablet and muttered.

After a while, they spoke: "We initially think that it may be genuine, and the possibility is quite large. But you also have to see the painting itself, and you also have to take it back for physical and chemical identification. ”

"Yes, the paintings are in China, so you have to go to China with me."

"No problem, for now, it's worth the trip."

Leonard thought about it for a moment and made a decision: "Okay, I'll lead the team myself." ”

"I think you'd better bring two more specialists."

Leonard was stunned: "Why?" ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and did not answer.

Leonard immediately guessed something, and the team grew again.

"In addition, you must sign a tighter confidentiality contract."

"What do you mean?"

Justin's lawyer handed over another document, which was more detailed than the one just now, and could be regarded as a contract for the commission of appraisal. According to the contract, Xiao Yifei will take out 10 oil paintings and entrust Nagao's oil painting experts to appraise them at a price of 300,000 euros.

This price is much higher than the price of having an expert appraise it. However, the high price did not come without a price, and the contract stipulated that Nagao and the experts could not not tell anyone about it, but also could not say how many paintings they had authenticated in China, let alone reveal the authorship of the paintings.

Leonard clearly felt the weight of this document, which mentioned the number of oil paintings 10, and the cost of appraisal was far higher than the normal standard. Thinking of "Sunflowers", Leonard clearly felt that the hundreds of millions of euros of lottery tickets were smashed on his head, and he just needed results to secure his position and show the board of directors that he was capable of making more money for them, which was simply a pie-in-the-sky thing.

After Nagao's legal counsel read the contract, both the expert team and Leonard signed a confidentiality agreement, and the next step was to apply for a visa to China.
