money trouble

Chapter 241 Young man, don't joke...

After all the "theatre-watching" people left, Wu Qian asked Bauer and David to immediately go to Leeds Castle to remove all the heavy wooden doors.

"The Italians will definitely have doubts about the castle. We shouldn't put the door back in a disguise. I think it's better to tear it down so that others don't know the specific situation. What if there are other discoveries?" Wu Qian said.

Kukes slapped his forehead. It is true that he didn't think carefully about this matter. It was also last night that he was pressed for time. He didn't have time to think about it. He only opened a door and found an oil painting. How can there be such a coincidence? Why not all Break up and confuse the public.

Bauer and David were very happy to be able to entrust them to do this task. On behalf of BOSS, they trusted him very much. The two tall and strong men drove towards Leeds Castle.

Naturally, this action could not escape the eyeliner of those who cared. Knowing that the other party must not be reconciled, they went to search again, but the people of the three major families had nothing to do about it. 6 million pounds is exchanged for a piece of art worth 300 million to 500 million pounds. If it is replaced by a grumpy one, a bomb may blow up the castle.

Wu Qian sat in the hotel and thought about what to do next. He asked Kukes, "Kux, I want to identify another painting. Is there a way to determine the author and author of the oil painting without revealing it?" True or false?"

Without finalizing the painting, Wu Qian still felt uneasy.

Kux thought for a while, smiled lazily, and said, "Leave it to me, Boss, I need to take some photos."

Wu Qian took "Baby and Violet" out of the room, and every time he saw this painting, he felt incomparably amazed.

Kux took some pictures with his mobile phone, first partial ones, such as eyes, mouth, small puddles, flowers, etc., then took two pictures of the upper and lower parts, and left.

In the outside world, there are naturally many people who want to inquire about Leeds Castle. If Wu Qian really found Da Vinci's paintings, then the heirs of the three major families will definitely publicize them and put all kinds of pressure on him so that he can act on his own.

But the current situation is not the case. Wu Qian seems to have been tricked. In other words, if any of the three of them took pictures of Leeds Castle, one of them would be tricked. This is a very disgraceful thing.Therefore, whenever someone calls to inquire, the three of them are vague and unwilling to explain in detail.

The fact that Wu Qian bought an oil painting worth only a few million pounds for 6 million pounds was only circulated in a small area. Not many people knew about it, and more people were kept in the dark.Today, with the development of the Internet, there are many headlines in the news every day, and the incident at Leeds Castle will be over in a few days.

But the relevant departments in the UK are still very concerned. They took the initiative to contact Wu Qian, and their attitude was very good.

Wu Qian originally planned to go out for a business trip in the afternoon, but the people from the relevant British departments were very enthusiastic and hoped to contact him. Wu Qian refused, so he had to postpone his next move. In other people's territory, he still had to Give me some face.

"Mr. Wu, to be honest, I heard from Mr. Rapo of the Agnelli family that you found a valuable painting in Leeds Castle. Is that true?" An old gentleman about 50 years old asked road.

The meeting place was still in the Royal Penthouse Suite of the hotel. According to Wu Qian's words, it is not convenient to carry such a precious oil painting around. If you want to talk, come to me to talk.

The relevant departments are very well prepared. They do not represent one side, not only the government, but also the British Museum. The one who spoke just now is the director of the Western Art Museum of the British Museum, Bergler.

"You guys got the news quickly, why didn't you move so fast yesterday evening?" Wu Qian sarcastically said, and after finishing speaking, he asked Rosalind to take out the painting.

When Sandro Botticelli's paintings were presented in front of several appraisers, they all sighed and were extremely excited.Every Renaissance painting is a treasure, worthy of preservation and study.

However, treasures are also valuable. How can such a painting be worth 6 million pounds for Leeds Castle?Everyone can't understand this question.

They didn't know that there was something about Da Vinci in it, so they couldn't figure it out. The appraisers didn't care about that. They were seriously appraising the oil painting to distinguish its authenticity.

"Mr. Wu, did you pay a lot of money to take pictures of Leeds Castle because you heard that there was such an oil painting in the castle?" Curator Bergler asked in a soft voice. Don't put on airs.

"Of course, I spent 6 million pounds to take pictures of Leeds Castle, just for this Da Vinci's oil painting, a masterpiece!" Wu Qian said, he was so helpless that he wanted to perform it again, Wu Qian thought in his heart .

The appraiser was frightened by Rosalind's translation of Wu Qian's words, and almost sprained his feet standing there.What the hell?Da Vinci?Boy, don't be kidding...

Curator Bergler kept slamming his mouth. Let’s not talk about the authenticity of this painting, but he can tell who the author is at a glance. The very distinctive style is obviously Sandro Bottici. Lee's paintings.

"Ahem." Curator Bergler was a little embarrassed. Combined with the vagueness of the Italians before, he figured out a lot of things in an instant. The behavior of Wu Qian and the three major Italian families also got a reasonable explanation. It must be wrong. I knew where I got the crooked news, but I took it seriously.

"Young Mr. Wu, there is something I want to explain. It may hit you a little bit. You'd better be mentally prepared..." Curator Bergler almost repeated what Clark Vecchio had said before. .

Wu Qian listened to it again as if he was listening to a story. After the curator Bergler finished speaking, the appraiser also completed the appraisal. In terms of the use of color, painting skills, color fading, etc., he was 100% sure that it was authentic.

"Well, before the Italians also said that it was an oil painting by Sandro Botticelli, I didn't believe it before... Now your appraiser from the British Museum also said so, it seems to be true, alas... "Wu Qian said with a depressed face.

"Mr. Wu, although the commercial value of this painting is not as good as Da Vinci's works, you must know that art is priceless. The British Museum is willing to pay 400 million pounds to buy it from you. I don't know if you are willing to part with it." ?”

Director Bergler spoke in a set manner, with a very polite tone. The law is like this. This painting already belongs to Wu Qian. Even if he wants to buy it, he must pay the market price or go through the auction house.

Sandro Botticelli's reputation is not as high as that of Da Vinci, but such a Renaissance oil painting that has never been published is definitely of high value. Director Bergler's perspective on this matter is, Obviously different from the three major Italian families, as long as it is European art, he is rare.

PS: At first I thought the turmoil was over, but I never thought that there would be another turmoil...every day is trembling. Do you think you should let it go or restrain it?
