The robot cat saw Wu Di's attention, listened to two sentences and said:

"Fifth brother, it seems that the gallery is going to remove those Chinese paintings and replace them with a few new works, which happened to be seen by the international students who sold the paintings, and they were saying that the time for the contract had not yet arrived......"

Wu Di frowned, walked over, and asked a young man with a scruffy beard and a sad and angry face:

"Are you the author of these paintings?"

The man nodded, and there was excitement in his eyes to see the fellow,

"The contract will not expire until the day after tomorrow, and they are going to get off my shelf today, isn't this a clear bully?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I've just seen your paintings, it's not bad, you let them take them off the shelves, I'll buy them when I get to the store door later, I'm angry with them! Hahahaha. ”

Wu Di finally got over the addiction of bullying others who couldn't understand him, and his happy mouth almost couldn't close.

When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he finally met someone who appreciated it! If it weren't for the imminent stopping, he would be reluctant to sell these paintings, but this is a masterpiece of his 20 years of painting, and he plans to keep it for his own collection in the future!

Shui Tianfeng was originally a top student of a painting and calligraphy college in China, but because his painting style was not liked by his tutor, he saw that his classmates who were obviously worse than his paintings were often recommended to go out to exhibitions and win awards, and he went abroad angrily in anger, hoping to find a day in this so-called fair world. However, even if it is an ink painting that incorporates a little Western technique, it is still an ink painting, and it will be more difficult to get ahead here than in China!

It's just a pity that by the time he realized this truth, he was already exhausted, and he couldn't even afford a ticket back to China, and he was embarrassed to reach out to his parents in China who were already in the middle of the house in order to help him learn painting......

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at these paintings."

Wu Di watched the clerk take advantage of their chatting to hang a few oil paintings that had not been paid in the vacant space. Smiling slightly, he was about to leave the store, when suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a still life painting.

This is a still life painting of apples, in which the painter has carefully arranged the slanted apple basket and wine bottle, scattered other apples casually among the peaks formed by the tablecloth, and a plate with small pastries placed at the back of the table.

The whole picture has a strong sense of substance, the composition is balanced, and the structure is reasonable, giving people a sense of dignified, thick and constant durability.

Could this be Cézanne's Still Life Apple Basket? How is it possible to put it on display in this corner? When Wu Di saw the clerk labeling it with a price. I could hardly believe my eyes that such a world-famous masterpiece could cost only 5,000 euros! Is it a missing 10,000-word word? Oh, mistakenly, it's not Huaxia here, there's no such 10,000 characters......

"Please help me put this painting away, robot cat, you go pay the bill, remember to ask for the sales voucher."

Wu Di didn't even bother to verify it with the Book of Heaven, so he directly asked the robot cat to pay the bill and leave. Such a work being exposed to people at this price, even for even a second longer, has the potential to lead to unknowable consequences.

The clerk was very happy that a friend of his had privately commissioned him to help with the paintings. He promised the manager a little favor, and Catherine, who was as fat as a pig, acquiesced in allowing him to squeeze out Shui Tianfeng's two days. Unexpectedly, this young man not only leveled the poor ghost Huaxia painter, but also fell in love with the most expensive one of them within a minute of him just hanging the painting! This humble young man. It turned out to be a vassal and elegant tyrant from Huaxia! He faintly regretted it, he had known that he would have been elevated......

"Sir, why don't you look at these again? Look at the woman in this portrait, quiet and delicate, look at this ......"

Wu Di saw that a few people not far away noticed the movement here, and frequently looked at them, as if they were about to come over, and hurriedly said impatiently:

"Put them all away for me, I want them all."

"Oh my God, sir, your generosity is more touching than the sun in the sky, what a ......"

As he spoke, he quickly rolled up several paintings, put them into the painting tube that had not had time to be put away, and handed them to the military advisor who was waiting on the side, and he had to take the robot cat to pay the bill.

"Wait...... Boss, that painting should be at the Art Institute of Chicago now, although this one looks pretty good, but five thousand is a bit expensive......"

Shui Tianfeng saw that Wu Di only glanced at it, and then took down the oil paintings with a total price of more than 20,000 euros...... At this moment, seeing that the deal was about to be made, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he grabbed the robot cat and whispered that paragraph in Wu Di's ear.

Wu Di smiled and nodded, this person is not bad, it is not a shame that he helped him just now. He motioned for the robot cat to follow over to pay the bill, then took the painttube handed to him by the military advisor, didn't open it, fiddled with it casually, and returned it.

