Seeing that the two experts had finished discussing, Vincent hurriedly asked, "Mr. Fred, don't you know that your appraisal results have come out?" ”

Fred nodded: "We all agree that this work is indeed the real work of Leonardo da Vinci!" ”

Listening to Fred's conclusion, Vincent was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't get carried away, since it was an appraisal, then whether it was right or wrong, he had to say the corresponding reason, so he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Fred, I don't know if you can tell me the reason?" ”

"Of course it's okay!"

Fred smiled and said: "I'll talk about painting skills, first of all, you may have heard that Leonardo da Vinci analyzed the relationship between painting and reality according to the view that 'our knowledge comes from perception', pointing out that nature is the source of painting, and painting is the imitator of nature." ”

"In addition, he further elaborated: 'The mind of a painter should be like a mirror, transforming itself into the color of the object, and faithfully taking into the image of an object placed in front of him, and he should know that if you are not a versatile master who can reproduce the form of nature with art, you are not a skilled painter.' That is to say, painting is a reflection of nature in the artist's mind, and it is reproduced through artistic means. ”

Speaking of this, Fred pointed to the oil painting on the table and said: "And this painting of the Virgin and Child with St. Anne and St. John the Baptist precisely interprets this argument of Leonardo da Vinci, faithfully reflecting the form of all things in nature, and combining it with the rich imagination to create an image that does not exist in nature." ”

Secondly, Leonardo da Vinci's vivid depiction of each character's clothing, expressions, and movements allows the personality traits of each character to be fully displayed...... Other than that. He also passionately celebrates the eye and visual ......"

Leonardo da Vinci also pioneered the chiaroscuro method, that is, the transition from light to dark in the portrait is continuous. Like smoke, there is no sharp demarcation. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Madonna and Child with Santa Anna are examples of the use of chiaroscuro. And this work in front of me just shows this very well......"

Next. Fred gave a very detailed introduction to Leonardo da Vinci's painting skills and the various characteristics of this painting, and finally he concluded: "To sum up, we can be very responsible for determining that this work is the real work of Leonardo da Vinci!" It's a pity ......"

Vincent was quite excited and excited, but when he heard Fred's sentence "It's a pity", his heart suddenly "chuckled", and hurriedly asked, "What is a pity?" ”

"This painting is not finished!" Fred's head shook his head and sighed, his expression very pitiful. The appraiser next to him also looked very pitiful.

Vincent was speechless for a while, if the painting was finished, it would not be his turn, but when he mentioned that he was not finished, he immediately thought of another question and asked, "Mr. Fred, why do you think this work was not finished?" ”

Fred said: "I think it's easy to understand, although this work uses Leonardo da Vinci's original chiaroscuro method, there are some places where the expression is not good. It is for this reason that Leonardo da Vinci abandoned the painting. But it is precisely because of this that this painting is very much studied in terms of Leonardo da Vinci's painting technique. ”

At this point, Fred's expression began to become fanatical. No longer calming down as before, he turned his head and asked Chu Chen next to him, "Mr. Chu." I would like to ask, can you tell me the origin of this work? ”

"Mr. Ferred. I'm so sorry, all I can say is. I purchased this work from a regular source, and as for other things, I can't advise you, as a professional appraiser, you should also know some rules. ”

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head, making it clear that he refused, if it was in China, he could be said to have picked it up, but this was not his territory after all. Besides, this work is still hidden in another painting, if Nan Nan only learned the truth, it would definitely turn from jealousy to hatred, plus Nan Nan may have some complicated background, it is likely to be extraordinary, he doesn't want any accidents.

"Mr. Chu, forgive me for taking the liberty ......"

In terms of the source of the other party's antiques, foreign countries are actually similar to those in China, and foreign countries pay more attention to protecting individuals, so hearing Chu Chen say this, Fred hurriedly apologized to Chu Chen.

As soon as Fred's words fell, Vincent hurriedly said, "Come with me......"

After speaking, Vincent and Chu Chen said hello, and then took the two appraisal experts he brought to the side to discuss for a while. As for the content, Chu Chen basically guessed that Vincent just wanted to ask the experts for the quotation of this work.

After a while, Vincent walked up to Chu Chen with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chu, let's talk about the transaction......

