Chapter 456: Fully loaded

readx;??? Early the next morning, Augustus, who had two big dark circles under his eyes, smiled and invited Wu Di and Yan Ju to the big study full of antiques.

"Mr. Wu, let's hurry up and try to deal with the exchange as soon as possible, and then ......"

Wu Di smiled,

"Understood, you have other things to do. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, I don't think this list will take much time for you. ”

Augustus picked up the list handed over by Wu Di and sat down solemnly. He took out a thick book of materials from the drawer, and while browsing the list, he flipped through the materials and compared them, and the red pen in his hand marked the collection number written by Wu Di from time to time.

Wu Di glanced at it twice, turned around with a smile, copied his hands with great interest, admired the collections in the room one by one, and turned his head from time to time to whisper a few words to Yan Ju beside him.

As the minutes passed, the atmosphere in the study became more and more depressing, and at last, the baron's characteristic elegant voice sounded,

"Mr. Wu, I've finished reading it, and my opinions have been marked on it, thank you."

Wu Di picked up the list, and when he swept it, his brows furrowed, there were a total of five hundred and twenty cultural relics, and more than half of them were crossed by a red pen! And the 4,000 ordinary cultural relics written at the bottom have been greatly reduced to 1,000!

This old guy is so ruthless? Did he really think that what happened last night had not happened?

He picked up the blue pen and thought about making changes to the list, and after ten minutes, he pushed the changed list in front of Augustus.

Augustus took the list, took the red pen, looked at it with a frown for ten minutes, and then pushed it in front of Wu Di......

The two of them went back and forth three or four times, and they didn't say a word during the process. Yan Ju sat on the side and looked at the list that was drawn almost unrecognizable, and almost couldn't help but shoot the case several times, old guy, even if you don't think about what happened last night, Lao Tzu still has a back hand!

When Augustus once again pushed the changed list in front of Wu Di, Yan Ju couldn't help it, he glanced at Wu Di, and was about to throw the hole card of Eskenats, but he didn't expect Wu Di to smile at him and shake his head gently.

He took a deep breath and jerked to his feet. An old fox, a little fox, Lao Tzu can't understand it, can't you not read it?

Augustus glanced at Yan Ju, who got up and went to admire the antiques, smiled, and casually flipped through the thick catalog on the table, waiting for Wu Di to change the list.

The list passed faster and faster in the hands of the two men, and each time they changed less and less, at last, after an hour and a half, Augustus put down his red pen and said tiredly:

"Mr. Wu, this is my final bottom line."

Wu Di took the list he handed over, flipped it, gently erased a red cross with a blue pen, and handed it back with a smile.

"If that's the case, make a deal!"

Augustus looked at the red cross he had changed, shook his head with a wry smile, and stood up,

"I'm old, and I'm not as strong as you young people! That's it, Mr. Wu Di, congratulations on recovering a large number of precious cultural relics for your motherland. ”

Wu Di stood up, looked at the tired old man, and bowed deeply,

"Thank you, Monsieur Augustus, and I will take these pages back to my country as my most valuable collection. I think everyone who sees it will see the great concessions you have made, and your generosity will surely win you the friendship of all, once again with a deep thank you! ”

"Hahahaha, young man, I really don't want to and don't dare to spend it with you anymore. Do you know how scared I was just now, I was afraid that after I was dizzy on your list, you gently told me that Mr. Eskenats was still waiting for you, that David James was also sincerely inviting you, and that Bernard was also inviting you? Poussin, you should have his contact information too, right? ”

Wu Di smiled and shook his head,

"Mr. Augustus, you are really very good. Just now, these names did make countless circles in my mouth, but I also told myself again and again that such a precious manuscript must be handed over to someone who really likes it! So, we've agreed! ”

Augustus smiled and nodded, pulled open the drawer, and took out two lists,

"Mr. Wu, I heard that you are interested in setting up a private museum, and I would like to congratulate you first. There's nothing I can do to help, just consider these things to be donated to your future museum. ”

Wu Di took the list and saw the porcelain at the front at a glance, the blue and white twig pattern piercing ear vase of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, the white porcelain amphora of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the white-glazed Sakyamuni statue of Shakyamuni in the Zhangzhou kiln during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty......

"Mr. Yan Ju, this colorful fish algae pattern lid jar from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty is a gift from me to you, and I am very happy to be your friend."

