The preface to Lanting, the No. 1 post in the world, was praised by Dong Qichang as "the rules and regulations are the best in ancient and modern times. The characters are all reflected in the tape, whether they are large or small, and they all follow the rules."

Zhou Yi stared at Tang Bao, doubting whether the information about this eldest young master was accurate. This treasure in the calligraphy world made Tang Taizong and Li Shimin salivate. He sent supervisor Xiao Yi to defraud the descendants of the Wang family. After his death, this post was buried with Zhaoling.

The reason why the Zhaoling Mausoleum has not been excavated is because it is worried that once the tomb is opened and the air pours in, the Tang Sancai pottery and the Orchid Pavilion preface will inevitably weather into dust. This is the most worrying thing for the archaeological community.

Could it be that the tomb robbers were not afraid of ghosts and were more skilled than the national archaeological experts, so they stole the Lanting Preface and resold it abroad? Zhou Yi shook his head, would a tomb robber with such skills still use tomb robbing? He could directly enjoy the national subsidy, or maybe the legend is not there To be precise, this Lanting preface did not enter Zhaoling at all? Why did it appear in the underground antique market in France?

"What are you thinking about? Third brother, this Orchid Pavilion preface is not an authentic work by Wang Xizhi. If it were an authentic work, it wouldn't shock the world?"

"It can't be that the Tang Dynasty copy from the Palace Museum has leaked, right?"

Zhou Yi politely used the word "outflow" to describe it. The Palace Museum has either lost or destroyed things over the years. It is not impossible that Tang copies were stolen and sent overseas. France is a place that advocates culture and art. In recent years, Chinese calligraphy and paintings have received considerable attention, and they are the best place to sell stolen goods.

"It's not the one in the Palace Museum, it's the one copied by Chu Suiliang. The whereabouts of this Orchid Pavilion preface have always been mysterious. It is said that it was put into the tomb of Qianlong and destroyed by Sun Dianying's rebels. Unexpectedly, it turned up in the French antique underground. trading market.”

Tang Bao chuckled and said: "The old man has been scolding me all day long for not seeking improvement. This time, buddy, I will find the national treasure that was lost overseas. See if he still scolds me? But you also know, third brother. Let buddy Watching insects is fine, but reading calligraphy and painting is useless. Brother knows that the third brother is actually a great expert, so I am afraid I have to leave this matter to you."

"I said you are just a glutton, so you don't need to come to France to drink from me, right? So that's what happened."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "When will the French Underground Trade Fair open? It shouldn't be today, right?"

"According to the information I received, this underground trade fair was held on the high seas of the Mediterranean. The organizer of the underground trade fair should have temporarily borrowed a gambling boat from a European casino as a trading venue. It should be that in the past few days, My people are still investigating the specific time."

"Still investigating?"

Zhou Yi shook his head repeatedly. How else could he say he was the second generation ancestor? The person he was looking for was unreliable. What time is it now and we still can’t determine when the underground trading meeting will start? Just ask yourself to take it back and swear to get it back. national treasure?

"Third brother, you are not jealous. This is not our territory. It is not easy for me to find out this step." Tang Bao smiled bitterly and said: "If you wait another day or two, there may be news. Man, you spent a lot of money."

"You might as well just give me the money. It's a complete waste. What if you investigate Qingchu? A secret transaction of this level. Without a special invitation, can you get on that gambling boat? Come on, my brother will help you. Take a handful, I’ll make a call first.”

"Is it done?"

After Tang Bao got the preliminary information, he hired the most powerful detective agency in Paris. As a result, he still hasn't gotten accurate information and expressed doubts about Zhou Yi.

"Hello, is this Mr. Bonaparte? I'm Zhou Yi from China." After dialing a phone number, Zhou Yi said calmly.

"Huaxia, is it Zhou! Zhou. I'm so glad to receive your call. Are you back in France? You must come to the casino to play when you have time. Last time I talked to David on the phone, he mentioned you. "

William Bonaparte showed great enthusiasm. When he thought of the Chinese Zhou's magical performance at the gambling table and his thunderous methods against Henry, he shuddered from the bottom of his heart. With his years of experience in the underworld, A person like Zhou Yi who can turn his hand into clouds or rain at any time can only be friends, not enemies.

What's more, although Zhou Yi took away billions of francs from the Ongian Leiban Casino, he finally returned the casino to him. Although William Bonaparte was a notoriously ruthless character, he was also a grudge. People who know clearly still remember Zhou Yi's favor.

"Haha, Mr. Bonaparte, you're welcome. I just want to ask you for some news."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Recently, a French speculator held an antique calligraphy and painting fair on the high seas of the Mediterranean. Has Mr. Bonaparte heard of it? As far as I know, this speculator probably borrowed a gambling boat. Bonaparte Your husband is also a leading figure in the European gambling industry, so he should have received the news, right?"

