The Reincarnated Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Fred said: "Well, let me show this painting. After all, we cooperate with the Li family's auction house the most. Since it is the person sent by the Li family, we still have to give some face."

Cisse agreed and sent the scroll in his hand to Fred.

Fred took the scroll, removed the outer packaging, and spread it out on the table. When he opened it halfway, Jacqueline's unclothed upper body was exposed.

As the chief butler of Sir Owen, Fred is also an erudite figure, especially in antiques. Although he only opened half of the painting, he has recognized that this is Picasso's wife, Jacqueline.

Suddenly his body was struck by lightning, and his whole person began to tremble slightly, and the action of opening the scroll became cautious.

He opened the entire painting.Seeing a complete Jacqueline, I was sure that this was Picasso's painting, and shouted excitedly: "Perfect, it's so perfect!"

Sir Owen poured a glass of red wine himself and was slowly tasting it next to him.After hearing Fred's words, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Dear Fred, it's just a painting. How can I make you so gaffe? What kind of ancient paintings are there in our treasure room?"

"No, we really don't have one here!" Fred exclaimed excitedly."Sir, this is Picasso's painting, look at this is Jacqueline!"

After hearing Fred's words, Sir Owen immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and said with an incredulous expression: "Fred, you are not kidding me, this is not what a gentleman should do."

"Sir Owen, why would I be joking with you, look at this as Picasso's wife Jacqueline."

Confirming that Fred was not joking with him, Sir Owen walked over quickly, and his expression became extremely excited when he saw the painting in front of him.

"Oh my God, could it be that my sincerity moved God and sent me a picture of Picasso."

Sir Owen took a white glove from a servant and put it on his hand, and then began to examine the painting carefully.

A few minutes later, he exclaimed excitedly: "Dear Fred, I confirm that this is the original Picasso, it is perfect."

Although he is not a professional appraiser, he has collected countless antiques and treasures over the years, and he has certain attainments in the appraisal of ancient paintings.

Fred said, "Sir, just in case, let's get Gerrard appraiser."

"You are right. This is Picasso's painting. We can't be sloppy." Sir Owen took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and said to a servant next to him, "You invite Mr. Gerrard as quickly as possible. come."

"Good Sir."

The servant agreed and walked quickly out of the living room, and a few minutes later came in with a blond white man who was Sir Owen's personal treasure appraiser Gerald.

Although Gerrard is Irving's personal appraiser, he has a very high reputation in the field of international antique appraisal. So far, he has never made mistakes in the works he appraised.

After walking into the living room, Gerrard saw the excited Sir Owen and Fred, and asked suspiciously: "Dear Sir, is this a treasure?"

Sir Owen said excitedly: "Dear Gerald, come and see, Picasso's painting, this is Picasso's painting!"

Hearing Picasso's picture scroll, Gerrard was also refreshed and walked quickly to the table.Then he took out the white gloves and magnifying glass from his pocket, and looked at it carefully.

After a full five minutes, Sir Owen couldn't help it, and asked, "Dear Gerrard, tell me if this is a genuine Picasso?"

Gerrard stood up and said excitedly: "Dear Sir, I can swear to God, this is definitely Picasso's masterpiece."

Sir Owen exclaimed in excitement: "It's great, it's great, I finally own Picasso's work."

Fred was relatively calm. He said, "Dear Sir, have you forgotten that this painting does not belong to you yet, but to Mr. Qin who is waiting outside the door."

Sir Owen slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "God, forgive me, I also let the distinguished guests wait outside. Dear Fred, let's go out together and invite the most distinguished guests in."

Outside the manor, Uncle Cheng said to Qin Haodong: "Mr. Qin. Sir Owen is very distinguished. Are you sure he will meet us after seeing the painting?"

"Uncle Cheng, don't worry, I believe Sir Owen will come out to greet us soon."

According to the information Qin Haodong got from Tian Ye, this Sir Owen was very eager to get a Picasso work.I believe he will come out to welcome him after seeing his painting.

The two were talking, suddenly the door opened, and Sir Owen led Fred and Gerrard out hurriedly, followed by four or five servants.

Sir Owen came to Qin Haodong and bent his body slightly with one hand on his chest.A standard gentleman's ceremony was given.

"Dear Mr. Qin, please forgive me for my negligence towards you."

Qin Haodong said, "Sir Owen, it's nice to meet you."

"Dear sir, beautiful lady, please follow me."

