Chapter 303

Xu Wenqian shook her head and said, "It's okay, Mr. Zhao, this little thing can't break me. If there's nothing else, I'll go to work."

Seeing that Xu Wenqian was not affected by this incident, Zhao An nodded and said, "Until the car is repaired, you can temporarily use the company's official car. This is specially approved by me."

After Xu Wenqian left, Zhao An also started operating in front of his computer. He wanted to make a document of the oil painting brought back from Henderson Villa and send it to Fang Diwei.

This matter is very simple, there are pictures on the Internet, just copy and paste, and it will be done in 10 minutes.

After editing and sending it to Fang Diwei, I also called him by the way,

As soon as Fang Diwei got on the phone, he yelled loudly: "You can do it, my boy, I have been collecting all the wine that I have kept for more than ten years, and it was all reimbursed at noon yesterday.

It's rare to kill me, because I want to eat enough, right? "

Zhao An said with a smile: "It's nothing, it was obviously the second brother you yesterday, and you made yourself happy, why are you still blaming me?"

"Haha! Do you have it?" Fang Diwei smiled and said, "How about it, is the file ready? Send it to me when it's done, and I'll report it to you."

Zhao An said: "It has been sent to your mailbox, please remember to check it."

"Okay, just wait for my good news."

He said he was asked to wait, but in fact he did not make him wait long. After more than an hour, Fang Diwei called and said, "After I submit your request and documents,

The Government Council immediately held an emergency meeting, and the meeting decided to let the joint team established by the Administration of Cultural Relics and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

Screen and archive the oil paintings you are willing to contribute, but before they come, you still have a chance to go back,

They also promised to keep this matter secret, as if it had never happened,

After all, this is something worth billions of dollars. "

Zhao An laughed and said, "There is no retreat!

Now that I have said it, I will never regret it, and I have discussed this matter with my girlfriend, and she is also very supportive of my decision,

Money is a dead thing, traditional Chinese painting is barely acceptable, but oil painting is really hard to appreciate,

So take it, I have no nostalgia at all. "

"That's good!" Fang Diwei said with relief: "Their flight is about [-]:[-] p.m., and I will arrange someone to take them directly to the place you designated."

Although the oil painting that Zhao An was going to donate was not something legitimately obtained,

But after all, it is a work of art with such a high value,

Even if Zhao An was willing to take it away with such peace of mind, Fang Diwei himself would feel bad about it.

After receiving Fang Diwei's approval letter, Zhao An said with a smile: "Then I will wait for you, Jiangcheng Wharf knows, I will put the things there,

When they arrive, you directly take them there, and I will wait for you there! "

After hanging up the phone, Zhao An called Gao Qiang again and asked him to find someone to store the oil paintings separately from other items, and he would arrive shortly thereafter.

The donation of oil paintings is one thing, but it will be troublesome if people find a large number of blue and white porcelain stored together.

Sure enough, Gao Qiang was also a man of action, and by the time Zhao An arrived on the Tranquility, he had already led people to get it done.

As soon as Zhao An arrived, Gao Qiang asked with a smile, "Boss, what's the situation?"

Zhao An rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't inquire, have everything been packed?"

Gao Qiang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, the doors are all locked, it's all right."

After having lunch in the smelting plant, Fang Diwei drove over with three cars after one o'clock in the afternoon.

Seven people got on and off the first two cars, five men, two women plus Fang Diwei, and the rear one was an armed escort car.

Zhao An was about to go up to say hello, but Fang Diwei waved his hands and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's talk after we board the boat!"

The living room and meeting room on Tranquility has everything you need, Zhao An brought people in,

Only then did Fang Diwei introduce to Zhao An: "Because of this kind of thing, there is no precedent at home and abroad.

So this time the plan is a joint operation by the Administration of Cultural Relics and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

This is Liao Yixin, the deputy director of the bureau, and this is Hong Baitao, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "

Liao Yixin is a thin middle-aged man with a wide forehead and a slightly high hairline. Wearing a pair of glasses makes him appear restrained.