That's right, maybe the "Still Life Apple Basket" here shouldn't be called that, is it Paul? Cézanne's work! This Paul? Cézanne does not have the same name and surname, but is really the famous French painter Paul, who was called the "father of modern art" or "father of modern painting" by Western modern painters, and has been admired as the "father of Art Nouveau" since the end of the 19th century? Cezanne!

Every painter has his own favorite subject matter or is good at, and he will never leave only one work on this subject. But often, for some reason, one of these works of the same theme will be praised by some critics, and slowly a situation will be created that even if the works of the same painter are similar in subject matter, composition, and artistic conception, there will be a huge gap in price. And for some people who don't know these painters well, they think that there should be only one such subject, and the others are all fakes!

Shui Tianfeng obviously fell into such a misunderstanding. Wu Di looked at the frowning brows of this somewhat down-and-out peer, and decided to test him again,

"I heard that Van Gogh loved sunflowers, and he probably painted dozens of related themes in his life, but there are more than a dozen of them......"

Shui Tianfeng suddenly realized, this is a sister article! His eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Wu Di, what did this young man who looked younger than himself just do? A painting of Cézanne's Still Life Apple Basket, worth at least 50 million euros, no, probably 80 million euros, was pocketed by him for 5,000 euros! Is this possible? He only glanced at it and was sure that the author of the painting was Cézanne? But he has been learning to paint for 20 years, and not only did he see it earlier than him, but he also looked at it more than once, and he was indifferent?

"Eighty million euros? It shouldn't be that much, right? However, 50 million euros should be a fair price. ”

Shui Tianfeng hesitated for a moment and said:

"You know Paul? One of Cézanne's most beloved works, The Card Player? ”

"You know, Cézanne painted a total of 5 "Card Players", except for one that was painted by the Greek ship king George? Amy Bilix is in the private collection, and the other 4 paintings are all in the world's major museums such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. ”

"I heard that someone has been privately asking for the king of ships recently, do you know how much it will cost?"

"It is said that he collected what was considered the "darkest" of Cézanne's "Card Players" series, and I remember Gary, director of the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. Tintello once commented, "This painting takes on its most fundamental appearance, after omitting unnecessary elements from previous paintings." ”。 That painting has been a constant stream of buyers over the past few decades. How? Has it finally exceeded 100 million this time? ”

"Over 100 million? This should be the price of previous years. I heard that this time the buyer is the royal family of Qatar, and the price is as high as 150 million pounds! But the ship king still didn't agree to sell! ”

"150 million? Or the pound? How is this possible......"

This news has basically been confirmed, and it is said that the Qatari royal family has also put down their words, if the ship king is interested in selling, he can contact them directly, and the price can be negotiated. If the one just now is really Cézanne's work, hehe, 80 million pounds may not be able to be sold, 80 million euros should be no problem, right? ”

Shui Tianfeng didn't have the slightest smile in his hehe, he said so many words, but he still didn't get rid of the nervousness, eighty million euros, what kind of concept is this? This number has exceeded the limit of his imagination, because he remembers a sentence, a sentence once told to him by his best friend, if there is 8 million yuan, with his current level, he can easily find someone to make him popular as a well-known second-tier new painter in China!

8 million RMB, 80 million euros...... He shook his head gloomily, these five crystallized paintings could be sold for five thousand euros, enough for him to return to China, and in the eyes of this boss, these paintings were not considered insulting in his hands.

"Let's go, I think there should be no problem with your level being second-rate in China, why did you come here to suffer this?"

Wu Di was in a good mood, he had such a huge win in his first shot, which could be regarded as the luck that this young man brought him, if it wasn't troublesome, he wouldn't mind helping him.

"It's hard to find a market for my style of painting in China, and my teachers and fellow teachers look down on me! I didn't expect it to be more difficult to mix abroad, but I won't give up this path! Thank you for being able to buy all five of my works at once. I'm going back to China, and if there's a fate, I think we'll see each other again. ”

Shui Tianfeng's expression was full of gloom and confusion at first, but gradually, with the high-pitched tone, his spirit also lifted up, and in the end, he seemed to have gotten rid of all negative emotions.

Wu Di nodded secretly, took out a business card and handed it to him,

"I'll be back in about half a month, and if you need help with anything, you can call this at any time." (To be continued.) )