Welcomed by Sir Owen and his servants.Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang walked into the manor together.

Uncle Cheng looked shocked. He was very aware of Sir Owen's status on Hong Kong Island, and did not understand what magic Qin Haodong used to make him come out to meet him in person.

As the housekeeper of the Li family, he naturally knew that he was not suitable to participate in this kind of occasion.So instead of entering Sir Owen's manor, he returned to the car and waited.

After entering the living room, Sir Owen warmly entertained Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang to take a seat, and gave each of them a glass of fine wine, and then said with a smile: "Dear Qin. Your painting is so perfect. Up.

I have always been eager to own a Picasso painting. I would like to ask how you can transfer this painting, or in the words of your Huaxia, it is called reluctant to give up."

Although Sir Owen is an empire, he grew up on Hong Kong Island.Not only does he speak Chinese very well, but he also knows a lot about Chinese culture, and he even uses idioms.

Qin Haodong said: "Of course, I heard that Sir Owen has collected many Chinese antiques here, so I want to exchange Picasso's paintings with you."

Sir Owen said: "Mr. Qin. I am very willing to be friends with you and exchange some collections. Do you have any goals you have selected?"

Qin Haodong spread his hands and said, "I don't know this yet, because I don't know what Sir Owen's collection is."

According to Tian Ye, he did not directly state the purpose of his trip.

"It doesn't matter. I can let you choose. As long as things are suitable, we can make an exchange that satisfies us."

Sir Owen said to Fred next to him: "Bring the catalog of our collection and let Mr. Qin choose it."

"Okay, Mr. Sir."

After talking, Fred turned around and went out. Time was short, and he walked in with a catalog. The records above were all collections in Sir Owen's treasury.

"Mr. Qin, please have a look."

Fred politely sent the catalog to Qin Haodong.

"Thank you!"

Qin Haodong smiled at Fred, then opened the catalog.Check it quickly.

Sir Owen's collection is indeed very rich, almost as many as several thousand, including almost all antiques from all over the world.

The first part of the catalog is all European artworks. It can be seen that these collections still have a higher status in Sir Owen's mind.

But Qin Haodong didn't care about these things at all.He flipped through it quickly, and found the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac-the chicken head, in the last few pages of the catalog.

He resisted his excitement and said: "Sir Owen, I was fortunate to have the snake head you auctioned at yesterday's auction. As a Chinese, I have a special affection for the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac. I want to bring them all back to China in my lifetime.

Just now I saw that there was a bronze head of the Chinese zodiac in your catalog. I decided to exchange this picture of Picasso for this chicken head. What do you think?"

Sir Owen said: "Dear Qin, as a friend, I should satisfy your wishes. This bronze head of the Chinese zodiac is a treasure of your Chinese zodiac. I also like it very much, so I am a little reluctant."

Qin Haodong smiled slightly. He knew very well that the foreigner was not reluctant at all. As Tian Ye said, Chinese antiques were not taken seriously by him, as can be seen from the order of the bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac in the catalog.

Sir Owen said this because he was a little dissatisfied with the price he quoted. It is indeed the case. If Picasso’s paintings and the copper capital of the Chinese zodiac are replaced with Chinese coins, a copper head of the Chinese zodiac will cost about 5. About 10,000 yuan, and this Picasso painting is 10,000 Chinese coins at most.

Although the exchange between collectors pays more attention to the reputation of the collection, the value cannot be too different.

He said: "Sir Owen, I am very sincere. Do you think that using a few of these Picasso paintings can make you reluctant to part with this bronze head of the Chinese zodiac? Two or three?"

After he finished speaking.Sir Owen's eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly: "Dear Qin, do you still have Mr. Picasso's painting in your hand?"

Qin Haodong smiled and acquiesced, but did not say how many Picasso paintings he still had. This was also a negotiation.Of course he will not reveal his hole cards in advance.

Sir Owen thought for a while, stretched out a palm and said: "Five! As long as you have five Picasso drawings, I will exchange this bronze head of the Chinese zodiac with you."

Qin Haodong said: "Sir Owen, 5 is too much. You have to be clear that these are Picasso's paintings. If you can receive it in your treasure house, it will definitely help you become a world-class collector."

Although he has a sketch of this kind in his hand, although he can draw one of these sketches in a few minutes, Sir Owen has many treasures here, and he doesn't mind changing some more and bringing it back to China.
