    Chapter 702 Purchasing for 80 Million US Dollars (Part 1)

    "He said it was an authentic work by Van Gogh?" He Qing asked.  ¡Ó

    Wu Qiang nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, he said it is very likely to be authentic, so it should be fine!"

    "That's good." He Qing said with a slight smile, seeming to be relieved and feeling very pleased.

    In fact, he had long been sure that the oil painting "Chestnut Grove" in front of him was painted by the famous Van Gogh and was an authentic work by the master. At this moment, he came here specially to ask experts in the painting industry to identify it. He just wanted to rectify his name and gain recognition from others.  It's just a formality. To put it bluntly, it's just a formality. The most you can ask for is a price estimate to see how valuable Van Gogh's work is in the market.

    If that person doesn¡¯t approve of a painting that opens the door like this, how can he be called a ¡°master of oil painting appraisal¡±?

    At the moment, He Qing was patiently waiting for the old master named "Lawrence" to make an appraisal. Lawrence became more and more excited as he looked at it. He looked over and over with a magnifying glass, looking very carefully, as if he was afraid of missing some details.

    Seeing that the other party was so excited, He Qing was naturally very happy. The reason why he came here was not to get approval from experts like Lawrence. With their approval, the value of the painting would immediately be highlighted. Otherwise,  In his hands, it was just a worthless fake.

    After watching for a long time, Lawrence put down the magnifying glass and looked up at He Qing and Wu Qiang.

    He then had a conversation with Wu Qiang in German. Although He Qing could not understand the foreign language, by observing the other party's eyes and expressions, he could faintly see that Lawrence seemed to have something to request.

    "Mr. He," after finishing speaking, Wu Qiang turned to He Qing and said, "Mr. Lawrence has finished appraising the painting."

    "Really?" He Qing smiled lightly.  Asked, "What's the result? There should be no problem, right?"

    Wu Qiang replied: "Yes, he has personally done the appraisal. But he said that this is just his opinion. He asked if he could keep the painting temporarily for them to do research. They are here  There are many experts who appraise oil paintings. There are also many experts and masters who specialize in studying Van Gogh's works. After the painting is retained, they can hold an appraisal meeting and make a final appraisal. Can you leave it for them to see?"

    He Qing shook his head without thinking and said: "Of course this is not possible, I must take it away immediately!"

    His tone was very firm and there was no room for negotiation.

    How could he just leave such an important painting to be handled by Lawrence and others?  He was not familiar with the people in their art academy, and no one among them could be trusted by him. Who knew if they would pull some tricks and do a "civet-cat-for-prince" thing, and give away this priceless authentic work?  Just in case, it's better to be cautious about this kind of thing and don't take it lightly.

    "Tell Mr. Lawrence what I mean. The painting cannot be kept, and it must be taken away after the appraisal. However, he can call other appraisers to come and let everyone do the appraisal in front of me." He Qing said immediately.

    "Okay, I'll tell him right now and tell him what you mean." Wu Qiang nodded quickly and agreed. After that, he turned back and stated to Lawrence exactly what He Qing had just said.

    After listening.  Lawrence's face changed obviously, showing a look of regret.

    "He said the paintings will only be kept here for three days, and they can give you a deposit and a guarantee letter." Wu Qiang conveyed Lawrence's message and said, "Mr. He, what do you say? Will you consider his request?"

    He Qing's face darkened.  He said seriously: "This matter is not negotiable. You tell him that if the appraisal is completed, then give him an appraisal certificate. The appraisal fee will definitely not be less."

    "Well, then I will clearly reject him." Wu Qiang happily agreed, and soon he communicated with Lawrence and got a reply, saying: "He said this painting is not an ordinary painting, it is very special.  It¡¯s special, we can¡¯t issue a certificate for the time being, we have to stay here, and we can make a final identification only after talking with other identification experts.¡±

    He Qing responded coldly: "Forget it."

    From what Lawrence meant, it was obvious that there was a "threat" in it. If the thing was not placed here, they would not give the appraisal certificate. In fact, he should be sure that it was an authentic work by Van Gogh. He just wanted to take the painting and make it for them.  What kind of research, as to whether they would do anything to the painting is unknown.

    He Qing will naturally not compromise on this issue. How can he feel relieved when such a precious painting is handed over to a foreigner?

    "Mr. Wu, put the painting away. Since you won't give me the appraisal certificate, forget it. We'll find another place for appraisal." He Qing greeted immediately.

    "Yeah, okay." Wu Qiang responded.

    ? ?Looking at Lawrence's expression, He Qing quickly put the painting away.

    After putting away the painting, he took Wu Qiang and left the art academy.

    "Mr. He, why don't you go to the appraisal agency?" Wu Qiang asked after getting into the car parked by the door.

    He Qing shook his head and said, "I won't do the appraisal for now. We'll talk about it later if necessary."

