Chapter Twenty-Seven: I'll Send a Painting
In the bath, two beautiful women around Guo Yu served, but he was thinking about how to please another woman, Mr. Huang celebrated his birthday, what kind of gift to give, Xiao Ni didn't understand, ask Hu Yunyuan.
"Xiaoyun, what do you say is good to give a gift, someone has a birthday."
"Is it a girl?"
"How is it possible, it's an old gentleman." Guo Yu snorted twice.
"It's troublesome to say that it's troublesome to give gifts, it's easy to say simple, it's easy to say that it's etiquette, taboos, and severity, and you have to take care of it, and if you want to say simple, it's what he likes to give, as long as you know your preferences, it's good to prescribe the right medicine."
Hearing this, Guo Yu suddenly figured it out, yes, the right medicine is the most effective.
Pulled Hu Yunyuan and kissed him, praising my Xiaoyun as the smartest, which made Hu Yunyuan a little embarrassed, turned his head and saw where Xiao Nizi wrinkled his nose, pulled Xiao Ni again, slapped his ass twice, beat Xiao Ni lightly, and after calling it, he was coquettish in Guo Yu's arms, which provoked Guo Yu to laugh.
In fact, a woman doesn't have to coax, sometimes she just feels that you have snubbed her, or you don't pay attention to her, no need to coax, it works to make a fuss, and it is not easy to develop squeamishness.
Three days later in 1915, he returned to modern times, because Mr. Huang's birthday was approaching, and Guo Yu was going to participate.
At six o'clock in the evening, Guo Yu dressed neatly, looked in the mirror, and said to the mirror, you are the most handsome, so you drove your own Bentley, brought a gift, and went straight to Huang's house.
The Huang family has a villa in Causeway Bay for some years. The Huang family developed in Hong Kong very early, but it has not improved much, but this house was purchased many years ago, otherwise with the current financial resources of the Huang family, it would never be able to afford it.
After all, it is an old family in Hong Kong, and there are still a lot of people who intersect, and when Guo Yu arrived, it was almost seven o'clock, and there were many cars parked on this street, and it seemed that they were all here to celebrate his birthday.
Guo Yu took his gift and strode into the gate of the Huang family.
Huang Jiaqiang was standing at the door to greet the guests, and when he saw Guo Yu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands: "Guo Sheng can come, it is really an honor for the Huang family, thank you so much, I must toast you in a while." ”
The two exchanged two words, Guo Yu entered the gate of Huang's house, and saw that there were many people chatting there in the hall, Guo Yu looked around, and saw that Huang Wenjing and a man were really talking, but Huang Wenjing's face was not good-looking, and he didn't seem very happy.
Guo Yu called the servant and asked him to help put the gifts away first, and then went to Huang Wenjing, "Miss Huang, we are really fortunate that you are also here to attend Mr. Huang's birthday today." Guo Yu and Huang Wenjing greeted each other.
"Hello Mr. Guo, you are today, ah, are you my brother's friend?" Huang Wenjing was a little surprised to see Guo Yu.
"Your brother, you mean that Mr. Huang Jiaqiang is your brother, and Mr. Huang and I are business partners, it seems to be a coincidence." Guo Yu also showed a surprised expression.
The two chatted happily, and the man on the side had a gloomy face, rolled his eyes and said, "Ah Jing, don't you help me introduce who this gentleman is," the tone deliberately seemed very close, and then turned to Guo Yu and said: "Hello, my name is Yang Sen, my father is Yang Shoucheng, and I haven't asked for advice yet." After speaking, he looked at Guo Yu.
"Guo Yu" Guo Yu only said two words, and then ignored him, which made Yang Sen's face black for a while.
"Miss Huang, let's go over there and talk, I just wanted to ask about Xiaotian's situation." Guo Yu sent out an invitation.
"Okay, let's sit over there." Huang Wenjing immediately replied, it seemed that she wanted to avoid Yang Sen.
After the two walked away, Yang Sen's face became even more gloomy, and he hated it in his heart, but he didn't know Guo Yu's details, so he didn't dare to attack for the time being.
The children of the big family are not as people imagine, although some of them are not stupid, and those who are stupid are a minority, after all, the education of the big family is more perfect, the resources are richer, and the competition is more fierce, so that these people mature earlier.
The guests expired, the birthday celebration began, the Huang family was not a big family, so there were only more than 20 guests, and there were just two tables, but the abalone and sea cucumber were still indispensable, and the banquet was also very rich.
Everyone toasted to celebrate Huang Lao's birthday, and some people took out gifts and began to offer gifts, including tonic bird's nest shark fin, calligraphy and painting porcelain, and there are also jade gold Buddha directly.
