Chapter 378: Nazi relics

Yang Cheng raised her eyebrows, her tone became playful, "Oh? Tell me, what do you think?"

Eiffel gritted his posterior molars, "Among the paintings I brought out, one of the paintings is very similar to the one I saw in the German art case two years ago, Matisse's "The Sitting Woman "."

Yang Cheng really didn’t know about it, so she couldn’t help but look back at Hansen. Seeing Hansen’s memories, he said vaguely, “Boss, I have indeed heard that in 2013, more than 1,500 surprises were found in a businessman’s house in Munich, Germany. Many of the world’s paintings originate from works looted or stolen by the Nazis. Many of them are Picasso’s paintings, with a total value of up to 1 billion euros. The Jews also established a committee for the recovery of cultural relics, but later the German ZF He said he would return the looted painting crops to the original owner, but in the end there was no news."

"In other words, this "Sitting Woman" should have been on the list of cases involved, but somehow it appeared in the castle of Earl Edmond?" Yang Cheng suddenly figured out the key point.

Eiffel nodded, "So I guessed whether Earl Edmond used any illegal means to obtain this painting or even a few paintings from the stolen items. Now the matter has been revealed. He is afraid of getting into trouble, so he is completely blocked. In this way, even if the painting reappears, it can be separated from the Edmond family."

Hansen added, "And I think the German tax authorities may be involved here. After all, the cause of this big case was unintentionally discovered at the time. The tax authorities were investigating taxes and accidentally pulled out these paintings from the warehouse. At the press conference, I just gave a brief introduction to this matter without discussing it in detail. I have reason to doubt the ultimate destination of these paintings."

Yang Cheng probably guessed the truth before and after, and said with a disdainful expression, "The German probably thinks these paintings should belong to him, so why should he return the property to the original owner, even if he can't keep it, secretly sell a few for some money. It’s also good. Anyway, there are more than 1,500 paintings, it doesn’t matter to report a few damages."

Hansen thought it so, Eiffel didn't have the right to interject, but Yang Cheng asked again, "By the way, how much is this Matisse's "The Sitting Woman" worth?"

Eiffel touched his nose, "I checked the information, at least 50 million pounds, if the auction will be higher."

Yang Cheng cocked her mouth and waved her hand. "There is no need to think about the auction. This painting is destined to not appear under the flash. What are your plans?"

Eiffel grimaced, "I didn't plan. I didn't think about how to get rid of it in the future. I didn't even think about how to get rid of it in the future. I'll leave it to you to deal with it, and just give me something later."

Yang Cheng is very pleased with Eiffel’s self-knowledge. At least this is not a fool who loses IQ for money. This kind of artwork is of unknown origin and is likely to cause big trouble. Let alone Eiffel, an ordinary worker, it is Yang Cheng. You have to be careful when you handle it. If you are not careful, he will be caught in the whirlpool.

Judging from the before and after the incident was cleared by a few people just now, here is at least involved in several aspects such as the old British aristocracy, German ZF, Nazi forces, Jews, etc. Neither side is easy to provoke, and Yang Cheng also has some headaches. He definitely won't stay, selling for money is the kingly way, but to whom? How to sell? You have to think about it.

Seeing Eiffel dulling his head and not speaking, he suddenly pressed his throat and asked, "Eiffel, tell me the truth, what good things did you bring out this time? It's best to say it all at once, otherwise I can't keep you. "

Eiffel was taken aback, then shook his head again and again, "It's really gone. The other paintings and jewelry are all normal and not of high value. They add up to millions of dollars."

Yang Cheng stared at Eiffel tightly, trying to distinguish what he was telling the truth and lies. The result was not bad. Eiffel did not show any panic.

"Then you will be wronged for a few more days. When I finish processing the painting, you can move freely."

"understood."

. . .

After coming out of Eiffel, Yang Cheng went straight to Roosevelt Island. He just had a thought. He couldn't handle it personally. It would be more appropriate to find a trustworthy broker. This person was none other than Skeller. He had to ask how things were going on last time, and how sacred the ZH was, he was very curious.

At the penthouse at the southernmost point of Roosevelt Island, Yang Cheng knocked on the door speechlessly for a long time, and then Skyler walked slowly over to open the door. When he saw Yang Cheng, his smiling face suddenly became serious, and yelled angrily. "Damn, you finally came."

Yang Cheng was surprised, "What does Mr. Skyler mean? Did you find that Z.H?"

Skyler didn't treat Yang Cheng as a guest at all, and pointed to the sofa casually, "I said you didn't leave me a phone call when you left? No one can find it. I thought you were kidding me about the old man. ."

Yang Cheng has a black line. He doesn't memorize this pot~www.wuxiaspot.com~Mr. Skyler, I am very sure and sure I left you with a business card before I left last time, and there is my personal phone number on it. "

Skyler was taken aback, and remembered something, but he was still stubborn, "What business card? How can I have a business card? Do you dare to wrong me?" Anyway, he would never admit that he scratched the wall with a certain business card. Yin, threw it in the trash can.

Yang Cheng didn't care about the old guy either, and raised his hand to sigh for mercy, "Come on, I did this wrong, or should I talk about Z.H?"

Skyler was a little guilty and waved his hand pretentiously, "This matter is not urgent, it is a bit complicated, I will talk about it later, or should I talk about you first?"

Yang Cheng shrugged and said it didn't matter first, and then snapped his fingers to ask Hansen to show Skyler the pair of "Sitting Women".

Skyler happily fetched his glasses, and he lied on the table and admired it a little bit without saying a word, "Huh? I have never seen this painting, but looking at this special use of red, blue, and green, there is also The clean lines and interesting composition resemble the works of Henry Matisse, a representative of Fauvism."

Yang Cheng couldn't help applauding, "As expected of Mr. Skyler, it is indeed the work of Master Matisse. The title "The Sitting Woman" has never been seen before."

Skyler slapped his lips. "To be honest, if I hadn't participated in an exhibition of Matisse and had a brief exchange with a professional professor, I would not be able to tell it. This painting should be before he entered the mature period. In the work, it can be seen that his experiments on color are still in progress. Many details are less harmonious and more conflicting, but the flaws are not covered up. This imperfection makes the painting more realistic, and it is really a good one."

He took off his glasses and looked at Yang Cheng, "Then, are you ready to take this picture?"
