Chapter 548 At first glance, it really looks like Da Vinci

Stay at Maze Farm for two days.

After learning that Suri was coming, many tourists came to watch and picked all the strawberries in the strawberry garden.

It happened that the crew of "The Hunger Games" needed a lot of extras, and many tourists voluntarily paid to make a cameo, which only cost 10 US dollars per person.

Because of this incident, Suri was successfully searched again.

Some media called him "Hollywood's most cost-saving film company boss", which happened to help promote the movie.

Taking a helicopter from Maze Farm back to Los Angeles, Suri felt uneasy all the way.

Sure enough, he agreed with the saying that the richer he is, the more he fears death. Now that his life is too comfortable, he is more or less worried about an accident and ending up like Kobe Bryant, the Black Mamba.

In 2007 and 2008, when he fell ill, he was already pessimistic about life and death.

Nowadays, I prefer to ride in bulletproof cars when I go out. I recently placed an order for a new extended bulletproof version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom with two colors. The purchase price is about US$300 million, and it is estimated that it will not be delivered until next year.

Shortly after returning home and taking a rest, Suri's cell phone suddenly vibrated while checking out the "Savior of the World" oil painting that he had purchased at a super low price.

"It says the sales start at US$6000 million, but according to my experience in buying a Gulfstream aircraft, subsequent modifications and modifications will cost a lot of money. It is similar to buying a Porsche. It is estimated that it will cost US$6500 million to buy it."

As Su Rui, there was no need to receive him in person.

Jiang Jiaya took a closer look and asked:

"How much does it cost? You just ordered a superyacht. The number of trips you make every year is not as many as many wage earners flying around the world. What's the use of buying a new aircraft?"

Su Rui looked at her sideways and said mockingly: "I see you never remember my favor, you only care about remembering my lover."

Jiang Jiaya said sadly:

The private jet is not used that often. Suri just rarely encounters a place where he wants to spend money, so he is a little excited.

"It's not necessarily, but it's definitely that no one will pick it up. Who would hang this tattered picture at home?"

Return your gaze to the oil painting in front of you.

After staring at it for a while, he continued: "To be fair, I feel like if you leave it on the roadside, no one will pick it up."

He said to Jiang Jiaya:

"Hey, Gulfstream Aerospace has released a new business jet called the G650. The space, appearance, and performance have all been upgraded."

Suri spread her hands and added:

"I just think that if I sell my current second-hand aircraft and add some money, I can replace it with a new model. When the G700 or G750 comes out, my current old model will lose its value."

"Don't think so. Enjoying the experience brought by new products also has intangible value."

"If you really think the money is too much, you can give it to me. At least I will praise you a few words and remember your favor. Do you know that you spent hundreds of thousands more to find experts who are proficient in Da Vinci's oil paintings? US dollars, part of which is reimbursement for their travel and accommodation expenses, and part of which is remuneration for those experts.”

That afternoon.

".Believe it or not, I will bite you to death?"

At around 2 o'clock, the old housekeeper arranged for vehicles to pick up several appraisers who had rushed from all over the world and were staying at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills to Suri's home.

The conversation was in Chinese.

Jiang Jiaya was speechless for a moment and said with a headache:

"I see you are a G250. Who would consider whether to preserve the value of a private jet? It is obviously not cost-effective to spend more money in order to save a little money."

What if after all the arrangements were made with great fanfare, it turns out that something went wrong and I actually bought a piece of junk and it would be embarrassing to spread the word.

The location of the appraisal was arranged in his private tea room, while Suri stayed in the study and quietly used the computer to check the surveillance footage.

Several experts who studied Da Vinci's oil paintings were invariably attracted to a huanghuali shelf, which was housed in bulletproof glass and had several pieces of porcelain placed on it. The old housekeeper helped introduce them, saying that they were Suri's collection.

Among them, the Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze tea cup that he used to drink tea is placed in the middle of the museum shelf.

Surrounding them are the Ming and Xuande blue and white dragon-patterned large jars, the Yuan blue and white dragon-patterned large jars, the Qing Yongzheng imperial rouge red enamel jade pot spring vase with beaded cloud and dragon patterns, the Qing Yongzheng underglaze red cloud sea and soaring dragon pattern celestial vase, and the Qing Qianlong doucai. Canglong Jiaozi Tu Kui Dragon Ear Holding the Moon vase, Qianlong Qing Dynasty's large yellow ground blue and white dragon pattern celestial vase.

There are still a lot of empty spaces around, and I haven't bought anything I like yet.

This ancient rack has been in the tea room for a long time.

It was originally used to display some trophies and certificates, but later those things were packed away in the study room, leaving the wooden shelves empty.

Suri felt uncomfortable looking at it, and then in just two weeks, he quickly collected these bottles and jars with dragon patterns, and there were still three items missing to fill them up.

Once you collect 9 pieces of dragon-patterned porcelain, you can take a photo and hang it online. It may not matter to the European and American people, but it shouldn't be a big problem if it becomes popular all over the mainland.

In Su Rui's eyes, the intangible value brought by this wave of publicity alone has exceeded the total cost of purchasing these antiques.

Several experts knew that these porcelains should be quite valuable. To ask how much they were worth was tantamount to flirting with a blind man, and no one could tell.

now.

Jiang Jiaya solemnly walked into the tea room carrying a box and said straight to the point like she had rehearsed in advance:

"An art consultant of my boss sold this oil painting, which was suspected to be an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, to my boss at a high price."

Through the surveillance footage, Su Rui could see that Jiang Jiaya was having a hard time holding it in and felt that her acting skills needed to be improved.

She paused for a moment before continuing:

"You are all authorities in this field. My boss wants to know whether it is real. There is no need to give the results now. It is best to do more appraisals."

After saying this, Jiang Jiaya added in her heart, "It's all in vain anyway."

Because she didn't believe at all that Su Rui had any damn artist intuition. She just felt that this guy's luck couldn't be so good that he could find an authentic Leonardo da Vinci at a low price just by browsing on eBay.

but.

The day before yesterday, the old housekeeper had already taken a picture of this painting and sent it to his friend.

The feedback I got was that you have to wait and see it with your own eyes before you can get the accurate result. From the analysis of composition and painting style, it does have a bit of Leonardo da Vinci's shadow.

Thinking of Suri's wealth fortune since he was a child, and claiming to be the "son of the God of Wealth", Jiang Jiaya felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to say it completely.

When the suitcase is opened.

The experts, who were intrigued, all came closer to observe.

If it were anyone else, they would almost vouch for it, believing that ordinary people would not be able to own the original Leonardo da Vinci. However, the person who asked them to help identify it today was Suri, who ranked very high on the rich list.

The experts subconsciously felt that the tattered oil painting in the box was not that simple.

With this preconceived idea, I observed more carefully.

This old painting, which has not yet been restored, actually has more flavor than before it was restored.

The faces are anatomically precise, emitting a soft light, sacred and quiet, and the figures are delicate and handsome, very much in line with Leonardo da Vinci's favorite painting of androgynous models with long flowing hair.

At first glance, it really looks like Leonardo da Vinci.

The invited experts already felt that this might indeed be a work of Leonardo da Vinci based on their first glance.
