Chapter 1075 "The Savior of the World"

……

He wondered, how could Liu Dong, as an excellent collector, buy such a clumsy work?

And just when Eskenazi looked at it a few more times out of politeness and was about to return the painting to Liu Dong, the hand that was about to be stretched out suddenly paused!

"Huh!"

After being stunned for a while, Eskenazi, whose face changed, hurriedly and carefully put the oil painting on an empty table next to him. Then, he quickly took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at the corners of the painting little by little.

As time went on, the expression on Dennis Eskenazi's face became more and more solemn, and the magnifying glass in his hand moved more and more slowly. Many times, in order to further identify, he will even repeat it back and forth, to examine, to check.

From the other party's actions, Liu Dong also understood that with Eskenazi's identification level, he must have seen the clues!

At this time, from his movements, it also made everyone present understand that this painting is certainly not as simple as it seems.

However, compared to the curiosity of the others, a middle-aged white man about fifty years old who came in with Eskenazi did not look very good.

Especially after seeing Eskenazi's cautious expression of this oil painting, the other party quickly moved to the counter and communicated with the young man who was watching all this curiously.

Although their voices were deliberately suppressed, Liu Dong's ears, which were more than ten times sharper than ordinary people, still heard the content of their conversation very clearly.

From these conversations, Liu Dong understood that this white man in his fifties was the father of the young man and the real owner of the antique shop.

I glanced at it and got it from my son's mouth. After the news that the painting had been completed, after the middle-aged white man whose face instantly became gloomy, Liu Dong smiled indifferently and did not speak.

"Xiaodong, is this painting also an antique? I saw that he had been looking at it with a magnifying glass for more than an hour!" Mei Xue whispered in Liu Dong's ear.

"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded.

"Is that worth more than the inner painting snuff bottle of Ma Shaoxuan we found?" Mei Xue said curiously.

"The price of Ma Shaoxuan's snuff bottle has increased by more than a thousand times, which is the market price of this painting!"

That being said. But Liu Dong understands that Leonardo da Vinci's authentic works are completely priceless in today's art auction market.

Even if someone pays a billion dollars, no one will necessarily make a move.

Because, anyone who can own a painting of this level is basically not short of money.

"A thousand times! 200 million dollars?" Mei Xue, who reacted, covered her mouth with a shocked face, blocking all the shock in her heart.

Looking at his delicate appearance, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say much!

"Hello, sir!"

That's when it happened. The middle-aged white man who was the owner of the shop walked up to Liu Dong with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter?" Liu Dong said indifferently.

First of all, I'm very sorry. The painting you just bought is not for sale in our shop, and my son didn't know about it just now, so he sold it to you in my absence. I apologize to you for the trouble he has caused you!However, in order to compensate you for your losses, we are willing to compensate you for ten times the purchase price!" the middle-aged man said humbly.

A painting that deserves to be treated so seriously by Eskenazi. It must have been a masterpiece of Picasso and Titian. The work of a character of this level, let alone ten times the price. Even if it is twenty times, thirty times, as long as this painting can be taken back from Liu Dong's hands, the middle-aged shopkeeper will not hesitate!

"Not for sale, ten times the compensation?" Liu Dong repeated amusemently, and continued, "Do you think I'm a fool? Whether your painting is not for sale or not, I have already paid for it. According to the law of contract, it is now mine, and has nothing to do with you for a penny. If you insist on misunderstanding, that's okay. See you in court!"

It's all on him to make a bargain, can this kind of thing still make Liu Dong and him happy?

Dream on!

Of course, Liu Dong's words also instantly made the middle-aged boss's face turn pale.

The toughness of the other party was really unexpected by him, and there was no Chinese that middle-aged bosses usually saw, or the humility that is often common in Chinese!

But even if he was angry in his heart, Liu Dong's words made him understand that this oil painting did not belong to him at all. No matter which country it is, after the normal transaction between the two parties, it is impossible to ask the buyer to return the goods because of a misunderstanding!

Neither legal nor moral, impossible!

Liu Dong didn't bother to take care of this guy who saw the money and wanted to take advantage of him.

As he turned his head, he saw that Eskenazi was taking a deep breath at the moment. From the behavior of his hands trembling a little when he stood up, Liu Dong understood that the other party must have seen some doorways.

