Chapter 12 The Father of Bitcoin,

At 10 a.m., the Louvre.

Professor Albert happened to be in the museum today and had free time.

After learning this, Chen Yu came to the office of this top modern art appraisal expert.

Knocking at the door and entering the office, he greeted Professor Albert first, and then got to the point.

"Professor Albert, I have said before that I would like to ask you to help me see the situation of some modern art. This morning, that friend sent me the photo, so I came to you."

Hearing this, Professor Albert nodded immediately and said:

"No problem, I have time now, so I can see those photos."

"That's great!"

As he said that, Chen Yu took the iPad, called out the photos of modern art that Elaine sent to him, and handed the iPad to Professor Albert!

Professor Albert reached out to take it and then checked it out.

At first, this top modern art appraisal expert was a little unintentional.

But after just a few glances, his expression became focused and he looked more carefully and seriously!

Just like when Chen Yu saw these photos in the apartment building in the morning, Professor Albert's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, but it didn't show it on his face.

However, Chen Yu saw all these slight changes in his emotions!

The reason is nothing special. Chen Yu's ability and vision of identifying modern art works is comparable to Professor Albert. The content they both saw is exactly the same.

Because it has successively integrated the thoughts and memories of several top antique art appraisal experts, to a certain extent, Chen Yu's ability to identify modern art works has surpassed Professor Albert!

In the following time, the office became completely quiet.

Professor Albert looked at high-definition photos of modern art one by one, and from time to time, he would enlarge certain photos to check the details. He looked very seriously and devotedly. He even forgot that there was another person in the office!

Chen Yu sat on the chair, staring at Professor Albert who was fully committed, and waited patiently for the result!

About fifteen minutes later, Professor Albert finished checking the photos of those modern artworks, and then fell into deep thought, and he was a little confused.

After a while, the modern art appraisal expert woke up and looked up at Chen Yu.

"Renault, I believe you have seen photos of these modern art works. What do you think of the oil paintings and sculptures in the photos? Let's hear it.

Another point is, how did your friend’s family view these modern art works? Did she tell you, what channels did these modern art works come from?"

When he said this, Professor Albert's expression and tone were very calm, without any abnormality, and his words also had a bit of the meaning of taking the school exam.

This is normal. Professor Albert and Julia are old friends and her suitors, and Chen Yu is Julia's beloved disciple, so this kind of thing happened.

Chen Yu did not respond immediately, but pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"That's right, Professor Albert, I have carefully admired these modern art works before. I have to say that these modern art works are beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and are indeed worth collecting!

Among those modern oil paintings, I saw works from famous art schools such as realism and post-impressionism, as well as beastism. From this point of view, these oil paintings have a certain history!

Among them is a beastist painting, with bright colors, thick and straightforward lines, and very clever painting skills. It seems to have a bit of the shadow of Henry Matisse, a master of the Brutalist art!

I asked that friend and she told me that her family originally lived in Nice on the Costa à la Côte d'Azur and moved to Paris in the early 1970s, and Matisse happened to live in Nice in his later years!"

"Wow! I didn't expect you to have such a vision, it's so surprising!"

Professor Albert couldn't help but sigh, and looked at Chen Yu's eyes shining!

After a moment of pause, the top appraisal expert nodded.

"Renault, you see very accurately. Judging from these high-definition photos alone, these modern artworks are of very good quality, including many outstanding works of great value!

The Fauvism oil painting you mentioned with the shadow of the master of art Matisse may be a work of Mattis in his later years. He lived in Nice until his death!

However, these are just high-definition photos and do not equal real objects, so we cannot give a positive conclusion. Let’s go back and ask your friend when will I let me see the real objects?"

Chen Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"Okay, Professor Albert, I'll ask that friend if I can see if I can see the real thing. I also want to appreciate these modern artworks and open my eyes!"

Next, he chatted with Professor Albert for a while and discussed these modern art works. Chen Yu stood up and said goodbye and left the office.

Looking at his departure back, Professor Albert admired him with all his eyes.

...

Ancient Greek and Roman Art Museum.

It was already afternoon, and the exhibition hall was still crowded with people, gathering many tourists from all over the world to visit the many antique cultural relics and artworks displayed in this exhibition hall.

Chen Yu was standing by the service desk near the entrance of the exhibition hall, chatting with a familiar staff member, and the other party was naturally a beautiful woman.

The reason why he appeared here was not to visit this exhibition hall, but to work here and work as a part-time Chinese tour guide!

Because of the previous accident and the poor image a few days ago, he has not been working in the ancient Greek and Roman art museums in the past month.

Now that his body and image have been restored, he has returned here and continues to work as a part-time Chinese tour guide.

He does this job twice a week, Monday afternoon and Friday afternoon.

If you want to earn more extra money, you can come to work on weekends and get paid according to your work. The income is quite good, and sometimes you earn more than your salary!

Just when he was having a happy chat with the beautiful librarian, a museum staff member suddenly came to the service desk and said to Chen Yu:

"Renault, there is a small tour group from Hong Kong at the Syrian Pavilion. Their tour guide suddenly fell ill and was taken to the hospital. Now no one takes the tour group or explains it to them.

The tour guides at the Syrian Pavilion are busy and can’t free up their staff for the time being. Can you go over and take the tour group and explain it to them? You can negotiate with them on the specific charges!"

"Of course it's OK, Gaston, I'm very happy to accept this job"

Chen Yu nodded and then walked towards the Syrian Pavilion with the librarian named Gaston.

A moment later, the two of them arrived at the Syrian Pavilion and met the tour group from Hong Kong.

These people were standing at the entrance of Kayadid Hall, admiring the four tall female portrait pillars.

There are more than 20 people in this tour group, most of which are middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, the oldest is no more than 60 years old, and they are one-on-one, and they should be a couple.

After bringing Chen Yu here, Gaston turned around and left without introducing it.

Chen Yu looked at these Hong Kong tourists and immediately introduced himself in Mandarin.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Chen Yu, I am from Beijing, China, studying in France, currently working in the Louvre, occasionally working as a part-time Chinese tour guide, I am very happy to meet you here.

Next, I will lead you to visit the Ancient Greek and Roman Art Museum of the Louvre, and explain to you the many antique artifacts and artworks displayed in the museum. Of course, this requires your recognition.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly raised his hand and said in crappy Mandarin:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Chen, I am an RB man named Satoshi Nakamoto. I currently live in Hong Kong with my wife. I can understand Cantonese, but it is difficult to listen to Mandarin. Can you speak slowly when explaining?"

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise:

"Samoto Nakamoto? I heard it right? This name is so well-known. Could it be that you are the Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto who invented Bitcoin?"

Hearing this, the RB man shook his head quickly.

"It's just the same name, not a single person. Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto is in the United States or RB, but I am in Hong Kong. This name will indeed cause many people to misunderstand!"

"So that's it, but for this name, I also want to shake hands with Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto."

Chen Yu suddenly said, and took two steps forward to shake hands with Satoshi Nakamoto.

However, the moment he let go of his hand, a look of ecstasy flashed rapidly in his eyes!

There is no other reason, because the person in front of him is Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of Bitcoin who was exchanged for falsehood!
