Chapter 546 Paradise Paper Money

It will take a little time to find a professional appraiser who is proficient in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings.

To say that the painting was 100% real, Su Rui didn't dare to guarantee it.

The main reason is that the real and fake in the collectibles circle are too deep, which is different from business investment where the rise will rise and the fall will fall.

Some of Leonardo da Vinci's works preserved in several museums are actually controversial.

Maybe someone in his previous life created the "Savior" farce specifically to launder a large amount of money, and indirectly tricked him. There is indeed a certain probability of this situation.

After all, so much time has passed.

Most of Leonardo da Vinci's works have disappeared in the long river of history, or were destroyed in wars, or were damaged due to poor storage. The number of authentic works for reference is limited. No expert dares to say that he is absolutely authoritative. He can only try to identify them through some scientific and technological means. .

Even if the canvas, paints, techniques, etc., all the evidence matches up, it still cannot prove that it was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Maybe the painting "Salvator Mundi" is actually the work of one of his students.

But as long as Leonardo da Vinci picked up the pen back then, even if he only painted one stroke on the oil painting "Salvator Mundi", it would be considered his work from a certain point of view, and Suri would not suffer any loss from this omission.

Anyway, he didn’t lack this little money, and he never thought about selling the painting. It was okay for him to be happy. He had calmed down and was mentally prepared to face doubts in advance.

After coming to the set of "The Hunger Games".

Due to the existence of some protected California giant sequoias within the farm, this beautiful farm covering an area of ​​423 acres and just renamed "Maze Farm" attracts a group of tourists every year.

"It's more comfortable here than I imagined. It's a pity that the lavender fields haven't bloomed yet, otherwise it would be more beautiful."

Among them is a field of pink grass and flowers, which is designed to attract tourists to check in and take photos. It is suitable for occasional vacations.

Similar to Lanai, Maze Farm’s revenue mainly relies on tourism.

He unscrewed the lid of the cup and took a sip of tea. He held the double-layered teacup in his hand and walked around the house like an old man.

He said to Hoshino Yuko:

It is not easy to avoid taxes on this part of the income. It is better to spend it to deduct some taxes. Later, we asked a company to help with renovations. We built wooden houses and villas out of logs, reclaimed land to create flower fields, and mainly planted lavender, tulips, and roses, which can bring in income. flowers.

Growing up in a Japanese-American family in Hawaii, Hoshino Yuko's thoughts were not that conservative. Even if she occasionally vaguely noticed something was wrong, she never chose to delve deeper.

There is an agricultural product market and animal experience area inside, where visitors can pick pumpkins, tomatoes, grapes, avocados, etc., while watching sheep, alpacas, chickens, dwarf goats and other small animals.

After staying in a luxurious vacation cabin that smelled of wood, Suri hadn't had time to say hello to Nicolas Cage, the director and producer of "The Hunger Games".

Hoshino Yuko has become more and more Buddhist recently. Whether it is fame or fortune, she has already obtained it.

Although the man in front of him is not so worry-free, because he is Suri, he seems to be able to easily choose to forgive many times.

If you enter a small agricultural product market, you can also buy agricultural products such as honey, nuts, juice, fresh eggs, and fresh-cut flowers.

The reason that drove Suri to spend more than 1500 million US dollars to buy this place last year was mainly to get personal salary from Netflix Entertainment, as well as some dividends.

Su Rui and his party live directly in the small farm they purchased last year. The large Tai Chi-shaped maze is also located on this farm.

While living in Beverly Hills, people would come to his door from time to time, and crazy fans would come to harass him, which occasionally made him feel irritated.

Looking for a chair by the window and sitting down, the girl replied:

"The progress of "The Hunger Games" is a bit slow. There are too many scenes that need to be prepared. The shooting should not be completed until June. By then, your lavender field should have bloomed."

The phone vibrated suddenly. While reading the email, Su Rui said: "Slow work will bring out fine work. I am more optimistic about this movie. Even if you are slow, can it be slower than "Bad Thief"?"

"Hey, look at the sample picture that Netflix Entertainment sent me. They actually want to sell Paradise Note peripheral products, and the set actually comes with a brazier and matches."

“I even thought about the advertising slogan, which is called Let Our Ancestors Win at the Starting Line.”

Hoshino Yuko couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw the coin that was designed to look like a U.S. dollar bill.

This thing is the ghost coin. Originally, Europe and the United States called it "ancestor money". They wanted to obtain the blessings of their ancestors by giving money.

However, not all the dead are ancestors of the living.

After a group of YouTube celebrities’ “science popularization” and improvements, “ancestor money” has been nicknamed “Paradise Notes”.

Even though Suri never publicizes it, more and more people are imitating this practice.

Seeing that they cannot ban it, many cemeteries have even started to launch a new business recently, allowing people to publicly burn heavenly notes in front of tombstones after paying a "management fee."

Many people think that if others are burning, but they are not burning, then their deceased relatives will live a miserable and poor life.

One to two to go.

The number of people imitating this practice continues to increase. Recently, there have been checks from the "Bank of Paradise" with random amounts, as well as "100 million ounces of gold", "100 million U.S. dollar bills", etc.

This ritual is more popular among the poor than among the rich, mainly because they cannot enjoy it while alive and hope to become rich after death.

If this trend continues, Suri will not be surprised if a single Hades coin with a denomination of "ten trillion US dollars" appears in the future.

He continued:

"This trend seems to have been started by me. If I speak out publicly, I may be able to unify the paradise paper currency market, just like the Federal Reserve."

Hoshino Yuko asked: "It's very interesting, why don't you try it?"

"The main reason is that I'm worried about offending some people unintentionally. After all, those who believe in this are the minority, and those who don't believe in it make up the majority. In addition, there are also some lunatics with extreme ideas, and I don't want to provoke them."

Suri had long made up his mind not to take advantage of this matter, so he rejected the plan to issue peripheral products of Paradise Banknotes.

If it were in China, he would definitely feel it wouldn't matter.

However, in Europe and the United States, most people have at least one belief, and this is not something to be joked about casually.

Some time ago, Suri was already hostile to some people because of the God of Wealth, and he successfully taught him a lesson.

After careful consideration later, I felt that even if I want to promote Chinese culture in reverse, I should choose some non-controversial things, such as dragons, phoenixes, and many traditional festivals.

After replying to the email.

Suri first wandered around the maze farm and personally experienced the extremely difficult Bagua maze.

Because "The Hunger Games" hasn't been released yet, this maze is temporarily closed to tourists. He walked in for more than an hour and still couldn't find the correct exit.

I can only say that the money spent on building the maze was not in vain, and it truly fulfilled the requirement of "the harder the better"
