Seeing that the two experts had finished their discussion, Vincent quickly asked, "Mr. Fred, don't you know that your results have come out?"
Fred nodded and said, "we all agree that this work is indeed the real work of Leonardo da Vinci!"
After listening to Fred's conclusion, Vincent was surprised, but he didn't forget himself. Since it was identification, he always had to give corresponding reasons for right and wrong, so he asked in a hurry: "Mr. Fred, I don't know if you can give me the reasons?"
"Of course that's OK!"
Fred said with a smile: "let me talk about painting skills. First of all, you may have heard that Da Vinci analyzed the relationship between painting and reality according to the viewpoint that" all our knowledge comes from perception ", and pointed out that nature is the source of painting and painting is the imitator of nature."
"In addition, he further elaborated:" the painter's heart should be like a mirror, turning itself into the color of the object, and truly taking pictures of all the objects in front of him. You should know that if you are not a versatile artist who can reproduce all forms of nature with art, you are not a brilliant painter. " That is to say, painting is the nature reflected in the artist's mind, and it can be reproduced by artistic means. "
At this point, Fred pointed to the oil painting on the table and said: "this painting" the virgin and the son and St. Anne, St. John the Baptist "just interprets Da Vinci's argument, faithfully reflects the shape of all things in nature, and combines with rich imagination to create images that are not in nature."
"Secondly, Leonardo da Vinci vividly described the clothes, expressions and actions of each character, so that the personality of each character can be fully displayed In addition, he also enthusiastically praised the eyes and vision.... "
"Leonardo da Vinci also pioneered the method of light and shade transfer, that is, the transition from light to dark on the portrait is continuous, and there is no sharp boundary like smoke. Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and "the virgin and the son and Santa Ana" are examples of using the method of light and shade transfer. And this work just shows this very well... "
Next, Fred introduced Leonardo da Vinci's painting skills in great detail, as well as the various features of this painting. Finally, he concluded: "to sum up, we can be very responsible to confirm that this painting is the real work of Leonardo da Vinci! Unfortunately... "
Vincent was very excited and excited at first. When he heard Fred's "what a pity", he suddenly "clattered" and asked, "what a pity?"
"This painting is not finished!" Fred shook his head and sighed, looking very sad. So did the appraiser next to him.
Vincent was speechless for a while. If the painting was finished, it would not be his turn. However, when he mentioned that the painting was not finished, he immediately thought of a question and asked, "Mr. Fred, why do you think the painting was not finished?"
Fred said: "I think it's easy to understand. Although this painting uses the light and shade transfer method initiated by Leonardo da Vinci, it's not good in some aspects. It's for this reason that Leonardo da Vinci gave up this painting. But because of this, this painting has done a lot of research on Leonardo da Vinci's painting skills. "
At this point, Fred's face began to become fanatical, and no longer calm. He turned his head and asked Chu Chen beside him, "Mr. Chu, would you please tell me the origin of this work?"
"Mr. Fred, I'm really sorry. I can only say that I bought this work from regular channels. As for other things, I'm afraid I can't tell you. As a professional appraiser, you should know some rules of the trade."
Chu Chen shook his head with a smile and made it clear that he refused. If he was in China, he could be said to have picked up the leak, but this is not his territory after all. Besides, this painting is still hidden in another painting. If Nan Nan only knows the truth, it will definitely turn from jealousy to hatred. In addition, Nan Nan may have some complicated background, which may cause extra troubles. He doesn't want to have any accidents.
"Mr. Chu, excuse me..."
In fact, the source of each other's antiques is similar to that in China, and foreign countries pay more attention to the protection of their own. Therefore, listening to Chu Chen's words, Fred quickly apologized to Chu Chen.
As soon as Fred's voice dropped, Vincent said, "come with me for a moment..."
With that, Vincent and chuchen said hello, and then took the two experts he brought to the side to discuss for a while. As for the content, Chu Chen basically guessed that Vincent just wanted to ask the experts for the quotation of this work.
After a while, Vincent went to Chu Chen with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chu, let's talk about the transaction..."
