Chapter 68 Da Vinci's Unknown Secret
Universe Kingdom, inside the Smecta Museum.
When he came to the last stop, Zhao's father was already comfortable with this kind of thing.
As always, he looked at the museum first, and only when he was done with it, he opened his mouth to lay the groundwork for his own affairs.
Curator Smecta heard that there was a big deal, and it was time for dinner, so he immediately took Father Zhao to a private room politely.
Sitting in a private room.
The two didn't go straight to the subject, they were chatting tentatively with each other.
After a while, when cabbages with different flavors came up one after another, Father Zhao, who was somewhat hungry, suddenly lost his appetite.
The curator didn't notice this strangeness, but said proudly: "Mr. Zhao, this is the most famous dish in our universe country, the authentic Smecta spicy cabbage, if you don't eat it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. .”
The kindness is hard to come by, Father Zhao laughed along with him, then picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of spicy cabbage into his mouth.
"Not bad, delicious." Adhering to the attitude of doing business with others, Zhao's father still cheered.
"Haha, if it's delicious, eat more. Come here, and this sour cabbage is also a very famous delicacy."
Looking at the table full of cabbage, Father Zhao has no appetite at all.
In order not to let his mouth suffer, Father Zhao didn't waste time, put down his chopsticks and said to the curator very seriously: "Curator, put aside the matter of eating, I came here to see you today, mainly to discuss a big deal with you .”
Hearing that Father Zhao went straight to the topic, curator Smecta immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at Father Zhao expectantly: "Say it."
Father Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and he talked about the Mona Lisa in a short time.
It's just that he deliberately kept an eye out. He didn't say which Mona Lisa's smile it was, and he didn't say which one it was, including the countries he had previously traded with, except John's country.
Let's talk about Curator Smecta.
When he heard that there was still a Mona Lisa smiling in his hand, and it was still an authentic work, the curator was shocked.
"Are you kidding me?" the curator asked in shock.
Father Zhao smiled and said, "Do you think I would come all the way to play such a big joke on you?"
The curator fell silent after hearing this, and soon decided that the other party was not joking.
Not kidding, Director Smecta has also started to take this matter seriously.
The two chatted for over an hour.
Director Smecta mainly has three questions.
First, why are you selling to us?
Second, are you sure it's authentic?
Third, what price do you want? ? ?
Zhao's father, who came prepared, also responded fluently.
The reason for selling it to Smecta is very simple, because their company recently wanted to expand the market of the universe country, but they had no chance before. Now that they have such a good thing in their hands, they naturally want to curry favor with the universe country.
Whether it is authentic or not, Father Zhao said very responsibly, you can hire anyone and find an appraisal agency at will. If it is fake, he will pay one billion yuan on the spot, or arrest him for selling counterfeit goods.
Of course, Father Zhao is also very smart. He deliberately reminded the other party that if the other party wants to find an appraiser or appraisal institution, it is best to find an appraiser or appraisal institution in his own country. After all, this thing is a world-class famous painting that can shock the world.
If appraisers from other countries came to appraise, what would they do? Be sure to notify the official of the art circle in your country as soon as possible. If the other party notifies your country, then no one knows what bad things will happen.
As for the price, Father Zhao's price is not high, as long as it is not lower than that of Gaul.
For these three answers, the first two curators didn't care, what he really cared about was the last one.
When he heard that the price was higher than the price in Gaul, curator Smecta directly refused.
"It's too much, we can't afford it."
Father Zhao also knew that the other party would answer like this, so he was not in a hurry, and kicked the ball to the other party in the next second.
"Then how much do you say?"
Curator Smecta thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "If it is true, we are willing to let you pick four of your Chinese antiques from the Smecta Museum to go back."
As soon as the price came out, Zhao's father became "displeased", and immediately got up to leave.
Curator Smecta immediately stopped him, signaling that he had something to say.
In the end, after bargaining between the two parties, curator Smecta bought a Mona Lisa with the qualifications of five random selections.
After confirming the deal, Father Zhao didn't waste any time.
Not long after, he informed the other party to invite an expert to come and appraise it, and Zhao's father also asked for the painting to be sent over.
After three hours, the professional appraisal team of Universe Country gave the answer of the authenticity.
After confirming that it is genuine.
Curator Smecta pulled Father Zhao aside, and continued.
"Mr. Zhao, the thing is true, but you need to cooperate with us to do something. If you agree, the agreement will be signed immediately. If you don't agree, the agreement may not be signed today."
"What is it?" Father Zhao was confused.
"Only you and I know about today's transaction, and no one else knows. You can't publicize it privately, and you can't tell anyone that you sold it to us. If you reveal a word to the public, then we have the right to sue you. This Things we will write in the agreement contract."
Hearing this, Father Zhao was a little confused.
He knows that this kind of transaction needs to be kept secret, but it stands to reason that this confidentiality period will automatically end after they make an official announcement. Why does the other party ask him not to make it public for the rest of his life?
With puzzlement.
Curator Smecta said mysteriously.
"In fact, there is one thing that our universe country has kept from people all over the world for a long time, but we have not found evidence to prove it. It just so happened that you sent us the Mona Lisa smile today, which also gave us a chance to announce the secret."
"What secret?" Father Zhao was aroused.
"I can only tell you if you sign the agreement. If you don't sign the agreement, then we can't tell the secret." The curator didn't answer, but reminded Zhao's father about signing the agreement.
"I'll sign it." To be honest, even if Universe Country wouldn't let him sign the agreement, he would keep it a secret, so Father Zhao didn't hesitate, and signed his name with a big wave of his hand, and stamped his handprint.
Seeing that the non-disclosure agreement was signed, the curator breathed a sigh of relief, and then he solemnly revealed the secret that was kept from the whole world.
Curator Smecta: "To be honest, according to our literature records, Da Vinci is very likely to be a member of our great Smecta nation."
After the words fell, Father Zhao froze in place.
"What????"
"Da Vinci is a citizen of the Universe Kingdom." The curator thought Father Zhao didn't understand, and immediately explained loudly.
After confirming that it wasn't his ears that had a problem, Father Zhao was dumbfounded.
He knew that the universe country was a very shameless country before, but today he finally learned the lesson.
This Nima Da Vinci can be said to be from their country. This is simply outrageous. His mother opened the door for Outrageous, outrageous home! ! ! !
