Chapter 256 can also do the same

The appraisal work lasted for a whole week, and to Qin Mubai's surprise, the task didn't come, I don't know if King Chu Jiang's conscience found out, or if this guy was absolutely embarrassed to face himself. However, Qin Mubai felt that these two reasons were unreliable.

That guy doesn't have any conscience, but that's okay, it just so happens that all the appraisal work has ended today, and the most important thing is that Shanmir and Hu Xingwen seem to have reached an agreement.

"Mr. Qin, after our appraisal, we can already confirm that these paintings are genuine, and we can give a certificate of authenticity. "Sanmir was very splacent about the results, which was the overall opinion of their entire team.

"And we have also contacted those experts and scholars who have studied Van Gogh in the Netherlands for a lifetime, and they have indeed studied from some ancient books, Van Gogh seems to know an Asian, but because there are not many records left, they can't give a positive answer, but from some ancient books, they conclude that Van Gogh should know an Asian, maybe Mr. Qin, your ancestor. Sanmir said respectfully.

Qin Mubai's expression was strange, but he couldn't help it, Van Gogh knew a fart Asian, Van Gogh at that time said it bluntly, he was a person who lived at the lowest level of society, and no one would pay attention to him, so there were naturally not many records left by Van Gogh during the same period.

At that time, many historical research materials about Van Gogh were actually interviews with people who knew Van Gogh later, because Van Gogh died very young, and Van Gogh began to become famous soon after his death, and then someone began to sort out and record these.

Naturally, most of the people who lived with Van Gogh were alive, and the words of these people can naturally be used as historical proof, and these research materials are actually derived from this.

The real official classics record that there was a fart, Van Gogh was an ordinary fart at that time, who would record him. So in these research materials, some people may mention this, but these people must have used an uncertain tone at the time.

For example, let's say that a neighbor of yours dies, usually your neighbor is more withdrawn, you are just very close to the place where he lives, but the two people basically have little intersection, but after your neighbor dies, he suddenly becomes famous, and then a reporter comes to interview him.

At this time, I interviewed you, and I said something that you know, but there is something you don't know, would you use some ambiguity to say something you think? I'm sure most people will. So even though Van Gogh's history is very close to modern times, many things are actually impossible to verify.

At that time, there were Asians in Europe, which is not unimaginable, after all, it was the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, and the Qing Dynasty at that time was almost finished. Britain launched the Opium War against the Qing Dynasty long ago.

"I see, I thought these paintings were fakes. Qin Mubai immediately said with a smile.

"No, no, no, they are not fakes, they are genuine works, and they are one of the greatest discoveries in the world! Mr. Qin, thank you for putting these things up for auction instead of keeping them for your own collection, because you have made people know another Van Gogh! Another Van Gogh who has thrown away the haze in his heart, and the loneliness, depression, depression, and other negative emotions in his past heart! This is a great Van Gogh! These paintings represent an era! The beginning of a new era!" Professor Hamilton next to him directly interfaced!

Qin Mubai was a little speechless, but what Hamilton said was too much, "Of course, I believe that you may not like to hear these Mr. Qin, but you must know that these also represent that your paintings have great value! It is worth a lot of dollars." Sanmir humorously answered.

"Well, it looks like this one is easier to understand. Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.

Luckily, I didn't let Van Gogh paint that much, otherwise you'd all be crazy.

"Now, Mr. Qin, would you like to send a few paintings to the auction house?"

"Three, Doctor Gachet, sunflowers, the remaining birds and the field of dreams, you choose one. Qin Mubai said very simply, since he promised Professor Hu to sell them one, Qin Mubai would not break his promise. Birds or a dream field have a pair left for them.

"Mr. Qin, can you take a step to speak?" Shan Mi directly pulled Qin Mubai over and asked.

"You say. Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, we can reduce the agency fee of our auction house to 6%, which is the lowest agency price in history. "Shanmir came up and gave Qin Mubai a big gift.

But Qin Mubai didn't care, he could understand this, any one of these paintings could be regarded as the finale of a large-scale auction! And now that they are gathered together, this adds up to at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and any auction house will go crazy.

6% is just the lowest price in the industry, and if you encounter a little crazy, a free auction is not impossible.

