Qin Haodong said: "If I use Picasso's paintings to exchange the bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac with Sir Owen, how many pictures will he need to accept?"

Tian Ye said: "Mr. Qin, it seems that you still don't know how influential Picasso's works are in the world. You can take out any of these paintings in your hand and it will attract collectors from all over the world.

Although China's antiques and artworks have appreciated rapidly in recent years, in the eyes of many collectors, there is no comparison between the two.

Especially Sir Owen, his warehouse has a large number of Chinese art and antiques, what is missing is Picasso, which has a strong international influence.

If you take these paintings in your hand, go and exchange the bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac with him, maybe he will exchange one or two with you, if you take out all the 4 pictures to make a picture album.Then he will hold the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac in both hands and send it to you, and maybe give you some other antiques."

"Really? You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

Qin Haodong couldn't believe his ears. In his mind, the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac was a priceless treasure.Because of this, he drew four Picasso's paintings in one go, for fear that they could not be replaced.

Tian Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Qin, why would I be joking with you about this kind of thing."

Zhang Chaohui said: "Mr. Qin, don't be surprised. Maybe you are not familiar with the international market of art.

Although China has a long history and civilization, due to well-known reasons, more than 6% of the precious cultural relics have been lost overseas. This is an extremely large number, which is beyond imagination.

But foreign works of art are different. It may take several years or even hundreds of years for them to have an artistic genius, such as Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Van Gogh.

Because of their scarcity, the value of these works of art is created by the scarcity of things. For example, Beethoven's hand-written staff was once sold at a sky-high price at an auction.

Because of the gap between the quantities, it is very easy to find Chinese art in the international auction market, and you can see it anytime, anywhere.

But if you want to meet Picasso, the works of Van Gogh and others are very difficult. Once the news of Picasso paintings is published in any auction, it will immediately attract countless collectors from all over the world.

With Sir Owen's financial resources and influence, he does not have a Picasso painting in his hands, which shows how precious it is."

Qin Haodong said: "I have long heard that monks from far away would recite sutras, but I didn't expect that works of art would be like this."

Tian Ye said: "In fact, it's not that Huaxia's antiques are inferior to foreign artworks. It's just a matter of quantity. After all, Huaxia's culture is too long and there are many outstanding talents, so there are naturally more antiques.

Another reason is the problem of human cognition. The influence of big artists like Picasso and Van Gogh is global, and almost everyone knows their names.

In the early years, Huaxia implemented a policy of shutting down the country. The paintings and calligraphy works are more in line with the aesthetics of our Chinese people. It is difficult for Westerners to appreciate and accept. Therefore, China has many outstanding painters, but their influence in the world is not comparable People like Van Gogh Vinci.

For those collectors, the market value of the product is not the most important, they value the reputation of the work more.In the eyes of some big collectors, a Chinese antique may not be comparable to a Picasso's work."

Zhang Chaohui said: "In the past few years, the prices of China's antiques in the international market were not high, and it was only in the past few years that they were speculated by some international speculators and auction houses.

But in the eyes of European and American collectors, the value of Chinese antiques still cannot be compared with Picasso's works.Among the ten most expensive paintings in the world, Picasso’s works account for 4, but there are none of the ancient Chinese paintings."

Zhang Tieniu listened to the side for a long time, shocked one after another, he couldn't help but said: "Just such a bare-bottomed lady, even her skin is drooping, I really don't know what's good?"

The black line at the end of the field said: "Big brother, this is called art."

Qin Haodong said, "Thank you for your help."

After speaking, he waved his hand to Zhang Tieniu, and Zhang Tieniu immediately took the two red envelopes that he had prepared earlier and gave them to the two people.

Tian Ye and Zhang Chaohui said: "Mr. Qin, we should help you, this is unnecessary!"

Qin Haodong said: "Take it, it's been a long time for you. A little bit of fun."

Tian Ye and Zhang Chaohui were no more polite, and directly accepted the red envelope. In fact, when they went out for appraisal in the past, they often encountered rich gold masters giving red envelopes.

The two went out and got into the car. Zhang Chaohui took out the red envelope and squeezed it.Thin, there doesn't seem to be much money inside, he said, "Mr. Qin seems to be too stingy."

Tian Ye said: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Qin is the honorable guest of the old man. It would be nice to give a red envelope."

Zhang Chaohui curled his lips: "What are you afraid of? He can't hear me here. Rich people are so stingy..."

