Coming to this antique market, Chen Yi still followed his previous habit of watching first, and then using treasure search, after all, he came to Italy not specifically to find treasures, but also to understand the country's culture.

In the antique market, it is undoubtedly the place where thousands of years of culture have been precipitated, even if there are many imitations or fakes, it is also the place with the strongest cultural atmosphere.

Compared with the many types of antiques in China, this foreign type of antiques is much rarer.

In China, in addition to porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade and other major cultural relics and antiques, there are some other bracelets, Buddhist beads and other cultural toys, and even the gourd for playing crickets and the cage for raising birds, which can be called antiques.

Chen Yi is constantly wandering around in this antique market, once he encounters something he is interested in, he will go to the stall or shop pù to watch and identify, and the difficulty of finding treasures in the Italian antique market is more difficult than that of the domestic antique city.

However, he has a powerful treasure search technique, and for others things that are very difficult, for him, it is nothing more than a matter of consuming some energy points.

When passing by a stall full of furniture, Chen Yi suddenly saw a very delicate box on the shelf, which was carved with many Italian cultural ornaments, which looked very beautiful and exquisite.

In particular, it is also inlaid with some gilding and colorful decorations, which looks full of Italian classical culture.

In terms of the size of this box, it should contain all the jewelry, Chen Yi slowly stepped forward, gently opened the box and saw that there was nothing inside.

He smiled. Identification was used. Get ready to see what age this box is. Suddenly, the identification system prompted him to use the identification technique twice, which made his eyes widen, and he carefully looked at the whole box, only to find that the bottom of the box seemed to be thicker than the ordinary box, could it be that there were other things hidden in it.

Chen Yi quietly used two identification techniques. Soon, the identification results appeared, the first is the identification information of the wooden box, which is also an old object, with a history of dozens of pieces, and the value is about several thousand yuan.

It's just that the identification information that appeared below made his eyes widen again, full of surprise, but he didn't expect it to be in this box. There is really a treasure in it.

"The item has been identified successfully, and the information is as follows. Aurora diamond fountain pen, made in zuò date: about ten years ago. ”

"Artistic features: The fountain pen is a commonly used writing instrument, invented at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the nib is made of metal, and the writing is smooth and elastic, quite smooth."

"This fountain pen is made by the Aurora company, Aurora is one of the world's best manufacturers of luxury writing instruments, founded in 1919 after the end of the First World War in Turin, Italy, the company named Aurora, which means the goddess of dawn, intended to express the vision of a better and bright future, ten years ago, in order to commemorate the brand's birthday, Aurora specially launched two commemorative pens, divided into black and white, each set with 1,919 De Beers diamonds, the top of the cap inlaid with a diamond weighing two carats, The total diamond weight of the entire pen is more than thirty carats. ”

"The white diamond pen is made of 18K platinum, the nib is 18K white gold rhodium, the black diamond pen body and nib are made of 18K tungsten gold, the two pens are crystal bright throughout, luxurious and delicate without feeling complicated, this pen is a white diamond pen, highlighting the noble and elegant nature, each of these two pens is made by six experienced veteran technicians for six months, the value is extremely precious."

"Item value: Aurora diamond pens, set with 1,920 diamonds weighing more than 30 carats, the body and nib are made of precious metals, and their collectible value has long since far exceeded their writing function, so they are of high value."

Looking at the three-dimensional image of this pen, Chen Yi's heart is full of amazement, this pen is so beautiful, especially this white, it looks dazzling, incomparably crystalline, the beauty of the diamond is expressed vividly, the platinum pen body, inlaid with nearly 2,000 diamonds, is simply incomparable.

The value is very high, that is, between five million and ten million yuan, Chen Yi sighed, a fountain pen worth more than five million, it was not born to write, but for everyone to watch.

He really didn't expect that in this exquisite box, there would be such a valuable fountain pen, in terms of the value of this fountain pen, even if it is not too much to use tens of thousands of boxes, it seems that foreigners are also like the Chinese people, the treasures are hidden in some ordinary things.

This fountain pen has only been out for ten years, and it appeared on this stall, presumably because of what happened to its owner, and according to the three-dimensional image, the box is made of a tight fit, and the pen is stored in the groove of the wooden block at the bottom of the box, on the outside, it is not visible at all, there will be a fountain pen inside, of course, if you are very sensitive to weight, you will find that this box is heavier than the ordinary box, which is naturally the weight of the fountain pen.

