According to Li Yi's estimate, even if "Scream" is deducted a little, it should still be about 100 million US dollars in the end. However, according to the current offer from John Carru, what he can get in the end is less than 700,000, which is indeed a bit too big.

However, John Carru was very chewed at the quote for "Holy Virgin" because the reason is very simple. He also has the transaction price of Chinese cultural relics at auctions over the years. Moreover, when pricing antiques, subjective factors may account for a large proportion, just as if he was bound to win "Scream", and he also knew very clearly that Li Yi should also win some of his collections.

Since the two sides are in an equal position, there is no need to make big concessions. What's more, after several temptations, Li Yi just repeatedly entangled in the price of "The Virgin" but had no intention of cutting it out of the negotiation directory. John Carru knew that as long as both sides had this kind of thought, they would be able to reach an end.

What's more, he had the last move he didn't take out to test it, that was the "Picture of David".

Others don’t know that as the owner of “The Picture of David”, John Carru knew very well that the piece in his hand was the real Donatello’s “The Picture of David”, but the origin was a little unclear and it was impossible to put it on the table for trading.

He had never thought that Li Yi would recognize the sculpture before, nor did he realize that Li Yi might be interested in it, but Edmund was an old fry. Although Li Yi had concealed it well, he still showed him some clues, thus reminding John Carru. As long as they bite a little bit and throw "The Picture of David" out at the last moment, Li Yi would have a great problem for them.

Li Yi didn't know that the problem was here, but he just felt that this negotiation was more difficult than any other time, but John Carru could not know that for Li Yi, this difficulty was just the difference between earning more and earning less, and it would not cause much trouble to him.

Under such circumstances, the two sides tested each other's bottom lines. Finally, when John Carru felt that it was almost done and was about to take out "The Picture of David" to test it, Li Yi suddenly gave in.

"Mr. John Carru, thank you very much for your kind hospitality. I think that's it. I exchange "Scream" for your antiques, and then you will pay me another $780,000 in a week..."

John Carru was stunned, but then stood up with a smile. It would be nice to be able to reach a deal on such conditions. If "The Picture of David" really wants to deal with it, the price of the black market should not be less than 7.80,000 US dollars, not to mention that it was not included this time.

The next day, Li Yi returned to Bordeaux with this harvest. He planned to stay abroad for the time being, but he had not yet decided whether to open the treasure in the gold cloud dragon pattern and vermilion lacquer roof box. Because in this way, it would be difficult to win the trust of the origin of these ancient paintings, and even the authenticity of them would be subject to a lot of doubts.

"Wow, what a beautiful bottle!"

Among so many antiques, 6 Ningshuang's favorite is the ivory carved stool character story bottle for the Dream of Red Mansions. The reason is that this bottle is so beautiful.

"I promised to come here this time to accompany me, but the result is..."

Holding the bottle in her arms and playing with it for a while, 6 Ningshuang threw it to Li Yi with a resentful look. However, just as Li Yi scratched his scalp and didn't know how to answer, she smiled and dragged Li Yi out of the treasure room.

"I tell you, we are afraid we have bought treasure this time!"

Seeing 6 Ningshuang's sneaky appearance, Li Yi was stunned. Did he buy the treasure? Or do we? What does it mean?

"Come with me!"

6 Ningshuang pulled Li Yi to the wine cellar next to the treasure room, where there were piles of wine they just made this year. Their harvest this year only made less than 80 barrels, and they all had small barrels of 50 gallons per barrel.

"When testing the quality of the wines made this time, guess what did I show up?"

Li Yi's heart was shocked. He remembered the He Wushui he poured in during the fermentation. He couldn't help but secretly called it terrible. Didn't it mean that it would not be opened within the ages after sealing the barrel?

"I have discovered that mysterious substance in the wine I made this time! Because it was the first time I made it, the sampling range this time is very wide, so I have reason to believe that the wines I made this time contain this substance!"

It turns out that there is still a saying of sampling? Li Yi pretended not to know anything and scratched his scalp. In fact, he really didn't understand very much.

"If you have them all, just contain them all. Anyway, don't you say that this substance is beneficial or not. The more you have, the better?"

"Yes, that's why I said we bought treasure this time. Come and try it. The wine that has been brewed for less than a month has tasted like it has been brewed for one year and two years. The most important thing is that it has many benefits to the human body..."

