Choosing to go to Moscow in December is definitely not a good experience, because this season's Moscow 26 is not only cold, but also often rains.

Fortunately, there was Luo Guofu, and Li Yi and his party got on the fully heated business car before leaving the airport. Then they rushed all the way and drove directly into the indoor parking lot of Luo Guofu's villa. Along the way, they didn't feel the coldness of Moscow at all.

The treasures exchanged in Paris were all escorted back to China by Hongchen. The items that Li Yi had previously stored in Bordeaux were also the collections he had made up his mind to play the big ones if he wanted to play.

The one who went to Moscow with him was the Moonlight Night. Although he did not decide whether to exchange it for the courtyard, trading with Pavel Mamayev was undoubtedly the best choice. Apart from such a lunatic, it was difficult to find someone who was willing to pay such a high price for an oil painting.

On the side of Luo Guofu, he also notified Fat Elephant and asked him to send Cezanne's still life from China as soon as possible.

As for whether this work is worth enough to let him take Luo Guofu's collection back, he didn't think too much about it. Now he doesn't have many resources. If it is not enough, then just pay cash directly. Anyway, there are still 300 million US dollars waiting for him!

Luoguofu's villa has a distinctly modern Russian style, simple, tall, serious, tough but lacks warmth.

But this warmth is not the same. Luo Guofu's villa is not only equipped with heating, but also a huge fireplace. The temperature in the room is like Yanjing at the turn of spring and summer. It is no longer just a matter of warmth, but it is so hot that people can't keep their clothes at all.

"This ancient building was built when my grandfather was still alive. It has no other characteristics, it is big. Not only are the rooms big, doors, windows and even stairs are twice as big as modern villas. There is no way, it was the style at that time."

Luo Guofu briefly introduced this big villa that has been around 80 years old, and his tone was full of pride.

"What do you drink? Some vodka? I promise it's absolutely authentic!"

"Vodka? That thing that is said to be higher than alcohol? God, I can't drink it."

Li Yi doesn't care. There is Polygonum multiflorum water there, let alone vodka, even if he really lets him drink alcohol, it's probably okay, but Tan Moxuan couldn't stand it and simply refused.

Luo Guofu didn't care either, so he poured a cup for himself and Li Yi alone, and then got to the point.

"Boss, I am a businessman. The ultimate purpose of all the goods I run is to make money, so I don't mind you paying for money to move all these Chinese cultural relics to your museum. However, if you can still exchange things that interest me, I am very willing and even prefer this method because it is very gambled! I like gambling, and all Russians like gambling."

Li Yi knew that this guy thought he could never get good things again, but he didn't need to rush to explain. He would understand everything when the fat elephant got to the point.

"Well, no matter which trading method I'm most concerned about now is where your stuff is and when will I be able to see them."

"Haha, my dear boss, you are indeed a cheerful person! They are in this villa, and you can see them at any time if you want."

"Is that so? Then let's not waste our time..."

Li Yi swallowed the remaining half of the glass of strong wine into his stomach in one gulp, then put the empty cup and stood up.

Luo Guofu didn't expect Li Yi to be so anxious. He scratched his scalp, muttered a word of Russian, drank the wine in the glass, and then took Li Yi and the others to the basement.

"All my treasures are collected here. This is the collection of several generations of the Luo Guofu family. You can read it slowly. Call me any questions if you have any questions."

"no problem……"

Li Yi dealt casually, and his eyes were attracted by the pieces of porcelain on the shelf on his left, including Ding Kiln white porcelain carved discs, Ru Kiln celadon lotus leaf mouth bottles, Jun Kiln sky blue glaze bowls, Jizhou Kiln paper-cutting decals and plum branch pattern cups... they are all treasures that open the door!

After two days of struggling with Luo Guofu's house, Li Yi selected 328 pieces of treasures, of which more than half of them were porcelain, reaching 212 pieces.

In addition to the precious porcelains in Taiwan's walled houses, the quality of these porcelains is the highest that Li Yi has ever seen. Among them, there are as many as 49 ancient porcelains from the Song Dynasty alone, and there are two Yuan blue and white pieces, and 12 ancient porcelains from the Qing Dynasty. But these are the combined value of more than 80 million euros!

"Luo Guofu, you have already identified that still life work. Now, we should talk about the transaction, you can offer the price."

"Okay boss, besides that still life, I think you should pay me another 42 million euros, yes, yes, 42 million euros."

