This is the end of the love story of this singing and weeping painter and maid, Yang Nianzhong found this red oak dresser in the flea market, and heard the stall owner say that it was an item left by his grandmother, and concluded from this association.

Coco Schneider, the German maid who had an emotional entanglement with Monet, was kicked out of the house by Monet's family and was heartbroken and did not return to Germany. Instead, he took this red oak dresser and crossed the ocean to live in the United States, after all, at that time, the First World War was over, the whole of Germany was in ruins, and life was very difficult with so many foreign debts.

After coming to the United States, the woman may have found another husband and settled in the United States, and years later the dresser passed into the hands of his grandson. And his grandson is the stall owner who sold the dresser in the middle of the Year of the Goat, and a variety of coincidences all come together to form a complete clue.

What a coincidence that this dresser was bought back by Yang Nianzhong, and 14 oil paintings of Monet were found inside, although they were small, but these oil paintings were a group and formed a series.

This is rare in Monet's later years when he painted water lilies, and each one of them is a masterpiece, and has reached the pinnacle of perfection, Griffin gave an answer, no matter which of these paintings appears at any auction, the price is more than 500 dollars.

As time goes by, the price of these oil paintings will slowly rise, not to mention 14 water lily oil paintings, even 140 of them will still be sold, but now the problem comes. How does Yang Nianzhong solve the problems of these oil paintings in the past and present? After learning what happened, Yang Nianzhong said hello to everyone, and then ran to the study, John called, and the two sides agreed on a video conference.

After the video was connected, Yang Nianzhong looked at the other side of the computer, refreshed and smiling, and John said with a frown. "It seems that you kid has won a lot."

Unexpectedly, John grinned and said with a dark face. "That's just playing Texas Hold'em, and I won $100,000, boss, why are you idle and video with me? Isn't there something wrong? ”

Yang Nianzhong sighed, and told John how he had picked the old dresser made of red oak and how he had found Monet's oil painting of water lilies in the dresser.

After telling the whole process again, there was nothing to hide, Yang Nianzhong looked at his brother with a frown and said. "So John's problem now, what about the 14 oil paintings, although the area is not large, but all of them are works of Monet's peak can be called classics, how can we divide the two."

John nodded as he listened, and when he saw Yang Nianzhong's frowning appearance, he burst out laughing and said generously. "I said that you are a careful person, and what you find is left in your house, isn't it over? You've already said that these 14 paintings are a series, and if they are a group, they will become tasteless, and their price will plummet. ”

"You didn't hide it from me, this is where I am most happy, all these oil paintings are yours, hang them in Aunt Yang's room, let Aunt Yang look at these 14 oil paintings every day and enjoy them slowly, I don't want it."

The more generous John was, the more Yang Nianzhong felt sorry for his brother, and shook his head resolutely and said. "John's question is not considered like this, the brothers still have to settle the account, the two of us brothers are a whole, no matter who finds something alone, it is the common harvest of the two of us, how can I swallow it alone?"

John was very moved, being able to recognize Yang Nianzhong's brother was the wisest decision in his life, and the relationship between the two brothers could be said to be unbreakable, and it was impossible to change it because of a few oil paintings.

So the two sides began to pass the buck to each other in the computer, one insisted on giving, the other just didn't, and finally there was no way to stalemate, and John posted another solution.

"That set of oil paintings is inconvenient to disassemble, plus you found it, then put it in your hand, if you really don't want to go, you can give me money, you can also give me other things, or you can give me two more gold coins."

As soon as Yang Nianzhong heard the solution proposed by John, he frowned and said. "Are you really stupid or fake? Monet's oil paintings or Brascher's gold coins have a lot of room for appreciation. ”

John smiled and looked at Yang Nianzhong and said slyly. "I'm not stupid, of course I know? In that case, then you can give me two more and give me four, and the final result will be that I have six gold coins, and you have four gold coins. ”

At this stage, the market price of the two items should be about the same, but Monet's oil paintings have much more room for appreciation than the gold coins that don't. Although John asked for six Brasher gold coins, he only had four left, and it seemed that he had suffered a loss, but in fact, Yang Nianzhong took advantage.

Yang Nian knew about this, said nothing, and finally gave an extra bottle of Tsar Champagne as compensation for the difference, and this time John could be regarded as earning and getting a bottle of Tsar Champagne. I was even happier than eating bee poop to get another six Brasher gold coins, and began to talk endlessly, telling Yang Nianzhong how fun and prosperous Las Vegas was, anyway, it was to show off.

This kid knows that Yang Nianzhong has been bored at home recently, accompanying his big-bellied wife and his mother, how can he be so happy as an otaku every day. Take your girlfriend to play in the casino, what to eat, what to play, how happy. So showing off to Yang Nianzhong, Yang Nianzhong's eyes were red.

After scolding a few words, he hung up the video connection, and after hanging up the video, Yang Nianzhong was still angry, at this time, the phone he put on his desk rang, and when he picked it up, it turned out that his mother told him to go down to eat.

At the dinner table, Yang Nianzhong asked Griffin to take these 14 oil paintings away, let Griffin, an expert, issue an appraisal certificate, and then dispose of these oil paintings well, and then carve them into frames with the best wood.

And to gilt the oil painting inlaid in it, this thing is simply handy for Griffin, he is doing this line, after the oil painting is done, take it back to Swan Castle and put it on the wall of Yang Nianzhong's study, just 14 oil paintings form a series of how good-looking.

After chatting about this matter, my mother asked Yang Nianzhong and John how they were talking. Yang Nianzhong didn't hide anything, and told his family about the final solution discussed by the two brothers.

Everyone didn't expect John to be so generous, and gave these oil paintings to Yang Nianzhong, although he had to take away a few gold coins and a bottle of Tsar Champagne, but in terms of overall value, the oil paintings were still more valuable, and the appreciation space was also the largest.

But that's how brothers get along with each other, this time you lose, next time you take advantage, and over time, isn't it over that the two sides keep a balance? Don't worry about this little thing.

John is not that kind of person, Yang Nianzhong is not the person with a small belly, otherwise it would be impossible to find the oil painting by himself, and he took the initiative to call John to inform him how many treasures he found.
