"Well, as long as you can come up with a Picasso work that satisfies me, the bronze head of the zodiac is yours. ”

Sir Owen hesitated slightly, and then agreed, after all, there were many such Chinese antiques and he didn't pay too much attention to it, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the snake's head to the auction for auction.

Picasso's paintings, on the other hand, are unique, and with his prowess, he has searched internationally for so long and found nothing, and today someone finally sent them to his door, so he naturally wanted to do everything he could to stay.

Qin Haodong was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Great, dear sir, you won't regret your decision." ”

Sir Owen said with a look of longing, "Qin, where is the work of Mr. Picasso? I am very anxious to see it now." ”

Qin Haodong took the canvas bag from Nalan Wushuang's hand, opened the zipper, took out the remaining 9 drawings one by one, and placed them on the table very casually.

"Sir Owen, there are 9 drawings here, all of them by Picasso, and you can choose two that you are happy with. ”

Everyone was shocked, Sir Owen, Fred, and Gerrard's eyeballs almost jumped out of their sockets, this is Picasso's painting, and there were 10 pictures at once.

Fred saw that Qin Haodong actually took these scrolls directly with his hands, and hurriedly shouted: "Dear Mr. Qin, you can't do this, these are rare works of art, you can't take them directly with your hands, you should wear white gloves, otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to them......"

Looking at the foreigner who was so anxious that he stomped his feet Nalan Wushuang almost didn't laugh out loud if Fred knew that Qin Haodong would be able to draw one of these paintings in minutes I don t know how he would feel.

But to do a full set of plays, Qin Haodong hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fred, thinking that I will be able to welcome the bronze head of the zodiac back to Huaxia soon, I was a little too excited and ignored this detail, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Fred didn't say anything, he didn't care much now, and set his sights on the nine sketches with Sir Owen and Gerald.

Although these sketches are all black and white, the colors are light and dark, and the layers are clear, and the pictures are drawn with extremely simple strokes that make people crazy.

After more than ten minutes, the three of them finally looked at all nine paintings, and Sir Owen said excitedly: "My God, thank God, I am so lucky to see the works of Master Picasso at once." ”

Gerard said: "That's right, I just saw Mr. Qin take out one, and I was very strange, originally Picasso's paintings appeared in groups." ”

Qin Haodong said: "Sir Owen, have you thought about it, which two are you going to choose?"

Sir Owen said, "My dear dear, I like these nine paintings very much, I really can't choose them, can you exchange them all for me?"

Qin Haodong said with a look of embarrassment: "But I also like the works of Master Picasso very much, and I want to keep some as a collection." ”

After hearing what he said, Sir Owen immediately said with an anxious face: "No, dear Qin, you can't do this, these ten sketches are originally a group, they are the most perfect together, if they are taken apart, it will affect their artistic value." ”

Qin Haodong thought for a while, and said with a very painful look: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't take them apart, I don't know how Sir Owen wants to exchange them with me?"

Hearing that he was willing to exchange with him, Sir Owen immediately smiled and said, "Dear Qin, you are my true friend, you can choose three more satisfactory ones from my collection to take away, what do you think?"

Qin Haodong shook his head and said: "Sir Owen, this is a group of 10 Picasso works, they are not simply stacked together, but will multiply its artistic value and economic value, so I think your proposal is really a bit stingy." ”

Sir Owen also knew that what Qin Haodong said was right, if a Picasso sketch could be sold for 10 million Chinese coins, then a combination of ten paintings together could be sold for 200 million Chinese coins, or even more.

He thought for a moment and said, "Qin, then how do you want to exchange?"

Qin Haodong said: "Seven pieces, in addition to the three sketches of the bronze head of the zodiac that I exchanged with Sir Owen before, I also have seven paintings, each of which will be exchanged with you for a collection." ”

"This ......"

Sir Owen said, "Dear Qin, I think you are asking a little too much, in the words of you Orientals, it is a lion with its mouth wide open.

You must know that every piece in my collection is a fine and very valuable piece, such as the Van Gogh painting, which I also spent a lot of effort to collect into my treasure trove......"

