The next morning, Rogov first called François, and then took Monet's "Sunset" to the warehouse they had been to last time. There, François had invited two appraisers, waiting to identify the "Sunset" they were in.

As soon as he saw Li Yi, François was obviously much more enthusiastic than last time. However, after listening to Li Yi's introduction, the guy's enthusiasm shifted to Tan Moxuan again. Because Li Yi told him that the owner of the "Sunset" was Tan Moxuan. This time, he was just an appraiser who came to help.

Compared to the qualifications of Li Yi, the appraiser, François invited much more seniors, but even so, it is not easy to determine whether this "Sunset" is the original work of Cezanne.

"Mr. Francois, why don't you check it out here first, and I'll check out your collection?"

When Tan Moxuan saw that the two appraisers were carefully observing, sampling, and comparing, they were very happy, so he suggested that they be busy with their own.

"No problem, no problem, please come here."

François never expected that a bronze man who acupuncture could lead to a famous work by Cezanne. The teeth that had been enjoying a long time ago came out. He wished he could finish the appraisal immediately and the deal could be completed immediately. How could he reject Tan Moxuan's legitimate request?

He knew very well that not to mention that he priced acupuncture copper man with a price of 100 million US dollars, even if it was priced at 50 million, it would be difficult to sell. Because the circulation of unpopular cultural relics in China is really poor!

Although the wealthy people from China have repeatedly offered sky-high prices at auctions in recent years, they seem to have no love for their own cultural relics, and they are always staring at those well-known oil paintings. This time they finally met two suckers, how could they easily offend them?

François personally led Li Yi and the others to the treasure room located underground, leaving a guy to monitor and serve, while he couldn't wait to return to the ground and carefully watched the two experts identify it.

The Chinese cultural relics collected by François accounted for two rooms, with a total of about 1,500 pieces. Last time, Li Yi had only had time to see a small part of them, and this time he came here to make up for the rest.

Unlike in the past, his purpose this time is very clear, that is, he requires systematicity. Before, whether he picks up bargains, exchanges, or purchases, the more valuable the cultural relics, the better the rarer the better. But now that he is going to build a museum, his goal has changed, and he wants to try his best to complete the series.

Take porcelain as an example. The famous porcelains that have attracted more attention in all dynasties, but were they only produced in that dynasty? This is obviously impossible.

Take the Kangxi Dynasty as an example. In addition to the more precious Langyao red and cowpea red, there are more than a dozen types of colored glazes, including Jihong, Sky Blue glaze, Sprinkled Blue, Ji blue, Green glaze, White glaze, Green glaze, Purple Gold glaze, and ancient bronze glaze.

Among the underglaze colored porcelain, in addition to the more precious blue and white and underglaze red, there are also various underglaze colored porcelains such as blue and white underglaze red, and bean green ground blue and white, bean green ground underglaze red, sprinkled blue ground underglaze red, green ground blue and white and other various underglaze colored porcelains.

There are also five-color, Doucai, Pu Sancai, enamel, pastel and other overglaze porcelains, which are 30 or 40.

Each type of porcelain has common patterns such as plates, bowls, plates, bottles, jars, and trunks, while each pattern has common patterns such as dragon patterns, animal patterns, plant patterns, and character patterns.

In other words, even if it is just a representative porcelain of different year names, it is probably as many as hundreds or thousands of pieces. If this is expanded to the entire Chinese dynasty, it will be an astronomical number.

In Li Yi's understanding, the reason why museums can be called "Big" is to work hard on these aspects.

Of course, he did not expect that he would collect all kinds of porcelain produced by an emperor one day, but he believed that since he wanted to build a museum, he should at least work in this direction. If the patterns are not collected intact, then collect the type of instrument. If the shapes are not collected intact, then collect the type of instrument. If the shapes are not collected intact, then collect the type of porcelain. If the emperor is not collected intact, then try to use other emperors of this dynasty to make up for it.

So this time he came out, he shifted his focus to this direction. However, in this way, the things he had never looked down upon in the past became more important.

Tan Moxuan didn't know Li Yi's ambition. When he saw Li Yi just wandering around the room for a while, he picked out dozens of cultural relics of various categories, and was shocked. What does this mean? Originally, exchanging acupuncture bronze man, tiger skull, and pure magic guns with a picture "Sunset" was already a very difficult task. Now that I add these, it is almost impossible to complete!

