Chapter 703 Eighty Million Dollars to Buy (Medium)

"Someone looking for me? Who is looking for me? He Qing was surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info top point novel,

Wu Qiang replied: "The man who claimed to be from the Zurich Academy of Fine Arts was a Swiss-Chinese. ”

"Zurich Academy of Fine Arts? Is that the art academy we went to not long ago? He Qing wondered.

Wu Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, it's that art academy." But I don't know why that person came to you on purpose, it must have been sent by Mr. Lawrence who gave you an appraisal of that painting, I think it might have something to do with that painting, hehe, maybe they figured it out and were willing to issue you a certificate of appraisal right away. ”

He Qing said: "I hope so. ”

Lawrence's people came to him, what could they do other than come for that Van Gogh painting?

If it is really as Wu Qiang said, they are here to issue him an appraisal certificate, it would be great, although he changed his mind and did not plan to send the painting to the auction house for the time being, so he is not in a hurry to do any appraisal, but it is naturally a good thing to be affirmed by an authoritative appraisal agency and get the appraisal certificate.

"Mr. He, that person is waiting outside now, do you want to meet him?" Wu Qiang asked.

He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed: "The person who came is a guest, of course I want to meet, but I won't go out to greet him, you tell him to come over directly, come to my guest room and sit down and chat." ”

"Okay, I'll go talk to him." Wu Qiang hurriedly agreed, and turned around and walked out of the room quickly, to greet the uninvited guest.

He Qing stayed in the guest room, unhurriedly waiting for the other party's arrival.

In less than five minutes, Wu Qiang led a man in.

It was indeed a black-eyed, yellow-skinned Asian man, not very old, about forty years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Looks suave.

"Hello, Mr. He."

When he walked in to see He Qing, the man greeted him with a smile.

"Hello." He Qing also greeted politely and said, "Please sit inside." ”

"Thank you." The man met him and shook his hand. introduced himself, "The contemptible surname is Wang, and his ancestral home is Guangyue, you can call me Lao Wang." ”

After meeting and being polite, he sat down on the sofa with He Qing.

"Mr. Wang, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

He Qing asked, very directly, there is no need to beat around the bush in this matter.

Mr. Wang said with a smile: "Now we all know that Mr. He brought a famous painting to our Academy of Fine Arts this afternoon for appraisal, and it is the work of Master Van Gogh." Van Gogh is famous and famous all over the world, and his works are rare and remarkable! ”

He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, I did take a Van Gogh painting to your art academy in the afternoon for appraisal, and it was Mr. Lawrence, the oil painting appraisal master of your art academy, who helped me to appraise it, but it's a pity." It seems that I can't get his affirmation, and he didn't issue me an appraisal certificate. That being the case. Forget it, I don't want to bother you. ”

Although he spoke in a gentle voice, there was obviously a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

Mr. Wang seemed to be a smart man, and he should have understood the implicit meaning of his words, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that Mr. Lawrence is not sure, but you also know. The painting you brought for appraisal is that of Master Van Gogh, not an ordinary painting, and Mr. Lawrence cannot easily give a conclusive conclusion, and must make further identification, but according to what Mr. Lawrence said. The "Chestnut Grove" in your hand is very likely to be the original work of Van Gogh. ”

"Really?" He Qing smiled slightly, he seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"Yes." Mr. Wang nodded vigorously and said, "There shouldn't be much of a problem, after all, Mr. Lawrence is one of the most authoritative oil painting appraisers in our Academy of Fine Arts, and he has studied the works of Van Gogh, Picasso and other world famous painters, and has unique insights. ”

"And what do you mean?" He Qing asked bluntly, "You came to me now, didn't you ask me to hand over the painting in my hand to your art academy for research, as Mr. Lawrence requested?" ”

Mr. Wang smiled, shook his head and said: "It's not to do research for our art academy, but to identify that painting for you, so as not to make any mistakes, after all, it is not an ordinary painting, but an oil painting by Van Gogh, which needs to be carefully compared and confirmed to avoid any mistakes or omissions." ”

He Qing smiled: "That's not necessary, right?" ”

He thought that Mr. Wang had come to issue an appraisal certificate for Mr. Lawrence, but unexpectedly, the other party's intention was exactly the same as Mr. Lawrence's previous request, and he just hoped that he would hand over Van Gogh's "Chestnut Grove" to their Academy of Fine Arts for study.