The Ongian Lebanese Casino is very famous in France, but in Europe it can be considered second-rate at best. Zhou Yi just asked casually. It would be best if he had any information.

"Oh, Zhou, are you asking about this? What, Zhou, are you interested in this transaction?"

William * Bonaparte pondered for a moment, but decided to answer Zhou Yi directly: "Zhou, if it is not very necessary, I advise you not to go. I heard the news that the Swedish royal family, high-ranking British nobles, and some world-famous collections Everyone, and even the Arab Oil King will participate in this trade fair. It is said that they are all determined to get one of the Chinese calligraphy works. Zhou, I know you are very powerful, but even if your assets are several times greater, you may not be able to win it. More so than the Arabian Oil King and those old aristocrats, right? Those are the real invisible rich, and their assets far exceed those of Bill Gev, the nominal world's richest man."

"Third brother, okay, you have a way!"

Tang Bao had been listening to Zhou Yi's mobile phone. He stretched out his thumb with a happy face and said in a low voice: "Invitation letter, invitation letter."

"No matter how strong the competitors are, I still want to take a look. After all, it is about our national treasure of China."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I need the exact time for the start of the trade fair, and two invitation letters. Can Mr. Bonaparte do this for me?"

"Invitation letter? I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Although your status as chairman of Zhou Group is barely enough, because it is an emerging company, your strength cannot convince the organizer of this trade fair. As for your friend, he can Do I know his identity?"

William Bonaparte smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, if the organizer of this fair hadn't borrowed a gambling boat this time and had some relations with the gambling industry, I wouldn't have been able to get the news. Even if I got the news, I wouldn't be able to get the news." You are not eligible to receive an invitation. Of course, if your friend is a noble noble, it will be different."

He really wanted to help Zhou Yi, but he also knew that the organizer of the trade fair was not an ordinary person. The other party held the underground trade fair on the high seas of the Mediterranean this time to facilitate collectors and nobles from Europe, and the purpose of borrowing the gambling boat was to avoid circumvention.

Law, because even in some European countries that open gambling boat registration, they will limit the number of gambling boats. It is not because the other party is not strong enough.

Therefore, help is help. If Zhou Yi's friend is not of sufficient status or harbors some malicious intent, he can only express his inability to help. The purpose of asking Zhou Yi like this is to get a feel for it and decide whether to sell the favor to Zhou Yi.

"Noble?" Zhou Yi glanced at Tang Bao. This guy can barely be regarded as a Chinese noble. However, when he saw Tang Bao shaking his head, he knew that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he smiled and said: "He is a business friend, and his assets are considered

It's strong, but it may take time to issue a certificate. I wonder if Mr. Bonaparte has any other options?"

Tang Bao is not a bastard enough to transfer his assets abroad. If a domestic financial institution issues an asset certificate, even if it can solve the problem of identity exposure, it may not be in time; not to mention that the asset certificate from China may not be

It was recognized by the organizers of the trade fair that after all, China's financial control has a strong governmental nature and is not as free as in Western countries.

"There is a way, but it's a little more troublesome."

William Bonaparte smiled and said: "In this case, you need the guarantee of a big shot. The president of the French Gambling Association, El Raffarin, may be happy to vouch for you."

"El Raffarin?" Zhou Yi frowned slightly. The French gambling industry is closely related to the Mafia. He basically wears a pair of pants. This Raffarin is obviously not clean, and he doesn't know him.

, where does the term "very happy" come from?

"Yes, it's Mr. Raffarin. Your miraculous performance in Ongian made Mr. Raffarin very curious, especially the way you 'helped' us take back the casino and used thunder to save your French brother-in-law.

Mr. Raffarin is extremely impressed. He has always wanted to see you. If you are willing to take the time to meet Mr. Raffarin, I believe everything will not be a problem."

William * Bonaparte tried his best to seduce Zhou Yi: "Mr. Raffarin has a close relationship with the organizer of this trade fair. He was the one who facilitated the other party's borrowing of the gambling boat. If he guarantees you, not only will you be

There is nothing wrong with the ship, and it can even be auctioned at a premium because Mr. Raffarin’s guarantee is its creditworthiness.”

Temporarily covering the call port, Zhou Yi turned his head and glanced at Tang Bao: "You have heard that this Raffarin is probably the leader of the Mafia Party, but if we want to board the ship, we must get his guarantee."

"Promise him, isn't he just a gangster? What are we guys afraid of?" Tang Bao sneered, people like Raffarin should be used when they should be used. As for the underground organization of the gangster, we are the most famous in generations.

It is this kind of people that you are not afraid of, even in France.

"As you wish."

Zhou Yi nodded. In fact, even if Tang Bao retreated, he might not give up the Lanting Preface copied by Chu Suiliang himself. Since it is a Chinese treasure, how can foreigners get it? This is a truth that even children understand.

"Okay, Mr. Bonaparte, please make arrangements as soon as possible for me to meet Mr. Raffarin." (To be continued...)
