LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 61 You think I'm short of money?
"What do you mean???"
This time, both the curator and the audience were dumbfounded.
Kristol clearly said there was a difference, so why is he saying it's true now?
With puzzlement.
Kristol pointed to an expert who has a lot of research on pigments and lines and said, "Two, please help explain."
Kristol knows that it is definitely not enough to be convincing if he speaks alone, and it needs experts in various fields to speak together to be convincing.
And the two experts named by him also stood up. These two people are also internationally renowned appreciation experts.
They started to explain one after another.
"The reason for the fading of the paint is very simple. The Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum has been maintained at a high price. You should know this better than anyone else. Therefore, the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum will be given to people. A very new feeling, as if it has not been long since I painted it."
"On the other hand, the second picture, the reason why it fades is that it is not well maintained, and it belongs to natural fading. Fortunately, this painting should not have experienced any wind and rain, otherwise it will be presented to us. The one in front of you is not like this, but the dilapidated one.”
After the experts who have studied the pigments finished speaking, the experts who studied the layers and lines followed closely.
"As for the difference in the lines, when I first saw the two paintings, I thought there was something wrong for a while, but soon I found the root cause."
"The difference in the lines is entirely due to the age of da Vinci's fingerprints."
"As we all know, the paintings of the Mona Lisa were painted by Da Vinci with his fingers, and human fingerprints will undergo slight changes due to age. This change is not visible under normal circumstances, but it is placed on the painting. You can see a slight difference, the difference is not big, it is difficult for ordinary people to see."
After the two experts explained the reasons, Kristol and the rest of the experts nodded one after another, and no one vetoed this point of view.
"That is to say???" The curator continued to ask, but he still didn't give up.
"That is to say, this painting is indeed the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci himself, and it is very likely that it is the second creation after the first painting."
Kristol gave the final answer.
As soon as this answer came out, the world was in an uproar.
"It turned out to be true!!"
"Today will be a historic moment!"
"I never expected that Da Vinci could draw a second painting."
"My God, I can actually see a second Mona Lisa in my lifetime."
"Fortunately, I like to eat melons, otherwise I would have missed an opportunity to witness history."
Hundreds of millions of onlookers around the world made their own remarks, and everyone was shocked by this incident.
At the same time, the curator's expression was very complicated. He knew very well what the consequences would be if the painting were real.
Because of this, after listening to the experts' words, he immediately said, "Let the people from the appraisal agency come over and do the final appraisal."
The curator didn't give up, and still didn't believe it was true.
The personnel of the appraisal agency had already made preparations, and after a while, a series of unknown instruments were placed on the stage.
The function of this instrument is to detect the age of paintings, mainly through details such as paints, frames, drawings and so on.
After the instruments were set up, the detection agency started to detect. For the sake of fairness, they directly tested the Mona Lisa in the Louvre together.
Thirty minutes later.
Two pieces of data appear at the same time.
The sound of beeps came from the instrument.
After the news came out, the professional appraisal organization produced two data reports, and then, under the expectation of countless people, respectively stated the parameters of the two paintings.
"The Mona Lisa in the Louvre, dated from 1500 to 1520, the paint matches the age, the drawings match the age, and the frame matches the age."
After talking about the Louvre, the next step is the Mona Lisa painted by Lin Mo.
"The Mona Lisa provided by the Chinese businessman is from 1500 to 1520. The paint matches the age, the drawings match the age, the frame matches the age, and the parameters of the two paintings are about 3 years apart!"
When the data was reported, the curator of the Louvre's legs were already a little weak.
It is definitely a bad thing for the Louvre that the Mona Lisa, which is regarded as a top famous painting by the world, was unexpectedly found by a Chinese businessman with a second authentic painting.
Why?
Because the Mona Lisa is already the business card of the Louvre.
Countless people came to the Louvre, most of them came for the painting of Mona Lisa.
In this case, there are two Mona Lisa, what will others think?
The curator didn't have so much time to think about the consequences of this matter, he took a few deep breaths, and just when he was about to say something, a call suddenly hit his cell phone.
To his horror, this phone number was not his usual phone number, but a special phone number given to him by the government when he was the curator.
