Chapter 353: Reluctantly Invited

"Your Highness the Princess!" Mr. Bafaya said: "It is your private matter whether it is transferred or not, and I should not leave it alone. But I would like to ask you to consider Mr. Yu's suggestion carefully. "Luo Shen Futu" is a national treasure of China, whether to return to the land where it was born and raised, or to be confined in your collection room for your personal enjoyment, I think Your Royal Highness the Princess, you must have a wise decision. ”

The reason why Mr. Bafaya said such a thing was, of course, to repay Yu Fei for the kindness of transferring the Crystal Grail to him.

Alice's face also showed a hesitant expression, but it was still too difficult for him to transfer the "Luo Shen Futu". She is a woman who is very persistent in her feelings, otherwise she would not have always admired her grandmother (Margaret) who dared to love and hate, and even called herself Margaret to the outside world. The depiction of love in "Luo Shen Futu" touched the chord of her heart.

"Alice, I know you don't lack money, but I can exchange it with you." Yu Fei said. With Alice's net worth, even if it is not as good as Yu Fei, she will definitely not be short of money. And collectors love their collections far more than money. If Yu Fei wants to use money to buy "Luo Shen Futu", it is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Yu Fei thought of a method of painting easy to draw.

"I know that you like the works of Master Monet, and I can exchange all six of Monet's paintings with you for the "Luo Shen Futu". Yu Fei said.

His words startled both Alice and Buffaya, and it is still the beginning of the 2000s, and although the price of Chinese art has increased to a certain extent, the price gap between it and similar European art is still very large. Even if "Luo Shen Futu" was auctioned by the auction house. It is estimated that the transaction price will not exceed 20 million pounds!

And many of Monet's works have exceeded 20 million pounds each! Although the value of Monet's sketches owned by Yu Fei is slightly lower, it is also around 10 million. Therefore, Yu Fei wants to change "Luo Shen Futu", in terms of value. Just take out two or three and you're good to go. But Yu Fei took out the six blessings all at once! This can't help but make the two of them shocked!

They didn't know if Yu Fei did this or if he borrowed from Mr. Bafaya's practice in the crystal cup trade.

If he is unwilling to pay a high price like Lewis, then he may even miss out on "Roselle Futu" in the end, which he is unwilling to bear. That's why he took out all six of Monet's works at once, like Buffaya, so that Princess Alice couldn't refuse.

Some people may say that Yu Fei is too generous. He could have exchanged four or five sketches, so why should he take out all six?

In addition to Yu Fei's desire to attract Alice, the other reason is, of course, that Yu Fei does not like European paintings very much.

"Yu ......," Alice stopped talking. Faced with Fei Xi's eyes, she really couldn't bear to refuse.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I can see that Mr. Yu is very sincere." Mr. Bafaya said again.

"Alice. If you want, you can pick two more of the remaining ten paintings! Yu Fei further said.

Although he knew that in terms of value, the six Monet paintings had surpassed the "Luo Shen Futu". But Yu Fei can't afford to lose. He bought these sixteen paintings for four hundred pounds. Therefore, it is not so cherished.

For a long time, whether it was exchanging the sword of Emperor Shengwu in Tokyo, or exchanging the works of Japanese porcelain ancestors, or trading the crystal chalice, it was someone else who begged Yu Fei, and this time it was the first time that Yu Fei begged someone else to exchange, not to mention the grievance in his heart. But there is no way to do it, who let Princess Alice have his favorite "Luo Shen Futu" in his hand?! This can be regarded as evil retribution.

Alice breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "So, I can't refuse your proposal. All right. I'm also going to pick a work by Cézanne and a work by Raphael. ”

Although the price of Cézanne and Raphael's works is less than 10 million, the difference is not too far. Yu Fei's heart was full of slander, Alice can really do it.

In fact, Alice did not choose Picasso's painting, which is already merciful. After all, the value of that painting is definitely more than 10 million. Even higher.

