"oh¡¡"
Under Mr. Cai¡¯s scolding, Cai Peng shrank his head, quickly sat next to him, drank tea and went to review.
"My nephew."
At the same time, Mr. Cai suddenly said: "I want something. I wonder if my nephew can part with it?"
The thing naturally refers to the golden ship. Although I don¡¯t know how Mr. Cai had such an idea, for Wang Guan, this is simply a good opportunity to get out of trouble. How could he not agree?
Of course, Wang Guan did not act alone, but looked at Gao Zhuang and Tao Li: "What do you think?"
How else to look at it, Gao Zhuang and Tao Li are not stupid, so they naturally nodded in agreement. After all, as I said before, it is difficult to export things out of the country, so you can only do it locally. Now that Mr. Cai is willing to buy it, he can save a lot of time.
"Mr. Cai, I'm not afraid of your jokes."
Wang Guan knew what he was thinking, and immediately said frankly: "We wanted to sell the things when we came here, but it was difficult to find a buyer. We were just discussing whether to cut them up and sell them separately. Mr. Cai wanted to do it, which is a great help to us."
"Haha, in this case"
At the right time, Mr. Cai smiled and said: "Put the things here for now. Later I will ask someone to come over to estimate the value, and then calculate the money according to the international gold price. Do you have any objections?"
"Okay." Wang Guan nodded directly and agreed, not wanting to worry too much. Because he came here wanting to sell things as gold, not as gold products.
Speaking of which, gold and gold products are two different concepts. Needless to say, gold is a precious metal, a natural currency, and its price is relatively balanced. As for gold products, such as gold rings. Gold necklaces, gold and silver utensils, etc. can be called works of art.
Things like these, while calculating the value of gold, also have certain added value. Strictly speaking, the golden ship can be regarded as a work of art made of gold, and it is normal for the price to increase by 10% or 20%.
However, Wang Guan did not intend to take advantage of this. Not only because of Cai Peng, but also because of conditions. Something like a golden ship. Not many people can afford it, and even fewer want to buy it. It's rare to meet a buyer, so naturally you have to sell it quickly to avoid losing your hands.
Combining various reasons, this transaction was naturally very smooth. There are no twists and turns. Just as Mr. Cai and Wang Guan completed the verbal agreement, a servant came in and reported: "Mr. Cai, Mr. Lu is here."
"Please quickly!"
In an instant, Mr. Cai stood up immediately, motioned to several bodyguards to carry the gold boat to the side and put it away, and then asked someone to serve some refreshments. Just after they were sorted out, someone walked out of the hall. That was a middle-aged man. The body is a bit thin and gives people a dry feeling, but the eyes are very smart and shrewd.
no doubt. This person should be the Mr. Lu mentioned by Mr. Cai.
"Mr. Lu, welcome, welcome."
When guests come, Mr. Cai naturally greets them warmly. A bright smile.
Unlike Wang Guan and others, Mr. Lu understands Mr. Tsai¡¯s energy in Taiwan better. Seeing his enthusiasm, I was naturally quite flattered, and quickly greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Cai, you're welcome"
"Who is this Mr. Lu?"
At the same time, Wang Guan quietly pulled Cai Peng off and asked him about it.
"have no idea."
However, Wang Guan asked the wrong person. After seeing Cai Peng's confused face, he shook his head and said, "I have never seen him before. Maybe he is a friend of my father's business."
"Friends in the shopping mall?" Wang Guan looked at him for a moment, but didn't quite agree: "I don't see it."
¡°When doing business, unless there is a vassal relationship between superiors and subordinates, Mr. Lu cannot be so respectful. But then again, if it is a vassal relationship, then it cannot be called friends.
While Wang Guan was speculating, Mr. Cai was very good at conducting himself and took advantage of the situation to introduce him to everyone.
"Huh."
After seeing Wang Guan, Mr. Lu¡¯s reaction was similar to Mr. Cai¡¯s before. His first reaction was that he looked very familiar, and he wondered if this person was a celebrity or something
"This is Mr. Wang from mainland China."
However, after Mr. Cai¡¯s introduction, Mr. Lu suddenly understood and a surprise appeared on his face. He quickly took Wang Guan¡¯s hand and shook it vigorously: ¡°Long time, long time!¡±
"Easy to say, easy to say" To be honest, Wang Guan couldn't figure out why Mr. Lu was so enthusiastic all of a sudden, but after a while, he understood the reason.
"Speaking of which, you two can be considered colleagues."
At the right time, Mr. Cai smiled and said: "Mr. Lu is the leading calligraphy and painting appraiser in the world, with extraordinary abilities"
In an instant, Wang Guan understood. Mr. Lu¡¯s enthusiasm is not for himself, but for the rare treasures represented behind him. To be precise, it was to give face to Zhong Kui's ghost-catching pictures and Confucius's sacred relics pictures.
In fact, this is also the case. After the introduction, Mr. Lu immediately asked: "When will the treasure exhibition be held? Everyone is already eager to see it."
