"But Mr. Helis, we have already paid a large sum of money as payment. Suddenly, the accountant standing aside reminded.

"What?"

"Don't be so surprised, sir, you and Stein, Birch and Sir were all there, and we transferred the money directly through the online bank. ”

"Fake, how could I be so confused?" Helis patted his head, as if thinking of this.

"At that time, the other party said that he was in urgent need of money, so he was willing to give us twice the commission, and you agreed. What the accountant didn't say in his heart was, "At that time, Lao Tzu persuaded you to come, but you still didn't listen, now it's okay, hum." ”

The accountant didn't dare to say much, but he was a little gloating in his heart, anyway, he had real skills, if he couldn't continue here, he could find another job, and he didn't mind at all.

"Damn, Helis, what now, do you have to lose money? That's a lot of money, that man sent more than thirty oil paintings, and on average, one of them sold for 20 million pounds, which is 600 million pounds, although we took a lot of commission from it, but compared with such a large amount of money, it was too far away to suffer this secret loss. Stein said chagrined.

Don't forget, the buyers who came here today are some powerful figures, and if they want to join forces to kill us, we won't even have a chance to turn over. Helis yelled.

"Don't make any noise, that kid seems to be moving again. Bo Xihe said suddenly.

"Bastard! what is he going to do!" Helis slapped the table, almost angry.

But he looked at the monitor. found that the originally chaotic auction hall was quiet, and Zhang Tianyuan was holding an oil painting in his hand. An oil painting by Picasso worth about $80 million.

Genuine oil paintings!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this painting was originally a fluke that I got when I came to London. The real paintings that belong to Picasso's masters, to be honest, I don't want to part with them, but as a person who likes art, as a collector expert, I think I should take something out so that everyone can calm down. Zhang Tianyuan looked at the people in the audience, and carefully held the painting in his hand, this thing is a real Picasso work. If it breaks, it's a big loss.

"What do you mean, do you want to auction live?"

"Yes, this gentleman is very smart, I do want to auction live, we Chinese believe in some things, such as Chongxi." There have been enough bad things today, and if there can be a successful auction, I believe everyone's mood will be better. Of course, no one needs it. Or if the auctioneer doesn't want to, then I can give up. Zhang Tianyuan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Just make sure you're genuine, of course we want it, if the auction house doesn't want to. We can go somewhere else. ”

"Haha, if it's genuine, you can ask an expert you trust to come up and take a look. I don't count. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Helis, is that all he going to do?"

"Let him auction it. Anyway, it doesn't get in the way of our business, and it just saves us a little time. Now immediately have someone re-appraise the rest of the lots. Don't leave any more fakes behind, or you'll be in big trouble. Helis thought for a moment.

"Yes, today's matter is full of evil, so it's better to leave the lot to confirm the authenticity, and take back the rest, but don't destroy it, maybe you can use it in the future." Stein nodded as well.

"I agree!"

Their approval allowed Zhang Tianyuan's auction to proceed, but Helis was afraid that he would regret his decision again.

Soon, the buyers consulted and selected three experts that they considered more authoritative.

But interestingly, two of these three people didn't go up at all.

One is John Frank Lampard.

"I've seen the painting, it's definitely Picasso's work, and my estimate is about $80 million. ”

The other is Amer Sloan.

"I can confirm that too. ”

Although this guy really didn't want to admit that the thing was real, considering that his deal had not yet been reached with Zhang Tianyuan, he didn't dare to offend Zhang Tianyuan at all, otherwise, if Zhang Tianyuan suddenly regretted it, then he would be depressed.

Only one expert didn't know Zhang Tianyuan, but after carefully looking at the painting, he nodded with certainty and said: "There is no doubt about the authenticity, and my estimate is higher than John's estimate, about 90 million US dollars, after all, this painting has never appeared, the color is so rich and harmonious, it is really rare, it gives me the feeling that this is a fine product that can only be created by Picasso at the peak of his master." ”

Zhang Tianyuan realized a problem, in the process of completing the final coloring of these paintings, he used earth qi and tonic skills, and as a result, the painting was too perfect, and even the level exceeded the level of Picasso himself, which was actually a flaw.

