Chapter 900 Exchange

"You're really good at talking, God, why don't you make me twenty years younger?"

Elizabeth Qiubo turned, her face actually showed a hint of redness, and the sincere expression on Ye Tian's face when she patted her ass successfully made the lady believe it, "Ye, I'm not that old, am I?" Don't call me Auntie, call me Sister Windsor! ”

Although the woman in front of her was a little self-inflicted, she was very straightforward, Ye Tian looked at her well, and smiled at the moment: "Okay, dear Sister Windsor, I don't know when I will see that artwork from China?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a Chinese who has no interest." Elizabeth pursed her lips and said, "Anytime, but Ye, is the artwork you said more attractive than me?" ”

"Of course not, the artwork represents the history of the past, and you, Sister Windsor, are ready-made works of art."

Don't want money, Ye Tian will not be stingy, if the residual picture is true, Ye Tian still needs this woman who has a lot of influence in the UK to help him exchange, now is not the time to offend her.

"That's pretty much it, I've asked them to pick it up, and you'll see it soon." After hearing Ye Tian's words, Elizabeth laughed happily, she didn't really have affection for Ye Tian, she was just teasing this old friend's son.

While the two were talking, a middle-aged white man walked into the office, on his right hand, carrying a silver lockbox, and said, "Princess Windsor, the things are here, is this gentleman in need of appreciation?" ”

"Still a princess?" The middle-aged man's words made Ye Tianduo glance at Elizabeth, this kind of title has disappeared in China for hundreds of years.

"Ye Tian, this is the deputy director of Jacox, who is in charge of the specific affairs of the museum, and you are thanks to his help." Elizabeth introduced the middle-aged man to Ye Tian.

"Princess Windsor is polite, royals have the right to view the museum's collections at any time."

Britain is a representative country with a constitutional monarchy, and the bourgeoisie holds the legislative power through parliament, and the basic principles of "legal supremacy" and "limited royal power" established by them constitute the political basis of British constitutional politics.

In the United Kingdom, the king is the head of state, the supreme justice officer, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the "supreme leader" of the Anglican Church, but the real power is actually in the cabinet, and the royal family cannot actually interfere in all related matters.

Of course, the royal family has been compensated for the relinquishment of royal power, they have the most prestigious social status, and all British citizens are proud to receive royal titles, and it is also one of the privileges of the royal family to consult the artefacts of the British Museum.

"Princess Windsor, take a rest first......"

Compared with Ye Tian, Deputy Director Jacox's words and deeds are undoubtedly much more gentlemanly, and after beckoning someone to bring Windsor a cup of coffee, he carefully put the lockbox on the table and said: "This is a very precious cultural relic in the British Museum, please be careful when appreciating it." ”

"Of course, Director Jacox, my father is a very experienced collector, and I was commissioned by him to look at this collection!"

After hearing Jacox's words, Ye Tian laughed noncommittally, as early as when the other party entered the room, he already knew that the fragment in this lockbox was part of the "Push Back Map", because in this fragment, there was also that kind of palpitating qi.

According to Ye Tian's guess, the so-called pictures predicting the future on "Tui Bei Tu" were just redrawn by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang on that unknown magic weapon, and the later pictures were separated, perhaps just to cover up the existence of that magic weapon.

After taking out a pair of snow-white gloves and putting them on, Ye Tian opened the unlocked lockbox, and Jacox, who was on the side, nodded slightly, from Ye Tian's demeanor, he could see that this was a person with experience in art collection.

"Huh? How is it still incomplete? ”

Turning over the fragment, Ye Tian's brows couldn't help frowning deeply, because he found that this "Tui Bei Tu", which was only seven or eight pages long and full of various drawings, could not match the half of the scroll he had gotten.

This volume of remnants should be the second half of the entire "Tui Bei Tu", and what Ye Tian got before was the middle part, that is to say, if he wants to collect all the "Tui Bei Tu", he must find the cover page of "Tui Bei Tu", otherwise there are still defects.