"I'll even give you an application for as little as 5%. Sanmir added.

"What do you want?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"You don't plan to auction those two, but we ask you to spread the word. Sanmir spoke immediately.

Qin Mubai knew that he was talking about the portrait that Van Gogh painted for him, as well as the huge huge oil painting.

"Yes. "Propaganda is to increase the value of his paintings, and Qin Mubai naturally has no opinion.

"Second, the four paintings are all handed over to us for auction, we know what you mean, there is a painting that is going to be handed over to the Palace Museum, right? I have already discussed with Professor Hu, if you want, you can negotiate the price privately, and then they will auction your paintings at the auction house, but the final transaction price will be according to what you have negotiated privately. Sanmir whispered.

Qin Mubai's expression immediately became strange, Damn, and this operation?

However, Qin Mubai probably knew what they meant, in fact, it was nothing more than exalting the value of the entire painting.

"I can agree, but I have to discuss it with Professor Hu and them. Qin Mubai thought about it and initially agreed.

"No problem, can we take these four paintings with us first? If we can, we'll call the relevant staff at headquarters. Also, Mr. Qin, do you still auction your other paintings, especially the dinosaur picture. Shanmir said quickly.

After a pause, he shook his head and said, "This one will not be auctioned first, you can sell these four paintings first." Qin Mubai thought about it and forgot it, don't move for the time being. It's not for other reasons, but if according to Shanmir's words, Qin Mubai feels that these four paintings are enough for the construction of his own museum, and there is even a surplus.

As for the back, there is still a long time before the museum is built, and there are other sources of money in this time, so there is no need to worry, if not, the auction can also be done at that time.

Qin Mubai's decision, Shanmir naturally had no opinion, and after reaching a verbal agreement with Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai went to Professor Hu.

After saying what Shan Mire meant, Professor Hu immediately said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Qin, this, you decide for yourself, in fact, these paintings, we definitely want to fly birds or dream fields, but the money we give may not be too much, and we don't know how much valuation to give you." ”

"Professor Hu, if you are willing, or if your superiors are fine, you go to the auction, and we will trade according to 80% of the actual auction value. Qin Mubai thought about it and directly gave a plan.

Twenty percent off, this is already very ruthless, you must know that this 20% may be tens of millions of dollars. However, the Palace Museum is willing to pay for this, which can already be regarded as helping Qin Mubai from the side, so it is also appropriate to give people some discounts.

However, Hu Xingwen still had some criticism, mainly because he did not dare to agree, because when he went to the auction house, anything could happen! If someone accidentally got his head caught in the door when he went out that morning, it was especially possible to have tens of millions of dollars in money.

"75% is the maximum price I can give, you can apply for it. Qin Mubai gave another 5%.

"Okay, I'll apply with the above, and if I can, this will be done. Professor Hu Xingwen knows that this is already the limit, 25%, a quarter, who is so generous.

But in fact, Qin Mubai is not at a loss, because once an agreement is reached, the transaction price of another painting after the auction of the Palace Museum will reach a terrifying value.

As for the reason, Dr. Gachet and Sunflowers aside, they are traditional Van Gogh paintings, which are not in this category, mainly talking about the fields of dreams and flying birds, and the things shown in these two paintings are so amazing! This means that Van Gogh walked out of his depressed life at the last moment of his life and has a new hope, and this new hope may be the key evidence to break Van Gogh's suicide theory!

After all, a person with a life full of hope will not commit suicide!

And there are only four paintings of this style at present! Two Qin Mubai paintings will not be sold! People have already said that they will open a museum, which means that these two paintings can almost never be sold, and the other one was bought by the Palace Museum, do you think the Palace Museum may sell it again? It is also impossible!

As a result, there is only one painting left in this new style of Van Gogh, and it is really difficult to say how much the price of this one will soar in the end.

So, it's a win-win, and if it weren't for that reason, it's normal for the painting's actual auction price to be as low as $20 million or $30 million.

Hu Xingwen's request was very fast, Qin Mubai didn't know what he was thinking, anyway, Hu Xingwen told Qin Mubai that day that the agreement could be reached, but an agreement had to be signed, and the Palace Museum decided to want the field in his dreams.
