Since we already know that this is Picasso's original work, we can't just dispose of it casually, and we must sell it for a good price. Picasso's paintings have no market in China, and it is best to put them at auction internationally, and only Europeans and Americans prefer this series.

After thinking about it, Wang Hao subconsciously thought of the auction house, because when he was an accountant before, he found out in the company's account sheet that the company had financial transactions with Sotheby's auction house. At that time, he also went out of his way to learn about the background of this auction house, and now he just needs it.

Sotheby's has chain auction agencies or offices in more than 30 countries and regions and more than 100 cities around the world, including 2 chains and 16 offices in the UK; In the United States, there is a national chain headquarters and 27 offices. Even in Chinese mainland, Sotheby's is a well-deserved NO.1. As the hegemon of the international art auction market, Sotheby's has an excellent reputation among the upper class, and has auctioned a series of works of art.

Among them, the auction of the bronze head of the Old Summer Palace that aroused the anger of the Chinese people is Sotheby's, and the capitals of tigers, horses, and monkeys flowed out of this auction house, not to mention painters such as Picasso and Van Gogh.

Although it has set up a branch in Rongcheng, the auction price in Rongcheng is not comparable to that of the international one, so Wang Hao mainly wants to contact the headquarters of Sotheby's in Rongcheng and auction it at a large auction at that time.

Not everything can be put on the auction house, it has to be appraised. The biggest advantage of the Internet age is that it is very easy to find a phone number, after all, Sotheby's is so famous.

"Hey, hello, this is Sotheby's Chengdu Branch, can I help you?"

After dialing the phone, a sweet voice reached Wang Hao's ears, cute, and it almost scratched his heart.

Wang Hao didn't forget his business, he coughed lightly and asked, "I have something I want your auction house to help identify it, and if I can, I will entrust the auction house to help with the auction." ”

"Okay, you can send things to the north of the first ring road, our company will charge a certain appraisal fee, and authoritative certification is an international standard. Do you need to make an appointment for you now? The cute girl's voice is particularly pleasant, and she does things without leakage.

After registering his name, Wang Hao reacted, "By the way, how much is this appraisal fee?" "If it's too expensive, he can't afford it now, he has used a lot of money to make regular investment in the fund before, and it costs a lot to go to Shennongjia.

"Please rest assured, we charge according to the same standard around the world, with an appraisal fee of US$500 per artwork and a contract of RMB 3,000."

Fortunately, it was only 3,000 yuan, he looked at his credit card, and muttered silently: "It must be genuine, otherwise it will be a waste of 3,000 yuan, which is my previous month's salary!" ”

Because it's for identification, you can't always put it in the space ring, but if you hold it in your hand and it's damaged a little, shouldn't you die of heartache? He hesitated, but still held the painting and flagged down a taxi on the side of the road.

This is Sotheby's third representative office in the mainland, the first two are the imperial capital and the magic capital, which can allow the world's famous auction houses to set up representative offices here, and the spending power of the rich people in Rongcheng is naturally extraordinary.

After explaining his intention to the lady at the front desk, Wang Hao was taken upstairs by another beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam. The environment here is very quiet, quiet in the middle of noisy, and a large number of Chinese-style costumes make Wang Hao a little sideways. A few green bamboo potted plants, carved hollow windows, blue and white porcelain vases placed on the wooden table, antique.

There wasn't much to talk to, except for the occasional handful of staff nodding to each other, and there were very few customers.

"Please come in!" The cheongsam woman opened the door and made an inviting gesture, which looked very eye-catching. She waited until Wang Hao entered, then gently closed the door and left by herself.

Curiously looking at the environment here, Wang Hao had to admit the background of a large company, a middle-aged man in a suit walked up to Wang Hao, stretched out his right hand, and said: "Hello, I am Li Chen, from the British headquarters, and I am responsible for appraising your paintings today." ”

Wang Hao also stretched out his hand, shook hands with him, and asked, "If the appraisal is genuine, can I entrust your British headquarters to conduct an auction?" ”

Li Chen has seen a lot of such people, thinking that he can really find good things, many people who come to the appraisal do not believe that their will be fakes, many of them have the same thoughts as Wang Hao. But the good work ethic didn't make him look disdainful.

He put on white rubber gloves and said softly: "Put the painting down, I will start the appraisal, if the appraisal is genuine, we will also have an appraiser to appraisal, and then evaluate the price, if it meets the standard, it will notify the British headquarters, please rest assured." ”

Wang Hao carefully placed the painting on the table, and gently untied the cowhide case, revealing his true face.

When Li Chen saw this painting, he couldn't help frowning, he picked up a black magnifying glass from the table, and the whole person was almost attached to this painting, his surprised face did not hide Wang Hao's eyes.

Looking at it seriously, he said to himself: "This style of painting is Picasso's, which is consistent with his later style, such a rare glass painting technique, how can this painting not be seen?" ”

After hearing Li Chen's words, Wang Hao added softly: "There is a small line of words on the back of this painting, you should pay attention when you turn it over, don't break the glass!" ”

When it comes to his own professional field, Li Chen glared at Wang Hao fiercely, and he said: "I have seen it a long time ago, there is no need to turn it over, this is a glass painting, transparent." ”

Time passed little by little, and Li Chen was still studying, or it could be described as appreciation. Wang Hao sat on the side, holding a bottle of mineral water, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Li, has this painting been identified?" ”

Li Chen straightened up, nodded, and said, "After my preliminary identification, this painting was painted by Picasso to give to his lover Marie Tracy?" Walter's glass paintings should be admired at home and used as decorations. However, I still need to do a few small appraisals, and apply for an appraiser to do them for free, which may take a little time, but don't worry. ”

Now there is only one voice left in Wang Hao's heart, this painting is real, it is true!! It doesn't matter who he's giving it to, as long as it's true, he touched the ring on his little finger with his hand, and smiled happily.

After Li Chen contacted a few people with the phone on the desk next to him, he said solemnly to Wang Hao: "If the next quiz is correct, then this painting will definitely be able to go to the auction of the headquarters, and it just so happens that the British headquarters is now preparing for the largest auction in the autumn." As for the handling fee and the like, there will be a special manager to discuss with you, and I will only be responsible for the appraisal. ”

"It's okay, I trust your Sotheby's brand more, it's impossible to mess it up."

Just as he was talking, several foreigners pushed the door and walked in, and they didn't say hello to Wang Hao and Li Chen, but went straight to the glass painting.

"Oh my God, I can still see this painting in my lifetime, it's been missing for so many years, I thought it was all broken!"

"Look at the style of painting, it looks like Picasso, this is a painting he made when he was separated from Mary, can it be kept as a souvenir?"

"It's so well preserved, it's one of Picasso's very few glass paintings."

"The Girl in the Red Riding Hood, Mary Tracy? Walter is his muse! ”

"This is probably painted by Picasso between 1954 and 1956, to do a carbon dating."

Listening to the words of these foreigners, Wang Hao was completely relieved. At this time, a white man appeared in front of Wang Hao: "Hello, I'm Charlie, now let's discuss the auction." ”

Come and see the Great Juggernaut