However, judging from the fact that Alice quickly selected two additional paintings, it is very likely that Alice has already been impressed.

Yu Fei had already faintly realized in his heart that he had fallen for Alice. In fact, she was already moved, and she kept pretending to be hesitant just to lure herself to increase her weight.

Yu Fei said a little stupidly: "Do you know the way? Alice, there is a saying in China that a woman cannot have both beauty and intelligence, but this law does not seem to work for you. I am amazed by your beauty, and your cleverness makes me bow down and admire myself. ”

Alice knew that Yu Fei had seen her trick, and said with a slightly red face: "Yu, I didn't force you to do anything." I appreciate your generosity. In return, you can also pick two pieces of Chinese art from my collection in this collection room to take with you. ”

Yu Fei sneered, Alice was pretending to be generous at all. In her collection room, there are very few Chinese artworks, and the quality is generally not high, except for "Luo Shen Futu", there are few pieces that can enter Yu Fei's eyes, and Yu Fei didn't want to agree. But in line with the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat, Yu Fei still agreed with a wry smile.

"Okay. Then I will thank Your Royal Highness Princess for your generosity. Yu Fei said.

He knew that he didn't take advantage of this business with Alice at all! It can even be said to be a big loss. However, being able to get the authentic work of Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Futu" still made him overjoyed!

After consulting Yu Fei's opinion. Alice asked the servant in charge of the collection to carefully wrap the Roselle Futu.

"So, do you need to check again?" Alice handed the wrapped scroll in her hand to Yu Fei and asked.

"No, I still don't believe you?" Yu Fei said with a smile. But having said that, Yu Fei still carefully explored in the heart of a villain, and found that the painting in the scroll was indeed the "Luo Shen Futu", so he was relieved.

"Luo Shen Futu" can be regarded as a great gain for Fei. What's more, although he paid for eight paintings, he had scavenged them for four hundred pounds, and he didn't really have anything to lose.

Taking stock, Yu Fei gained 20 million pounds in three days of coming to London this time, plus two treasure hunting opportunities for the Bafaya Group! With his ability, he will definitely be able to bring back two of the most precious Chinese antiques of the Bafaya family. In addition, there are sixteen famous paintings, and now eight have been traded, and there are still eight left. There is another "Luo Shen Futu", and the harvest can be said to be full. If Ye Jianjun knew the truth in the future, he might be envious.

Next, Princess Alice took the two of them on a tour of the entire collection room. Sixty or seventy percent of the collection room is made up of paintings, which is also very impressive to Bafaya.

It took the three of them nearly three hours to complete the tour of the entire collection room.

Although Mr. Bafaya is one of the leading collectors in Europe, he is very modest. His casual comments also made Yu Fei and even Alice increase their knowledge a lot.

Alice's collection room also made Yu Fei gain a lot. He had seen the collection room of Sumitomo Mitsui, although it was also rich in collections and reasonable in layout, Yu Fei always felt a hint of "local tyrant". When he saw Alice's collection room, Yu Fei knew what was missing in the collection room of Sumitomo Mitsui, that is, it lacked a little bit of luxury. Even so, Sumitomo Mitsui's collection room is still much better than his own unformed collection room.

"So, you are so persistent in collecting, the collection must be very rich. I wonder if I've had the pleasure of visiting your collection? Alice asked coquettishly.

Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, next time I go to Beijing, I will definitely entertain you well." ”

The three of them began to walk back, and Yu Fei used the chaotic qi to memorize the layout of the entire collection room in his mind, preparing to imitate this layout to transform his own collection room after he returned.

Although the collection room was designed by Ye Jianjun and was designed by someone, it was very good, but Yu Fei still found a lot of indirect places from the layout of Princess Alice's collection room.

At this moment, he was suddenly attracted by a chaotic aura in the corner.

"What is this?" (To be continued......)
