After a short pause, David became excited again, believing that the odds of what the Earl had left behind were fakes, so small that he immediately called the experts in charge of oil painting and sketch appraisal at the headquarters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When I heard that there was a Van Gogh work on the other end of the phone, I couldn't sit still, and I wanted to come over now, but it didn't seem to have enough time.

After a while, Tang Yi walked down with the thirty-four paintings in the cardboard box.

These paintings are not framed, but are directly rolled into more than 30 scrolls.

As soon as Tang Yi came down, Sean and David carefully took the cardboard box, Sean was in charge of holding the mobile phone, and David opened the largest oil painting and spread it on the coffee table.

"Oh, Shet, how could it be a sunflower?"

Sean, who was holding his mobile phone, screamed unconsciously.

Van Gogh painted a total of 12 sunflower paintings during his lifetime, and each sunflower painting has a different number of flowers, from 1 to 12, representing the twelve disciples of Christ.

Tang Yi took out this pair of sunflowers, there are thirteen sunflowers, although there is indeed Van Gogh's signature underneath, but it is completely contradicted by the facts known to the world, and there is no need to look closely at all, it must be a fake.

"Damn Sean, what's your fucking name, quick, put your phone on the painting, or when you come back, I'll go to the branch and blow up your eggs!"

There was a roar from David's mobile phone, and Sean knew that this was the boss of the oil painting appraisal at the headquarters, so he didn't dare to provoke it, so he pointed his phone at the oil painting stupidly.

In his opinion, there is no need for identification.

David was completely different from him, when he saw this oil painting, he almost didn't pounce, he was babbling something, Tang Yi didn't understand, and it wasn't until ten minutes later that David took his mobile phone out of Sean's hand with red eyes.

"Richard, this ...... Is this the legendary painting? ”

"Yes, that's it, see the thirteenth sunflower at the bottom? It's exactly the same as the information, David, I beg you, you must bring it back, I can call the shots, and bring it back at any cost, even if we don't charge any auction fees! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as you nod, then I'm 100% sure to bring it back! Oh God, I'm so lucky! Davy was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he began to hold his phone again and began to identify the sketches.

This time, it took more than an hour!

When the other end of the phone came full of genuine works, David became more and more excited, and after chatting with Richard for a few more words, after taking a deep breath, he said to Tang Yi: "Tang, we have a reluctant request, I hope you can give us some time, the chief oil painting appraiser of our branch will come over immediately, it only takes an hour, the expert appraiser at the headquarters has basically determined that these are genuine works, but it is also necessary to send an appraiser to personally come to the door to identify it, so as to ensure the interests of both parties, Please understand that there are no problems with these works! ”

"Really? Isn't it ......" Sean was about to say something, but David immediately glared, suppressed his words, and said in a deep voice: "Sean, don't bother me now, okay?" Do you think you have a better eye than Richard? ”

"Sorry, David"!

Sean honestly stepped aside.

"Dude, don't do this"!

Tang Yi patted David on the shoulder: "Wait for an hour, it's not too long, just wait, I lack everything now, I just don't lack time, haha!" ”

An hour, it's still a long time to say, but in fact, it's just a few words, and after drinking a can of dark beer, the sound of a helicopter sounded outside the island in the middle of the lake.

The appraiser arrived.

David immediately ran out, and Tang Yi, as the owner, naturally followed out, which could be regarded as welcoming the appraiser.

"Mr. David, Mr. Richard called me, I heard that you found the real work of Van Gogh?"

A blonde woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a black business outfit stepped down from the helicopter, hugged David, and brought a suitcase from her assistant.

"Yes!"

David introduced to Tang Yi: "Tang, this is Asima Jerry, the current chief oil painting appraiser of the branch, her teacher is Richard, who has just made a video call, Asima is also Richard's protégé, and he has the best research on sketches and oil paintings!" Asima, this is Don, the master here! ”

"Mr. Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Me too, nice to meet you, Miss Asima Jerry"! Tang Yi smiled and shook hands with the chief oil painting appraiser of Sotheby's Distribution.

After a brief greeting between the two parties, Tang Yi took Asima to the living room. Like David's appraisal of jewelry, Asima was more serious in appraising paintings and drawings, and it took half an hour for the blonde to exclaim again and again.

"Mr. Tang, I am very responsible to tell you that these paintings of Master Van Gogh are undoubtedly genuine, and at the same time, I will quote you an auction house at a conservative price, and the oil paintings can be auctioned at least 10 million, these sketches, the first six are estimated to sell for 2 million, and the remaining 27 are estimated to be sold for 10 million, so the total price should be around 22 million!"

