Chapter 1000: Tulip Girl
PS: Three more ask for a monthly pass, please support more.
"Oh......"
Under Mr. Cai's reprimand, Cai Peng's head shrank, and he hurriedly sat next to him and obediently drank tea to review.
"My nephew."
At the same time, Mr. Cai suddenly said: "I want something, I don't know if my nephew can cut my love?" ”
Thing naturally refers to the golden ship, although I don't know how Mr. Cai would have such an idea, but for Wang Guan, this is simply a good opportunity to get out of trouble, how can he not agree.
Of course, Wang Guan did not focus on himself, but looked at Gao Zhuang and Tao Li: "What do you think?" ”
How else can you look at it, Gao Zhuang and Tao Li are not stupid, so they naturally nodded hurriedly in agreement. After all, as I said before, things are not easy to leave the country, so they can only be sold locally. Now that Mr. Cai is willing to buy it, he can save a lot of work.
"Mr. Cai, I'm not afraid of your jokes."
Wang Guan knew it in his heart, and immediately said frankly: "We originally wanted to sell things, but it was difficult to find buyers, and we were discussing whether to cut and scatter them just now." Mr. Cai wanted it, and it was a great favor for us. ”
"Haha, since that's ......"
At the right time, Mr. Cai smiled and said: "The things will be left here first, and I will call someone to come over to estimate the value when I turn around, and then calculate the money according to the international gold price, do you have no opinion?" ”
"Okay." Wang Guan nodded directly in agreement, and he didn't want to care so much. Because he wanted to sell things as gold, not as gold products.
Gold and gold products are two different concepts. Needless to say, gold itself is a precious metal, a natural currency, and the price is relatively balanced. As for gold products, such as gold rings, gold necklaces, gold and silver utensils, etc. That would be a work of art.
Similar to these things, while calculating the value of gold, there is also a certain added value. Strictly speaking, a gold ship can be regarded as a work of art made of gold, and it is normal to increase the price by one or two percent.
However, Wang Guan does not intend to take advantage of this. Not only because of Cai Peng, but also because of the constraints of the conditions. There are not many people who can afford things like gold boats, and even fewer people want to buy them. It is rare to meet a buyer, so it is natural to hurry up. lest you smash your hands.
For a variety of reasons, the deal went smoothly without any twists and turns. Just as Mr. Cai and Wang Guan were completing the verbal agreement, a servant also walked in and reported: "Mr. Cai, Mr. Lu has arrived. ”
"Please!"
In an instant, Mr. Cai immediately stood up, motioned for a few bodyguards to carry the golden boat to the side and put it away, and then asked someone to serve a refreshment. Before it was tidied up, someone walked out of the hall. It was a middle-aged man. The figure is a little thin and gives people a dry feeling, but the eyes are very agile and shrewd.
No doubt. This person should be Mr. Lu in Mr. Cai's mouth.
"Mr. Lu, welcome, welcome."
When the guests came, Mr. Cai naturally greeted them warmly. A big smile on his face.
Unlike Wang Guan and others, Mr. Lu understands Mr. Tsai's energy in Taiwan better and sees him so enthusiastic. Naturally, he felt a little flattered, and hurriedly greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Cai is polite......"
"What's the origin of this Mr. Lu?"
At the same time, Wang Guan quietly pulled Cai Peng and asked him to speak.
"I don't know."
However, Wang Guan asked the wrong person, and after seeing Cai Peng's dazed face, he shook his head and said: "I've never seen it before, maybe it's my father's friend in the business." ”
"Mall friends?" Wang Guan looked at it for a moment, but he didn't quite agree: "I don't think so." ”
Doing business, unless it is a vassal relationship between superiors and subordinates, it is impossible for Mr. Lu to be so respectful. But then again, if it's a vassal relationship, then you can't be called a friend anymore.
When Wang Guan speculated, Mr. Cai was very good at being a person, and he took advantage of the situation to introduce everyone to him.
"Huh."
After seeing Wang Guan, Mr. Lu's reaction was similar to that of Mr. Cai before, and his first reaction was that he felt very familiar, and he guessed whether this person was a star or something......
"This is Mr. Wang from the mainland."
However, under Mr. Cai's introduction, Mr. Lu suddenly realized, a burst of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurriedly held Wang Guan's palm and shook it vigorously: "Long up, long up!" ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......" To be honest, Wang Guan couldn't figure out why Mr. Lu was suddenly so enthusiastic, but after a while, he understood the reason.
"Speaking of which, the two of them can be regarded as peers."
At the right time, Mr. Cai smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is a leading local calligraphy and painting appraiser, and his ability is extraordinary......
In an instant, Wang Guan understood. Mr. Lu's enthusiasm is not for himself, but for the rare treasures represented behind him. To be precise, it is to give Zhong Kui the face of the ghost hunting map and the Confucius holy miracle map.
