657.Sell Out (1/5)

Just like Li Du knows, the two oil paintings are genuine, and the appraisal results prove this, and the opinions given by all the experts are very unanimous, these are the two original Van Gogh works that were lost!

At the end of the appraisal, they no longer focused on each other, but rushed to congratulate Li Du:

"Mr. Lee, I must say that you are the envy of all of us. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Not only do we envy, but there are definitely a lot of big collectors and collectors in the world who are also envious of you, two genuine Van Gogh paintings!"

"Mr. Li, are you interested in handing over the two paintings to Christie's? If they participate in next year's spring auction, I bet they will be stars!"

Christie's Spring and Autumn auctions are some of the biggest auctions in the world, with this year's winners and record-breaking prices in each case.

But there are still three or four months before the spring auction, and Li Du can't wait, he needs to exchange these paintings for money, and then go to buy the shares of Hairui Group.

He smiled at the experts' congratulations and invited them to lunch.

He had asked Hans to book a hotel for him, at the famous Golden Aquitaine restaurant in Flagpole City.

The subject of the meal was the two paintings, and several experts learned that he was in a hurry to sell the two paintings for money, and began to scramble to help him find a buyer.

In the collectibles trade, intermediaries are also profitable, and once the transaction of such famous paintings worth tens of millions is successful, they can get hundreds of thousands or even millions of intermediary fees.

The initiative changed hands, and now Li Du has become the focus, and the group is almost about to hold him to the sky.

According to the estimates of the two experts, the more valuable of the two paintings is "Scheveningen Beach", which is larger and more ornamental, although it was created earlier.

Especially those small grains of sand on the canvas, which add a legendary touch to the portrait.

The grains of sand did not destroy the canvas and became a testimony of time and history, they accompanied Van Gogh to complete the painting, they blew against Van Gogh with the sea breeze, a scene too precious for collectors and artists.

According to the two experts' estimates, "Scheveningen Beach" is about $30 million, and "Leaving the Church of Nieernen" is much cheaper, worth about 15 million to 20 million.

Van Gogh's oil paintings are very popular in the art market, and neither price is a big deal.

Back in 1987, "Iris" sold for $53.9 million, and "Sunflower" sold for $39.5 million in the same year.

By 1990, "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" had sold to a Japanese collector for $82.5 million, and in late 1998, "Self-Portrait Without a Beard" had sold for another $71.5 million.

Now, a "Daisy and Poppies" has reappeared on the market, and Christie's is giving a warm-up promotion to the painting, which will not be auctioned in the near future, but will be left for later.

Professor Kevin and others, who work for Christie's and are technical backbones, know more than the outside world, and they revealed at dinner that the auction house had confidence in the painting.

Li Du asked, "How much does the auction house estimate to be able to fetch it?"

"The goal is 60 million. Professor Kevin said.

Li Du grinned, as if for the art collection market, money is no longer money!

Others can also grin at the price of his two paintings, which together are worth at least 40 million dollars, which is not enough money for 99.9 percent of the world's people to earn in their lifetime!

Knowing that he was willing to sell these two paintings, these experts had no heart to eat, and they were all using their connections to sell these two paintings.

They know a lot of collectors, collection institutions, and a lot of local tyrants, and they also have a lot of friends who are engaged in related industries, which are all network resources.

As long as you can reach customers, no matter how many people have to help, they can make money, and it's a lot of money, so why not?

Perhaps in the world of art collecting, money is no longer money, and tens of millions are casually thrown out.

But no one is stupid, and money is not printed by a money printing press, so it is not easy to sell two paintings, at least not in a day or two.

Li Du collected the two paintings, settled the accounts with the two groups of experts, and then prepared to fly to Las Vegas to deal with the fire opal he got this time.

In the twenty days before and after, he had gained quite a lot, and a safe was full of crystal clear gems, many of which were treasures.

These gems can also be exchanged for a lot of money when sold, no worse than two paintings, which can help him start buying shares.

He is anxious to buy equity because Hairui Group is now in a difficult situation, and a large number of shareholders are selling their shares at low prices, which is a good opportunity to buy equity.

This is like buying a house, now that house prices are decreasing, many people's thoughts are to buy up or down, but Li Du is different, he buys down, because he believes that he can stop falling.

Li Du has determined his current development direction, first to dig opal, after digging opal and then to find other gemstones, with enough gemstones, Hairui Group will definitely be able to come back to life.

Knowing that he was leaving, Sophie was very dissatisfied, took his hand and said, "We're all going to be long-distance couples, dear, what can we do?"

Li Du comforted her and said, "I'll make money first, and when we are financially free, I'll take you with me wherever I go, okay?"

Sophie was a little confused: "Do you want to be financially free? Actually, my salary is quite high, and I have a house, or should I sell it? ”

Li Dugan said with a smile: "The financial freedom I am talking about is to have hundreds of millions of disposable money. ”

With the gem harvest and getting the famous paintings, his heart was already wild.

Sophie thought he was joking and smiled: "Okay, okay, you go and make your hundreds of millions of dollars, but this time you go to Las Vegas, you have to be careful!"

Li Du snapped his fingers, Brother Wolf turned out of the corner, looked at him with an inquiring gaze, and said, "Show your hand to the boss!"

With Godzilla next to him, he kicked Godzilla in the crook of the leg without warning, and his knee swept over his inner thigh.

Godzilla gasped, and inevitably bent his legs and lowered his center of gravity, at this time, Brother Wolf reached out and grabbed his shoulders, and the muscles of his whole body exerted force, and Godzilla fell to the ground with a 'bang'!

Li Du was stunned: "God, you are too violent!"

Godzilla is a sincere person, and he has no opinion when he is treated so roughly, but instead helps Brother Wolf speak: "It doesn't hurt." ”

"What I showed was Russian-style wrestling, which used dexterity to throw someone who was larger and heavier than me to the ground, but the opponent would not be injured, so as to reduce their weight to the greatest extent," Wolf explained. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Boss, do you want to try?"

Sophie shook her head like a willow branch in the wind: "Uh, I'll forget it, you are indeed a very powerful bodyguard, I am relieved." ”
