MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 94 Opening the Treasure Box Continued 3

The second letter, Leonardo da Vinci's letter to his teacher Verrocchio.

Li Xiaoshuai did not hand it over to Morgan like the first letter, but directly to the appraiser Billy. Billy picked up the envelope, glanced at it, and immediately said it was a European Renaissance envelope.

Oil painting appraiser Leamsi; the red-haired middle-aged man also agreed with this point of view.

Erickson on the side also asked, the first letter was indeed an antique after you read it for a long time. You can confirm this letter at a glance. Is there any reason for it?

In order to understand the confusion, the two appraisers gave each other humility, and finally Laamsey explained it. He said that the quality of the paper made by hand is very poor, and you still have very thick wood fibers on it.

Few people can use this kind of craftsmanship in modern times, and there are very few fake ones. As long as you see it a lot, you can recognize it at a glance. "Now what we need to identify is which celebrity wrote this letter, who the recipient is, and what the specific content is."

Mr. Billy carefully pulled out the letter, and opened the folded letter in a softer way. After only reading two sentences, he exclaimed: "God, this is Da Vinci's handwriting!"

"Yeah" Morgan jumped up from the sofa so excited, he hugged Li Xiaoshuai and said, "It's really great to have you, I want to thank you."

Eriksson still couldn't believe it, and asked again, "Can you really confirm that this was written by Leonardo da Vinci?"

Mr. Billy said seriously: "There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, gentlemen, please believe in my ability to work!"

Because of obedience, the old gentleman is already a little unhappy.

His old colleague Leamsey said that a few years ago, Mr. Li from Microsoft spent $25 million to acquire the famous Leonardo da Vinci manuscript, which was identified by Mr. Billy. First person!

"Disrespect, disrespect" Li Xiaoshuai still admires such an old master.

Frank and Bojan, who were guest waiters on the side, also looked at each other, and both saw excited glances in each other's eyes.

Frank said in his heart that Li is a person with real super good luck. It seems that my generation still follows him honestly. I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. Just being able to participate in the appraisal meeting in person is a kind of beauty. experience.

Ordinary people, who can have such good luck to see so many rare treasures?

In Morgan's eager expectation, Billy gave Morgan a detailed introduction to the identification results of the letter, as well as the content of the letter and the recipient, until he understood it.

"Then the price of the letter?" Morgan asked.

Billy said that because both sides of the letter are celebrities, this can be calculated with reference to the cover's acquisition of the Leonardo da Vinci manuscript, even if it is about one-twelfth, or $2 million.

Morgan was afraid that Li Xiaoshuai would go back on it, and rushed to the front to say that the price was very suitable. He also asked Li Xiaoshuai: "What do you think?"

Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart that this was really picked up. There is no cost for a single copper plate. It is enough to sell 2 million. For the long-term business in the future, it is nothing to suffer a loss. He said "Yes."

Seeing that Da Vinci's handwriting was in hand, Morgan happily hugged Li Xiaoshuai again, and kept saying thank you. Then, the $2.75 million was directly transferred to Li Xiaoshuai's account.

After the letter was over, the oil painting appraiser, who had been unable to bear it for a long time, immediately got up, walked three steps and two steps, and stepped in front of "Paul III" in a few steps. He also took out a magnifying glass and began to study it up and down.

Morgan, who was free, also took the coffee and walked over. He glanced at the oil painting and said that it looked very good. He also asked who painted Li Xiaoshuai?

"According to my research, this should have been painted by Titian."

"Oh, the great painters of the Renaissance."

Laamsi suddenly asked Li Xiaoshuai if there was any flour at home.

Li Xiaoshuai was a little stupid. He thought that he needed flour to appraise ancient paintings. Should he even brush a layer of flour on the ancient paintings?

The appraiser didn't explain much, just let Li Xiaoshuai quickly bring it over to him, which is of great use.

Flour, water, and a large glass jar for kneading noodles, I saw that the appraiser really started to knead noodles. While the appraiser put the ancient painting on the table, Li Xiaoshuai secretly poked the bottom with his finger, feeling that the dough was softer.

After coming down again, Li Xiaoshuai really admired it and learned a trick secretly.

I saw the appraiser tore apart a small ball of dough, knead it into a small dough in his hand, put it on the ancient painting and gently push it up and down, and after a few strokes, the dough was kneaded into a dough stick.

And where the noodles were rolled back and forth, the color became much clearer and brighter.

Li Xiaoshuai understood as soon as he turned his mind. It turned out that the dough on the appraiser's hand was used to absorb and stick impurities from the ancient paintings. Once the dust on the paintings for many years was removed, the ancient paintings would naturally brighten.

Time was limited, so the appraiser only cleaned up the part of the human head on the ancient painting, and the temperament of the famous painting was immediately revealed. Even Frank couldn't help but say that it looked so comfortable.

Billy said, the young man is right, the paintings painted by the great painters are just to make people feel comfortable no matter how they look at them.

In such a big place, appraiser Layamsi looked at it for more than half an hour.

He walked up to Li Xiaoshuai and said, "Mr. Li, can you give this painting to Christie Auctions? We promise that we will make the most grand promotion of this famous painting in the world. I believe it will be a good price. I promise!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Li Xiaoshuai asked the ancient painting appraiser to come over, and he had the idea of ​​​​taking the photo. Now that everyone has made a request, Li Xiaoshuai can just agree.

This time it was the turn of the two appraisers to give each other a high five.

But the two drank two sips of coffee, and Billy gave Laamsi a familiar look again, so Laamci made another request, saying that Li Xiaoshuai still has a lot of good things at home, can he take out more? Several pieces on the shoot.

He also said that Christie's Auction House can offer a 20% discount on the fee, and he also said that he would give discounts such as global recommendations.

Hearing that there might be a drama, Morgan was also excited, and he kept encouraging Li Xiaoshuai to show a few samples to everyone. If there were suitable ones, he was willing to pay a high price to buy Yunyun.

Even Erickson was beating the drum beside him, saying that they were all old friends, and they shouldn't hide them, because they would be sorry for their friends.

There must be some good things in the Li family, but if they can't show their faces, they will cause trouble when they are born. Today, Morgan and Erickson are in a wolf-like posture, and Li Xiaoshuai does not dare to marshal the scepter and Buckingham. The duke's canonization edict was taken out.

He pretended to smile bitterly: "No, really no more."

Billy grabbed Frank, who was refilling the coffee for everyone, "You said, does Lee still have better antiques?"

"Uh, um" Frank glanced at Li Xiaoshuai, and then said, "No, really not anymore."

When everyone was full of disappointment, the forensic doctor who had never made a sound since he came in said, "I can be sure that this gentleman is lying!"

"Oh?" Morgan rekindled hope.
