Chapter 11 Birds in Foreign Languages

That night, the two of them nervously guarded the pile of oil paintings, for fear of accidents. As a result, in the morning, Li Ye and Wilson sat on the ground with dark circles under their eyes.

The sky lit up slightly, and Li Ye looked at the dark circles under the other party's eyes and yawned. Fortunately, at about six o'clock in the morning, Li Ye heard the sound of helicopters, and looking out of the window, Li Ye saw two helicopters flying towards the castle.

Wilson's cell phone rang too, and he was answering the call as he walked out.

Li Ye looked at the helicopter that was slowly landing, and muttered in his heart: "This is too casual, it seems that we have to quickly establish a military defense on the island, otherwise anyone can come here casually." ”

Li Ye hurriedly called his sister up, ignoring her sleepy eyes and reluctance. After a while, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Wilson was looking for someone from Christie's, who happened to know Mark, the president of Christie's North America.

Christie's is one of the top two auction houses in the world, the other being Sotheby's. Their auctions bring together art, jewelry, and other luxury goods from around the globe.

The reason why Li Ye knew about Christie's auction house was because a few years ago, the auction house openly auctioned the beast head of the Old Summer Palace in China, which caused an uproar among Chinese people around the world.

The two sides introduced each other, and Li Ye learned that it was Mark who came in person. Mark greeted Li Ye with a very graceful Chinese 'hello'.

When he saw Li Xin behind Li Ye, he praised her for being a beautiful little girl, and made the little girl happy as if she was something.

This made Li Ye look at the other party's eyes not very good! I hope that when the appraisal will be made, it is best to treat the fake as the real one.

Fortunately, everyone knew what they were doing this time, and as the appraisal work began, the experts brought by Mark hurriedly rushed to those oil paintings.

Especially seeing Li Ye put those oil paintings on the ground at will, which made those experts scold after reading them, which made Li Ye and Wilson extremely embarrassed.

Mark next to him quickly apologized when he saw it, and Li Ye and Wilson shook their heads to show that they didn't mind. How dare they say anything, after all, these are indeed what they put at will.

The appraisal of the oil paintings was very slow, and it was not until the afternoon that the experts finished the appraisal, and Mark walked over to talk to the experts. Li Ye could clearly see that Mark's expression was becoming more and more serious.

Li Ye's heart also slowly lifted, don't tell him that those oil paintings are fakes later. He couldn't guarantee that his little heart would be able to withstand the news. Especially Van Gogh's sunflowers.

Van Gogh painted a total of 11 sunflowers in his lifetime, of which only 7 are currently in the world, and the remaining 4 are missing. If Li Ye's picture is real, then it should be the eighth in the world.

About twenty minutes later, Mark walked over after the exchange. Li Ye looked at him expectantly, hoping to hear good news from his mouth.

Mark came to Li Ye, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and after stretching out his hand to shake hands with Li Ye, he shook his wrist and said in an accentuated tone: "Congratulations, Li, you are about to become a billionaire." ”

After Li Ye heard this, his brain immediately went blank, and a smirk appeared on his face unconsciously, and he shook the hands of the two of them excitedly for a long time: "Thank you, hahaha, thank you, thank you for the treasure left by the old man Bokata......"

Wilson sighed with emotion, while showing a helpless look, feeling that he saw the birth of Van Gogh's eighth sunflower with his own eyes, and helplessly because his mission must not be completed.

The two sides praised each other, and then praised the Polkadot family. After Li Ye calmed down, Mark continued: "Li, I also have bad news for you, 8 of your oil paintings are fakes. ”

Then Mark told Li Ye the detailed information.

There are a total of 63 of these paintings, of which 55 are preliminarily authentic, and as for the sunflower one, it is unsurprisingly authentic, but Mark means that it is best to carefully examine it in New York.

But the only thing that is worth it is this sunflower. Of the remaining 54 paintings, the most expensive is more than 10 million US dollars, which is called "The Heart of the Crow", and what is it called "The Withered Heart of the Crow". Li Ye glanced at it, like a ghost drawing, Wilson said This is abstraction, you don't understand.

Most of the rest are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to a million dollars. It's not very valuable, but it's better than the quantity. The paintings alone are valued at at least $40 million by these experts. According to the auction house's estimates, it can eventually reach around 55 million.

Hearing the news, Li Ye was so happy that he opened his mouth. Wilson next to him was depressed. Fortunately, what made him happy was that the painting that Li Ye gave him was real, and the expert estimated that it was about 1 million US dollars.

This made him cry and laugh a little, and his mood was even more depressed for a while.

Regarding Mark's suggestion to go back to New York, Li Ye thought about it for a while and immediately agreed, it was already empty here, and there were unstable factors, so he was still worried about staying here.

After seeing Li Ye's consent, the group immediately began to carry these oil paintings. However, those experts didn't let Li Ye touch these oil paintings, for fear that he would destroy them.

The group, plus Li Ye and three people, plus a parrot, got on the helicopter.

The parrot was brought back by the little girl last night, and she was all kinds of greasy with the little girl. Sure enough, after seeing Li Ye, this parrot opened its mouth and shut up the bitch.

Especially after seeing the paintings on the bed, the parrot named Bobby soon let out a scream, as if he thought it was someone who had been raped.

Then all kinds of foul language spread from downstairs to upstairs.

In short, Li Ye's title went from bitch, shit, and garbage, to a dirty thief, and a robber in the garbage heap.

No sooner had it gotten on the plane, and the parrot looked around and barked again.

"Fake, you thief, where are you going to take Uncle Ben, I tell you that I swear to death, you ...... trash"

"Again, I'll throw you out, and you'll not be allowed to live in my castle from now on. Li Ye looked at it lightly and said.

Hearing this, the red-headed parrot immediately closed its mouth and looked at its little head. Honestly stay in Li Xinran's arms and enjoy the service of the little girl.

This stunned Mark on the side.

"Lee, are you a macaw?" asked Mark, who had been observing for a while, in surprise.

"Well, it seems to have been raised by old Poka. Li Ye explained and was silent.

Looking at Mark's expression, you can see that he seems to like this parrot very much. But Li Ye glanced at his sister, who was nervously holding the bird, and with a frightened expression, he clearly said, I won't give you this bird!

"Look at your mother! I haven't seen a bird! Your mother has blown up!"

The sudden Chinese made Li Ye's eyes almost fall off. After glancing at Wilson, the two looked at the parrot in Li Xinran's arms together.

When will this parrot speak Chinese?

"Lee, what did it just say?" Mark asked, confused.

"Uh- it's complimenting you on being handsome, yes, it's complimenting you on how handsome you look. Li Ye wiped his sweat and quickly explained, Wilson on the side was just smiling, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him.

Li Ye gave him a look and turned to look at his sister.

"I just let it look at the phone for a while. Li Xinran explained in a whisper.

After Li Ye heard it, the egg looked at the parrot looking around painfully, although it had a clever energy in its eyes, but this is too 6, right, can you learn Chinese in one day?