"This matter is being discussed, still being discussed." Wang Guan smiled vaguely: "It should be very soon, very soon."
"Are the bureaucrats at the National Museum making things difficult for you?" Mr. Lu said very loyally: "If you have anything to say, just say it, people in our industry will definitely stand up to support"
"No, that's not the case."
Wang Guan was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on. Then he smiled and said, "The gossip in the gossip newspapers is not trustworthy. We have been very happy to cooperate and have finalized the specific details. However, due to the confidentiality principle, it is difficult to announce it to the outside world. "
While speaking, Wang Guan also realized that something was taking over the subject, and immediately brought the topic back: "Otherwise, I would not be so relaxed and be a guest at Mr. Cai's house."
"Right¡¡"
Mr. Lu was also very smart and immediately realized that the purpose of his invitation was not to chat with Wang Guan about gossip, but for business. He quickly looked at Mr. Cai and said with an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Cai, you You came to me for some reason?"
I heard that Mr. Cai was quite forthright and didn¡¯t like beating around the bush, so Mr. Lu simply started to inquire directly. This is also true. Not only did Mr. Cai not feel disgusted, he even said bluntly: "Of course I am borrowing Mr. Lu's appreciation ability to help me check."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he was immediately interested. You must know that he had already made such a guess before he was invited. Now that he heard Mr. Cai's affirmative answer, he naturally felt happy. After all, with Mr. Cai's net worth, the things on hand are definitely not ordinary objects, and they are enough for him to feast his eyes on.
Thinking of this, Mr. Lu would definitely not be able to refuse. On the contrary, he looked expectant. Mr. Cai naturally noticed it and immediately waved his hand: "Apeng, go and take out the things."
"oh."
Cai Peng nodded, then stood up. Suddenly he stopped and turned around, confused: "What are you taking? Where do you put the things?"
"The safe in your room." Mr. Cai reminded: "There are several oil paintings in it, take them all out."
"good¡¡"
Cai Peng responded quickly and said in surprise: "No, there is a painting in the safe, why didn't I know that?"
"I put that in a few days ago." Mr. Cai suddenly said angrily: "Tell me, it's been a few days since I went home to spend the night? In other words, I put some things here, and I need to ask you. Report for approval?¡±
Hearing this, Cai Peng didn't dare to say anything anymore, and immediately ran away with his head in his arms. Not long after, Cai Peng came back with several paintings. Mr. Lu was not polite and rushed over to help, placing the paintings one by one on the table next to him.
At this time, Wang Guan took advantage of the situation and looked around, and saw only five pictures, all of which were oil paintings with rich colors and bright pigments. However, unexpectedly, these five paintings are exactly the same. Seeing this situation, not only Wang Guan was startled, but Mr. Lu was also a little surprised.
The five pictures depict a girl with silky hair, fair skin, and bright eyes. Together with the tulips next to them, the girl's youthful vitality is reflected everywhere.
Even if Wang Guan doesn¡¯t understand oil painting, he can still tell that this painting is very good. The problem is that the five paintings are exactly the same, so it is worth pondering. When such a situation occurs, there are undoubtedly two possibilities. Either one is true and four are false, or they are all fakes.
¡°Obviously, Mr. Cai came to Mr. Lu to identify the authenticity of these paintings.
"Don't travel."
At this time, Mr. Lu noticed the signature on the oil painting and was immediately surprised: "This is one of the new generation painters. He studied under a famous family and once received guidance from the great painter Mr. Zao Wou-Ki. He is hailed as the most likely successor to Zao Wou-Ki." After that, he will become the most influential Chinese painter in the world, with a bright future"
"Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that Mo You is very young and his works are of great investment value."
While speaking, Mr. Lu frowned and said: "I remember this painting of Tulip Girl, which seemed to have won an award in a joint exhibition of internationally renowned artist galleries, and it can be regarded as one of his masterpieces. I didn't expect that this work would be noticed so quickly. Got it, made so many copies?Come out. "
"That's why I want to ask Mr. Lu to help distinguish authenticity." Mr. Cai said with a smile: "Although I don't care about the money to buy paintings, I can't be regarded as a fool who can be easily deceived."
"Dad, who dares to lie to you? See if I don't" Cai Peng shouted, but under Mr. Cai's stern eyes, he had to shut up and look at Mr. Lu instead, hoping that he could tell him the answer.
In this regard, Mr. Lu sighed secretly, hoping that those who make counterfeiting would be lucky. It's not good to deceive anyone, but to deceive a rich man with powerful eyes is simply asking for trouble.
Of course, for Mr. Lu, those who forge are public enemies of the industry. He will definitely not sympathize with them. On the contrary, he must carefully identify them in order to eliminate the fake and preserve the real. This is not only his professional ethics, but also the meaning of the appraiser¡¯s existence.
Thinking of this, Mr. Lu did not hesitate and quickly focused on observing the five oil paintings. But after looking at it for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, becoming very strange and a bit hesitant
