"I understand very well and I promise never to divulge the artifacts listed on the list." Chen Rui nodded and said.

Chen Rui can carry it clearly.

It is very clear that the Chinese artifacts listed on the list are very sensitive, to China, to the British royal family.

You must know that the cultural relics listed on this list have a weight to exchange for the "Mona Lisa" (part 3), which are not ordinary Chinese cultural relics, each of them is a treasure, a precious cultural relic, and even a Chinese national treasure, a rare treasure.

Moreover, there are three main sources of cultural relics listed on the list. First, in 1860, the British and French troops looted the Old Summer Palace and Yanjing.

More than 1.5 million cultural relics were plundered from the Old Summer Palace, and a large number of rare treasures were plundered overseas, and the French writer Hugo at that time said: "Even if all the treasures of Notre Dame in our country are added together, they cannot be compared with this grand and magnificent Oriental Museum."

After the Forbidden City was looted, more than half of the palace collection was lost, and valuables were looted.

The British army once donated some of the cultural relics looted in the Old Summer Palace and Yanjing in 1860 to Queen Victoria at that time.

Most of the artifacts listed on the list come from here.

In the second part, from 1900 to 1949, foreign scholars, including explorers, museum curators, university professors, etc., came to China to explore, buying cultural relics directly from China at low prices or taking away them for free. For example, Stein, the most famous British explorer, bought Dunhuang documents and ancient Buddhist paintings from Wang Daoist. There are also people who excavate ancient ruins directly in China.

Part III. Foreign collectors go directly to China to acquire cultural relics at low prices.

Part II. The third part of the artifacts lost to Britain went to the treasury of the British royal family.

Whether it was the plundering of the Old Summer Palace and Yanjing in 1860. It is also the exploration of archaeology by foreign scholars, and the acquisition of cultural relics by foreign collectors directly in China at low prices.

The loss of these artifacts to England, and finally to the treasury of the British crown, is very certain to be illegal, and it is illegal to plunder through the guò war, or indirectly, in disguise.

Therefore, the artifacts listed on the list are very sensitive.

An example. When the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace appeared in the auction house, they were protested by the Chinese government, government and Chinese, causing strong repercussions in China.

Even Christie's paid a heavy price for the auction of rabbit and rat heads, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage issued a document requiring the national cultural relics departments to strictly review the cultural relics declared by Christie's and its entrusted agencies for export.

The Chinese cultural relics listed on the list are much more valuable than the bronze statues of the heads of the 12 zodiac animals in terms of artistic value, cultural value, and appreciation value.

Earl Hill nodded. He took out a stack of A4 paper lists of cultural relics from the black briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Chen Rui.

The list was sent by fax.

The British royal family in order to make this list. Overnight, someone was sent to count the Chinese cultural relics in the treasure house.

Chen Rui took over the list of cultural relics, which was very thick, about more than 100 pages.

Chen Rui turned the first page of the list of cultural relics.

A4 paper color page.

At the top of the first page are several very clear color pictures of a plate from the front, side, bottom.

What is very strange is that the glaze of this porcelain plate is covered with yellow and black cracks, the cracks are large and small, long and short, thick and thin, curved and straight, and the shapes are different, some are like caviar, some are like willow leaves, some are like crab claws, look carefully, and find that the bubbles in the glaze are fine like small water droplets, which are all over the inner and outer walls of the utensils or the inner and outer bodies.

In addition, in the pictures of the front and bottom of the guò, it is found that the mouth is exposed with purple fetal bones, and the part of the foot that is exposed is iron-brown in color.

"Golden Wire Iron Wire", "Gathering Beads and Gathering Balls", "Purple Iron Feet".

Even if Chen Rui is an outsider, he knows what this is, a famous kiln in the porcelain world.

Historically, porcelain has been beautiful with its exquisiteness, crystal moisturizing, and fresh color, and it is a fine product, while Duge kiln porcelain is beautiful with the defects of the scattered surface and irregular cracks of gold wires, and is endowed with a kind of pursuit of beauty by the literati, called defective beauty, which is the highest level of aesthetics.

Tanmei to the extreme, will pursue a kind of morbid defective beauty, Ge kiln porcelain with its defective beauty by the past dynasties countless dignitaries and nobles, the royal fanatical pursuit.

Chen Rui's eyes looked at the bottom of the picture.

Song Ge kiln green glazed begonia flower pot.

Chen Rui defined this piece of kiln porcelain as a treasure.

Not only is it of extremely high artistic and appreciative value to satisfy people's pursuit of 'defective beauty' and 'sick beauty', but also its rarity, there are only about 100 pieces in the world.

Obviously, Chen Rui did not set the exchange target on this 'brother kiln porcelain'.

Although Ge kiln porcelain is scarce, only more than 100 pieces, it can still be purchased.

In fact, Chen Rui's cultural relics acquisition team auctioned a piece of Ge kiln porcelain at Christie's auction in New York, and the Ge kiln plum blossom wash cost more than 40 million.

Chen Rui turned the second page.

This is a yuan, blue and white jar, yuan, blue and white peony cloud dragon pattern jar.

With this shape, size, condition, and exquisite ornamentation, there is no problem at all with breaking 100 million

Chen Rui continued to scroll down.

When I turn to page 57.

"This is" Chen Rui's head slammed, his eyes widened, his expression was dull, and he looked at the pictures on the color page and the line of words under the color page blankly, with an incredible expression on his face.

How could it be!

How could this be that this piece is here!!

"Gotta get it." Chen Rui couldn't suppress the desire to have it in his heart, and almost every cell in his body was trembling

More than a dozen art appraisers from both Chen Rui and Count Hill assessed the Mona Lisa (Part 3) at a value of 724 million euros.

There was no objection from either side.

Chen Rui uses "Mona Lisa" (part 3), as well as 1 oil painting by Van Gogh, 2 paintings by Paul . Cézanne's oil paintings, 3 Picasso sketches, etc., 23 famous paintings, and 312 million euros in cash were exchanged for that item, as well as all the Buddhist scriptures, social documents, archives, Buddha paintings, murals, and Buddha statues hidden in the British royal treasury.

This exchange was very rewarding.

For both the British royal family represented by Chen Rui and Earl Hill, it can be said that they are happy.

That thing, as well as the Dunhuang Canon, are not for sale, not only that thing, the Dunhuang Canon is a very high-level treasure, but it is also clear that the British royal family will never fail to put it up for auction, or sell. (To be continued......)
