Chapter 145 Lunch on the Grass

Swiss Bank Weglin welcomes its largest business since its opening.

The value of the items entrusted to custody is the first, the premium is the first, and the storage period is the first.

Lu Yongzhi paid the custody fee for sixty years in one lump sum, and paid 600,000 francs at an annual amount of 10,000 yuan.

Ten years was exactly the right time for him. At that time, a new China had been established and the country had ended the war for exactly twenty years.

Originally, Lu Yongzhi proposed to buy it out for 500,000 francs at one time. But the bankers were not stupid. They thought of the depreciation of prices. The final agreed price was 10,000 francs per year, and the contract also stipulated that if the extension was required, the storage fee would still be calculated based on 10,000 francs per year.

The same is true for the insurance company. The one-time transaction insurance premium is 200,000 francs.

The bank promised them that in the future, the bank would accept all items shipped in the name of the foundation.

With this opportunity, I opened a private account at Weglin Bank and entrust them to keep the artwork I acquired, which cost another 200,000 francs.

Later I heard that the Weglin Bank celebrated this for three days, and 600,000 francs were equivalent to their profits in one year. It was only many years later that they realized that they did not take advantage. According to the conservative market value, this batch of cultural relics had exceeded 10 billion yuan.

The bank’s boss once asked Lu Yongzhi privately, why did you choose so many international banks, just our Swiss local bank?

Lu Yongzhi said incredibly: "Our ancient East has left behind an ancient book of numerology and calculation, which is equivalent to your Western divination techniques. According to calculations, your bank has a history of 276 years from its opening to its closure. Moreover, your closure is not due to its own reasons, but from its power and power of the country."

The Swiss Weglin Bank was indeed closed in 2012. Because they refused to disclose the bank fund information of more than 100 Americans, they were sued by the United States and found that they assisted Americans in tax evasion.

The lawsuit was filed in the United States and was sentenced in the United States. In the end, Weglin Bank lost the case and was fined more than 50 million US dollars, so it had to announce a permanent closure.

The boss Xing looked shocked and asked repeatedly: "Can we really have so many years of survival?"

According to your Westerners, it was God who guided us here." Lu Yongzhi still looked mysterious.

In a day, I just got 200,000 silver from the bank, which was equivalent to 4 million francs and all of them were used cleanly.

Lu Yongzhi sent a telegram to Richard again, asking whether his mother's money had arrived. If it had arrived, please continue to grant a credit of 200,000 yuan.

Chad's callback is interesting:

What did you do to my country? Did you buy Versailles or Boulogne Forest? How could you spend 4 million francs in a few days? Why didn’t you have any news? Don’t worry about money. You have a good mother who sent 400,000 yuan to your account. You withdraw money directly from the Bank of France.

Wow, this mother is really good. As long as she opens her mouth, she will have all her wealth. It is estimated that 400,000 yuan is already her wealth. If she doesn't make it easy, she will still owe debts.

I sent a telegram to me to care about my family situation.

Unexpectedly, my mother called back soon. There was a telegraph bureau in Longzhou, and she had to go to Guilin even if she transferred money to the bank. She didn't ask Lu Yongzhi what he wanted for money? She just said that her family still had more than 100,000 yuan in cash and she didn't have enough money to transfer it.

My mother is really a money printing machine. If the old man had asked her to be the home at the beginning, now in Guangxi, at least in Nanning, it would have been counted as No. 1.

Switzerland returned to Paris again, and the first thing he received was a telegram from Tang Haoming. Lu Yongzhi had already made an intention to inquire about the Mauser factory. Mauser's company was willing to transfer the latest firearms and provide technical support. For details, please ask him to go to Germany to have a direct interview.

After this telegram, Lu Yongzhi felt confident.

Leo, who had not shown up, ran over, carrying a painting in his hand, covering it with cloth. He saw Sheng Si not at home, and said mysteriously: "I have been busy for a few days, and finally got your business done."

What's the matter? What's my matter?" Lu Yongzhi asked with a surprised look.

"Didn't you say you want to go to Boulogne Forest? How can you go there without preparing?" Leo also had a surprised expression in turn.

The first thing I heard about the name of Boulogne is from Richard's mouth. He said that not going to the Boulogne Forest in France means not seeing the true French culture.

Come, and I heard others say that Boulogne Forest is a huge playground, with racetracks, zoos, casinos, theaters, etc. He didn't care much. Now seeing Leo's face as mysterious as he looked, he asked: "

I just said it. Is this Boulogne Forest that mysterious? Isn’t it just a large amusement park?”

Leo didn't say a word, took out the painting from behind, gently removed the outer packaging, and spread it in front of Lu Yongzhi.

This is an oil painting. There are four people in the picture, two men and two women. The two men are well-dressed nobles. The main position of the picture is a naked woman. It can be said that she is a noble lady or a prostitute. Two men and one woman sit together, and there is a woman with unknown meaning behind it looking for something on the ground.

A woman with fair skin formed a visual impact with the dark-toned forest and the gentlemen's black suits.

These four people are doing one thing, outdoor lunch.

O'Nei said proudly: "Manet's famous paintings, lunch on the grass. It was originally collected by Colonel Leber. The Colonel specially asked me to give them to you."

Landing Yongzhi still looked puzzled.

"This is the Boulogne Forest." Leo finally couldn't help but scream. Look.

After this painting, Lu Yongzhi finally understood the essence of French culture and the fact that not going to the Boulogne Forest is equivalent to not coming to France. This is what he meant.

This is the portrayal of the aristocratic life in the upper class of France, which is actually the same as what I saw at the Royal Palace Theater that day."

Why did the Colonel give me this painting?" Lu Yongzhi asked. Lei

Ozhi said hesitantly: "I said I wanted to go to Boulogne Forest. In addition, I said you bought a villa, and I didn't say you bought this one. The colonel said congratulations to you on your house move."

"Oh, okay. I accepted it and thank the Colonel for me."

I also collected several of Manet's poems. Since this is his representative work, let's leave it behind.

"I'm leaving, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. What's the matter with her?" Lei

Ao asked.

"I'll find a way." Lu Yongzhi replied briefly.

At this time, the doorbell rang. Leo opened the door. It turned out to be the taciturn young man who came together, Lealton, who was studying at the Paris Medical College.

When Erton saw Leo, he was stunned. He had seen him at the station and took his car to the school.

He stammered and said, "You have something to do, so I'll come back in a while."

"No, I'm going to go out." Leo let him in and went out by himself."

That's right, Mr. Lu, is Miss Sheng here? I have something to ask her for help." Learton rubbed his hands and said.

"Oh, she hasn't come back yet. Will she tell me? I'll tell you." Lu Yongzhi asked the maid to make tea while asking him to sit down.

"That's right. My wallet was stolen when I went out in the morning. Several people were a little tight on their hands. I would like to ask Miss Sheng to turn around." Learton said with a embarrassed look on his face.

"Oh, that's it." Lu Yongzhi pulled out two thousand francs and handed them to him. "Is it enough?"

No need to have so much, two hundred is enough, and I will send it to my home next month.”

"Take it. If there is one, return it to Miss Sheng, forget it if there is no." Lu Yongzhi stuffed the banknotes into his hands."

What a decadent life, it’s really social injustice.” Learton looked at the painting and sighed in a low voice.