Fortunately, Picasso has too high a status in the eyes of Westerners, and they will never approve that there are posterity who can imitate works better than Picasso himself, so this flaw will not be exposed.

OK.

"Mr. from China, how much does this painting of yours cost at a discount?" someone asked.

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head with a smile and said: "I'm sorry everyone, I don't need money for this painting, I just need to barter, so if you want to bid, you can take out the Chinese antiques you own, no matter what, as long as I think the value is comparable, then this painting will belong to you." ”

"Can you ask something? Why are you doing this?"

An old woman with gray hair who looked to be in her sixties while sitting not far from He Chong raised her glasses and asked.

"Let's put it this way, I am a Chinese, but also a patriotic Chinese, and I am also a patriotic Chinese who loves collecting. My dream is to collect Chinese antiques from all over the world in my museum and return them to my homeland, which is my lifelong wish!" Zhang Tianyuan said impassionedly.

"Young man, it's good to have ideas, but you also have to be capable. ”

"Of course, I am self-aware, and if I hadn't been self-aware, I wouldn't be here today, and maybe I'd still be working as a shopkeeper in my hometown antique shop. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, I think so." ”

"Well, I see, you go ahead. The old man nodded, a faint smile in the corner of his eyes, but it was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

"Grandma Zhang, why did you remember to ask him that kind of thing?" He Chong asked the woman in a low voice.

"It's not that you don't know about our family, just like your old lady, my old lady also plans to hand over his things to someone who is proper for safekeeping, and I'm also worried. The old man sighed.

"Oh, I see, you're testing him, no wonder you didn't let me tell him your identity just now. He Chong said with a smile.

"Alright, let's see how he looks. The old man smiled.

"I said Grandma Zhang, don't look at it, just now he pointed out so many fakes, just this point, even the old lady Zhang Zongxian can't do it, right?" He Chong said with a smile.

"The old lady's ability to identify artefacts, especially porcelain and miscellaneous, has earned him the trust and respect of collectors all over the world. In recent decades, many collectors in Hong Kong and Treasure Island have been his guests and partners, and many auction records have been set by his auction cards. He proudly said that over the years, most of the best and most expensive Chinese antiques I bought from all over the world. Therefore, for a period of time, the three words 'Zhang Zongxian' have become a major brand in the antiques industry in Greater China, and have become the guests of honor in the world's major auction companies: when you collect things, he has strange goods to live in, and when you auction things, he dares to pay for them. What auction company wouldn't welcome such a client who continues to bring in lucrative commissions!"

"He once tried his best to promote Christie's and other international auction companies to settle in Hong Kong, making Hong Kong from a distribution center of Chinese antiques to one of the world's exchange centers for cultural relics and art; he tried his best to support the nascent auction companies in Chinese mainland to start and develop rapidly, making the imperial capital equal to Hong Kong, London, and New York in the Chinese cultural relics and art market. 'sky-high prices', so that Chinese cultural relics and artworks have the same conditions as Western cultural relics and artworks...... The revival of the cultural relics and art market in Chinese mainland is only a decade, the prosperity of the cultural relics and art market in Hong Kong and Treasure Island is only a few decades, and the entry of Chinese cultural relics and artworks into the high-end areas of the international market is only a few decades...... The sky had just turned white, and the east had already woken up, and the old lady was a touch of the morning light, but it was very agitated and bright. ”

Speaking of this, tears welled up in the corners of the old man's eyes.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that people always get old, and he can't keep doing it. This Zhang Tianyuan, also surnamed Zhang, looks at his style, even more powerful than the old lady, I think, he may really be able to replace the old lady and become the most powerful collector in the Chinese circle! But it will take time. ”

"Say something you don't like to hear, Grandma Zhang, I think this kid is only afraid that he is more terrible than Mrs. Zhang, he is too versatile, he is almost all good at gambling, jade, jade, and antiques, anyway, I think this kid's future success will surpass Mrs. Zhang." Don't be in a hurry to object, whether you plan to cooperate with him or not, anyway, I have made up my mind, those things of my old lady, put them in his hands, I really feel more at ease!" He Chong rubbed his nose and said with a smile. (To be continued......)
