Chapter 624: Picasso's Painting
Tian Ye was slightly stunned, originally thought that Qin Haodong was looking for him to ask for help, but he didn't expect to ask this question?
Could it be that the young man on the other side wants Sir Owen to protect him, but he offends Master Yichenzi, I'm afraid Sir Owen can't help.
Besides, he only had business dealings with Sir Owen, and he had nothing to do with it at all, and no one would help him.
However, Qin Haodong asked, and he could only answer, saying: "I have only met Sir Owen a few times, and I am not familiar with it at all, and Sir Owen, a little person like me, will not look at it."
In the past, when Sir Owen held auctions with us, it was his butler Mr. Fred who contacted me, so we knew each other very well and were good friends."
Qin Haodong said: "That's enough, I just want to ask Sir Owen if there is any bronze statue of the zodiac in his hand, is there any news about this?"
Looking at Qin Haodong with a longing face, Tian Ye's heart was full of helplessness, it seems that this young man has not yet realized his situation, because a snake head has already offended Yichenzi, what he should think about most now is how to resolve the anger of Master Yichenzi, why do you still think about the bronze statue of the zodiac?
He said: "Mr. Qin, don't be upset if I say something, I think you should contact the chairman immediately, he has a good relationship with Master Cha, and Master Cha is the younger brother of Master Yichenzi."
If Master Cha is willing to mediate, and you give that snake head to Master Yichenzi, today's grievances can still be resolved, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. ”
Qin Haodong was stunned for a while, he was eager to get another beast head, but he didn't expect Tian Ye to bring the topic to this.
How is it possible to find Master Cha to mediate the relationship between him and Yi Chenzi? Now if you want to find Master Cha, you can only go to the Netherworld Mansion.
He said: "Manager Tian, I have received your wishes, but you don't have to worry about Yichenzi's affairs, I can handle it myself, you first tell Sir Owen if he still has the bronze head of the zodiac in his hand?"
Seeing that Qin Haodong couldn't listen to his advice, Tian Ye could only sigh and say, "Once when I was drinking with Fred, he was drunk, and I once mentioned that Sir Owen had two Zodiac Bronze Beasts in his hands, and one was auctioned today, and it is likely that there is still one in his hand. ”
"Really? It's so good. ”
Hearing that Sir Owen still has a bronze head of the zodiac in his hand, Qin Haodong is full of excitement, if he can get two high-grade rough stones, he will be able to break through to the late stage of Jindan, with the purity of Aoki's longevity skills, he will definitely be able to be invincible below the saint when the time comes.
He asked excitedly, "Manager Tian, is there a way for Sir Owen to take out that bronze hand for auction?"
Tian Ye shook his head and said, "What to sell is completely up to Sir Owen himself, even Fred can only follow the arrangement, how can I have a way." ”
Qin Haodong said again: "Then can you help me buy the rest of the Zodiac Bronze Head?" no matter how much money it is. ”
"It's also unlikely. "Sir Owen is a well-known collector, and his family is so wealthy that they are not short of money, and they only put them up for auction when they are bored with certain collections, and it is almost impossible to buy a single thing from him."
And as a steward, it was his duty to keep the secret for his master, and Fred had only drunk too much before he had said that Sir Owen had two bronze heads of the zodiac.
If we rush to the door to buy, not only will we not get anything, but on the contrary, we will cheat Fred, and I don't know if he will lose the position of the chief butler. ”
Qin Haodong also realized that this method was not appropriate, and said: "Manager Tian, you are an expert in this area, help me think of a way, how to buy the remaining Zodiac Bronze Head from Sir Owen's hands?"
Judging from Sir Owen's sale of the snake's head, he didn't attach much importance to these things, but they were extremely precious to Qin Haodong.
Tian Ye said: "Sir Owen is a big collector, and these successful collectors rarely sell their collections, and generally use them as gifts for friends or exchange them with other people.
If Mr. Qin wants to get another bronze head of the Chinese zodiac, the best thing to do is to find something that interests Sir Owen and then exchange the collection with him. ”
"This way you can. Qin Haodong said, "Manager Tian, do you know what Sir Owen's favorite thing is? In other words, what can I get from him in exchange for the Zodiac Bronze Head?"
Tian Ye said: "Sir Owen is a collector, and due to historical reasons, he has the most antiques from China in his inventory, so it is not easy to use our Chinese things to interest him.
As a great collector, Sir Owen lacked European antiquities the most, and he was very fond of them.
Mr. Fred told me that Sir Owen liked Picasso's paintings the most, but that he regretted that his collection was rich, but there were no Picasso's works.