Really!

"Mr. Liu, I personally like this painting very much. If Mr. Liu doesn't mind, I'm willing to buy it for £1 million!" Dennis Eskenazi tried to keep his tone calm.

However, Liu Dong, who was meticulous in his observation, had already discovered the excitement that had not yet disappeared in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I also like this painting, and I have no plans to sell it for the time being!"

Looking at Liu Dong shaking his head, Eskenazi hurriedly said, "How about 5 million pounds?"

"Ahh

The middle-aged boss who exclaimed in surprise regretted it in his heart at the moment!

Five million pounds, that's five million pounds! It's worth more than everything in his whole store combined! As a result, because he has no eyes, he has priced such a huge treasure at the price of 1,200 pounds of cabbage, and now it is in the hands of someone else.

This feeling is like someone stabbing him twice, and it hurts to death!

Eskenazi didn't seem to care about the exclamations of the people next to him, his eyes were still firmly fixed on Liu Dong, and the look of longing could even be seen from Mei Xue next to him on his face.

However, it was great regret in Eskenazi's heart that Liu Dong still shook his head firmly.

"If Mr. Liu is not satisfied with the price, we can discuss ...... again!"

After waving his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Liu Dong said directly: "Mr. Eskenazi, I'm very sorry, I personally like this oil painting, and I have no intention of making a move!"

Liu Dong's categorical words made Dennis Eskenazi understand that he was really hopeless this time!

At the same time, he also understood that Liu Dong must be the same as him, and he also saw the clues in this painting! That's why his attitude was so firm.

But at this moment, he had the idea of what to expect, thinking that Liu Dong might simply think that the level of this painting was good, so he wanted to keep it in his hand and play for a while, and then wait until he was tired of playing before making a move.

Although the latter possibility is low, Eskenazi still does not want to give up that hope. Therefore, he did not intend to say the meaning of the origin of this painting on the spot, and still hoped to get it from Liu Dong in the future.

"That's a pity! If Mr. Liu has any plans to sell this painting in the future, please remember to contact me!" Eskenazi, who said this, had already decided in his heart that he would often go to China to chat with Liu Dong if he had nothing to do.

If nothing else, just for this painting!

"Okay, if I really plan to sell this painting, I will definitely contact Mr. Eskenazi!" Liu Dong smiled indifferently.

Although he said this, Liu Dong knew it best in his heart. When this painting is in my own hands, it will definitely not enter the market again!

But he was also happy that Eskenazi 'pretended to be confused'! Otherwise, if he said that the painting was the posthumous work of Leonardo da Vinci. That doesn't have to wait until the next day, just for the rest of the day, the phone call is enough to blow up his phone.

Even when leaving customs, they are subject to strict inspection by British customs. Artwork of this caliber would not normally be allowed out of the UK!

And now those worries are gone!

"This is my business card, if Mr. Liu wants to sell this painting, he can call me at any time!"

"Thank you!"

After exchanging business cards, Eskenazi immediately realized the importance of strengthening ties with Liu Dong and becoming friends.

Only more fetters and more friendship can make the process of getting this painting smoother.

So when Eskenazi was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Liu is coming to London this time ......?"

"Oh, I promised a friend to come to the Royal Horse Race in Berkshire!" Liu Dong said without concealment.

"Royal Jockey Club? I didn't expect Mr. Liu to like horseback riding?"

"I like it very much!" Liu Dong said.

"Hehe, it seems that our hobbies are quite similar, if Mr. Liu has time, I would be very willing to compete with Mr. Liu in equestrian play!" said Eskenazi.

"It's my honor!" Liu Dong said politely.

Nodding, Eskenazi beckoned. Soon, the middle-aged secretary who followed him immediately took out two invitations from the black leather bag he carried with him and handed them to his boss.

"There's going to be a charity auction at my house tonight!" I'd like to invite Mr. Liu, and this beautiful lady next to you, to participate, I wonder if Mr. Liu would like to see it?" said Eskenazi.

After glancing at the gorgeous golden invitation in his hand, Liu Dong smiled: "I am very willing, it is my honor to receive Mr. Eskenazi's invitation!"

Hearing his words, the smile on Dennis Eskenazi's face immediately increased. (To be continued.) )
