Chapter 291 Crazy Oil Painting
Li Mo almost forgot about the large-scale jadeite trade fair in Nanguang. Fortunately, the trade fair hadn't started yet.
"I'll check the schedule. If there's nothing special, I should attend."
"That's good. I managed to raise 100 million by selling everything, and I'm just waiting to follow you south. Haha, but when I think of the Li family's fate, my heart is as sweet as drinking honey."
"How is he doing now?"
"What Mr. Li means is that the mud cannot support the wall and cannot be used. That boy has been deprived of all inheritance rights in the family. This is officially marginalizing him. Brother, I also heard a rumor that that guy's net worth is far away
It’s richer than we thought. Last time we lost a billion dollars, we just broke one of his arms. I didn’t expect that kid to hide it quite well.”
"It's just hearsay, don't take it seriously. Okay, I have something else to do."
"Then hang up. Goodbye."
Li Mo hung up the phone and thought back to the gossip Niu Sanpang heard. There is no smoke without fire. It seems that Li Jiayu is really hiding it. Even the Li family may not know it. As for making a lot of money in foreign stock markets, then
It's okay to lie to a novice.
After pondering for a moment, Li Mo dialed Chen Feng's phone number and quickly answered: "Senior sister, how much liquidity is left in the company's account?"
"About 290 million."
"Okay, at the end of the month, you prepare 250 million yuan for me. Then you find someone to spread the news, saying that I used the antiques in my hands as collateral and borrowed 1 billion yuan from the bank to prepare to go to Nanguang to attend the event.
Large jade rough stone trade fair.”
"Junior brother, isn't it a bit risky?" Chen Feng was a little hesitant. After all, it was not 25 million, but 250 million. A few years ago, Niu Sanpang lost more than 200 million because of gambling on stones. It feels terrible to think about it.
horrible.
"You don't trust me when I do something. If I'm not completely sure, I'm too lazy to go to such a far place and mess around. Wouldn't it be better to lie down in bed and sleep?"
After hearing what he said, Chen Feng rubbed his temples. He was so concerned that he was confused. Ever since he met him, his junior brother has never made any wrong judgments.
Maybe you go south with 250 million in capital, and when you come back it may be 500 million.
"Okay, the funds in the company account can be used at any time."
Li Mo threw his phone to the other end of the sofa, lay down and exhaled comfortably.
The next day, when Li Mo drove to Guyunxuan Museum, Chen Xiaojun and others were already waiting there. Professor Qu, his wife and Qu Yang happened to get out of another business car, and he hurriedly greeted them.
"Professor Qu, good morning Professor Zhao."
"We both can't wait to see what kind of art you brought back from Europe."
"please."
The scale of Gu Yunxuan's underground treasure house is certainly not comparable to that of the Kyoto Museum, but it also cost a lot of money during the renovation.
I heard Chen Xiaojun say that at that time, two walls were first poured with reinforced concrete, and a ten-centimetre-thick steel plate was used to fill the interlayer between the walls. On the ground, a layer of reinforced concrete was poured first, and then a layer of steel plate was laid.
Layers of reinforced concrete. In short, this defensive measure is already stronger than a bank vault.
Various detection devices are installed inside. As long as the front door is opened, the devices inside will be silent. Once the door is opened through informal means, the alarm device inside will be activated immediately.
Entering the treasure house, the lights turned on, and what everyone saw before their eyes were various packaged porcelain, oil paintings, sculptures, etc.
"Professor Qu, Professor Zhao, let me first take out an oil painting for you two to appreciate."
Chen Xiaojun had already prepared the tools, carefully removed a wooden frame, and took out an oil painting from inside.
This oil painting is about 120 cm long and 90 cm high. What is shown on the canvas is a beautiful and charming natural scenery. In the middle of the painting, there is a cedar tree. The branches of the cedar tree are straight and straight, but the top of the tree is slightly It grows obliquely to the left, causing the entire picture to be divided into two halves. It looks like it is swaying in the wind, with a bit of agility.
Valley coax
In the distance of the green grassland, there is an arch bridge, sloping slightly downward from left to right. In order to balance the picture, the artist painted a group of fir trees on the right, with straight and solemn lines.
The lower part of the painting is a hilly area, mostly using light gray and peach; different shades of green are used to depict pine trees; orange and gray are used on the roof, and the small pond is a sky blue.
On the plain, the painter uses patches of different shades of green and orange to show houses, vegetable fields and harvested wheat fields.
The upper part of the painting, the crown part of the fir tree, is a majestic mountain peak.
The left side of the mountain is light red and looks bare, while the right side is a very cold blue, which should be a dense forest. Above is a warm blue sky with some light white clouds floating.
Looking at this painting, I have a feeling in my mind that these scenery do exist under the bright sunshine, with a kind of beauty in order. The outline of this painting looks relatively broken and loose, and the colors float on the objects. Maintain its own characteristics independent of the object.
To be honest, when Li Mo first saw this painting, his whole mind seemed to be immersed in it, and then he confirmed that this painting was a palace-level work of art through the perspective of different eyes.
It's just that he doesn't know which master's work it is.
"Why can't I understand what the painting is?" Chen Xiaojun deliberately looked closer and said, "It's like paste and I can't see anything."
Li Mo stepped on his feet and said, "Stand back and take a look from afar."
Chen Xiaojun took seven or eight steps back as he was told, then his eyes showed surprise, and he opened his mouth slightly and said: "There are mountains, clouds, trees, bridges and water, and it seems that there is also a countryside."
He scratched his head. He had to keep a distance to understand this oil painting. It was really not as good as Chinese ink painting.
From the moment this painting appeared in front of everyone, Professor Qu and Professor Zhao were obsessed with it. They seemed unable to break free. The expressions on their faces became more and more shocked, and even their breathing became heavier.
"Old Zhao, do you understand?"
"I understand a little bit, but I haven't found any evidence yet. If it is really that person's masterpiece, the signature should be hidden in the picture."
"Yes, this picture, this color, and this concept are very similar to that master's work."
Except for the two of them, everyone present was confused and didn't know what they were muttering.
"Here, I found it. Oh my God, it's really his work. It's incredible. Old Zhao, please double check. Is this his signature? It's hidden among the straws left in the wheat field. It can't be used. The color changes confuse our eyes."
"Yes, it's his work. This...this...is unbelievable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that his masterpiece would be acquired by Li Mo."
Professor Qu and Professor Zhao were already incoherent. Although they found the master's signature, they now dare not easily conclude whether this oil painting is authentic or fake.
"Professor Qu, does this oil painting really have any origin?"
Li Mo couldn't help but ask, this painting is almost more than a hundred years old. In China, it should be the period from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
Professor Qu's throat moved, his voice was out of shape, and he said with great emotion: "Li Mo, this is probably a masterpiece of Post-Impressionism, a work by Paul Cézanne. From his hidden signature, from the texture of the canvas,
Judging from the style of the painting and the richly varied colors, this is my initial judgment."
"Li Mo, I feel that the artistry of this painting should be the pinnacle work of Paul Cezanne, and its value will never be low. I remember that the highest auction price for his works of the same period has exceeded 250 million."
When Li Mo heard the price, he thought it was pretty good. He made a huge profit. He only spent tens of thousands of euros at that time.
"The unit is a dollar."
Professor Zhao added something.
