These ancient paintings are too old, and they are all silk paintings. Because of the age, the silk has become very fragile.
If you go to the sea and toss around, these paintings will probably break.
Even if it is not broken, the color may fade due to corrosion by the salt in the sea air.
So he decided to take a risk...
Then there were those two woodblock prints by Rembrandt that he found in Seattle.
Of these two paintings, one is "Portrait of a Bearded Man" and the other is "Polish Knight".
At first, they were treated as fakes by the boss, but after Chen Rui got it, he discovered these two paintings.
This is definitely a real painting, but it has not yet been recognized by the Rembrandt Research Association in the Netherlands.
Later, if you have the opportunity, ask someone from the association to stamp these two paintings, and the value of these two paintings will immediately double.
Given Brown's current popularity, these two paintings are worth 20 to 30 million, which is fair...
These two paintings are wooden paintings. Although they are relatively strong, Chen Rui has no intention of shipping them by sea.
After all, these two paintings came from the legitimate sources, and they are not certified authentic Rembrandts.
So it is very easy to go through customs...
He planned to take it with him.
Next are the treasures they brought from Lehman's warehouse.
These treasures are mainly oil paintings, with some ancient oriental paintings mixed in.
There are also some porcelain, but not much.
It was also for the convenience of transportation, so they didn't take away too much porcelain.
Because I was busy moving goods, I didn't have time to examine these paintings carefully.
This time I finally got a chance.
Chen Rui and Nielsen carefully took out these paintings from the box.
The most dazzling one among them is, of course, Monet's "Water Lilies".
There are also three paintings by Van Gogh: "Postman Joseph Roulin" and "Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle".
These three paintings can definitely be said to be the treasures of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston!
They had only come to see three pictures before, but when they looked through it today, they discovered it.
This box contains far more than these three paintings, there are also other masterpieces by everyone.
For example, there is a piece of "Fruits and Jars on the Table" by top French painter Paul Cézanne.
There are also "Nine Dragon Picture Scrolls" by the Southern Song Dynasty painter Chen Rong and so on.
There are more than thirty paintings in total, all of which are works by famous artists.
These paintings can be said to be the essence of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
But it was also the time when Jasper and his gang looted the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston that someone had to steal and replace it.
Jasper and the others stole the fake goods and used them as scapegoats.
These paintings, according to the public description of the police, were destroyed during the pursuit of Jasper.
But in fact, it was the director of the museum, Karl Meyer, who had him substituted.
And what this guy is subcontracting is much more than that.
According to public records from the museum, they lost nearly a thousand collections in the robbery.
Among them, there are more than 500 famous paintings, and the other 500 items are various porcelains, sculptures, etc.
Of course, Chen Rui and Karen, who participated in the whole process, naturally knew that what the museum said was not true.
Because Mr. Jasper couldn't steal so many things even if they stole for a day?
What's more, they only had one hour to commit the crime...
However, they have no choice but to take the blame.
With Jasper's death, the truth of this case cannot be revealed.
Especially since Carl Meyer was also killed by Jack, there is no evidence of his death.
But Chen Rui didn't expect that they would find part of the lost paintings from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in Lehman's warehouse.
But these paintings now belong to them.
"Wow, these paintings alone are worth more than a billion dollars now!"
Karen looked at these paintings and said with a smile.
Chen Rui also nodded silently: "Almost!"
"Hey! Don't tell me, I really don't feel safe if these things are placed in the United States."
"You really have to go to the Dragon Kingdom!"
Nelson also nodded and said.
He really couldn't understand the current security situation in the United States.
Although it wasn't very good in the past, at least the wealthy areas were still safe.
However, as the U.S. economy continues to deteriorate in recent years, inflation has skyrocketed.
The security situation has also worsened, and wealthy areas are no longer safe.
Some robbers even specifically target wealthy areas.
And even if they buy their own house and build a safe, it will still be unsafe.
Because what they have to face is not just thieves who like to buy for zero dollars.
There are people like Lehman who are even more terrifying than these people.
Especially this Lehman, his strength is even more unfathomable.
Not only is he a guest of many big businessmen, he also has very deep connections with many politicians.
If he were to find their hiding place, this guy would be able to call in the police and Ferb Le in minutes.
Therefore, these things cannot be placed in the United States under any circumstances.
On the contrary, it would be safer to transport it to the Dragon Kingdom.
"In the past few days, I have looked for opportunities to disperse a batch of the gold, and the rest will be transported back to the Dragon Kingdom."
Nelson looked at Chen Rui and said, Chen Rui also nodded.
"Okay, you see it's done, but all the gold doesn't have to be scattered."
"After all, this thing is hard currency, which is more trustworthy than banknotes."
"Now that the currencies of various countries are not stable, if we leave some of them, we can better resist inflation."
Nelson nodded in agreement.
In the next few days, Nelson sold part of the gold through various channels.
However, there is still a lot left. They plan to keep some of it in the United States and ship the rest worth 200 million soft sister coins back to the country.
As for the way to return home, Nelson takes a boat.
Supervise a batch of goods that cannot be brought back to the country by boat, while Chen Rui takes the few paintings that can be carried.
Flying back to China with Karen.
This is also done to prevent the three of them from getting together in the event of an accident.
And Nelson had no objection to returning to China by boat.
The freighter Qiao Li contacted was carrying soybeans this time.
Starting from Los Angeles to Ben City Port, the whole journey is almost 5,500 nautical miles, and it only takes about fifteen days in total.
For Nelson, this is the equivalent of a vacation.
"Ha, I prefer taking a boat to flying."
When Nelson said this, Chen Rui was also stunned. You must know that when he decided to let Nelson take the boat, he felt a little guilty.
After all, he is over fifty and still his father-in-law, but...
"The last time I performed a mission in the Middle East, I was shot down on a plane."