Qin Haodong said: "Don't worry, Sir Owen, I am not interested in your Western artworks, I promise to only choose things that belong to our East, or things that belong to our Chinese, I believe you have a lot of such artworks, and I don't care how many pieces are missing." ”

Hearing Qin Haodong say that he would only choose things that belonged to Huaxia, Sir Owen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, according to what you said, in addition to the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac, you will choose seven more works of art from Huaxia in exchange." ”

Qin Haodong said: "It's such a happy decision, but I still have one condition,"

Thinking of this group of Picasso's paintings, which were immediately his own, Sir Owen was in a good mood, and said with a smile on his face: "Dear Qin, if there are any conditions, you can say that as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you." ”

"I wanted to go to Mr. Owen's treasure room, and I always look at the feeling when I choose products, and I can't choose what I like just by looking at the name in this album. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Sir Owen said, "Well, welcome to my treasure room." ”

If Qin Haodong only had that one sketch of Picasso, he would not agree to let a stranger enter his treasure room, but now that Qin Haodong has a group of ten Picasso works, his identity and status in his heart will immediately become different.

Sir Owen asked the butler Fred to take a bunch of keys and walked with Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushu to his treasure room.

They walked out of the living room, and after walking a short distance, a heavy security door opened, and when they entered, there was nothing but a wooden staircase that led to the ground.

Qin Haodong followed behind Sir Owen and walked towards the basement, the walls on both sides of the staircase were decorated like the living room, resplendent and splendid, but luxurious and elegant, with many murals hanging on the walls.

These murals all exude a more or less aura, and they are obviously valuable antiques.

Soon, after the stairs were completed, they entered the treasure room that Sir Owen had built underground, which was brightly lit and illuminated everything clearly.

Sir Owen did not stop, and after taking Qin Haodong through a short corridor, he came to a security door made of pure steel again.

Fred took out the key and opened the heavy door, and a hot breath came over his face, making him feel like he had arrived in the desert.

Sir Owen said, "Dear Qin, this is my treasure room, which contains the treasures I have collected over the years, and they are now all presented to you. ”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked in, turned on the light on the wall, and the originally dim room suddenly became brighter, and Qin Haodong was shocked to see the scene in front of him.

The underground treasure room was so wide that it was impossible to see the edge, and he wondered if Sir Owen had hollowed out the entire underside of his villa, and how many treasures would be placed in such a large treasure room.

He was just about to step inside, when Sir Owen said, "Qin, wait a minute, I need to turn off the anti-theft system first." ”

After speaking, he operated on a monitor panel at the door for a long time, and then made a dripping sound, and then nodded to signal that Qin Haodong could enter.

For this treasure room, Sir Owen has put a lot of effort into security, and every corner of the treasure room is covered with infrared rays, dense like a spider's web, and even a fly flying in will cause an alarm.

After getting permission, Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang walked forward together, this treasure room is too big, there is no edge to be seen, and everywhere you see is all kinds of collections, I'm afraid that ordinary museums don't have as many collections as he has here.

Moreover, Qin Haodong could feel that most of the things here exuded more or less aura, and only a small part of them were fakes.

Even these fakes are so ingeniously forged that ordinary people can't see them, so it's no wonder Sir Owen's collection has such a high reputation at auction.

Li Dongguo said that Sir Owen's wealth is immeasurable, and so many antiques, if they are taken out for auction, I really can't guess how much they can be sold for.

After taking a few steps forward, Qin Haodong heard a slight sound of a motor, and he followed the sound to see that it was an air dryer in the corner of the wall, no wonder the air here was so dry, basically there would be a machine like this rotating every thirty or forty meters.

Sir Owen followed Qin Haodong's side and said, "Qin, we still have to hurry, there are too many things here. ”

Qin Haodong nodded: "Don't worry, Sir Owen, I only choose things to see the feeling, and the speed is very fast." ”

After saying that, he strode up in the treasure room, and he didn't need to look at the collections on both sides with his eyes at all, he only needed to use the Yuan Shen to sense it.

There are too many good things in the treasure room, the pen wash of the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, the vase of the Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, the colorful vase of Wanli in the Qing Dynasty, and the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.

If Old Man Liu Qigong came here, I am afraid that he would immediately go crazy, but Qin Haodong didn't care about these things, he wanted to choose something similar to the Fu magic wand.

He was fast, and suddenly stopped, looking at the storage shelf on the side.
