ps: Everyone looks at Xiaohua's diligent attitude, so let's vote for the monthly pass.

"Mr. Eskenazy, are you sure you're not joking?" Liu Sheng looked at Eskenaz with a mocking look on his face and asked in disbelief.

"Hehe, this gentleman, you may be mistaken, I'm talking about the euro." Eskenaz added calmly.

"Mr. Eskenazi, I have not misunderstood at all, I respect you as an old-timer in the industry, especially your understanding of Chinese art, so that some of our first-class experts in China are beyond the reach of the dust, you can not fool me with your qualifications, you have seen the quality of this Tian Huang clearly, and you are sure if you are joking." Liu Sheng said playfully, and gently took a sip of Blue Mountain coffee, with a fragrant bitterness, which made his spirit can't help but be angry.

The grade of Tianhuangshi is mainly measured from three aspects: quality, color and material. (The real high-grade Tianhuang must have both fine, knotted, moist, greasy, warm, and condensed "six virtues.") The color is pure, and the turbidity is secondary. Specifically, Tianhuangshi is precious to golden yellow, and orange peel red is rare, which is the best grade; The second is orange peel yellow, loquat yellow, ripe chestnut yellow, osmanthus yellow. And candy yellow, soap yellow, tung oil ground is the next grade. Shirata is rarely seen as the top, and Kuroda is inferior. The size and shape of the stone is also an important criterion for determining the grade of Shoushan stone, and it is extremely rare to have a slight squareness, and the plump one is on the top, and the one with the flat leading water chestnut is the bottom. Take Tian Huang as an example, Tian Huang weighs more than 30 grams before it is "mature", but more than 500 grams is particularly rare, because the giant stone is often of poor quality, if the form and spirit are both, respected as the 'king of kings', is a rare treasure.

"How about fifty million? This gentleman, I am already very sincere. Eskenazi thought about it for a long time, and with great difficulty, he gave Liu Sheng a more sincere price.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Eskenazi. I also like this Tianhuang stone statue of Sakyamuni. There are no plans to make a move yet. Liu Sheng was still unmoved and shook his head.

According to Liu Sheng, this Tianhuang stone carving is estimated to weigh at least more than 800 grams, at least the king of kings he has seen, and what is even more rare is that this Tianhuang is plump, has both six virtues, and the color is mainly orange peel red, coupled with the exquisite carving of the office, it is definitely a rare national treasure in the world. These are not the most important, Liu Sheng can feel the strong Buddha nature from this Tianhuang Shakyamuni statue, if you guess correctly, this Shakyamuni statue has been blessed and consecrated by the living Buddha of the past dynasties, because of this, even if Eskenazi offers a high price, he will not sell.

"Hehe, that's really a pity, today's goddess of luck didn't shed the light of luck for me, I don't know if I am lucky enough to know you, a young handsome." There was a hint of regret on Eskenazi's face, but he was not the kind of person who stalked him, and he still wanted to get to know Liu Sheng in the second place.

"My name is Liu Sheng, and Mr. Eskenaz can call me Liu." Liu Sheng nodded. Although they were reluctant to stay away from Eskenazi, it did not prevent them from communicating with each other. Antiques are like this, only communication can increase one's ability.

"Dear Liu Xie Lu, thank you for allowing me to appreciate such a beautiful Tian Huang work, I still have some trivial things to deal with, but I am really looking forward to our next meeting." Eskenaz saw that his goal had been accomplished, and wisely retired.

"I think we'll meet soon, don't we?" Liu Sheng smiled a little weirdly, an antique dealer who was often active in major auction houses, and he would not believe that Christie's did not invite him. Otherwise, how could Eskenazi have the leisure to come to the saint. Wander around in vain.

"Well, I hope so." Eskenazi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly thought of Christie's auction event, but this time was a bit special, and he didn't believe that Liu Sheng could get an invitation

"Mr. Liu, I have already done it for you." Walking out of the Swiss bank, Liu Sheng immediately received an exciting news that he finally no longer had to be a thief of the century.

"Thank you, Ellie." Liu Sheng thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, you are too polite, don't forget that you promised to teach me Chinese kung fu." Ai Jie said with some excitement, waving her little as if she saw the moment when she became a martial arts master.

"Don't worry, you won't forget, Ellie, you can call me Liu Sheng in the future, or Liu can be, don't be so polite." Liu Sheng cleaned up his mood and said.