That's why he told me several times that if a Picasso painting appeared at auction, he had to inform Sir Owen in advance and buy it no matter how much it was.
If Mr. Qin can have Picasso's works in his hands, not to mention that the bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac are precious things, you can exchange them from Sir Owen. ”
Qin Haodong was happy in his heart, if he wanted to get other antiques, it might be more difficult, but if he talked about ancient paintings, he simply brought his own processing factory, and he could make a batch at will.
After Tian Ye finished speaking, he shook his head again, "This is simply unlikely, although Picasso has many paintings during his lifetime, but compared to the world's antique lovers, there are still very few, and all his works have been collected, and they have not appeared in international auctions for many years." ”
Qin Haodong said: "Manager Tian, I happen to have some Picasso paintings at home, I will bring them to you in a few days and ask you to help me identify them, and if you can, contact Sir Owen and exchange them with him." ”
"What...... What?"
Tian Ye almost didn't bite his tongue, he never thought that Qin Haodong really had Picasso's paintings, and some of them were what the hell, could it be said that he didn't just have one in his hand, but also a lot?
Qin Haodong stood up and said, "Manager Tian, thank you for helping me so much, I'll go back first today, and we'll get in touch another day." ”
"Wait a minute. Tian Ye hurriedly said, "Mr. Qin, if I'm not mistaken, Master Yichenzi will definitely be waiting for you outside, if you go out now, it will be very dangerous, or hide here with me for a while." ”
Qin Haodong smiled, "What is this called? I can't hide from you all the time, and I'm just a dusty man, it's nothing great." ”
After speaking, he took Nalan Wushuang and walked out of the door, and Tian Ye hurriedly said: "Mr. Qin, wait a minute, I will gather all the bodyguards in the store and let them escort you together." ”
"It really doesn't have to, we can do it ourselves. ”
Qin Haodong waved his hand at Tian Ye, and then strode out of his office.
Tian Ye didn't understand where this young man's confidence came from, and he didn't even put Master Yichenzi in his eyes at all, and after pondering for a moment, he picked up his mobile phone, since he couldn't help, then hurry up and report to Old Man Li.
As soon as Qin Haodong and the others drove away from the auction hall, Li Meiyu's phone called, and he said hurriedly: "Haodong, what did you do? I heard that you offended Master Yichenzi again in the store?"
Qin Haodong smiled and said: "That old god pretended to be a big name, and he had to use the reserve price to take the snake's head, and I snatched it." ”
Li Meiyu hurriedly said: "Haodong, why are you still laughing? Let me tell you, Yichenzi is much more powerful than Master Cha, he is Master Cha's senior brother, since you have offended him, he will definitely take revenge on you." ”
Qin Haodong said indifferently: "It's just an old god stick, what's the big deal, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
He really didn't take Yichenzi in his eyes, he had a powerful Yuan Shen as the foundation, and when it came to Xuanmen techniques, few people could surpass him.
Li Meiyu said: "Okay, you should be more careful. ”
Now that Master Cha is dead, it is good that their Li family is not angered by Mei Shulong, and this matter really can't help much.
hung up the phone, but Qin Haodong did not return to the Li family's villa, and drove out of the city directly, choosing an extremely remote place to stop.
Nalan Wushuang asked, "What are you going to do here?"
Qin Haodong said: "Since there is trouble, it is better to solve it as soon as possible." ”
He still has a lot of things to do, such as improving his cultivation, such as getting another Zodiac Bronze Head from Sir Owen, and it is better to solve the trouble like Yi Chenzi as soon as possible.
After getting in the car, he felt the breath of Yi Chenzi, so he drove the car directly outside the city to create an opportunity for the other party to make a move.
After speaking, he got out of the car, turned his head to the dark place and said, "Since I have been following for so long, come out quickly, don't grind, I'm still in a hurry." ”
Nalan Wushuang also got out of the car, holding the Zen staff in his hand, and after Qin Haodong finished speaking, she saw a figure slowly emerging from the darkness and walking in front of the two people, it was Yichenzi with a gloomy face.
Yi Chenzi stared at Qin Haodong with a cold expression, and said murderously: "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Qin Haodong said: "I know, aren't you just an old god, swaggering and deceiving all day long, claiming to be a master, but doing ninth-rate things." ”
"Boy, you're looking for death. Yi Chenzi said, "Hand over that snake head, and I can consider sparing your life." ”
"Hand over the snake head, are you joking? If you give it to you now, why did I spend money to buy it just now?" Qin Haodong said, "Don't you just want to rob my things? ”