Yang Sen took out his own gift, opened it and looked at everyone, and said: "This is a jade ornament that my father went to the mainland last year to discuss business and purchased, the water species is perfect, and the carved mountains, stones, trees, and ancient temples are lifelike. After speaking, he glanced at Huang Wenjing. Although there are not many words, and the words are ordinary, they just give people a feeling of being overpowered, which makes people very uncomfortable to listen to.
Everyone understands the meaning of his words, and to express his heart, of course, he admires Huang Wenjing's heart.
At this time, a fat businessman close to the Yang family accosted him and said: "I have seen this jadeite, it is said that it was bought for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and now it may be more valuable, Young Master Yang is really generous." ”
Guo Yu was separated by two people from Yang Sen, and he could see it clearly, how to look at it and how to feel familiar, it was familiar there, and suddenly I thought, how do I feel that it is similar to the work that Zhu Guihe made to Guo Yu, the fake jade he sells, isn't it this kind of thief light.
In fact, in the antique shop, when the master looks at the antiques, he sees more and touches more, not only to look at the style, to see the pattern and see the drop, but also to form a feeling, as soon as you get it in your hand and look at it, there is a feeling, right and wrong, at a glance to settle.
Now this thing doesn't feel right for Guo Yu, probably because he sells too much jadeite.
Many guests have discussed, saying that Young Master Yang is so generous, and some people also said that when Yang Shoucheng's boss bought it, he missed it, and the price of such a high-grade jade ornament should be more than one million Hong Kong dollars.
Guo Yu glanced at the inside of the box when he heard this, and then said: "If you buy the real thing, then you really found it and missed it, but you have to be careful, there are many fake jadeites now, don't be deceived." ”
"What does Mr. Guo mean, saying that mine is a fake." Janssen was angry when he heard this.
"I haven't seen it, it's hard to distinguish, but there is a type of fake that is still very easy to distinguish, that is, after the stone is bathed, there will be a certain amount of volatilization when put in the box, which will affect the blackening of the flannel cloth in the box, you see if yours has that kind of situation, I hope not."
After Guo Yu finished speaking, everyone looked over, and Yang Sen himself looked up, and saw that the flannel in the box was indeed a little discolored, Yang Sen quickly picked up the whole piece of jade, and found that the flannel at the bottom was even darker, and Yang Sen's face changed at that time, how ugly it was.
The fat businessman came out to play the round again, saying that it might be dark because of the dust, after all, has it been left for so long.
Everyone didn't want to lose Yang Sen's face too much, so they didn't mention it anymore, but Yang Sen felt that he had lost face, sat down for a while and said: "What kind of gift did Guo Sheng give to Uncle Huang, take it out and let us open our eyes." ”
Guo Yu thought to himself, you are really a good comrade, I will wait for someone to ask, you can send it yourself, otherwise how can I be embarrassed to mention it myself.
Guo Yu asked the servant to give his gift, a square flat cardboard box, after opening it, there was a layer of plastic paper inside, and the report was really tight, and then there was a layer of paper packaging.
After peeling the skin layer by layer, the true face is finally revealed. An oil painting, small in length, 40 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide, is considered a small work, and the picture shows still life such as an apple bottle.
Most of the people present didn't know this thing, and they didn't speak, Yang Sen saw that everyone didn't speak, so he sneered: "Did Mr. Guo paint it himself, it's really sincere, I brought a few apples over, and I don't know if there are apples that are valuable." ”
As soon as Yang Sen finished speaking, before Guo Yu could speak, an old man in his sixties stepped forward, holding the frame with both hands, pressing his face very close, staring intently at the oil painting.
Huang Wenjing hurriedly stepped forward at this time and said, "What's wrong with the teacher." ”
"Look at whose style this is, whose style it is, this is the style of Henri Matisse." The old man was a little excited.
"Henri Matisse, the great French painter who founded Fauvism, how could it be?" Huang Wenjing was also surprised.
"It's not wrong, there's his signature down there, the style, the canvas, the oil paint, and the signature are all right, it shouldn't be wrong. It is 40 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide, and it is a small oil painting. The old man hurriedly said.
Some of the guests stood up to watch, but many more didn't know who Matisse was.
Yang Sen said: "Is it famous? Is the painting worth a lot? ”
Hearing this, Guo Yu laughed in his heart, this fully exposed your ignorance and shallowness, although many things were memorized by Guo Yu last night, but it did not prevent him from selling here: "Henri Matisse and Picasso are known as the two most important painters of the 20th century, it must be very important, this painting has not appeared, nor has it been bought and sold, so I don't know the price, but at Sotheby's auction last year, a painting by Matisse was sold for 9 million, pounds, equivalent to 140 million Hong Kong dollars, I think it's more valuable. ”
The price Guo Yu did not say, this painting is naturally not that valuable, after all, it is a small work, but it can still be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Guo Yu's words were all said to Yang Sen's words, obviously saying that Yang Sen was ignorant, and Yang Sen's face turned green with anger.
