Chapter 771 A painting, a key

When the mysterious painting completely turned to everyone, the central exhibition hall of the huge museum fell into a strange silence.

All the people present heard Wu Qian's introduction, and because of this, there was such a tranquility, because they heard a shocking name.

Da Vinci!
In the hearts of all those who love art, Da Vinci has an extremely lofty status. They may not like his works, but they will never deny Da Vinci's painting attainments.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the paintings in the glass showcase, and they held their breath to appreciate them, as if there was no glass protection outside the famous paintings that could resist shells, and blowing too much air would destroy them.

A naked baby is standing on the muddy ground, and his naive posture is vividly depicted. There is a withered flower bush in front of the baby, and a blooming purple flower is held in the hand with baby fat, and the face is full of brilliant smile.

The little baby found a blooming violet among the withered flowers, as if people who lived in darkness saw a ray of light.

Standing by the showcase, Wu Qian watched as the expressions on the faces of many people opposite him gradually changed. At first they were nervous and shocked, but slowly, they all revealed a smile from the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Qian knew that everyone must have been infected by Xiao Beibi's smile.

Labo Elkann was the first to react. He looked at Wu Qian with puzzled eyes, and the involuntary smile on his face was replaced by an aggrieved expression, as if to say, Wu, what did you do at the beginning? Or did you lie to me? !
When Wu Qian saw Labo Erkan's appearance, he felt sorry for him for three seconds. After all, he was able to find this painting.

"Everyone, I named this painting "Baby and Violet". I believe you must be amazed by the sudden appearance of Master Da Vinci's painting. Indeed, the process of discovering this painting is very magical..."

Wu Qian smiled at Rapo Elkann, and then began to describe the general process of discovering this famous painting.

How did I get the news by accident, how did I get the castle, how did I discover Botticelli's "Little Cupid" in the castle, and how did I discover "The Baby and the Violet"? The Baby and the Violet" was hidden in "Little Cupid" and brought to heaven...

Although Wu Qian's words are simple, they explain the process of discovering this painting very clearly.

Some unknown processes are hidden in it, such as his confrontation with the three major Italian families in the UK. There is no need to mention those things, everyone will make up their own brains...

"Here, I want to say sorry to my friend, Rapo Elkann. I did find two paintings instead of one. Your investigation did not make a mistake. In Leeds Castle, indeed Hidden away is a painting by the master Leonardo da Vinci."

"If it weren't for your clues, these two wonderful paintings would still be hidden in the door panels of the cellars and battlement gates of Leeds Castle, forgotten by the world, corrupted by time, and I don't know how long it would be before they were discovered, maybe never will not be discovered, and in view of this, my friend Lapo Elkann . . . "

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian walked towards the crowd, pulled Labo Elkann who was in a daze to the side of the glass display case, and continued: "Mr. Erkann will enjoy 20.00% of the museum's revenue every year, forever."

No one doubted the effect of Wu Qian's words, and everyone present understood the right of the gentleman in front of him to speak in the land of Suolan.

If Wu Qian hadn't said the last words, Lapo Elkann was destined to become the laughing stock of everyone in the circle, but now, no one dares to laugh at Lapo Elkann anymore. They saw Wu Qian's measure and envied Lapo Elkann Good luck to Bo Elkann.

The annual ticket revenue of the Louvre in France is about [-] million euros. Although the heritage of the Baibera branch is far less than that of the Louvre, at least in the last few years, it will definitely be full of glory.

With the support of the Louvre and the cooperation with many museums, the future of the Baipela branch will not disappoint everyone, which will be a magic weapon for Baipela to attract tourists.

Labo Elkann looked at Wu Qian with a complicated and weird expression on his face. He couldn't tell in his heart that there were so many baskets. In the end, he just turned around and hugged Wu Qian tightly, with his arms fiercely Wu Qian patted on the back.

Things have come to this point, he did lose a famous painting, but at least he didn't just use it as a wedding dress.

Not only became friends and business partners with Wu Qian, but also became a shareholder of the Louvre Baipela branch. He clearly knew that Wu Qian did not own 100% of the branch’s equity, and the Louvre must have a part. It is commendable to enjoy 20.00% of revenue.

"Wu, you are really...you are really...you are really a man who is good at creating surprises and surprises. After I met you, things surprised me one after another, but I believe that this must be the last time you make me feel Accident."

Letting go of your arms, Rapo Elkann said with a smile.

Wu Qian raised his hand, signaling Labo Erkan to take it easy and enjoy the famous paintings with everyone first.

In the central exhibition hall, many people gathered around the glass showcase, quietly admiring "Baby and Violet", everyone's movements were very gentle, as if they were afraid of waking up the person in the painting who was intoxicated by the beauty of violets. baby.

Some of the people present have a considerable level of appreciation. Although they did not use high-tech equipment, they observed the details of the painting, combined with Wu Qian's identity and the process of discovering the painting, and they were sure that this is the authentic work of Da Vinci. .

The vivid perspective is similar to the technique used in "Mona Lisa's Smile". Landscapes and buildings, withered flowers and soil, children and blooming flowers, everything is amazing.

Although Mona Lisa's smile is full of mystery, people can't help but study what the lady is thinking, but this little Beibei's smile is very contagious, which can make people who look at him People can't help but smile knowingly.

Although many people don't want to admit it, they really feel that this painting is as good as the "Mona Lisa Smile".

There are too many people, and it is not appropriate for the famous people to stay in front of the paintings for too long. They can discuss with Wu Qian and come back to take a look after the museum is closed, so they decided to leave the public time for the public.

When most of the people in front of the glass showcase regained their senses from admiring the paintings, Wu Qian pressed his hands with a smile and signaled everyone not to leave in a hurry.

