Several people from the British Royal Ordnance Museum wanted to enter Gu Yunxuan's treasure house again, but they were all rejected directly. But when Steven wanted to enter, the door of convenience was opened for him at any time. This allowed several real antique weapons The appraisal experts were very depressed, so they urgently contacted the person in charge in China.

For two consecutive days, Li Mo stared at the movement of Steven. Sure enough, after he returned to the hotel, he reported what he saw to some people in China, which meant that there were more than just two national treasures in a private museum in China. There are 11 oil paintings in total that are national treasures, and the best one is Dante’s early work. Although the remaining six oil paintings are not national treasures, they are also very well-known in the market and are widely loved by collectors. Each piece is worth one to two hundred million yuan.

Not only that, there are more than a dozen sculptures. Anyway, Steven was always very excited on the phone, wishing that the top wealthy people in the country would come to China immediately to discuss the purchase.

At this time, Li Mo and a group of people were standing in front of those oil paintings. No matter how he looked, he couldn't tell there was anything very rare about that Dante work. The price in Europe was actually around 1.8 billion yuan.

Professor Qu stood nearby and looked at it very seriously. He studied Western art, so his understanding of these works was at a completely different spiritual level.

"Professor Qu, who is this person?"

Professor Qu turned around and took a look and said: "Matisse, he is a famous French Fauvist painter. Although this Fauvist movement only existed for two or three years, it occupied a very important position in the art movement of the early 20th century. Because of its important status, it has been called the first artistic revolution in the twentieth century. This oil painting can be sold for at least 150 million yuan."

"If you can't understand their spiritual world, you can't feel the power of thought conveyed in the works."

Professor Qu suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, the most important thing is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. There are many Western art schools, such as Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Dada, Expressionism, and Surrealism. , abstraction, pop art, etc., except for Fauvism, the other schools have their own manifestos and programs. Only by deeply understanding their thoughts can you discover the unique beauty in their works."

"Forget it, I really can't appreciate it. Fortunately, we already know it in our minds, which can serve as a reference for the subsequent negotiations." Li Mo's eyes fell on an oil painting of sunset and he curled his lips and said, "What is this painting about?" , is actually worth more than 600 million yuan. Do Europeans have too much money?"

Professor Qu glanced at it and said faintly: "That is a work by Impressionist Monet. The price of 600 million yuan is set for those museums. If it is one of the top collectors, there may be a 10% premium." "

"Xiao Mo, in the past two days, twelve large museums have sent representatives and experts, and several museums in Europe are interested in negotiating. You are the party involved, and I am afraid I need you to come forward to make a decision."

"Can't you just go?"

Li Mo looked down, he was not going to sell, but to exchange.

"Let's talk about it in the early stage, and you decide in the end."

"That's good. If we can agree on the early negotiations, I can take a look at the list of national treasures that will be replaced later and give me some advice."

"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words."

When I returned to my grandpa's house in the evening, my mother Shiyi had already returned to the capital. She couldn't always stay here in Kyoto. But she could come back a few days a month to stay with the two elderly people. Shi Yunli and her aunt were both there, and the food was already on the table.

, just wait for Li Mo.

"I told you earlier, don't wait for me, just leave some for me."

Li Mo washed his face and walked into the restaurant. He sat next to Shi Yunli, looked at her and put a fistful of rice in her bowl and asked, "No wonder you are so thin and eat so little."

"Brother, why do girls want to be so fat? Besides, it would be weird to lose weight even if you are really fat. I don't want to go through that painful dieting process."

Shi Yunli gave him a rice bowl with a lot of meat.

"Brother, what have you been busy with these days?"

"I'm busy making money. I'm already twenty this year. I have to make enough money for my wife in advance. I'm not like you. You will still have a husband to support you later, but I don't have anyone to support me."

Li Mo ate the meat and said matter-of-factly.

"Hahaha, just be so talkative." Shi Yunli was amused and laughed. Speaking of wealth, Li Mo's net worth would be more than he could spend in a few lifetimes.

"Xiao Mo, don't tease her. This child almost spit out her rice with laughter." Auntie glared at Shi Yunli and told her to pay attention. After all, her grandparents were at the dinner table.

"Auntie, you will focus on cultivating some trustworthy personnel in the near future. I estimate that the second Gu Yunxuan Museum will be built soon, which will be larger than the current one. At that time, the manpower can be transferred from the Xiang Yu Treasure Museum."

"Negotiations have begun?"

"It hasn't officially started yet, but we have conveyed our ideas. The problem shouldn't be big. It's just the number of national treasures that can be exchanged."

The aunt nodded and said: "I will reserve more talents, and I can also recruit talents from other museums. Do you have a target for the new museum director?"

"I'm so worried, I'll leave it empty for now."

Li Mo was troubled when he thought about this. People like his aunt were well-established, so they probably wouldn't be willing to resign and become the director of a private museum.

As for finding someone from the private sector, it would be better to take on the role yourself, and then arrange for a trustworthy person to take charge of the daily work.

"I used to just sit in the office, and I always hoped to jump out and do management work. But when I came out, I found that there were so many problems, so I still have to be very cautious when choosing the director."

"Okay, let's eat first and talk about work later."

Shilao doesn't have many rules when it comes to eating, but since it's a meal, don't talk about work all the time. This will make the house feel like an office.

After dinner, Shi Yunli took Li Mo out to visit Hutong Cultural Street, euphemistically calling it exercise to lose weight.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"You are still smart, unlike my brother, whose head is like a missing bone."

Li Mo walked to the alley, smiled and said: "Brother Bin is a professional soldier. He is more serious in everything he does and talks, and he doesn't make so many twists and turns. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

"I have a childhood friend who is also my best friend. Just last month, she dug out a piece of calligraphy from the basement. She thought the calligraphy was quite special. There were some seals on it, but it was a little old, so she wanted to invite me.

Can you help me check if it’s an antique?”

"That's it. Why do you have to tell me alone? It's not a big deal." Li Mo said strangely.

Shi Yunli immediately rolled her eyes: "I mentioned it to my mother once before, but my mother said that according to industry regulations, you need to pay an appraisal fee for helping people appraise. According to your ability, the appearance fee is not low."

"Haha, aunt is teasing you. We are all members of our family, and we can really talk about money with you."

"Let me just say, brother is the best. When will you be free?" Shi Yunli held Li Mo's arm and said bouncingly, "I'll talk to my best friend first."

"Tomorrow morning, we'll go there after breakfast."

"Then I will tell her now, but let me tell you, my best friend is a super beauty, and she is also a piano genius. Don't be tempted when you see her."