Seeing something coming, the curator asked someone to stay here, put away the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, and then quickly returned to his office to answer the phone.
As soon as the phone was answered, a deep voice rang out.
"good!"
"OK!"
"At any cost?"
"good."
"no problem!"
"I'll do it!"
The curator answered the voice on the other end of the phone as if facing an enemy, and the call ended after ten minutes.
After the call was over, the curator was already dripping with sweat behind him.
It turned out that the person who called him just now was none other than the high-level officials of Gaul.
When all the experts declared that it was a real painting, the officials of the Gaul Kingdom had already paid attention to this issue.
After a short meeting, the conclusion given by the above is only one sentence.
"This painting can only stay in Gaul, no matter what the price."
Regarding the meaning of the high-level, the curator actually understands the reason.
In addition to being the business card of the Louvre, the Mona Lisa is also the business card of Gaul.
When people around the world mention Gaul, they immediately think of the Mona Lisa.
In this case.
If this painting was taken away and brought back to China, it would be detrimental to Gaul, both in terms of reputation and economically.
Therefore, the meaning of the top management is very clear, even if the price is sky-high, it must be accepted.
With this order, the curator sighed, and then he left the office bravely.
He is very clear that there will be some problems in the next acquisition.
After all, the smile of Mona Lisa is a world-class famous painting, and this painting can no longer be measured by money.
And let's talk about Zhao's father, under the appraisal of global appraisers and connoisseurs.
The fact that the Mona Lisa he had brought over was the real thing had become a certainty.
After achieving the goal, Father Zhao doesn't plan to stay here any longer.
He asked people to take things away and was about to leave here.
But just after he packed his things.
The belated curator interrupted directly.
"Wait a minute, wait a moment!!"
Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.
Because of his obstruction, everyone also stopped their actions.
As the owner of this painting, Zhao's father looked at the curator with "doubting" eyes.
"Excuse me, what can I do?" Zhao's father was in international trade and was proficient in Gaul.
"Hi, sir. I have something I want to discuss with you in private." The curator no longer had the disdain before, and his face was polite. Those who didn't know thought he was flattering Zhao's father.
"Negotiation? Is it about this painting?" Zhao's father pretended to be confused.
"En!" The curator didn't expect him to say it in public, but he didn't hide it and nodded directly.
"If you want to negotiate about this painting, you can negotiate in front of everyone." Zhao's father saw that the other party took the bait, and said immediately.
He is not stupid. He knows that this thing cannot be negotiated in private. If he negotiates privately, then he will not be able to maximize his interests. If he negotiates publicly, the other party is likely to compromise his request, so he said loudly on purpose.
"Sir, this kind of thing needs to be negotiated in private." The curator didn't think too much, he directly vetoed Zhao's father's idea.
"Privately? I'm sorry, I don't accept it." Father Zhao refused indifferently, and the next second he asked someone to pretend to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the curator directly stopped him in a hurry: "I can't leave."
"What do you mean? I can't take my own things with me? Is this how you do things in Gaul?" Zhao's father made use of the topic, seeming to be questioning the curator, but when he said this, his eyes were on people from all over the world. Big media shot.
And what is the media? The point of their job is to find a gimmick.
Now that such a big gimmick has appeared, how can they let it go?
All of a sudden, all the cameras were aimed at Father Zhao.
Only then did the curator realize that he was in a hurry, and immediately laughed: "No, no, sir, you misunderstood, you misunderstood."
Father Zhao had to be unforgiving, and still said displeasedly: "Since that's not what I meant, then I'll take my things and leave. Anyway, I don't accept private negotiations."
After all, he took his things and left.
"Wait, wait, open consultation, open consultation." As if being controlled to the point of death, the curator gritted his teeth and compromised.
Seeing that the other party compromised, Father Zhao stopped in his tracks.
"Please set a price." Soon, the curator asked this key question seriously.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Zhao's father was displeased: "What? Asking price? Do you think I'm short of money???"
"Then what do you mean?" The curator was confused when he heard this, why don't you ask for a price? You can't sell yourself, can you? ? ?