"It doesn't matter. If you can change these, you can buy them if you can't. Anyway, just find a way to help me get them all back!"

Tan Moxuan is not a fool. On the contrary, through the past few days of exchanges, although Li Yi has not clarified his ideas on building the museum, he has already made a rough judgment.

He circled around the things that Li Yi selected twice, combined with the memories of Li Yi in his mind and his understanding of the museum, he immediately understood what Li Yi meant and asked:

"Are you asking for the full picture?"

"Well, when I used to collect it, I only focused on those treasures. Now I can't think so when I build a museum. I can collect as much as I can. Moreover, these things are not expensive. These dozens of pieces may not be as valuable as a pure sharp gun, but they can support a museum. Why not do it?"

"Okay, then we will follow this idea in the future! It is desirable to think about it. If the Qing Dynasty Hall, Ming Dynasty Hall, Yuan Dynasty Hall, and Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong under the Qing Dynasty Hall, each of them can be exhibited independently, and then expanded to calligraphy, painting, jewelry, jade, miscellaneous items... Tsk tsk, it would be unreasonable for such a museum to be popular!"

"Haha, these can only be thought about. Even the Palace Museum is difficult to achieve... But this is also a direction of effort. I want to see if it is possible to collect even the smallest branch in my lifetime..."

"It must be possible. There are tens of millions of cultural relics lost overseas. What kind of thing is not there? In the past, others didn't take it out because we didn't have things they were interested in. When our museum is built, you just need to open a Western hall and put out all the things in your hands. I guess others will come to us to exchange them in the future. Haha, then I will be the real master!"

Li Yi smiled and didn't say anything, but Tan Moxuan's words did go to his heart. He was really planning to build a Western Hall, which didn't need to be too big, but the security measures must be higher than the highest level. At that time, put the things in his hands inside, and I dare not say anything else. With the two items "Mona Lisa" and "The Imperial Imperial of the Posthumous Title of Master Zhizheng", France and Japan will definitely be crazy. At that time, it was really his turn to be the master.

"Okay, I've seen it almost all here. I'll go and see other collections. You two can estimate the price of these things at a rough price, and then think about what to discuss later."

"Hey, no, right? You should estimate these things? We can't recognize them!"

Li Yi looked at Luo Guofu, who was sticking his butt and trying to identify these collections. He raised his chin and said softly:

"How can we count our valuation? We just need to see the weight of these things in the eyes of foreigners and others, so we won't suffer any losses when we talk later. Anyway, you can grasp it, the total price of these things should not exceed 5 million soft sister coins."

Tan Moxuan nodded and understood. It was like Luo Guofu, who used so many treasures to exchange for a "Water Lily" and thought it was profitable. They really couldn't replace others with their own eyes, especially that other people were still a foreigner who would never understand the true essence of Chinese cultural relics.

The warehouse of Francois is very large. In addition to the two rooms of Chinese cultural relics, there are three full rooms of Western cultural relics.

One of these three rooms is filled with various oil paintings, the other is filled with various gold and silverware, and the other is filled with some mixed things. Li Yi estimated that the total number should be around 5,000 pieces. I don’t know how many generations the family has accumulated to get so many good things.

The first thing Li Yi saw was a room full of oil paintings. In this room, there are not only oil paintings on canvas, but also oil paintings on wooden boards, prints, watercolor paintings, sketches, etc. If you only look at the new and old aspects of the works, they should be modern or modern works. But as oil paintings, these modern and modern works are the ones that have real artistic value and may be traded, so they cannot be underestimated.

For Chinese cultural relics, even if Li Yi does not rely on the spirit-recognizing cards, he can basically quickly identify eight or nine. But if he changes to these Western works, he can't do it. He can only turn on the spirit-recognizing cards all the time, and he can't even touch them one by one in Panjiayuan like he did when he just got the spirit-recognizing cards. He also has to control his speed and judge the value of these things based on the content of the cool air in each work.

Although the history of Western oil painting is far less than that of Chinese ink paintings, their painters are as vast as the sea. Except for a few particularly well-known ones, they almost don’t know anything else. They can’t judge their value without relying on the cool air. If they don’t do it well, they will miss those real good things. (To be continued.)