He tore open the red envelope and found that it was not cash, but a check.The face value is impressively 10,000.

"My goodness, this is too generous!"

Zhang Chaohui screamed loudly. If he was not in the car at this time, he would definitely jump up happily.

Tian Ye also caught a glimpse of a check in his hand.Seeing his gaffe, he asked curiously: "How much is it?"

Zhang Chaohui exclaimed excitedly: "10,000, it turned out to be 10,000 Huaxia coins, and I will have money to go out to make girls later."

Tian Ye was also extremely happy after the accident.In the past, they also often received red envelopes from customers, mostly thousands of dollars. It was the first time they met a big benefactor like Qin Haodong who shot 10,000.

What he didn't know was.In fact, Zhang Chaohui borrowed his light, and Qin Haodong is most grateful to him. This money is considered as an information fee.

If it were not for the field, Qin Haodong would not have known that Sir Owen still had a bronze head of the Chinese zodiac.I don't even know the preferences of Sir Owen.

After sending Tian Ye and Zhang Chaohui away, Qin Haodong immediately began to prepare. He wanted to find Sir Owen to exchange the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac.He couldn't wait for a moment.

However, after two people just said that, he didn't want to take out all of his wealth. If all four Picasso paintings were taken out, it might be counterproductive.

After thinking about it, he decided to take one to find Sir Owen.

Since Nalan Wushuang didn't like the nude sketches very much, he packed them in a canvas bag, then borrowed Cheng Uncle from Li Dongguo, and got in the car and drove towards Sir Owen's house.

Cheng was very familiar with the road conditions on Hong Kong Island, and they soon came to Sir Owen's house.An extremely luxurious manor.

The difference from Li’s manor is that it is basically European-style buildings. The entire manor’s buildings are simple and atmospheric, if you don’t know that you are on Hong Kong Island.I really thought it was a castle in Europe.

Standing at the door of the manor were four tall white bodyguards. Uncle Cheng first explained his identity to them, and then made clear his intentions, and wanted to see Sir Owen.

The bodyguard leader said: "Sorry sir. You can't see Sir Owen without an appointment, even if you are the housekeeper of the Li family."

"This……"

Uncle Cheng looked at Qin Haodong embarrassedly. He thought Qin Haodong had made an appointment with Sir Owen, but he did not expect to come to the door rashly.Someone like Sir Owen.If you do not make an appointment in advance, it is basically difficult to meet people.

Qin Haodong walked to the door, brought the packaged scroll in his hand and said to the bodyguard leader: "Please tell me now, I want to exchange some antiques with Sir Owen."

The bodyguard leader said: "I'm sorry this gentleman, Sir Owen will not see you without an appointment."

"You give this scroll to Sir Owen, and he will come out to greet us when he sees it."

He didn't want to waste too much time at the door, so he directly used contemplation.

"Okay Mr. Qin, please wait a moment."

Among the different eyes of the other bodyguards, the bodyguard leader hurriedly walked into the manor holding the scroll.

Inside the manor, in a luxurious living room, Sir Owen was talking with the butler Fred.He said annoyedly: "It's been so long, can't we still find Picasso's paintings?"

Fred said respectfully: "Sir Owen, this is nothing we can do. I have already greeted more than a dozen well-known auction houses around the world. They have all promised to contact us as soon as they have news about Picasso paintings, but it is There is no movement now.

This is not surprising. Who has Picasso's paintings in his hands now will sell them?If I have one, I must not?"

Sir Owen said: "But, in a few days, my friend Cantona will visit me as a guest. As you know, Cantona is a big collector, and I will see even a Picasso painting here. No, it will make me lose face."

Fred spread his hands and said helplessly: "Dear Sir, I understand your feelings very well, but I can't help it."

At this moment, the bodyguard leader hurriedly walked in with a scroll, gave a salute to Sir Owen, and then said: "Sir, the housekeeper of the Li family, Uncle Cheng, and a young man came to visit the jazz together. They are now at the door of the manor. "

Sir Owen said dissatisfied: "Cisse, have you forgotten that I don't see anyone without an appointment."

The head of the bodyguard said: "Sir, the gentleman surnamed Qin said, as long as you show this scroll to you, you will go out to meet him."

Sir Owen said annoyedly: "Don't look at it, I'm in a bad mood right now, and I don't want to see messy things unless it is a Picasso painting."
