After the episode just now, the atmosphere of the charity auction is gone.
Seeing that it was getting late, Eskenazi naturally announced that the auction was over!
Just when Liu Dong and Mei Xue were about to say hello to Chen and Melissa and prepare to leave, they were stopped by Eskenazi.
"Liu, are you interested in seeing my collection room?"
After Eskenazi finished speaking, Liu Dong's eyes lit up instantly.
As a well-known collector and appraiser throughout Europe, Eskenazi has a well-educated family background. The treasures in Eskenazi's collection are not only countless, but also definitely not low. This kind of temptation is simply too tempting for Liu Dong.
Hard to resist!
"Of course I'm interested!" Liu Dong said quickly after being stunned for a moment.
"Haha!" After smiling, Eskenazi continued: "But I have to trouble you two to wait here for a while. Let me send these guests away first, and then I will take you two to see it!"
"Okay, please sir!"
After nodding and smiling at Liu Dong, Eskenazi turned and left.
Turning to look at Mei Xue, who looked calm but had some struggle in her eyes, Liu Dong whispered in her crystal clear ear: "I'll explain to you what happened just now when I get back!"
Hearing this, Mei Xue glanced at him, hesitated, and nodded lightly.
Seeing her like this, Liu Dong felt relieved.
At this moment, Edward Chen and Melissa came over together, "Liu Dong, Mei Xue, let's go together?"
"No, I have an appointment with Mr. Eskenazi and we have to talk about some things. It may take a while before I can leave. You go first!" Liu Dong said.
"Okay then! ... By the way, Liu! This is our address and phone number. Remember to call me tomorrow. As the host, I will take you to visit London this time!" Edward Chen said,
Handed over a piece of paper.
Liu Dong took it and took a look at it. He put it in his pocket and said with a smile: "Okay, I also plan to visit London for a few days to see the local customs and customs. I was originally worried that I would not find anything really interesting because I was not familiar with the place.
It’s much more convenient for us now that you, the landowner, are leading the way!”
"Haha, then we've made a deal!" Chen laughed.
"It's settled!" Liu Dong nodded.
Afterwards, the two made an appointment to meet tomorrow, chatted briefly and said goodbye to each other!
After waiting for about half an hour, all the guests were sent away by Eskenazi.
"Liu, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting!"
"It's okay, Mr. Eskenazi, can we start now? I can't wait to admire your collection room!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Of course, please come with me, both of you!"
Under the leadership of Eskenazi, Liu Dong and Mei Xue walked out of the hall, walked along the corridor for more than ten meters, and then turned into a study!
This study is so big. It covers an area of at least more than 200 square meters and is more than 6 meters high. It is close to the walls and the bookshelves as high as the room are filled with books, leaving only the east wall.
There are more than twenty oil paintings of different sizes hanging!
In addition to the bookshelves placed close to the wall, there is a large oak desk in the center of the entire study. The desk is more than 4 meters long and nearly 2 meters wide. There are detailed and beautiful carvings around the four legs of the desk.
However, there are not many things placed on the desk top. Apart from desk lamps, ink, pens, paper, and a few books, the most abundant thing is magnifying glasses of different specifications! This is the standard equipment of any professional appraiser!
In addition to these two desks, there is a table next to it that is similar in size to this desk but is specially used for stacking books. Judging from the slightly messy placement on it, these books are now commonly used by the owner.
Of course, in such a large study, there is also a place for receiving guests.
In the southeast corner of the study room, there are several sets of sofas and oak coffee tables, along with some green plants, plaster, bronze sculptures and other decorations.
After looking around the entire living room, Liu Dong turned around and praised with a hint of envy: "Eskenazi is such a great place!"
Eskenazi naturally understood the meaning of Liu Dong's words, "These are the contributions of the ancestors of the Eskenazi family. And I am just a successor!"
Although he said this, the pride on Eskenazi's face was beyond words.
Of course, he also has reason to be proud. Under the light of Liu Dong's relics, everything in this large and slightly empty study room is shining with aura. Although most of it is white aura, and it is relatively thin, but
Even so, it means that everything here is an antique of genuine value.
Although most of them are not valuable, the quantity is staggering.
This once again allowed Liu Dong to see how rich these old nobles in Europe have accumulated. And the history of the Eskenazi family is only more than a hundred years old!
From this we can also see the importance of historical heritage to collection!
"Mr. Eskenazi, you're welcome. Inheritance is also a kind of wealth! What's more, you have made them richer today!" Liu Dong said.
