Chapter 802: Ways to Reverse the Situation

Miyamoto Genichi felt a pain in his chest like a knife. A piece of national treasure, no, it could be said to be a treasure, was replaced by him inhumanely.

The cell phone was ringing fiercely. Miyamoto Kenichi was startled by the ringing and almost suffered a heart attack.

After a long time, Miyamoto Kenichi managed to calm down. He pulled the phone card out of his phone. He could imagine that in the next period of time, his phone would be riddled with holes. , the only way is to keep the phone unreachable until he thinks of a countermeasure.

In fact, Miyamoto Genichi no longer dared to stay in his mansion. He asked his servants to pack a few sets of clothes, bring enough cash, and left home.

Just ten minutes after Miyamoto Genichi left, his antique house was surrounded by many people coming from downtown Osaka. Moreover, many people from the cultural circles in Tokyo were also rushing here. , if Miyamoto Kenichi had come out a little later, he would have been completely trapped in the house.

Miyamoto Genichi is a big collector. Naturally, such a person cannot only have one house. He has several houses in downtown Osaka alone.

He chose the most inconspicuous small apartment located near Shinsaibashi, and Miyamoto Kenichi moved in.

After buying a new phone card, Miyamoto Kenichi made the first call to Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen didn't pay attention when she saw the call from Japan. She and Liu Qian were mainly responsible for cultural exchanges with Japan. But because of the Five Stars and Twenty-eight Constellations True Shape Map, Liu Zhen saw this completely unfamiliar Japanese mobile phone number and was keenly aware of something.

"Hello, who is this?" Liu Zhen took a deep breath and answered the phone.

Miyamoto Genichi's voice sounded very tired, as if he had aged several years. He said, "Liu Zhenjun, don't you think you need to give me an explanation for this matter?"

Liu Zhenxin said that it was indeed Miyamoto Genichi. She didn't like Miyamoto Xuan at all, so she said directly: "Miyamoto-san, I don't know. I need to explain something to you."

"Wu Daozi's original work, the painting sage's work... you just deceived it from me!"

Liu Zhen said coldly: "Miyamoto-san, don't spit on others with blood. First, this matter does have a little bit to do with me, but whether it is the portrait of Wang Youjun by Yan Liben or the one in your hand, The five-star and twenty-eight constellations picture that is now recognized as an early work of Wu Daozi has not passed through my hands. Secondly, I brought the person there, but I also made it clear to you, he just happened to save me. Daughter, the only thing I know about him is that he is from China and his name is Shi Lei. Everything else is between you. To be honest, if the news hadn't broken out, I wouldn't even be sure about that Shi Lei. Sir, have you ever made an exchange with Miyamoto-san? Thirdly, in Miyamoto-san's mind, it was a very good deal to give away Liang Lingzhan's copy and get Yan Liben's original work. My eyes have not been able to see that it is actually the original work of the painting saint, so you come and say that I lied to you? Miyamoto-san, please be careful with your wording, otherwise, I will report it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country and report it to your country. Complaints were made to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture.”

Miyamoto Genichi was so choked by Liu Zhen's words that he could not speak. Liu Zhen left it very cleanly, and it was impossible to know whether it was true or false. However, even if Liu Zhen knew everything, he must have felt that it was a good deal at the time - of course, this good deal was only for Miyamoto Genichi.

Speaking of which, Miyamoto Genichi really can't blame Liu Zhen.

After coughing twice, Miyamoto Xuan said: "Don't be angry, Mr. Liu Zhen. I just said something indiscriminately. Please forgive me for being abrupt. But no matter what, if something like this happened, regarding the cultural exchanges between your country and our country, It's all a kind of harm. I have no other request, I just want to get the original painting back..."

Liu Zhen's expression suddenly changed and he started scolding: "Miyamoto Kenichi, are you still shameless? You chose to exchange with others at the beginning, and now you find that you have lost money, you want to exchange it back? Besides, are you an old fool? That painting has been auctioned at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong. If you want to exchange it, go find the buyer!”

Miyamoto Genichi said anxiously: "Liu Zhenjun, you..." However, all that came from the phone was a beeping hang-up tone.

Looking at the phone, Liu Zhen had indeed hung up on him, and Miyamoto Kenichi called again.

After Liu Zhen answered the call, she didn't give Miyamoto Genichi any chance to speak. She said, "Miyamoto Genichi, let me make it clear to you for the last time. It doesn't matter whether this painting is still in the hands of Mr. Shi Lei or not. It's my business. If you can, go find him yourself. I've never seen him again except for that day. To put it bluntly, I'm not even sure if his name is Shi Lei. Think about it carefully!" After that, Liu Zhen hung up the phone again.

Miyamoto Xuanyi looked at the phone, speechless after being robbed. At the same time, he also realized that Shi Lei came prepared. At the beginning, he was convinced that the true shape map of the Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Constellations was the work of Wu Daozi, so he was willing to do so. Use Yan Liben's statue of Wang Youjun in exchange for it. Indeed, the names and identities of people who come so prepared may be false. The most important thing is that this matter was kept secret. If word spread, would Miyamoto Kenichi still have this old face?

Although Japan has exploded because of this incident, there is still room for redemption.

Yan Liben certainly cannot match Wu Daozi's status in the history of painting, but the difference is not that far.

What Miyamoto Genichi held in his hand was Yan Liben's portrait of Wang Youjun, which was said to have been lost long ago, while what the Chinese took back was just a work by Wu Daozi when he was about 20 years old, far from mature. In particular, this work is a copy anyway, and it is not Wu Daozi's representative work.

With one rising and the other falling, it is really unknown who should be regarded as a national treasure.

Miyamoto Genichi believes that as long as the explanation is good and the public relations are in place, this portrait of Wang Youjun by Yan Liben can be pushed to a higher peak.

Auction, yes, auction.

The Chinese held an auction to announce to the world that the painting saint Wu Daozi has a work handed down and brought back from Japan. Then, I can also hold an auction to announce that Yan Liben's portrait of Wang Youjun has not been lost, but has been passed down to my hands.

Isn't it just a loss of part of the commission? I can also play the trick of handing over from the left hand to the right hand.

You sold Wu Daozi's early imitation for 163 million, but that was just Wu Daozi's early imitation, just a study. This even explains why there is only the upper scroll but no lower scroll in this painting. It is not a complete work.

And I can sell Yan Liben's masterpiece for 180 million, or even 200 million.

At that time, the whole country will definitely regard me as a national hero. I gave up a study of the painting saint, but got Yan Liben's most mature work in exchange.

Miyamoto Genichi suddenly thought of a way to turn the situation around. He decided to hide the part about Shi Lei and said that he had to sell the Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Mansions True Shape Map, which was believed to be a copy of Liang Lingzan at the time, just to raise money. His purpose was to use the money to buy Yan Liben's portrait of Wang Youjun.

Sotheby's, I want to contact Sotheby's and entrust them to auction this portrait of Wang Youjun by Yan Liben.
