Chapter 1082 Shakespeare's manuscript
...
"call……!"
While feeling relieved, Eskenazi quickly patted his chest and said, "The villa is simple, but I don't know what kind of villa Mr. Liu likes?"
"It doesn't need to be too big, it's almost the same as Mr. Eskenazzi's castle!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Mei Xue next to her showed a look of surprise on her face. She was about to reach out to stop her, but when she thought of the news about her lover's wealth that she had just learned, she took back the words she had already heard!
If the news that Liu Dong was ranked in the top 20 Forbes Rich List was true, it would be too easy to buy an ancient castle in London.
So, Eskenazi was not surprised after hearing Liu Dong's conditions, "It's easy to say, this matter is for me!"
"Then I will thank Mr. Eskenazzi in advance!" Liu Dong said.
"Haha, you're welcome!" After pausing, "Then can we sign an exchange agreement now?"
"Don't worry, it's better to wait until I choose three works of art before signing an agreement!" Liu Dongdao.
"Okay! Then Mr. Liu please…!"
Liu Dong nodded and then began to wander among the rows of display stands;.
Soon, Liu Dong pointed to an oil painting two meters high and four meters long on the side of the iron frame next to him and said, "I want this oil painting!"
"it?"
After following Liu Dong's fingers and looking at the oil painting he pointed at, Eskenazi was surprised and said, "Liu, are you really planning to want this painting?"
"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded.
After hearing this and hesitating, Dennis Eskenazzi said: "Liu, you should see that this "The Last Supper" is just a copy of Leonardo da Vinci. Although its level is very high, it is impossible to determine its author! Are you sure you really want it?"
"I'm sure!" Liu Dong nodded, "Although this work is probably not made by a famous artist, I like it very much at first sight. And as a collector, collecting artworks is not about how expensive the antiques are, but whether I really like it!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu said so! I'll fall for it then!" After thinking for a while, Eskenaz smiled.
When Liu Dong saw the other party say this, he was relieved!
As long as it doesn't arouse the other party's suspicion.
The most important reason why he agreed to this exchange was because of this oil painting! There is a huge secret hidden on it!
"What else does Mr. Liu want besides this oil painting?" Eskenazzi said.
After finishing this painting, Liu Dong also put his mind on it. The two remaining items were naturally to choose the ones that he was most interested in and had the highest value.
However, there are quite a lot of precious artworks accumulated by the Eskenazi family for hundreds of years of collection and trading of antiques, so after Liu Dong hesitated for a while, he finally chose the latter among the oil paintings of Rembrandt Rubens and Caravaggio!
Michelangelo Merissi de Caravaggio, a famous Italian painter from the late 16th to early 17th centuries. His artistic career began after the deaths of the masters of the Italian Renaissance.
He is also one of the most outstanding realistic painters in Italy.
The Caravaggio school, founded by his name, influenced many famous European masters. Giovanni Barigneo Lazio Gentileskifermer and Rembrandt, etc., were all influenced by Caravaggio's painting ideas.
Seeing Liu Dong pick out Caravaggio's work "Rute Chinner", the only two-year-old Caravaggio work, a hint of heartache appeared on Dennis Eskenazzi's face.
But when Liu Dong picked up a wooden box on the display stand, the muscles on Dennis Eskenazzi's face trembled, "Damn it. Why did you forget to put it away!"
Although Liu Dong couldn't hear Eskenazi's thoughts, he could also guess the pain on his face!
But no matter how much Dennis Eskenazi felt sorry for him, Liu Dong would not put the things in his hand!
"Mr. Eskenazzi, I have already picked all three things, and now we can sign a contract!" After fastening the wooden box, Liu Dong said with satisfaction.
"Mr. Liu, you really have good eyesight!" Dennis Eskenazy breathed heavily, looking at Liu Dongdao with some complexity.
"Haha, sir, I'm sorry, compared to seniors like you, I still have a lot to learn!" Liu Dong said modestly.
After taking a last look at the wooden box in Liu Dong's hand, Eskenazi took him and Mei Xue out of the treasure room!
Soon the two drafted a contract!
After duplicate, they signed each other with their names!
Because of his current stay in a hotel, the large number of Chinese artworks will definitely not be taken away immediately. So, for convenience, Liu Dong finally took away only the relatively convenient wooden box, as well as Caravaggio's "Rute Chinke" oil painting! After paying for several other artworks sold at the charity auction, they were temporarily kept in Eskenazzi.
After Dennis Eskenazzi's personal visit, Liu Dong took Mei Xue away from this luxurious manor with a strong historical and cultural atmosphere.
When he returned to the hotel, Liu Dong’s first thing was not to appreciate the two works of art he brought back. Instead, he comforted Mei Xue’s grievances because of her kind deception!
After comforting, when Mei Xue's mood improved, Liu Dong naturally launched his own male offensive.
When Lang has love and concubine is interested, let it go. Of course, when Liu Dong is taking the initiative, the two of them naturally broke through the last bottom line.
Wushan*, the red is ripped over the waves, and it has been twisting and turns overnight. The fusion of spirit and flesh has made the two of them feel deeper and more stable!
After a night, the biological clock in Liu Dong's body still woke him up at five in the morning.
