After putting away "Mona Lisa", Li Yi read all the remaining works again. Although he did not find any other amazing paintings, it was enough to satisfy him.

Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Cezanne, and Han Huan and Leonardo da Vinci are all perfect combinations, and what they represent is a huge wealth that is difficult to hold on to.

Li Yi has not seen so much wealth before, but this time he felt a little different. Just like the glass type, although it is also valuable, for him now, even if he can't call it, it's not much different. Even the more precious holy plate, because he didn't think it would be very precious when he got it. When he found out its value later, he didn't react much except shock.

But these paintings are different. These paintings are really rare. It can be said that the way to get them is impossible to copy, and they can bring him more unreplicable wealth, which makes him feel a little worried about gains and losses.

"You can't put all these in Bordeaux, so Gu Feng, go back and take these paintings away."

Li Yi picked out the paintings of Renoir, Cézanne and Da Vinci, and prepared to send Gu Feng back to the country for collection. After they were settled in Hong Kong in the future, they would be transferred out. Anyway, they were all foreigners' things, and there was no problem of entry and exit.

Everything was arranged. At about the evening, Pang Xiang rushed over from the airport. Li Yi immediately called Luo Guofu and made an appointment with Adolf to inspect the goods tomorrow!

Luo Guofu was particularly concerned about such a large business, especially the commission involved in millions of commissions. Therefore, when he received a call from Li Yi, he did not notify Adolf, but rushed directly to the hotel where Li Yi was staying. He wanted to take a look first before talking about it.

Since Luo Guofu is in this business, he has a certain appreciation ability. After reading the painting, although he is not sure that this painting "Summer Carnival" must be the original work of Hans Hoffman, he can still see the same level of the painting.

Although it can be seen that the level of this painting is quite good, Luo Guofu still felt a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"Although there should be no problem, but...Boss, why don't we hire an appraiser tomorrow?"

"Please appraiser? Why?"

"If the person invited there said that this is a fake, we can argue, let's talk about it, let's ask someone to help you see it. What if the price offered by the other party is low? We won't suffer any losses, right..."

Li Yi sniffed twice, a Hans Hoffmann work was replaced by a picture of Corinthians and Raphael's work, and the other party paid 10 million euros. The deal was said to be a loss, and this guy was a little too greedy. However, his proposal was really worthy, but there was no need to be used in this "Summer Carnival".

"Luo Guofu, I think it is indeed necessary to invite an appraiser, but it is not me, but you."

"Oh? Why?"

Li Yi turned around and took out another paint tube from the cabinet and handed it to Luo Guofu, signaling him to open it himself and take a look.

Luo Guofu opened the painting tube with suspicion, opened the canvas inside that was rolled up to the outside, stared at the picture for a while, and suddenly let out a scream.

"Picasso, is this Picasso's work?"

"Yes, this is a work by Picasso. I'm going to exchange these things with this painting, and I'll ask you for help in this matter."

Li Yi took out the information that Luo Guofu gave him a few days ago. He had already chosen a few things on it. Although they were not from one family, he believed that Luo Guofu had the ability to help him coordinate.

"These items... it's not impossible to exchange them like this, but these things belong to three families, which is a bit difficult to deal with."

"Haha, it's not difficult to deal with it. Let's talk about it first! In fact, if I were these people, I would never give up a Picasso work for a few Chinese antiques. The only thing that is a bit difficult now is that there is only one painting, but there are three people who need to contact. But I think this should not be a problem for you."

Luo Guofu nodded a little embarrassedly. If he took out the painting, then this matter was indeed not difficult at all. He only needed to find one of the guys. As long as this guy wanted this painting, he would definitely help him with this matter. From this point of view, Li Yi was indeed very interesting and did not throw him away because he had to give him a commission. But what if the person who wanted this painting was him?

"Let me do this. I will contact a friend first and ask him to help us see the paintings, and give an estimate by the way. Then I will talk to these people."

Li Yi nodded,

"Before the transaction, you can take me to see the things. Maybe after seeing the actual product, I will choose two more."

Li Yi said, and took out a painted tube from the cabinet.

"I have another work by Emil Nold here, which is also the original one. If I want to choose something, I will use this painting to trade it."

Although Li Yi selected a few antiques on the information, in fact, what he wanted to see was not just these ones. He hoped to have the opportunity to see everything.

Although it is almost impossible to meet the kind of good things that John Carru encountered again, it is impossible to get a big vacancy, but it is not certain to get a small vacancy. What's more, according to Luo Guofu's description, the antiques they thought were more valuable were all antiques, and the antique dealers he found were actually collected several times that displayed on the information. Who knows if there would be any mistakes here?

It is not easy to read the collections of these people. After all, these people are distributed throughout Europe, and this time they are all for the Biennale, so it is naturally impossible to bring all the collections, especially those they think are of no value, while Li Yi's hope of finding a bargain is in the things they think are of no value.

Then we can only use these two works to show our sincerity in the transaction and see the opportunity in the future.

"Emir Nold? Oh my God, it's really his work. Where did you get these things?"

After Luo Guofu looked at the painting that Li Yixin took out carefully, a suspicious expression appeared in his eyes. In addition, he was about to exchange it for Adolf. These were all three oil paintings, and each of them was a work by a famous artist. How did he, a Chinese, do it?

His eyes were full of suspicion when he looked at the large wardrobe. Just when Li Yi opened the cabinet, he seemed to see a painted tube inside...

"Haha, no matter where you got it, there is no problem with the origin. If you are interested, this one is still the work of Emil Nold, and I will keep it as a backup."

Li Yi smiled and took out the remaining paintblock. He had already sent Hongchen back to Bordeaux for the rest of the works, which were about to be left in Europe. It was already the limit to be able to take out three paintings at a time. If there were more, it would be difficult for him to explain it even if he attracted attention.