"Just now my friend said that I am a person who is good at creating surprises and surprises. I do not deny this. He thinks that the paintings of Master Da Vinci will be the last surprises and surprises I bring to everyone, but I cannot agree with that. .”

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned. Everyone was a person with a certain emotional intelligence, and they understood the meaning of each other's words immediately.

"Dear Mr. Wu, don't you have any surprises to show everyone? My God, my hands are starting to tremble..."

A reporter asked excitedly. He was from a French media. He believed that after this overseas interview, he would most likely be greeted with a promotion and salary increase.

Wu Qian smiled, then nodded to Cooks.

Kux was instructed to walk towards a warehouse next to the exhibition hall, and after a while, a mobile display case was pushed out of it. The display case was similar to the display case for "Baby and Violet", but it was a few circles smaller. As before, the painting is covered with red silk.

Everyone's mood that had just calmed down was rippled again.

"Erkan, you come from a famous Italian family. You must have heard the legendary story about the inheritance of the Medici family. Please spread the word to the friends present."

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Lapo Elkann looked at Wu Qian suspiciously. The two had discussed this issue when they were in Florence before. Why did they talk about it again now? However, he did not save Wu Qian's face, and vividly described the last member of the Medici family. The story of a heir to forge a legacy key.

"The legendary inheritance key may have disappeared in the long river of time, or it may have never appeared in this world. Everything has been impossible to verify, leaving only a beautiful legend."

Lapo Elkann gestured to Wu Qian, saying that what he knew had been said.

The legendary story of the Medici family is known to everyone present. After all, it used to be a prominent family in Europe, but very few people have heard of the key to the inheritance. It is very fresh for everyone to hear this story for the first time.

Wu Qian nodded and thanked Rapo Elkann, and then walked to the small showcase, he stroked the red silk cloth, and said: "There is an old saying in the Celestial Dynasty, if the friends here are involved in the culture of the Celestial Dynasty, they may listen to it." However, that is 'the groundless rumors may not be without reason'."

"The existence of legends must have a certain degree of authenticity. If they are fabricated out of thin air, it will be difficult to spread them for hundreds of years. Over the centuries, the key to the heritage may lie in an unknown cellar, or in a certain river that runs endlessly. buried deep in the sand and mud of the riverbed, but that was in the past, and now, it appears..."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian gently pulled the red silk cloth away, and an exquisite glass showcase appeared in front of everyone. Among them, a beautiful and gorgeous key stood obliquely on a special transparent base, slowly turning.

Wu Qian's friends and the media all focused on the key in the showcase.

Many people have expected that since the story of the genetic key is mentioned, the following exhibits must have a certain connection with it, but they did not expect that this key actually appeared in the museum.

Many people looked at the coat of arms key with skepticism, thinking that it was too a coincidence.

It was the first time I heard a legendary story, and then the things in the story came to reality and came to my eyes, which is too magical.

The key in front of me is indeed simple and gorgeous in shape, and everyone knows the coat of arms on the handle of the key. It is indeed the family emblem of the Medici family, but if it is just said that it is a proof of inheriting countless wealth, it is a bit embarrassing. Willing to believe.

But among all the people, there are a few who don't think so, because their status is respected, they have heard the story of the Medici family very early, and they know the legendary family closely connected with the European Renaissance.

Among them was Lapo Elkann, who kept saying that he didn't believe the stories his grandfather told him, but felt that after so many years, even if there was such a key, it would be more difficult to find than Da Vinci's paintings. There are more or less thoughts in my heart.

He was very close to the small showcase, and walked to the side in one step, his eyes were almost stuck on the glass of the showcase, looking at the key in every detail, murmuring something, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

Same as Lapo Elkann, several older middle-aged men came out of the crowd. After obtaining Wu Qian's consent, they also walked up to him and began to look at the key carefully. One of them even took out the key. A magnifying glass with a unique shape, it can be seen that he is a rich man who likes to study artworks.

In the place where the reporters gathered, many people were on the phone. It was one thing to pass on the news, and the other thing was to ask people who might understand the matter to verify whether there was such a key.

One of the journalists from Florence contacted his immediate superior, and then contacted the curator of the Uffizi Gallery, who immediately asked him to take a photo and send it to him.

After obtaining consent, the reporter took a few close-up photos and sent them over, but there was no response.

"I know that everyone has great doubts about the authenticity of this key. In fact, I, like everyone, also have doubts. I won't go into details about the source of this key..."

It's not that Wu Qian doesn't want to elaborate, it's that he can't understand...

"At the beginning, I didn't know the purpose of this key. I thought it was the key of a safe. Later, this key was accidentally seen by a big man. He told me the real situation of this key. I Very shocked."

"Later, I went to Florence and thought about contacting the Florentine government to discuss the Medici family's heritage, but when I traveled to Florence and felt the magnificence of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, I finally stood in front of the Uffizi Gallery. Dispelling all thoughts, it doesn't even matter whether the key is true or not."

Everyone withdrew their eyes from the key, looked at Wu Qian, and listened to his detailed explanation. Everyone understood that there were not many people who could be called big shots by Mr. Wu, and that kind of people must have a certain degree of credibility when speaking.

"The Medici family promoted the European Renaissance and made Florence, and the local culture is inseparable from it. Whether this key is the certificate left by the last descendant of the Medici family to inherit the inheritance, I will not ask Italy takes any work of art."

"The works of art left over from the Renaissance belong to the spiritual wealth of all mankind, and should not belong to just one person. I hope that more people who love art can appreciate the works created by the sages of art 500 years ago."

"This key will remain in the museum forever, thank you everyone."
