Chapter 628

Qin Haodong said, "of course it's true. Manager Tian, I don't have to joke with you."

The field realized that he had lost his attitude and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. I'm just too shocked. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter. Is it convenient for you to come and identify me now?"

"No problem. Now I'll take the appraiser there. Please wait a moment."

The field hung up the phone and immediately asked someone to call the appraiser Zhang Chaohui.

As the largest auction house on Hong Kong Island, he has more than a dozen appraisers here, and Zhang Chaohui is the top one. What he is best at is the appraisal of European ancient paintings.

"What's the matter with the manager? I'm leaving work soon. Don't you want me to work overtime?"

A young man in his thirties came in. He was Zhang Chaohui. He had an excellent relationship with the field on weekdays, so he was not polite.

The field said, "the guy who took you to dinner will come with me. There is an important collection for you to identify."

Zhang Chaohui said, "can't you wait for tomorrow? I finally got a beautiful sister today."

"Of course not." As soon as the field pulled him up, he walked out and said, "we are looking for the distinguished guest of the old man. We must be careful."

The two got into the car and drove in the direction of Li's villa.

"These rich people really don't care whether we work or not." Zhang Chaohui sat in the co pilot's seat, vented his dissatisfaction and asked, "what do you want to identify this time?"

"Picasso's painting."

"What?"

Zhang Chaohui, who was originally lazy, suddenly sat up straight. Then he lay back like a deflated ball and said, "how is this possible? Who will sell Picasso's paintings now? I guess this rich man who doesn't have a long head must have been cheated by others and casually made the painting and said it was painted by Picasso."

As the chief auctioneer, he was cheated by those rich people for many years. As a result, he was cheated by the auctioneers for a lot of money.

The field said, "I don't know whether it's true or not, so I took you with me. I tell you that this is a VIP whom the old man especially likes. You must be careful and respectful."

As a professional manager, the field still has his quality and does not say the identity of Qin Haodong. Soon they came to the Li family's villa and led by Zhang Tieniu to Qin Haodong's room.

Knowing that a guest was coming, Nalan unparalleled went to the inner room to practice. He was the only one in the room.

"Boss, I brought the guest."

Zhang Tieniu stood respectfully behind Qin Haodong

"Mr. Qin, this is Zhang Chaohui, the chief auctioneer of our auction house. He is particularly good at the identification of European ancient paintings," said Tian

"Please sit down." After Qin Haodong let the two people sit down, he reached out and took a picture on the table. It was the nude sketch that Nalan had just seen.

"Mr. Zhang, please help me identify whether this painting is the genuine work of Picasso."

With that, he sent the nude sketch to Zhang Chaohui.

Since the moment he saw Qin Haodong, Zhang Chaohui despised him and thought that this must be the second generation of the rich family who was cheated by others. In his opinion, Qin Haodong's painting can never be genuine.

However, as a professional appraiser, he still has some basic qualities. His expression is very serious. He took out the white gloves from his pocket, put them on his hand, took Qin Haodong's painting, and then took out a magnifying glass to check it.

At first, Zhang Chaohui didn't care much, but the moment he saw the painting, the whole person immediately became serious.

Instead of checking what was painted on the painting, he first looked at the sketch paper and gently folded it with his hand to feel the hardness and flexibility of the paper. This is a procedure that an excellent appraiser should follow when identifying.

After checking the material of the sketch paper, Zhang Chaohui looked more and more dignified. He had determined that the sketch paper in his hand was produced in Europe in the 1940s and 1950s. He thought this could not deceive his eyes.

Now he can be sure that even if these sketches are not Picasso's works, they were imitated in the last century. In this regard, they are also ancient paintings.

The field looked by and looked dignified. He has cooperated with Zhang Chaohui for many years. He has seen some clues from the look of his friends. Now it seems that Qin Haodong took out this painting is absolutely unusual. Is it really Picasso's handwriting.

"Jacqueline, this is Jacqueline!"

When Zhang Chaohui turned his eyes to the naked woman on the scroll, he immediately uttered a scream, attracting everyone's eyes.

Hearing the news outside, Nalan was matchless and had no intention to practice. She came to the door to listen. She also wanted to see whether these European ancient paintings made by Qin Haodong could still confuse the false with the true.

