Chapter 467 Let You Slap Your Face

After eating a piece of dessert and coffee, Li Changheng said to Jack Chen in Cantonese.

"Since you were able to find it from a primitive tribe in Africa and successfully stole the knight sword, you should be familiar with Africa?"

"Wait, wait, my lord."

Jack Chen explained with some embarrassment, "That sword didn't belong to that tribe in the first place, so how could it be said that it was stolen?"

All treasure hunters will never admit that there is a problem with the source of the things they found, otherwise the auction house will definitely not and dare not put it up for auction.

Li Changheng didn't argue with Jack Chen about it either.

He took out the god statue that he had drawn from memory, and put the picture of the bronze god statue of the Celestial Dynasty together in front of him.

"When I was researching African history and culture, I found a hand-painted statue of a god in some materials in England, which was actually somewhat similar to a bronze statue of a Chinese god.

So I have always wondered if there is any connection between that tribe in Africa and the Celestial Dynasty.

Since I met you, an expert who is familiar with Africa, I would like to know if you have seen this kind of statue. "

Jack Chen was a little embarrassed when he heard the word "expert".

Fighting, drag racing, and adventure can indeed be regarded as experts, but in terms of culture and history, they are not even elementary school students.

However, if you go to Africa to find this tribe, it depends on how much the reward is.

Li Changheng smiled when he heard his cryptic quotation.

I'm not afraid of your quotation, but I'm afraid that you just sold an ancient sword with an auction price of 1.4 million pounds and you want to retire immediately.

In the end, the two reached a verbal agreement of 50,000 pounds.

Moreover, probably because Li Changheng is too famous, and Annie is nearby, Big Nose didn't mention paying half of it first.

Chatting and chatting, I heard that Li Changheng likes kung fu, so he kept instilling his understanding of fighting to him with a smile.

Zhang Tianzhi, who was listening, rolled his eyes several times in succession.

This method of paying attention to hands, eyes, and quick movements is not a new concept for Zhang Tianzhi, who has rich fighting experience.

But Li Changheng doesn't mind being a good listener either.

After all, Jack Chen is famous for killing his opponents without being beaten to death.

Moreover, his hands and feet are really fast, and his movements are even more insanely flexible.

It can even affect the development of parkour, and even many movements are developed based on his movies.

After 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Jack Chen and some Laura who didn't want to leave were sent away.

Sitting on a chair, Li Changheng thought, instead of looking for a European expedition to go to Africa to find that tribe.

It's better to let Jack Chen, who is not interested in history and culture, has good skills, and likes to fight alone, go to Africa.

This guy is not only likely to have the aura of the protagonist, but he will definitely not stay in place for investigation like a real expedition team after he is found.

Once he searched around in that tribe and found nothing of value, he would definitely come back to collect the money immediately and stop paying attention to this matter.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, I was having dinner with Annie, and said that in the next few days, I would go to the coast of Monaco for fun.

Regardless of the rainy season, I went to Phuket to have a look.

The housekeeper, Meryl, had a bad expression and walked in with a few newspapers.

While listening to Meryl's words, Li Changheng read some tabloids in Paris, where they mocked him as an aristocrat, not only impolite, but also uneducated.

He also deliberately concealed the process of the auction and the cause of the incident, and wrote that he spent three times the price to buy a pair of imitations worth at most 80,000 pounds.

He even described the sale of his enamel gold pocket watch as the biggest loss in an art transaction this year.

He waved his hand at Meryl who was very dissatisfied, "It's okay, soon these Gallic roosters will slap themselves in the face, and then say in a more sour tone that I'm just lucky."

Looking at Anne with a concerned face, Li Changheng smiled and said, "Call the art consultant of the royal family for me and tell them about the oil painting that was sent back today.

I suspect it's the real thing by Petrus Christus, not some Vivianti imitation. "

Annie and Meryl were taken aback, "Are you serious?"

After Annie asked, she stood up without waiting for Li Changheng's answer, and walked quickly to the telephone.

On the other hand, Li Changheng himself thought silently that the easiest and most direct way to overthrow Virgil's appraisal result was to find a way to get the support of East Germany.

As long as the two "Pictures of Ladies" with different necklaces can be put together for identification, it is easy to determine that the two paintings are the work of the same artist.

Taking a step back, if experts from England could go to East Germany to observe the painting with their own eyes, it would save a lot of trouble.

After all, if there is no direct evidence, according to England and France's habit of targeting each other, even doubting and denying each other.

The French will automatically side with Virgil, while the English are likely to think about how to hit the French in the face like a shark smelling blood.

It will definitely be fun in the media then.

After Virgil was suspected and even confirmed that the painting was authentic, the old guy should either retire and hide in his home in Paris, or go to a small place to spend the rest of his life.

If he doesn't leave, then hire tabloid reporters to follow him every day, and force him to leave.

And once he leaves Paris, no matter whether he transports the oil paintings he has acquired over the years, or keeps them in the secret room at home.

It is tantamount to giving Li Changheng a chance.

As for finding a woman to fall in love with that old guy, and then obtaining the password, it would take too much time for Li Changheng.

With his current status, once more people know about it, it will not be the best choice.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Changheng came to Paris Etoile Square wearing a hat, T-shirt, jacket and jeans, with the carved Colt python hidden under his arm.

Standing on the side of the street, you can see the antique shop opened by Frank from a distance.

I stopped by a convenience store, bought a large beer and some snacks, and then went straight to the antique store.

"Dingling", the copper bell hanging on the door rang when the door was pushed open.

Frank, who was sitting at a workbench, inspecting a copper pocket watch with a magnifying glass, said "just look at it" without looking up, and continued to ignore the workers.

Li Changheng scanned the entire store with his eyes. At least half of the 80 square meters are full of various workbenches and scattered tools and parts.

Go to the table where Frank works and sit down, "You're not afraid of being stolen by someone, or a robber comes in."

As soon as Frank looked up, at first glance, he felt that Li Changheng was only a young man in his 20s.

"Did you come to chat with me, catch up on the old days, or want to know who is the person who called today's quotation?"

"All of them."

Put the beer and snacks in his hand on the table, unscrew a bottle of beer and take a sip.

Seeing this, Frank smiled and opened a bottle himself, then took out an envelope from the drawer.
