Inherit For Three Thousand Years

A painting of tens of millions of dollars is dispensable to Xiao Yao. Even if the transfer price of "Thunder" can reach 60 million, he still feels that he has suffered a loss, but he has to suffer from this loss. This process is essential to hype up the fame of the artist and the price of the work.

Since the partner is the Louvre, Xiao Yao felt that changing the transaction method might recover his losses, and maybe even make a fortune.

In a top museum like the Louvre, in addition to the top collections that are often exhibited, there are also many second-rate or third-rate collections that have been shelved in warehouses and have not seen the light of day.

Maybe there is a certain treasure hidden in these second-rate or third-rate collections. As long as he can find one of them, he may be able to recover the loss.

Of the nine spirit beads that make up the holy soul world, he has only found the earth spirit beads, and there is no clue for the other eight spirit beads. There are many collections in the Louvre, maybe there is a clue to find the eight spirit beads, or even one of the eight spirit beads hidden in some corner.

The Louvre may not pay much attention to those collections that have been shelved, but it will never allow a stranger to visit these collections.

This cooperation with the Louvre will be an opportunity to visit these inventories.

After having this idea, Xiao Yao said casually: "You should know that I am not short of money, and I can buy anything more than 60 million US dollars. You use cash to buy my works, which is not attractive to me at all." , It even makes me feel that my work has been tainted by money, I don’t want my work to be tainted with dirty money.”

"If you don't need money to trade, then what do you want to exchange?" Abraham showed interest.

Although the Louvre allocates a sum of money from the proceeds every year, it is specially used to purchase fine masterpieces of contemporary artists. But there is a certain amount of money, and the proportion of 60 million US dollars is too large. If this transaction does not need to use cash but other items in exchange, Abraham will not be under so much pressure.

"I don't like you trading in cash. It will make me feel that the art has been tarnished. If you exchange it with your Louvre collection, this is the attitude towards art." Xiao Yao expressed his thoughts.

Abraham's eyes brightened. If he could barter, without using the real 60 million US dollars, then the operation would be much more flexible. If done well, it might save a lot of money.

After thinking for a while, Abraham said: "Those heavyweight collections in our collection must not be exchanged. This is not in line with our museum's business philosophy. If Mr. Xiao wants to exchange, he can only choose from those inventory collections .”

"If you do this, I will suffer a lot. I like high-quality goods, but I don't like those mass products. How are you going to compensate me?" Xiao Yao took the opportunity to ask.

The massive inventory collection of the Louvre is not only a manifestation of the heritage, but also a burden.

These massive inventory collections come from various sources, some are historical relics, and some are donations from all walks of life.

These ordinary collections are not qualified to be placed in the exhibition hall, so they can only be put in the warehouse to eat ashes, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to keep them properly.

If these ordinary collections can be exchanged for Xiao Yao's "Thunder", it can save 60 million yuan and reduce a part of the inventory. For the Louvre, this exchange method is simply too cost-effective.

"In order to show our sincerity, we can sell the exchange items selected by Mr. Xiao at a low valuation. But I want to reiterate that it is impossible to exchange the fine collections of our Louvre Museum." , Abraham can make decisions without asking for instructions.

"Then it's settled. The price of "Thunder" is 60 million U.S. dollars, all of which will be exchanged for your Louvre museum collections. You can't keep any non-fine collections that I fancy, and you must exchange them.

Moreover, the valuation of these ordinary collections is carried out according to the low valuation. "Xiao Yao reiterated his request again.

"Basically no problem. After I go back and report to the headquarters, I should be able to sign the agreement early." Abraham is quite sure about this transaction method.

Being able to take this opportunity to clear part of the ordinary inventory, even if the price of "Thunder" is a little higher, reaching 60 million US dollars, he feels that the headquarters should prefer this exchange method.

Today's negotiation went smoothly. After Abraham went back to report, he immediately received the support and approval of the headquarters. Xiao Yao can go to the Louvre to select the collection at any time.

Xiao Yao was very much looking forward to the massive inventory of the Louvre, and soon chartered a special plane, accompanied by Lu Jinguang, Abraham and others, and flew directly to Paris.

After arriving in Paris, all the management of the Louvre attended and held a grand banquet to entertain Xiao Yao and his party.

At this banquet, in addition to the top management of the Louvre, there were also many domestic artists in France who were invited to attend.

During this period of time, Xiao Yao’s reputation has risen. The Western art world is very interested in this mysterious oriental artist. Hearing that Xiao Yao has arrived in Paris, many people come to meet and communicate with him.

After this reception, the presidential suite where Xiao Yao stayed was always disturbed by visitors. For three days in a row, he was busy communicating with the masters of the French art world.

Through face-to-face communication, Xiao Yao's profound artistic attainments and distinctive personal style have conquered almost all the artists who came to communicate with him. Western artists' admiration and admiration for Xiao Yao.

The Louvre Museum has too many collections, which can be said to be piled up like a mountain. Even if he is given three or two years to identify and select one by one, he will not be able to finish the selection.

Facing a huge inventory of collections, he used his mental strength to choose without hesitation.
