Auction of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, not only can bring a lot of economic benefits, but also can greatly enhance the popularity of the auction house, the world's auction houses are more famous, just a few, the competition between peers is very fierce, the means of competition are endless, threats, intimidation, seduction, destruction, and even stealing each other's auction items, this is nothing, just kill people directly, now well, there are Leonardo da Vinci's paintings here, then everyone can see the real chapter in the competition, Whoever can get permission to auction Leonardo da Vinci's paintings will definitely be able to overwhelm the others in terms of momentum.

This Denise is followed by three people, these three people belong to three different auction houses, their three auction houses are basically the world's three largest auction houses, the competition is also very understandable, these three people are the general manager level of their respective auction houses, they have been solemnly instructed by their own board of directors before they come here, no matter what, they must get the auction power of this Da Vinci painting, and the board of directors gave them huge power, at this time the three of them sat together, sneered at each other and looked at the other two guys, and when Chu Ming arrived, after Da Vinci's painting was taken out, there would be an invisible bloody rain.

This café has been contracted by Dennis, anyway, this money will be reimbursed by the auction that has obtained the auction power, besides, Dennis can also get two thick commissions through Chu Ming and the auction, therefore, to charter a café located around Times Square, Dennis does not frown, and now Dennis is also rich!

Finally, the wind chimes at the door of the café rang, and Dennis hurriedly looked towards the door, but after seeing the person who came, Dennis couldn't help frowning, the person who came was naturally Chu Ming, but Chu Ming's appearance had changed a lot, especially the temperament, which made Dennis a little afraid to admit it, but Dennis also saw Chu Ming's original shadow on Chu Ming's body, when Chu Ming walked towards Dennis, Dennis also determined Chu Ming's identity in his heart, At the same time, Dennis also saw the huge picture frame-like thing wrapped in kraft paper that Chu Ming was holding in his hand, no need to ask, this thing was naturally the Da Vinci painting that Chu Ming carried.

"Boss, boss" Dennis hurriedly got up to greet Chu Ming, and the three auction guys also got up suddenly, truthed their clothes, and prepared to give Chu Ming a good first impression, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, they all have the habit of looking at people first and looking at their clothes, and none of the three of them wants to lose the auction power of the painting in Chu Ming's hand.

"Hey, Dennis" Chu Ming said hello after seeing Dennis's smiling face, "Boss, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you have become almost unrecognizable to me, I take the liberty of asking, have you gone to South Korea?" Dennis looked at Chu Ming's face, which was more handsome than before, and asked Chu Ming, as soon as Chu Ming heard Dennis's words, his face turned dark at that time, what do you mean by going to South Korea, good guy, does Chu Ming still need to go to South Korea? Chu Ming still can't look down on the plastic surgery skills of the men's sticks, those women who have been rectified by them, whose faces will not collapse when the time comes? Chu Ming has the biochemical technology of the Resident Evil world, not to mention anything else, Chu Ming's plastic surgery technology is definitely stronger than the plastic surgery technology of any male stick doctor!

"I just put on a few masks" Chu Ming said with a dark face, Dennis naturally didn't believe it, wearing a mask can make a big difference? Who are you bluffing, but Chu Ming is reluctant to say that Dennis is not the kind of guy who has no eyesight, so naturally he will not ask anything more.

"Boss, let me introduce, this is Mr. James from Shide Auction House" Dennis pointed to one of the three auction house managers who stood up and explained to Chu Ming, "Hello, my name is Chu Ming, Chinese" Chu Ming reached out and shook James's hand and said simply, "Hello, on behalf of Shide Auction House, I very much hope that Mr. Chu Ming can hand over Leonardo da Vinci's paintings to us for auction, we guarantee that we will not charge any handling fees, and once there are any problems with the paintings during the auction process, We will pay you according to the highest price in the market, and we will give Mr. Diamond membership status, and we will not charge any fee for Mr. to auction anything in our auction house in the future! Jaime said to Chu Ming, I have to say that the conditions proposed by Jaime are really good.

"Of course, the premise of all this is that the paintings you brought are real, Mr. Leonardo da Vinci's authentic works, otherwise anything I said before would not be realized" After James finished saying good things, he said something offending people, this sentence he must say, there is no way, the auction house, the most important thing to ensure is that the things you auction are real.

"Don't think about it, it's up to you, take it to the test, I'm very confident in the authenticity of the painting" Chu Ming finished speaking, and before the managers of the other two auction houses could say anything, he directly handed over the "Girl in the Morning Light" wrapped in vellum paper to James, and the other two people who looked at it were stunned, "Mr. Chu Ming, please don't make such a hasty decision, our Emperor Auction House is one of the largest auction houses in the world, our strength is stronger than Shide, your paintings are in our Emperor Auction, The price will definitely be much higher than the auction at Shida! "Mr. Chu Ming, please be sure to consider our Sotheby's auction house, this noon, I want to treat you to a French meal at the World Trade Center, and I invited Taylor and Scarlett as escorts" At this time, the managers of the other two auction houses were anxious.

"I'm sorry, who asked Jaime to be the first person introduced by Dennis, I personally trust Dennis, James, please start the appraisal now" Chu Ming said simply, then didn't say anything more, and immediately blocked the way for the other two people to speak, the two of them were like ants on a hot pot, while Jaime carefully held the painting, and took Chu Ming out of the café with a happy heart, and went to the appraisal center of their auction house in New York.