Li Yi frowned. In addition to the 63 precious porcelains, the other 265 cultural relics were estimated to be 42 million euros. In other words, the value of this batch of antiques should be around 130 million euros.

The experts invited by Luo Guofu estimated that Renoir's still life painting was only 70 million to 75 million euros. Even if it was calculated at the highest of 75 million, Li Yi still needed to pay him another 55 million euros.

Now Luo Guofu only asked him for 42 million euros. Although there were deviations in the judgment of the value of the cultural relics from both sides, that is, Li Yi might have found another bargain. But it is also impossible to say that Luo Guofu has definitely made quite huge concessions in the price.

Li Yi looked at Tan Moxuan, and nodded when he saw that he had no expression.

"No problem, please help me pack everything. By the way, there is another thing to bother you. Can you contact the richest man Pavel Mamayev?"

"Pavel? What are you looking for him? He doesn't have much of your Chinese things in his hands."

"Haha, you can just contact me, and you will know what's going on after contacting me."

"Okay, I'll try it, but you have to tell me what to do with him, otherwise his assistant would never convey my request."

Li Yi hesitated for a moment. The reason why he didn't let Luo Guofu contact him was because he was afraid that he would affect the transaction between them after he knew it. Now that the transaction has been completed, it should be no problem, right?

"Since that's the case, then tell him that I have news about "Moonlight Night".

"Oh Maiga, "Moonlight Night"? Kramskoy's "Moonlight Night"? Oh my God! Boss, can you tell you where you got the news?"

"Haha, don't worry about this, please contact me first."

"No problem! If he is in Moscow, I think he will definitely come to see you as soon as possible."

While muttering softly, Luo Guofu found a number from the address book. After dialing, he asked a few questions and then dialed another number, and then waited anxiously for the phone call to answer.

"I don't have Pavel's contact information here, but my friend has his assistant's phone number... Hello, hello..."

While Luo Guofu was still explaining to Li Yi, the phone was connected. The two sides communicated a few words in Russian. Luo Guofu hung up the phone with an excited look on his face.

"He said he contacted Pavel immediately and would come back to me after confirmation. Thank you for your blessing. I have never had him close! By the way, boss, you can tell me now..."

"If I'm right, I think that painting should be in my hands."

"puff!"

Luo Guofu squirted at that time and almost threw away the phone.

"You mean, that Moonlight Night, that Moonlight Night, that Pavel is looking for, and the Moonlight Night drawn by Kramskoy, is in your hands?"

Seeing Li Yi nodding calmly, Luo Guofu covered his face with his hands and let out a low wail that was not as loud as a human voice. This is too damn bad. Picasso, Cezanne, Renoir, now there is a Cramskoy again. You sister, I'm obviously a European, okay?

While he was struggling, the phone suddenly rang. Luo Guofu picked it up and shouted excitedly, then smiled at Li Yi:

"This time it was Pavel's call himself. He said, See you in an hour... Oh Maiga, I still can't accept this. It's a fact..."

Unlike Li Yi imagined, Pavel Mamayev was a fucking and thin old man. His orange-skinned face looked almost in his seventies, eighties, but his spirit was still very strong and he had no problems in his actions.

There were about a dozen people following Pavel, driving a total of three cars. There were assistants, bodyguards, appraisers and even a private doctor, just like stars supporting the moon.

“Where is the drawing?”

Pavel's voice was low and hoarse, and the expression on his face was very serious.

Li Yi turned his head slightly, and Gu Feng took out the Moonlight Night from the suitcase that had been dragged out long ago.

"That's right, it's this one. I remember seeing it when I was very young, but later when the war broke out, everything went in a mess. I didn't expect that after so many years I could see it again..."

To everyone's surprise, Pavel recognized the painting at first sight before the appraiser took action. The old man gently stroked the picture with his trembling hands, and the skin on his excited face was trembling, and it took him a while to get back on his back.

"Young man, I want this painting and tell me about your conditions."

His English is more fluent than Li Yi's.

"Oh... I heard Luo Guofu say that you once said that no matter who finds this painting, you are willing..."

"Yes, yes, I'm always paying attention to it. The most expensive work now seems to be £196 million? I should remember correctly, right?"

"No."

"It's good that there isn't, young man, do you want money?"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Ahem, it's a pity. It would be great if you had found me a few years ago. It's a bit late now. Because I don't have money, or rather, I don't have that much money!"
Chapter completed!
