After seeing off Arnault and the others, the next day, Li Yi met John Carru who rushed over by a special plane.

"Lee, this is Mr. Wade, who has a high appreciation of some antiques from the Middle Ages in Europe. Now, can you take out your crown for us to see?"

"Of course!" Li Yi signaled the two of them to wait, and got up and carried out the small wooden box containing the crown from the room.

The wooden box was opened, and a soft and silky purple velvet cloth was quietly placed on a ball of ancient style open crown.

The crown is made of gold, and at the bottom is a ring headband about three centimeters wide. On the front of the headband are two small angels with a trapezoidal ruby ​​weighing about 10 carats. The surroundings are carved with complex patterns. Then, every two centimeters, they are decorated with a pair of 8mm-sized natural pearls, but now they are aging.

Above the headband, there are golden pieces of four large and four small eagles cast into the shape of a sacred mountain. The thickness is only about one millimeter, but the height is more than twice that of the headband.

There are many angels and gods carved on these large and small sacred mountains. The empty spaces between these gods are inlaid with numerous gems, which decorate this ancient and powerful crown with a jewel spirit.

"Yes, this is the crown of Christian IV."

Carefully checking the crown with various tools, Wade finally came to the conclusion that this crown is a real guy!

"Okay John, you can always tell me the story of being born on this crown? Could it be that this crown was really taken away by Blackbeard?"

John Karu nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, in 1648, after Christian IV abdicated, this crown was treasured in the palace in Copenhagen at that time. In 17o9, the then Norwegian King of Denmark and the great-grandson of Christian IV, Frederick IV, after he learned that Sweden was defeated in the Battle of Poltava, he wanted to form an alliance with the Russian Empire and the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth to start a war with Sweden."

"At that time, the Three Kingdoms held a grand alliance ceremony. Frederick IV was preparing to attend with this precious crown, but on the way to the alliance location, the crown magically disappeared! Later, when tracing the whereabouts of the crown, some people said that they had seen this crown in the hands of Blackbeard."

"This matter is still a mystery, because although Frederick IV had already rushed to the alliance site in advance, the escort of the crown was also very large. Moreover, the fleet that escortted the crown did not pass through the Caribbean Sea, so no one knew how it finally landed in the hands of the Blackbeard across the Caribbean Sea."

"Oh, okay, this is really a sad story." Li Yi shrugged. No matter what, the crown is in his hands now, then, this is his.

"Mr. John Carru, I think, we can start talking about how to trade now. You should know what I need, so, have you prepared something?"

John Carru spread his hands and said helplessly: "Lee, you have seen my collection last time. If you have anything you like, just take it away."

"No, although the things you have left are also precious, they are not what I need, so if you want to get this crown, you should also prepare some new treasures."

"New baby? Lee, why don't we try to trade with money? I can give this crown oo ten thousand dollars!"

Li Yi shook his head and only oo tens of thousands of dollars. Last time, the "Scream" was replaced with a lot of things, and finally tens of millions of dollars!

"Mr. John Carru, you know I am not short of money, and you also know that I have opened a new museum now, and I just need collections to enrich my collection. In fact, after getting this crown, I considered whether to have a friendly exchange with the National Museum of Denmark. You know, there are also some precious cultural relics from our China in that museum."

"No! This is our Norwegian crown, I will never allow it to fall into Denmark! Lee, I need time, I can help you find the antiques you are interested in, but you must give me time!"

"Of course! Mr. John Carru, we are old friends, of course I am willing to give you a certain amount of time. But how much time do you think you need?"

"Two months, if you give me two months, I will definitely find antiques that satisfy you!"

Next, after the two of them exchanged the general direction of the antiques that Li Yi needed, John Carru hurriedly left, and Li Yi was also preparing to return to Yanjing as soon as possible. There, the museum and the newly acquired Hetian Jade Mine, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

"Here, this is the latest news I have collected about your museum. I think this is just the beginning."

6 Ningshuang threw a thick stack of newspapers in front of Li Yi. The top one was the largest national newspaper in France, Le Parisien.