Zhang Tieniu stood behind Qin Haodong and couldn't help glancing. These Hong Kong islanders are really ignorant. Aren't they a naked woman? What's the fuss.

Now you can find a large number of small movies on the Internet. Haven't they seen them?

Zhang Tieniu is a layman, but the field still knows a little. After hearing the name, he immediately realized that the woman in the painting was Picasso's last wife.

Picasso has countless women in his life. Jacqueline is his last wife. In the eight years they have been together, although the old man has always had a mistress, Jacqueline accepted this. The two have been walking hand in hand through the last days of Picasso's life.

Jacqueline created a warm old world for Picasso. Picasso often found inspiration from her and painted a large number of portraits for her.

13 years after Picasso's death, Jacqueline committed suicide. After her death, Picasso's sketches and oil paintings for her flowed into the auction market, and the appreciation of Picasso's paintings was during that time.

It can be said that these paintings related to Jacqueline helped Picasso's works to a higher level.

Qin Haodong also didn't know the woman in the painting and was not interested in her. He just wanted to know if there were any flaws in his ancient paintings.

"Mr. Zhang Chaohui, has your appraisal result come out?"

Zhang Chaohui, who was addicted to the sketch, regained his consciousness and carefully put down the painting in his hand. He grabbed Qin Haodong's arm and shouted excitedly: "I guarantee the reputation of my appraiser. This painting is absolutely true. It must be Picasso's hand and a portrait of his wife.

Dear Mr. Qin, can you tell me how this picture came from? "

Nalan unparalleled behind the door smiled. It seems that Qin Haodong has succeeded again this time.

Qin Haodong was also very happy. He smiled and said, "this is what I just drew."

"Er..." Zhang Chaohui said with embarrassment on his face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. I'm too excited to offend your privacy."

As an excellent appraiser, it is taboo to ask about the source of the collection.

Even in the international art market, the authenticity of private trading objects has always been unimportant, and the higher the society, the more attention paid to personal privacy.

Because of this, in Zhang Chaohui's view, Qin Haodong is satirizing himself. In any case, he will not realize that this is a truth.

"Nothing." Qin Haodong took three more pictures and said, "please help me identify whether these pictures are true or false."

He drew 40 copies of Picasso's works, including 10 human body sketches, 10 child plain drawings, 10 still life sketches, and 10 oil paintings. One from each group was taken as a representative for Zhang Chaohui to identify.

Zhang Chaohui first showed a look of amazement. Now each of Picasso's works is valuable. It's great to be lucky to collect one. Unexpectedly, Qin Haodong took out four at once.

He took over the three paintings with excitement and began to seriously identify them again.

The field also showed a look of amazement. Yesterday, Qin Haodong said that he had some Picasso paintings, but he didn't expect that there were really some, not one.

If he knew there were 36 such paintings in Qin Haodong's drawer, he didn't know whether his eyes would fall to the ground.

Zhang Chaohui identified it very carefully. It took him ten minutes to raise his head and said excitedly, "Mr. Qin, you are really great. I can assure you that these paintings are the authentic works of Mr. Picasso, and they are very well preserved, almost without any defects."

Nalan unparalleled behind the door almost didn't laugh. His heart said that these paintings had just been freshly baked, and they were well preserved in less than a few hours.

After confirming that he didn't leave any flaws, Qin Haodong also breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two people in the field, "guys, I'm not good at art. Please help me estimate the value of these paintings?"

The field said: "there is no specific pricing for works of art, which can only be estimated. About five years ago, seven sketch albums of Picasso appeared at an auction, and the price was $8 million at that time.

Although there are only four of your paintings, it is better to have a complete range of paintings, including all kinds of Picasso's paintings. If you make an album and take into account the rise of works of art over the years, the value should be between us $10 million and US $15 million. "

"So much money?"

Qin Haodong was shocked by this number. Although he knew Picasso was very famous, he didn't expect his paintings to be so valuable.

"Of course."

Zhang Chaohui took over the topic and said: "Picasso is a real artistic genius. The 20th century belongs to him. No artist can be as changeable and well-known as Picasso.

Although he is a high-yield painter and has created more than 60000 works in his life, this number is too small compared with the number of people collected in the world.

When Picasso was alive, his tens of thousands of works had been collected by others, and there were basically no circulating works on the market.

It is precisely because of this that the value of Picasso's paintings is created. "
