The Book of Appreciation

After wiping his face vigorously, Wu Di decided to put aside the old man's foolishness for the time being, and put on his pajamas. .Because of the existence of the Heavenly Book, he has a huge advantage over many domestic appraisers in identifying European artworks, but this does not mean that he can run rampant in this land.

One is because most of the valuable artworks in Europe were created after the Renaissance, which is relatively recent and relatively easy to identify.The second is that he can only see the oil paintings of some famous artists. This kind of things are of high value, and there are many people who pay attention to them. The number of people circulating is very small.Moreover, the most important thing is that Europe also has its own appraisal masters, and they will continue to collect these works of art in the market.Compared with these local snakes, he who only comes here once in a while really doesn't have much advantage. If there is no treasure-gathering function that is not sure whether it exists in Tianshu, let alone picking up so many pieces at a time, he can pick up one or two pieces. It's time to burn the incense!

After wandering around the room boredly for a while, Wu Di opened the closet, glanced at the few remaining collections, and took out the Indian Ganesha with a thought.

This colorful woodcarving of the elephant head is a very common modern artwork, but the paper ball in the base has covered it with a mysterious coat, and now it is time to take off the coat.

When the military division sent Daniel back to the hotel, Wu Di was struggling to pry the Ganesha base with a fruit knife.However, the blade is too thick, and the plug on the base is not thin, so he has been tossing for a long time, but has not made any substantial progress.

"It's just in time for you to come back. Come and help me take a look. This Indian Ah San's thing is really strong, and I can't pry it off for a long time."

Pry it off?The military adviser took the wood carving in doubt, and immediately understood Wu Di's actions just now, and he couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise. Isn't this thing painted with a thick layer of paint?Fifth Brother, how did he see it?

"How is it? Is there any way? I guess the cork is very thick. If it doesn't work, I'll buy a small saw tomorrow."

The military commander shook his head,

"It shouldn't be necessary, let me try first."

The military master put the woodcarving down on the desk, and folded his right hands together. A thin scalpel-like handleless knife quietly appeared between his two fingers. He looked carefully again, raised the knife and moved along the base. The traces around the upper cork were scratched down.

After 5 minutes, the cork was pulled out, and the army division pointed out a knife, picked out a white ball of paper and handed it to Wu Di.

There are a total of six English letters on the ball of paper, both uppercase and lowercase, and are divided into two parts by a decimal point.There are four numbers behind the letters, which are also divided into two paragraphs by a small dash.

"Is this supposed to be an address?"

Wu Di handed the note to the military adviser. The letters on it were exactly the same as the abbreviations of the foreigners' place names, but there seemed to be no city names.If it's really just a certain street in a certain city in a certain country, then it's ridiculous. How powerful must the person holding this thing be to know where it is in the world? !

The military division took a look at it, nodded,

"It's true that there is no city name, but it's not necessarily difficult to find. It doesn't matter if we don't know it, as long as someone on the Internet knows it. I will check it later. If it is famous, maybe I can search it directly. It doesn't matter if I can't find it. In the forum If you post it, you may find the answer."

The military division tossed about for 3 minutes, and suddenly slapped his thigh,

"I almost forgot, German seems to be able to write like that..."

German?Wu Di remembered the treasure map in the gold Rolex watch. Could it be that this address is also a treasure place?

Watching the military master tossing about on the computer, Wu Di picked up a book introducing European artists and read it.Although he thought that what Yue Ge described was basically impossible to achieve, but he worked hard and made some small-scale exchanges should still be possible.But before that, you must first get to know the artists they have. Don't let Tianshu recognize them, but he misses them because he hasn't heard of them, or pays the wrong price, then he will lose a lot.

"Fifth brother, there is news! Some people say that this is an old street in the suburbs of Munich, Germany, with a history of more than 100 years."

"Oh? It should be very famous for being able to find it so quickly. Someday, find some time to go there and see what is so mysterious about that place!"

The next morning, just as Wu Di walked out of the room, he saw Yue Ge walking over with a smile on his face.

"The business is coming, prepare to sharpen your knife."

"What's the deal?"

Yan Ju also came out of the room when he heard the noise.

"Hehe, Baron Augustus, honorary professor of the Royal Academy, lifetime honorary curator of the British Museum, chief expert of the Society for Shakespeare Studies, how is it? Do you have any ideas?"

Wu Di looked at the old man who was smiling all over his face, and said hesitantly:

"You mean me to sell the manuscript to this man?"

"It's not a sale, it's an exchange! Exchange the precious Chinese cultural relics in his hands! Pierre called me in the middle of the night yesterday, and the results of the appraisal have come out. The authenticity, the person who appraised it is this Augustus! Xiao Wu, this time We need to sharpen our knives."

