Her Royal Highness, Mr. Bafaya, said: Originally, whether the transfer is your private matter, I should not comment on it. But I still want to ask you to carefully consider Mr. Yu's suggestion. The Luo Shen Fu Tu is a national treasure of China and a return to the
The land where it grows is better, so it is better to be imprisoned in your collection room for your personal viewing. I think Your Highness Princess, you must have made a wise decision.
The reason why Mr. Bafaya said this was of course to repay Yu Fei's kindness for transferring the Crystal Holy Grail to him.
Alice also had a hesitant expression on her face, but it was still too difficult for him to transfer the Luo Shen Fu Tu. She was a woman who was very persistent in her feelings, otherwise she would not have always admired her grandma Margaret who dared to love and hate, and even
She calls herself Margaret to the outside world. The depiction of love in Luo Shen's paintings touched her heart.
Alice, I know you are not short of money, but I can exchange it with you for paintings. Yu Fei said. Even if Alice's net worth is not as good as Yu Fei's, she will never be short of money. And the true love of collectors for collections is
Far more than money. If Yu Fei wants to use money to buy Luo Shen Fu Tu, it is absolutely impossible.
That's why Yu Fei came up with the idea of painting easily.
I know you like Monet's works. I can exchange all six Monet's paintings with you for the Luo Shen Fu paintings. Yu Fei said.
His words shocked both Alice and Bafaya. It is still the beginning of the 2000s. Although the price of Chinese art has increased to a certain extent, there is still a price gap compared to similar European art.
It's still huge. Even if the Luo Shen Fu Tu was auctioned at an auction house, the estimated transaction price would not exceed 20 million pounds.
Many single pieces of Monet's works have exceeded 20 million pounds. Although the value of Monet's sketches owned by Yu Fei is slightly lower, they are still in the range of 10 million pounds. Therefore, Yu Fei wants to exchange for Luo Shen Fu paintings.
In terms of value, it would be enough to take out only two or three paintings. But Yu Fei took out Liufu all at once, which made the two of them look shocked.
They didn't know whether Yu Fei was doing this or learning from Mr. Bafaya's practice in the crystal cup transaction.
If he is unwilling to pay a high price like Lewis, he may even miss out on the Luo Shen paintings in the end, which he is not willing to bear. That's why he took out all six Monet paintings at once like Bafaya.
The work is designed to make Princess Alice unable to refuse.
Some people may say that Yu Fei is too generous. He could have given out four or five sketches in exchange, so why give out all six?
The reason is that besides Yu Fei wanting to attract Alice, the other reason is of course that Yu Fei doesn't like European paintings very much.
Yu Alice hesitated to speak. Faced with Fei Xiji's eyes, she really couldn't bear to refuse.
Your Royal Highness, it can be seen that Mr. Yu is very sincere. Mr. Bafaya said again.
Alice. If you are willing, you can choose two more from the remaining ten paintings. Yu Fei further said.
Although he knew that in terms of value, the six Monet paintings had surpassed the paintings of Luo Shen Fu, Yu Fei could not afford to miss out. He bought these sixteen paintings for four hundred pounds, so he did not cherish them so much.
All along, whether it was exchanging the Shomu Emperor Sword in Tokyo, exchanging the works of the Japanese porcelain ancestors, or trading the Crystal Holy Grail, it was Yu Fei who was begged by others. This time was the first time that Yu Fei was begged by others for exchange.
Forget about the grievance. But there is nothing we can do about it. Who let Princess Alice have the Luo Shen Fu picture she likes in her hands? This can be regarded as evil retribution.
Alice breathed a long sigh of relief and said: Yu, I can't refuse your proposal. Okay. I also want to choose a work by Cézanne and a work by Raphael.
Although the prices of Cézanne and Raphael's works are less than 10 million, the difference is not too far apart. Yu Fei cursed in his heart, Alice can really do it.
In fact, Alice was showing mercy by not choosing the Picasso painting. After all, the value of that painting is definitely over ten million, or even higher.
