Herbert Vogel!
Introduced by Ivanka, Lin Feng met Herbert Vogel, a folk collector. Lin Feng was very impressed with him. Because Herbert Vogel is not a rich man, just an ordinary man, artists from the folk, relying entirely on the obsession with art, become collectors.
This kind of person is worthy of respect.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Vogel!" Lin Feng looks at the old man, who is already very old. Lin Feng respects him very much.
"Mr. Lin, I've got a general idea of your intention from Miss trump. I'm very... Cough, cough, understand your mood, but you have to... Cough... Know, this is one of my... Cough... Favorite... Cough... Cough... Cough... Collectibles. Of course, cough... I'd like to... Cough... Return it to China. Just, I... Cough... Also have... Cough... A few small... Cough... Small requirements. " Said Herbert Vogel, coughing.
"Whatever you want, Mr. Vogel, just say it!" Lin Feng said sincerely.
"I'm old and I'm not in good health, so I specially invited Miss Tian Xue as my agent to communicate with you. I have fully authorized her to communicate with you. So, Mr. Lin, you can say anything to her. " Vogel introduces a sweet looking lady to Lin Feng.
When Lin Feng came in, he saw the young lady beside Vogel, a typical Chinese appearance.
"Chinese?" Asked Lin Feng.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm a Chinese student. Because I also like art, I have the honor to meet Mr. Vogel. This time, he specially appointed me to communicate with Mr. Lin! " Tian Xue said with a smile.
Chinese students! It seems that there should be no problem with the acquisition of the rat zodiac in Vogel's hands.
"Mr. Lin, I'm old and I'm not very comfortable. I'll go back and have a rest. Talk to you!" Vogel signals to Lin Feng and turns to leave.
At this time, Tian Xue talked with Lin Feng in fluent Mandarin.
"Mr. Lin, I've always been a fan of you. Of course, I'm also a fan of your game. I didn't expect that I could meet my idol today. I have an invitation. Can I have a group photo? " Tian Xue has a look of worship.
Er... He's actually his own admirer. Well, Lin Feng nods and satisfies Tian Xue's wish. They take a group photo as a memento.
"Hee hee, I have to let those people envy me when I go back." Tian Xue looked at the group photo in her mobile phone and laughed, "OK, let's talk about business. Mr. Lin, although I'm your fan, I'm entrusted by Vogel this time, so I have to do business with you! "
Lin Feng nodded.
"Of course, private relations are private relations, and public affairs are public affairs. Public and private affairs should not be confused!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "what are the conditions for Mr. Vogel?"
Tian Xue smiles sweetly.
"Mr. Vogel is old now, and he has 8 pet cats, 19 fish and 20 turtles here. These are already a burden for him, but he can't bear to abandon them, so the first condition is that he hopes Mr. Lin can treat them well!" Tian Xue said.
8 pet cats, 19 fish, 20 turtles! Lin fengnaomenzi black line, this is the zoo, raise so many. However, this condition is not difficult. I can agree to it.
"Say the other conditions!" Lin Feng promised.
"Mr. Lin, I haven't finished yet. For the eight pet cats, 19 fish and 20 turtles, Mr. Vogel's request is that if they can die, then the bronze statue of zodiac rat belongs to Mr. Lin. as for whether Mr. Lin keeps the collection or donates it to the country, it is Mr. Lin's business. He won't interfere. But if they die because of poor care, you must return the bronze statue of zodiac rat to Mr. Vogel unconditionally. If he dies, the bronze Zodiac rat will be donated to the National Gallery of art in Washington Tian Xue said.
Lin Feng turned his lips. This condition is really
"Well, I promise!" Lin Feng must agree.
"The second condition is that Mr. Vogel hopes Mr. Lin can gather together the bronze statues of the zodiac, so that they can once again show the spectacular scene of the water spray of the zodiac in the past. If they don't get together, he demands unconditional withdrawal. Because, Mr. Vogel, it happens that the zodiac is rat. He was born in 1924, the year of the rat in China Tian Xue smiles, "Mr. Lin, do you think it's a coincidence. He once collected a book about Chinese zodiac, which happened to be a rat. Later, he accidentally saw the rat zodiac in the second-hand market. At that time, it seemed that in 1978, he bought it for $80. It has been preserved to this day, and Mr. Vogel also understands the historical significance of the bronze statues of the Chinese zodiac, so he especially looks forward to the water spraying scene of the Chinese zodiac. So, it's his request! It's a bit difficult, but now a bronze statue of the Chinese zodiac is worth tens of millions of dollars, isn't it. Moreover, as the Olympics approach and the Chinese government has more and more Zodiac bronze statues, the rest will become more and more expensive. And this is a free gift from Mr. Vogel! "
"Well, that's a reasonable request. I'll give it up!" Lin Feng nodded.