"Then, is that okay, you're my master." Ali Jie said with some apprehension, she had heard that there is a saying in China that 'one day is a teacher and a father for life', because Liu Sheng was too young, she hesitated for a long time to call Mr.

"Why are there so many exquisiteness, we're friends, aren't we?" Liu Sheng said with a smile that nearly half of China's old rules have disappeared into the dust of history.

"That's great." Ellie's heart was suddenly scattered, to be honest, she was under too much pressure to face Liu Sheng. "Liu, we'll see you at the auction."

Doodle

Listening to the blind voice on the mobile phone, Liu Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't need to be so excited, but no one disturbed him to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Paris.

The city is built radially from Place Chartreux, which is surrounded by the Champs-Elysées and is the oldest but also the liveliest location in the city. The "center" of the city center is Notre-Dame Cathedral on the Île de la Cité and the District Court of Paris, surrounded by the Seine

To the north of the Île de la Cité, the Place de la Concorde, the Paris Opera (i.e. the Opéra Garnier), the Madeleine Church, the Louvre, and the Jardin des Tuileries are all located in this area of the city center on the Right Bank. Starting from the Arc de Triomphe de Caruso, entering the Tuileries Gardens, passing the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde, following the Avenue des Champs to the majestic Arc de Triomphe, and continuing to the Ark building in La Défense, this central axis is a world-famous landscape. If you take the Champs-Élysées as the dividing line, and look west, the symbols of Paris, the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides, on the left bank. Farther north, the white spire of the Sacré-Coeur on the hill of Montmartre rises like a landmark, making it the second highest Parisian landmark after the Eiffel Tower.

The scenery of Paris is endless, but Liu Sheng does not have so much time to spend time, and he is not willing to go to the flowers to enjoy it, so he can only visit the places he is interested in.

Liu Sheng has been dreaming of this place since Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris", and now he finally has the opportunity to feast his eyes. It is a typical Gothic church. It is built entirely of stone, and is characterized by its towering and upright, splendid and magnificent, and the whole building is solemn and harmonious, and has been called a 'symphony of stones' by Hugo.

Standing on the banks of the Seine, overlooking Notre-Dame Cathedral in the distance, the huge door is surrounded by statues, layer after layer, and the stone statues become smaller and smaller as you go inside. All the pillars are tall and slender, and they are united with the pointed arches of the upper part. The atrium is narrow, tall and long. Looking up at the church from the outside, the towering shape and the bell tower and minaret at the top give you the impression of rising into the blue sky.

Up close, the entire Notre Dame Cathedral is almost a treasure of stone carving, with the "Last Judgment" of Jesus carved on the peach-shaped arch of the three layers of the front; The right side depicts the story of Sainte-Anna and the baptism of Louis VII by Archbishop Héri; On the left is the Porta del Maria, which depicts the Passion and Resurrection of the Virgin, surrounded by saints and angels. Above the arch is the Corridor of Kings, displaying the statues of 28 kings of the Old Testament period, allowing Liu Sheng to appreciate the unique style that is very different from the Chinese cave art, and does not feel immersed in this exotic style

Out of Notre Dame Cathedral, Liu Sheng's second target is the Louvre, one of the four major museums in the world, one of the most desirable places for all collectors, where there are the statues of "Venus", "Mona Lisa" oil paintings and "Goddess of Victory" stone sculptures, which are known as the three treasures of the world, as well as a large number of ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek cultural relics, as well as a large number of precious cultural relics looted by the British and French forces from the Qing government.

"Machine Spirit, is there a way to get it back to China?" Looking at China's own large number of art treasures, Liu Sheng closed his eyes, his heart was a little depressed, and he couldn't help but ask the demon mirror.

"Yes, but are you really going to get it back? It's not fair to these art treasures at all, but it's worth it for your own selfish desires? The Demon Mirror asked rhetorically.

"But," the corners of Liu Sheng's mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak.

"I know what you want to say, but if you are backward, you will be beaten, only if China is really rich and strong, then these art treasures will automatically go back, which is much more meaningful than your petty thief." The Demon Mirror Instrument Spirit sighed, such a thing had long been numb in his long years, and he didn't know how to persuade Liu Shenghao.

"Forget it, let's go back." Liu Sheng left the Louvre with regret, but he thought that when he had the opportunity, he would collect more Western art treasures, so that when Europeans and Americans visited their artworks, the first thing that came to mind was China. (To be continued......)
