Although both Chu Chen and Wu Ke didn't like oil painting very much, their art was borderless. They still appreciated the masterpieces of this painting.
Next, while discussing and enjoying, they stopped at dinner time.
Carefully put the paintings away and put them in the portable safe. Wu Ke said that she just settled the dinner in the restaurant of the hotel and went out with billions of RMB. She was really worried.
For this proposal, Chu Chen also agreed to come down.
After ordering in the restaurant and waiting for the waiter to leave, Wu Ke suddenly laughs.
Seeing this, Chu Chen asked curiously, "what's the matter?"
Wu laughably said: "I think Nan Nan is very funny, just for a little money, not willing to change the picture frame, but picked up sesame, lost watermelon, lost so much money, if he knew this thing, surely his intestines would be blue?"
Chuchen nodded with a smile, but he felt that Nan Nan Cai had done nothing wrong. After all, the other party was a businessman. Under the premise of maximizing the interests, the other party would certainly do so. However, Nan Nan Cai's luck was worse than him.
"Coco, I don't know if he'll regret it, but if he knows about it, he'll try his best to find us."
"Er..." Wu Ke thinks about it and thinks that what Chu Chen said is reasonable. It's not hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of RMB. Even a billionaire has to be envious. What's more, it's nannancai who has been found missing?
Thinking of this, she also has some understanding of why in the antique market, you can't show off when you pick up a leak, or transfer things to others without taking a few steps. This is really a very offensive thing.
The serving speed of the hotel was also very fast. After a while, the dishes of the two people were all ready, so they had a discussion about tomorrow while eating.
"Ah Chen, are you going to tell Vincent about this painting tomorrow?" Wu Ke asked.
"Why not? In my heart, although this work is good, if I have to choose it, I will definitely choose the cultural relics of our country! "
In fact, whether he likes it or not, since Chu Chen now has the opportunity to take home the cultural relics left behind by his country, and is within the scope of his ability, why does he not do so?
Wu Ke nodded, then she thought of what Chu Chen had just said, frowned and said, "I don't know if Vincent will agree to your request tomorrow."
Chuchen said with a smile: "anyway, I can't hang myself in a tree. And now I have two works. If he doesn't agree, I'll replace them. Like Leonardo da Vinci's works, I want to come to the museum more?"
"It's the same here!" Wu Ke said, "ah Chen, if Vincent agrees, which one do you want to change?"
Chuchen said with a smile, "to tell you the truth, I still want to change this painting."
Wu Ke asks curiously: "why?"
Chu Chen stood up and said, "although Leonardo da Vinci is more famous, this painting is not finished. In my mind, it can't compare with the Athenian School. What, do you like this Da Vinci painting? "
Wu Ke nodded and said, "yes, I think this painting is incomplete, but it looks like a kind of incomplete beauty, so I think Da Vinci's painting is better."
Chu Chen thought about it, and then said: "the key to this is still to see Vincent's meaning. If he insists on choosing a certain one, he can only do whatever he wants. Then I'll try my best to stick to it."
After all, Chu Chen still doesn't want to give up some of Vincent's boutiques. Unless the other party exceeds his bottom line, he thinks some conditions are not negotiable.
Wu Ke was also very happy about Chu Chen's attitude, but she didn't want chu Chen to be too embarrassed. She said, "ah Chen, that's what I said. I'll do what you say."
Chuchen nodded his head with a smile and said, "well, eat quickly. The food is cold. Let's talk about it later..."
The next day, at the appointed time, Vincent's special envoy drove a limousine to Vincent's Manor on the outskirts of Paris with chuchen and Wuke.
Because France is a plain, after leaving the downtown area of Paris, there are endless green vegetable fields, and they are very neat. The trees along the road are not very high, or they have white flowers, or they are bare, and they all have no leaves.
these trees are very famous French Wutong. As for why they bloom first and then grow long, what they have grown up in the autumn is wrapped in bud. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, when the leaves fall, pick a bud and dissect it to have a look. You can see their rudiments.
In spring, as the temperature gradually rises, the cells of each part of the flower divide and grow up quickly. Therefore, all parts of the flower and the leaves stretch out, exposing the outside of the bud, forming the phenomenon of flowering and growing leaves.
