Section 268 The British Crown

"That's a shame." Hearing Chen Rui's answer, Bern. Hakan said disappointedly.

Berne. Hakan's trip to Tortuga was a testament to the expectations of the French, who hoped that he would bring back to France the Mona Lisa, a national treasure (part 3), and the famous painting of the Three Dynasties, which rivaled the Mona Lisa.

For these two famous paintings, the French are willing to pay any price, even if they are willing to exchange all the Chinese cultural relics in the Louvre, and no French person will say a 'no'.

Obviously, Chen Rui's answer made Berne. Hakan was very disappointed, and he let the whole of France down.

It is difficult for the world to understand the special affection of the French for the Mona Lisa.

When the "Mona Lisa" was stolen, tens of millions of people were in pain, and the government designated that day as "National Disaster Day"; And when it is lost and regained, the whole country rejoices, and its pomp and circumstance is tantamount to the rebirth of the country.

At this time, Carlson. Harry returned to Chunhui Hall with Earl Hill, who had visited Runyuan.

The Earl of Hill sees Bern. Hakan looked disappointed and guessed Berne. Hakan came to Tortuga and certainly did not achieve his goal.

Earl Hill didn't say anything.

I sat down in my seat.

The three of them sat together and drank tea, none of them spoke, it was very quiet.

Each has something going through in his head.

Berne. Hakan was thinking about how to persuade Chen Rui to sell "Mona Lisa" (part 3) and "Three Dynasty Worship".

Chen Rui held the teacup, and the jade cup decorated with the stinging pattern rotated unconsciously in Chen Rui's hand, and through the paper-thin cup, you could see the big red robe tea leaves floating and sinking in the teacup.

Chen Rui sat sideways. Looking at the lotus leaves in the lotus pond in front of him, the sharp corners have been exposed. There is a dragonfly standing on the lotus leaf. On the shore of the lotus pond, rows of willow leaves have been pulled out of the branches, on the water, carp of various colors swim and play, and on the stone steps on the bank of the lotus pond not far from here, five huskies are using their front paws to reach into the water to play with the carp, playing happily.

Time. Chen Rui was a little stupid.

Earl Hill picked up the teacup, and the mist of the teacup curled up like a mist like a phantom, and his eyes lost focus, and he looked like he was groaning.

Suddenly, Earl Hill spoke, breaking the rare silence.

Earl Hill opened his mouth and said to Chen Rui, "Rui, is there any possibility that "Mona Lisa" (part 3) and "Three Dynasty Worship" will be sold? ”

Berne. Hakan picked up the teacup and put it to his lips, just about to drink tea. Hearing this, he put down the teacup again. His eyes looked at Chen Rui.

Chen Rui turned around, shifted the focus of his gaze from the lotus pond scenery not far away, looked at Count Hill, and said, "Count Hill, you are also very interested in "Mona Lisa" (part 3) and "Three Dynasty Worships"? ”

Earl Hill was not only a paleontologist, but also an erudite scholar, artist, collector.

In the family collection room of his Hill Manor, there is a large collection of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, bronzes, statues, books, paintings, furniture, ornaments, weapons, armor and so on.

There are works of art from all over the world, such as ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, etc.

The number is very large, there are more than 2,000 pieces, and among the more than 2,000 works of art in the collection, there are some fine works and masterpieces of famous artists.

It's like a small museum.

Chen Rui met Earl Hill during the auction of the Spanish shipwreck Lucky Star, and then accepted Earl Hill's invitation to be a guest at Earl Hill's estate, and had the privilege of admiring these exquisite and diverse works of art in the family collection room of Earl Hill's estate.

At that time, Chen Rui was also salivating at a Song Dynasty kiln Bafang ear bottle hidden in the family collection room of Earl Hill, and the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads, snake heads and sheep heads in the Old Summer Palace.

In the end, Count Hill presented the 12 zodiac animal heads, snake heads and sheep heads of the 12 zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace to Chen Rui.

"I don't think there's anyone in Europe at this time who isn't mad about Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa (Part 3) and The Three Dynasties." Unless he is blind, even if he is blind, I can guarantee that if you put this painting in front of the blind man's eyes, the blind man will open his eyes.

God knows, at this time, Europe has become crazy about these two paintings, and it feels like everyone is crazy.

As soon as you turn on the TV, the reports are 'Leonardo da Vinci', 'Mona Lisa' and 'Three Dynasty Worship', buy a random report on the street, no need to guess, the front page headline must be Leonardo da Vinci and his "Mona Lisa", "Three Dynasty Worship".

Parliament is no longer talking about budgets and elections. My life is filled with Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa, and the Three Dynasty Worship. I felt my head almost explode, my head was stuffed with Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa, and the Three Dynasty Worships," said Earl Hill after a pause in his voice and continued, "I am also very obsessed with these two paintings, I feel like Churchill saw the Mona Lisa in his later years, I can't control my trembling fingers, and my heart can't help but want to see these two paintings and have it."

However, whether it is the Mona Lisa (part 3) or the Three Dynasties, it is far from being something I can afford, and even if I sell the more than 2,000 pieces in my Hill estate and the manor's collection room, I may not be able to buy a corner of the Three Dynasties.

My family has always had a very good personal relationship with the Queen and the royal family.

The Queen has heard that I have a very good relationship with you, and has sent me to speak to you on behalf of the British royal family. ”

Chen Rui pondered in his heart for a while, nodded, and said, "The Three Dynasties worship is not for sale. ”

"In other words, there is a possibility that the Mona Lisa (part 3) will be sold." Earl Hill said.

The painting "Mona Lisa" is not only a "national treasure" in France, the pride of the French, but also in the United Kingdom, Italy, the hometown of the "Mona Lisa" and other European countries.

As mentioned earlier, Churchill, the great man of the century, could not control his trembling fingers when he had the privilege of touching the "Mona Lisa" in his later years; The Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher also had a soft spot for the Mona Lisa, and she had no chance of owning the original, so she collected four fakes.

Chen Rui nodded.

As the oldest royal family in Europe, the British royal family has experienced ten dynasties and more than 1,000 years since the Norman Dynasty in 1066.

Over the course of more than a thousand years, the British royal family has amassed a very large fortune that is unimaginably large. (To be continued......)