Looking at Mei Xue, who was blushing and still sleeping soundly, Liu Dong's face immediately showed a gentle look on his face.
He gently stroked the other person's forehead slightly messy Liu Hai behind his ears, and Liu Dong gently pulled his arm out of Mei Xuezhen's head.
After quietly putting on the bed and covering the blanket for the other party, Liu Dong walked out of the bedroom and began to practice his martial arts internal skills without any movement!
After making these, Liu Dong, who originally wanted to make breakfast, walked to the study and admired Caravaggio's "Rute" that he took back last night, and picked up the wooden box next to him!
The lid of the wooden box is embossed with exquisite olive branches and leaves. The center of the box is a female angel pattern. It can be seen from the black and shiny patina on the lid that the original owner cherishes the box. To be more precise, he is extremely caring about the things in the box!
In addition, the material of the wooden box is teak, with delicate texture and hard texture. In the sail era, teak was the best ship material!
Let’s not talk about the things inside, but this box, which has a beautiful shape, extraordinary material, and has a heritage of more than 250 years, is worth more than 50,000 pounds.
After gently opening the lid of the box, a piece of paper that was full of handwriting and turned yellow and had a small amount of insects, but was well-preserved, was exposed.
Based on Liu Dong's experience, you can see at a glance that these papers are parchment paper that was often used in modern Western countries!
This paper, which is soaked in lime water to remove hair and remove fat, and then stretched out with a special wooden frame, is neither paper nor leather. However, it keeps the paper's credentials, and the traces of ink and dye staining are smaller than this one, and the pigment can maintain a lively and vivid color.
It is a very precious and excellent writing material! It’s just that the price is quite high. It’s not something that ordinary people can afford.
Liu Dong carefully took out the papers with black handwriting from the box and reads;.
After Liu Dong took away all the parchment paper in the box that was 40 cm long, 30 cm wide and nearly 8 cm high, he breathed out with satisfaction!
"Shapepee's most famous tragedy, Hamlet, and the manuscripts of the 12 sonnets and the long poem "Venus and Abdul Ni"!"
Looking at the parchment on the table, Liu Dong couldn't help but exclaim.
Shakespeare, often respected as Shakespeare in Chinese society, is the most outstanding dramatist in British history, one of the most outstanding writers in Western literary and artistic history, and one of the most outstanding families in the world. His works have been passed down from 38 dramas, 155 sonnets, two long narrative poems and other poems. His dramas have translations in various major languages, and the number of performances far exceeds that of any other dramatist.
Shakespeare's status in world history does not need to be too detailed! As people praise him, he is "Zeus on Mount Olympus of human beings"!
"Hamlet" is the most famous of Shakespeare's tragic works. It is known as one of the four great classics in Europe. Since its publication, it has been adapted into stage opera opera films and other works many times.
"Venus and Abdul Ni" is one of Shakespeare's only two-handed long poems!
But the combined value of these Shakespeare manuscripts is more than 50 million pounds, and they are still lonely products. No wonder when Dennis Eskenazi Spring City felt distressed when he saw Liu Dong take away this wooden box!
I guess if the other party hadn't liked Da Vinci's oil paintings more, I guess this precious manuscript of Shakespeare wouldn't have been in his hands.
After carefully browsing, Liu Dong put the manuscript back into the box!
Because this Shakespeare manuscript is too precious, Liu Dong didn't care that Mei Xue would wake up and saw that the wooden box disappeared, which might arouse suspicion, so he directly put it into the mustard seed space!
Just as Liu Dong finished all this and took Mei Xue to have breakfast after getting up, Eskenazzi called in.
"Liu, I've found a house for you, but you need to come and see it yourself!"
"So fast?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"Haha, I'm still thinking about that last work of Leonardo da Vinci, so I'll move faster!" Eskenaz smiled.
"Well, I'm preparing for breakfast now, and after I'll go there immediately!"
"Okay, I'll send the address to your phone first!"
"Um!"
"Then this is the case for the time being, and we will talk about the detailed news when we meet!" said Eskenazzi.
"Okay, let's talk after meeting!"
After hanging up the phone, Mei Xue said curiously: "Whose phone number was just now?"
"Dennis Eskenazzi, he sued me for my house to find, let us go and take a look after breakfast!" Liu Dong said.
"So fast?"
"Haha, he is a British man and has been operating in London for decades. He has a deep connection. Finding a house may be a bit difficult for us, but for Eskenazzi, it is very simple!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Looking at Mei Xue nodding, Liu Dong took her hand and said, "Let's go reads;. Let's have breakfast first, and then go to see our house after breakfast. If it's good, buy it!"
Mei Xue, who already knew that Liu Dong was very wealthy, didn't say much about this. After closing the hotel door, she came to the restaurant with Liu Dong.
However, the breakfast of milk, eggs and bread made Liu Dong, who was used to soy milk, fried dough sticks and buns, a little uncomfortable. Of course, Liu Dong, who had been poor since childhood and was not picky about food, quickly filled his stomach.
But just as they were about to go out of the hotel, they happened to run into Edward Chen and Melissa who had just arrived from the car.
"Why are you here?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"What? Isn't it welcome?" Chen Xiao said.