Wu Di helplessly shook his head,

"Old man, I haven't made up my mind yet, whether to go that way or not!"

"Hehe, Xiao Wu, I'm afraid we can't do this. You have to know that there is no express regulation in Europe that prohibits the export of first-class cultural relics, but it is by no means easy for treasures of this level to leave the country. If the manuscript is still in Spain, it probably wouldn't be a question of whether to change it."

Yan Ju rolled his eyes,

"What? Don't they dare to say that they can't grab it?"

"If you don't know how to rob, you will know our policy. It is not easy to detain the manuscript first, and then find the loopholes in the transaction? As long as the transaction is declared invalid, we will have nothing to do with it. But the situation is different now, The initiative is in our hands.”

Wu Di nodded,

"That is to say, it is up to me to decide whether to change it now?"

Yue Ge smiled bitterly and said:

"Yes, logically, you should have the final say. But when it comes to something as precious as a manuscript, if you don't change it, you will be under a lot of pressure."

Wu Di smiled and said:

"I'm so afraid of the pressure! Forget it, since they want to change it, let's change it. Anyway, there are a bunch of ghost symbols that you can't understand, and you can keep them at home! But, old man, if they can't open them If the conditions satisfy me, then don’t blame me.”

"Hehe, don't worry, if you read the collection of this old guy Augustus, keep your mouth watering. Now let's see how hard our knives can be! Do you know that Augustus is very obsessed with Shakespeare, Ten years ago, for a Shakespeare note, he was willingly slaughtered for more than 200 million pounds! What was the concept of more than 200 million pounds more than ten years ago? It was just a note!"

Wu Di's heart moved, just right, isn't he short of money now?Otherwise, just sell the manuscript to this old man.

"Sell? I think you're out of your mind! Do you know who his grandfather is? Do you know who was the deputy commander of the British army during the Opium War? You know, the one who first broke into the Old Summer Palace Who led that army?"

Wu Di gasped,

"No way?"

Yue Ge nodded bitterly, and was about to speak when Wu Di hugged him.

"Come on, old man, let's study in the room and see what good things we can get from this old guy..."

Yue Ge asked the military division to bring the notebook from his room, opened a folder,

"Xiao Wu, come here. These are some materials we have collected over the years. The ones in black font are confirmed to be in his hands, and the ones in yellow fonts are suspected to be in his hands. Take a look at it yourself first."

"Shang Dynasty ivory cup inlaid with turquoise! ​​Tang Dynasty gilt dancing horse title cup pattern leather pouch style silver pot! Warring States period white jade inlaid with agate and mixed with gold and silver double ear statues! Nine dragons and nine phoenix crowns... Oh my god, I'm sorry if I don't snatch this old boy Sorry country!"

Yue Ge said angrily:

"Huh, just like that, some people say they want to sell the manuscripts for money! You have money, can you buy these things if you have money? Pick any of these and take them back, they are all first-class cultural relics!"

Yan Ju looked at Wu Di who couldn't take his eyes off, and then looked at Yue Ge who was blowing his beard and staring at his eyes. The old man gently pulled him aside, helped him to sit on the sofa, and whispered:

"Grandpa, you've been fooled! If Xiaowu didn't intend to exchange the manuscripts, why not just send all the manuscripts back to the country? Why keep one? When he heard that the police were going to appraise it, he pretended to be a good citizen... "

Yue Ge's eyes widened suddenly, and suddenly he stood up from the sofa, took two steps towards Wu Di, and suddenly turned his hand back to Li Yanju, and said with a smile:

"I understand now, you two don't have a good thing!"

"Who says there are no good things? Old man, there are so many good things here! I'm stuck, this is the white plate of Guo Jizi from the Western Zhou Dynasty? It's unreasonable, he can have such things!"

Yue Ge looked at Yan Ju who ran past Pidianpidian, nodded with a serious expression,

"That piece was confirmed just now, but whether it is a pair with the one from the History Museum needs further confirmation, Xiao Wu, this time it's all up to you!"

Wu Di wiped his saliva, nodded vigorously,

"***, I'm really sorry for my conscience for not taking advantage this time, old man, the three of us will do a good job of calculating together to see what we can get back from that old guy... Sigh, is your news accurate? Isn’t it accurate? If he doesn’t get on the pole and chase us to change it, when we come to the door, the broken manuscript will be worthless!”

Yue Ge chuckled, his expression and movements suddenly became very obscene,

"Do you know how these materials were obtained? We have an insider! Hehe, after I found out it was this old guy last night, I didn't sleep much all night, and I was thinking about sharpening knives! Look, this one, and this one What do you think of this combination, plus this one..." (To be continued.)
