Chapter 21 Preliminary Wealth Freedom,
Yuri was about to speak, but suddenly stopped and paused. His eyes seemed to lose focal length in an instant, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
The next moment, the guy with a blank expression let go of Chen Yu, opened the car door and sat in, and then drove away. A series of movements were smooth and smooth, and it was straightforward!
When he left, the guy waved to Chen Yu, as if he was seeing his friend again.
Looking at the SUV that was quickly moving away, a cold smile appeared on Chen Yu's face.
In a blink of an eye, Yuri had driven out of the Latin Quarter and drove straight north along the highway along the banks of the Seine River.
After driving forward for a few kilometers, the confused Russian gangster suddenly blew the steering wheel, drove out of the highway at high speed, and then broke the guardrail by the river and flew directly into the Seine.
Just as Suv was about to fall into the river, Yuri finally woke up.
The next moment, the SUV plunged into the water.
It was not until this time that Yuri realized that he was already in the Seine River, and he was tied up with a seat belt, tied himself tightly to his seat, and the car door was closed!
More importantly, he suddenly remembered that he could not swim at all, and he also remembered the bottle of vodka he drank in the evening!
"Ah! Help"
As soon as the desperate call for help started, the river was completely submerged and there was no sound again.
Other vehicles driving on this highway were shocked to see this scene, and they rushed to brake and tried to stop, and the road was suddenly in chaos.
After the vehicles stopped one after another, the order on the scene was slightly restored. People quickly came out of their respective cars and ran to the riverside.
But at this time, the Seine River had quickly returned to its tranquility, and the river surface was sparkling.
The SUV that just flew into the river was gone for a long time, and it was obviously sank into the depths of the river!
Seeing this scene, the people on the shore were helpless and could only call the police and ask the police to come to rescue and salvage the bodies.
Soon, it was midnight.
Andre, who could not wait for news and could not get through Yuri's phone call, was so angry that he almost exploded.
At this moment, the phone rang, it was a call from a family lawyer.
"Andre, I just received a call from the police. Yuri drove into the Seine because he was drunk and drowned in the river. That damn idiot, who didn't know how much alcohol he drank, finally drank himself to death!"
Hearing this, Andre was stunned, and even a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
"Is it the bastard Renault who did it? This is impossible! That bastard is just an ordinary person, how could he kill Yuri? What's more, Yuri always carries a pistol!"
On the phone, after the family lawyer finished talking about this, he saw Andrei not responding, so he called a few times, but still received no response and had to hang up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, another phone call came in, this time it was Enes.
Andre looked at it and didn't answer the call, but fell on the sofa.
...
It's another new day, the sun is bright, just like Chen Yu's mood.
When he went out in the morning, he deliberately glanced at both sides of the door of the apartment building, and did not find any strange vehicles parked on the roadside, nor did he find any Russian gangsters.
Through the memories of Andre and Yuri, he knew everyone from top to bottom of this Russian gangster, and no Russian gangster appeared nearby could escape his eyes.
Unlike in the past, Chen Yu did not ride a bicycle today, but called a taxi to the Louvre.
Because he wanted to take Van Gogh's "Scene of Harvest" to the Louvre and ask Professor Albert and others to identify it.
In fact, a group of modern art appraisal experts in the Louvre painting department were waiting for him to go to the Louvre. Of course, they were mainly waiting for this masterpiece by the art master Van Gogh.
Not long after, Chen Yu arrived at the Louvre, about half an hour earlier than before.
When he came to the entrance of the employee with a black painting bag, he saw Professor Albert and several other modern art appraisal experts, as well as the director of the Louvre painting department.
These old guys are gathering at the entrance of the staff and looking at this side with their toes.
As Chen Yu appeared, Professor Albert and others looked over and looked at the black painting bag he was carrying.
When he approached, one of the modern art appraisal experts he knew couldn't wait to ask:
"Renault, is that Van Gogh's "Scene of Harvest" just put in this painting bag?"
Chen Yu looked at these modern art appraisal experts and nodded.
"Good morning, gentlemen, that's right. Van Gogh's masterpiece is in this painting bag. You can see it later, but please keep it a secret. I don't want this to be known to everyone!"
Before he finished speaking, Professor Albert and his friends had already surrounded him, and they all shone with excitement, but they took the initiative to lower their voices.
Fortunately, it was still early and there were not many people at the entrance of the staff, so naturally it did not attract much attention.
