"???"

When Jiang Jiaya learned from Amanda's secretary that Suri actually had a good relationship with Miss Talia during her vacation back to Lanai Island, she was immediately filled with dark thoughts.

She was silent, and after a while she said with a sour tone:

"Throw me to the Louvre Museum in Paris to live a hard life, but you are lively and happy. Not only did you hold a party at the Whale Hotel, but you also went to see the inflatable yellow duck next to Waikiki Beach."

Secretary Amanda smiled and said:

"It's not like I haven't followed your Facebook. I saw you drinking coffee near the Eiffel Tower, shopping on the Champs Elysées, and even took close-up photos of the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo sculpture. This trip You had a very comfortable business trip, I would like to exchange it with you."

As said before.

Back then, Jiang Jiaya confessed to Suri but was rejected on Valentine's Day. This incident made her very upset.

Nowadays, every time Suri flirts with a girl, she is telling Jiang Jiaya - "You are not as charming as them."

It is precisely because of this that the girl always feels aggrieved and wants to kick Suri away.

While chatting with Secretary Amanda, Jiang Jiaya continued:

"It's okay. Although the picture looks good, it's actually not that comfortable. When I was feeding the pigeons in the square, in the blink of an eye, an old woman stole my newly bought Hermès Kelly bag. Fortunately, I didn't have any documents or other documents. I lost tens of thousands of dollars directly in my old bag, but the police in Paris seemed very indifferent."

Secretary Amanda smiled and said: "They have long been used to it. The exception is the recovery of stolen goods. You can treat it as if you have never bought it. Next time a brand wants to cooperate with Su Rui, I can help you get a sample as a gift. Rare than a Kelly bag from the street.”

After she finished speaking, she winked and followed Su Rui to do things for him. She could more or less benefit from it and make some money without violating the rules.

Jiang Jiaya smiled knowingly and asked again:

"Is the duck next to Waikiki Beach really as big as the picture? It will probably always be there before the second Little Yellow Duck Rafting Race is held. I might have a chance to see it with my own eyes."

Secretary Amanda replied:

"Of course, Daju will stay in Lanai Island to play this time, and he doesn't want to come back with him. When the boss wants to see him next time, he may arrange for you to go on a business trip to Lanai Island to pick him up, even if he is traveling to Lanai Island. The world-famous inflatable yellow duck can be seen on planes at Honolulu Airport..."

The two of them stood in the corridor chatting, while Su Rui was busy admiring the "Girl with a Pearl Earring" that had just been delivered to her. When she really saw this world-class painting with her own eyes, she realized that its size was much smaller than expected.

It’s right when you think about it.

At that time, the blue dye used to paint the girl's headscarf was so expensive that if the painting were a few circles larger, the creator would probably go bankrupt.

In the Middle Ages, only the Virgin Mary was worthy of this kind of blue, so it was also called "Virgin Blue". As a luxury item in paint, it once fascinated countless artists. It was made from natural materials produced in Afghanistan. Bluestone is slowly ground.

Celestite is worthless in modern times, but in that era when transportation was inconvenient and monopolized by profiteers, it was too difficult to buy them.

The entire painting cost Suri more than 60 million U.S. dollars. The girl in the portrait also had a unique charm, so he decided to hang the painting in his study room so that he could often take time to appreciate it and find inspiration for the film of the same name. .

In order to prevent the smoke from contaminating the painting, Suri even took a cigar and went to the garden terrace on the roof to smoke it.

During this time.

Jiang Jiaya came over. It was rare that she didn't carry a gun and a stick. Instead, she talked about business and asked in a low voice:

"Perhaps I am judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, but are you really 100% assured that "Savior of the World" will be completely handed over to the Louvre for appraisal and restoration?"

Suri was a little confused and asked: "Do they still dare to take away my paintings?"

"No, no, no, I mean when I was having dinner with the staff of the Louvre, someone joked that he hoped it was real, but also hoped it was not an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, so that it would not threaten the status of the Mona Lisa. "The Mona Lisa made the Louvre special, but Salvator Mundi has the potential to shake it up."

As soon as Jiang Jiaya finished speaking, Su Rui instantly understood what she meant.

It is no exaggeration to say that the "Mona Lisa" may generate tens of millions of euros in revenue for the Louvre every year. There are probably more than 6 million tourists who enjoy the "Mona Lisa" every year, which shows its influence. So big.

If the "Salvator Mundi", which is confirmed to be authentic, is bought by the Metropolitan Museum and the British Museum, it will have an impact on the status of the "Mona Lisa" and thus affect the Louvre's revenue.

As a businessman, Suri can easily think of the problems.

With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, he certainly wouldn't put all his chips on the conscience of the Louvre staff. If someone took the risk and sprinkled some powder on "Salvator Mundi" that shouldn't exist, it would affect the final appraisal result. cause impact.

therefore.

He said to Jiang Jiaya:

"It's a very important suggestion. I almost forgot that they like to falsify. Help me find some experts and institutions, and then we will jointly identify it. It just so happened that the news about this painting was leaked. It doesn't matter if the news is louder. In addition, we will hire a security team. Keep an eye on it twenty-four hours a day.”

This is not to make a fuss, a top-notch collection deserves to be taken seriously.

For example, the Museum of Modern Art in New York owes at least one-third of its reputation to Van Gogh's "Starry Night". It contributes tens of millions of dollars in revenue to this museum every year. It can make a fortune just by selling peripheral cultural and creative products. Make a fortune.

If these museums are regarded as companies, then it makes sense to nip potential competing products in the cradle. It is always safe to be cautious in advance and be a little cautious.

Finish talking about this.

Su Rui looked at Jiang Jiaya, stretched out his hand and said:

"I sent you to Paris for such a long stay. You stayed at the Rosewood Hotel. The room rate was 1,300 US dollars per night. You didn't buy me any gifts?"

".I went to work for you. I'm not really busy traveling, and the room was redeemed with your points from American Express. You keep complaining all day that you have money but no place to spend it. Do you need a gift from me?"

"It's different. Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy affection."

"."

Jiang Jiaya thought for a while and continued:

"I bought some things. I will give you a box of macaron desserts at most, and the rest will be given to my parents to try. After you finish their desserts, should you help me? My dad lost his job recently, and I I want you to find him a job."

Su Rui knew her father, and her parents were still friends. She nodded cheerfully and said:

"It's a trivial matter. I remember your dad used to manage a factory. There is a shortage of people at S Electric Vehicles, but just relying on a box of macarons may not be enough. If someone helps me go to Chinatown and buy a clay pot rice with cured meat, Come back with braised shredded eel and braised pork trotters, and it’s perfect.”

"No problem! You really should take more refills."

"Um?"
