Chapter 62 China’s lucky number is “7”

Father Zhao glanced sideways at the curator. He didn't know whether the other person did it on purpose or if he really couldn't guess what he wanted.

But no matter what he thinks.

In front of hundreds of cameras, Father Zhao spoke clearly and powerfully.

"My Mona Lisa will never be sold for money."

"If you want my painting, then give me something in exchange."

"As for what it is, it's very simple. Back then, you robbed us of China's things and returned them to our country in full."

The voice fell.

All the reporters present were shocked. They did not expect that Zhao's father would say these words, nor did they expect that the other party would be so disrespectful, and in front of the whole world, he would reveal something that Gaul had been unwilling to face or admit.

Said it out.

No, after Father Zhao said what he said, the curator's expression changed and he immediately retorted.

"Sorry, sir, all the cultural relics in the Louvre are collected legally. As for whether there is anything immoral in it, I don't know."

Hear his words.

Father Zhao was too lazy to argue with him about historical issues. He looked at the other party and said coldly: "So, curator, have you thought about what to exchange for it?"

As this question was raised, the curator was at a loss for words.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with exchanging art for art at first glance, but he didn't want to do it. He would rather spend money to buy it, so the curator asked tentatively.

"Do you think it can be in the form of money? Even a high price will do."

"No, if you can't make the decision, then please get out of the way. I believe there are many countries that like barter."

Zhao's father didn't show any respect and just pretended to leave.

"Wait. Wait a minute." The curator saw that Father Zhao was determined. Although he was in an extremely bad mood, he still stopped him with a smile on his face.

Father Zhao didn't say anything, just stood there and looked at the curator.

"Your request is rather troublesome. Can you please allow me to ask for instructions?"

"Please do it, but I won't give you too much time, because my time is precious." Zhao's father agreed, but added conditions.

"Okay!" The curator gritted his teeth and agreed. It can be said that he has never been slighted like this in his life, especially when the person who slighted him was a Chinese businessman. Suppressing the anger in his heart, the curator quickly disappeared, and after a while he took out his exclusive

Use your mobile phone to call the top.

As soon as the call was dialed, instructions were conveyed on the other end.

The instructions are very simple. You agree to this transaction method, but you must also specify the quantity and the grade of the cultural relics. At the same time, they will send national experts to re-evaluate them and make sure they are correct before the transaction can be formalized.

After receiving this instruction, the curator quickly came to Father Zhao.

As soon as the two met, Zhao's father asked: "How do you say it?"

"I agree with your transaction method. You can choose one of all the cultural relics in the Chinese exhibition area." The curator said with a smile.

After the curator finished speaking, Zhao's father was furious, and started angrily with an unhappy tone: "What? One piece? Who are you looking down on? The world-famous Mona Lisa, who co-authored it, is only worth one piece.

Antiques in the exhibition area? Since you are not sincere, then I will find others and see if other countries are willing to pay higher prices, especially Italy. I think they should be willing to pay higher prices."

After that, he took the things and left.

At the same time, Kristol, who was not too concerned about the excitement, stood up.

"Hello, sir, I am Christol, an appraiser from Italy. I have certain connections in my country. Are you interested in transferring this painting to us in Italy? I believe our official will give you a satisfactory answer."

The price, of course, does not refer to money, but to your Chinese antiques."

Kristol knew very well that even if Zhao's father agreed, he would not be able to take the painting away.

But there was only one reason why he did this, and that was because he hated the people of Gaul.

You must know that Leonardo da Vinci, the painter of the Mona Lisa, was from his country of Italy. It stands to reason that this painting is the national painting of his country of Italy, but for various reasons it ended up becoming the national painting of Gaul.

Under such circumstances, how could Kristol let go of this opportunity?

But what he didn't expect was that when he finished saying this, some other experts mistakenly thought that it could really be acquired. In an instant, other experts also spoke, and they all said that they could negotiate business with Zhao's father on behalf of their own country.

Seeing that there were more people involved, the curator became anxious. He didn't want to cause a bigger trouble, so he said decisively: "Mr. Zhao, please give me a price. How much do you want?"

