After a while, Wu Kecai came back to his senses and asked, "Ah Chen, that Vincent actually has so many national treasure-level collections, he can't be a liar, right?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and smiled: "Even if he lied to me, it doesn't make sense, I don't necessarily say that it is genuine, I will believe what he says, right?" Besides, we have already negotiated to put the place of the transaction in China, and I will definitely ask the master to come over and check it at that time, so the possibility that he will come out with a fake is not high. ”

"That's it!" Wu Ke also reacted immediately when he heard this, Chu Chen's identification ability was very reassuring even for Liu Lao, if the other party took out a fake, he would be able to show his original form immediately if he was looked at by Chu Chen's sharp eyes. And since the location of the transaction is in China, it is even less likely that the other party will deliberately take the fake.

Wu Ke muttered: "In this way, this person is likely to really have so many national treasure-level collections!" That's at least a billion yuan, right? ”

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "More than a billion yuan, if these collections are all true, at the current market price, I estimate that there should be nearly three billion RMB." ”

"Three hundred million RMB, that's not 250 million pounds!" Hearing the price given by Chu Chen, not only Wu Ke, but also Randy's father and daughter immediately showed shocked looks.

After half a ring, Mina came back to her senses and hurriedly asked curiously: "Chu, let me take the liberty of asking, I don't know what deal you have with the person who sent the fax?" Are you going to buy these collections? ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's indeed a transaction, but it's not that I want to buy these collections, but that he wants to use some of these collections to exchange them for one of my paintings." ”

Listen to Chu Chen say this. Mina also seemed a little calmer, she just thought that Chu Chen would spend nearly 250 million pounds to buy these antiques. It was amazing for her.

"Achen. How many of these things are you going to choose? Wu Ke asked.

"It's not necessarily how much, but at least two-thirds of it." Chu Chen replied.

"Wait!"

When Mina heard Chu Chen's words, she was a little confused and asked, "Chu, just now you seem to be saying that you want to exchange a painting for these collections, aren't you?" ”

Seeing Chu Chen nodding, an incredible look suddenly appeared on her face: "Chu." Did I hear me right, you really mean a painting? ”

Chu Chen smiled: "It is indeed a painting." ”

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't seem to be joking, the father and daughter were immediately shocked, and Randy exclaimed with some stammering:

"Oh my God! What kind of painting is that, how can it be so valuable, is it Picasso's? No, even if it is a Picasso painting, there has never been a painting that has such a high auction record! ”

"Yes! Chu, what kind of painting do you have? Mina's eyes widened as she asked.

"It's Raphael's School of Athens." Wu Ke replied with some pride. Chu Chen got such a world-class famous painting with his ability, and she felt that she really had no reason not to be proud.

"Ellie, you're not mistaken, are you? Are you really talking about Raphael's fresco? Randy and Mina asked in unison.

Wu Ke replied with certainty: "It's that work, but Achen's is an oil painting." The scenes and characters have not changed, but they have been reduced in size by Raphael and painted on canvas. ”

"How is this possible?!" At this time, the father and daughter all became dumbfounded. They really couldn't believe that Chu Chen's painting could be genuine.

Chu Chen and Wu Ke could also understand their reactions, after all, this matter was indeed incredible. Basically everyone who hears or sees that painting has the first thought that something is fake.

"There's nothing impossible! Besides. If the paintings were fakes, the owner of this list would not have come to discuss the details with Achen this afternoon! Wu Ke said with a smile.

Hearing this, the father and daughter also reacted, since it was a transaction involving so much money, it was definitely impossible for the other party to negotiate with Chu Chen without confirming the authenticity of the thing. But thinking that there was an identical oil painting in that world masterpiece, the father and daughter were still shocked and didn't know what to say.

Slowly digesting this astonishing news, Mina spoke: "Chu, exchanging such a famous work of Raphael for these porcelain, I think you still have to think about it carefully!" ”

Randy also nodded repeatedly, according to their meaning, such a painting is a treasure that cannot be found at all, if they get it, there is no way to transfer it, and it will definitely be treasured as a family heirloom for generations.

