Chapter 346: An Amazing Discovery
PS: Traffic light please support!!
"Pap, papa, papa......" Abbott clapped a few times slowly: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" Mr. Yu, you really didn't disappoint me, a simple pair of earrings can have such a background, interesting, very interesting. β
"Giving gifts, out of love, blindly comparing, just falling into the next grade. Mr. Abbott's spirit of seeking the root of the matter also made Yu Fei very impressed! Yu Fei said lightly. He really didn't understand what Abbott was thinking. Does the value of the gift say anything? He pressed like this, even if he came to the conclusion that the gift Yu Fei sent was not worth anything, what could he do? Will he be able to hold the beauty? This Abbott is not young, how can he still be so naΓ―ve?
Yu Fei's words were thorny, of course Albert could hear it, but he didn't want to entangle with Yu Fei on this issue, but said: "Mr. Yu, as a collector, you shouldn't be unable to see the origin of this painting, right?" β
Yu Fei did not answer directly, but said: "According to what you mean, Mr. Abbott is also very good at Chinese art?" β
Abbott was speechless. What he just said is very illogical, there are many categories of collections, even if it is the same category, it has to be subdivided into various historical periods, for example, the same collection of porcelain, Song porcelain and Ming and Qing porcelain are two different fields, although there are many similarities, but there is a specialization in the art industry, even if it is not connected, it is understandable. What's more, what about two fields that span so much?
"I really can't see that Mr. Yu's mouth is so eloquent." Abbott said disdainfully. He looked down on Yu Fei from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was just a little rich. plus some rhetoric, he is not a gentleman at all, and he is far from himself.
"Mr. Abbott. If it's a gift, then your purpose has been achieved, can you not disturb my time with Alice? Yu Fei said.
In fact, although Yu Fei said so, he also wanted to know the origin of this painting very much, because among the paintings he selected from the morning market in Bloomunse, several of them are very similar in style and brushwork to this one, and maybe they can find any clues from this painting.
Albert's face turned cold. Then he turned to Princess Alice and said, "Your Highness, you should know the origin of this painting, right?" β
Although Alice was disgusted, she still nodded and said, "This painting should be from Master Monet, right?" β
Albert smiled and nodded in praise: "Your Highness is not wrong at all! This painting is none other than that of Master Monet. And I took it for 10 million pounds and gave it to His Highness. β
Yu Fei was taken aback! This broken painting is worth 10 million pounds! This Abbott can't be nonsense, right? But he immediately dismissed the idea, after all, Abbott had bought the item at auction, and a little examination of the auction records would tell if what he said was true or false. He shouldn't lie about that.
Although the peacock silver ear ornament is inlaid with diamonds. It's an item used by Princess Margaret again, but if it is placed at auction, I'm afraid it will be more than 100,000 pounds at most! The difference with the price of 10 million pounds for Abbott's painting is not half a point! In order to chase a girl, this Abbott really invested a lot of money!
Alice's face showed no surprise on her face. It is important to know that Monet Monet is one of the most important painters in France, and most of the theories and practices of Impressionism have been promoted by him, and he is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism. In recent years, his works have appreciated very much. In 1998, Monet's water lilies sold for $80 million in London.
In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer auctions of Monet's works. Many of his works are in the collections of well-known museums or individuals. If a Monet painting appears at any auction, it will definitely cause a sensation.
Alice placed the frame on the table. He said lightly: "Mr. Abbott, this gift is too expensive for me to accept." β
The peacock earrings sent by Yu Fei are worth more than 100,000 pounds, which is actually very valuable, if Yu Fei knows its true value, it is still two to say. The gift from Albert reached 10 million pounds, which was indeed too expensive, and it was reasonable for Alice not to accept it.
Albert originally wanted to use this expensive Monet painting to impress Alice's heart, but because Yu Fei stepped in and made all his plans go to waste, which made him very angry!
"Your Highness, you know my heart, just 10 million is nothing." Abbott said, glancing at Yu Fei with demonstrative eyes. The meaning is very obvious, 10 million is sent if I want to send it here, can you do this? In Abbott's eyes, Yu Fei may not have much even if he has a small asset, and 10 million pounds should be considered an astronomical amount for him.
However, Yu Fei ignored him, and he was now silently comparing the painting he bought in the morning with this Monet's painting.
Because of the chaotic qi, his memory is very amazing. Those paintings were very special because of the chaotic aura, so Yu Fei looked at them a few more times, and at this time, they were even more delicate in his mind. After careful comparison, he felt that his paintings and this one by Albert were most likely from the same person! Does that mean that his six paintings are also Monet's works? It's incredible, think about it, if one Monet painting is worth 10 million pounds, then aren't your six paintings 60 million pounds? If it is converted to RMB, it will be 600 million! I actually picked up such a big leak in one morning! And that's not counting the other paintings. Yu Fei had a hunch that although the other nearly ten paintings were not Monet's works, they were definitely from famous artists.
Of course, Yu Fei also knew that if it was really auctioned, Yu Fei would not be able to get 60 million pounds at once. After all, although Monet's works are very popular, one of the important reasons is that scarcity is expensive, and there are too few Monet's paintings in circulation. If Yu Fei took out six works for auction at once, it was very likely that the auction price would be lowered.
But what Yu Fei didn't think about was that the price of Monet's works was also high and low. The price of Abbot's painting should only be considered midstream, and three or four of Yu Fei's six paintings are better than his one, and the auction price will be higher. Of course, everything depends on the collector's hobby and the situation at the auction site. Sometimes some good things can't afford to fetch a price, and sometimes some ordinary things can fetch sky-high prices. So in the auction house, everything is out of the question.
Seeing Yu Fei silent, Abbott became more and more proud.
Poor boy, you should retreat now, right?
"Your Highness, there are times when I am really worried about your vision, as your friend, I sincerely hope that you can distinguish the people around you, who are worthy of your friendship and who are not worthy of ......" When Abbott said this, his eyes kept staring at Yu Fei, and his meaning was self-evident.
"Shut up!" Unexpectedly, Alice suddenly scolded loudly: "Abbott, you are too presumptuous! What kind of friends I make is my choice, it's not your turn to put your beak! You are not welcome here, please leave immediately! Bernie, send-off! β
Alice spoke in a way that Abbott had never seen before. He didn't expect that the gentle and polite Alice would be so angry because of a Chinese man like Yu Fei, and make himself so embarrassed.
Albert's handsome face flushed, and he stood up indignantly. Unexpectedly, Yu Fei said at this time: "Monet's painting? I do have a few of them. β
Yu Fei's tone was light, as if he was saying a very simple fact. Yu Fei dared to say this, in addition to comparing the styles and brushwork of these paintings, there is another important reason, that is, the chaotic qi in these paintings is very similar.
Albert Haruha sneered and said, "Don't be ashamed, beware of blowing the cowhide!" β
He didn't believe that Yu Fei really had Monet's paintings, let alone how many? He still thought it was Yu Fei who opened his mouth and regained face?
Not only did he think so, but Alice thought so too.
"Yu ......" Alice wanted to speak and stopped, obviously unwilling to let Yu Fei talk here, not only could not earn face, but would be even more embarrassed.
"What? Want to take a look? Yu Fei shrugged his shoulders and said with great ease.
"I can't ask for it!" Abbott said with a grim face. (To be continued......)
