Inherit For Three Thousand Years

A painting of tens of millions of dollars is dispensable for Xiao Yao. Even if the transfer price of "Thunder" can reach 60 million, he still feels that he has suffered a loss, but he has to eat this loss. The fame and price of the works are hyped up, this process is indispensable.

Since the partner is the Louvre, Xiao Yao feels that changing the transaction method may recover his loss, or even make a fortune.

In top museums like the Louvre, in addition to the top collections that are often on display, there are also many second-rate or third-rate collections that are left in the warehouse, not seeing the sun.

Maybe there is a treasure hidden in these second-rate or third-rate collections. As long as he can find one from it, he may be able to recover the loss.

He had only found the Earth Spirit Orb, the nine spirit orbs that constituted the Holy Soul Realm, and there was no clue for the other 8 Spirit Orbs. There are so many collections in the Louvre, there may be clues to find the Eight Spirit Orbs, or even one of the Eight Spirit Orbs, hidden in any corner.

The Louvre may not pay much attention to the collections shelved, but it will never allow a stranger to visit these stock collections.

This cooperation with the Louvre will be an opportunity to visit these stocks.

With this idea, Xiao Yao said casually: “You should know that I am not short of money. I buy anything more than 60 million US dollars. You use cash to buy my works, which is not attractive to me at all. , It even makes me feel that my work is tainted by money. I don’t want my work to be contaminated with dirty money."

"If you don't use money to trade, then what do you want to trade for?" Abraham showed interest.

Although the Louvre will allocate a sum of money from the proceeds every year, specifically for the purchase of masterpieces by contemporary artists. But this sum of money is countable, and the proportion of 60 million US dollars is really too big. If this transaction does not need to use cash but use other items to exchange it, Abraham's pressure will not be so great.

"I don't like you to trade in cash. This will make me feel that art is tainted. If you use your Louvre collection in exchange, this is your attitude towards art." Xiao Yao said his thoughts.

Abraham's eyes lit up. If he could barter without using the actual 60 million dollars, he would be much more flexible in operation. If you do it well, you might save a lot of money.

After thinking a little bit, Abraham said: “The heavyweight collections in our collection must not be exchanged. This is not in line with our museum’s business philosophy. If Mr. Xiao wants to exchange, he can only choose from those stock collections. ."

"If you do this, I will suffer a lot. What I like is fine products, but I don't like those popular products. How are you going to compensate me?" Xiao Yao took the opportunity to make a request.

The massive inventory of the Louvre is not only a manifestation of its heritage, but also a burden.

These massive inventory collections come from a variety of sources, some are historical legacy, and some are donations from all walks of life.

These ordinary collections are not qualified to be placed in the exhibition hall. They can only be placed in the warehouse to eat ashes, and a lot of manpower and material resources are required to be properly kept.

If these ordinary collections can be exchanged for Xiao Yao's "Thunder", it can save 60 million yuan and reduce part of the inventory. For the Louvre, this exchange method is simply too cost-effective.

"In order to show our sincerity, we can trade the items selected by Mr. Xiao at a low estimate. But I want to reiterate that it is impossible for us to exchange the fine collections of the Louvre." , Abraham can make a decision without asking for instructions.

"Then it's settled. "Thunder" is worth 60 million US dollars, and it is all used to exchange your collections in the Louvre. Any non-premium collections that I like, you can’t keep them, you must exchange them, and these ordinary collections The valuation of the company is carried out in accordance with the low valuation." Xiao Yao reiterated his request again.

"Basically there is no problem. After I go back and report to the headquarters, I should be able to sign the agreement early." Abraham is relatively sure of this type of transaction.

If he can take this opportunity to clear a part of the ordinary treasury, even if the price of "Thunder" is higher, reaching 60 million US dollars, he thinks the headquarters should prefer this exchange method.

Today’s negotiations went smoothly. After Abraham returned to report, he immediately received the support and approval of the headquarters, and Xiao Yao could go to the Louvre at any time to select inventory collections.

Xiao Yao looked forward to the massive inventory of the Louvre, and soon chartered a special plane to fly directly to Paris, accompanied by Lu Jinguang and Abraham.

After arriving in Paris, the management of the Louvre all attended and hosted a grand banquet to entertain Xiao Yao and his party.

At this banquet, in addition to the top management of the Louvre, there were also many French artists who were invited to attend.

During this period of time, Xiao Yao's fame rose, and the Western art circles were very interested in this mysterious Eastern artist. Hearing that Xiao Yao had arrived in Paris, many people came here to meet and communicate with him.

After this reception, Xiao Yao's presidential suite was always disturbed by visitors. For three consecutive days, he was busy communicating with the masters of the French art world.

Through face-to-face communication, Xiao Yao’s profound artistic attainments and distinctive personal style have conquered almost all the artists who came to communicate with him. Even if there are differences in concepts, they are just a few details and do not affect them. Western artists marveled and admired Xiao Yao.

Through face-to-face communication these days, Xiao Yao's reputation in the Western art world has become even stronger. The understanding of him by the art world and critics is no longer limited to his works. His thoughts and speeches and his knowledge of art have left a deep impression on all the artists who met with him.

The Bali Academy of Fine Arts once again handed him an olive branch, hoping that he could accept the appointment of a visiting professor, but very regrettably, Xiao Yao still refused, and even refused the opportunity to speak at the Bali Academy of Fine Arts.

He didn't come here to do artistic exchanges in Paris, but came to the Louvre to select treasures. This was his only purpose.

The Louvre’s inventory collections are too much, it can be said that they are piled up like a mountain. If one is to identify and select one by one, even if he is given three or two years, he will not be able to finish the selection.

Facing the massive inventory collections, he did not hesitate to use his mental power to select them.
