"Well, as long as you can come up with Picasso works that satisfy me, the bronze head of the zodiac is yours."
Sir Owen hesitated a little and agreed. After all, there are many Chinese antiques. He didn't pay much attention to them, otherwise he wouldn't take the snake head to the auction.
Picasso's paintings are unique. He has searched the world for so long with his strength and found nothing. Today, it's not easy for someone to send them to the door. Naturally, he will try his best to stay.
Qin Haodong was delighted and said, "great, dear sir, you won't regret your decision."
Sir Owen said eagerly, "Qin, where is Mr Picasso's work? I'm very eager to see it now."
Qin Haodong took the canvas bag back from Nalan's unparalleled hand, opened the zipper, took the remaining 9 paintings out of it and put them on the table at will.
"Sir Owen, there are still nine paintings here. All of them are created by master Picasso. You can choose two to your satisfaction."
Everyone was shocked. The eyes of Sir Owen, Fred and Gerrard almost jumped out of their eyes. It was Picasso's painting. There were 10 at once.
Fred saw that Qin Haodong should take these pictures directly with his hands and hurriedly shouted: "Dear Mr. Qin, you can't do this. These are rare works of art. You can't take them directly with your hands. You should wear white gloves, otherwise you will cause irreparable damage to them..."
Nalan peerless, a foreigner who was so anxious that he stamped his feet, almost didn't laugh. If Fred knew these paintings, Qin Haodong could draw one in minutes, I don't know how he would feel.
But the play needs to be a complete set. Qin Haodong quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fred. I'm a little too excited to think that I can welcome the bronze head of the Chinese Zodiac back to China soon. I've ignored this detail and I'll pay attention to it in the future."
Fred didn't say anything. He couldn't care much now. He set his eyes on the nine sketches with Sir Owen and Gerrard.
Although these sketches are black and white, they are bright and dark in color and clear in layers. They use extremely simple strokes to outline pictures that make people crazy.
After more than ten minutes, the three finally looked at all the nine paintings. Sir Owen said excitedly, "my God, thank God, I was so lucky to see ten Picasso works at once."
Gerald said: "that's right. I'm very surprised to see Mr. Qin take out one. Picasso's paintings originally appeared in groups."
Qin Haodong said, "Sir Owen, have you made up your mind? Which two are you going to choose?"
Sir Owen said, "dear dear, I like these nine paintings very much. I really can't choose them. Can you exchange them for me?"
Qin Haodong looked embarrassed and said, "but I also like master Picasso's works and want to keep some for collection."
After listening to him, sir Owen immediately said eagerly, "no, dear Qin, you can't do this. These ten sketches are originally a group. They are the most perfect together. If they are taken apart, it will affect their artistic value."
I don't want to exchange the meat with Sir Qin Haodong, since I don't think so
Hearing that he was willing to exchange with him, sir Owen immediately said with a smile: "Dear Qin, you are my real friend. You can choose three more satisfactory ones from my collection. What do you think?"
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, "Sir Owen, this is a group of 10 Picasso works. They are not simply stacked together, which will double its artistic and economic value, so I think your proposal is really a little stingy."
Sir Owen also knows that Qin Haodong is right. If one Picasso sketch can sell for 10 million Chinese dollars, the combination of ten can sell for 200 million Chinese dollars, or even more.
He thought for a moment and said, "Qin, how do you want to exchange?"
Qin Haodong said: "seven pieces. In addition to the three sketches of the bronze head of the Chinese Zodiac exchanged with Sir Owen, I have seven paintings, each of which exchanges a collection with you."
"This..."
Sir Owen said, "Dear Qin, I think you are asking too much. In your Oriental words, the lion opened his big mouth.
You know, every piece of my collection is a high-quality product with high value. For example, I spent a lot of effort to collect the van Gogh painting into my treasure house... "
Qin Haodong said: "don't worry, sir Owen, I'm not interested in your western works of art. I promise to only choose what belongs to our east, or what belongs to our China. I believe you have a lot of such works of art, and I don't care about a few less."