Two hours later, in a splendid palace-like hall, Chu Ming was reading a book of auction agreements that was full of thickness, and on the other side, several gray-haired old appraisal experts were holding magnifying glasses, doing the most delicate examination of "The Girl in the Morning Light", which was more careful than performing brain surgery on a patient.

"The test results of carbon 14 are out" At this time, a technician sent an appraisal report, several old experts looked at it a few times, and then nodded one after another, several of them got together and muttered for a while, and then told their appraisal results to Jaime, who was waiting on the side to receive Chu Ming, after James listened to the appraisal results, there was a spring-like smile on his originally nervous face.

"Mr. Chu, the appraisal results are out, your "Girl in the Morning Light" is indeed Mr. Leonardo da Vinci's authentic handiwork, and it is the best of the authentic works, if she appeared a hundred years earlier, it is estimated that the treasure of the Louvre Museum is not "Mona Lisa's Smile", but this "Girl in the Morning Light" After James heard that Chu Ming's painting was genuine, he was also excited, don't want it, the real work is good, the real work is valuable.

"Since there is no problem with this painting, I hope to auction it as soon as possible, and at the latest in half a month, I want you to auction it out!" After reading the auction agreement at a glance, Chu Ming said to Jaime that there is no problem with the agreement, and Chu Ming will not fall into any legal trap.

"What? Half a month? Mr. Chu Ming, you may not know that the more precious the art is auctioned, the longer it will take to warm up, and the auction of national treasure-level artworks will even warm up for half a year, so that on the one hand, it is to give the artwork enough exposure time, on the other hand, it is also to let those rich people have time to run the cash, and also to let the art auction at a higher price. James said to Chu Ming, it is indeed too hasty to auction a world-class super artwork in half a month.

"No, for many reasons, I can only give you half a month, if you don't think it's okay, I'll go to Sotheby's now, I think they should be happy to see me go and return" Chu Ming said to James, as soon as James heard Chu Ming say this, he was anxious, and after saying a few sorry words to Chu Ming, he took out his mobile phone and called his big boss behind the scenes, and after muttering for more than ten minutes, James finally agreed to Chu Ming's request and gave Chu Ming' If the auction price is less than one billion US dollars, the Shide auction house will pay for Chu Ming out of his own pocket, and then Chu Ming happily signed the auction agreement.

Just ten minutes after the auction agreement was signed, an explosive news was pushed to the headlines of most of the mainstream media around the world, that is, "Leonardo da Vinci's legendary pinnacle painting "The Girl in the Morning Light" will be auctioned in New York in half a month! Suddenly, the whole world exploded, the art world exploded, countless crazy artists hoped to admire Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the press exploded, countless reporters hoped to shoot at close range, reporting on this piece of "Girl in the Morning Light", which is said to be comparable to "Mona Lisa's Smile", the rich world exploded, especially the poor guys in the Middle East who only have oil and banknotes, they have the most cash in their hands, and they began to withdraw cash crazily, Get ready to buy this world legend and become your family's heirloom! The Internet also exploded, netizens began to eat melons, and UNESCO also came to shoot and study "The Girl in the Morning Light", hoping to compile it into the world's textbooks, but it was rejected by the Shide auction house.

Leonardo da Vinci's painting was like a spring thunder, blowing up the whole world, and the French people held up banners, hoping that the government would come forward and buy the painting to add another national treasure to the Louvre.

The people of Italy also exploded, and they frantically poured into the streets to denounce the banditry of the French! Leonardo da Vinci is Italian, as a result, most of Leonardo da Vinci's works were hidden in the museum by the French, they absolutely did not allow this "Girl in the Morning Light" to fall into the hands of the despicable French, under the pressure of public opinion, the Italian government said that it would do its best to welcome the national treasure, but considering the government financial deficit and so on, this plan is likely to fail, Brabra said a lot, and then the Italian government was sprayed into a sieve by the Italians.

As for Chu Ming, he was at home and holding Galadriel, who had recently become a thief, and Louise was wrapped around Chu Ming's body, feeding Chu Ming fruit with her mouth, in the TV set, all the TV stations were reporting on the painting "The Girl in the Morning Light", no matter which station it was, the TV series was no longer played, and the advertisements were not inserted, it was constantly reporting "The Girl in the Morning Light", Chu Ming is now looking at an old expert with white hair and beard evaluating "The Girl in the Morning Light".

The old expert said the core idea of this painting from the technique, technique and layout of this painting, the brilliance of human nature in "Mona Lisa's Smile" is relatively subtle, and the humanist thought is deeply hidden, but "The Girl in the Morning Light" directly paints the core idea of people-oriented on the paper, without the aura of those gods, what serious expressions, there are just human appearances, human smiles, everything is human-centered, not God-centered.

The old expert said that in that era, Leonardo da Vinci painted such a painting, but he was afraid that he would be imprisoned in the Inquisition, saying that, the old expert claimed to be moved by Leonardo da Vinci's great humanist thoughts, and actually cried, Chu Ming was stunned when he saw it, no matter how people interpreted this painting, half a month passed, and Shide Auction House publicly auctioned this "Girl in the Morning Light" at the New York Auction Center.

I went to the field to do farm work today, and the update was a little late, so forgive me.
