The next day, Wu Di went to the casino for a walk, experimented with more than a dozen other ways to play, some lost and some won, and he found that the clairvoyant eye seemed to be a little out of step with the trend of the times for the strange gambling methods......
The efficiency of the military division was very high, and the contract was completed in one day, and the conclusion was that it was signed with confidence and boldness, and there was no problem. Wu Di listened to his advice, called 008, waved his pen, and went straight to Guatemala.
The day after they arrived in Guatemala City, Hu Zili's team arrived, and this guy still couldn't help but follow directly. Wu Di asked the military advisor to lead them to submit the application materials, while he himself communicated with Hu Zili about the company, and at the same time pondered whether to fly directly from here to Europe or return to China first.
"Xiao Wu, since there is such a thing, you should go to Europe first, you don't have to worry about family affairs, it's all good."
Master's voice was a little weak, but Wu Di didn't care. Should you fly to Europe first, because the annual antique salon in Barcelona has already begun, and there will be a large number of precious antiques from all over the world entering the market.
"Fifth brother, things are in trouble."
Before the military advisor could see anyone, the sparrow ran back all the way shouting.
"When we submitted the materials, the woman told us that she had checked and that someone had already submitted an application for that plot of land about two months ago, but she would try her best to fight for us and get a fair chance to compete."
"Two months ago? In other words, they are about to obtain the exploration rights of that area, so how can there be any chance of fair competition? Do you know which one it is? She didn't even mention it the last time she went, so there should be something wrong here. ”
"It's not just a problem! You didn't see that woman's face, fake, pity, if it weren't for the military advisor pulling it, I would have almost made a shoe print on her shit face. It's also good to taste the taste of shit luck! ”
"What about the military advisor? What did he say? ”
"He and the robot cat went with the translator to check it, and I don't know how long it will take to get news."
"It's not that simple, it's about getting to the bottom of it first and seeing who is joking with us......"
The military advisor walked in quietly with the robot cat,
"No need to touch it, it's the woman, Nina Ivanova. Fifth brother, how is this woman like a mad dog, biting people everywhere! Isn't it just that a deal has not been negotiated? ”
"She's a mad dog, and you don't know it......"
Wu Di carefully recalled the location of the Milky Way Golden Jade in the waterhole. As well as the geological features around it about ten meters, he said with a smile:
"That mine isn't that easy to find, let's leave her alone and see how long she wants to play."
"Fifth brother, that woman's family has a deep relationship in Guatemala, we should not act rashly, for the sake of today's plan, we can only wait, and wait until they can't find it and give up."
"Hmm. Arrange for you to fly directly to Barcelona with me immediately, don't leave a person here, and don't ask about those two areas at all. Let her be suspicious and suspicious alone. ”
Hu Zili came in a hurry and returned in disgrace, but he didn't run in vain, and finally found an opportunity to report to the boss in person......
Barcelona borders the Mediterranean Sea. It is the second largest city in Spain and the capital of the province of Barcelona in Catalonia, for more than 100 years. It has held two World Expos and one Olympic Games, and enjoys a high reputation in economy, trade, culture, tourism, sports, etc., and is known as the "flower of Europe".
Barcelona has a very developed cultural scene, with many concert halls, opera houses and well-known museums. Miró, El Salvador? Dalí, Anthony? The great names of Gaudí and other masters of modern and modern art have added countless brilliance to this temple of modern and modern art.
Every Thursday there is an antique flea market in the square of the famous Barcelona Cathedral, and every March, there is also an antique salon in Europe, the most important antiques fair in Europe.
The main purpose of Wu Di's trip is not this salon, but because this salon flows into the antique street of Barcelona those European art and Chinese antiques that are difficult to distinguish between real and fake.
In Barcelona's New Town, there are 73 antique shops on Antique Street alone, and there are also a few good shops on Aragon's Street and Dos de Maggie, not counting the dozens of galleries scattered throughout the city. Wu Di made a lot of money last time Florentine Antique Street, which was modeled after here, and this time he found the original and genuine, how could he not wantonly search it?
Near the bronze statue of Columbus Finger to the Sea in Port Barcelona, Wu Di and his entourage returned to the hotel after tasting Spain's famous dishes such as paella, boiled chicken with lobster, braised rabbit and snails and boiled beans with sausages.