"How much do I want? Let's do this. I won't say that much. I'll pick twenty antiques from the Huaxia exhibition area. If it's possible, we'll trade. If not, I'll take the painting away." Father Zhao didn't think too much.

, directly offered a "sky-high price".

To be honest, if he could, he would definitely want to take away all the Chinese antiques from the Louvre, but he knew that this was impossible, so he could only offer a high price first.

"Impossible!!!" Obviously the curator didn't accept it, and immediately rejected it after hearing the twenty antiques.

"Then tell me." Zhao's father scolded impatiently.

"Three pieces, three pieces at most." The curator hesitated for a long time before offering a price.

"Three pieces? This is the treasure of the museum, the unparalleled Mona Lisa, the second authentic painting in the world, you want three pieces????" Father Zhao had a strange skill and asked directly in disbelief.

Curator "Four" also felt a little inappropriate after hearing this, and once again raised his finger to tell the price.

But before he finished speaking, Father Zhao pretended to be at a disadvantage: "I'll take a step back, ten pieces."

"Impossible" the curator frowned and refused.

"Eight pieces is the lowest." Father Zhao disagreed and shook his head to bargain.

"Five pieces, the limit!" the curator said through gritted teeth.

"The number five is very unlucky in China, so I won't say anything more. Seven items. The number seven is of great significance to us in China." Father Zhao was actually very satisfied after hearing the five items, but he did

After so many years of business, how could he agree to it? Now he is in charge of the knife, and the curator is in charge of the fish. Wouldn't it be a shame not to ask for more at this time?

However, when Zhao's father finished saying this, the curator immediately waved his hand and said seriously.

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhao, although I don't know much about your Chinese culture, but as far as I know, the most auspicious numbers in your China are six and eight, and the most annoying number is four, so how can seven be auspicious?

number?"

Facing inquiries.

Father Zhao said without blushing: "No, no, no, curator, I need to educate you here. There are seven days from Monday to weekend, and what we Chinese people like most is the weekend, and the weekend is the seventh day.

So we Chinese people attach great importance to 70 points. If you don’t believe me, just ask the Chinese people in the audience.”

After the words fell, the few Chinese people in the audience immediately stood up to testify.

"Yes, yes, our lucky number in China is seven!"

"I testify that in order to make me lucky, my parents added 7 to my ID card, you see 19970207."

"This is the truth, I bear witness."

"I never lie. Chinese people have always liked the number seven since ancient times. For example, the ancient emperors called themselves Seven-Five Supreme."

"I don't know if you have read Journey to the West. When Taishang Laojun refined Sun Wukong, it was seventy-seven and forty-nine days. Why is it seventy-seven and forty-nine days? Because we Chinese people like seven!"

After a group of people testified, before the curator could say anything, many foreigners in the audience who had read Journey to the West also nodded.

"That makes sense."

"I have read Journey to the West, and I have indeed read the sentence "Seven, Seven and Forty-nine Days."

"Well, I admit that, I've seen it too."

"It seems that Chinese people really love Qi!"

However, the curator didn't care that much. He gritted his teeth and gave the final bargaining chip with a little anger: "No, five pieces is five pieces, no more. If there are more, then you can take this painting away."

Let’s go!!”

This sentence already has a slightly threatening meaning, and ordinary people might have agreed upon hearing this.

But Zhao's father was a shrewd businessman. He hesitated for a moment and expressed his thoughts: "Well, pick any five of them and give me two more cultural relics from the Chinese exhibition area you designated. What do you think?"

?”

At this point, the curator was helpless. He didn't expect the other party to be so smart.

After pondering for a while, he wanted to make a counteroffer, but was interrupted by Zhao's father as soon as he opened his mouth.

"If you continue to bargain, I will leave immediately. I don't believe that I will be in any danger in Gaul. If I am in danger, who in the world would dare to come to you?"

This sentence has a subtext, it is almost a threat to the curator. If you push me hard, I will really leave. Let me see if you dare to hurt me in front of the whole world.

Obviously this sentence was lethal. A minute later, the curator's face was almost ashen as he spoke one word through his teeth.

"good!!!!"
