Chapter 465: Appreciating Treasures and Bartering Things

Wu Torres was pleasantly surprised by Han Chong's voice, and after carefully putting down the sketch, Wu Torres grabbed Han Chong's arm and said almost pleadingly: "That's right, this is a portrait of Madame Picasso, yes, there is no problem at all, it must be, Mr. Han, I want to know the origin of this painting, I hope you can tell me......"

Han Chong smiled, he had already known that this was genuine, so he was not too excited at the moment, but was very calm.

"I'm sorry, but I can only tell you that these paintings were purchased through legitimate channels, and as for the rest, you don't need to know, your job is to tell Mr. Silberg whether they are real or fake after looking at them......

Han Chong can understand the mood of Wu Torres, researching an antique is often countless times more difficult than identifying its authenticity, but this is also the attraction of the collection, which makes people continue to dig and explore those unknown stories that happened dozens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago.

However, even if the person in front of him was his colleague, Han Chong didn't plan to tell him the origin of these sketches, because now that he was in Paris, he was not his own territory, and Han Chong didn't want to make trouble. If you really say it, then you don't know what will happen.

And that lovely Mr. Kane, if he knew that he had 30,000 pounds and that the 32 Picasso works he sold were all genuine, would he have gone to the hotel where Han Chong was staying and cried, made trouble, and hanged himself? Of course, it is not impossible to kill Han Chong.

"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous...... Mr. Han"

In the foreign art market, it is similar to the domestic antique market, private transactions, you just need to know the authenticity of the object, the way is not the most important, and foreign countries should pay more attention to personal privacy, after hearing Han Chong's refusal. Wu Torres immediately apologized to Han Chong.

Han Chong waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay, Mr. Wu Torres, then, please continue, there are so many more, you all need to appreciate the ......"

The art market is different from traditional industries, it is a seller's market, as long as you have real things and good things, you are not afraid that you will not be able to sell them. Let out a little bit of wind, and a lot of people will squeeze their heads to find what you bought.

So Han Chong is not in a hurry, he really can't take these sketches home, whoever wants to buy them in China, and his buddy will also be an international collector.

After hearing Han Chong's words, Torres did not pick up the sketch he had just seen, but looked at Han Chong and said, "Mr. Han, I can be sure that this one." It is indeed the real work of Mr. Picasso, which he did in the sixties of the last century......"

"Wait, Mr. Afternoon Torres, how do you know. What about the time Picasso painted? ”

Han Chong interrupted Torres' words because Picasso knew Jacqueline. Locke's time is in 1953, but can you not do it around that time?

"Mr. Han." You know, Picasso was a man of great energy, but after he was eighty years old. He is a little more than willing to be a woman, but he is not willing to do so.

Therefore, his painting style has also changed during this time period, and in his paintings during this time period, there are voyeurs, I think, that is what he advertises to himself, right? ”

When it comes to professional knowledge, Wu Torres has become like a different person, gushing scriptures, starting from Picasso's personality in his early years, and talking about Picasso's psychological problems in his later years, which taught Han Chong and others a good lesson.

Han Chong had heard of this, because Picasso once said a very famous sentence, that is: "We are old and have to quit smoking, but we still have the desire to smoke." It's the same with love. ”

It sounds like there's some truth to that. And Wu Torres's understanding of Picasso is definitely incomparable to ordinary people.

With this in mind, after Picasso could not exercise the right to love with women, he expressed this desire in his paintings, which is the so-called "right to see", and in his painting style of this period, whether it is oil painting or drawing, there will be a faint shadow of a man, looking at the women in the painting.

"You said it very well, Mr. Torres, and I believe that your judgment is correct, so please go ahead, there are five more sketches below......"

Han Chong nodded, expressing his approval of Wu Torres' words, hearing Wu Torres's words, he was also very touched, this Chinese and foreign appraisal is necessary to understand the psychological situation of the author of the work, if it were not for Wu Torres's familiarity with Picasso's style in each era, he would not be able to say the above words.

"Thank you, Mr. Han, I was really offended to you just now, you will bring us a wonderful evening......"

At this time, Torres changed his attitude towards Han Chong greatly, stood up and bowed slightly to Han Chong, and then sat down to re-evaluate, Xu Guang showed him the six female body sketches.

Although the women on these six sketches are all the same person, the backgrounds and costumes are different, not all of them are naked, and two paintings are wearing pajamas and lying on the bed with their breasts half exposed.

When Torres was appraising these sketches, every time he saw one, the excitement on his face increased by a point, and even, that kind of unbelievable expression became more and more expressive, and after reading all six sketches, he almost jumped up from the sofa with excitement, grabbed Han Chong, and asked: "Dear Han, you must have other works, please take them out, these are all Picasso's works......"

If it is Picasso's oil painting, it is very likely that there is only one, but the sketch work, every time it is found, there is at least one volume, basically around ten or a little more, but Han Chong only took out six this time, so Wu Torres asked.

"Oh, Mr. Torres, please don't worry, first tell Mr. Silberg whether these works belong to Mr. Picasso, whether they are real or fake, he is in a hurry......"

Han Chong gently pushed away the hand that Wu Torres was holding his arm, what are you kidding? Dude has already taken out the stuff for real money, and you still want to see it? That's not impossible, but you two need to show some sincerity, right?

