Chapter 704 Eighty Million US Dollars to Buy (3)

"Mr. He, I'm sorry to bother you again." When he saw He Qing again, Mr. Wang was polite and greeted him with a smile.

He Qing was surprised: "Mr. Wang? Is there anything else you can do? ”

Mr. Wang replied, "There is indeed something to discuss with you. Let me introduce you first, this is Mr. Ross, the vice president of our Academy of Fine Arts, and this colleague of mine, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, is one of the most authoritative experts in the study of Van Gogh's paintings, and he is famous. ”

He pointed to the two foreign men who were following him.

"Hello, Mr. He, it's a pleasure to meet you." Mr. Ross, the vice president of the Academy of Fine Arts, immediately nodded with a smile and said hello, he greeted He Qing in Chinese, although the words he said were "depressed and frustrated", it was very difficult to hear, but He Qing still heard it clearly, and felt more relieved in his heart, the other party tried so hard to greet him in Chinese, which showed respect for himself.

"Hello." He Qing was also polite, greeted politely, and then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ross.

"Mr. Wang, you said that there is something to discuss with me, what is the matter?" Then, He Qing asked bluntly.

The other party even invited the director of their art academy, which must be a very important thing, although the other party has not explained his intention, but he doesn't have to think about it to know, the other three are running for the painting in his hand, besides, what else can he do?

If, like the previous ones, they just came to convince him and wanted to take the painting to their art academy for research, then there was no need to negotiate.

Mr. Wang said unhurriedly, "Can you go in and sit down?" ”

He Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course you can, the three of you can come in." ”

"I'm losing your time." Mr. Wang said politely. And took Mr. Ross and the two followed He Qing into the guest room.

After walking inside, He Qing invited them to sit and enthusiastically poured tea.

"Mr. Wang, can you talk about it now? Why have you come to me? When they sat down to drink tea with Mr. Wang, He Qing asked bluntly and said, "I have friends in the hospital." I still have to rush over to take care of him, so I'm sorry I can't stay with you for too long. ”

Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "I won't occupy you for a long time." Mr. He, I don't know if you thought about it later? ”

"Which thing are you referring to?" He Qing asked rhetorically, his face sank slightly, and he seemed to be a little unhappy, perhaps he had guessed Mr. Wang's intentions.

Mr. Wang replied, "It's the same thing I asked you for yesterday, you give us that painting, and we will do a good appraisal for you." ”

When he said this. He Qing's face changed obviously, and he said lightly: "Mr. Wang, I have already made it very clear to you about that matter yesterday, and I have given you a clear answer. I'm really sorry, but I'm going to take that painting back to China right away, but I can't lend it to you for research and appraisal, and I know it now. There's no need to do it, thank you for your concern. ”

His tone was very resolute. Not in the slightest.

Mr. Wang's face was slightly red, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Mr. He, can't you think about it?" You see, our dean and the most authoritative experts have personally come to ask you, so sincere, I hope you will take care of it. Help us, it can be regarded as helping yourself, with the appraisal of the experts of our art academy, then there will be no problem, if there is an appraisal certificate issued by us. That can be recognized everywhere you go, because our experts are very convincing and convincing to everyone. ”

He Qing smiled meaningfully: "I believe that you are the authoritative department of oil painting appraisal, but that appraisal certificate is really dispensable to me." Mr. Wang, if you come to me today just for this matter, you will be disappointed - you better go back, I have to visit my friend in the hospital. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, obviously with the intention of chasing away the guest.

There is really no need to talk about this matter anymore, and it will only waste the time of both parties if it continues.

Although Mr. Wang brought two heavyweights from their art academy, who seemed to be very sincere, He Qing was not familiar with them at all, why did he give them face and hand over the world's famous paintings worth more than hundreds of millions of dollars to them for research, in case something happened in the middle, it was impossible to say.

Seeing He Qing's unhappy expression, showing the intention of driving people, Mr. Wang's expression became even more embarrassed.

He immediately turned his face away and discussed it with Ross, who were sitting next to him.

"Mr. He, don't worry, let's talk again." Mr. Wang got up and waved his hand, and said with a smile.

He Qing said impatiently: "There's nothing to talk about, right?" ”

He really had no choice but to take Mr. Wang, didn't he just take the painting to their art academy for appraisal, but afterwards they repeatedly asked him to entrust the painting to them for research and appraisal, which was really unrelenting and endless.