Of course, since he saw it, Ye Tian would not let go of this half of the fragment, and after pretending to identify it for a while, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at Jacox, and said: "Your museum's preservation of cultural relics is really admirable, such an inconspicuous fragment is actually so well preserved?" ”

Ye Tian's tone seemed to be praising the British Museum, but he was sneering in his heart, the British Museum has tens of millions of cultural relics, and he doesn't have the energy to analyze every collection.

And some parts of this fragment of "Tui Bei Tu" even have dust that has not been wiped clean, apparently they were only after being notified by Princess Elizabeth that they simply did some maintenance after digging it out of the vast classics.

It can be seen that the British Museum does not attach much importance to this fragment, Ye Tian also has a bit of a bottom in his heart, and immediately said: "Director Jacox, you know, my father is a collector of Chinese art, he used to include a part of this fragment, and now he wants them to be combined into one and become a complete work of art, I wonder if your museum can fulfill my father's wish?" ”

"Mr. Ye, this ...... I'm so embarrassed! ”

Jacox had a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "There is no precedent for our museum to donate artwork to individuals, not to mention that this album is so beautiful, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill your father's wish!" ”

In fact, before Ye Tianlai, Elizabeth expressed Song Weilan's meaning to Jacox, that is, someone is willing to exchange a Picasso painting for this picture fragment from China.

Who was Picasso? In the minds of Europeans, he is unmatched by any artist of all ages, let alone this unsigned catalogue, and the British Museum is naturally willing to make a deal.

What's more, Picasso is a famous painter in modern times, so most of the cultural relics are looted from all over the world in the British Museum, and there is not much of his collection, which is the main reason why Song Weilan dared to exchange tickets with her son.

Of course, as a temple of world art, the British Museum naturally refuses to admit that it has taken advantage of itself, so Jacox will find all kinds of reasons, that is, he wants Ye Tianxian to propose an exchange.

"Still the album? Still beautiful? Nice fart, you don't even know what this thing is! ”

After hearing Jacox's words, Ye Tian couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in his heart, the painting style on this fragment is very clumsy, whether it is a character or a scene, there are only a few brushstrokes, relatively speaking, those forged "Push Back Pictures" in later generations can be called "exquisite".

"That's a shame that my father wanted to exchange a modern painting of Picasso from his collection for your museum."

Ye Tian showed a regretful expression on his face, spread his hands and said, "That Picasso painting is already on the plane, it's a pity, Mr. Jacox, is there no other way?" ”

"Already on the plane?"

Jacox's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "No...... No, Mr. Ye, we can understand your father's pursuit of art, and it is not completely impossible. ”

"Oh, so how can I bring this fragment back?"

A smile appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, "Mr. Jacox, you must know that if it weren't for my father's desire to make the broken things one, he wouldn't have taken out Mr. Picasso's oil painting!" ”

"Art is priceless, and we can't use it in the name of exchange."

Speaking of foreigners, foreigners are still much more direct than Chinese, when they heard that Picasso's oil painting was already on the plane, Jacox directly tore through the disguise and said: "We can do it another way, your father needs to donate the Picasso oil painting to the British Museum in his own name, and we can also use the name of returning cultural relics to hand over this album to you, do you think this is okay?" ”

"Isn't it an exchange yet? Foreigners are also very hypocritical. ”

Ye Tian pursed his lips slightly, but a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Of course, Mr. Jacox, the oil paintings will arrive in London in more than an hour, I think there must be an appraiser in your museum who appreciates Picasso's paintings, and we can complete the donation ceremony today." ”

"Okay, as you wish, I'll go find someone to draft the relevant documents!"

Although Jacox had some doubts about Ye Tian's urgency, those slight doubts disappeared when he thought that the museum was about to include a Picasso work, not to mention that he also had the album appraised, and the appraisal result was that the album did not have much collection value except for the age.

It's just that due to the tight time, Jacox is just a picture album that people can identify from the perspective of art, and if he has carefully studied the materials used in the album, he will be surprised, because those papers have never appeared in this world.

More than an hour later, Zhou Xiaotian's flight also landed at the London airport.

When he arrived at the British Museum with Picasso's oil painting and another third of the fragments of "Pushing Back", several senior British art experts were already waiting in that office.
