Chapter 953: Back to the hotel
After Chen Yi paid the money, Lukino instructed the personnel to pack the three things and put them in the car, and then he invited everyone to have a supper in the castle. Top Novel, www.
After a full meal, everyone said goodbye to Lu Chino one by one, and when saying goodbye to Chen Yi, Lu Chino said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, it is a great honor to meet you today. ”
Even though Chen Yi is very young, no one can deny that this young man has made great achievements in the field of Chinese art, not only in the field of art, but with the help of those magical things he has discovered, the huge business empire established by Chen Yi is slowly taking shape.
Whether it is Zhang Yide's beef, or firewood kiln porcelain, or Longquan pure water that is about to go on sale, the market is very stable and will not fluctuate too much, and beef and drinking water, which are naturally eaten daily, will be needed every day.
And firewood kiln porcelain, although each piece is worth tens of millions, but there are so many collectors in the world, the collection market is very broad, and the number of people who want to get firewood kiln is countless, it is conceivable that the future of firewood kiln porcelain will make Chen Yi earn huge wealth.
He has seen a lot of geniuses in this world, but there are very few people like Chen Yi who are not arrogant and impatient, and who are humble, and now Chen Yi's achievements are already higher than those so-called geniuses, and no one can predict the future achievements.
"Mr. Luchino, I am equally honored to be able to meet you today, and thank you for your hospitality." Chen Yi also expressed his gratitude to Lu Chino, and in Lu Chino's body, he saw what a real rich man is. This is something that some nouveau riche in the country simply cannot compare.
Luchino laughed. "Mr. Chen. I will go to Huaxia when I have the chance, and when the time comes, you will treat me well. ”
"Waiting for your arrival at any time, I believe that you will definitely feel worthwhile in Huaxia." Chen Yi smiled and nodded, shook hands with Lukino and hugged him, got into the car, and left the castle with Dean Paul.
"Haha, Xiaoyi. Congratulations on taking a statue of Michelangelo, coupled with Manzoni's colorless paintings, your museum's fame will grow. In the car, Dean Paul congratulated Chen Yi.
"Dean Paul, thank you for bringing me to this auction." Without the leadership of Abbot Paul, he probably would not have encountered the statue that hides the secret, Michelangelo's Genesis sketch manuscript, which is far more valuable than the statue itself.
Dean Paul waved his hand and smiled, "We are friends. It doesn't have to be so polite. ”
Afterwards, Chen Yi returned to the hotel. With the help of the staff, three things were carried back to the room, although it was already more than nine o'clock at this time, but when they learned that Chen Yi was back, Fu Lao and others also came to the room, ready to see what Chen Yi had auctioned at the auction.
Dean Paul came to Rome this time, and he also booked a room in this hotel, so he was not in a hurry to go back at all, and entered the room with Fu Lao and the others.
In the room, Chen Yi opened the three things he photographed in turn, the first of which was a sketch created by Chen Chun, who is as famous as Xu Wei.
When Fu Lao and others saw Chen Chun's calligraphy, they couldn't help but show surprise on their faces, although Chen Chun has collections in some museums in China, but the number is also very small, they didn't expect Chen Yi to get one from the auction.
Moreover, it can be seen from the inscription of this calligraphy that this calligraphy was made when Chen Chun was fifty-five years old, and he lived to be sixty-one years old.
Now if you want to get Chen Chun's calligraphy, it is no longer a matter of money, but most of his works are stored in museums, and you can't buy them with more money.
Fu Lao and the others carefully tasted and exchanged around this piece of calligraphy, and then asked Chen Yi to take out the second thing.
The second antique that Chen Yi auctioned was the Ming Chenghua Doucai melon and fruit dragon pattern lid jar, with a jar and a lid, and a green dragon soaring above the cloud on the body of the jar, and there were some melons and fruits around it, which seemed to be full of unique meaning.
Ming Chenghua Doucai porcelain is very little scattered outside, most of them are collected in the Palace Museum of Tianjing and Treasure Island, this is a kind of exquisite porcelain specially fired for the imperial court, exquisite and beautiful in shape, elegant and rich in color, the method of applying color is refined and changeable, and at the same time, each piece of utensils is attached to the strong and powerful dynasty style, which is the top product of the official kiln, and the output is very small at that time, and it is very precious.