However, judging from the fact that Alice quickly selected the two additional paintings, it is very likely that Alice has already been moved.
Yu Fei had already faintly realized that he had been deceived by Alice. In fact, she had already been tempted, and keeping pretending to be hesitant was just to tempt him to increase the risk.
Yu Fei said angrily: You know Alice, there is a saying in China that it is difficult for a woman to have both beauty and intelligence, but this law does not seem to work for you. Your beauty impresses me, and your intelligence
It also makes me feel inferior and sigh.
Alice knew that Yu Fei had noticed her trick, her pretty face turned red and she said: Yu, I'm not forcing you to do anything. I'm very grateful for your generosity. In return, you can also use the collection in my collection room.
Pick any two pieces of Chinese art to take away.
Yu Fei sneered, Alice was just pretending to be generous by doing this. There were very few Chinese works of art in her collection, and the quality was generally not high. Except for the paintings of Luo Shen Fu, there were only a few pieces that could be included in the collection.
Fei was impressed, and Yu Fei originally didn't want to agree. But based on the principle that mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, Yu Fei agreed with a wry smile.
Okay. Then I would like to thank Her Royal Highness Princess for your generosity. Yu Fei said.
He knew that he didn't get any advantage at all in this business with Alice, and it could even be said that he suffered a big loss. However, he was still overjoyed to be able to obtain Gu Kaizhi's authentic Luo Shen Fu painting.
After consulting Yu Fei's opinion, Alice asked the servant in charge of the collection room to carefully package the Luo Shen Fu Tu.
Yu, do you need to check again? Alice handed the wrapped scroll to Yu Fei and asked.
No need, I still don’t believe you? Yu Fei said with a smile. But having said that, Yu Fei still investigated carefully with the heart of a villain, and found that the painting in the scroll was indeed the Luo Shen Fu painting. This
I felt relieved.
Luo Shen Fu Tu can be regarded as a great harvest for Fei. More importantly, although he paid for eight paintings, these paintings were all picked up by him for 400 pounds, and he actually did not own them at all.
any losses.
Taking stock, Yu Fei gained 20 million pounds during his three days in London, plus two treasure hunt opportunities for the Bafaya Group. With his ability, he will definitely be able to bring back the two most precious Chinese antiques from the Bafaya family.
In addition, there are sixteen famous paintings. Eight have been traded now, and there are still eight left. There is one more Luo Shen Fu painting, and the harvest can be said to be full. If Ye Jianjun knew about it in the future, he might be very envious.
Next, Princess Alice took the two of them to visit the entire collection room. Sixty to seventy percent of the collection room were paintings, which also greatly impressed Bafaya.
It took a group of three people nearly three hours to visit the entire collection room.
Although Mr. Bafaya is the leading collector in Europe, he is very humble. His casual comments also gave Yu Fei and even Alice a lot of knowledge.
Yu Fei also gained a lot from Alice's collection room. He once saw Sumitomo Mitsui's collection room. Although it has a rich collection and a reasonable layout, Yu Fei always felt a little bit like a rich man. When he saw Alice
When visiting the silk collection room, Yu Fei knew what Mitsui Sumitomo's collection room lacked, that is, it lacked a bit of nobility. Even so, Mitsui Sumitomo's collection room was still better than his own yet-to-be-formed collection room.
Too much too much.
Yu, you are so persistent in collecting, so your collection must be very rich. I wonder if I would be honored to visit your collection room? Alice asked coquettishly.
Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: Okay, I will treat you well next time I come to Beijing.
The three of them began to walk back. Yu Fei used the energy of chaos to remember the layout of the entire collection room deeply in his mind, preparing to imitate this layout and transform his own collection room after going back.
Although the collection room was designed by Ye Jianjun and was considered very good, Yu Fei still found a lot of indirect ways from the layout of Princess Alice's collection room.
At this moment, he was suddenly attracted by a chaotic air in the corner.
