Chapter 1074 $30 million for one painting, $300 million for two paintings(1/2)
Lu Man and Cheng Xin looked at each other with shock. How could this be possible? But when they think of Huang Shengde, Wu Dehua, Chu Feng, Xu Guofeng and others, it seems that it is not impossible.
"Prepare the shooting."
"Do your reception first."
"Don't worry, boss, I'll go check it later."
Huo Chengxin said. "It is sure to ensure that everything is foolproof."
"This is the best, I have to prepare it here too."
Medicinal wine and medicine packs are all right, but the recipe has not been studied yet, and there is another one that Li Dong does not know much about the physical condition of several academicians. "When I come here tomorrow, it is best to give the academicians the pulse."
"It's a pity that I just went to school a little bit."
It would be great if the farm could have a Xinglin master here. Unfortunately, not everyone can invite such a national treasure. Li Dong can only wait for a few academicians to come over and see his health. The report said outside the report
"Boss Li, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing is wrong."
After dinner, Li Dong washed up and looked for Wu Dehua. "Uncle Wu, a friend will come tomorrow. Do you have time to meet me?"
"Friends, are you in the collection circle?"
"I'm an appraiser, come here to identify those two paintings."
After this statement, Wu Yue also turned his attention to Li Dong.
“It’s domestic or foreign.”
“Foreign.”
"People from the Picasso family?"
“This is not very clear.”
Li Dong was not clear about the appraisal process of Picasso's paintings. He just checked it and found that the most authoritative appraisal institution for Picasso's works was actually Picasso's children. Of course, some auctions also had to be identified, and most of them had to find Picasso's children at that time.
"John Crower, I wonder if you have heard of Uncle Wu?"
"It's this person, it's indeed the authority in this regard."
Wu Dehua was quite surprised that Li Dong was able to contact the most authoritative appraisal masters in addition to the Picasso family so quickly.
"Tomorrow, I'll go see John." Wu Dehua has met this person several times, but he is not very familiar with him, but he is not unfamiliar with him.
Seeing that Wu Dehua knew this person, Chu Ling said correctly. This person has a certain authority, so that's fine. "Uncle Wu, there's something I'll tell you."
After simply following Wu Dehua and Wu Yue said it again, the two of them looked surprised.
"How is this possible for the same painting?" Wu Yue felt incredible. This was Picasso, a world-famous painter, how could he draw two same paintings?
If these two paintings were not true and false, or all of them were false, there was almost no other possibility. I have never heard of Picasso painting two identical paintings.
"I'm quite surprised, too."
Li Dong can say that this guy is two spaces, and it is normal for him to be the same. He can only say that he is too unlucky. By chance, you should know that many paintings are collected by collectors and cannot be seen easily.
The probability of encountering this same painting is even comparable to winning the prize. Li Dong didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, but he encountered it so by chance. The advantage was that John rushed over immediately because of the same painting, because he was not good at the same time, even if these two paintings were real, they would not cause any small trouble.
Fortunately, it was not in China. Li Dong thought about it and sold it. Anyway, the paintings of foreigners were taken care of.
"Let's take a look first."
Even Wu Dehua is not very optimistic. The two paintings are too problematic.
Back at the farm, Li Dong glanced at the paintings placed in the safe and went back to rest. The next morning, Li Dong received a call from Director Xing, who had to wait for the afternoon to come here. "I'm so sorry."
There is no way, but the provincial leaders can keep people. These academicians are all national treasures. If you pass by Nanjing, the leaders here will not express it. How is it possible? "Director Xing, it's okay, call me before you set off."
"I can't come here in the afternoon."
"Let's arrange it first."
Li Dong said to Cheng Xin, don’t worry about lunch, now it’s time to prepare for the appraisal master John.
"Senior sister, have you arrived in Nanjing?"
This was too fast. I really didn't expect that the appraiser was still impatient. Come on, prepare lunch first, what are the British people eating? Steak, Li Dong muttered. "I ordered a batch of steak myself, but unfortunately it hasn't arrived yet."
This batch of steaks is a top-notch product, a bunch of hundreds of dollars. Li Dong plans to try it, and bring some people back to the film company in 1980 and shout more. Not only steaks, but also lobster, caviar and other ingredients.
