Liu Gang asked in a low voice. The four bowls in front of him all looked very luxurious and luxurious. Unexpectedly, they were just used to hold ice cubes.
"That's what they were used for back then!"
Li Yang smiled and nodded, then looked unnaturally at the oil painting shelf. The oil painting that concealed the work that shocked Li Yang was placed there very inconspicuously.
Among this pile of oil paintings, its performance is quite satisfactory and does not look special at all.
"I thought it was for eating just now, and I was just wondering, why do foreigners eat so much?"
Liu Gang scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed.
Bai Ming and Xiao Yan both laughed, but Charles still stood there stupidly, not knowing what they were talking about.
Seeing this, Bai Ming hurriedly stepped forward and translated a few words in a low voice. Charles also laughed and said repeatedly that this was normal. These bowls were often misunderstood as tableware.
After this little episode, Wang Jiajia also raised her head and her face was no longer so red.
The largest of these Guangcai porcelains is more than 40 centimeters high. It is a very good square vase, which belongs to the Yongzheng period. The value of this vase is more than one million.
More than forty pieces may sound like a lot, but in fact there are only seven or eight pieces that are really valuable, and the rest are mostly around 200,000 yuan.
There are two pieces of Guangcai from the Republic of China period, which are even less than 100,000 yuan.
Historical time is not the most important factor that affects the value of colored porcelain, but it does have a huge impact. The Guangcai porcelain of the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, both in terms of the porcelain body itself and its painting method, is stronger than the later ones.
Coupled with the small quantity in existence, the price is naturally high.
The workers in Charles' store have been helping to ship these Guangcai porcelains.
Charles also called an escort company and asked them to escort this batch of porcelain to Li Yang back to the hotel. The value of this batch of porcelain was not low.
These are all given free of charge.
Charles was very happy in his heart. He met Li Yang and directly made a big business of two million euros. He even felt that today was his lucky day.
A business of two million euros is rare for him.
"Mr. Charles, these oil paintings of yours are also very good!"
While they were still being shipped, Li Yang slowly walked to the side of the batch of oil paintings and asked with a smile.
There are dozens of oil paintings in the store, all of which are works by some lesser-known European painters. The real good things are not displayed here, and only specific customers can see them.
Europeans are more interested in their oil paintings.
"Mr. Li Yang, thank you for the award. These are ordinary products!"
The smile on Charles's face became even brighter, and he said humbly. Li Yang's praise made him feel very proud.
People who do business like to be praised by others for the quality of their products.
"You're being too modest. It's really nice. There are a few pieces I like very much. Can you take a look at them?"
Li Yang turned around, looked at Charles, and said slowly.
In fact, there was only one work that Li Yang really took a fancy to, and that was the work that concealed another oil painting. This work painted the sea, and it was a pretty good landscape oil painting.
And the painting hidden inside it is definitely extraordinary.
There was no name on that painting. Li Yang's research on oil painting was not deep, or even very shallow, and he couldn't tell whose style it was. However, someone who could paint to this point was definitely not an unknown person.
If it weren't for the most famous one, Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" was a mural. Li Yang even wondered if he was lucky enough to come across that work.
"Of course, no problem, I'll get it to you right away!"
Charles responded immediately, asked Li Yang which paintings he was interested in, and actually walked over to help Li Yang get them.
Li Yang is also his customer now, and he is still a big customer. In addition, Li Yang himself is a well-known young master in the circle. Charles is very happy to do these things at this time.
"Li Yang, do you also study oil painting?" Bai Ming came over and asked in surprise.
“I haven’t researched it deeply, I just want to buy a few and go back and take a closer look!”
Li Yang smiled slightly. He didn't do any research. It was purely because he discovered hidden treasures. Such hidden treasures are also the most exciting things.
"That's it!" Bai Ming nodded slowly, his face even feeling a little relaxed.
At such a young age, Li Yang has already made remarkable achievements in many domestic fields. If he could even understand these Western things, he would be speechless.
Fortunately, it was not like this, so he was not under so much pressure.
Li Yang didn't know Bai Ming's little thoughts. He was still observing the oil paintings in front of him. What he really cared about was the landscape painting of the sea.
"Can you sell these to me?"
After looking at it for a while, when the porcelain there was almost ready, Li Yang asked again. He looked at five oil paintings in total, ranging in size, and they were all medium-sized works.
The reason why Li Yang chose so many was to cover up.
He only bought one piece and then took out the painting inside. He couldn't give an explanation, at least not to Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang. It was impossible to hide such a thing from them.