In this regard, his first reaction was to refuse, if he wanted, then he would have promised Mr. Lawrence a long time ago, there was no need to wait for the other party to invite someone to be a lobbyist.

Mr. Wang said, "It's very necessary." After taking it and researching it, doing a good appraisal to make sure that there is no problem, we can give you the appraisal certificate, and of course, the painting will be returned to you in its original state. We know that it is not easy for you to come all the way from China to get the paintings for appraisal, but we are just anxious for you to complete the appraisal as soon as possible and get this thing done. ”

He Qing smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, you guessed wrong, I didn't come to Switzerland to appraise this painting, but there are other much more important things, and the appraisal of the painting is just done by the way." Mr. Wang, if you came to me just for this matter, then I'm sorry, I can't promise you. ”

He was resolute and didn't mean to think about it.

Seeing that he refused so simply, Mr. Wang looked slightly embarrassed, and said: "I hope you will think about it, hand over the painting to us, and we will set up an IOU for you, and pay you a certain deposit, so that you have no worries." ”

He Qing Zhengse said: "Mr. Lawrence of your Academy of Fine Arts has already told me these words, as for the answer is the same, forgive me for not being able to promise you." Please don't say it again, there is no need to think about this matter for me, in fact, I have already thought about it, it doesn't matter if you give me an appraisal certificate or not, I am going to take it back to China, I will collect it myself, and I think it is no problem. It's just the real thing. ”

He himself had long since decided that something was the real Van Gogh, and there was no doubt about it.

Mr. Wang sighed softly and said, "That's a bit of a pity. But since I've come to you myself, can you take out that painting and show it to me, I'll take a look at it, and I don't mean anything else. ”

He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Yes." That's fine, I'm not the stingy kind of person. ”

Just gave Mr. Wang a look, which is really nothing, and the other party can't take his things.

"Thank you very much." Mr. Wang said happily.

After finishing speaking, He Qing got up and walked to take out the Van Gogh landscape oil painting "Chestnut Forest" and put it on the coffee table for Mr. Wang to appreciate.

"Mr. Wang, this is the painting, you can appraise it." He Qing pointed to the painting.

"Not bad!" After taking a look. Mr. Wang nodded his head in praise hurriedly, and at this moment he obviously couldn't help but be a little excited, probably because he felt excited in his heart after seeing Van Gogh's original handwriting.

"Mr. He, can you take the painting out of the frame and take a closer look at it?" It's not very clear to see this way, but there are generally traces of Van Gogh's works, so there should be nothing wrong with that. It's just not good to be sure. Mr. Wang then pleaded.

He Qing said, "Yes." ”

He readily agreed, and carefully removed the painting from the frame again. Shine it to Mr. Wang without any barriers.

When the original painting was taken out and placed there, Mr. Wang quickly took out the identification tools such as a magnifying glass and a flashlight from the bag he carried with him, and conducted a meticulous forensic examination.

"Yes, very good!" After seeing that it was almost there, Mr. Wang put away his tools. Raising his head, he said, "Whether it is the whole or the subtleties, this painting has traces of Van Gogh's brush, from the style to the brushwork and color, it has the typical characteristics of Van Gogh's works!" ”

He Qing smiled: "Really? Listen to what you mean. This painting should be fine, and it can prove that it is an authentic work of Van Gogh. ”

Mr. Wang nodded solemnly: "Basically, there is no problem, but I can't guarantee 100% that only the major experts of our art academy will be invited to do some research before we can make a decision, after all, there are many high-imitation works now, and many high-imitation works can be fake and real, and it is difficult to see the subtle differences." ”

He Qing smiled indifferently: "Then forget it." ”

As he spoke, he put the painting into a frame, put it away, and put it back in its place to hide it.