Hong Botao was a gentleman in his thirties, he looked gentle, and he stretched out his hand to Zhao An with a pleasant smile: "Mr. Zhao, hello. I've heard some of Mr. Zhao's deeds, which is admirable!"

Zhao An said politely: "Officer Hong is young and promising, and the future is boundless!"

Fang Diwei said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk too much, the business is important!"

Liao Yixin also rubbed his hands together and said, "Yes, I also want to see Picasso's paintings with my own eyes. I can't wait."

Zhao An smiled lightly, and winked at Gao Qiang. Gao Qiang understood, and moved in the box containing the oil paintings together with Wang Bing.

The box was placed on the long desk in the conference room, and Zhao An opened the box himself and said, "There is not only Picasso's "Ted the Clown" in it,

There are still many famous paintings that have disappeared from the eyes of the world. Director Liao please take a look. "

The first painting in the box was "Ted the Clown". Liao Yixin put on white gloves excitedly, held it gently in his hand to admire,

It took a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "The biggest feature of Picasso's paintings is the strong collision of geometric figures and colors.

The expression of the characters in the painting, as well as the simple and neat figure, are outlined with brisk strokes, and the composition is simple and full of decoration.

This "Ted the Clown" is also a masterpiece created by him. Simple lines outline the facial features of the characters.

The distorted expressions show the rich inner activities of the characters, and express the living conditions of people in that era and their thinking about human nature..."

Crackling and talking a lot, people who don't understand oil painting listened in a cloud,

Only the last sentence, "This painting is indeed authentic, and it was worth 4800 million U.S. dollars that year," was understood by everyone.

Isn't it just a piece of sloppy torn paper, in terms of weight, it is tens of thousands of times higher than gold,

And what is the painting, I am afraid that our 5-year-old child's painting is fresher and more refined than this.

Seeing everyone's unbelievable expressions, Liao Yixin said with a smile on his face: "This is not surprising,

As the most creative and far-reaching artist in modern Spain, Picasso

At the same time, he is also the greatest artistic genius of the 20th century. His exploration of cubism art and surrealism,

Both are world-famous, and this Ted the Clown, although not his most famous work,

But as a representative work of his late primitive art style,

Selling for 5000 to [-] million in Western countries is actually very common.

And there is his autograph on the back of the painting. "

Everyone can't appreciate it, but it doesn't hinder Liao Yixin's admiration for Picasso. The meaning of the words is that this painting is very valuable.

Chapter 304 The Means of Game

After appreciating "Ted the Clown", Liao Yixin changed another painting to continue the appraisal. This time he picked up Monet's "London Waterloo Bridge".

"I won't introduce much about Monet, everyone knows it," Liao Yixin said with eloquence, "One of the most important French painters, one of the representatives and founders of the Impressionist School."

"Let's focus on this painting. Although this painting is not as famous as "Sunrise Impression" and his "Water Lilies",

But this painting has greater significance for the development of his future style.

The side-by-side brushstrokes vividly express the vibration of the air, relying on the combination of these brushstrokes to achieve the vivid effect of green-yellow light and green-black shadow.

The brushwork here is already impressionistic, but the colors are not transparent enough, and even the shades of blue are still cloudy,

It shows the ultimate beauty of Impressionism in terms of light and color. "

Everyone who was listening was stunned, Liao Yixin said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I've been a little long-winded, but you don't mind."

Zhao An said with a chuckle: "No, no, Director Liao has great insight and thorough analysis, which made me feel the baptism of art!"

Fang Diwei: "Just tell me if it's true or not!"

Hong Baitao retorted, "Don't worry, Commander Fang. I think learning a little more professional oil painting knowledge will help us increase our game-playing methods in the following negotiations."

Fang Diwei: ...

Hong Baitao not only said, but also took out his mobile phone to record: "Director Liao can continue to talk, and he can also talk about the background of these oil painting collections. This is also one of the shortcomings for our unit.