Next, Chen Yu was surrounded by these modern art appraisal experts and went to the Louvre Painting Department instead of the office on the first floor of the minus.
On the way, the head of the Louvre painting department approached and whispered:
"Renault, if this oil painting is really Van Gogh's "Scene of Harvest", can I sell this oil painting to the Louvre? I can make the decision to acquire this top artwork!
There are very few representative works by Van Gogh, and there are not even a single painting in the series of paintings of "Harvest Scenes". Since we encountered this time, we certainly don't want to miss it!"
Chen Yu turned his head to look at the painting department supervisor and whispered without hesitation:
"Then it depends on the quotation from the Louvre. If the price is right, of course there is no problem. I am a young man, in the rising period, and have not yet reached the state of no desires and no desires. I have to consider my own interests!"
Hearing this, Professor Albert standing aside couldn't help laughing, while the director of the painting department was a little embarrassed.
While speaking, they had already arrived at the office area of the Louvre Painting Department and walked straight into the largest conference room.
...
At around 10:30 in the morning, Chen Yu walked into the office, but his hands were empty.
As soon as he came in, Julia called him into the small office.
When he entered the door and sat down, Julia immediately asked in a low voice:
"Reno, I heard from Professor Albert that you discovered a masterpiece by Van Gogh in an antique shop in Montmartre Heights yesterday, "The Harvest Scene", is it true?"
"It's true. The painting does not have Van Gogh's signature or any other personal marks. It's very beautiful and has very good painting skills, so I bought the oil painting.
At that time, I was a little suspicious that it might be one of Van Gogh's "Harvest Scene" series of paintings. After returning home, I carefully checked it and asked Professor Albert to appraise it, it was finally confirmed.
Today I brought that oil painting to the Louvre. After being identified by several modern art appraisal experts from the Painting Museum, everyone unanimously recognized that it was one of Van Gogh's representative works, "Harvest Scene""
Chen Yu introduced the situation, and his words were a bit proud.
"You brought that oil painting to the Louvre? Why didn't I see that oil painting? Another point, have the guys in the painting gallery asked to buy that oil painting?"
"That "Harvest Scene" was left in the conference room of the Painting Gallery's office area and needs further appraisal. I entrusted Professor Albert to take care of the oil painting, and it should be fine!
The director of the painting museum proposed to buy the oil painting, but I didn't agree, saying that I wanted to see the quote from the Louvre. You also know that the quote from the museum to purchase artworks has always been very low!"
"You did right. You can't let those guys take advantage of it. The Louvre Painting Museum is not good either. I will help you stare at that oil painting to ensure that your interests are not damaged, and no one can do anything about it!"
When Chen Yu heard Julia say this, he was completely relieved, and the only trace of worry disappeared!
Next, he waited to count the money and then enjoyed the pleasure of getting rich overnight!
Whether the painting Van Gogh's "Scenes of Harvest" was sold to the Louvre, to other museums or collectors, or to public auctions, it will bring him a huge fortune!
As Professor Albert said before, the amount of this huge wealth must be more than 10 million euros, or even higher!
In fact, this huge wealth soon arrived!
Tuesday morning, around eleven o'clock.
Chen Yu was working in the office. Professor Albert suddenly called and asked him to go to the conference room of the painting department to talk about selling the picture "Harvest Scene".
After hanging up the phone, he immediately told Julia, and then went to the office area of the Painting Museum with Julia.
When they arrived, they realized that it was not the Louvre painting department that was preparing to acquire this painting "Harvest Scene", but the French richest man Bernard, who is also the most famous top collector in France.
The French richest man reached an agreement with the Louvre Museum, and the Louvre Painting Museum made a connection, and he invested in the acquisition of Van Gogh's "Harvest Scene". Then the Louvre Painting Museum borrowed this top artwork to exhibit, with the best of both worlds!
Chen Yu did not object to the agreement they reached, as long as his own interests can be guaranteed.
Half an hour later, when he walked out of the conference room in the office area of the Painting Gallery, his bank account had already added 15 million euros, instead of the 10 million euros he thought had been!
Moreover, the tax on this art transaction is borne by the buyer, and he doesn't have to pay a penny, which saves him a lot of money!
When leaving the office area of the Painting Museum, Chen Yu felt that he was completely floating out and was almost flying!
When he returned to the office area of the Ministry of Art of Ancient Greece and Roman, he had returned to normal and walked straight into the office.
Chapter completed!
