    "If this is an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, it would be worth at least 50 million"

    At the right time, Mr. Fang smiled and said: "It's not US dollars and euros, nor Hong Kong and Taiwan dollars, but pounds."

    "Fifty million pounds." Wang Guan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Who can afford it?"

    There may be some people here who can afford 50 million pounds, but being able to afford it does not mean they must buy it.  After all, everyone's money does not fall from the sky. Unless you are a famous figure on the Forbes list, otherwise spending 50 million pounds at a time will have to be weighed by everyone.

    "An authentic work is only worth 50 million pounds. Now it is difficult to tell the authenticity from the fake. It is definitely not worth so much money."

    At this time, Mr. Fang said softly: "Besides, there is a problem with the origin of this painting. Even if it is bought, it cannot be made public and has to be kept secretly. Because this is a stolen work, something stolen from an old castle in England.  Until now, the UK has not given up on tracing the whereabouts of this painting. If anyone buys it, it might be on the British Intelligence Agency's blacklist"

    "Stolen things?" Wang Guan was a little surprised, but it felt like it was expected.

    "Well, it's better to say it was stolen than something robbed."

    Fang Laowei said: "It is said that two thieves pretended to be tourists. After entering the castle, they immediately kidnapped a female tour guide and then forced her to take them to the scroll of the Madonna hanging in the staircase corridor with a sharp knife.  , quickly took down the painting and ran away."

    "Why does it sound so fake?" Wang Guan scratched his head and said, "Where is the security guard? Doesn't it have a monitoring system?"

    "Who knows?" Mr. Fang shook his head and said, "Anyway, I succeeded in this way, and then the painting disappeared. The British even offered a high price to find the painting."

    "How much is the reward?"

    Wang Guan inquired with great interest, wondering if if the amount was large enough, he should also inform the public.

    "One hundred thousand pounds!"

    While speaking, Mr. Fang chuckled and said, "You heard it right. It's one hundred thousand pounds."

    Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and immediately confirmed: "There is something fishy, ??there is definitely something fishy, ??and nine times out of ten, it is a thief."

    "Perhaps." Mr. Fang said with a smile: "Whether it is a self-stealing or not. Anyway, this painting is so well-known that the price must be cheaper. You can take a photo of it if you are interested, but it will not be exposed to the light."

    "Forget it." Wang Guan shook his head directly: "It's not an authentic work. I don't think it's worth buying it."

    If it is an authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci.  Wang Guan doesn't mind being on the British Intelligence Agency's blacklist. The problem is that it's just a copy, so there's no need for it.

    However, due to aesthetic taste.  and differences in interests and hobbies.  Wang Guan felt that this painting was not very good, but others did not think so. On the contrary, the competition was very fierce.

    Only a few minutes.  The quotation keeps rising.  It wasn't until the amount exceeded one million that things slowed down.  It should be noted that on-site bidding is in US dollars.  One million US dollars is not a small amount of money.

    Of course, as I said before, it¡¯s hard to tell whether the painting is authentic or not, and it¡¯s stolen goods.  Note that it can only become a secret collection.  So the price of one hundred dollars is considered a very high price.  So after weighing the pros and cons, some people gave up the competition, leaving only a few people quoting.

    At this time, Wang Guan was also a little curious. He glanced at several bidders, and then he was surprised to find that there was a young man among the bidders.  It seems that he is determined to win this painting, and he is constantly competing with several blond and blue-eyed foreigners.

    "Oh, it's him, no wonder."

    At this time, Mr. Fang also looked at the situation and said suddenly: "That young man is a well-known painter, and he studies oil painting. No wonder he is so interested in this painting."

    "Young painter"

    For a moment, Wang Guan's inspiration flashed: "Is he Mo You?"

    "Um!"

    At the right time, Mr. Fang nodded slightly: "You know him too?"

    "I don't know him." Wang Guan shook his head and smiled: "It's just that for a young oil painter, I have only heard of this name, and then I made a random guess, but I didn't expect that it was really him."

    "That's a coincidence." Mr. Fang said with a smile: "This young man is not bad. He held a personal exhibition in Taipei a few days ago. I also went to see it and thought the paintings were good. As long as you are willing to study hard,  He must have a bright future. But I¡¯ve heard people say that he is somewhat utilitarian and takes money very seriously"

    "I don't think so. After all, times have changed. As long as you have real ability, there is nothing wrong with pursuing fame and fortune. It is impossible for everyone to be indifferent to fame and fortune., this is unscientific.  Mr. Fang said honestly: "Of course there must be a certain limit. It is not good to be too utilitarian. It is easy to fall into it and cause a tragedy that hurts Zhongyong."  "

    "You are always right." Wang Guan nodded repeatedly, and after looking at Mo You again, he stopped paying attention.

    At the same time, the competition for the Notre Dame Pixel was settled, and it was finally won by a foreigner with a big nose for two million U.S. dollars.  While the man was receiving congratulations from the friend next to him, a new item appeared.

