617. Successful (6/10)
As soon as he said this, Li Du's mood suddenly became excited. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, he knew that he had to be steady and not be too abnormal, so he waved his hand and said, "No, how can this be embarrassing?"
Jim King grinned and said, "What's so polite about this? Why don't you choose a few oil paintings from me, and take which one you like?" ”
Li Du pondered for a moment and said, "I may be a little too much to do this......
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" said Jim King, graciously, "But, Lee, I hope you can help me explain to Mr. Ferrari that I am friends with you, and this incident has nothing to do with me." ”
Li Du patted his chest and said, "Of course, of course, you definitely have nothing to do with this matter, I swear that the knight will not trouble you in the future." ”
Jim Kim was overjoyed and asked, "Really?"
Li Du said: "I swear I will do my best to help you get the knight, as for the oil paintings I chose, how about these two Van Gogh paintings?"
Jim Kim happily took off the paintings and handed them to him, saying, "Since you like them, they belong to you." ”
Holding these two paintings, Li Duna was terrified, these are not two frames, two paintings, these are tens of millions of dollars!
Jim Kim was very shrewd, and when he saw Li Du holding these two paintings so carefully, he felt a little wrong in his heart and asked, "You seem to like these two paintings very much?"
Li Du said: "I like oil painting now, and I like all your oil paintings here." ”
Jim King asked tentatively, "In that case, I'll give you two paintings?" Actually, I just bought these two paintings and haven't cleaned them yet, so they're not good gifts. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Du immediately understood that because he paid too much attention to these two paintings, he began to doubt them.
Without hesitation, he put the two paintings back on the table and said, "No, forget it, it looks like I'm stealing people's love, right? ”
Seeing him put down the painting so happily, Jim King's suspicion dissipated a lot, and he quickly pushed the oil painting to Li Du and said, "No, no, Li, you misunderstood me, I just want to give you a better gift." ”
He muttered in his heart, these two paintings were received by him from a grocery store, they could never be genuine, just look at the canvas, there are potholes and small grains of sand stuck to them, if the real thing is so badly damaged?
Also, the most fake part of this painting is the signature, Van Gogh was Dutch, and his signature is in Dutch.
It is true that Dutch and English are very similar in terms of grammar and the use of letters. But this is now, not in the nineteenth century.
The Van Gogh signature on these two paintings is large and legible, as if for fear that others would not know that it was a modern signature for the painting in English.
Faced with his re-gift, Li Du didn't accept it, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I'd better buy it myself, there must be a lot of imitations of Van Gogh on the Internet, right?"
Jim King said enthusiastically: "Don't be polite to me, Lee, take them if you like, and if there are any oil paintings you like, you can continue to choose." ”
Li Du had seen it when he released the little flying insect before, and the two paintings here were valuable, and the others were real imitations or fakes, which were not worth anything at all.
However, he still chose two more paintings, still Van Gogh's works, one is "Starry Night" and the other is "Sunflowers".
Jim King personally wrapped up the four paintings and said, "If you want to buy oil paintings in the future, you can contact me, I have a lot of experience in this area." ”
Li Du smiled and said, "I am grateful." ”
Jim King said: "No, no, it's nothing, it's just about Mr. Ferrari......"
He really couldn't worry about it, so he emphasized it again.
Li Du said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ferrari will not trouble you again!"
"That's good, that's good. Jim King's eyes narrowed into slits.
However, this matter could have been solved with two paintings, but he ended up spending four paintings and losing two more paintings in vain, and he couldn't laugh when he thought about it.
These paintings are indeed imitations, they are all fakes, they are not worth much compared to the real thing, but Jim King's collection is a high-end item in imitations, and it is still worth a little money, and each one can sell for at least a thousand dollars.
Seeing him return with two paintings, Hans was surprised and asked, "What is this?
Li Du smiled and said, "How is it possible? This is a gift from Boss Jim Kim. ”
"This old miser would give someone a gift? Then he must be looking for your help. A local treasure hunter pouted and said.
Hans motioned for him to put down the two paintings and take him on his way to the rest of the storehouse.
How could Li Du be in the mood to continue visiting? Anyway, he had seen all the warehouses, and he knew very well what was inside.
He waved his hand and said, "You can just deal with these things, give me a narwhal tooth, and you can do the rest, I'm a little tired, I have to go back." ”
Li Du wants to go back and pack up these two paintings, today's harvest is really great!
Hans was surprised, and said, "You are a little tired, how do I think you seem to be very energetic?"
Li Du said: "I'm tired. ”
Hans: "......"
On the way back, he calls Playboy and asks him to help contact the Knights and stop bothering Jim King anyway.
Playboy said: "After our investigation, this bastard has nothing to do with the kidnapping. ”
Li Du said: "Forget it, anyway, he didn't directly participate, let him go." ”
Whatever it may be, Jim King has paid the price anyway, enough price.
He asked Godzilla to go out and buy a large box and put two genuine paintings in it.
In fact, oil paintings can be detached from the frame and rolled up for carrying.
But he knew that these two paintings were genuine, and they had survived for more than a hundred years, and the canvas probably couldn't stand the toss, so it was more reliable to preserve them so originally.
Hans came back and gave him a list of the gains from the auction in the warehouse.
In addition to the narwhal's teeth, they had an even bigger catch, and that was a box of watch hairsprings.
The hairspring is at the heart of the functioning of mechanical clocks, which relied on pendulums as oscillators to divide and keep time before the invention of the hairspring.
In the 17th century, Huygens invented the hairspring to greatly reduce the size of clocks, and the emergence of this kind of thing was the basis for the emergence of pocket watches and wristwatches, and it was also the end of the glorious era of pendulum clocks.
This thing is very small and miniature, but it is very technical, and the material is also very rare, and these are especially rare for Li Du to get, they come from a Swiss high-end watch supplier company, and they are all valuable goods!
