Noticing that there was no one around, Chen Xi began to cast a spell inherited from Angus, and a space appeared in the air, and then took out the Mona Lisa, Our Lady of the Rocks, and the Old Testament from it.

Chen Xi had already seen the flint, so Shellis and Amut were not too surprised.

"It's just...... We don't know much about these artworks, and we don't know much about the market, how much should we report? Sherris was a little suspicious and asked Amut to be careful in the back seat.

Chen Xi sighed, "For such a work of art, I can only offer a sky-high price, as long as I can afford it, someone will definitely give it." Now that China is getting richer, we also want to collect the world's first-class artworks, and we want to take back our own artworks and cultural relics, but many of them are no longer available with money. ”

"Money can't buy it, so what's the point? Gold or jewelry? Amut asked curiously.

Chen Xi and Xue Lisi couldn't help but smile bitterly, what is the problem.

"Even if we had so much money today, we wouldn't be able to buy it. The colonial era is long over, and the 'opportunity' and era of plundering art are completely over. We have forever lost a lot of historical opportunities to 'acquire' the world's precious arts, and we have also forever lost the historical opportunity to prevent China's local treasures from being plundered by the Eight-Nation Alliance. ”

At this point, Chen Xi sighed a little emotionally, "The problem is not that you can't afford it. Is the Louvre willing to sell the Mona Lisa for a sky-high price? China's Gu Kaizhi's "Female Historian" is still in the British Museum. We just offered a price, and they wouldn't sell it. It is impossible for our Forbidden City in China to sell the "Qingming Riverside Picture" or "Spring Tour" at a sky-high price. ”

Amut didn't seem to understand it, but he didn't quite understand the specific meaning. But he finally understood one thing, that is, some stupid people refused to sell it at a sky-high price!

Shellise continued, "So we're just going to put a high price on it. However, since the Mona Lisa is so precious, why don't you take it back to China? ”

didn't wait for Chen Xi to answer. Shellise immediately understood, "I know, now this painting is not coming from the right way, if it appears in China, it will definitely make the French suspicious and bring trouble to China, so we can only sell it!" ”

Chen Xi smiled, "I also thought about collecting it and donating it to our country after a few decades." At that time, of course, the French would not have been suspicious. However, now that I always meet some strong people, who knows what will happen in the future? It could have been given to people in Japan for collection. But the Buddha and the Taoist family see through these things of fame and fortune and do not cherish them. Ordinary people will definitely not be able to keep it, and they will definitely let the people of the Xunshan Hermit Sect take it back. It's better to sell it. ”

"Hurry up, sell out early." Amut, who was holding the painting, was already a little impatient.

Chen Xi drove back to Thomas's house, and on the way got two large pieces of cloth in a store. The painting was concealed.

When they returned to the mansion, William and Thomas were already waiting at the door, seeing them come back. I was very happy and welcomed them in.

Seeing the frame that Amut was carrying, Thomas and William had already estimated that it was a painting and wanted to get a sneak peek of what it was, but Chen Xi didn't mean to show them first.

"Mr. Thomas, what I brought should be considered a work of art, I don't know if anyone likes it!" Chen Xi said lightly.

Thomas said happily, "Mr. Chen." You're kidding, art appreciates quickly and is exactly what collectors love the most. I've just announced to the guests that there will be a mysterious item, and everyone is looking forward to it. ”

Chen Xi said with a smile: "I believe that everyone will not be disappointed, this time the things brought will definitely satisfy everyone, I am afraid that no one will bring money." ”

William whispered, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, many of the guests are locals, their property is local, and it is easy to mobilize funds. The other cultural relics hunters are often a group, they are also engaged in resale and trade, often with deep pockets, and every attack is inevitable. You don't have to save money for them, just quote the price a little higher. ”

"If you're confident and start bidding at a low price, the results of the auction are often surprising," Thomas said. ”

Chen Xi admitted that the result of the auction would be surprising, but it depends on whether the bidders are active or not, if no one bids, then there will be only surprise and no joy, which is equivalent to selling at a low price.