In fact, after the introduction, Mr. Lu immediately asked, "When will the treasure exhibition be held?" Everyone is already looking forward to it. ”
"This is the ...... It's being discussed, it's still being discussed. Wang Guan smiled vaguely: "It should be soon, soon." ”
"Is it the bureaucrats at the National Museum who are embarrassing you?" Mr. Lu said very righteously: "Even if you say something, people in our industry will definitely stand up in solidarity......"
"No, there is no such thing."
Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then said with a smile: "The gossip in the gossip newspaper is not credible, we have a very happy cooperation, and the specific details have been finalized." However, due to the principle of confidentiality, it is difficult to disclose to the public. ”
While speaking, Wang Guan also realized that there was some noise, and immediately brought the topic back: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so relaxed and be a guest at Mr. Cai's house." ”
"Also to ......"
Mr. Lu was also very clever, and immediately realized the purpose of his invitation, not to chat with Wang Guan about gossip, but to get down to business, and hurriedly looked at Mr. Cai, and smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Cai, you came to me, I don't know what it was for?" ”
It was rumored that Mr. Cai was more bold and didn't like to beat around the bush, so Mr. Lu simply inquired directly. In fact, Mr. Cai not only did not disagree, but even said bluntly: "Of course, I borrowed Mr. Lu's appreciation ability to help me keep my eyes on it." ”
When Mr. Lu heard this, he was immediately very interested. You must know that before he was invited, he already had such a guess, and now hearing Mr. Cai's affirmative answer, it naturally made him happy for a while. After all, with Mr. Cai's net worth, the things on hand are definitely not ordinary objects, which is enough for him to feast his eyes.
Thinking of this, it was definitely impossible for Mr. Lu to refuse, on the contrary, he looked forward to it. Mr. Cai naturally noticed it, and immediately waved his hand: "Ah Peng, go and take out the things." ”
"Oh."
Cai Peng nodded, then stood up, suddenly stopped and turned around, and said ignorantly: "What are you taking?" Where are the things placed? ”
"The safe in your room." Mr. Cai reminded: "There are a few oil paintings in it, and I took them all out. ”
"Good ......"
Cai Peng hurriedly responded, and said in surprise: "No, there is a painting in the safe, why don't I know." ”
"That's what I put in the other day." Mr. Cai suddenly said angrily: "Tell me, I haven't been home for the night for a few days?" Or do I have something left here, and I need to report to you for approval? ”
Hearing this, Cai Peng didn't dare to squeak anymore, and immediately hugged his head and ran away. Soon after, Cai Peng came back with a few paintings. Mr. Lu was not polite, and hurriedly greeted him to help, placing the paintings one by one on the table next to him.
At this time, Wang Guan took advantage of the situation and saw that there were five pictures, all of which were oil paintings with rich colors and bright pigments. Surprisingly, however, the five paintings are identical. Seeing this situation, not only Wang Guan was stunned, but Mr. Lu was also a little surprised.
The five pictures depict a young girl, with silky hair, fair skin, bright eyes, and tulips next to her, reflecting the girl's youthful vitality everywhere.
Even if Wang Guan doesn't understand oil painting, he can see that this painting is very good. The problem is that if the five paintings are identical, then it is more interesting. There are undoubtedly two possibilities for such a situation. Either one true or four false, or all of them are fakes.
Obviously, Mr. Cai came to Mr. Lu to verify the authenticity of these paintings.
"Mo You."
At this time, Mr. Lu noticed the signature on the oil painting and was immediately surprised: "This is one of the new generation of painters, who studied under a famous family, and once received the guidance of the great painter Mr. Zao Wou-Ki, and is known as the most likely to become the most influential Chinese painter in the world after Zao Wou-ki, and the future ......is immeasurable."
"Of course, these are not the point, the point is that Mo You is very young, and his works are very valuable for investment."
As he spoke, Mr. Lu frowned and said, "I remember that this tulip girl, which seems to have won an award in a group exhibition of internationally famous artist galleries, can be regarded as one of his masterpieces." I didn't expect that this work would be targeted so quickly, and so many copies would be made. ”
"That's why I want to ask Mr. Lu to help distinguish the authenticity." Mr. Cai smiled: "Although I don't care about the money to buy paintings, I can't be regarded as a fool who can be coaxed casually." ”
"Dad, who dares to lie to you, see that I don't ......" Cai Peng shouted, but in Mr. Cai's stern gaze, he had to obediently shut up and look at Mr. Lu instead, hoping that he could tell him the answer.
In this regard, Mr. Lu sighed in his heart, hoping that the counterfeiters would seek more blessings for themselves. It's not good to deceive anyone, and to deceive the rich people with all hands and eyes is simply asking for hardship.
Of course, for Mr. Lu, those who forge things are the public enemies of the industry, and he will definitely not sympathize with them, but on the contrary, they must carefully identify them in order to separate the fake from the true. This is not only his professional ethics, but also the meaning of the existence of appraisers.
Thinking of this, Mr. Lu did not hesitate, and hurriedly focused on observing the five oil paintings. But after looking at it for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and he became very strange and a little hesitant...... (To be continued......)