Chen Yi smiled, how could he not want such a thing sent to the door, and immediately, he beckoned the stall owner over, "Boss, what is the price of this box." ”

The stall owner, a middle-aged man who looked very energetic, walked over and glanced at the box, and immediately said with a smile: "Sir, this box is made of high-grade wood, and it has a long history, and the price is fifteen hundred euros. ”

Hearing this price, Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, whether it is in the foreign or domestic antique market, it is a knife to be slaughtered, "This box can't reach such a high price, at most five hundred euros." The stall owner was ruthless, Chen Yi was even more ruthless than him, and directly lowered the price to 500 euros.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "Sir, this box is really very exquisite, five hundred euros is too little, at least one thousand euros." ”

"Seven hundred euros." Chen Yi added another two hundred, and the stall owner immediately said, "Eight hundred euros." ”

"Deal." Chen Yi smiled, took out the wallet from his pocket, took out eight hundred euros, handed it to the stall owner, and then picked up the box and asked, "Boss, can I ask you where you got this box from." ”

"This box came out of the house of a rich man who committed a serious crime a year ago, and all his property was confiscated, and this box and some other things were secretly taken out and sold by some people inside." The stall owner smiled and put away the eight hundred euros, and then said to Chen Yi that he only spent three hundred euros when he received the box.

Seeing the stall owner's psychological activities, Chen Yi smiled, it seems that the price is still high, but a few hundred euros, in exchange for a pen worth millions of yuan, how can it be a profitable business.

Holding the box, Chen Yi continued to wander around the antique market, and got this fountain pen, only two antiques were left before the task was completed, and as far as the fountain pen itself was concerned, he liked it very much, diamonds are very attractive to anyone, not to mention, this fountain pen is also inlaid with nearly 2,000 diamonds.

After a while in the antique market, he walked to the door of a gallery, which looks very delicately decorated, giving people a simple and generous feeling, and the name of the gallery is also very domineering when translated, called Michelangelo Gallery, which looks like a collection of Michelangelo and Van Gogh.

Chen Yi smiled, slowly walked in, ready to see what paintings were inside, and at the first glance of entering the gallery, he saw a statue full of modern art, which added a bit of artistic atmosphere to the entire gallery.

The gallery is located in the thriving part of the antique market, so there are more than a dozen people watching in the gallery at this time.

Chen Yi took a general look at some of the oil paintings, and couldn't help but shake his head, they were all painted by some unknown painters, but every famous painter had to go through the stage when no one cared about it in the early stage.

In the boutique area next to it, he saw some works of famous painters, the quality of these works, but much better than what he had seen before, of course, for artistic innovation, is also very strong, not afraid of not being able to do it, afraid that you can't think of it, just like the colorless series created by Manzoni, it looks not good, but it is worth more than 100 million.

"This gentleman, there are some Chinese paintings here, maybe you will be interested in some." Seeing Chen Yi walking past these oil paintings, the shopkeeper on the side said to Chen Yi with a smile.

Chen Yi was a little surprised, and followed the shopkeeper to a compartment in the gallery, where there were indeed dozens of Huaxia paintings, and he took a general look, and one or two of them were still works by a well-known painter.

Nodding to the shopkeeper, he looked at these paintings carefully, looking at several of the Chinese paintings, he couldn't help frowning, because on these paintings, there was no inscription, but there were some inscriptions of verses, since there was time to inscribe, why not settle the inscriptions, his heart was full of doubts.

When he carefully admired these paintings, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, he was very familiar with the brushwork and style of these paintings, because he stayed with this person for nearly two months, discussing calligraphy and painting, and practicing Taoist exercises.

This person is He Wenzhi, Chen Yi looked at these paintings, and remembered the letter from the Sanqing Guan Xuanji Daoist, on which He Wenzhi said that he went to Europe and was going to travel abroad to see the culture of foreign countries.

There is a title, but there is no payment, this is the most doubtful thing for Chen Yi, even if there is no payment, he is very familiar with He Wenzhi, and naturally knows that this is the painting created by He Wenzhi. (To be continued......)
