Every time Yang Cheng comes to Liverpool, he will be intoxicated by the strong historical atmosphere here. To be honest, Liverpool itself is not a tourist city. Whether it is natural scenery or urban architecture, there is nothing worth savoring. After all, Liverpool is a city. In industrial cities, even though the overall industrial structure has been adjusted now, the air is still filled with a cold taste.

The car was driving on the streets of Liverpool. Old buildings can be seen everywhere, and the street view is even more difficult to talk about. It may be because of the rain. In short, it is difficult for Yang Cheng to see the bustling scene of Anfield in the city of Liverpool. Dangling and deserted are the current status of Liverpool.

The stone streets with mottled history are wide and flat, with ancient buildings on both sides and a monument, which outlines the central square of a typical European city. It is rare to meet a modern girl in a windbreaker, holding a black umbrella alone in the square Walking, the back looks extremely bleak.

It was originally planned that Ian Ayre would take Yang Cheng to Liverpool One to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the football park, but the sudden intensification of the rain forced them to cancel the plan and wait until the rain stopped.

But Yang Cheng won't stay in Liverpool for too long, and even Ian Ayer's request to stay and watch the game was rejected.

Sent away Ian and let him go to work on his own, Yang Cheng asked Andrew to drive around the project, but he didn't see anything, the fence has blocked all the outside sight, only the old buildings can be seen It has already been dismantled, and the whole project is divided into three phases, with a total of 26 months to complete. There is no way that there is too much rain in Liverpool, and at least half of the time cannot be started, and the construction period will naturally be doubled.

Fortunately, this is a project that will benefit a century, and Yang Cheng has enough patience to wait for it to be completed.

. . . . . .

Returning to Beihai Manor from Liverpool, Yang Cheng waited for the start of the private auction in the continuous rain.

William easily helped him get the invitation letter, one of which was sent to Adam along with the luxury car, famous watch and various materials, and the good show was about to be staged.

This night, Yang Cheng was in a very excited mood before leaving. He had a sense of being in an American drama. In American dramas, those thieves or scammers with special skills did not always use various tricks to attack their targets. ?

London has always been the oldest center of art trading, and it was also the largest center of art trading in the past. It is also the birthplace of Sotheby's and Christie's, an international auction house. Therefore, auction culture is particularly prevalent in London. Every spring auction is held 'Art Week' will attract a large number of celebrities and rich people flocking here.

Of course, it is not the time for spring auctions yet, but auctions held by various private and small and medium-sized auction houses have sprung up like mushrooms, warming up for the arrival of the "Art Week".

The Victoria and Albert Museum, the Tate Modern, and even the British Museum, these well-known museums are not only holy places that everyone usually visits, but also selected by auction houses as the venue for auctions.

But few people know that near Manchester Square, there is also a private museum that is so low-key that few people know-the Wallace Collection!

A countess who has lived in London for a long time commented on the Wallace Collection: it is a medicinal wine brewed by girls and ladies, so intoxicating that you just want to lie in a dreamy little palace and fall into the warm lust.

The Wallace Collection is an art museum, which mainly collects world-renowned works of art and decorative arts from the 15th century to the 19th century, as well as French paintings, furniture, weapons, armor, porcelain and European paintings before the 18th century in the 18th century. works, including Boucher's portrait of Louis XV's lover Madame Pompidou and Fragonard's rococo classic "The Swing", in addition to works by Rubens and Titian .

When it comes to Rococo, it is necessary to say that the Wallace Collection is known as the most beautiful museum in London because of its unique Rococo interior style.

When Louis XV came to the throne, it was the end of the rule of the old king and the stagnation of the Baroque style. It was replaced by the Rococo style with more complex curves but light and natural elements.

The Rococo style is derived from interior design and decorative art, and has achieved the era of European interior decoration aesthetics. However, Rococo rarely involves the exterior of buildings because when the French nobles moved back to Paris from Versailles, Paris had already developed into a In addition to a city with a stable building complex, it is not suitable to build new large-scale buildings. Therefore, when talking about Rococo architecture, it generally refers to interior design and decoration.

The warm collision of primary colors and dark tones is the peerless Baroque; the soft light colors and golden embellishments complement each other, which is the youth of Rococo.

The Wallace Museum seems to be no different from other London buildings from the outside, but when you enter it, you will find something unique. The ceiling, walls, and furniture are based on soft tones such as pink and sky blue, with metal utensils. The magnificence of a woman and the agility of a girl become extremely harmonious.

