Chapter 230 I believe in you!
In Western history, Da Vinci is a legend.

During the Renaissance, so many scientists, astronomers, mathematicians, and artists were born, which changed the world upside down.And Leonardo Da Vinci lived in that era, but he is still a legend, and everyone from princes to ministers to ordinary people regards Leonardo Da Vinci as an idol.

All of Da Vinci's scientific research results are preserved in his manuscripts, which are about 15000 pages long. Einstein once said that if Da Vinci's scientific research results were published to the public in the 15th century, technology could be at least half ahead of time. century.

One person promotes the science and technology of an era for half a century!
Seeing Wu Qian's reaction, the heirs of the three major families were very satisfied. This is what they wanted.

Wu Qian's first reaction when he heard the news was surprise, amazement, and astonishment, but his second reaction was, I believe you!
"Mr. Rapo Elkann, do you believe me that there is a statue carved by Michelangelo Buonarotti in Leeds Castle?" Wu Qian asked.

If Da Vinci represents the pinnacle of Renaissance painting, Michelangelo Buonarroti is the pinnacle of sculpture.

Regarding Wu Qian's gag, the heirs of the three major families couldn't laugh, especially Lapo Elkann, who was the first to get the news. He got the diary of a student of Da Vinci from a special channel manuscript.

The diary manuscript records that Da Vinci had a very stunning painting before returning to Florence from Milan, but was stolen by his servant, and finally the servant traveled across the ocean to the other side of the strait...

It was around 1500, and Britain across the French Channel was in the Tudor era.

When Rapo Elkann got the news, he couldn't turn a blind eye to it. He traced it all the way, and all the last signs pointed to Leeds Castle.

During the Tudor dynasty, Henry VII, as the first monarch, did not let the queen live in Leeds Castle.It was not until Henry VIII succeeded to the throne that only women of the royal family lived in Leeds Castle. The thief finally appeared in the Leeds Castle of Henry VIII of the Tudor Dynasty.

"I won't say much about the specific investigation process. In short, I can tell you with certainty. There is a Leonardo da Vinci painting hidden in Leeds Castle, maybe in an unknown corner, maybe buried Under the ground, maybe... Anyway, it definitely exists!" Labo Erkan said with certainty.

Of course, Rapo Elkann would not mention the many difficulties and hardships during the investigation process to Wu Qian. During the process, he discovered other secrets, and he would not let outsiders know about the secret of Da Vinci's painting. The guy who leaked to the other two big families, Lapo Elkann, has been dealt with.

When Wu Qian saw Labo Erkan's expression, he already believed it out of ten. There are no random things in the world, and many things can be traced.The most important thing is that it doesn't make much sense for the other party to lie to him at this time. Leeds Castle is in his own hands, let him toss around, and he will discover any secrets sooner or later.

Wu Qian can understand Rapo Elkann's behavior. After all, Da Vinci is an Italian, and it is reasonable to say that he is a "treasure from Italy". Therefore, the heirs of the three major families are eager to find paintings to bring back to China. make sense.

Wu Qian couldn't help sighing in his heart, this news shocked him even more than getting 500 billion pounds.

Leonardo Da Vinci was not a prolific painter, because he wanted to do too many things in his life, and dabbled in too many fields. He also wanted to do this and that, and he did all of them very well. , which resulted in very little time for him to concentrate on painting.

Because there is too little time to use, Da Vinci even specially studied a "polyphasic sleep method", so that he only needs to rest for 1.5 hours a day, and the rest of the time can be used to study science in various fields, even So, time is still not enough.

Although Wu Qian chose to believe it in his heart, his head shook like a rattle, and he teased: "Mr. Lapo Elkann, I'm sorry, I have deep doubts about your words, and I think you are making fun of me! Time is running out It's too early, let's end our conversation today. It's really absurd..."

Wu Qian issued an order to evict the guest, no matter it was true or not, the impact of the exposure of this matter was too great, and he needed to deny it vigorously.

How can the heirs of the three major families agree to this? Didn’t they say it well just now? Let’s share the secret with you first, and then we’ll discuss the deal together. After we find Da Vinci’s paintings, the deal will be concluded. They will bring Da Vinci ·Finch's painting returned to China, honored, the whole process was relaxed and happy, and the cooperation was seamless.

Clark Vecchio said: "Wu, do you think it is necessary for us to deceive you? There is no doubt about the authenticity of this matter. Now it's time to talk about the deal between us."

The Italians have an unparalleled dedication to Leonardo da Vinci's works, which Wu Qian believes, just like he also wants to bring back the "Nvshishizhitu" collected in the British Museum, but it is not so easy!

"I don't know where you guys got the news. Anyway, I don't believe it. Unless you show evidence... No, I don't believe it either. The last oil painting of Master Da Vinci in private hands, "Savior Mundi" has been auctioned off a few years ago, and there will definitely be no more, um, definitely gone."

The "Savior of the World" mentioned by Wu Qian is naturally familiar to the people of the three major families. The painting was sold at Christie's auction house in the United States in 2017. The highest price in art auction history.

Leonardo da Vinci's paintings are too rare, and they are quite sought after by the world. Most of the paintings have been collected in museums around the world and belong to the country, so it is impossible to put them up for auction.

So when the "Savior of the World" appeared in the world, it immediately caused an uproar. As long as the authentic work of this legendary figure has a certain financial strength and a certain interest in this aspect, the rich will definitely not be stingy.

In the end, the price soared all the way, reaching 4 million knives. If it is placed today, the price will be even higher than this!

The heirs of the three major families judged the value of Leeds Castle based on the price of "Savior Mundi". Of course, a certain margin was calculated, but in the end it was still not photographed. It exceeded the budget, so they had to go other ways, but never thought of anything else The road was not easy to walk, and I encountered a prickly prickly pear.

If the heirs of the three major families, especially Rapo Elkann, were allowed to come back for a few hours, he would definitely bid again and would not choose to go this way.

But there is no regret medicine in the world!
