At this time, Li Tiancheng's eyes caught Lin Chen and others hiding in the corner.
He was slightly stunned, wondering why those three guys were here?
That's all, they are just losers after all, not worthy of his concern.
After coughing, Li Tiancheng nodded to the ghost guy next to him, indicating that he could start the press conference.
The latter immediately picked up the microphone and announced: "Dear journalists, welcome to your arrival. I have called you here today to announce two pieces of news."
"First, we want to tell you that the auction of "The Sleeping Venus" by the 16th century painter Giorgione has been completed. The man next to me, Mr. Li Tiancheng, successfully acquired this work for US$700 million.
A masterpiece!”
"oh!"
A group of reporters exclaimed. They picked up their cameras one after another and took pictures of Li Tiancheng.
Flash lights kept coming on at the scene.
"Secondly, Mr. Li Tiancheng will donate this "Sleeping Venus" to the Eagle Museum free of charge!"
"What?!"
"Oh my god! Just donate something worth 700 million US dollars?!"
Upon hearing the news, the reporters at the scene were even more crazy than before, and the flashlights in their hands kept shining.
A reporter asked: "Mr. Li! Why did you donate the painting you spent 700 million US dollars on?"
Li Tiancheng said with a smile on his face: "Master Giorgione's "Sleeping Venus" is a world-class work of art and a heritage for all mankind! Such an artistic treasure cannot of course be monopolized by any one person."
Another reporter raised his hand and said: "Mr. Li, I heard that you are from the Li family in Hong Kong Island. If so, why don't you donate this painting to a museum in the mainland or Hong Kong Island?"
"The Great Eagle Country Museum is the highest-level museum in the world. Only there can my paintings be properly preserved. As for other places, unfortunately, their standards are too low and they lack audiences with sufficient artistic taste. I have never considered it."
Pass them." Li Tiancheng replied without hesitation.
Li Tiancheng's answer was filled with contempt for the mainland and Hong Kong Island, which made some reporters from Hong Kong Island and the mainland frown at the scene.
But their attention was quickly attracted by another thing.
Because the next step is to show "Sleeping Venus" to these reporters.
Under Li Tiancheng's personal hands, "Sleeping Venus", which had been covered with white cloth before, finally revealed its true face in Lushan.
After seeing the true appearance of this masterpiece that has been passed down from generation to generation, the scene immediately became a sensation. Every reporter excitedly picked up the camera and took pictures of "Sleeping Venus".
The flashlights on the scene kept flashing.
But at this moment, something strange happened suddenly.
"Sister Su! Look at that painting!" Fang Han suddenly shouted and pointed at the oil painting.
Su Ningyu looked shocked. Although Lin Chen had expected it, he was stunned by the scene that happened in front of him.
I saw that under the flashlights of the surrounding reporters, the color of the "Sleeping Venus" turned dim in front of everyone.
The colorful colors on the original canvas gradually disappeared, as if someone was washing the canvas with solvent.
Seeing this scene, the reporters who had good intentions screamed one after another.
"What's going on?!"
"Why are oil paintings disappearing?!"
"Oh my God!"
At the same time, some knowledgeable people suddenly reacted.
"Photo-etching phenomenon! This is photo-etching phenomenon!"
Hearing this cry, the ghost guy who came with Li Tiancheng suddenly shouted: "No! Let these reporters turn off the flash! Hurry!"
The bodyguards rushed out immediately and violently forced the reporters to turn off their flashlights. If they disagreed, they would punch and kick them, grab the flashlights and throw them to the ground.
The scene was chaotic.
But no matter what, it was already too late.
"Sleeping Venus", which Li Tiancheng spent 700 million US dollars to buy, has become a canvas that has lost its color.
Although the figure of Venus in the painting can still be vaguely recognized on the canvas, it is completely different from its original appearance.
"Me, my Venus! My Venus!"
Li Tiancheng looked devastated, with sweat pouring down his face. He still looked like the high-spirited and handsome young man he had been before.
After taking pictures of the destroyed Venus, the reporters quickly turned their cameras on Li Tiancheng.
Upon seeing this, the Li family's bodyguards quickly surrounded Li Tiancheng and led him away quickly.
Not long after, there was a burst of laughter on the street outside the auction company.
Fang Han hugged his belly and laughed without caring about the image: "Brother Lin, Sister Su! Did you just see Li Tiancheng look so bad? This bad boy! I bet that tonight he will become the most famous person in Hong Kong."
The laughing stock. A painting bought for 700 million US dollars turned into a piece of waste paper, hahaha! Is there anything more embarrassing than this in the world?"
Su Ningyu smiled, turned around and said curiously: "Lin Chen, you are so awesome! This time's "Sleeping Venus" is too dangerous. If my grandfather bought it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stand the excitement."
"It's not all my fault this time. Without Fangzi's reminder, I wouldn't have known that the painting might have been damaged. By the way, Ningyu, what did those people mean by the photoetching phenomenon just now?"
Su Ningyu explained: "Photoetching phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which the chemical substances of oil paintings are corroded by strong light. Today's oil paints generally contain acidified zinc and calcium carbonate. These two substances are in high temperature and humid places.
It is easy for photoetching to occur.”
Speaking of this, Su Ningyu said strangely: "But in Giorgione's time, there should not be any chemicals used in the paints of oil paintings? Why did photoetching appear in that painting? And generally speaking, photoetching should
It’s a slow process, but why is the photo-etching reaction of that painting so intense?”
Lin Chen shrugged: "Don't ask me about this. Although I can talk things through, I'm not omnipotent."
"Isn't this easy to understand? God must be dissatisfied with Li Tiancheng and deliberately make him unlucky!"
Fang Han's words made Lin Chen and Su Ningyu couldn't help laughing.
After the laughter, the three of them stood on the side of the road. Fang Han picked up his phone and prepared to ask his driver to drive over to pick them up.
But at this moment, a woman's roar broke into his ears.
Not far from them, they saw a couple in their twenties quarreling. There was a Mercedes-Benz parked next to the couple. A middle-aged white man with a slightly bald forehead was getting out of the car, and then he came
Beside the woman, a hand wrapped around her waist.
"My dear, it's not over yet?"
"Darling, just wait." The girl smiled charmingly at the ghost guy, turned around and glared at the boy.
"Lu Li! I told you! We are finished! Now I am David's girlfriend!"