"Fifth brother, why don't you bring some gifts back to your sisters-in-law? Paseo de Gracia is a famous shopping street with the highest rents in Spain, even more than Madrid's Cenano Street. ”
"The rent is so expensive, wouldn't it be waiting to be slaughtered when you go shopping? Besides, our family is making jewelry ourselves, and the two of them can open a store if they have a lot of bags, and they have to try to buy clothes and shoes, and there is no shortage of watches, what else can they buy? ”
The fact is that after the two girls knew that Wu Di was going to Barcelona, they strictly ordered him not to buy things indiscriminately, especially Meng Yao, and laughed at his eyes and tastes. Of course, it seems needless to say what specific body parts he uses to fight.
"The variety of European art is relatively homogeneous compared to that of China, after all, it has been called the land of barbarians for many years. However, a large number of paintings and sculptures by genius masters that have emerged in modern times are very famous. In addition, there are some antique watches, silverware, jewelry, and furniture that are also collectible, and the main purpose of our visit this time is their oil paintings, and there is also to recycle some of our ancestors' things. Get a good night's sleep today, pour jet lag, and tomorrow, start with Antique Street and sweep! ”
The weather on the second day was very good, with a few puffy clouds floating leisurely in the blue sea sky, and a slight touch of the Mediterranean humid cool sea breeze, which made the whole city seem to be full of life. Taking a taxi directly from the hotel to Antique Street in the new city, Wu Di began his second trip to Europe.
Barcelona's antique streets are divided into small streets, which come together to have a market feel, and at the largest entrance, the first is a three-storey gallery with nearly ten exhibition halls, which is said to be very well-known throughout Europe.
Wu Di did not have any special preference for those Fauvist, abstract, and impressionist oil paintings, and even thought that they were far less beautiful than Chinese ink paintings. But even so, I have to admit that there are some rare treasures in these paintings, whether it is the power of the pen or the artistic conception, it will not be worse than the giants in Chinese history.
In the past, he would have swept through a gallery like this, but this time he was also on a mission to collect tens of millions of dollars of antiques, so he planned to leave it alone.
Several exhibition halls on the first floor are mainly works of some modern cutting-edge painters, with prices ranging from a few hundred euros to tens of thousands of euros.
He browsed all the way and stopped in front of the ink paintings. Well, it's interesting, the pen power and artistic conception are in place, and it seems that some Western techniques have been integrated into the traditional painting style, which can be regarded as an innovation. It's just that this author, as if he had never heard of it, is a newcomer?
After looking at the painting and then at the price, his brow furrowed. A work of this level, if it is a little famous in China, should be able to sell for more than 100,000 yuan, and the price here is only 1,000 euros! It can be seen that art will depreciate if it leaves the soil in which it takes root.
The works on the second floor are more than a notch higher than the first floor in terms of price, and the lowest ones cost almost 200,000 euros, and he even saw two Pierre here? Renoir, George? Braque's works, with a price tag of more than 10 million, couldn't help but shake his head.
Objectively speaking, this price still reflects the true value of the work, but for him, it feels a little worthless, because he lacks a sense of national belonging, and no matter how good things are, in his eyes, they are just a pile of banknotes that will not move.
After a general glance at the prices of various paintings, he has a vague orientation to the current mainstream market. It seems that these well-known galleries are just as he judged, they are big shopping malls, and if you want to buy bargains, you still have to go to the flea shop, which is the paradise for picking up leaks.
Wu Di consulted the clerk and learned that those well-known works were not for sale. He sighed a little regretfully, otherwise he would have bought a few random pictures and the bet on participating in the competition would have been made. However, the current situation is understandable, the value of such things can only be accurately determined through auctions, how can they be sold here casually?
There are very few works on the third floor, but even more amazing, there are Picasso, Van Gogh, and Jaon? Miró, El Salvador? The works of Dalí and others, however, do not have a specific price, and are apparently only for people to see, not for sale.
Wu Di approached a sketch of Picasso and looked at it twice, and couldn't help but have a question in his heart, can this be sure to be Picasso's work?
At this time, an old Spanish man who was also a visitor saw the question in his eyes, smiled and pointed to the English introduction under the painting, and the military advisor glanced at it and said:
"Fifth brother, the works here are too precious, this gallery only exhibits the original works for a short time from time to time, and usually hangs imitations and photos of some art students."
Wu Di nodded, hurriedly browsed, and walked downstairs.
When he passed by the first floor, he saw two people pointing at the place where he had just seen the Huaxia painting, and there seemed to be a faint sound of argument. (To be continued.) )