Vincent's manor is an old European style building at the end of the 19th century. Although it looks old from a distance, it still has a unique scenery.Entering the manor, the car stopped in front of a stable, and the stable has not been stopped. When Chu Chen and Wu Ke got off, they saw someone pulling a horse from the stable.
The driver told them with a smile that the horse was used for horse racing, which made Chu Chen and Wu Ke very curious. They always thought that only Britain had horse racing, so they also had it here.
With Chu Chen and Wu Ke, the driver walked along a white stone road to the gate. On both sides of the road, there were green meadows with oil leakage. In the distance, there was a pond with ducks. In addition, on the left side of the manor is the remains of a collapsed church, which can vaguely imagine its glorious history.
When Vincent saw Chu Chen and Wu Ke, he quickly came forward with a smile on his face and gave a warm welcome. Chu Chen didn't care about it, but Wu Ke rejected it. However, Vincent also knew that the Oriental people were more reserved, so he just used ordinary etiquette to Wu Ke.
After a round of unfruitful greetings, Vincent invited them into the room and introduced their family history with pride. Of course, he is not a fool. He did not even mention the war at the beginning of the 20th century, which caused Chu Chen's misunderstanding.
In fact, after seeing Vincent, Chu Chen wanted to see Vincent's collection quickly. So, after Vincent finished talking about his family's history, he politely said, "Mr. Vincent, if you can, I'd like to see your collection first."
"OK, no problem. I'll take you there now..."
Vincent asked Chu Chen to come for nothing more than the "Athenian School". Therefore, after hearing Chu Chen's request, he immediately agreed. As for what he said on the phone yesterday, he thought that Chu Chen might agree after seeing his genuine collection.
Then Vincent took chuchen and Wuke along the corridor to the end. Then, Vincent opened a door with his key. Behind the door was the stairs leading to the ground.
When he pressed the light switch, Vincent led them down the stairs. At the end of the stairs, there was another door, but the door looked much stronger than the one above. After Vincent opened the door through a series of operations, Chu Chen found that the thickness of the door was probably not much thinner than that of the bank.
Vincent was the first to enter the room. When he turned on the light, the room that he couldn't see immediately became bright. Then, Vincent invited them into the room.
"Ah! With so many collections, it's like a museum... "
Just now, when Vincent turned on the light in the room, Chu Chen vaguely saw countless collections inside. When he and Wu Ke went in, Wu Ke was shocked to see a room with hundreds of square meters full of collections.
Chu Chen was also shocked by the quantity of Vincent's collection. There are not only porcelain, other jades, bronzes, Buddha statues and so on, but also the quantity is so huge that Chu Chen can't imagine how the Vincent family collected these things.
Seeing Chu Chen's shocked appearance, Vincent was also extremely proud. He said with a smile: "Chu, this is my family's collection for hundreds of years. I believe that you and your descendants will be able to collect these collections one day."
"Then I'll borrow your good advice!" After chuchen said thanks with a smile, he asked, "Mr. Vincent, I don't know where the collections you sent me before are?"
"Please follow me..." Thinking of the collection that Chu Chen was about to replace, Vincent was distressed, but he could only take Chu Chen to a simple wooden frame on which the porcelains Chu Chen had been longing for.
When Chu Chen saw these national treasures in front of him, his eyes were hot. He didn't need Vincent to say hello, so he picked up a piece of porcelain and looked at it.
This is a blue and white plum vase in Yuan Dynasty. Xiao He Yuexia chases Han Xin. It has a short mouth, round shoulders and abdomen, long and thin lower abdomen and flat bottom. The whole body is painted with blue and white decoration, and the shoulder is painted with mixed treasure and peony pattern. Peony can be said to be the leader of flowers, symbolizing "elegance and extraordinary atmosphere".
The shape of the whole object is dignified and steady, the body is white and dense, and the blue and white hair is green and colorful. The vivid expression of the characters in the bottle is especially wonderful: Xiao He's anxiety when he gallops, Han Xin's hesitation when he is waiting by the river, and the old boatman's expectation of standing with the oar.
The blank space is lined with pines, plum bamboos and rocks, which appears to be well arranged. The patterns are pleasant and beautiful, the blue and white materials are suitable, the hair color is bright and beautiful, and the whole body is full of layers. It is painted with the Baolian pattern, which is a symbol of "noble status and imperial spirit". It can be called a masterpiece of blue and white porcelain in the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.