One is that Li Dong also wants to try this. When he goes back to learn Western food for Jingyi, his parents and others try it. After all, it is still good to change the taste occasionally.
"Forget it, get some special dishes."
Vegetable salad, healthy dishes, and beef stewed with tomatoes, and then a few side dishes. Li Dong immediately finalized the menu and handed it to Master Guo. "Build the soup with beef bones and add less chili."
This is the first time a farm has been entertaining foreigners. After all, in a small city, I can’t meet a foreigner for a year or two.
"Boss, don't worry, no matter what Chinese people are, I guarantee that I will have a bulging stomach when I come."
"Ha ha."
At half past ten, the car got off the highway. I really don’t know when this person got up.
"Senior sister, thank you for your hard work."
“Thank you hard work is not worthy of.”
It was not Chu Ling who drove, but hired two drivers, and they gave a lot of money. When Li Dong heard this, he turned out to be like this. "The Monkey is doing well."
"Where is the monkey man?"
"Driving with me."
"I'll introduce you to John."
"Hello, I'm Li Dong."
Li Dong used Chinese at the beginning, but when he saw that he couldn't understand, he changed his English. "Li, it's great to see you."
This old man in his fifties was quite anxious and he spoke to see the painting as soon as he met.
"no problem."
As soon as the monkey car arrived, the group immediately set off and arrived at Hanzhuang in less than twenty minutes. It was only around eleven o'clock. "Why do you want to have a meal first?"
"No, Li, you can read the painting first."
Well, Li Dong nodded, Wu Dehua and Wu Yue also came over, John and Wu Dehua greeted him, and everyone came to the VIP room. "Wait a minute."
I came to the storage room, opened the safe, took out two Picasso's paintings, and came out.
John stared at Li Dong holding two paintings in his hand. Li Dong smiled and put the painting on the table. "Please." John quickly entered the appraisal process without delay at all.
“It’s incredible.”
"incredible."
After a while, John looked and looked, and finally muttered in disbelief. "John, these two paintings?"
"Picasso's work, Ally, can't believe it, it's true."
John was excited, excited, and unbelievable. Picasso actually showed two paintings with almost no difference. "But this painting?" Chu Ling didn't expect that John had discussed with her before coming, and the possibility of two paintings appearing was almost zero.
But now listening to John's meaning, Li Dong's two paintings are real. Chu Ling can't be shocked. Not only Chu Ling, Wu Yue, and even Wu Dehua were a little surprised.
“Is there no difference at all?”
Li Dong was curious. It is likely that some events in the two parallel spaces are the same, but it is impossible that they are completely consistent.
"There are some of the colors used here, and there are a little differences in the depth of the colors."
"The color of this painting is newer. Perhaps it is the work that has been completed more than ten years or decades after the previous work. It is just too exquisite and exactly the same. This is a surprise to the world." John was so excited.
I wish I could bring this painting back to England immediately. Yes, John wanted this painting, but he wanted it to die.
"Lee, I want to get it, it's really perfect."
John's directness made Li Dong not know what to say for a moment.
“This painting is not cheap.”
"Yes, I bought his brother for 30 million dollars."
John said. "I'm also willing to buy it for thirty million dollars."
Chu Ling was not surprised at all. Wu Dehua and Wu Yue also felt nothing. Picasso should have been worth so high, but only the monkey looked shocked. "I'll go, 30 million US dollars, isn't that nearly 200 million?"
Two small targets, awesome, the monkey exclaimed. "Dongzi, you are going to get rich."
"Thirty million dollars?"
Li Dong smiled and put away the painting, making a joke. "John, maybe you can take this painting away." Speaking, Li Dong pointed to another painting, and thirty million dollars was about its price.
Just kidding, Li Dong looked at John, and a hint of anxiety flashed across John's face. This little old man is really bold. Thirty million US dollars is the price of a painting. This may be the only two identical authentic works of Picasso.
Chu Ling reacted at this time, Wu Dehua and Wu Yue looked at each other, and they understood.
"No, no, Lee, I want it."
"Can."