Generally speaking, the shape seems to be subject to the practicability of life, and it cannot be too presumptuous. People make the bowl round to prevent the soup from overflowing when drinking soup; people make the camera tripod into a triangle to ensure the optimal support. Stablize.

But human beings, especially artists with unrestrained personalities, are more unscrupulous in the use of color. It can be said that they act wildly according to their mood. People in Z country like red, because red represents blessing and excitement;

Nobles like gold, which symbolizes their noble status and endless wealth;

The Rococo color matching style is unique, just like the bold color contrast of museum interiors, ivory white supplemented by light pink, honey gold and sapphire blue, just like a graceful and luxurious lady, but mischievously hides the color that should be hidden in the boudoir. The girl's heart is shown unscrupulously, and she is not afraid of the secret of her boudoir being known to outsiders.

In modern life, the exquisiteness and complexity of the Rococo style is different from the currently popular industrial minimalist style. It looks a little old-fashioned and is prone to visual fatigue. treasure.

Yang Cheng's Rolls-Royce was parked on the side of the street near Manchester Square. After a while, a black Bentley Flying Spur was parked in the parking space behind. The driver in a black uniform and white gloves quickly got out of the car and opened the rear door. Adam, dressed in an elegant gray plaid suit, stepped out of the car.

The driver was a bodyguard arranged by Hansen.

After Adam got off the car, he didn't dare to neglect, he quickly came to Yang Cheng's car, opened the door and sat in.

He greeted respectfully, "Good evening, sir."

Yang Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Good evening, are the materials familiar? You have no chance to make mistakes. You have to understand that the woman you are going to face is not the empty middle-aged woman who often appears in your club."

Adam nodded his head and said with a confident smile, "Of course, all the information is printed in my mind verbatim, and I will devote 120% of my energy to it.

Now my name is still Adam, and I am engaged in a small real estate company in London that mainly focuses on construction development. The business targets are mainly Chinese from the Far East and the United States. I have undertaken many low-end and mid-end real estate projects with high cost performance. I became interested in collections and planned to build a private museum. I came to participate in the auction this time to add a few collections to the museum. "

Yang Cheng is very satisfied, Adam does have the potential to be a fraudster, especially to defraud those nympho and rotten girls, that face is simply better than a beautiful knife, today Adam has been carefully trained by a stylist, and the original 95-point face is carefully sculpted After tidying it up, there was an instant tendency towards an invincible beauty. Those crystal-like pupils looked extraordinarily clear and charming.

"Very good, remember, although you are now worth tens of millions of pounds, but because of the hardships of childhood, you are now living very frugally, the car is not the best, the house is not the biggest, and you can show your financial resources just right, But you don’t deliberately show off your wealth, low-key is your character, otherwise you won’t lose your reputation in London.”

Adam nodded, "I understand sir, I will earnestly complete the tasks you have given me."

Yang Cheng hummed, exhorted and warned, "It's better not to let the other party suspect that the contact fails, or you will be abandoned immediately."

Seeing that Adam listened to his heart, he felt relieved and glanced at his watch. Yang Cheng simply changed the subject, "By the way, do you know the background of the Wallace Collection?"

This question is very important. Once chatting with Roth Hanbury, casually chatting about the history of the museum, it is easy for ordinary people to show timidity, but Adam is a rich man who is about to enter the collection industry. How can he ask the Wallace Museum? Three do not know? It's not logical! At least it does not conform to the logic of the noble lady.

Not to mention, Yang Cheng really asked. Seeing Adam's confused appearance, he couldn't help sighing, and patiently introduced, "The Wallace Museum has been collected by the Hertford family for five generations, and now has about 5,500 collections. It is a typical closed collection museum, which means that the number of collections will not increase any more. Most of the collections are from the 18th century French collection civilization, especially Rococo-style decorations and painting collections.

The decoration style of the museum is closely related to the aesthetic preferences of the nobles at that time, and even more closely related to the taste of the royal family at that time. Mrs. Pompidou, the mistress of Louis XV, was one of the pioneers of Rococo, and Marie-Anton Varnet, the wife of Louis XVI, closely related Afterwards, the Rococo style continued to be advocated. That era was also the best time for the Rococo style. The nobles and common people who were influenced by the aesthetic taste of the royal family, of course, also included the Hertford family who were close to the royal family.

The second generation Marquess of Hertford bought this building as a residence in the 18th century. In the early 19th century, he often hosted fashionable social events for London's upper classes in this small palace. "