Mr. Wang said: "Mr. Ross just said, since you don't agree to hand it over to us for research, can you consider selling it to us directly?" ”

"Sold to you?" He Qing said in surprise.

The other party's sudden request was something he didn't expect for a while, but he couldn't borrow it, and they had the intention of acquiring it.

"Yes, sell it to us." Mr. Wang nodded vigorously.

He Qing said: "To tell you the truth, at first I did have this idea, I wanted to auction the painting abroad, but looking back, it seems that I don't need to rush to sell, so I think about it now, and I am ready to take it back to China, so I will collect it myself first." ”

He told the truth, there is no need to hide Mr. Wang and them, open the skylight and say something bright to let the other party understand.

Mr. Wang smiled: "Since you had this idea before, isn't it done?" I hope you will think about this matter, we sincerely want to talk to you about this deal. ”

"And how much are you going to charge?" He Qing asked casually.

His asking for the price did not mean that he had promised Mr. Wang that he was going to give the painting to them, but that it was just a test to see how much they would look at the painting.

Of course, if the price they offer is high enough to tempt him, then it is not unreasonable to consider it.

After all, it is a foreign oil painting, most of China can't appreciate it, in fact, as far as he is concerned, he doesn't like to collect that kind of painting, rather than spending hundreds of millions of dollars to collect Van Gogh paintings of foreign celebrities, it is better to buy some Chinese porcelain at the same price to play, the viewing value is higher.

Mr. Wang did not answer his question directly, but turned to look at Rose and the others, and discussed with them in a low voice.

After a while, they seemed to have discussed, so Mr. Wang turned around and said, "Mr. He, it seems a bit early to talk about the price now." Mr. Ross said to me, can you take out the painting and show them it first, and then give you a good price? ”

He Qing asked rhetorically: "Aren't you and Mr. Lawrence already good at the painting?" I believe that in the eyes of your two experts, there will be no mistakes, so you know how things are, and you can give the price according to your estimates. ”

Mr. Wang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Mr. He, you have won the award, and your eyesight is not good, how can you be sure?" These two are the real experts, and they can basically be sure. Didn't you just take out the painting and show it to Mr. and Ross, and we wouldn't force you to let us take it away for identification, so we're tired again. ”

He Qing hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed, "Okay." ”

The two experts on the other side made a special trip to request, and the sincerity was still very sufficient, if they just refused them and didn't show them a glance at the painting, it seemed a bit impersonal.

Promising to give them a painting and promising to sell it to them are two different things and cannot be equated.

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

"Wait a minute, I'll get the painting." He Qing said.

Mr. Wang nodded hurriedly and replied, "No hurry." ”

He Qing went to the bedroom to get the painting, and after a while he walked out, took the painting out of the frame, and showed it to Mr. and Ross.

At first sight, it was clear that Mr. Ross and Mr. Jones, who specialized in Van Gogh's paintings, both had bright eyes.

Soon, the two of them excitedly took out their magnifying glasses from their bodies and examined the painting on the coffee table in detail.

During the inspection, the two of them couldn't help but let out exclamations.

Although they spoke a foreign language and couldn't understand a word, He Qing could see through his words and expressions that some of them were admired.

In other words, they, like Mr. Wang and Lawrence, also approve of Van Gogh's "Chestnut Grove" at the moment.

After looking at it for a while, Ross and Jones exchanged ideas, presumably discussing the painting.

"See, right?" He Qing suddenly asked.

Mr. Wang asked Rose a few words, then turned his head to He Qing and said, "Well, I've finished reading it, thank you so much." ”

He Qing shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a gesture." Now that you're done, I'll put the painting away. ”

Then he put the painting away without saying a word.

When he reflexively walked back to his position, Mr. Wang said with a smile: "Just now, the three of us discussed, and we have a preliminary appraisal of your painting, and our opinions have also reached a consensus. ”

"Oh, really?" He Qing asked seriously, "Then what do you think?" ”

Mr. Wang replied: "Our opinion is that this painting does have a certain value, and it looks very close to Van Gogh's authenticity, but whether it is authentic or not has to be confirmed in the next step of identification." In terms of price, we also considered it and felt that this price was more appropriate. ”

"How much?" He Qing asked directly, without beating around the bush at all.

Mr. Wang said: "The preliminary price we identified was 30 million, of course, not in RMB, but in US dollars. (To be continued......)