And now the most valuable in the Doucai porcelain belongs to the Ming Chenghua Emperor's imperial wine cup, also called the chicken bowl cup, due to the high requirements of the emperor's house when firing, the yield is not high, the top grade is dedicated to the palace, the defective product is destroyed, so it is very little to spread to the people.
Since the Ming Dynasty, the chicken bowl cup is regarded as a thousand gold difficult to buy, every time it appears at the auction, it will refresh the world record of Chinese porcelain, Chen Yi once remembered that at last year's auction, there was a Ming Chenghua chicken bowl cup estimated at 200 million to 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the final transaction price reached 280 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to have refreshed the transaction record of the chicken bowl cup again.
This time, Chen Yi obtained the Chenghua Doucai porcelain, although it is far inferior to the chicken bowl cup, but it is also a rare fine porcelain.
Finally, it was the turn of the last thing, and seeing this box with a very high height, Fu Lao said curiously: "Xiaoyi, this last thing looks like it should be a big object, is it a porcelain bottle." ”
Chen Yi smiled slightly, "Old Fu, you can just open it and take a look." ”
Fu Lao and the others opened the box with doubts, and when they saw what was presented in front of them, their faces showed surprise, "Oh, it's a head sculpture, take it out and take a look." ”
Then, Fu Lao and another person carefully moved the statue from the box to the table, and everyone began to look at it seriously, and at first glance they felt that the statue was very exquisitely carved, but they couldn't judge who the statue was.
At this time, Fu Lao saw a signature engraved on his neck, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise: "This is Michelangelo's work, I didn't expect it to be obtained by Xiaoyi." ”
Hearing Fu Lao's words, everyone's eyes stared directly at the signature of Michelangelo on his neck, and he couldn't stop being shocked in his heart, who is Michelangelo, one of the three masters of the Italian Renaissance, and can be said to be the representative of the highest peak of sculpture art in that period.
If Chen Chun's calligraphy can occasionally be bought at auction, then Michelangelo's works are nowhere to be bought if they have money, because basically no one will sell the works of this master.
Although Fu Lao knew that there would be Michelangelo's works at this auction, he did not expect that Chen Yi would definitely be able to auction it, and now his heart is full of excitement.
"Chen Xiaoyou, since you took this statue, you should know who the characters in this statue are." At this time, an old man next to him asked with some confusion.
Fu Lao is also a little puzzled, he has seen most of Michelangelo's works, but this work has not been seen, naturally I don't know who the figure on it is, as for whether this statue will be fake, he is not worried at all, because the organizer of this auction is a famous Italian rich man, he cannot put the unknown origin, true or false things into the auction.
Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "The figure on this statue is actually the most important person in Michelangelo's life, that is the handsome Roman nobleman Tommaso?" Cavalieri ....... ”
Next, Chen Yi roughly told the story of Michelangelo and Cavalieri to Fu Lao and others.
After listening to Chen Yi's explanation, they looked at the statue, shook their heads, and sighed with some emotion, Michelangelo carved a statue for him himself, which shows his admiration for this Roman nobleman.
In the West, homosexuality may be commonplace, but in the eyes of the older generation, who have some traditions, it is somewhat unreasonable, which is also caused by cultural differences.
Whatever Michelangelo's personality was like and what his sexual orientation was, there is no denying that he was a great artist.
Seeing this statue of Michelangelo, Fu Lao and others felt that Chen Yi's trip to Italy was the right one, and after returning to China, the collection of the Chinese Museum would definitely be much more, and there would be some treasures of the museum.
In most museums in the world, there are no Michelangelo's works, but Chen Yi got a statue, and Manzoni's works are the same, these two things together are enough to make Chinese museums famous internationally.
In the process of introducing Fu Lao and others, Chen Yi did not intend to point out the secrets of the statue inadvertently, because he did not have any real evidence to prove that there were secrets inside.
And this statue of Michelangelo is so precious, and when it is opened lightly, I am afraid that Fu Lao and others, including Dean Paul, will definitely stop it, rather than this, it is better to wait until Fu Lao and they are gone, he will study it himself and take out the sketch manuscript hidden in it.
Fu Lao and the others stayed in the room for more than half an hour, and after seeing that the time was not early, they returned to their rooms to rest, and Dean Paul was no exception.
After these people left, Chen Yi's face showed a mysterious look, and after closing the door, he returned to the room and looked at this very precious statue. (To be continued......) R527
