Li Yi carefully considered Luo Guofu's proposal, but it seemed that it was not unacceptable.

In China, there are brokers who play antiques. Although the commission paid will be discussed separately every time, there will be an approximate proportional range. If your information is not very smooth, this fee is essential. After all, even if you trade through auctions, you often have to pay more than 10% of the commission.

Of course, the commission at auction is relatively high. One is because the auction price has a benchmark role and has obvious guidance for the next transaction. The other is that the buyer is interested in is the auction endorsement of the authenticity of the antiques. Although the auction house does not provide clear guarantees for most of the antiques auctions, in fact, in order to survive, the proportion of fakes must be controlled. Therefore, most people who are not very proficient in antiques are still willing to vote for the credibility of the auction house.

For private transactions, neither of these can be obtained, so it is appropriate to have a lower commission, but the specific level of the low should be negotiated by the buyer and the intermediary.

The ratio of 5% is not outrageous, but this is not outrageous, and there are prerequisites, that is, the transaction amount.

The larger the transaction amount, the lower the commission ratio, and the opposite is, it should be slightly higher, which is also a common criterion in the collection industry.

So Li Yi thought about it for a while and gave his own conditions.

For transactions below 10 million US dollars, 5% is fine, but if you exceed 10 million US dollars, you can't do this.

His idea is that 30 million, 60 million, or even hundreds of millions, each node has a lower commission ratio. After all, without the endorsement of the auction house, the greater the amount, the greater the risk the buyer will bear. At this time, it is a bit unreasonable to ask the buyer to pay a large commission. Although for Li Yi, the risk of buying fakes is impossible, Luo Guofu doesn’t know!

So, the two of them communicated in the car for a while, and then negotiated the commission ratio according to the nodes set by Li Yi.

After the matter was settled, Luo Guofu was a little excited because, if the operation was done properly, a business of more than 80 million US dollars would be immediately traded under his introduction. Although both parties bargained, it did not prevent him from getting the commission he deserved.

Li Yi also needed this deal to consolidate Luo Guofu's confidence in him, which is a good thing that is beneficial to both sides. Just like he asked Tian Zechuan to help him negotiate with the Japanese, he finally donated a few antiques, and the emperor did not want to be hungry.

With the motivation for stimulating interests, the next day, when Li Yi was still waiting for the news from Gu Feng to send back, Luo Guofu took the lead in calling. Adolf had already done it. "The Picture of the Xiao Temple in Qiushan" plus "The Goddess of the Goldfinch", plus 10 million euros, exchange for Li Yi's "Summer Carnival"!

"This Luo Guofu is OK as a middleman. If you buy antiques from him, you must be careful not to be cheated by him!"

At that time, after leaving Adolf, Li Yi once mentioned Luo Guofu, hoping that Adolf could compensate another part of the cash. He remembered that he was talking about $10 million.

But now, 10 million US dollars has become 10 million euros, and there is a difference of about 3 million US dollars in between. According to their agreement, half of this money should be Luo Guofu's.

"It seems that Tan Moxuan must be involved earlier, otherwise it will be a loss!"

In fact, Li Yi did not have much resistance to Luo Guofu's behavior of taking commissions and bonuses, because these were small problems compared to the benefits he obtained. However, what made him angry was that his bargaining ability was so weak? He left loopholes for this guy every time!

The good news was received, but the transaction could not be carried out immediately, because Pang Xiang has just returned to China now. If you want to see the "Summer Carnival", you have to wait at least one more day. In addition, the time for Adolf to appraise, it would be fast to be able to complete the transaction within three to five days.

After complimenting Luo Guofu well, Li Yi finally waited for Gu Feng's call, which was a huge amount of good news!

"Brother Yi, we are probably going to send it now!"

"Send it? What's the situation?"

"That's right, we all guessed wrongly. The information on the paper is not the information on the account, but the information on the bank safe. After I arrived in Lucerne, I found a private bank called Capelna. I first opened an account under a pseudonym and found that the format was different from the format on the paper. Then I found that the information on the safe in this format may be the information on the safe in the Capelna. This bank has not changed this rule since its establishment for more than 100 years!"

"Then I directly found the person in charge of the bank and provided the information to him. After he checked it, he asked some questions on a routine basis and took me to the bank's vault. Guess what did I see?"

"What did you see?"

"Oil paintings! So many oil paintings! There are 32 paintings in total in size!"

With a puff, Li Yi sprayed directly. He was deposited into a bank safe more than 70 years ago. Even if these were the works of some contemporary painters at that time, they were very valuable now, okay? What's more, 32 pictures, how many of them should be old objects, right?

I posted it, now I really posted it!

"A safe that has not been used for more than 70 years suddenly came to claim it. Don't they find it strange?"

If it is just an ordinary account, even if there are some deposits, even if the deposit has been several times more than 70 years, this is not a big problem. Because, if it is exposed, it is nothing more than just telling the truth and not having the money, it shouldn't be much anyway.

But now the situation is different. Even half of the 32 ancient oil paintings are no, even if only one is made by a famous artist, it is an amazing asset. What's more, will it be some ordinary works that can be cherished and deposited into a bank safe?

"They will definitely suspect that they may have even called the police. But this time they probably have to pay for their own caution. It was their biggest mistake to control me without controlling me at that time and letting me take away things!"

"Brother Yi, don't worry, I have gotten rid of the tracking and am now preparing to rush to the next bank. Unfortunately, the other safes in this bank may not have the chance to open again in the short term."

