Chapter 243 Fake Painting
Xu Youyou didn't need to ask others about the price of such a treasure to know that it must be priceless.
"If you want to take action, you can go through the He family. In terms of the ability to find buyers, no one is better than them." Lu Jingyao suggested.
Although he didn't know what agreement the current head of the He family, He Zhilan, and Xu Youyou had reached, but judging from the several interactions between the two, it was obvious that the new head of the family respected Xu Youyou very much, and even vaguely wanted to take Xu Youyou as his leader.
If He Zhilan hadn't been a woman, Lu Jingyao would have almost suspected that she was pursuing Xu Youyou several times seeing how enthusiastic she was towards Xu Youyou.
"I don't plan to sell it," Xu Youyou said.
She is not as short of money as she used to be. Moreover, she has only reached an agreement with Mr. Zheng a few days ago to sell the butterfly-patterned plate to him for 300 million. Xu Youyou feels that this trip to France is already worth a lot of money. Complete.
She looked at the cloisonné unicorn, and for some reason she thought of the catastrophe a hundred years ago. For someone like her who loves money as much as her life, she couldn't help but have thoughts of dedication rising in her heart.
"I am going to donate this cultural relic to the country." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao was not particularly surprised when he heard this, and said: "The return of overseas cultural relics to the country is indeed a big event, but there are many ways to know when to donate them and how to donate them."
This was the first time Xu Youyou heard about this and asked: "I thought I could donate anytime I wanted? Will it still not be accepted?"
Lu Jingyao chuckled lightly and reminded: "The He family knows the inside story best. If you have nothing else to ask for, you can donate it anytime, but the matter with Mr. Xie has not been resolved yet."
Xu Youyou paused after hearing this. She only knew that there was a huge hatred between Xie Ran and Xing Zhuan.
Xie Ran can be said to be Xu Youyou's most important wage earner for more than a year. If she could help him get revenge in advance, Xu Youyou would be willing to donate a few more priceless treasures.
"Then I will work harder abroad." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao suddenly asked: "Do you know why many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries like to collect antiques?"
Xu Youyou thought this was a bit strange and asked: "Isn't it because it has collection value? Or maybe you like the artistic value hidden in antiques?"
Lu Jingyao on the other side of the screen shook his head and said: "There is a superstitious saying that has been circulating in the circle, that is, borrowing luck. You should know better than me that a large proportion of the determinants of the value of antiques come from the original The higher the status of the owner, the first owner, the higher the value of the antique will be.”
What Lu Jingyao said was common sense in the antique circle. Xu Youyou was keenly aware of his intention to use this as a preamble: "Does the buyer collect antiques to borrow money from the original owner?"
< br>
Lu Jingyao nodded: "There are many people who really believe in this statement. They feel that no matter what the final outcome of the first-generation owners is, if they can leave their names in history, they are already lucky. If they can borrow a little bit from it, maybe they will be lucky." Will help you get through the difficulties.”
Xu Youyou instinctively doubted this statement: "But there are still many people who collect antiques who have gone bankrupt and even committed suicide by jumping off a building. This is not like getting through the difficulties."
Lu Jingyao smiled and said: "It's just a statement. No one knows whether it is true or false."
"Then what does this have to do with me donating cultural relics?" Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask.
Lu Jingyao said: "I am now hoping that this statement will be true. The more antiques you get, the stronger your luck will be, which will make you safer."
Listening to these loving words, Xu Youyou couldn't help but let her mind wander. In the last life, Xie Ran could have taken revenge even without the help of this so-called metaphysics. In this life, the conditions are more favorable. Even if the time for revenge is advanced, it should be a certainty. Xu Youyou visited the second-hand market for another three days. Her good taste allowed her to find several more treasures. Although none of them could compare with the value of the cloisonné unicorn or the butterfly-pattern flower mouth plate, there were so many. The total value of the treasures is over 100 million.
Xu Youyou even met Chen Moli again, but she refused the kindly offered guide service. She devoted herself to treasure hunting. The more things she found, she couldn't help but sigh. Compared with the domestic antique market where almost all products are from Yiwu. , or there are more opportunities abroad.
In the final analysis, most foreigners are ignorant of these treasures that have been passed down from China. In the long inheritance, if the elders just say a few words, the younger generation who inherits the treasures will most likely circulate the things to the market according to the value of ordinary items. superior.
On the day Xu Youyou planned to leave Paris, Lu Jingyao finally finished his domestic affairs and flew over.
"I really doubt that you have collected all the treasures in Paris." Lu Jingyao looked at the Paris villa, almost half a room filled with precious cultural relics.
Xu Youyou said: "It's a pity that we only found one in Paris. Many treasures are probably still hidden in the hands of private collectors."
When Lu Jingyao heard this, he couldn't help but think of the humiliating history a hundred years ago, and said instead: "Are you going to donate all these cultural relics?"
Xu Youyou nodded slightly.
Lu Jingyao didn't try to persuade him any more. He just looked at one of the flower and bird paintings and studied it carefully for a long time.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Huang Quan's works would be spread overseas." Lu Jingyao said with emotion.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
Huang Quan was a court painter in Western Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He was especially good at meticulous peonies. Now Lu Jingyao has a peony painting in his hand.
Xu Youyou sighed and said: "Although this painting is so fake that it can be mistaken for the real thing, it is not the real thing, but an imitation by later generations. It is just one of the best."
Lu Jingyao was stunned when he heard this. It was not that he doubted Xu Youyou's appraisal skills, but that there were many stamps on the painting.
The person who stamped the seal was none other than Emperor Qianlong, who was famous for his love of stamping.
Xu Youyou thought it was Huang Quan's genuine work at first. Even the painting was the same as a painting and calligraphy work she bought in the past. It was a painting within a painting.
When she was shopping at a second-hand market, she immediately noticed that the thickness of the painting was wrong, and she immediately bought it. When she returned to her residence, she disassembled it and discovered the peony painting inside.
She was extremely excited at first, but after waiting for a long time, the system did not give her a reward for picking up missing items.
In the past few days, Xu Youyou has received a lot of rewards for picking up leaks. Even if she buys porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty at a low price, the system will give a small symbolic reward.
This time I spent 20,000 euros to buy Huang Quan's peony painting. Logically speaking, the system should not have any reaction.
Xu Youyou almost chased after the system to ask.
The system reluctantly explained: [This is a fake painting that once defrauded Emperor Qianlong. The painter is not famous. Its market value should not exceed the 20,000 euros you paid. 】
