Chapter 1113 The origin of the wooden box?
Orlando's words instantly aroused everyone's emotions, and it was only then that everyone realized that the things piled on the table were not only extremely valuable, but also as rich as the rest of the country.

Van Gogh's paintings cost at least tens of millions of dollars, and some fine works cost hundreds of millions. The same goes for Picasso's. Judging from the current auction situation, there are several paintings worth hundreds of millions.

So according to the average price, such a painting is at least 6000 million US dollars, which is more than 4 million yuan equivalent, but this is not the point.

The point is that there are more than 30 paintings on this table. If calculated according to this average value, it would be quite terrifying.

The total value is definitely more than 120 billion! ! !
When Orlando revealed the total value, everyone was shocked!

I'm a good boy, this is a bit too invincible to pick up leaks, isn't it?

A box picked up easily is worth tens of billions?

You can't rob a bank that fast, right?

Chu Yunfeng still acted relatively calmly. He hesitated and said, "I have only opened three paintings. They are not necessarily all paintings by Van Gogh and Picasso, right?"

Versailles!
This was definitely a speech from Versailles, and it was immediately despised by Ma Fu and Orlando. Even if the other paintings were not of high value, just these three paintings could no longer be taken lightly.

The three teachers in the video behaved differently. Teacher Jin and Teacher Qiu seemed more excited, but there seemed to be something wrong with Teacher Cai's expression?

He seemed to have something to say, but when it came to his lips, he squirmed twice but didn't say it.

But at this time, everyone was focusing on Chu Yunfeng and Orlando, and no one paid attention to Teacher Cai's strange expression.

Facing Chu Yunfeng's indifferent attitude, Orlando seemed helpless, so he could only spread his hands and said very seriously: "Don't be too careless.

Although only we know now, where do you plan to put these things?
Europe is different from China. The thieves here are much stronger than you imagined. Even if it is a painting, they will try their best to steal it. There are more than 30 copies here?

It is definitely not safe to put them here. I will mobilize security immediately to send all these paintings back to China for you.

I had already informed the security department before coming here, and two security teams had been prepared, which seemed to come in handy!

Of course, some necessary procedures still need to be completed, but don’t worry, you will definitely arrive in China safely. "

Raphael immediately continued: "Mr. Chu, don't worry, leave this matter to me, there will be no problem, I will contact someone right away."

I thought Chu Yunfeng would agree, but unexpectedly, even Mu Qing and Ma Fu looked like they didn't agree, which puzzled Orlando and Raphael.

Teacher Jin in the video is also persuading: "Xiao Chu, you are right to listen to them. Security must be strengthened. Europe is not very safe. If something is stolen, you can't get it back."

Chu Yunfeng also agreed with what Teacher Jin said, so when Orlando was about to ask why, he immediately explained: "I know everything, but I don't plan to bring these paintings back to the country!"

"What? Then what are you going to do?"

Teacher Jin was the first to ask a question. This was also everyone's question, so many people frowned, waiting for Chu Yunfeng's answer.

I saw Chu Yunfeng suddenly laughed, and smiled brightly, touched the unopened painting with his hand, and then said with a look of anticipation: "Of course I'm going to exchange things with our Lord Duke.

This batch of things was leaked from him. He must really want to buy them back, and let him exchange them for them when the time comes! "

hiss~!

Great idea!

Orlando's eyes lit up and he immediately replied excitedly: "Yes, yes, that old thing should be allowed to bleed properly. If he doesn't buy this thing back, he will be embarrassed!

Like this, let's give him a little bit of news first. If he still wants to bargain, then we threaten to reveal this matter, and he will definitely not be able to stand it.

Hahaha, if you do this, he will definitely change it, and our price must be high, giving him at least a 30% premium. Otherwise, we will not change it, return to China with the thing, and then make him make a big fool of himself.

Hahahahaha."

Orlando seemed to have been very angry last time. Seeing Duke Dalton embarrassed really made him happy, and Raphael also said that doing so was definitely the best way.

Everyone at the scene cheered, which made the three teachers a little confused. Change something?

what's the situation?
Naturally, the three teachers didn't know about this "action". They only learned about it after receiving information from Xuande Lu, so they didn't quite understand what everyone meant.

So Ma Fu began to describe the purpose of coming here, and described the battle of wits and strength in a vivid way, which immediately made the three teachers uneasy.