After silently reading the painting, Luo Guofu took out his cell phone, took a few photos, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left. As soon as he left, Li Yi received a call from Tian Zechuan.

"Nnd, it's really hard to deal with little Japan! Brother Li, do you have time to come out for a cup of coffee?"

"Okay, no problem! Tell me a place, I'll go there."

Li Yi had been in contact with Tian Zekawa before, and knew that the negotiations on his side were extremely difficult. The Japanese side's initial intention was to change two items. After two days of negotiation, they made concessions to change five items. This time, Tian Zekawa asked him to meet. Is there any progress again, or can't continue to negotiate?

"There is no longer a deal. Japan's final condition is to replace the other 7 items. However, these 7 items cannot be completely selected by us. They designated 3 of them, and these 3 items cannot be counted as transactions. They have to sign an agreement for these 3 items, which is considered donations."

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and sneered:

"I'm going to build a archway as a ****, and I'll donate it... Let's see, which ones are there?"

Tian Zechuan pushed a piece of white paper in front of Li Yi. On it, there were ten antique names written on it. Seven of them were checked in front, but the colors were different. Three were red, and the remaining four were blue.

"The golden mask and bamboo slips actually donate? Who do they want to donate to?"

"Palace Museum."

"This is impossible!"

Tian Zekawa shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that Li Yi would not agree to this condition. However, the Japanese side also bit it very hard. If they do not agree to this exchange plan, then either choose 5 of the remaining 8 pieces, or one article "Wu Lu" can only exchange these two pieces.

In fact, the initial condition of Japan was to exchange "Wulu" with two pieces: golden mask and warring bamboo slips.

"It seems that they also understand the value of the things they brought out..."

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said:

"Director Tian, ​​let's do this for now. Thank you so much this time."

"Oh, it's okay, these are all things I should do. Moreover, although the talks have been hard these days, I still feel so good when I see them giving in a little bit. In the past, we were begging others... By the way, what do you mean by saying that it's like this? Let them go for a while?"

Li Yi shook his head,

"No, we won't play anymore! You can go back and tell the Japanese, just say that the owner of "Wulu" is extremely dissatisfied with this plan and doesn't want to talk to them anymore. Of course, you can also send them the information, that is, you think I seem to have found other people here, remember, you think it's you."

"Haha, OK! Although I think they probably won't believe it, it's good to make them suspicious."

"It may not necessarily make them suspicious. Maybe I can really find another group of people, maybe more than one group..."

Li Yi remembered Luo Guofu. This guy might not know Japanese antique dealers, but if friends come to be friends and everyone is hang out in this industry, he will definitely help him find another dealer. As for whether he can get through or not, that is another matter.

"Oh? Can you really find another group of people? But can they bring out something of this level?"

Tian Zechuan frowned. To be honest, he was quite satisfied with this plan, but no matter how satisfied he was, it was useless because the thing was not his. And most importantly, if Li Yi could find another group of people, he would probably not need to ask him to come forward to negotiate for him. Then the conditions he had agreed to would be useless and he would have done useless work this time.

"Haha, Director Tian, ​​don't worry. No matter who trades with you in the end, I can promise that the value of the cultural relics I will take out will not be less than 1 million..."

Li Yi knew what he was worried about when he saw Tian Zechuan's expression, so he opened his mouth to dispel his concerns. However, he also had a scheming here. He did not limit the number of antiques, but only said the value. If he couldn't bear to leave every piece in the end, he would take out the porcelain he got back from Dean to pay the bill. If he was not afraid of being cheap, we would just make a fuss about quantity.

Or, even if this negotiation is successful, he should use those porcelains to count. After all, even if the blue and white porcelain of the Yongzheng Dynasty was not valuable, it was the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty! And what works by Wang Yong and Gao Xiang are not more valuable than those porcelains?

After chatting with Tian Zechuan for a while, Li Yi said goodbye and returned to the hotel. Now that the bait has been sprinkled, it depends on what you can harvest next!

The next day, the first harvest came to him, and he knew that Hans Hoffman's "Summer Carnival" had arrived in Paris. Before Adolf could come to him, he took the initiative to come to him.

"Hello, Mr. Li Yi, this is a disciple of Mr. Robert Motherwell, a famous painter of the contemporary abstract expressionist school of painting. At the same time, he is also a famous oil painting appraisal master. I asked him to come and help me see the painting. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, of course no problem!"

Li Yi looked up and down at Mondrian while letting the two of them into the room.

It is different from the European painters and appraisers he has met before. This Mr. Mondrian is a super fat man.

He is about 40 years old and is not very tall, only about 1.7 meters tall. However, his waist must exceed this size, so if he wants to shake hands with him, he must try his best to stretch his arms to surpass his big belly that looks like he is pregnant with triplets.

Li Yi really didn't know how such a figure became a famous painter. Not to mention painting at a desk, even if he used an easel, his arms that were almost as thick as others' thighs would be difficult to reach his goal. Perhaps the brushes he used were lengthened?

However, although his image is not good, his identification level is not great. Because in just a dozen minutes, he not only confirmed that the painting "Summer Carnival" was the original work of Hans Hoffman, but also confirmed that the paintings of Picasso and Emil Nord were also authentic.

In fact, no matter who it is, as long as it is confirmed that these paintings are authentic, Li Yi will think that their level is not as good as it is...

After confirming the authenticity of the painting, Adolf had no intention of hesitation. This time he came here, he brought the two paintings with him. Of course, this trading on the spot would mean to prevent the slander.

Signing and depositing, transferring and paying, exchanging works with each other... In less than an hour, Adolf left with the painting with satisfaction. However, what Li Yi did not expect was that half an hour later, he actually received a call from Mondrian!
Chapter completed!
