On the way back to the hotel, Mr. Mao said something sour to Bai Ming, and Bai Ming grinned and waved his hands, saying that he would definitely treat him to dinner in the evening.
Today, Li Yang and the others really spent the whole day shopping. It was already sunset in the afternoon, and it was not until this time that they returned from Wusulan Street.
On this day, they visited almost a third of Suwulan Street. They went into many shops. Even if they didn't buy anything, they would still go in and take a good look at the shops that only sold foreign art.
At first glance, this is a rare learning opportunity.
During this day, they also bought a lot of things.
The one who bought the most was Mr. Gao. He spent 1.6 million euros today, half of which was spent at Charles. I believe that his large purchase today will be known to his colleagues in the circle before long.
Next is Lin Lang.
Lin Lang bought something worth 900,000 euros today. One of the pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty cost him 800,000 euros. This blue and white porcelain was slightly damaged and had to be repaired, otherwise he would never be able to get the price at this price.
Lin Lang liked porcelain and liked this piece of porcelain very much, so he bought it.
Next is Li Yang. Li Yang spent thirty-three euros today, which is much less than yesterday. This is still the result of his control. If he buys something he likes when he sees it, he will definitely be the first again today.
The three of them bought nearly three million euros in one day, and all of a sudden, their names were spread on Usulan Street.
If you add the more than two million from Li Yang yesterday, the three of them will be almost five million. Such financial backers are not common on Wusulan Street.
After all, this is just an antique market, not an auction with centralized sales. If you can spend more than five million euros in two days, you are definitely the key customer that every store hopes to get.
But the one who gained the most today was not the three of them, but Bai Ming.
Bai Ming bought a mutton-fat jade pendant for 30,000 euros. This jade pendant was originally from the early Ming Dynasty, but it was sold as being from the Republic of China.
The gap between them is huge.
This is an unearthed jade pendant, and it also has a good black qin. When a jade pendant like this is brought to China, it can be sold almost ten times. No wonder Mao Laohui is so bitter.
He and Teacher Cai may not have made as much money as Bai Ming did this time.
"No problem, I'll treat you tonight, you're welcome!"
Bai Ming picked up the leak and was in a good mood. He didn't care at all after hearing what Mr. Mao said. Instead, he laughed and agreed.
His luck was indeed good today. Even Li Yang, who was always easy to pick up leaks, was empty-handed, allowing him to take the lead. He was the only one who really picked up big leaks today.
This rare mutton-fat jade accessory can basically be identified as the accessory of Prince Ning in the early Ming Dynasty. After returning to China, the price was at least 3 million, which is equivalent to 300,000 euros. It has indeed increased by almost ten times.
"This is what you said, we will only order the most expensive ones tonight, not the best ones!"
Teacher Cai also said that he also bought something worth about 10,000 euros today, but they were all ordinary works of art and there was nothing missing. He felt a little sad at this moment.
"Okay, whoever orders pays the bill, I just want to eat enough!"
Bai Ming said in an awe-inspiring manner. After he finished speaking, everyone reacted and started laughing and scolding Bai Ming one after another, accusing Bai Ming of being an old man.
After a while, there was constant laughter in the car. Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of the glass on the car window was good, otherwise the police might have been alerted and chased them.
"Buzz!"
Li Yang's pocket suddenly shook. His cell phone always vibrated and had a ring tone. Fortunately, this was the case. If it was just a ring tone, Bai Ming's big voice could suppress all the music on the cell phone.
"Old man?"
When he saw the caller's number, Li Yang was slightly startled, and then answered the call after speaking softly.
Liu Gang and Wang Jiajia both looked at Li Yang. The old man rarely called Li Yang and would only call when something really happened. At this time, they suddenly received a call from his old man, and both of them were a little curious.
"Li Yang, where are you?"
The old man's voice sounded energetic and a little excited. He didn't say anything else to Li Yang when he came up, he just asked a simple question.
"I was just going back. Bai Ming picked up a big leak today..."
Li Yang smiled slightly and briefly talked about today's events. The old man listened and laughed, and finally burst into laughter.
"Li Yang, no matter how big the leaks they picked up are, they are still not as big as yours. Do you know what the painting you sent is?"
The old man laughed loudly, and there seemed to be a strong sense of satisfaction in his tone.
"Painting, the last supper?" Li Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked again.
"Yes, no matter how good the leak Bai Ming picked up, it can't be compared with the leak you picked up. We have confirmed that this is the painting that Leonardo da Vinci first created and is his most proud work!"