Sir Owen breathed a sigh of relief when Qin Haodong said that he would only choose things belonging to China. "Well, according to what you said, in addition to the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac, you can choose seven Chinese works of art in exchange."
Qin Haodong said, "it's such a pleasant decision, but I have one more condition."
Thinking of this group of Picasso paintings, it will be his own right away. Sir Owen was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Dear Qin, if there are any conditions, you can just say that as long as I can do it, I will meet you."
"I want to have a look at Mr. Owen's treasure room. When I choose products, I always look at the feeling. I can't choose what I like just by looking at the names in this album."
After a little hesitation, sir Owen said, "well, welcome to my treasure room."
If Qin Haodong had only one Picasso sketch, he would not agree to let a stranger enter his treasure room, but now Qin Haodong has ten Picasso works in groups, and his identity and status in his heart immediately become different.
Sir Owen asked the housekeeper Fred to take a bunch of keys and took Qin Haodong and Nalan to his treasure room.
They went out of the living room and opened a heavy anti-theft door not far away. There was nothing after entering the door, but a wooden staircase leading to the underground.
Qin Haodong followed Sir Owen and walked towards the basement. The walls on both sides of the stairs were decorated like the living room, resplendent, but elegant in luxury. Many murals were hung on the walls.
These murals exude more or less aura, and are obviously valuable antiques.
Soon, after the stairs, they entered the treasure room built by Sir Owen underground, where the lights were bright and illuminated everything clearly.
Sir Owen didn't stop. After walking through a short corridor with Qin Haodong, he came to a pure steel anti-theft door again.
Fred took out the key and opened the heavy door. A hot smell came to his face, making people feel as if they were in the desert.
Sir Owen said, "Dear Qin, this is my treasure room. I have collected all the treasures I have collected over the years. Now they are all in front of you."
After that, Qin Haodong turned on the light and walked into the room.
The underground treasure room was so wide that he could hardly see the edge at a glance. He wondered whether Sir Owen had hollowed out the bottom of his whole villa. How many treasures should be put in such a large treasure room?
Just as he was about to step inside, sir Owen said, "Qin, wait a minute. I have to turn off the anti-theft system first."
After that, he operated on a display panel at the door for a long time, and then gave a drip. Then he nodded to indicate that Qin Haodong could enter.
For this treasure room, sir Owen has spent a lot of effort in security. Every corner of the treasure room is full of infrared rays, thick as a spider's web. Even if a fly flies in, it will cause an alarm.
After getting permission, Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang walked forward together. The treasure room is too big to see the edge. All the places in the eye are all kinds of collections. I'm afraid ordinary museums don't have as many collections as he has here.
And Qin Haodong can feel that most of the things here emit more or less aura, and only a few are fakes.
Even these fakes are so skillfully forged that ordinary people can't see them at all. No wonder Sir Owen's collection has such a high reputation at the auction.
Li Dongguo said that Sir Owen's wealth could not be measured. If so many antiques were auctioned, I really can't guess how much money they can sell.
After walking a few steps forward, Qin Haodong heard a slight motor sound. He followed the sound and saw that it was an air dryer at the corner of the wall. No wonder the air here was so dry. Basically, one such machine was rotating every thirty or forty meters.
Sir Owen followed Qin Haodong and said, "Qin, we have to hurry up. There are too many things here."
Qin Haodong nodded: "don't worry, sir Owen. I choose things only by feeling. It's fast."
After that, he strode up in the treasure room. He didn't need to see the collections on both sides with his eyes. He just needed to feel with the yuan God.
There are too many good things in the treasure room, such as the pen washing of the official kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, the vase of the Ding kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, the colorful vase of Wanli in the Qing Dynasty, and the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.
If Liu Qigong came here, I'm afraid he would go crazy immediately, but Qin Haodong didn't care about these things. What he wanted to choose was something like a magic wand.
He was so fast that he suddenly stopped and looked at the storage rack on one side.