"Mr. He, can't you really think about it? If you don't have any loss, we won't charge you an appraisal fee, and we will give you an appraisal completely free of charge. When He Qing turned around and walked back to his seat, Mr. Wang asked again, with a spirit of perseverance.

He Qing shook his head decisively and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have to think about it. ”

"And what are you going to do with this painting?" Mr. Wang asked again.

He Qing said: "I have made it very clear just now, about this painting, I plan to bring it back to China and collect it myself." ”

"Did you find this painting here in Switzerland?" Mr. Wang asked, with a look of disbelief evident in his eyes.

He Qing didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, I received it here in Zurich." ”

"Really?" Mr. Wang's eyes widened slightly, "Then how much did you spend when you received it?" ”

He Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, there's no need to tell you this, right?" You don't need to know any of these things. ”

Mr. Wang said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, just ask by the way, you found such a good painting, it is very likely that you have missed it, and you have picked up a big leak." Congratulations. ”

He Qing said: "Thank you, but it's not a leak, it's hard to say now." ”

"Mr. He, I'm sorry for you, since you don't have that plan, then I won't force you, say goodbye, but maybe we'll meet later."

After chatting about the painting for a while, Mr. Wang said goodbye, He Qing did not agree to give the painting to him, and took it to their art academy for appraisal, he had no choice, the painting was the other party's, and they couldn't force anything.

"Please walk slowly." He Qing nodded, and then asked Wu Qiang, who was sitting on the side, to send the other party out.

After a while, Wu Qiang sent Mr. Wang away and soon walked back.

"Mr. He, when Mr. Wang appraised the painting for you just now, it can be seen that he also approves of the painting." Walking up to He Qing, Wu Qiang spoke.

He Qing nodded and said, "It should be like this, he is more optimistic." ”

"Then why don't they give you a certificate of identification, and you have to give them the painting for study?" Wu Qiang wondered.

He Qing smiled bitterly: "They are deliberately embarrassing people, handing over the painting to them for research, they must be profitable, otherwise they won't be so positive, don't think they are really so attentive, in order to give you a good appraisal and not make mistakes?" You must know that they are just an appraisal agency, and the appraisal is to collect money, and I believe that many high-imitation fakes pass through their hands, and they will also issue appraisal certificates, and they can earn appraisal fees anyway. The more they did this, the more it showed that they were optimistic about the painting, and I was relieved that the purpose of the appraisal was achieved. ”

Wu Qiang asked, "Then do you want to do an appraisal later?" ”

He Qing shook his head without thinking and said: "No, I originally planned to sell it here, after all, this is a foreign oil painting, if you sell it, it may not be sold at an ideal price in China, and its true value can only be realized if it is auctioned by an international auction company, but now I don't think so, I want to take it back and collect it myself, after all, this is Van Gogh's real handiwork, it is rare, and it is worth collecting." ”

Wu Qiang nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, if it is so valuable, it should be well collected, and it will only become more and more valuable if you put it in your hand, and the appreciation space is very high." ”

"yes, that's what I thought." He Qing nodded in reply.

"Mr. He, if there is nothing else, then I will go first, and I can be told at any time if there is something." Wu Qiang then said goodbye.

He Qing nodded and said, "Well, okay, you go and rest, and I'll look for you again if I have something." ”

"Bye-bye." Wu Qiang said goodbye and left.

After Wu Qiang left the room, He Qing sat alone in it for a while.

Later he walked to the restaurant for dinner.

Nothing happened next.

He Qing also slept soundly this night.

The next day, after getting up, I just finished breakfast and was about to rush to the hospital to visit Lin Haitao, who knew that Mr. Wang came to the door again, this time he was not alone, there were two men, both older foreigners.

As the saying goes, "nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace", Mr. Wang visited again, there must be something important.

However, if it was to beg him to take the painting to their art academy for research, it would be useless to bring two more foreigners, even if he invited the president of the country to be a lobbyist, and those who did not agree would not agree. (To be continued...)