Li Yi easily found a report about his museum in the lower right corner of the front page.

"The third version of Mona Lisa appears in China, the truth is doubtful."

This report quoted the views of three experts, who have recently rushed to the Zangzhen Museum and got close to the painting "Mona Lisa". Their opinions just represent the current three mainstream views.

The first one is that this "Mona Lisa" is simply a prank by Chinese people. The most powerful reason is that Li Yi's museum is not a public museum, so he lacks sufficient credibility and sense of responsibility.

In the street visits attached to this report, almost half of those who support this view account for, but the reasons are quite diverse.

Another thing is that the painting is indeed the original. The expert has also listed several pieces of evidence, which are similar to those found by Li Yi and are not particularly convincing. The number of people supporting this view accounts for about % of the total number of surveyed people.

The last point of view is impartial, no one believes it, loves the truth, loves the false. Almost ten percent of those who support this view can look like.

“Nothing new”

With the help of 6 Ningshuang, Li Yi quickly learned about the content of this report and then picked up the second newspaper.

This newspaper is the "Evening Post" published in Italy and is also one of the largest national dailys in Italy. Although Li Yi and 6 Ningshuang don't know Italian, 6 Ningshuang asked someone to do a simple translation before, so Li Yi quickly finished reading the entire content.

Unlike the French, Italians focus on the work of Titian. Moreover, there may be many differences from "Mona Lisa". Titian's works have never been said to have multiple versions.

Then, the problem arose. Before Li Yi identified that "Love in Heaven and Love in Humanity" as the original work, almost everyone believed that the one collected in the Polgosse Art Museum in Rome was the real work. This is what the Luchen family believed in this way, even the owner of the painting.

Now, after Li Yi exhibited this painting as an authentic work, the origin of the painting was quickly revealed by reporters. It is precisely because of this that the words used in this report are very rude and directly accused Li Yi of being a sensationalist. By the way, it is naturally inferred that the painting "Mona Lisa" is not an authentic work.

However, what is interesting is here. The Italian Republic, also one of the largest newspapers in Italy, has expressed an article with completely opposite views. In this article, the famous painter Federico Marchetti, who has always questioned the painting "Love in Heaven and Love in Humanity" collected by the Polgosse Art Museum in Rome, said bluntly that Li Yi's painting is the original work, and claimed that he had reached an agreement with dozens of appraisers and painters!

"Haha, let's just make a noise. The more lively the better. It's better to make a fuss about him. Xiaolu, you can try to sponsor these so-called experts, or sponsor these newspapers so that this topic can be extended as much as possible."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements afterwards."

Li Yi kissed her and picked up the fourth newspaper with a smile.

This is a national newspaper published in the UK. The Times. The focus of this newspaper's report is of course Turner and Paul Sanderby's two works. The article describes these two works in detail and proves that these two works are indeed authentic works. It also mocks the French and Italians, and they can't even distinguish the works of their own national painters.

"Strangely, no one noticed Renoir's painting "Lunch on the Boat". Could it be that painting is not worth it? Or is it that Renoir can't compare with these people?"

"Haha, this is not mentioned in these newspapers. Many newspapers later mentioned it. Another newspaper has estimated these works. How much do you guess?"

"How many?"

"The Mona Lisa is 300 million, the Love in Heaven and Love in the World" is 250 million, the Lunch on the Ship is 100 million, and the other two watercolor paintings by British painters are 900000."

"Dollar?"

"No, it's the euro. They think "Mona Lisa" should be more valuable than Gauguin's "When will you get married."

"Haha, it seems a bit narrow-minded in this way! You know, there is also an "Imperial Imperial to Master Zhizheng's Posthumous Title" in front of that painting. Why isn't he more valuable than that?"

Li Yi couldn't help laughing. According to this estimate, the value of these paintings was over 700 million euros. What a huge fortune!

"Haha, they also mentioned that painting, but their point of view is that the painting is a ugly drama directed by the Japanese director."

"I'll go! I'm really dead now."
Chapter completed!