"Haha, that's true! Without the knowledge accumulated by my family, I wouldn't have the appraisal level I have now!" The Eskenazi family, whose ancestors have been engaged in the appraisal industry and run antique shops, can be regarded as having a family background. This is obviously
Played a key role in the growth of Dennis Eskenazi.
And Liu Dong, who came from a wild background, envied people like Eskenazi the most!
His own experience made Liu Dong understand that a good master is more important than anything else.
"Sorry, Liu! Please wait here for a moment!"
After leading the two of them to the reception area in the study, Eskenazi turned his head and apologized.
And Liu Dong also understood the hidden meaning of the other party's words. If someone wanted to open the door to the real collection room, of course the passwords involved could not be seen by outsiders.
"It's okay! Let's wait here!" Liu Dong said.
"Haha, it doesn't take too long, just a few minutes is enough!" After saying that, Eskenazi nodded to the two of them, turned around and left!
And Liu Dong did not use the relic Yuanguang to peek into other people's secret room passwords!
For him, the relic Yuanguang is a powerful weapon in the world, and it can almost be said that it cannot go anywhere. But sometimes the relic Yuanguang is too powerful, and it is also a burden on Liu Dong's psychology.
Because he must always maintain a normal heart, restrain powerful power, and do whatever he wants.
Otherwise, if he really relies on the relic Yuan Guang to steal the bank vault without restraint and collect all the antique treasures he wants. Although he will get his wish by then, this kind of thought has already become a obsession!
As the saying goes: 'If you want to make him perish, you must first make him crazy.' If he really steals the world with the help of his relics, then death is probably not far away!
Therefore, Liu Dong tried his best to maintain a certain degree of self-restraint while enjoying the convenience of the relic Yuanguang!
Unless necessary, he will never use his abilities indiscriminately on big issues of right and wrong!
"Click!"
With a soft sound, a silver-white coded door that was different from the entrance door of an ordinary apartment was revealed in the bookshelf behind the desk!
In Eskenazi, after manually entering the password and verifying the iris, the password door slowly opened!
"Liu...!"
Looking at Eskenazi who was waving to him, Liu Dong immediately pulled Mei Xue to stand up, "Let's go, let's go there!"
At this time, Mei Xue, who had become interested in antiques under Liu Dong's influence, was also very interested in Eskenazi's collection, so she also accelerated her pace under Liu Dong's guidance!
"Please come with me!" Eskenazi said after the two walked in.
"Um!"
After Liu Dong nodded, he saw Eskenazi taking the lead and walking in. Liu Dong and Mei Xue, who followed behind, also saw the space inside after passing through the password door.
Like most storage rooms located underground, after taking a few steps forward, there is also a steel staircase that slopes downward.
When Liu Dong and the two walked down from above under the guidance of Eskenazi, they also saw clearly the treasure room, which was larger than the study room above!
The display racks in this large treasure room are filled with all kinds of antiques, including porcelain, sculptures, calligraphy and paintings from China, Indian gods, ancient books, as well as Egyptian and Greek pottery bottles, gold and silverware.
.As for local European oil paintings, sketches, prints, and royal utensils, let alone them!
The number is no less than 20,000 pieces, and almost most of them are high-quality products.
Obviously this is the accumulation of hundreds of years of the Eskenazi family!
"Dear, look at this oil painting, it's so beautiful!"
Following the direction Mei Xue pointed, Liu Dong saw an oil painting placed on the display stand on his left!
The content of the oil painting is a corner of the pasture, a clear stream, lush green woods, and green grass; plus six or seven cows grazing leisurely, drinking water, or lying on their sides leisurely; against the backdrop of the distant scenery.
The house, under the blue sky and white clouds, shows a beautiful pastoral scenery, quiet and natural, so that people who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city can't help but want to indulge in it.
"Jacob van Roysdaal!"
Hearing this, Eskenazi next to him glanced at Liu Dong and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Liu not only has a deep research on oriental artworks, but his level of appraisal of oil paintings is also extraordinary!"
"Haha, I am really interested in oil paintings! But Mr. Eskenazi's collection amazes me even more!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Jakob van Roysdaal was one of the most famous landscape painters in the Netherlands in the 17th century and a pioneer of Dutch classical landscape painting. His landscape paintings were vivid and beautiful, and his realism skills were profound!
However, like Van Gogh, this man became famous after his death, but was poor and unknown during his lifetime! But now, the price of any one of Roysdahl's landscape paintings exceeds tens of millions of pounds! (To be continued.)
