money trouble

Chapter 244 Football game?

The official was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect the value of this oil painting to be so high. The 400 million pounds is nearly 3500 million soft sister coins, which can be regarded as a very expensive work of art.

"Mr. Wu, this is an oil painting from the Renaissance period, haha, I believe Chinese art lovers will be extremely happy and relieved to see Western artworks being exhibited in China!" said the official.

After counting the cultural relics of the Celestial Dynasty, Wu Qian handed over two Patek Philippe watches, the acoustic guitar used by the Beatles, and the painting "Little Cupid" to Rosalind and Bauer.

"Although there are people watching for me, you are the ones I can trust the most. Help me watch and call me when you land." Wu Qian whispered in the ears of the two of them.

Rosalind and Bauer responded to Wu Qian's order with their own country's salute respectively, with extremely solemn expressions.

The officials of the embassy saw this scene and didn't think much about it. The total value of all the auction items exceeded [-] million yuan, so the other party couldn't care less.

But he didn't know that if the oil painting in Bauer's hand was exposed now, it would be absolutely impossible for them to board the plane safely...

The embassy operation, the British side will naturally give a lot of convenience, there is a long queue of 10 cars at the entrance of the Corinthia Hotel.Wu Qian followed the convoy to Heathrow International Airport, where the plane was already waiting.

The embassy also sent a number of security personnel, plus the appraiser team, and the people sent by Wu Qian, there are more than 20 people in total. Although the plane is not as big as the A380-900, it is enough.

All the lots that Wu Qian bought through Sotheby's auction house had formal procedures, and there were documents from the embassy, ​​so there was naturally no obstacle from the Celestial Dynasty.

Except for Wu Qian and his four bodyguards, no one knew that a priceless Renaissance treasure slipped away from Great Britain and flew to the territory of the Celestial Dynasty.

Wu Qian stood by the runway and watched the plane flying into the dark sky in the distance. He let out a long breath. With a time bomb beside him, it always makes people uneasy.

Wu Qian's action of transporting cultural relics and artworks back to the Celestial Dynasty naturally made everyone aware of it. The people in the relevant British departments felt helpless, but they didn't feel too uncomfortable. They obtained the painting legally.

Moreover, the other side made it clear that they want to invest in the UK. It is unwise for many politicians in charge of the economy to offend such a wealthy businessman for a multi-million-pound oil painting. What the UK needs now is fresh capital, not a An oil painting from 500 years ago.

The most depressing one is the curator of Western art at the British Museum.

"A Sandro Botticelli oil painting just flew to the east, I want to cry..." curator Bergler said sadly.

"Come on, Bergler. You often say the phrase 'art has no borders'. Why do you start to feel distressed?" The curator of the Egyptian Pavilion said disdainfully. The question is very disagreeable, and it is very happy to see the other party deflated.

If the relevant departments and the British Museum know that "Little Cupid" is just a cover to cover up a stunning work by Leonardo da Vinci, they will probably run all the way along the Eurasian continent, Get back the oil painting under "Little Cupid".

The people of the three major Italian families naturally heard the news that Clark Vegio had gone back to Italy, and he was determined not to participate in this matter, but Rapo Elkann still had illusions and did not leave.

"Some things really shouldn't be rushed. My dear friend Wu from the Celestial Dynasty, isn't there an old saying in your country that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You are so impatient that you can't beat Da Vinci's oil painting, haha. Every Da Vinci painting Qi's paintings are revealed to the world only after going through ups and downs, idiot..."

"Wu must be very depressed. Isn't there a ball in France in a while? The organizers of the ball don't know that there is such a Chinese friend in Europe. Make a call and tell us an interesting story about our Chinese friend. , should send out an invitation letter, let him make a good 'show' at the reception, hahaha."

The people around Rapo Elkann were also very happy, and he was very happy to see that those who dared to make their own BOSS deflate made jokes.

"Looking at this, I'm afraid Wu did not find Da Vinci's paintings, haha, 6 million pounds, what a big joke..." Olawon Berlusconi sat in the castle very comfortably.

He doesn't have many company affairs to deal with, the family business doesn't let him interfere, and his own company has someone to take care of it, so he likes to join in the fun everywhere. The Leeds Castle incident is over, and he plans to change places to play.

On Wu Qian's side, watching the plane disappear into the night, he called Xiong Yali.

At 8 o'clock in the evening in the UK and 4 o'clock in the morning in the Tianchao, Xiong Yali was sleeping in Manor No. [-] without any accidents. The procurement task of salix seedlings has been completed, and the place to plant salix has been selected, and it can be done immediately after delivery Rush to the Northwest Territories to start planting.

When Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin were sleeping soundly, a bell rang and they woke up at the same time.

"Wu Qian?" Xiong Yali answered the phone in a daze.

"Yali, go to sleep. Let me tell you something. I bought two watches and a guitar at an auction in England. I will arrive at Beijing International Airport in 10 hours. Please help me receive them."

After the phone call, Xiong Yali looked puzzled, why did she ship the lot back to China first?Doubts are doubts, she wrote down everything Wu Qian explained.

"Sister, what does little brother want from you?" Luo Xiaxin asked in a daze. Since Wu Qian went abroad, the two have been sleeping together. The villa is too big, and it is a little scary for two women to live separately.

Xiong Yali said: "It's okay, Wu Qian took some pictures in England, let me pick you up at the airport tomorrow, let's go to sleep." There is still a long time before the plane arrives in the capital, but it does not affect sleep.

After Wu Qian dealt with this matter, he was relaxed physically and mentally. On the way back to the hotel from the airport, he received a call from James May. Although the assistant bodyguard Rosalind was not by his side, Kux's translator was also very good, and there was no problem in communicating. .

James May said that he would come back from France tomorrow, and asked Wu Qian if he was still in the UK. Wu Qian and the other party made an appointment to have dinner together at noon tomorrow, and then went to the Silverstone Circuit to play cars in the afternoon.

"Wu, there will be a very exciting football game tomorrow night. I have tickets here. Are you interested in watching it together?" James accepted Wu Qian's invitation and sent an invitation at the same time.

"Football game?" Wu Qian wondered, James May is an old man who is almost 60, but he still has a heart yearning for football?And you know it's exciting even before the game even starts?