For Chu Chen and Vincent, they had no objection to the value of the Da Vinci work, but because Vincent didn't want to take out too much top-quality porcelain, they fell into a stalemate for a while, but the transaction was a process of compromise between the two parties, and in the end, the two each took a step back, and the ending was quite happy.

After lunch, the group came to Vincent's manor, at this time, there were two guests in the manor, a man and a woman, and after Vincent's introduction, Chu Chen knew that these two people were employees of a notary office in Paris.

After Chu Chen's side greeted the notary, Vincent said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, let's go to my treasure room to choose antiques, I have already arranged someone, as long as you think the things are okay, you can pack them immediately." ”

"Can ......"

Afterwards, Vincent took Chu Chen and a few staff members to his treasure room, as for the forensic experts and notaries, let them wait outside, Vincent didn't worry too many people entering his treasure room.

Although he had already used his abilities to identify the authenticity of things, Chu Chen still meticulously and carefully identified all the things involved in the transaction, after all, in front of everyone's eyes, some things still had to be done in place.

While Chu Chen was appraising, the staff next to him carefully packed the antiques, and when Chu Chen finished appraising the last throne, he smiled and said, "Mr. Vincent, it's already okay!" ”

Vincent nodded happily, and then waited for the staff to carry the boxes containing the artifacts out of the treasure room before leading the two to a container truck outside.

"Mr. Chu, I have already packed all the porcelain I gave to you in advance, and in addition to the hundred pieces of porcelain I promised you before, I will give you another two hundred pieces of various cultural relics to express my apologies to my grandfather for participating in that period of history. You can check the authenticity of the thing......"

"Thank you, Mr. Vincent, I think we can definitely become good friends, I hope you will tell me in advance the next time you go to Huaxia, and I will definitely treat you well." As for these things, there is no need to identify them, I believe your credit ......."

Chu Chen didn't expect Vincent to do things so beautifully, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake Vincent's hand, as for the three hundred cultural relics that had been packed in the container, he had already identified them with his ability, each of them was genuine, and as Vincent promised before, the value of each of the hundred pieces of porcelain was more than 50,000 RMB.

Since Chu Chen's inspection process was omitted, the next transaction process was quite fast, and after the two appraisers appraised the painting again and said that there was no problem, Chu Chen and Vincent signed the agreement under the witness of the notary.

Because the agreement did not write the value of the transaction between the two parties, the two notaries did not expect that the transaction amount was as high as more than 2 billion RMB, so when they issued a notarial certificate, this transaction that would shake the world antique world was quietly completed.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

Chu Chen and Vincent shook hands with smiles on their faces, and left with Wu Ke.

Although the price of Leonardo da Vinci's painting may be auctioned at auction is higher than the collection he got this time, but the painting is only a semi-finished product after all, Chu Chen feels that the appreciation potential in the future is definitely not as high as the antiques he got this time.

Therefore, both sides of this transaction have met their expectations, but for the time being, it seems that Chu Chen has suffered a little loss, of course, he has not suffered much, after all, Chu Chen cannot be a fool, and the comparison of the value of the items on both sides exceeds the bottom line in his heart, and he will still trade.

After coming out of Vincent's estate, Chu Chen sent the container truck loaded with priceless treasures directly to the airport, and he had already contacted a friend of his uncle Zhao Qirui, where he chartered an advanced transport plane and equipped to transport these cultural relics directly back to China.

Originally, Vincent told Chu Chen that if there were difficulties in transportation, he could help solve them, but Chu Chen politely declined this offer. These things are now considered Chu Chen's personal belongings, and Youdao is not afraid of 10,000, but he is afraid that in case, he is not at ease to let outsiders deal with these things.

When they arrived at the airport, a man in his thirties who Chu Chen had called before was already waiting for them there, judging from the man's words and deeds, Chu Chen found that the man should have been a soldier, as for what the man did, Chu Chen didn't ask much, although with his identity, it was nothing to inquire, but when he was away, some things could still be avoided.

Next, with the help of the man, Chu Chen's antiques went directly to the customs at an astonishing speed and were safely loaded onto the transport plane. Subsequently, after the man assured Chu Chen that he would deliver the things to their destination safely, he also got on the transport plane together...... (To be continued......)