"Mr. Chen, can you show us what kind of precious artwork this is?" Thomas saw that Chen Xi didn't take the initiative to show him, so he had to ask, "We should be able to give you a little advice." ”

Chen Xi said very implicitly: "Mr. Thomas, I'm very sorry, I really want to tell you what it is, but ...... I still think it's better to keep it a little mysterious, so I'll have to ask you to wait a little longer. ”

Thomas was a little unhappy, but Chen Xi had already said so, and he couldn't help it.

The banquet had already begun, and Chen Xi and Shellis followed William through the crowd, and William kept telling him the information about the guests. Amut abided by Chen Xi's instructions and guarded the two paintings alone.

The main purpose of the banquet is black market trading, so other meals, wine, dancing, etc. have become entertainment programs, and everyone is looking forward to the appearance of this banquet.

Eventually, General Thomas led the group to a spacious hall. Then have the door closed, and everyone trades inside.

Chen Xi saw such a cautious look, probably because he was afraid that he would be secretly photographed by reporters or the like in Huayuan.

Once everyone was seated, Thomas, from the chairman's side, began to introduce the items to be traded tonight, including vases, pottery, bronzes, and more. "The last good news for everyone is that there is a gentleman who will have a mysterious item to trade, and it has now been determined that this mysterious item is a very precious work of art, if you are interested, then prepare your check!"

Hearing Thomas's introduction, and not knowing what kind of artwork it was, everyone couldn't help but be curious, and asked to take things out for everyone.

Thomas had all the items ready to be traded brought to the podium for the guests to see, admire, choose and value. As for Chen Xi's things, they hadn't been handed over to him yet, so he looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi took the initiative to walk to the rostrum and said to the guests: "Dear friends, I am the temporary owner of those artworks, and their owners may be you later." I would like to know how many of you are willing to pay more than 100 million yuan for the acquisition of art? ”

Everyone didn't know what he meant, and it was inconvenient to leak their details, so they didn't say anything.

Chen Xi hurriedly explained: "Because the artwork I brought today is priceless, if no one is willing to pay a high price, I simply don't open it and take it myself." ”

Hearing his words, everyone knew that he was ready to sell at a high price, and they wanted to see if everyone could afford to pay for it. As a result, although many people are a little unhappy in their hearts, most of them have greatly increased their curiosity.

Seeing that there were one or twenty guests who raised their hands, Chen Xi nodded with satisfaction.

"Mr. Chen, are you relieved now? Isn't that supposed to give something to everyone? Thomas took the opportunity to say.

Chen Xi didn't shirk it any longer, took out the Bible and said, "This is the first item I traded, the ancient Covenant Book of the Ancient Leather Scroll!" ”

Then he pointed to the things in Amut's hand and said, "There are also two works of art that are Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "Madonna of the Rocks" and "Mona Lisa"! ”

When I heard the Bible, there were only some people interested, but when I heard the "Mona Lisa", the whole hall was almost boiling, including the owner Thomas, everyone was very surprised, it was rumored that the "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre was stolen, is it true?

Thomas asked a little excitedly, "Mr. Chen, is this the real Mona Lisa?" Can you open it for everyone? ”

Chen Xi had already secretly paid attention to all the guests inside, all of them were ordinary people, and there were no masters. He had three Gao Chen Xi and had no scruples, he asked Amut to take out the two paintings, open them separately and place them.

The guests wanted to see if it was the real thing, and everyone rushed over.

At this time, Chen Xi and Amut's tall figures stopped them like iron towers, and they secretly exercised their skills, forming a not very obvious resistance around them, blocking everyone.

Shellise hurriedly looked at the two paintings, so as not to let people fish in troubled waters.

Thomas got to the side of the painting and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said excitedly: "Authentic! This is the real thing! ”

He pulled an expert from the crowd who appreciated the famous painting, and the cultural relics expert took his eyes and looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while, and was very excited to recognize the authenticity of the painting.

Now that it has been determined that this is the real thing, it means that this transaction has encountered a priceless treasure, and everyone has begun to weigh their money bags.

Although Leonardo da Vinci's painting immediately became the protagonist, the deal still went ahead.

Thomas began to bid or bid on all the items one by one, and since everyone who had enough money and could afford it wanted to keep the money to snap up the Mona Lisa, the original protagonists became less of a concern, and some people bought them at a relatively low price.

The items were unveiled one by one, and half of them were not sold, and everyone was looking forward to the final protagonist appearing soon, and they also estimated a price in their hearts.