During this period, Chu Yunfeng continued to produce five more paintings. What is amazing is that these five paintings were all by Van Gogh, one oil painting and four sketches.

After Ma Fu finished explaining, Teacher Cai continued to hesitate, but suddenly thought about it, smiled mysteriously, and finally said nothing.

But Orlando began to lose his composure, he frowned and said with a very serious expression: "These paintings are a bit weird, aren't they?

Are there too many Van Gogh paintings?

According to what I know, most of Van Gogh's paintings are kept in Dutch museums. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many in stock, right? "

stock?

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Mu Qing immediately explained: "According to the current experts' judgment, apart from the paintings in the museum, there will not be too many paintings circulating outside.

But now it seems that there must be many more paintings by Van Gogh. So when were these paintings painted by Van Gogh?
After the painting is finished, where is it stored?How did the Nazis get it?
The most important point is that these are all paintings by Van Gogh that have never been made public. If so many of them appear at once, they will definitely cause a huge sensation. "

Orlando and Raphael also thought of this level, so they nodded seriously. Once this thing appears, the pressure will be great.

So Orlando added: "Miss Mu Qing is right, the best way is not to make it public. Once it is made public, many organizations will come to harass you non-stop.

But this is also an advantage for us, and it will also make Dalton care more about these paintings. He does not want to be known as a fool for the rest of his life, so he will definitely take back these paintings quietly.

So we must be able to teach him a good lesson, hahahahaha."

The scene was full of joy and laughter, and everyone understood the opportunity contained in it, so Chu Yunfeng began to speed up the inspection of the paintings.

Next: Van Gogh’s oil painting!

"Wow, that's great! Another one!"

Next one: Picasso figure oil painting!
"Wow, it's Picasso again, this is so valuable!"

The next few pictures were all by Van Gogh, which ignited everyone's passion. Everyone was extremely excited, especially Teacher Jin in the video call, who almost flew over without wings.

Every time a painting came out, he would be so excited that he roared twice before he could express the excitement in his heart.

It went all the way to the end, and when there was only the last one left, a painting with a different style appeared, which was a painting of a woman.

The woman in the painting is in a semi-lying position and is wearing high boots. However, there is no chair under this semi-lying position, which gives people a very strange feeling.

The style and color of this painting are completely different from those of Van Gogh and Picasso, so Teacher Jin forgot to yell and looked at it with all his attention.

"This is, this is, this should be Schiele's painting. Only his paintings have this style. Check the signature and see if it has his signature."

Teacher Jin's breathing was a little short, and he urged Chu Yunfeng again and again, so Chu Yunfeng quickly searched on the painting, but couldn't find the front, so he immediately turned the painting over.

"Yes, here is the signature!"

Sure enough, there was a signature on the back of the painting. When Teacher Jin saw it, he immediately cheered: "Aha, it is indeed Schiele's painting, that's right.

Right, right, right.”

Teacher Jin suddenly became a little crazy and danced on the spot, which made people feel a little strange.

"Fat Jin, what are you doing?"

Teacher Qiu couldn't understand why he suddenly went "crazy". Wasn't it Schiele's painting? Why was he so excited?
However, Teacher Qiu did not expect that he would be criticized immediately, and he was so angry that he lost his temper.

"What do you know? Once Schiele's painting came out, it further confirmed the origin of this box. Do you understand?"

Seeing Teacher Qiu's confused look, Teacher Jin became even more proud, and then said proudly: "If I didn't tell you, you would never know this. This box is definitely Hitler's treasure.

And maybe he hid it himself. If you don’t believe it, I’ll tell you something. But what makes me strange is that if you follow this logic, there should be more than just these paintings in it?
Okay, let’s go too far, let me tell you about it first!

If I go by my inference, there should be paintings by several people in this box, and among them there should be paintings by Hitler. "

Teacher Jin had just said this when he immediately heard Chu Yunfeng ask: "No, Hitler can also draw?"

The rest of the people also nodded. It seems that they have never heard of Hitler's works. It seems that no museum has displayed them, right?

Teacher Jin chuckled and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of him. He has caused such a big storm in Europe, so how can he still be in the limelight?

In fact, before he started the war, he was a painter who made a living by selling his works, and he had hoped to become a great artist.

However, his failure to apply for the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907 and 1908 put his wish in limbo.

