Chapter 243 Hand over to... cough cough

"You may not understand, but I also listened to the appraiser first. "Mona Lisa's Smile" is the first painting painted for civilians in European history. All paintings before that are based on mythological and religious figures. As a prototype. If you say that the painting in your hand is earlier than "Mona Lisa's Smile", then this theory will be overthrown! Don't you think it's amazing?"

Sandro Botticelli's painting is Cupid, the little god of love in ancient Roman mythology, but the little boy in Da Vinci's painting is not a mythical figure, but an ordinary child. A landmark work of art!
Wu Qian still couldn't get the essence of the question, nodded vaguely, and said, "Let's not talk about that, will the appraiser who appraised the oil painting for you reveal the secret?"

As long as the news of Da Vinci's painting is revealed, the people of the three major Italian families will get wind of it, and trouble will happen.What's even more frightening is that at that time, it may not be as simple as the three major Italian families.

"The Baby and the Violet" appeared in the UK, and the UK would not let it go easily. Furthermore, France would definitely get in the way, because Da Vinci died in France at the end, and many French people thought from the bottom of their hearts that Da Vinci Finch is French...

If this matter is not handled properly, one mistake will be "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

Cooks knew Wu Qian's worry, he smiled mysteriously and said, "He won't remember what happened today..."

Wu Qian looked at Kuks in amazement, and found that the other party's face was as sluggish as ever. Who knew what advanced methods he used, Wu Qian suddenly remembered that Kuks had another "skill specialization", that is "Alchemist", Apothecary...

These skills are really useful at critical moments!
"By the way, Boss, when I came back just now, I found that Clark Vecchio and his group left the hotel..." Cooks said.

Wu Qian nodded. On the surface, Clark Vecchio chose to give up. What happened secretly, I don't know yet, and I need to guard against it.

At this time, news came from Ball and David, saying that there was nothing to gain. This situation was expected. Wu Qian asked the two of them to go to Sotheby's with the team of appraisers from the Celestial Dynasty to hand over all the auction items. return.

After making the phone call, Wu Qian fell into thought. It is not very safe to have so many artworks with him, especially Da Vinci's paintings. He is still uneasy if he does not send "Baby and Violet" to the Celestial Dynasty.

"Little Cupid" and "Baby and Violet" are about the same size. Wu Qian asked Kux to buy a copy of the mounting material, and DIYed it himself, and framed the two paintings together. People who don't know about "Little Cupid", usually don't suspect that there is another amazing work behind it.

Using a painting worth 300-500 million pounds to cover up a priceless treasure is really unpredictable.

"Kux, Rosalind, I plan to charter a plane to transport the lot and this painting back to the Celestial Dynasty first, who will escort it?" Wu Qian asked solemnly.

It is a very safe way to let "Baby and Violet" return to China along with the cultural relics of the Celestial Dynasty.Wu Qian does not plan to return to China at this time, he still has things to finish, and now is not a good time to release "Baby and Violet".

Cooks and Rosalind looked very serious, this task is not light, not to mention the immeasurable painting in the dark, the works of art and luxury goods on the surface are more than ten million pounds!If something went wrong, death would not be enough to apologize.

"Boss, let me go." Cooks said, he thought he was better than Rosalind in every aspect.

Rosalind shook her head and said: "Cux, you should stay with the BOSS, the BOSS is more important than a work of art, the Italians should be cautious! Also, the BOSS, you can contact the Chinese embassy and trust them If I know about your actions, I will definitely support you."

The return of cultural relics through formal channels must be worthy of praise.

It has been decided that Rosalind and Bauer will be responsible for the escort together, because Bauer can fly the plane, which may come in handy at critical moments.At the same time, the appraiser team from the capital also returned together.

After confirming the matter, Rosalind contacted the embassy in the name of Wu Qian, and talked about the return of a batch of cultural relics.

It wasn't until this time that the embassy knew that at the Sotheby's autumn auction, the one who won the most Chinese cultural relics was actually a person from their own country, and they said that they would send someone to the hotel to contact them.

At the same time, Cooks has arranged for the plane, which is not very big, but it is enough to fly from London to the capital of China. It takes off at night, and the plane is a German airline. The pilot and Cooks used to be a part of the Comrades in time, not so exaggerated as the fateful friendship, but at least they are trustworthy.

At 5:03 p.m., in the Royal Penthouse Suite of Corinthia Hotel, 36 pieces of exquisite porcelain and 4 pieces of jade were displayed one by one.

Wu Qian mentioned that these cultural relics have been appraised by professional appraisers one by one, and there should not be a single fake. and heartbroken.

"Mr. Wu, this is a great achievement." An official in his 50s shook hands with Wu Qian, with no concealment of appreciation and surprise in his eyes.Wu Qian's age is unimaginably young, but in his early 24s, he has such a family and country feeling, which is very rare.

Wu Qian shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's just a little effort."

The officials wanted to hold a small ceremony for Wu Qian, but Wu Qian repeatedly refused.

"Mr. Wu, the Beijing Museum will definitely hold a special exhibition for this. There are 40 cultural relics worth more than 2000 million yuan. I hope you will not refuse. You can rest assured of 1000 million yuan in terms of safety. I apologize to you in the name of * Guaranteed, there will be absolutely no mistake!" The official said with an extremely solemn expression.

Every time a large number of cultural relics return, the relevant museums will hold an exhibition for them. Naturally, there are various meanings in it. Wu Qian did not reject this matter. He thinks it is good, especially in terms of safety. He is really at ease.

"Since it is going to be exhibited, I think the Western oil painting I received can also be exhibited together. Someone offered 400 million pounds for this oil painting, but I didn't sell it. It can also be used for publicity at that time. Some Western artworks have arrived. Heaven, what do you think?"

Wu Qian thinks that no one is more reliable than the state to keep it temporarily. Didn't you hear it? Guaranteed in the name of *, it's not a joke!