6 Ningshuang took half a glass of wine from a sealed wooden barrel and handed it to Li Yi, but a confused expression appeared on her face.

"At first I suspected that this mysterious substance might be a mineral. After being absorbed by the vines, it was left in the grapes. However, after testing the soil and grapes, no clues were found. Besides, the bottle of wine that first appeared in this substance was not produced in this vineyard..."

Li Yi smiled and sipped the dark red wine, smacked his lips, but he didn't think the taste was much different from the ones he usually drank.

"Maybe many factors are gathered together. For example, the soil or grapes do contain some substances, and then when fermented, this substance reacts chemically with some substances, and finally produces this mysterious substance. This doesn't seem to be too strange..."

"I want to explain this too, but the wines made by Xiangelu Winery from this vineyard have not yet appeared in this mysterious substance, so how should I explain this?"

Li Yi shrugged his shoulders, it’s hard to explain this? He Wushui, your husband, I am unique in the world, and they can’t even add it if they want to.

"You are not happy if there are good things. Why do you care about so many things? Come and tell me what are the benefits for us if these wines contain that mysterious substance?"

"benefit?"

6 Ningshuang picked up Li Yi's glass of wine and sipped it lightly.

"This mysterious substance can speed up the fermentation process, and the amplitude is amazing."

6 Ningshuang pointed to a row in the cabinet on one side and said:

"These are all packaged with large barrels. I have only opened two barrels in total. The first barrel was opened only 10 days away from the date of sealing, but the wine in it seemed to have been fermented for more than three months and had been initially fermented. Then, after another 10 days, I opened the second wooden barrel..."

6 Ningshuang shook the wine glass in her hand at Li Yi,

"That's what you drink."

"2o days is equivalent to two years? Isn't it possible? As you say, if you only need to put it for one year, these wines will be no less than the wines that have been brewed for many years. If you put it for one year, my goodness..."

Li Yi frowned in confusion. Could it be that He Wu’s biggest function is to make wine? It’s hard to say that this thing is. Among so many wines, he only put less than 40 milliliters in total. Although it has not been diluted, even if it is thick, how can it be thicker?

"It shouldn't be that scary, right? But it's hard to say, because the only things detected so far cannot be explained by science..."

6Drinkle the remaining wine in one go,

"The age is only one aspect. The most important thing is that drinking wine containing this substance for a long time will improve the body's physical fitness and any kind of medicine can't match it. It can not only make people live long, but also make people look very young... No, this youth is not what it looks like, but is truly young, and the metabolism of each organ will be improved..."

6 Ningshuang pondered while trying to organize more reasonable and appropriate language,

"My father's research results show that people who drink this wine for a long time will be 5 to 10 years younger than those of their peers. That is to say, even if I grow to 40 years old, all organs and parts of my body will still remain in their 20-year-old... Haha, the face is permanent and youth is not old. This is the ultimate dream of many women!"

A permanent face, youth is not old? A shining golden light emerges from Li Yi's eyes.

"Then are there any way for your dad to get the results of your research to be recognized by the public?"

"What do you do to get them to approve of?"

6 Ningshuang showed a vigilant expression,

"I have only made so much wine in total. I can't drink it enough. Don't make any wrong ideas as soon as possible, otherwise I will never finish it with you!"

Drink by yourself? Li Yi looked at the wine cellar. Each barrel was 50 gallons, and 80 barrels were 4ooo gallons. One inch gallon was equivalent to 4.5 liters, 4ooo gallons were 18ooo liters, and 75o ml per bottle, that is, 12ooo bottles, and drink them alone... Oh my god, wouldn't she become a drunkard with the number one in Tianzi?

"Who said I wanted to drink it alone? Let me tell you, from today on, you, uncles and aunts, my parents, will drink this wine together, and at least one bottle every day!"

"Not right? Even if it's wine, drinking too much will not be of any benefit to the body, right? Moreover, if you have a bottle every day, you will easily become an alcoholic. At that time, the amount will become larger and larger, and you will be unable to control it at all..."

"I don't care! Who made the mysterious substance content in this wine so low? My dad said that if the intake is too small, the effect will not be so obvious. Or do you want me to stay young and want to wait until I get old so that I can deceive other little girls?" (To be continued.)8