Jiajing annual multicolored fish algae pattern lid jar! Yan Ju's face was about to laugh,

"Mr. Augustus, thank you so much, if you have the opportunity to go to Huaxia, I will definitely invite you to try our authentic Beijing cuisine! In other words, after coming to Europe for a few days, your so-called big meal made me lose five pounds! ”

"Hahahaha, it looks like you're going to continue to lose weight. Because it will take about two or three days for these things to be packed, what are you going to do next? If you want to soak in my treasure trove, I have no opinion......"

"Thank you, Mr. Augustus, for your kindness, I intend to go around London. The beautiful River Thames, the British Museum, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium are all places I've always wanted to visit. In addition, please rest assured, I will call China in a moment, and it is estimated that the manuscript will be delivered in a day or two. ”

Augustus nodded,

"In that case, you can wait a minute, I will call the museum and arrange for a personal reception for you, many of the collections will not be visible to you if you don't greet them in advance. Parry, you arrange a car, let Oviedo be the driver, and take Mr. Wu and them around London for two days. ”

After expressing their sincere gratitude once again, Wu Di and the others got into a business car, left this beautiful castle, and drove towards the city of London.

As the capital of the United Kingdom, London is not only the largest city and the largest seaport in Europe, but also one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe and one of the four world-class cities in the world.

The British Museum, located in Great Russell Square on the north side of New Oxford Street in London, is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world, with a collection of more than 13 million objects, and ranks among the top three museums in the world, along with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre in Paris.

The British Museum has more than 100 exhibition halls, of which Room 33 is a permanent exhibition hall dedicated to Chinese antiquities, and is one of only a few national exhibition halls in the museum, along with ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome and India.

The museum's collection of Chinese cultural relics covers the entire category of Chinese art, in a word, ancient stoneware, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Wei and Jin stone Buddhist scriptures, Tang and Song Dynasty calligraphy and paintings, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, etc., which mark the national treasures of the pinnacle of various cultures in Chinese history, can be seen here, and the categories are complete, so that the Forbidden City's Dean Han is full of jealousy but helpless every time he speaks.

An hour later, Wu Di's business car slowly drove into the parking lot reserved for museum employees, and a curly-haired young man was already waiting for them on the steps not far away.

"The owner of the divine painting "Hanjiang Sending Friends", the new owner of "The Flower of Death", the special appraiser of Huaxia, welcome, Mr. Wu Di. I'm Stephen. Naismith, I'm going to take you on a tour of the British Museum today, and I hope you have a great day. ”

The young man didn't wait for Wu Di to come up, he quickly greeted him, first gave him a big hug, and then smiled and patted him on the back.

"Mr. Stephen, you're being too polite. I would like to introduce you to a friend, who is also a special appraiser, Mr. Yan Ju, a distinguished professor and doctoral supervisor of Mizuki University, and I will trouble you later. ”

Yan Ju stepped forward and hugged Stephen and chatted affectionately. Oviedo, who drove them over, whispered to Wu Di:

"Mr. Wu, Stephen is the ** of Lord Baron, and his status in the museum is very high, and with him, you can see a lot of treasures that others can't see. Originally, he was supposed to rest at home today, but he would not refuse the Baron's arrangement......"

Wu Di was slightly moved, he didn't expect Augustus to arrange it so carefully! He patted Oviedo's broad shoulder vigorously and said with a smile:

"Thank you, I'll go over and thank you Mr. Augustus in two days!"

"I can see a lot of things that others can't see, but the more you do this, the more torturous it may be, because you are not allowed to take pictures here."

Stephen apparently heard their conversation and interjected with a smile.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, these eyes of mine are a state-of-the-art camera that records everything it sees! Strategist, you go with Mr. Orvieto and book a hotel, and let him go back first. ”

Wu Di and Yan Ju followed Stephen and walked down a long corridor towards the depths of the museum. The first thing they had to do was an exhibition room that was not open to the public, where there were about 1,000 precious Chinese national treasures. There are 10 rooms like this in the museum, which houses more than 23,000 precious cultural relics from China.

"Oh my God, what do I see? This is the Tang Dynasty facsimile of Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? ”

As soon as he entered the room, Yan Ju screamed. Stephen nodded and smiled:

"The Female Historian is the earliest surviving Chinese silk painting in the world, which is a milestone in the history of Chinese art, and now there are only two copies left in the world, and the other is in the Palace Museum in your country." (To be continued.) )