"Twenty million?"

Tang Yi was extremely satisfied, 20 million was enough to solve his urgent needs, enough to squander it for a while.

"Miss Asima, may I ask a question?"

Tang Yi glanced at the oil painting with thirteen sunflowers.

Asima smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, you want to ask, how can it have thirteen sunflowers, right?" ”

"That's right!"

Tang Yi nodded.

He was actually very puzzled in his heart, he also knew something about the encyclopedic knowledge of sunflowers, there should only be twelve true works of sunflowers, as Sean said, symbolizing the twelve disciples of Christ, when did thirteen run out?

Earlier, he took out these paintings, originally intending to let David identify the sketches, and subconsciously pressed the treasure on the sketches, hoping that they were real, but he never thought that the sunflowers were also real!

"This is a book by Master Van Gogh for his brother!"

Asima put away his gloves, "Actually, there are fourteen paintings in the Sunflower series of Master Van Gogh, and the thirteenth and fourteenth paintings represent the master himself and his younger brother, and there are only thirteen sunflower oil paintings in the world now, which ...... It is the thirteenth oil painting that has disappeared, representing the master's younger brother! ”

Tang Yi suddenly asked, "Then why are there only twelve paintings in the museum?"

Asima smiled, "Because the fourteenth painting is in the hands of the descendants of Master Van Gogh!" ”

"I see!"

After understanding the origin of the thirteenth painting, Tang Yi satisfied his curiosity, and learned that he had a lot of wealth, and he was in a good mood.

David also spoke at this time, "Don, our estimate of your eighteen pieces of jewelry is about 20 million, they are hundreds of years old, enough to be regarded as antiques, this price is only a conservative estimate!" I have to say, Don, you're a lucky guy, and in a few days, we have our annual jewelry auction house, and you're just in time.

However, oil paintings and drawings have to choose a special time, and after publicity, a special auction can be held, and the price can naturally increase a lot. ”

Hearing David say the same, Tang Yi suddenly understood that after publicity, he could make a lot of more money, and asked, "How long does it take to publicize?" ”

David thought for a moment and gave the answer, "Half a month, half a month is enough to prepare the rich people around the world!" ”

"Half a month?"

Tang Yi was silent, he was in a bit of a desperate need for silver now, would half a month be too long, but if he didn't publicize it, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get a good price.

Forget it, I won't return to China until next month anyway, and I just have money in my pocket by then. Besides, didn't David say that the special auction of jewelry can be held in a few days, and Tang Yi is just in time for the annual jewelry auction held by Sotheby's every year.

I can also take a ride, this feeling is good!

Tang Yi promised David that he would give them half a month, and he could deal with the money for the jewelry for a while.

After the conservative valuation was negotiated, David asked that the drawings, paintings, and jewelry be taken away and deposited in a bank by the auction house. Of course, they will also sign a contract with Tang Yi, and if these things are lost, they will add 300% compensation to the conservative valuation.

Tang Yi naturally has no objection to this, let himself go in case it is damaged that day, who will he cry to?

David was willing to take over these things, and he couldn't wait for them.

When Asima came over this time, she brought several reprinted contracts at the request of her teacher, Richard, which David had arranged when he was on the phone with Richard before.

It doesn't take much to sign a contract, but because Tang Yi didn't bring a lawyer, he still has to personally press a few handprints.

At the same time, he also called Walker and asked him to help him sign at Sotheby's auction house.

Walker knew about this, and was silent for a while before saying to Tang Yi: "Tang, maybe I need to charge some lawyer's fees!" ”

"How much?"

asked someone to help, Tang Yi didn't think about keeping the family busy in vain.

"Not much, my legal fees are cheaper, only $1,000"

"Mud horse, that's less!?"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi indignantly handed over a thousand Australian dollars to David and asked him to hand it over to Walker. Actually, this is also Tang Yi's misunderstanding of Walker.

The two contracts he asked Walker to notarize were not light, a contract of about 50 million, and if something went wrong, he would not be able to escape as a lawyer, and the risk was very high.

In fact, many times, this kind of contract requires the presence of a lawyer to sign, Walker is taking a risk to help Tang Yi this time, a thousand yuan is just a formality, if you want to assess the risk, Tang Yi will be charged tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!

Didn't you see that the earl asked him to help take Tang Yi through the island inheritance procedures, and it cost a million Australian dollars?