If you really want to take this to Sotheby's for auction, the price is definitely not cheap. Tens of millions of dollars are small. According to Lin Feng's estimation, if you go to auction by yourself now, you may not know how many people will make trouble, and then you can sell hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, the other side only puts forward these two simple conditions, which is very reasonable.
"What else is required?" Asked Lin Feng.
Tian Xue smiles and shakes her head.
"No, just these two. Oh, I personally want to make a request for Mr. Vogel. Of course, Mr. Lin can think about it. He doesn't have to agree. " Tian Xue said.
"Say it, as long as I can do it." Lin Feng asked curiously.
"That is, in fact, Mr. Vogel's family conditions are not good. He belongs to a civilian collector, and these collections are bought at his own expense, so he doesn't have much money. He would like to go to Beijing to see the Olympic Games, but maybe he can't afford it. Although many of his collections here are of high value. But Mr. Vogel didn't care about any idea of selling it. In fact, he donated most of the collection to the National Gallery of art in Washington! So, if you can, I hope Mr. Lin can invite Mr. and Mrs. Vogel to China to watch the Olympic Games! " Tian Xue was worried.
It's a bit unreasonable. After all, it's her personal request. However, the reason for Tian Xue to propose this condition is that Lin Feng has money, and Vogel donated the bronze statue of zodiac rat to Lin Feng for free.
"Of course, it should be." Lin Feng said with a smile, "by the way, where is Tian Meimei from?"
"I'm from Beijing!" Tian Xue said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, do you want to invite me to watch the Olympic Games? I just can't get tickets for the opening ceremony. It's too hard to buy! "
"Well, how many?" Lin Feng smiles.
"Hee hee, two for my parents, one for me, and then one for my boyfriend, four for me. Is that ok?" Tian Xue's eyes are twinkling with stars, and her face is full of expectation.
"Yes. No problem! " Lin Feng said with a smile, "do we sign the contract now?"
Tian Xue nodded, then took out the contract. Vogel has already signed the contract. Now it's waiting for Lin Feng to sign it. With a stroke of his pen, Lin Feng signed his name. This makes Lin Feng very satisfied. The bronze statue of the zodiac rat is so easy to get. This really makes Lin Feng very satisfied.
"Can I take the bronze statue now?" Asked Lin Feng.
"Well, Mr. Lin, please wait for two days, because someone borrowed the bronze rat statue this morning. He promised to return it in three days! " Tian Xue said helplessly, "the loaner is Mr. Vogel's landlord!"
landlord or landlady! Vogel did not choose to buy a house in his life, but rented it. Because all his money is spent on collection. His family has a collection of more than 2500 items. Although many of these collectibles are now valuable due to the precipitation of time, selling any one of them is enough for him to improve his family environment and live a rich life. But Vogel never sold it. Because he really appreciates these works of art. He may not have a high degree or culture, but he understands one thing, that is, works of art are used for appreciation, not for sale and investment.
"Oh, well. I'll come back in three days! I can't afford to wait these days! " Lin Feng smiles.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for understanding. Then I'll send Mr. Lin away! " Tian Xue smiles and sends Lin Feng away from Vogel's house.
Time flies in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng sent someone to get the bronze statue of the rat, but Li Rui came back with a dignified face.
"Boss, something's wrong. Mr. Vogel's landlord refused to return the bronze statue of the rat. Now Mr. Vogel argued for it. As a result, he was hospitalized because of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage due to his shortness of breath! " Li Rui's face was dignified, "and I investigated that the landlord was from the Adams family. And I used a little bit of means to learn that the bronze statue of the rat is now in the hands of the Muse! "
In the hands of the Muse! Lin Feng's face sank. It seems that the other side is coming for themselves. Do you want to find the place? If so, it's necessary to go to the Adams family. No, not yet.
"Let Malone meet me!" Lin Feng said.
Not many meetings. Malone's here.
"Malone, the Muse has taken a very important thing from me now. I'm afraid it's aimed at me. Now I want to send someone to inform the Adams family to return it.
