Chapter 1007: Raise the Price!

PS: If you have a monthly pass, support it, thank you.

"If this is the real Leonardo da Vinci, it is worth at least 50 million ......"

At the right time, Fang Lao smiled and said: "It's not the US dollar, the euro, nor the Hong Kong dollar, but the British pound." ”

"Fifty million pounds." Wang Guan couldn't help but speak: "Who can afford it." ”

There may be some people present who can get 50 million pounds, but just because they can get it doesn't mean they have to buy it. After all, everyone's money doesn't fall from the sky, unless it's a famous person on the Forbes list, otherwise it costs 50 million pounds at a time, no matter who has to weigh it.

"The real thing is only worth 50 million pounds, and now it's hard to tell the real from the fake, and it's certainly not worth so much money."

At this time, Fang Lao said softly: "Besides, there is a problem with the origin of this painting, even if it is bought, it cannot be made public, so it has to be secretly collected." Because it was a stolen piece, something stolen from an ancient castle in England. Until now, Britain has not given up on tracking down the whereabouts of this painting, and if anyone buys it, it may be blacklisted by British intelligence......"

"Stolen things?" Wang Guan was a little surprised, and felt that it was expected.

"Well, it's more like a theft than a loot."

"It is said that two thieves disguised themselves as tourists, and immediately after entering the castle, they took a female guide hostage, and then forced her to take them to the scrolled statue of the Virgin Mary hanging in the corridor of the staircase, and quickly took down the painting and fled. ”

"Why does it sound so fake?" Wang Guan scratched his head and said, "What about the security guards, is there no monitoring system?" ”

"Who knows?" Fang Lao shook his head and said, "Anyway, this is how I succeeded, and then this painting disappeared like this." In order to find this painting, the British side even offered a high price. ”

"How much is the honorarium?"

Wang Guan inquired with great interest, wondering if if the amount was large enough, whether he would also report the news.

"One hundred thousand pounds!"

Between speaking, Elder Fang chuckled and said, "You heard it right, it's 100,000 pounds." ”

Wang Guan was stunned. Immediately affirmed: "There is a cat greasy, there is definitely a cat greasy, and nine times out of ten it is a guard who steals himself." ”

"Perhaps." Fang Lao said with a smile: "Whether it is a prison guard stealing or not, anyway, this painting is too well-known, and the price must be relatively cheap." If you're interested, you can take a picture, but you just can't see the light. ”

"Forget it." Wang Guan shook his head directly: "It's not a genuine work, I feel that it is not worth buying it." ”

If it is an authentic Da Vinci work, Wang Guan does not mind being blacklisted by the British Intelligence Agency, the problem is that it is just a copy, so there is no need for this.

However. Due to the difference in aesthetic taste, as well as hobbies. Wang Guan felt that this painting was not very good, but others did not think so, on the contrary, the competition was very fierce.

In just a few minutes, the quotation climbed steadily, until the amount exceeded one million, and then it slowed down. It should be noted that the live auction is in US dollars. A million dollars, that's not a small amount of money.

Of course. As I said, because the authenticity of this painting is indistinguishable, and it is a stolen item, attention can only become a secret collection. Then the price of 100 dollars. It's a very high price. So after weighing the pros and cons, some people gave up on the competition, and only a few people were left to make offers.

At this time, Wang Guan was also a little curious. glanced at a few bidders, and then with some surprise found that there was a young man among the bidders. It seems that I am determined to get this painting. Constantly competing with several blonde foreigners.

"Oh, it's him, no wonder."

At this time, Fang Lao also took advantage of the situation and suddenly said: "That young man is a well-known painter, and he studied oil painting, no wonder he is so interested in this painting." ”

"Young Painter ......"

Suddenly, Wang Guan had a flash of inspiration: "Is he Mo You?" ”

"Hmm!"

At the right time, Fang Lao nodded slightly: "You also know?" ”

"I don't know." Wang Guan shook his head and smiled: "It's just that for a young oil painter, I have only heard of this name, and then I guessed randomly, but I didn't expect it to be him." ”

“…… That's also a coincidence. Fang Lao smiled: "This young man is okay, a few days ago I held a solo exhibition in Taipei, I also went to see it, I feel that those paintings are good." As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely have a good future. However, I have heard that he is a bit utilitarian and attaches great importance to money......"

"I don't think it's okay either. After all, the times are different, as long as you have real skills, there is nothing wrong with pursuing fame and fortune. It is impossible for everyone to be indifferent to fame and fortune, which is unscientific. Fang Gonggong said: "Of course, there must be a degree, it is not good to be too utilitarian, it is easy to fall into it and have a tragedy that hurts Zhongyong." ”

"You're always right." Wang Guan nodded again and again, and after looking at Mo You again, he stopped paying attention.