The idea of Randy's father and daughter is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures in Chu Chen's eyes, and he admits that Raphael's work is indeed excellent, and if he can get Vincent's collection in another way, then he will not transfer this work.

But unfortunately, there is no other way now, and for Chu Chen's heart, the significance of these collections on the fax must be higher than Raphael's works.

Chu Chen opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Randy, if I can change the method, I also want to keep the paintings, but I am first of all from Huaxia, and these porcelains undoubtedly have a higher meaning to me than that painting, and some of these porcelains were snatched from our country at the beginning of the last century, and now that I have the opportunity, I will definitely bring them home!" ”

Randy's father and daughter also knew that period of history, and their country also played a disgraceful role in it, although their country was the victor, they could understand Chu Chen's mood and understand the meaning of Chu Chen's words.

Randy thought for a moment and said, "Chu, in that case, as a friend, I think I should remind you that for us Westerners, Raphael's works, especially such world-famous paintings, have a very high status in our hearts. ”

"Therefore, I think you can get a higher price in the process of trading, if the other party does not agree, you can find another buyer, or simply collect it yourself for a period of time, I believe that with the current increase in the price of artworks, the price of your painting will definitely rise like a rocket in the future!"

Mina also agreed with her father and said, "Yes! In the words of your country, you can open your mouth at that time, or you will definitely suffer. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll definitely think carefully about the gains and losses then." Chu Chen smiled and thanked the father and daughter, of course, when he saw this list, he was ready to become Zhou Papi at that time.

After a while, they talked for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

The next day, just after breakfast, Josie, Selina, and Kelly came to meet each other. Then, after the pre-arranged car arrived, everyone said goodbye to Randy and Randy's mother, and got into the car and set off for Kelly's house.

Kelly's house is located in a villa area in the south of Birmingham, because the traffic situation in the UK is very good, more than a hundred kilometers away, and it took them less than an hour and a half to arrive.

Kelly's villa covers an area of about 500 square meters, the whole is a European country style, and it looks very meaningful from a distance, but when the car drives to the gate of the villa, everyone finds that the vegetation in the courtyard looks like it has not been pruned for a long time, making the villa look a little depressed.

Perhaps sensing everyone's inner thoughts, Kelly explained with some embarrassment: "My father's business has been in trouble for several months, and the family's funds are basically used to supplement the company's working capital. ”

Kelly's father's company, which is mainly engaged in construction projects, is also in trouble because of the quality problems of a batch of products they made, and then because of a series of encounters such as liquidated damages and fines, which ultimately affected the operation of the enterprise.

For this kind of thing, although the girls have some pity for Kelly's experience, they can't help much.

As for the capable Chu Chen, he has no interest in Kelly's father's business at all. This is mainly Kelly's father's company, the products produced are relatively non-technical things, and the company's research and development capabilities are also very weak.

Such an enterprise, and the company is far away in England, it is obviously impossible for Chu Chen to invest.

After getting out of the car, the group walked into the villa with Kelly, everyone was looking around while walking, although there were many weeds in the yard, but it could still be seen vaguely that the scenery was still very good when it was trimmed before.

Among the group, except for Chu Chen and Wu Ke, everyone else wanted to have such a villa in the future. Although Qiao Qian had lived in Chu Chen's house for a few days before, she was also very envious of Chu Chen's villa, but compared to here, she still felt that this wish was undoubtedly easier to realize now.

Of course, the three of them just thought about it, and they wouldn't be stupid to say it in the current situation, otherwise what would Kelly think.

Kelly led everyone into the living room, and Kelly's parents, who had already prepared, immediately expressed a warm welcome to everyone's arrival, and served tea and snacks to everyone.

Kelly's father's name is Warren, and he is a somewhat obese, beer-bellied, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and looks like a bald man in his fifties. Perhaps because he had worked too hard for his own business during this time, Chu Chen felt that he looked a little haggard. (To be continued......)