For chuchen and Vincent, they have no objection to the value of Da Vinci's work. However, because Vincent didn't want to produce too many top-grade porcelain, they fell into a stalemate for a while. However, the transaction is a process of compromise between the two sides. In the end, they took a step back and were happy with the end.
After lunch, the party came to Vincent's manor. At this time, there were two guests in the manor, a man and a woman. After Vincent introduced them, chuchen knew that they were employees of a notary office in Paris.After Chu Chen said hello to the notary, Vincent said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, let's go to my treasure room to select antiques. I've arranged for someone to pack the things as soon as you think they are OK."
"Yes..."
Afterwards, Vincent took Chu Chen and several staff members to his treasure room. As for the identification experts and notaries, let them wait outside. Vincent was not at ease that too many people came into his treasure room.
Although he has used his powers to verify the authenticity of things, Chu Chen has carefully identified all the things involved in the transaction. After all, in full view of the public, some things still need to be done in place.
Chuchen side identification, next to the staff carefully for those antique bags, until chuchen finished the last throne identification, he said with a smile: "Mr. Vincent, it's OK!"
Vincent nodded happily, then waited for the staff to carry the box containing cultural relics out of the treasure room, and then took them to a container truck outside.
"Mr. Chu, I have already installed all the porcelain presented to you in advance. In addition to the 100 pieces of porcelain I promised to give you, I will present you 200 pieces of cultural relics to express my apology for my grandfather's participation in that period of history. You can check the authenticity of things... "
"Thank you, Mr. Vincent. I think we can be good friends. I hope you can tell me in advance when you go to China next time, and I will treat you well. As for these things, there is no need to identify them. I believe in your credit.... "
Chu Chen didn't expect that Vincent was doing such a beautiful job. He quickly came forward and shook hands with Vincent. As for the 300 cultural relics that had been put in the container, he had identified them with his powers. Each of them was genuine, and as Vincent promised before, the value of each of the 100 pieces of porcelain was more than 50000 RMB.
Since Chu Chen's inspection process is omitted, the next transaction process will be quite rapid. After the two appraisers have identified the painting again and said that there is no problem, Chu Chen and Vincent have signed the agreement in the presence of notaries.
Because the value of the transaction content of both parties was not written in the agreement, the two notaries did not expect that the transaction amount would reach more than 2 billion RMB. Therefore, after they issued the notarial certificate, the transaction that would shake the world's antique industry was so quietly completed.
"Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Chu Chen and Vincent shake hands with a smile on their face, and they leave together with Wu Ke.
Chu Chen is quite satisfied with this transaction. Although the price of Leonardo da Vinci's painting may be higher than those of his collection, it is only a semi-finished one. Chu Chen thinks that the appreciation potential in the future will not be as high as that of his antiques.
Therefore, both sides of the transaction have reached their expectations, but for the time being, it seems that Chu Chen has suffered a little loss. Of course, he has not suffered much. After all, Chu Chen can not be a fool. When the comparison of the value of the goods between the two sides exceeds his bottom line, he will trade.
After he came out of Vincent's manor, Chu Chen let the container car carrying valuable treasures go directly to the airport. He had contracted an advanced transport plane there through his uncle Zhao Qirui's friends to transport these cultural relics directly back home.
Originally, Vincent told Chu Chen that he could help solve the transportation problems. Chu Chen declined the offer politely. These things are now regarded as Chu Chen's personal belongings. There is a saying that he is not afraid of ten thousand. He is only afraid of just in case, so he doesn't trust outsiders to deal with these things.
When he arrived at the airport, a man in his thirties who had been contacted by Chu Chen on the phone had been waiting for them. Judging from the man's words and deeds, Chu Chen found that the man should have been a soldier. As for what the man did, Chu Chen didn't ask much. Although in his capacity, it was nothing to inquire about, but when he went out, some things could be avoided.
Next, with the help of the man, Chu Chen's Antiques passed through the Customs at an amazing speed and were safely loaded on the transport plane. Later, after the man assured Chu Chen that he would deliver the things safely to his destination, he also got on the transport plane
