Chapter 60: Oil Painting Untitled
"Sir, you still need to make preparations to go to the charity gala. Dawson held back his speechlessness and said.
"What else do you need to prepare?gift?" Lin Yi was a little curious.
"No, you also need a dress. Generally, you need to wear a formal dress to a charity dinner, but you are missing a formal attire, sir. Dawson said. This sentence is not bad at all Lin Yi really doesn't have any formal clothes, well, there is one, but it is not appropriate to wear it to the charity gala, the reason, my copycat products of the Great Celestial Empire, the rest are just some ordinary clothes, and I didn't have much money before, just clothes or something, anyway, he doesn't have a girlfriend, so he doesn't need any image.
"Then where are we going to buy it?" Lin Yi asked.
"You should make a few pieces, sir. ”
"Made-to-order?"
"Yes, usually rich people like you will make it to order, and the clothes that come out of this way will fit your body type perfectly. ”
"That's right. Lin Yi suddenly realized.
Lin Yi followed Dawson to a store, there were some clothes hanging in the store, all of them were formal suits, there were not many places here, there were only a few dozen clothes in the huge storefront, and there was an old man and a few waiters in the store.
The old man carefully measured the data of his body for Lin Yi, and this level of detail made Lin Yi sigh that it was tailor-made.
This set of clothes costs 50,000 US dollars, and the moment he heard this price, Lin Yi seemed to turn around and leave.
"Old man, I need this dress tomorrow night, can I really make it in such a short time?" Lin Yi said in a strange tone, with an inexplicable expectation in his words.
"It's okay, I'll work a little extra tonight, you come over tomorrow morning to get it, and then see if there is anything inappropriate, just tomorrow it can be changed." The old man waved his hand, indicating that this is not a problem at all, and he can help you get this done by working overtime.
Looking at the other party's smiling look, Lin Yi sighed in disappointment, did this thing not hear my expectations or deliberately.
Damn, a set of 50,000 yuan, when did the clothes become so expensive.
"Then bring me two sets. Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, come and get it tomorrow morning. ”
......
New York's SOHO district, which is not only a rich area, but also an area where many antique shops are located, and it is also the relationship between the rich area, the security conditions here are very good, after all, part of the tax paid is for these police stations, so no matter what, the police here will definitely make the security here better than other places.
Every morning, you can see a lot of people exercising in the morning, and maybe some of the rich people here will buy an antique like a grocery store after a run.
Dawson followed Lin Yi and turned several stores, but Lin Yi didn't buy any antiques, because he didn't see what he could pick up, and he didn't see what he liked.
Wende antique store, Lin Yi saw a bronze tripod inside, this bronze tripod is not big, about 40 cm high, it is a square tripod, and there is no inscription left on the tripod. According to the aperture, this thing should be from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it should only be used for cooking and eating in the homes of the rich.
Xiaoding's price was $150,000, and Lin Yi bought it directly.
Lin Yi walked around this store, many things are foreign rather than Chinese, he is still reading Chinese antique books, and he really has no research on these foreign ones, so he doesn't have any special feelings, but an oil painting on the wall next to him makes him want to complain fiercely.
"Is this an abstract or an impressionist? Get a rough brush and draw a few random strokes there, and that's what you can call painting?"
He complained while appraising it, the aperture flashed, and the factory time was less than 100 years, and the identification was completed.
However, oil painting is really a matter of fame, and it has little to do with time, so Lin Yi does not comment on this.
Well?
In Lin Yi's eyes, two apertures appeared in the lower right corner, and the difference between the two was twenty years, which aroused Lin Yi's curiosity.
Sure enough, there is a sticker in the lower right corner that is pasted on the painting, no, it should be said that someone is covering up the things underneath, but this person's craftsmanship is also very powerful, and there is no trace of pasting, but under Lin Yi's ability, the traces are obediently revealed.
Franz Klein, 1944. ”
I haven't heard of it, but it's probably the artist's signature, and it should be extraordinary to see how well this thing is covered.
Since it has a name and a surname, maybe there is really some origin of this painting, Lin Yi decided to check it out.
After opening the mobile phone webpage and fiddling for a long time, he finally found Franz Klein's information, and what surprised him was that this guy not only had a name and a surname, but also a very famous abstract painter in the United States in the last century!
Well, the time is right, the name is right, and the painting style is right, it seems that this is the real work of this guy. But this guy really doesn't like to keep his painting name, doesn't he know what he paints?
However, the more surprising information was yet to come. As the page scrolled down, a message appeared in Lin Yi's eyes, in 2012, Franz Klein's painting "Untitled", which was also painted with a brush pattern, was auctioned in New York for a sky-high price of 36 million US dollars!
36 million! Lin Yi's hand trembled, and the phone almost fell off.
"Calm, you must be calm, what is the price of this thing, $10,000, is this a free gift? Or is God not used to seeing me so poor lately?"
Lin Yi took a deep breath there and calmed down.
Today, I bought two suits, which cost $100,000, a bronze tripod for $150,000, and this painting for $10,000, for a total of $260,000.
And such a painting is at least 30 million, so that today not only can you earn money back, but you can also make no money, well, you can earn 115 times.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, but this action was a bit big, so this smile became a little exaggerated, Dawson picked the corner of his eye after seeing it, what happened to this product?
Stretched out his hand to take the painting at the counter and took Dawson back after paying the bill, along the way like a weasel who stole a chicken, Dawson knew that Lin Yi either touched something he liked or picked it up.
But Dawson didn't ask, and the secretary should have shut up when it was time to shut up.
Seeing that Dawson didn't ask, Lin Yi couldn't help but nod secretly, after all, no one wanted his secretary to talk too much.
However, this thing was bought in front of Dawson, which was not good to receive directly from the Five Elements Bead, so I could only wait until I went to the manor to make plans.
