Chapter 840: Zheng Banqiao's Painting
On the fifth floor of the casino, there are three separate small rooms.
In fact, the area of each room is nearly 200 square meters, and there is a round gambling table in the middle of the room, and there is only a bar and sofa next to it, so that twenty or thirty people can watch together.
Such a room, Tongwen had only heard of it, and he had never entered it, and he never thought that the first time he entered such a room, he would come in under such circumstances.
"Boss, just play a game!" ”。
Zhou Wen frowned tightly and whispered. In his opinion, no matter what Li Yang does now, he shouldn't promise Taro Yamamoto, he knows more about the casino than Li Yang.
It's a pity that Li Yang has already agreed, so he can only persuade like this. Zhou Wen didn't know what contradictions there were between Li Yang and Yamamoto Taro at this time, but he understood that Yamamoto Taro had always been aimed at Li Yang.
Li Yang chuckled lightly and said, "Second brother, don't you know me yet, don't worry."
Zhou Wen looked at Li Yang. I relaxed a little. In the past few years in college, Li Yang, the boss, is the most convincing to everyone, no matter what happens, Li Yang is always the most rational person and a good big brother for everyone.
This is also the reason why he wanted to pull Li Yang out of the country together, a long time ago, Li Yang made them feel very relieved.
, "Second brother, the current boss is not fighting, don't worry!" Li Can whispered, and laughed again, he had more confidence in Li Yang. Unlike Zhou Wen and Li Pei. I haven't seen Li Yang for a few years, but I just met Li Yang.
, "Mr. Lee." Please! ……
Taro Yamamoto smiled and invited Li Yang into the room. He bowed down to the people around him and commanded a few words. Then he sat down at the table.
Li Yang sat across from Taro Yamamoto, in general. Such a room can accommodate up to eight people to gamble together, but Taro Yamamoto didn't invite anyone else, just looked at Li Yang with a smile, this time it means that only the two of them gamble together.
This was an opportunity, a great opportunity, and it was naturally impossible for him to invite other people in.
Mitsui Yasushi and Aoki Weiyang only frowned slightly. The two didn't say anything. Directly sat on the side.
Wang Jingkang has no capital, he has his own purpose in being invited this time, if he can, he still wants to borrow a sum of money from Taro Yamamoto to alleviate his big hole, otherwise he will wait to give up control of the company.
Aoki thinks a little more.
If Li Yang really loses the Tiancong Cloud Sword, it will only be good for him, and if Taro Yamamoto wins this artifact, he will be able to have a lot easier. After all, Taro Yamamoto is the "Day" himself, and he is much easier to deal with than Li Yang, as long as Taro Yamamoto is willing to bring this artifact back to the "Day", it will be his credit.
It's just that the credit is different. It's better for Aoki than not being able to bring the artifact back.
Outside the door, a few young people came over with a few things and saw these things. The smile on Taro Yamamoto's face became even more vigorous, and he personally took these things in.
Taro Yamamoto's favorite thing is to collect calligraphy and paintings, these are some treasures that he has worked hard to collect in recent years.
"Mr. Li, this is some of my collections in recent years, I love calligraphy and painting, I still like Chinese calligraphy and painting, don't care, you first look at this Lang Shining's "Lotus Huā Picture" How much do you think it can be worth? ……
Taro Yamamoto said slowly, his face was still a little proud when he said it, this is the first painting and calligraphy work he opened, the painting is a lotus leaf picture, and the name on the painting is Lang Shining.
Lang Shining, a famous court painter of the Qing Dynasty, was also one of the most famous foreign missionaries of all dynasties, and was one of all foreigners who had a deep relationship with the Qing court.
It can also be said. Lang Shining's fame is only one line lower than Marco Polo's, even Nan Huairen is better than him, if Lang Shining enters the country of China first, maybe he will be the most famous missionary. Not one of them.
One of Lang Shining's identities in the Qing court was that of a court painter, and he painted a lot of paintings, "most of which are now lost, and a few that have been circulated, most of them are abroad."
After Taro Yamamoto took out this painting, the experts of the "Hichimoto" immediately sat up straight, and even Aoki Weiyang stood up straight. Look closely at the painting.
Li Yang's side. Bai Ming and Mao Lao's eyes also straightened. Li Can and Liu Jun stared at the first painting that Taro Yamamoto took out, looking at it carefully.
, "Yes, it's Lang Shining's real work!" ……
After more than a minute, Li Yang said slowly. There are not many paintings of Lang Shining in the world, but there are still a few in the Forbidden City. When Li Yang was in the Forbidden City, he deliberately studied the calligraphy and paintings inside, and saw Lang Shining's paintings.
, "Mr. Lee." Since it's genuine, how much do you think it's worth? ……
Taro Yamamoto laughed, Li Yang thought it was true, even if Li Yang objected, he had other evidence, but Li Yang agreed, and he was in trouble.
"Lang Shining's painting is very good, I think this painting is worth 300,000 US dollars."