"If there is no chance, there is no chance. Otherwise, you should not go to another one. The risk is too great."

"No, if you want to go, you have to go now. Otherwise, after the news spreads, there will be no chance. Don't worry, I won't be exposed so easily. Okay, Brother Yi, I won't tell you anymore, I've already arrived at the place."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yi took out the paper. Lucerne Capelna Bank is the account recorded on the paper. No, the bank with the most safes, there are as many as 5!

There are 32 oil paintings in one safe, so what about the other four safes? I'm sorry, I really should let Gu Feng bring all these messages with you!

However, if five pieces of information were taken at once, the bank might take control measures at that time, so it is very likely that even these 32 oil paintings would not be able to get...

Thinking of this, Li Yi's heart suddenly jumped. Oh no, I forgot to remind Gu Feng!

What he thought was that since Lucerne Capelna Bank had suspicious, then the next bank would definitely be suspicious. However, the failure of Capelna Bank to control the situation on the spot does not mean that the next bank would do the same. If... if the bank controls people on the spot, wouldn't it be bad?

He quickly grabbed the phone and called Gu Feng directly. He didn't care about exposing it now. At worst, he could hand over the information in his hand. What else could they do to him?

"Uh... Brother Yi, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky this time. This information records an account with a principal of only 520,000 US dollars. Now, they are calculating interest..."

When he heard Gu Feng say he was not so lucky, although his tone was calm, Li Yi was still shocked. Fortunately, this guy explained it later.

"Gu Feng, listen to me. If it is a deposit account, we won't care if it's a lot of money. You leave now. I'm afraid they are dragging you with the trick of calculating interest..."

"Don't worry, Brother Yi, I had already arranged a retreat before coming. As long as they didn't dispatch the large army from the beginning, don't think of leaving me behind... After that, I have calculated that the current amount is 10,000 yuan, how could it be so high?"

"This is normal. Post-war reconstruction requires a large amount of funds. It is difficult for banks to acquire deposits. In addition, it is a private bank, so it is not surprising that the interest rate is offered. Don't worry about these things now and leave immediately. We don't want this money!"

"Okay, the bank is asking me if I want to transfer to a new account."

"No need, leave immediately, everything is put on safety first."

Half an hour later, Li Yi received another call from Gu Feng, and the bank had no reaction at all!

"Brother Yi, why don't you send me all the remaining information and I'll take a look at it one by one?"

Li Yi smiled bitterly,

"No need, there are 11 messages in total, 3 of which bank has gone bankrupt. The one I just followed you, took out another 5, and now there are only two left, one of which is also an account opened in the bank you just went to..."

On the phone, Gu Feng said "uh" and then said:

"Brother Yi, please ask someone to help translate the remaining one. Give me these two messages, the Lucerne Capelna Bank is marked with the city, so it is a safe. In addition, although this one is also two words, the name of the bank itself is composed of these two words, so..."

Li Yi immediately understood that there were 8 pieces of information composed of two words on the paper. If these two words were bank names, then the information it represented could not be a safe, because the bank safe could not flow at will like funds. In other words, those three pieces of information that had been spread out on the bankrupt bank should also be a normal deposit account. Now, there is nothing worth a pity.

"I'll find someone to interpret the translation right away, and you'll be ready to come back. I guess even in the safe, it's absolutely impossible to compare with your gains this time."

Li Yi believes in his judgment because most of the things that can be stored in a bank safe are precious jewelry or gold. On the contrary, if you use a safe to store antiques, it is estimated that hundreds of them may not be able to encounter one.

Compared to the possible value of this batch of oil paintings, what can jewelry do if there is more gold? In other words, although there are still four safes in the Capelna Bank in Lucerne that have not been opened, he may have obtained the most valuable treasure!

In this case, instead of causing trouble and collective exposure due to greed, it is better to just give up openly!

However, even so, there should be another problem to pay attention to. That is, although these 32 oil paintings are all from the same safe, they cannot be simply determined to be the stolen goods snatched by the Nazis. What if the guy who opened an account was a gallery or was a collector of calligraphy and painting?

If it is really not the stolen goods stolen by the Nazis, and there are really some world-famous paintings in these paintings, then there may be some troubles in the ownership of these paintings. Moreover, even if it is the stolen goods of the Nazis, these paintings may have been included in the review catalog.

But what can it be done? No one has claimed it for more than 70 years. So, the whereabouts of the family can be imagined. He will be so noble that he will give up the benefits he has won for nothing. Those so-called museums that are like him and do not have the right to own?

Let’s get over it, why don’t you talk about the things you snatched away from our ancestors in the early years?

nnd! No matter if you have records or not, you will be black first! At worst, everyone will just argue slowly!

Besides, China is not as weak as a few years ago. It really doesn’t work. If you give the things to Wang Haoqing, if you have the country as your backer, you can always get some things back even if you return them!

After thinking for a while, Li Yi accepted these oil paintings with peace of mind. He is not a guy with a cleanliness obsession with his thoughts!

"Brother Yi, it's translated. It seems that there is no city name, it's just a bank name."

Within a few minutes, Hongchen returned to the room. He had already contacted the front desk to help him translate. The remaining message was indeed the name of a bank.

Li Yi nodded and called Gu Feng. Come back. He was impatient to see what treasures he had gained this time!

Just after dinner time, Gu Feng rushed back. Li Yi couldn't wait to take the big suitcase from his hand, picked up an oil painting from it and opened it carefully. Then, his mouth opened in a big O-shaped shape!
Chapter completed!