    With such a good painting in hand, he didn¡¯t need to rush for an appraisal.

    Although Lin Haitao said it right, if you want to sell it, it is best to auction it at a large foreign auction company, because oil paintings by foreign masters such as Van Gogh can only realize their true value and achieve ideal prices at large international auction companies, but  After all, this is Van Gogh's work. It is so rare that it is so precious. It is definitely a treasure to hold in your hand.

    So He Qing suddenly didn¡¯t want to take action and wanted to stay and collect it. After all, this was the first foreign antique he had found, and it was a valuable treasure. It would be of great significance to expand the collection he was about to open.

    He has little influence abroad, and no one believes in his vision, but at home, he is undoubtedly the leading appraiser. He says that the painting in his hand is that of Van Gogh, and no one will stand up to question or refute it.

    "Well, that's fine." Wu Qiang nodded, "Then come back to me when you need me."

    "Okay, but it may not be needed for identification. I'm going to take it back to China." He Qing responded.

    At the moment, He Qing did not return directly to the hotel where he was staying, but asked Wu Qiang to drive him to the hospital where Lin Haitao was staying.

    Not long after, He Qing met Lin Haitao and Tian Tian, ??who was taking care of him in the ward.

    "Brother Qing, how is it?" Lin Haitao asked anxiously as soon as he saw He Qing, "There should be nothing wrong with that painting, right? It has been identified by experts as an authentic work by Van Gogh, right?"

    Although he believed in He Qing's vision, after all, this was not a Chinese antique, but an old oil painting from abroad. Only with the affirmation of foreign experts could he be 100% sure, otherwise it would not be recognized by the auction company, that is,  It can't be sold for billions.

    He Qing nodded and said: "No problem. It's just that I haven't gotten the appraisal certificate yet."

    "Didn't get the appraisal certificate? Why? Is there a dispute?" Lin Haitao asked repeatedly. He frowned slightly, seeming a little worried.

    He Qing shook his head and said: "It's not that there is a dispute, but that the appraiser from the Academy of Fine Arts deliberately made things difficult. He had to let me leave this painting to them for research, otherwise he would not issue an appraisal certificate. Haha, do you think I can do it?  Give the painting to them? I am not familiar with them, and there is no one among them who is worthy of my trust."

    "That's definitely not possible!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily. "How could such a precious painting be handed over to them casually and let them do research? I think they approved it, but they just saw the original work of Van Gogh.  I¡¯m excited and want to take it and do some research to see what benefits I can get.¡±

    He Qing said: "It should be like that. Since we don't want to issue an appraisal certificate, then forget it. In fact, that thing is just a formality, I don't care."

    Lin Haitao said: "If they don't give it, they will give it elsewhere. Brother Qing, what are you thinking about next? Do you want to change it and do the appraisal again?"

    The market shook his head and said: "I won't change it anymore. I won't do the appraisal for the time being. In fact, if you really want to hand it over to the auction company for auction, you don't need to do the appraisal in advance at all. Whatever appraisal certificate you get, you can just send it directly to the auction company. They will  There are relevant experts, are you afraid that they won't give you an appraisal? They can only dream of having such a good painting in hand."

    "That's true." Lin Haitao nodded and replied, "Then are you going to send it directly to the auction company? This is an authentic work by Van Gogh. It is priceless and will definitely fetch a very high price!"

    He was very excited and eager to try, waiting to see the painting in He Qing's hand achieve a sky-high price.

    He Qing shook his head solemnly and said: "I have no plans for the time being, and I don't want to auction it. As you know, I am planning to open a large collection, and now among the collections in my hand, this is the only one.  It is an antique treasure from abroad. If it is sold, it will be gone. It is an authentic work of Van Gogh. This is a big treasure with a price but no market. It is extremely rare and precious!"

    Lin Haitao said: "Yes, maybe there is only one like this on the market now, and the others have been collected by others, with no way to get out. Since you don't have this idea anymore, then don't bother and wait to take it back to China.  Go ahead. Brother Qing, when will we go back?"

    He Qing replied: "Just wait for two days. How can you go back in this condition? It won't be too late to go back after you recover from your injuries."

    Lin Haitao smiled and said: "Actually, I'm fine a long time ago. I can get out of bed and move around freely. Even if the wound hasn't healed yet, I can still go back to China."I went to a foreign country to continue hospital treatment. I am not used to it at all in a foreign country.  "

    He Qing said solemnly: "That's not possible. You have to recover before you leave. Just stay in the hospital here with peace of mind. Anyway, there's nothing big to do when you go back, so don't worry."

    After staying with Lin Haitao in the ward for a while, he said goodbye and left the hospital.

    As soon as he returned to the hospital, Wu Qiang hurried over and said, "Mr. He, someone is looking for you!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