Well, the point is the value and the aesthetic changes in Europe and America in recent years. "

Some people are willing to listen, and Liao Yixin is also willing to talk. After explaining oil paintings one by one, everyone present can feel the baptism of art to a certain extent.

Those who didn't know anything about oil painting before began to know little about oil painting.

According to the oil paintings on site, from the development history of classical oil paintings to the transformation of modern oil paintings,

From philosophical concepts, artistic concepts to color language, etc., it tells how oil painting is a comprehensive art and its specific status in Western countries.

clap clap clap...

Zhao An was the first to applaud and said: "It is really better to listen to Jun's words than to read ten years of books. Director Liao's narration is so vivid, which shows that he has a unique view on art."

Liao Yixin said with a smile: "Hey, the words of a family are not worth mentioning, and compared to oil paintings,

In fact, my research on traditional Chinese painting is even better!

However, what is amazing is that the dozen or so oil paintings in Mr. Zhao's hands are all treasures stolen from Europe and the United States over the past ten years.

The key is still kept very well, which is especially beneficial for our next exchange operation! "

Zhao An chuckled lightly and said, "Can I get the "Picture of the Proverbs of Women's History" in exchange?"

Liao Yixin choked for a moment, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm afraid not, although these oil paintings are valuable, but in terms of value and artistic achievement, there is no way to compare with "Nv Shizheng Tu".

And there are no oil paintings stolen from Britain, let alone an exchange. "

Madan, Henderson and Tariq are also true. Why didn't they steal the UK?

Are you looking down on my Great Britain, the Empire on which the sun never sets?

Obviously, my British collection of antiques from all over the world is the most, okay? ! !

Hong Baitao also smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao misunderstood. We need to go back and formulate corresponding strategies to exchange those lost cultural relics. It is not something that can be decided with a quick brain."

Liao Yi said: "Yes, yes, yes, on behalf of the Administration of Cultural Relics, I would like to express my thanks again for Mr. Zhao's generosity!"

Zhao An smiled lightly: "There is no need to say more about thanking you. I have someone prepare dinner, and we will chat while eating."

Liao Yixin raised his hand to check the time, patted his head and said, "Oh, this lecture has been going on for so long, we have to hand over the process quickly, or we won't be able to catch the evening flight."

Zhao An smiled and said, "Don't worry, at worst, I'll send you back by helicopter."

Liao Yixin shook his head and said, "Don't bother, Xiao Wang, are the documents ready?"

A staff member behind responded: "Ready, Bureau Liao."

As he spoke, he handed over a detailed donation certificate to Liao Yixin, and Liao Yixin handed it to Zhao An again.

Zhao An took it over and looked at it, signed his name without the slightest hesitation and said, "I wish Director Liao and Officer Hong the good news!"

Hong Baitao said with a hearty smile: "Mr. Zhao is admirable and upright. We will do our best to achieve the goal, so that Mr. Zhao's painstaking efforts will not be in vain."

Zhao An smiled and said, "Don't say that, I'm really embarrassed to say that."

Fang Diwei chuckled and said, "If you want me to say it, it's not a problem if you only know how to give but don't know how to get back!"

This is to benefit Zhao An, but then again, what benefits can be obtained in exchange for this kind of thing?

Things cannot be made public, and Zhao An didn't expect any benefits.

If he was given a small red flag worth 500 yuan, he would feel embarrassed.

After finishing the formalities, Liao Yixin asked people to carefully put away the oil painting,

Sincerely said to Zhao An: "How many lost cultural relics can be exchanged this time is all thanks to Mr. Zhao. The country and the nation will never forget. Mr. Zhao's selfless dedication,

We will also have relevant certificates of honor awarded to Mr. Zhao. "

Zhao An smiled and said: "Personally, I dare not take credit for it. Apart from poetry, more things need to test your professional level and external strength. My contribution is actually insignificant."

Fang Diwei patted Zhao An on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk in detail later, I'll take them to the airport first!"

Zhao An smiled and said, "Okay, Commander Fang, go slowly."