He was very good at painting architecture. After being rejected by the academy, he painted a large number of postcards of Vienna scenes and visited a coffee shop in Munich, hoping to get the attention of artists there to help him realize his artistic ambitions.

Unfortunately, this method did not work as expected, but the period in Vienna and Munich was the most productive period for his paintings.

From 1908 to 1914, he painted an average of 2-3 paintings a day and created nearly a thousand paintings in total. "

"One, one thousand?

Why can't I see anything on display? "

As soon as Ma Fu asked this question, Teacher Jin immediately said with disdain: "You are still a European, don't you know that Europe can't tolerate him?
Therefore, after the end of World War II, most of Hitler's paintings were taken away by the US military for preservation and refused to be exhibited.

But these are not the main point. The main point is that he had planned to build a museum in Austria to store all the art plundered during World War II and build it into one of the largest cultural and art centers in Europe.

To this end, he also personally drew architectural manuscripts to classify the collections in the museum.The shape of this museum, like the Nazi architecture, will also tend to be based on classical architectural plans such as Greece and Rome.

According to the plan, the museum was supposed to be completed in 1950, but with the defeat of the Nazi group, this plan eventually came to nothing. "

Chu Yunfeng was still a little confused. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately asked: "Then what is the connection between these and this box? Why does there have to be Hitler's paintings in the box?"

In the video, the teacher’s smile looked even more mysterious, and Teacher Jin replied somewhat depressedly: “Because Hitler’s ideal museum should display classical works.

They should depict graceful female bodies, idealized soldiers, Eden-like landscapes, etc., in order to fit the imperial vision of a superior race.

He loves classical oil painting masters such as Hans Makart and Franz de Fregel, and scorns artists such as Picasso and Karlhoff.

So in 1933, he issued an order to purge those painters, musicians and other people in the literary and artistic fields who loved modern art.

In 1937, he curated an exhibition called "Decadent Art" in which he displayed works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Schiele and others in a chaotic manner and labeled them with mocking text.

Soon the exhibition was being held in other countries, and he was convinced that these modernist arts were the product of Jews and Bolsheviks and would tarnish the noble art of the Aryans. "

When Teacher Jin said this, everyone at the scene suddenly realized, and Chu Yunfeng immediately responded: "This makes it right. Hitler must have collected many paintings by famous artists that he didn't like.

Part of it was used for exhibition with a mocking label, but probably because there were too many paintings, a large part was not released and was eventually collected by him.

The paintings in this box are most likely what he planned to hide, but the question is, since he doesn't like these people's paintings, why didn't he destroy them instead of hiding them secretly? "

Teacher Jin was even more proud, it was obvious that he knew the answer, but he just wanted to whet everyone's appetite first, but Mu Qing thought for a moment and expressed her guess: "I have a bold guess.

It is very possible that Hitler did not recognize the works of these people on the surface, but he still admired them in his heart. It was probably partly due to political needs.

However, in his heart, he still has the pursuit of being an artist. Although he cannot reach the height of these people, he still retains a trace of his thoughts.

That’s why I put my paintings together with the works of these masters, so that it can be explained perfectly! "

The more Mu Qing analyzed, the clearer her ideas became. When she finally finished speaking, she heard Teacher Jin smile and clap her hands: "Good analysis. That's probably the reason. Xiao Chu, you have found a girlfriend who is beautiful and smart."

Hearing Teacher Jin's praise of Mu Qing, Chu Yunfeng gently reached out to scratch Mu Qing's nose, but she quickly dodged it.

Spreading dog food again. Ma Fu shook his head and said that he had eaten enough in the past few days. Can he get down to business first?

Right?
Yes, so where are the paintings of Hitler?

Teacher Jin began to look a little sad, and said with emotion: "What I said just now is just our guess, if you want to confirm this point, then you need Hitler's paintings.

And the paintings of the masters he ridiculed should also be talented. Once this is proved, it can be regarded as a conclusion for the inheritance of this batch of paintings. "

Antique calligraphy and painting are extremely important in this regard. The value of something that has been inherited in an orderly manner is definitely extraordinary. However, at this time, all the paintings have been taken away, but the works of other painters have not been seen.

But just when everyone couldn't come up with a result from the discussion, Teacher Cai suddenly laughed.

Then his words instantly ignited the scene: "I know where the other paintings are!"
