"I understand very well, and I promise not to leak the cultural relics listed on the list." Chen Rui nodded and said.

Chen Rui was very important.

It is very clear that the Chinese cultural relics listed on the list are very sensitive to China and to the British royal family.

You should know that the cultural relics listed on this list are exchanged for "Mona Lisa" (Part 3). They are not ordinary Chinese cultural relics. Each one is a treasure, a valuable cultural relic level, or even a national treasure of China. Rare treasure level.

Moreover, the main sources of artifacts listed on the list are three parts. First, in 1860, the British and French forces robbed Yuanmingyuan and Yanjing.

The Yuanmingyuan was robbed of more than 1.5 million cultural relics, a large number of rare treasures, and was robbed overseas. At that time, the French writer Hugo said: "Even if you add all the treasures of all Notre Dame in our country, it cannot be magnified with this scale And the magnificent Oriental Museum is comparable.

At the time, Yanjing was more plundered. Neither the palace forbidden gardens, residential houses, or merchant shops were spared. After the Forbidden City was looted, the palace's collection was lost more than half, and valuables were looted. After Zhonghai and Beihai were robbed, few collections remained.

The British army dedicated part of the cultural relics taken by Yan Jing in the Yuanmingyuan in 1860 to the then Queen Victoria.

Most of the artifacts listed on the list come from here.

The second part, from 1900 to 1949, foreign scholars, including explorers, museum curators, university professors, etc., came to China to explore and buy cultural relics directly from China at low prices. For example, the most famous British explorer Stein bought Dunhuang instruments and ancient Buddha paintings from the monks. Others have excavated ancient sites directly in China.

In the third part, foreign collectors went directly to China to buy cultural relics at low prices.

the second part. The third part of the cultural relics lost to Britain was part of the treasure house of the British royal family.

Whether it was plundering the Yuanmingyuan and Yanjing in 1860, or foreign scholars exploring archeology, and foreign collectors went directly to China to buy cultural relics at low prices.

These cultural logistics were lost to the United Kingdom, and the last part went to the treasure house of the British royal family, which can be very certain. It is illegal to plunder directly through war, or indirectly, in disguise.

Therefore, the artifacts listed on the list are very sensitive.

An example, the Yuanmingyuan Zodiac Beasthead, appeared at the auction house. Protested by Chinese government, government and the Chinese, it caused a strong response in China.

Even Christie's auctioned rabbit heads and rat heads at a heavy price, and the National Bureau of Cultural Heritage issued documents. National cultural relics departments are required to scrutinize the cultural relics declared by Christie's and entrusted agencies for exit.

The Chinese cultural relics listed on the list are much more valuable than the bronze statues of the zodiac animal heads in terms of artistic value, cultural value and appreciation value.

Count Hill nodded, took out a stack of A4 paper relics list from his black briefcase and handed it to Chen Rui.

This list was sent by fax.

In order to enumerate this list, the British royal family sent people to check the Chinese relics in the treasure house overnight.

Chen Rui took the list of cultural relics, very thick, about 100 pages.

Chen Rui opened the first page of the list of cultural relics.

a4 paper coloring page.

At the top of the first page are several very clear color pictures. The picture shows the front, side, and bottom of a plate.

Very weird. The glazed surface of this porcelain plate is covered with yellow and black cracks. The cracks are large and small, long and short, thick and thin, curved and straight, and different shapes. Some are like roe, some are like willow leaves. Some look like crab claws. It was found that the air bubbles in the glaze were as fine as small water droplets, and were covered on the inner and outer walls of the utensil or the inner and outer bodies.

Moreover, through the front and bottom pictures, it was found that the purple femur was exposed at the mouth, and the exposed part of the foot was iron brown.

"Gold wire and iron wire", "Zhuzhu gather ball", "Purple mouth iron foot".

Even an outsider, Chen Rui knows what it is, a famous brother kiln in the porcelain industry.

Historically, porcelain has been exquisitely beautiful, crystalline and moisturized, and its color is beautiful. It is a high-quality product, while Duge Kiln Porcelain is characterized by the disorder of the surface and irregular cracks of gold and iron wires. , Called flawed beauty, is the highest level of aesthetics.

* To the extreme, you will pursue a pathological defect beauty. With its defect beauty, Geyao porcelain has been sought after by numerous dignitaries and royals in the dynasties.

Chen Rui's eyes looked below the picture.

Song Ge Kiln Celadon Begonia Flower Pot.

Chen Rui defined this Geyao porcelain as a treasure.

Not only is it satisfying the extremely high artistic and appreciation value of people's pursuit of 'defective beauty' or 'morbid beauty', but it is scarce, with only about one hundred pieces in the world.

Obviously, Chen Rui did not place the exchange target on this 'Ge Yao porcelain'.

Although Geyao porcelain is rare, there are only more than 100 pieces, but it can also be purchased.

In fact, Chen Rui's cultural relics acquisition team photographed a piece of Geyao porcelain at the Christie's auction in New York. The plum kiln was washed and spent more than 40 million yuan.

Chen Rui opened the second page.

This is a Yuan and blue and white big pot, Yuan and blue and white peony cloud dragon pattern pot.

With this shape, size, appearance, and exquisite decoration, there is no problem in breaking 100 million yuan.

...

Chen Rui continued to turn down.

When turning to page 57.

"This is ..." Chen Rui stunned his head, his eyes stared, his expression was dull, and he looked at the picture on the coloring page, and the line under the coloring page, with an incredible expression on his face. .

how can that be possible!

How could this be here! !!

"Must get it ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Chen Rui can't help but want to own it, almost every cell in the body is shaking.

...

More than a dozen art evaluation experts from both Chen Rui and Count Hill evaluated the value of "Mona Lisa" (Part 3) at € 724 million.

Neither side disagreed.

Chen Rui exchanged 23 famous paintings including "Mona Lisa" (Part 3), one Van Gogh oil painting, two Paul Cezanne oil paintings, three Picasso drawings, and 312 million euros in cash. That thing, as well as all the Buddhist scriptures, social documents, archives, paintings of Buddha statues, murals, and Buddha statues hidden in the British royal treasure house.

The exchange has been very rewarding.

To both the British royal family represented by Chen Rui and Count Hill, it can be said that they are very happy.

That thing, as well as the Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures, are not for sale. Not only that thing, the Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures are very high-level treasures, but it is also clear that the British royal family will never be auctioned out or sold. (To be continued)