At the same time, the Virgin pixel competition is settled, and a big-nosed foreigner is finally pocketed for two million dollars. While the man was receiving congratulations from his friend next to him, a new item appeared.

And when they looked, they saw a gold product, a gold plate inlaid with fine stones. It is said that this is a medieval religious utensil, and it is very collectible.

Of course, the most important thing is that this gold plate is not famous, even if it is stolen goods. Even if you buy it, as long as you don't let the whole world know about it, and only show it off to your relatives and friends, it is estimated that there will be no sequelae. In other words, such a thing is the most suitable for everyone to shoot.

In fact, not only the current gold plate, but also the silver cups and crowns to be met are very attractive to the attention of the major tycoons, and then they have made moves. During this period, Mr. Cai also photographed a silver cross inlaid with rubies, which may be a relic of a certain generation of popes, and I don't know if it is true or not.

Of course, it is not only Western art treasures, but also precious cultural relics from Egypt and Arab countries. This kind of exotic thing also aroused the interest of the rich. Everyone has a different focus on collecting, but you can find something you like here, so you don't hesitate to spend money to buy it.

Anyway, it can be determined that no matter how fierce the competition is, the final offer will definitely be lower than the actual price. Regarding this point, the rich people also have a very tacit understanding, and they will never do anything that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves.

After all, they are all business tycoons and the like, even if they don't know each other, they should have heard each other's names. Look up and don't look down, unless you have a deep grudge against the enemy, otherwise, if you can sell a favor to the water, you can sell a favor to the water, maybe when this favor will come in handy.

That's it, in the seemingly fierce competition, there is also a bit of harmony. At least there is no white-knuckle battle with bayonets, basically seeing someone cling to something, others groaning and taking the initiative to back down.

It is for this reason that the auction process is also very fast, and then all kinds of things that are older and belong to precious cultural relics have appeared one after another. For example, stone Buddha statues from the Wei and Jin dynasties in China, gold masks from ancient Egypt, gold coins and shields from ancient Rome. It's hard to say anything else, but China's stone Buddha statues make many people either surprised or frowned and indignant.

The reason for the surprise intersection is that such things have always been the dream objects of major collectors or archaeological researchers. And because of the strict control, it is a valuable thing.

As for the indignation, there is also a reason, but the appearance of things here shows that internal thieves and external thieves colluded with each other to steal precious cultural relics and sell them, which is really a heinous crime.

Of course, after the appearance of things, the indignant people will always be in the minority. Most of them were jubilant and ready to make an offer. At the same time, Elder Fang also frowned slightly, and said softly: "You can ignore the others, but that Guanyin statue must be photographed no matter what." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan understood what Fang Lao meant, relatively speaking, the Guanyin statue was relatively complete, unlike other Buddha statues that either lacked arms and legs, or lacked heads, or simply only had their heads left.

Of course, the most important thing is that judging from the decoration of the Kannon statue, the knife technique is very smooth, which fully shows the softness of the clothes and the dynamic sense of flowing water. At a glance, a discerning person will know that the artistic value of the Guanyin statue is higher. And when it comes to the real auction, everyone is also vying for the most.

However, Fang Lao was very unswerving and kept quoting. Probably feeling his old man's determination, those rich Chinese also gave up, leaving only a few foreigners to compete with Fang Lao. Between you and me, it seems that the invisible sword light and sword shadow make people feel a little thrilling.

However, Jiang was still old and spicy, and in the end, it was Fang Lao who had the last laugh. It's just that after successfully photographing the statue of Guanyin, his old man didn't have much joy. One is that he didn't buy this statue of Guanyin for himself. Second, due to the large number of people competing, the final transaction price must be relatively high.

In this case, Elder Fang would definitely not be happy.

Of course, the organizer didn't care about Fang Lao's idea, and after the final decision, the auctioneer took out something else, but it was a very old book. The Bible around the second and third centuries A.D., the Jewish Bible.

The so-called Jewish Bible, in today's terms, should be the Old Testament of the Bible. After all, as we all know, the Bible in the eyes of the Western church is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament, but the Jews only recognize the Old Testament, not the New Testament. Speaking of which, disputes between religions have always been very complex and difficult to sort out. Anyway, as long as you know, things are very precious.

When they looked at it, they saw that the book was written on parchment, but on it was very old writing. And it's a book, that's the current definition, but it's actually layers of parchment stacked in a small box.

Seeing this thing, those big-nosed foreign buyers began to get excited, apparently it was their dish. In contrast, the Chinese tycoons are very calm, but due to cultural differences, they have little interest.

However, at the time of the official auction, Wang Guan gently pressed the offerer.

"You want to buy it?"

Seeing this, Fang Lao was naturally very surprised.

"Raise the price."

At the right time, Wang Guan smiled and said, "It's revenge!" (To be continued......)
