Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 846 The deal is reached
Whether it is the world-famous discus thrower sculpture or the newly discovered boxer sculpture, they can be regarded as the masterpieces of ancient Greek sculptures. Although they are only replicas of bronze products, they almost perfectly reproduce the essence of the original.

And this kind of high-quality goods often represents extremely high commercial value. For example, the plaster models for art students to learn are often copied works of famous masters.

In addition, some people also choose replicas of famous works of art to decorate their gardens or rooms, and these people are potential customers of Liang En.

After the negotiations were over, several people touched each other with a glass of champagne from the tray that Mary had placed on the table next to them, and then everyone took a sip of the wine.

"I wish us a happy cooperation in the future." Liang En said after putting down his glass. "For us, we need to work together on this ruin next."

"Of course, I believe that our future cooperation will be very smooth." Chairman John nodded slightly in agreement. "The choice now is a very meaningful thing for all three of us."

"Actually, I have never figured out why there are such two stone sculptures in this ruin." After the contract was concluded, Joan of Arc asked Liang En curiously on the way back to the tower.

"If I remember correctly, this place should be regarded as the meeting place of the Hermes School, a mystical school, but the content of the statue has nothing to do with mysticism at all."

"This may be a fashion in the Renaissance era." Liang En said with a smile. "Do you still remember what the style in that cave was?"

"Hmm - it should be a standard ancient Greek style." Joan narrowed her eyes and thought for a few seconds before saying. "Yes, that's it. I can't judge wrongly on this point."

"Yes, you answered correctly. For those who study the occult, their core of thought mainly comes from ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, so they will naturally have a sense of admiration for things from that era." Liang En nodded and explained road.

"For example, this can be seen in the "School of Athens" painted by the famous painter Raphael. The whole painting is set against the background of tall architectural arches unfolding in depth. scholar."

"But if you pay attention to the background of this painting, you will find that although the background is said to be based on the famous St. Peter's Basilica as a model, it is actually an obvious ancient Greek style."

"After all, the core of the so-called Renaissance is to revive the culture of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, so Europeans at that time had an unusual hobby for ancient Greece and ancient Rome."

"I understand, what Ni means is that these statues are to create an atmosphere of ancient Greece." Joan of Arc reacted immediately, "but the problem is that these things don't seem to be so Greek or Roman."

"It's very simple. People in the Renaissance didn't even know as much about ancient Greece and Rome as we do. So the imagination created at that time about ancient Rome and ancient Greece seems to be full of all kinds of fallacies today."

Liang En spread his hands and said that although the Renaissance era was closer to ancient Rome and ancient Greece than it is now, limited to the technology and academic research level of that era, their feelings about ancient Rome were not very accurate.

To give the simplest example, there are a lot of oil paintings in the Renaissance era depicting important events in ancient Rome or ancient Greece, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are a lot of errors.

Not to mention that the robes on those people in those paintings were obviously painted against the remaining sculptures, which are quite different from the current archaeological data. Just the plate armor per capita in the ancient Greek wars they painted can feel very outstanding. play.

In the era of the Renaissance, Constantinople had just fallen, and the last twilight of the ancient Roman Empire had just gone out, and those Roman scholars who fled westward brought with them the original Renaissance ideas.

It is important to declare that the idea that the so-called Arab or Ottoman Turkey brought the Renaissance to Europeans is actually a false proposition.

What really promoted the Renaissance was actually those nobles and scholars who were exiled in Western Europe after the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. They brought with them the ancient Roman and ancient Greek culture preserved by the Eastern Roman Empire.

However, from another perspective, the continuous invasion of the Ottoman Turks to the west at that time also objectively promoted the westward spread of ancient Roman and Greek culture. After all, if it were not for them, those scholars would not have fled westward.

So for the cave builders, what they actually decorated was the ancient Greece that people knew at that time, not the real ancient Greece.

But even so, the other party is obviously trying to make their place closer to the appearance of those buildings in ancient Greece, for example, placing Greek sculptures that they don't know where to find.

Because this place is indeed the Holy Land of the Rosary Cross, on the second day after the agreement was signed, the Rosary Cross began to send a large number of people to prepare to build a new type of museum.

"Okay, I think it's time for us to leave." Listening to the noise from the construction site, Liang En felt that he should also leave. Obviously, this place will become unsuitable for living in the next period of time, after all, he lives on the construction site It's not something to enjoy.

"An unexpected harvest. Isn't it?" Joan said on the plane back to Dublin after everyone took the plane back to London. "I remember you were planning to sell the island or exchange it for something.

"That's because I didn't know there was such a thing hidden in this not-so-big island." Liang En smiled, "Just like the saying in "Forrest Gump", life is like chocolate, you You never know what the next flavor will be."

This exchange meeting can be said to be very fruitful for Liang En. In addition to obtaining a valuable island, he also reached a cooperation with Guerlain in perfume.

According to the other party, the new perfume that Liang En formulated has already entered their perfume release list, and will be put on the market in the second half of this year or the first half of next year.

At least in the previous communication, Liang En learned that his perfume had been approved by a series of experts from Guerlain, and it was well received by everyone.

According to the Mr. Guerlain they knew before, the matter of amateurs mixing perfumes has existed in history, but with the passage of time, the configuration of perfumes has become more and more professional, so the producers have become more and more professional melted.

At least in the last 30 to [-] years, major perfume companies have no channels for perfumes made by amateurs to enter and sell them in bulk. At most, individual formulas enter the knowledge reserve, and Liang En has broken the previous situation in this regard.

This perfume converted from the spice oil used to worship the gods in ancient Egypt has been recognized by most people. In the eyes of those professional perfumers, this perfume from the depths of history has a special taste that can fill modern perfumes. Some blanks should be widely welcomed.