I couldn't explain it to the old man when I went back, so I bought a few more pictures, and when I found them, it was just an accident.
It can also make everyone less suspicious.
"Of course, you are my big customer!"
Charles laughed. The value of these oil paintings is not as high as those of porcelain, but they still have a certain value. Charles is very happy to be able to continue doing business.
Five oil paintings, totaling 180,000 euros.
The things here are much more expensive than those in the fringe markets outside, but only here can you see so many good things. Ursuline Street is a famous antique market throughout Europe.
Check, contract.
After completing these two tasks quickly, these five oil paintings became the treasures Li Yang purchased today.
After taking down the oil painting, Li Yang simply re-activated his special ability and scanned his surroundings. Everything in the surrounding shops immediately appeared on the three-dimensional screen.
Wusulan Street is indeed better than outside. Li Yang found several good things, but it is impossible to pick up these things, and the prices are definitely not low.
This made Li Yang slightly disappointed. There was no need to buy these things at high prices. He had some items in his own antique shop, and picking them up was the greatest pleasure.
"Mr. Li, the escort is here. Do you want to go back to the hotel with them, or stay here?"
Ten minutes later, Charles came to Li Yang and said something very polite.
Bai Ming rolled his eyes. These foreigners were just different from the Chinese. They actually asked this question like this. If in China, Li Yang bought so many things in an antique store, the boss would definitely pull Li Yang's hand. If you don't let him go, you will definitely arrange lunch.
"Go back first!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Yang said softly, still thinking about the painting "The Last Supper" in his mind.
First, I want to go back and check the information to see who this unsigned work belongs to. Second, I want to find an opportunity to take out this painting. The three-dimensional picture is very intuitive, but it is not as visible as the naked eye.
Feel.
Li Yang wanted to see with his own eyes what this painting looked like.
"Going back so soon?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and blurted out.
"Why don't you go back and stay here? Can you afford the things here?"
Bai Ming scolded him directly, and Xiao Yan smiled coquettishly. The things on Wusulan Street were indeed good, but unfortunately the prices were very high. With the little money in his pocket, he could only buy some small and inconspicuous items.
But the real reason why Bai Ming reprimanded him was because of Li Yang.
Li Yang wanted to go back, Xiao Yan said so directly, and he was a bit complaining. Bai Ming didn't want Li Yang to misunderstand anything.
In fact, even Bai Ming himself didn't want to leave at this moment. After all, he had just arrived here not long ago and he hadn't seen enough yet.
"Brother Bai, how about you and Xiao Xiao stay here first, and I go back by myself?" Li Yang also felt it and said immediately.
"No, we came here together and we have to go back together. Without you to follow, I won't be able to watch here by myself!"
Bai Ming immediately waved his hand and glared at Xiao Yan, while Xiao Yan lowered his head.
Now Xiao Yan also knows that he said the wrong thing.
"Brother Bai, I'm sorry, otherwise, we would come together tomorrow and have a good day of shopping, and no one is allowed to leave!"
Li Yang also understood that it was too early to leave, but the words had been spoken, and his heart was indeed not here anymore.
Bai Ming and the others were unwilling to stay, so Li Yang had no choice but to compensate them tomorrow. But he knew Bai Ming's temper, and it would be absolutely impossible for them to stay by themselves.
It's too late to say stay now, Bai Ming will definitely insist on going back.
"Okay, come back tomorrow. Mr. Mao and Teacher Cai will also come tomorrow. The more people there are, the more lively it will be!"
Bai Ming immediately laughed and nodded.
The escorts are already here. Just leave the goods to them. They will deliver them safely and reliably. If anything goes wrong, they will take full responsibility and compensate you.
However, the items purchased before and the oil paintings by Li Yang later were not given to them.
They took these away themselves, and the people invited by Charles were only responsible for escorting the batch of Guangcai porcelain.
This is also more in line with Li Yang's wishes. Now he regards oil paintings as more important than colored porcelain. He holds them just right in his hand and feels more at ease.
"Mr. Li Yang, Mr. Bai Ming, let's meet tomorrow!"
Charles sent Li Yang and the others to the street outside and said happily.
Li Yang and Bai Ming had already told him that they would come back tomorrow and take a good look at his other two stores. This made Charles very happy.
Any boss who invites a patron who can buy a lot of things will probably do this.
After bidding farewell to Charles, Li Yang and the others returned to the hotel. It was only noon when they arrived at the hotel. Several people had lunch directly in the hotel restaurant before returning to their rooms.
