Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Chapter 253: Picking up leaks in the Louvre's warehouse

There are 6 warehouses in the Louvre for storing collections, and the first warehouse Xiao Yao visited is a warehouse for storing miscellaneous collections.

This warehouse is very large, about 2000 square meters.

Those collections with higher prices are placed on shelves, and many ordinary collections with lower prices are even randomly stacked on chopping boards.

Seeing the many collections stacked randomly in this warehouse, Xiao Yao made his decision not to donate cultural relics to the museum even more firm.

So many people in society donated their private collections to the museum. If those people see this scene in front of them, they might regret it.

The collections of cultural relics in top museums can be hundreds of thousands, millions of pieces. Those fine collections need to be exhibited in rotation, so they can naturally be properly kept. But those relatively ordinary collections have no chance to be exhibited at all, and can only be shelved and stored in dark warehouses.

Because there are too many cultural relics, those ordinary antique cultural relics cannot even be properly maintained and kept.

These ordinary cultural relics are not worth mentioning to the top museums. Instead of storing them in the warehouse, it is really better to keep them in the hands of collectors.

These not worth mentioning antique cultural relics, if left in the hands of ordinary people, they are rare treasures, and they can certainly be carefully and properly kept.

Feeling a little bit emotional, Xiao Yao began to release his mental power to select the most valuable collection.

After a dozen steps forward, he picked out a valuable collection.

The collection he selected is an antique violin more than 100 years ago. The value of this violin itself is not high, at most 100,000 US dollars.

But his mental power found a wooden box inside the violin, in which three diamond jewelry and one red sapphire were stored.

The cheapest colorless and transparent round necklace pendant among the three diamond jewelry has a market price of about 8 million U.S. dollars. The price of a blue diamond ring should be about 10 million U.S. dollars. The pink diamond brooch is the most expensive. The market price is above 20 million US dollars.

The price of the two red sapphires is also not low, the price of the cornflower sapphire necklace is about 10 million US dollars, and the price of the ruby ​​bracelet is about 15 million US dollars.

The price of these 5 pieces of jewellery alone is already over US$60 million, and he can spend up to US$100,000 to take these 5 pieces of jewellery as his own.

This is simply picking up money!

His decision to barter this time is definitely going to make a profit.

Others pick up leaks in the trading market, but he picks up leaks in the Louvre warehouse. At this moment, he feels very fulfilled.

If the management of the Louvre knew that there was a fortune of more than $60 million hidden in this violin, would it be regrettable to vomit blood?

It's a pity that this is only a special case, and there is only one violin in the entire storeroom that has a fortune hidden in it.

He selected a total of more than 20 cultural relics in this warehouse. These cultural relics are quite mixed, including musical instruments, lamps, ancient coins, clocks and so on.

Except for the first violin, which has a different world, the other cultural relics are treasures whose prices are seriously underestimated.

According to the information provided next to these cultural relics, the value of these more than 20 cultural relics is at most more than 3 million U.S. dollars. But even if the price of the precious jewelry hidden in the violin is removed, the minimum price of these more than 20 underestimated cultural relics is also above 40 million US dollars.

After selecting the first warehouse, Xiao Yao received nearly 100 million U.S. dollars worth of cultural relics, and he was naturally very happy.

The second warehouse he visited was a warehouse dedicated to storing sculptures and bronzes.

In this warehouse, Xiao Yao's gains are equally huge.

This time, he found another stone Buddha statue with a different universe inside.

This stone Buddha statue should come from China, and the Buddha statue itself should be the work of a master sculptor. The price of the stone Buddha statue should be around US$300,000.

Of course, the stone Buddha statue itself is not the point, the focus is on the two Chinese paintings stored inside the stone Buddha statue.

After Xiao Yao used his mental power to explore, he quickly ascertained the origins of these two Chinese paintings.

One of them turned out to be Yan Liben's "Wei Zhengjin Admonish Picture"!

Although this painting is recorded in the "Xuanhe Painting Book", it has long been submerged in history, and it was unexpectedly hidden in this stone Buddha statue.

One of Yan Liben's most well-known works should be the "Fujiantu", but the "Fujiantu" handed down to this day is only a copy of the Song Dynasty, not the original work of Yan Liben.

If Xiao Yao showed this "Wei Zhengjin Admonition Picture" publicly, it would surely cause a huge sensation in China.

This authentic work of Yan Liben is definitely a well-deserved top national treasure. If it is publicly auctioned, the price will be at least 1 billion yuan.

Even if Xiao Yao's "Thunder" is used to exchange this painting, it is definitely a big profit from the current point of view.

The other painting is "Ink Bamboo" by Liu Mengsong in the Song Dynasty.

Liu Mengsong uses ink and wash to make flowers and birds, especially fine ink and bamboo. The color is divided between light and dark. Although there is nothing to add to the painting, it is a style of its own.

Although this "Ink Bamboo Picture" cannot be compared with Yan Liben's "Wei Zhengjin Admonishment Picture", it is also a rare national treasure painting. If it were to be auctioned, the transaction price would have to be at least 400 million yuan or more.

I bought two national treasure paintings again. With this stone statue of Buddha, the income of the second warehouse far exceeds that of the first warehouse.

He selected three more sculptures in this warehouse. These three sculptures were all works of famous artists. During the appraisal, they were all treated as imitations for later generations, so they were placed in the warehouse to eat ashes.

Although the Louvre has no shortage of top appraisal masters, there are too many collections here, and the time span is too large, and individual appraisal errors are inevitable.

Although the items selected in the second warehouse are few, the price is three or four times the price of all the items selected in the first warehouse.

The three sculptures he selected are all handed down by famous artists, and the total price is about 200 million US dollars.

Coupled with the price of the two paintings in the stone Buddha statue, the total price is about 430 million US dollars.

After obtaining so many extremely precious antique works of art one after another, Xiao Yao was almost numb.

Although he was very happy to get so many national treasures of antique works of art, he never found one of the things he wanted most.

What he wanted most was to search for the clues of the Nine Spirit Orbs, and even the Nine Spirit Orbs. The magical treasures, strange objects, or various secret methods handed down from ancient times were what he wanted most.

If he could obtain an ancient treasure similar to the Rejuvenation Order of All Things, then these mundane objects he obtained would not be worth mentioning.