The old man's voice continued to come from the phone, and Li Yang, who was still in the car, was completely stunned.
Is "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci? This result was something Li Yang never expected or even thought about. He didn't know the secret, so naturally he didn't know that Leonardo da Vinci had ever created such a painting.
painting.
The old man suddenly told him this result, and he was only shocked.
If the old man hadn't said this himself, he would have just taken it as a joke and might have looked at the calendar to see if today was April Fool's Day.
"Old man, how could it be that Leonardo da Vinci painted? Isn't that mural he painted?"
After being stunned for a while, Li Yang asked. This was his instinctive question, not because he didn't believe what the old man said.
Anyone who doesn't know this secret may have such doubts.
"It's a long story, so I won't tell you directly. Dean Huang will go to Milan in the next two days and let him tell you in detail!"
The old man smiled again. He held the phone but kept looking to the right.
There, a simple oil painting was hanging on an easel. The painting was no longer dull as before. The surface of the painting seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice, and the characters in the painting seemed to be alive.
The Lord Jesus in the center is full of sadness and keeps saying something.
The twelve disciples around him all had different expressions. The most prominent one was Judas, who seemed to be very frightened, a little regretful, and even a little ferocious.
This painting is not three-dimensional like the water painting, nor is it like "Lanting Preface", where each word carries a different artistic conception.
But this painting makes you look so natural at first glance. Every character in the painting can attract you. When you look at this character, he seems to be looking at you, expressing his inner thoughts.
But when you pay attention to a certain person in the conversation, other people around him are moving, as if they are really having the Last Supper.
This is not a one-person feeling, everyone has it. When you focus on any of the twelve disciples, you can feel the movements of the people around you.
They are real movements. From the corner of your eye, you can clearly see them moving again, really moving.
It was not the kind of hallucinatory movement. Mr. Fang and Mr. Xu swore that they saw the movements of these people, and even the old man himself saw it all.
But when you focus on a moving person, his movements stop again and he stops to express his thoughts.
At this time, you can still clearly feel his thoughts.
For example, the disciple John was telling his loyalty. He was definitely not the one who betrayed the Lord Jesus. He was the most loyal person to the Lord Jesus.
There is also the disciple Thomas. When you pay attention to him, you will find that he is accusing the traitors, cursing the traitors, and wants the traitors to go to hell and live in hell forever.
Everyone has a different thought and different feelings.
Mr. Xu, Mr. Fang, Dean Huang and the old man all felt the same thoughts in everyone. In other words, everything expressed by each person in the painting can resonate with everyone.
Apart from anything else, this is something that other painters cannot do.
The work of a master, this is the work of a real master. Mr. Xu used the manuscripts left by Master Xu Beihong to truly verify all of this.
The painting Li Yang accidentally found, a seemingly inconspicuous "The Last Supper", was the one rumored to have been created by Leonardo da Vinci.
There is no signature, but the painting method truly belongs to Leonardo da Vinci, and only he can create such a masterpiece of unconstrained style and true thought.
In addition to that rumor, even if this painting has no name, it can already be determined to be the work of Leonardo da Vinci.
Besides, a person with such skill would not deliberately imitate Leonardo da Vinci. He would be able to leave a name for himself through the ages, and the existence of rumors is ironclad evidence that this painting is the work of Leonardo da Vinci.
As the old man spoke, his mind was attracted by the paintings in front of him, and he didn't even hear what Li Yang called him.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
It wasn't until Li Yang shouted anxiously that the old man slowly came back to his senses. This kind of loss of consciousness was extremely rare for him.
"I'm fine. What did you just say?"
The old man turned around and withdrew all his attention. He was too excited, otherwise he would not have behaved like this. However, such a lack of concentration only happened once for him.
The old man's control is very strong.
"Why did Dean Huang suddenly come to Milan? Does he have any other ideas?"
Li Yang said again, this is what he said just now. Dean Huang was coming suddenly. Considering Dean Huang's character, he couldn't help but think too much.
"Haha, you are overthinking. I have already told him about your purchase of land to open a museum. He is very supportive of your move. When he comes to Milan this time, he has something important to discuss with you. You are waiting there.
He is it!”
The old man laughed fiercely, and while laughing, he secretly glanced at Dean Huang, who was admiring the paintings obsessively.
Dean Huang has long been "notorious", so it's no wonder that Li Yang has such thoughts.
