Chapter 378 Nazi Relics

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

Eiffel gritted his back molars, "Among the paintings I brought out, one of them is very similar to a painting I saw in the German art project two years ago, Matisse's "Seated Woman" "."

Yang Cheng really didn't know about this, so he couldn't help but look back at Hansen, seeing Hansen recalling it for a while, he said vaguely, "Boss, I did hear that in 2013, more than 1,500 surprise paintings were found in a businessman's home in Munich, Germany. World paintings, a considerable part of which came from works plundered or stolen by the Nazis, including 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 It was said that the looted paintings should be returned to their original owners, but in the end there was no news."

"That is to say, this "Seated Woman" was supposed to be on the list of cases involved, but it somehow appeared in Earl Edmond's castle?" Yang Cheng figured out the key point at once.

Eiffel nodded, "So I guess that Earl Edmond used some illegal means to get this painting or even several paintings from the stolen items. Now that the matter has been revealed, he is afraid of causing trouble, so he completely blocked it. In this way, even if the painting reappears in the world, it can disassociate itself from the Edmond family."

Hansen added, "And I think the German tax department may be involved here. After all, it was discovered that the cause of this big case was that the tax department was inspecting taxes. They unintentionally dug out these paintings from the warehouse, but then At the press conference, the matter was only mentioned briefly, and there was no detailed discussion at all, so I have reason to doubt the final destination of these paintings."

Yang Cheng also probably guessed the truth before and after, and complained with a look of disdain, "The German guy probably thinks that these paintings should belong to him, why should he return them to the original owner, even if he can't keep them, he secretly sells some paintings for some money It’s also good, anyway, there are more than 1,500 paintings, and it doesn’t matter if you report damage to a few.”

Hansen was convinced that Eiffel had no right to intervene, so Yang Cheng asked again, "By the way, how much is Matisse's "Seated Woman" worth?"

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

Yang Cheng raised her mouth and waved her hands, "Don't worry about the auction, this painting is destined not to appear under the flash, what are your plans?"

Eiffel grimaced, "I didn't intend to. At that time, the handicap handed out this painting, and I didn't think about how to get rid of it in the future. I'd better leave it to you to deal with it. Just give me some points afterwards."

Yang Cheng is very pleased with Eiffel's self-knowledge. At least this is not an idiot who lost his IQ just for money. This kind of artwork with unknown origin is likely to cause big trouble. Let alone Eiffel, an ordinary worker, it is Yang Cheng. You have to be careful and careful when handling it. If you are not careful, he will be sucked into the vortex.

Judging from the fact that just a few people have clarified the before and after of the incident, it involves at least several aspects such as the British veteran aristocrats, the German ZF, the Nazi forces, and the Jews. He definitely won't stay. Selling it for money is the kingly way, but to whom? How to sell? You have to think about it.

Seeing Eiffel holding his head and not speaking, he suddenly pressed his voice and asked, "Eiffel, tell me the truth, what good things did you bring out this time? It's best to make it clear at once, otherwise I won't be able to keep you. "

Eiffel was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head again and again, "It's really gone. The other paintings and jewelry are all normal, and the value is not high. They add up to a few million dollars."

Yang Cheng stared at Eiffel closely, trying to distinguish whether he was telling the truth or not, but the result was not bad, and Eiffel did not show panic.

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

"knew."

. . .

Coming out of Eiffel, Yang Cheng went straight to Roosevelt Island,

He had just come up with an idea. He couldn't handle this matter himself. It would be more appropriate to find a trustworthy broker, and this person must be Skyler. He is very curious about who exactly Z.H is.

At the penthouse apartment at the southernmost tip of Roosevelt Island, Yang Cheng knocked on the door without a word for a long time before Skyler walked over slowly and opened the door. Seeing that it was Yang Cheng, his smiling face suddenly became serious, and he yelled angrily. , "Damn it, you're finally here."

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

Skyler didn't regard Yang Cheng as a guest at all, and casually pointed to the sofa, "I said you didn't leave me a call when you left last time? I couldn't find anyone. I thought you were joking about the old man. .”

Yang Cheng has black hair, and he doesn't take this blame seriously, "Mr. Skyler, I'm very sure, I'm sure that I left a business card for you before I left last time, and there is my personal phone number on it."

Skyler was taken aback, and thought of something instantly, but he was still stubborn, "What business card? How can there be a business card? How dare you wrong me?" Anyway, he will never admit that he scraped the dirt on the wall with a certain business card India, conveniently threw it into the trash can.

Yang Cheng didn't bother with the old guy, and raised her hand to beg for forgiveness, "Well, I did this wrong, or should I talk about that Z.H?"

Skyler was a little guilty, and waved his hands pretending to be grand, "This matter is not urgent, it is a bit complicated, we will talk about it later, let's talk about your matter first?"

Yang Cheng shrugged, said it doesn't matter after talking first, and snapped her fingers to ask Hansen to show Skyler the "Seated Woman".

Skyler excitedly fetched the glasses, lay down on the table without saying a word, and began to appreciate them a little bit, "Eh? I've never seen this painting before, but looking at this special use of red, blue, and green, there's also The clean lines and interesting composition are very similar to the works of Henri Matisse, the representative of Fauvism."

Yang Cheng couldn't help applauding, "As expected of Mr. Schuyler, it is indeed the work of Master Matisse. It is called "Seated Woman" and has never been seen before."

Skyler smacked his lips, "To be honest, if I hadn't participated in a Matisse painting exhibition and had a short communication with a professional professor, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. This painting should be before he entered maturity. From the work, it can be seen that he is still experimenting with color, many details are less harmonious and more conflicting, but the flaws are not hidden, this imperfection makes the painting more realistic, it is really a good painting."

He took off his glasses and looked at Yang Cheng, "So, are you planning to sell this painting?"