Li Yang chuckled and said, 300,000 US dollars, almost 2 million yuan, an ordinary, small painting of Tulang Shining. This price is understandable, Taro Yamamoto was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Mr. Li is really amazing, I did receive 300,000 US dollars for this painting, how about 300,000 US dollars at this time?" ”。
This painting, to be exact, was received by Taro Yamamoto for 500,000 Canadian dollars, or in the last two years. But at this time, he didn't think about it so much, Li Yang said that it was worth 300,000 US dollars, so he would recognize this number.
For Taro Yamamoto, what he is most afraid of is that Li Yang does not agree to gamble.
"Okay, that's 300,000 US dollars!" ”。
Li Yang chuckled, immediately took out his checkbook, wrote a cash check for 300,000 US dollars, and waited to exchange chips.
This time he came to Canada, especially the money that Lin Lang paid him for the glass species sea wolf jade last time, which was exchanged by Li Yang into US dollars from Swiss banks. These checks are almost as good as cashier's checks.
It can also be said that the check signed by Li Yang can be exchanged for cash immediately.
After the casino staff took the check and checked it, he nodded to Taro Yamamoto, who immediately laughed, he didn't start the game immediately, and asked people to open several paintings around him together.
Zhou Wen. Li Pei's eyes are already worth it, they already know that their boss is definitely better than them now, but they didn't expect that Li Yang signed a check for 300,000 US dollars without blinking his eyes.
The two of them, who have been working in casinos all the time, don't know anything about the treasure appraisal conference. Most of the people who know about the treasure appreciation conference are people in the collecting circle. The two of them have almost nothing to do with the collection circle, and they don't know that Li Yang is already world-famous.
, "Gao Xiang and Lin Sanzhi".
As soon as these paintings were unfolded, people screamed. Li Yang glanced back, "Bai Ming immediately lowered his head, and it was him who shouted just now."
In the few paintings that unfolded, there are paintings by Gao Xiang and Lin Sanzhi. Gao Xiang, the word Fenglan, the number of the Western Tang Dynasty ordinary people don't know much about him, but he is one of the famous painters of the Qing Dynasty and one of the most famous Yangzhou Eight Monsters.
Lin Sanzhi is a famous painter in modern times, this person's paintings have been the most popular recently, and it is indeed not easy for Taro Yamamoto to have a painting of him.
, "Jung Seop".
Mao Lao suddenly shouted, Taro Yamamoto took out the Luofu painting this time, and this was the last one to be taken out. After this painting was opened, even Mao Lao couldn't calm down.
Zheng Xie, also known as Zheng Banqiao, is one of the most famous painters in the history of China and one of the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou. Taro Yamamoto took out these paintings, the Chinese character paintings accounted for the vast majority, "no one thought of it." There are also paintings of cattle like Zheng Banqiao.
This is a "Bamboo Leaf Drawing", Zheng Banqiao's best painting, which is also one of Zheng Banqiao's masterpieces.
"Mr. Li, how about three million dollars for these paintings?" ,。
Taro Yamamoto said that the overall value of these paintings, which is basically the majority of his collection, must be higher than three million dollars, but when he thinks of the first Lang Shining painting, he would rather endure it. Say low prices.
However, these words are not much higher than this price: "Zheng Banqiao's paintings are rare, but unfortunately some are incomplete. It has a big impact on the value, but these paintings are genuine, which is really not easy.
"Yes, it's worth it!" Li Yang chuckled, he just wanted to teach Taro Yamamoto a lesson, he didn't expect to see these paintings that surprised him, which would make Li Yang naturally very satisfied.
"That's good." Get three million dollars in chips! ……
Taro Yamamoto shouted, three million dollars, which is also a big burden for him, "This is the result of his accumulation over the years."
Li Yang shook his head slightly, and immediately signed a check for 2.7 million US dollars, plus the previous 300,000, exactly 3 million. Three million US dollars, less than 20 million yuan, is really not much pressure on Li Yang.
Zhou Wen and Li Can looked at the chips in a daze, and the two glanced at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't say anything.
Suddenly, they felt that their boss had become a little stranger, and three million US dollars "was a sum that they might not necessarily earn in their lifetime of struggle, Li Yang signed it so simply, and exchanged it for chips.
Even if they knew that Li Yang was not simple now, they would be a little dizzy.
A few paintings were set aside. Li Yang's verified check was also put aside, and the chips were changed. Three hundred of them each, and they were stacked high.
300 chips, each representing $10,000, means that at least $10,000 at this table.
The dealer came over, Li Yang was already seated, Zhou Wen's brows condensed together again, his whole face was almost formed, mountain-shaped, he looked at Li Yang, there was only worry in his eyes.
Looking at Taro Yamamoto on the other hand, there was some excitement in his eyes, but his face did not show it, he wanted Li Yang to lose the money, and then lose again. Until all the money is lost. Then take out something else to pledge.