    When everyone looked around, they saw that the object was a gold product, a gold plate inlaid with fine gemstones.  It is said that this is a medieval religious instrument and is of great collection value.

    Of course, the most important thing is that even though this gold plate is stolen goods, it has no reputation.  Even if you buy it, as long as you don't let the whole world know about it and just show it off to your relatives and friends, there probably won't be any side effects.  In other words, this kind of thing is most suitable for everyone to take action.

    The fact is that not only the gold plate now, but also the silver cup, crown and so on later, have attracted the attention of the rich and powerful, and then they have taken action.  During this period, Mr. Cai also took a photo of a silver cross set with rubies. It may be a relic of a certain pope, but I don¡¯t know whether it is true or false.

    Of course, there are not only Western art treasures, but also precious cultural relics from Egypt and Arab countries.  This exotic thing has also aroused the interest of the rich.  Everyone has different priorities for collection, but you can find something you like here, and naturally you won't hesitate to spend money to acquire it.

    Anyway, it is certain that no matter how fierce the competition is, the final quotation will definitely be lower than the actual price.  Regarding this point, the rich people also have a tacit understanding and will never do anything that harms others and does not benefit themselves.

    After all, they are all tycoons in the business world. Even if they don¡¯t know each other, they should have heard each other¡¯s names.  Don't look up and see you when you look down, unless you have a deep grudge against someone, otherwise, if you can sell a favor, you can sell it as a favor. You may never know when this favor will come in handy.

    That¡¯s it, a bit of harmony is hidden in the seemingly fierce competition.  At least there is no hand-to-hand combat with a bayonet. Basically, when someone is obsessed with one thing, the others hesitate for a while and then take the initiative to give in.

    It is for this reason that the auction progressed very quickly, and various older and precious cultural relics also appeared one after another.  For example, stone Buddha statues from the Wei and Jin Dynasties in China, gold masks from ancient Egypt, and gold coins and shields from ancient Rome.  It¡¯s hard to say about other things, but China¡¯s stone Buddha statues have made many people either surprised or frowning in anger.

    The reason for the surprise is that such things have always been the dream collection objects of major collectors or archaeological researchers.  And due to strict controls, it is something with a price but no market.

    As for the indignation, there are reasons. The appearance of the things here shows that insider thieves and outside thieves colluded with each other to steal and sell precious cultural relics. It is really a heinous crime.

    Of course, after things appear, there will always be only a minority of angry people.  Most people were overjoyed and gearing up to make quotations.  At the same time, Mr. Fang also frowned slightly and said softly: "You can ignore the other things, but that Guanyin statue must be photographed no matter what."

    "Um."

    Wang Guan understands what Mr. Fang means. Relatively speaking, the Guanyin statue is relatively complete. Unlike other Buddha statues, which are either missing arms or legs, are missing their heads, or simply have only their heads left.

    Of course, the most important thing is that judging from the texture and decoration of the Guanyin statue, the knife technique is very smooth, fully showing the softness of the clothes and the dynamic feeling like flowing water.  A discerning person will know at a glance that the artistic value of the Guanyin statue is higher.  And during the actual auction, everyone competed the most fiercely.

    However, Mr. Fang was very unswerving and kept making offers.  Perhaps feeling the determination of his old man, the Chinese wealthy people also stopped their efforts, leaving only a few foreigners to compete with Mr. Fang.  Between you and me, there seems to be invisible lights and shadows of swords, which makes people feel a bit thrilling.

    However, Jiang is still the best, and in the end it was Mr. Fang who had the last laugh.  But after successfully photographing the Guanyin statue, the old man didn't feel very happy.  First, he bought this Guanyin statue not for himself.  Second, because there are more people competing, the final transaction price will definitely be higher.

    In this case, Mr. Fang will definitely not be happy.

    Of course, the organizer did not care what Mr. Fang thought. After the final decision was made, the auctioneer took out something else, but it was a very ancient book.  The Bible, the Jewish Bible, around the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.

    The so-called Jewish Bible, in today¡¯s terms, should be the Old Testament of the Bible.  After all, as we all know, the Bible in the eyes of the Western Church is divided into two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament, but Judaism?But they only recognize the Old Testament and not the New Testament.  Speaking of which, disputes between religions have always been very complicated and difficult to sort out clearly.  Anyway, just know that things are very precious.

    ??When everyone looked at it, they saw that the books were written on parchment, but there were very ancient characters on them.  Moreover, it is said to be a book, which is the current definition, but it is actually layers of parchment stacked in a small box.

    Seeing this thing, those big-nosed foreign buyers started to get excited, obviously this was their thing.  In contrast, the Chinese wealthy are very calm, but due to cultural differences, they don't have much interest.

    However, during the official auction, Wang Guan gently pressed the bidder.

    "You want to buy?"

    Seeing this situation, Mr. Fang was naturally very surprised.

    "Raise the price."

    At the right time, Wang Guan smiled and said: "It's revenge!"
