Rebirth I can see the success rate

Chapter 54 Art Auction

One night later, Lin Chen got up to the sound of Su Ningyu's knock on the door.

Today is Sunday, and it is the day that Su Ningyu's grandfather Su Wuyi commissioned him to participate in the auction.

Although the auction would not start until the afternoon, Su Ningyu proposed to make some preparations with Lin Chen, so he had to get up early.

Lin Chen checked his mobile phone while washing.

There are text messages from Tang Xin and Zhou Ruoyun.

Tang Xin was telling Lin Chen that his stock had already exceeded $10, and it might not be long before he reached the goal of $15.

Zhou Ruoyun informed Lin Chen that she had recently found a suitable partner in the hospital. The other party was a single mother who had suffered a car accident. She had no relatives and no cause, and she also had a daughter under ten to take care of. Now she is facing a lack of medical expenses. The situation where the operation was performed.

If possible, Zhou Ruoyun wants to support them.

Lin Chen returned news to Zhou Ruoyun, so that she didn't have to worry, she could freely control the money she gave her, and she could donate it at any time as long as she felt suitable.

After washing and walking out of the room, Lin Chen saw Fang Han was there.

However, it was obviously early in the morning, but Fang Han looked tired, with thick dark circles in his eyes.

Seeing Lin Chen, Fang Han opened his mouth to say hello, but yawned first.

"Lin, Brother Lin, early."

Lin Chen walked to the table, which was already full of fragrant breakfast.

Caviar from Maozi, foie gras from Faguo, macarons made by top pastry chefs, and cat feces coffee that Lin Chen is familiar with but has never tasted.

For this breakfast alone, Mao estimated that it would cost more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but this amount of money is like a drizzle to Lin Chen now.

Lin Chen picked up a piece of macaron and asked as he ate, "What's wrong with you? Didn't sleep well last night?"

"What didn't sleep well, he didn't sleep at all."

Su Ningyu walked over with the newspaper, and sat opposite Lin Chen.

While drinking coffee, she said, "This guy went to show off his wealth with a group of friends and friends last night. I saw the photos he posted on Twitter when I got together in the morning."

"Isn't it rare to have money? Su, someone like you who can spend hundreds of millions at any time will not understand the hard work of poor people like us who can only spend millions of dollars a month."

Fang Han walked to the dining table and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Brother Lin, you don't know how prestigious I was in front of my friends last night. They were dumbfounded after they knew that I had a share in 3T yesterday. They called me the god of gambling again... Hehe, but I know that you are the real one. God of Gamblers!"

"Stop flattering, it's a gambler or not." Lin Chen said funny.

Although it was not pleasant when he first met, Fang Han now admires Lin Chen very much.

"Really, I told my friends about you. They all want to see and see what the real God of Gamblers is like. Unfortunately, when I called Sister Su last night, she said you were already asleep. ."

Speaking of this, Fang Han suddenly put down his coffee and looked curious: "By the way, Brother Lin, you went to bed so early last night. Could it be the same as the first performance in the movie, so tired because of too much work?"

"Fangzi, you watched too many movies." Lin Chen scolded and turned his eyes to Su Ningyu: "Ningyu, what's the situation with today's art auction? Didn't you ask me to make some preparations in advance."

"Yeah, I was interrupted by this kid."

Su Ningyu clapped his hands, took a book like a photo album from the side, and handed it to Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, these are the works of art to be auctioned today. Take a look first, and I'll talk to you about the one that needs special attention later."

The auction that Lin Chen and the others are going to participate in today is an auction limited to Western art.

The things at the meeting were mainly from private collections.

Today, Hong Kong Island is the top three art trading market in the world. Because of its geographic location, the art traded here is merged between China and the West, both Chinese and Western.

But this time, Lin Chen and the others' main purpose was to buy those Western artworks for Old Man Su.

Elder Su also specifically stated that as long as they are old, those modern ones are not required.

As for the reason, Lin Chen already knew after talking to Grandpa Su last time that Grandpa Su was going to pack all the treasures of foreigners into his bag, so that those foreigners could also experience the taste of national treasures being occupied by others.

Because Father Su requested so much, in fact, there were not many things that really met Lin Chen's requirements in this auction.

And here, Su Ningyu specifically pointed out a work.

"This is it, Giorgione's "Sleeping Venus"!"

Lin Chen glanced at the booklet. This booklet was provided by the auction house. It not only lists every auction item to be auctioned, but also appends photos of these auction items.

The work Su Ningyu was referring to was a beautifully painted Western oil painting.

In the oil painting, there is a sleeping Western beauty lying freely on a grassland.

However, although Su Ningyu said so solemnly, it's a pity that Lin Chen doesn't know anything about Western painting, so he doesn't know what is the value of this painting. Why did he let Su Wuyi specify it?

"Ningyu, is there anything special about this painting?"

"Brother Lin? Haven't you heard of Giorgione?" Fang Han was a little surprised.

"Is he famous?" Lin Chen asked back.

"I fuck!"

If it were Fang Han who had gone to the racecourse yesterday, he would definitely be tempted to despise Lin Chen at this time. Even Giorgione didn’t even know what oil paintings would he identify?

But now, Fang Han can only hold back the complaints in his heart, and instead compliments him: "It doesn't matter if Brother Lin hasn't heard of it. Anyway, there is Brother Lin's skills, no one can cheat Brother Lin."

Su Ningyu glanced at him and shook his head: "Lin Chen, ignore him. Let's continue talking about business..."

"Giorgione was an artist of the Italian Renaissance and a representative of the Venetian school of western oil painting. His most famous painting is called "The Sleeping Venus", which depicts Greek mythology. The sleeping scene of Venus, the goddess of love, is now in a German art gallery."

Ok?

Lin Chen suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and said strangely: "You said that the painting is in a German art museum? How could it be auctioned?"

"The problem lies here!" Su Ningyu suddenly took out his mobile phone, opened the album and handed it to Lin Chen.

What appeared on the phone was an oil painting that made Lin Chen a little familiar. This oil painting was almost exactly the same as the "Sleeping Venus" he had just seen in the auction manual. However, the strange thing is that the manual The Venus on the upper side was sleeping with his head on the right side and facing the left side, while the Venus in Su Ningyu's phone was sleeping with his head on the left side and facing the right side.

"These are two paintings?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yes." Su Ningyu said sternly: "No one thought that Giorgione actually painted two Venus!"

"In fact, not all of the Venus currently in the German Museum of Art were painted by Giorgione. Before the completion of this painting, Giorgione died. The rest of the painting was replaced by another painter. He is done."

"But the Venus to be auctioned today is different. According to some experts, this Venus is probably a work that was completed independently by Giorgione. So compared to the Germanic one. , The value of this painting is even greater!"