Wu Torres naturally knew what Han Chong meant, and he would shout, "Really, of course it's true." I can assure God that these six works are absolutely Picasso's authentic, there is no doubt about it......"

To be honest, Wu Torres behaved like an avid collector at this time, more like a calm appraiser, he just wanted to appreciate all of Han Chong's works about Picasso at the moment, and after today, I am afraid he will not have such a chance. Because whether these paintings will still belong to Han Chong is uncertain.

Wu Torres knew that once the news of Han Chong's possession of these works spread, what kind of impact would it have on the entire European art market? That will definitely make all the fans of Picasso's work gather in the city of Paris.

"Well, well, thank you for your appreciation. You can rest for a while, Mr. Torres, I think Mr. Silberg must have something to talk to me......"

Han Chong waited until noon Torres confirmed the authenticity of these paintings, and immediately started to cross the river and demolish the bridge. And not even a glass of water was poured.

In fact, this is also the case, Wu Torres is just an appraiser, there is no need to talk to him too much, and Han Chong's attitude towards Wu Torres when he first entered the house. It's still a little mustard. His attitude changed later, and that was also because of Picasso, which had nothing to do with him.

"Of course. Don't talk about it at noon, let's talk, Mr. Han, I think any collector in Paris at the moment would be willing to associate with Mr. Han......"

Silberg nodded, with six of Picasso's drawings, Han Chong already has the qualifications to become an international collector, if Han Chong intends to sell it again, then all those who like Picasso's works will be willing to be friends with Han Chong.

Hearing the boss's words, even if Wu Torres was excited at this time, he could only suppress himself, and he wanted to appreciate Picasso's works again, but he was put away by Xu Guang's hands and feet, and with a look of anti-thief, the depressed Wu Torres almost ran away.

However, Wu Torres did not have such qualifications, and he was reluctant to go. In the collection market, where the seller is king, especially in the high-end market of top artworks, no one is short of money, and if you want others to sell their favorite artworks, it depends on whether you are sincere?

"Dear Han, I wonder if you called us here today to sell these Picasso works?"

After Silberg's small eyes turned around, he began to slowly lean towards the subject, the reason why he asked this was to take the lead in the negotiation, so that Han Chong subconsciously thought that he wanted to sell, not that he wanted to buy, which was also a small skill in negotiation.

"For sale? No, no, no, Mr. Silberg, you have misunderstood, I have never thought of selling these precious Picasso works, not now, and never again, I think Madam Wen Wan must have misunderstood you......"

After Han Chong heard Silberg's words, he had a faint smile on his face, waved his hand again and again, said several words, and resolutely denied Silberg's words.

In the current international art market, whether it is Picasso's works or his own collections, they are absolutely priceless, and no one is willing to exchange Picasso's works for money.

Han Chong also makes sense when he says this.

"Not for sale?"

Silberg was stunned for a moment, and after looking at the gentleness on the side, he said to Han Chong: "Dear Han, what do you mean by calling us here today?" Let's take a look at Mr. Picasso's work? And then tell us to leave? ”

Silberg is also an important figure in the British collecting circle, and he does not think that he has given up an important dinner party just to see Picasso's work, and it is better to go to the Louvre.

"Mr. Silberg speaks very good Chinese, it seems that you heard me correctly......"

Han Chong didn't answer Silberg's words, but praised his Chinese proficiency, and Silberg nodded very gentlemanly, waiting for Han Chong's next words.

"Presumably, Mr. Silberg must also know the culture of our country very well, in our country, collectors rarely use money to buy the collection he likes, but more often, use their own collection to exchange with each other, so that both sides can get their favorite collection, Mr. Silberg, I think, you should understand what I mean, right?"

In fact, bartering is not only a patent of Chinese Tibetan friends, but also very popular in the world, as soon as Silberg heard Han Chong's words, he immediately reacted, and he completely understood Han Chong's thoughts.

But then Silberg's eyebrows were also tightly wrinkled, the occurrence of barter transactions is mostly due to the proposing party, taking a fancy to a certain object of the other party, and then taking out his best things to exchange with it.

But the current situation is that Han Chong didn't even know what collection he had, so he dared to propose a barter exchange, making it clear that he was relying on those Picasso sketches in his hand, and if he couldn't get the antiques that satisfied the other party, I was afraid that the transaction would be ruined.

But Silberg really cares about the Picasso drawings in Han Chong's hands, and whether a collector can become a world-class collector, whether there are works like Picasso or Van Gogh in his collection is an extremely important mark.

The heritage of the Silberg family is nothing more than a large number of antiques looted from China in those years, but for European and American artworks, there is not much collected, Silberg wants to be affirmed by international collectors, just owning antiques from China, it is far from enough.

"Mr. Han, you say that, I think I understand what you mean, but my collection is in London, and there is no way to choose for you now, so I am also very sorry......"

Silberg's mentality is very correct, to say that the preciousness of his collections is not necessarily lower than Picasso's works, but rare things are precious, and millions of Chinese cultural relics are scattered abroad.

But Picasso's works come and go only in the tens of thousands, and most of them have been collected by private individuals and museums, and even if they are occasionally seen in the auction market, they are quickly sold at high prices
