Chapter 683 Suspected first draft
Li Mo looked at Franke, who was calm and composed, and then at Ruth, who looked expectant. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Mr. Franke, if you offer this price, I will doubt your professionalism."
As expected, Franke had a look of uneasiness on his face.
"Well, let's just make friends. I'll buy it for $50,000."
Franke and his daughter looked at each other, and the latter immediately said: "We each take a step back, seventy-five thousand dollars."
Li Mo hesitated, seemed to be considering the pros and cons, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll just pay Miss Ruth's price. Mr. Franke, you will need more help from me in the future."
What he conveyed to Franka was that now that I have bought this painting for US$75,000, he will need to lead him into the underground trading market in the future. I hope the cooperation will be pleasant.
"Thank you Mr. Qin for your kindness. I am very grateful." Both father and daughter stood up and bowed slightly to Li Mo. This loan of US$75,000 was really timely for them. The loan from the bank
You can take a breath of relief for now, otherwise once they are officially declared bankrupt, the consequences will be quite disastrous.
"Mr. Franke, aren't we friends now? There is no need to say thank you between friends."
"Mr. Qin said that we will leave at three o'clock in the afternoon. You can have a good rest first. Ruth and I will say goodbye first."
After May paid the payment, Franke and his daughter left the room happily.
"Mr. Qin, that American guy wants to curry favor with you at first glance. Even if you don't buy this fake, he will still be busy taking care of you. Why do you need to spend another four to five million Chinese coins?
Winning him over."
Xingkong also nodded, there was absolutely no need to pay this money.
Li Mo leaned on the back of the sofa, glanced at them and said indifferently: "Why do you think this painting is a fake?"
"That's not what you've been talking about, isn't it?" May was a little speechless.
"Xingkong, please immediately contact Experts Huang and Expert Chen from the Palace Museum, Expert Zhou from the Kyoto Museum, and Expert Yu from the Kyoto Museum of Art, and ask the four of them to return to the hotel immediately to meet me and tell them that I have found a suspected painting.
I need their help to authenticate the authentic work of Zhan Ziqian from the Sui Dynasty."
Xingkong nodded immediately. They all knew Li Mo's true identity. He was the top treasure appraisal expert in the country and the largest collector in history. If he said it was an authentic work, then there would be no problem.
About twenty minutes later, the four experts who had returned in a hurry all walked into Li Mo's room.
"Expert Qin, where is the authentic painting of Zhan Ziqian you mentioned?"
"Yes, take it out quickly and let's take a look together. I really didn't expect that Zhan Ziqian actually has a second masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation."
"On the way back, we were guessing what the painting was about. We were so curious."
"On the table, you have to control your emotions when you watch it later."
The four major experts' main research field is ancient calligraphy and painting. They all put on clean gloves and spread out the painting again.
"It's a painting on silk, eh!" Expert Huang looked slightly startled, then leaned his head up to take a look.
"Strange, so strange."
"Isn't this "Spring Outing"?"
"Is it an imitation? No way, this kind of artistic conception is too profound and weird."
Four experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal made sounds of surprise while appreciating it. They had already taken out their magnifying glasses to observe carefully, and were discussing some details and expressing their own opinions.
Li Mo didn't bother to interfere. After half an hour, Expert Huang looked at Li Mo who was sitting on the sofa leisurely eating fruit and said, "Expert Qin, what is your conclusion about this "Spring Outing"?"
"The first draft of the authentic "Spring Outing" by Zhan Ziqian of the Sui Dynasty."
"First draft?"
The four experts were stunned when they heard this conclusion, and then looked at each other. This conclusion seemed very convincing.
"Expert Qin, we have never doubted your appraisal ability. Just now the four of us were discussing the essence of this painting. Both the overall layout and the conception are very profound. The details are slightly different from the original painting in the Palace Museum.
There have been changes, but judging from the mutual verification and comparison, the detail processing of this painting is indeed a little weaker, and it is also reasonable to identify it as the first draft of "Spring Outing"."
After expert Huang finished speaking, he picked up the magnifying glass and looked at Fang Fang carefully, and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is silk, ink and color, about 43 centimeters long and 80 centimeters wide. It has the same specifications as the originals collected in the Palace Museum. Expert Qin, we need to carefully study and identify this painting after returning to China. If we are sure it is
If the original work of Ziqian is exhibited, then the significance of this painting will be greater than the original work collected by the Forbidden City."
"The final appraisal of this painting requires four major experts."
Expert Huang looked up at him and said with a smile: "Actually, we all know it by now. Expert Qin, you have really achieved great results in the past few days since you came to the United States. I really want to postpone the work at the Boston Museum for a while. This
I'll follow you around for a few days. Let us be surprised by what you found yesterday."
"If you are really curious, let me tell you that what I bought yesterday was all porcelain. There are fifty-five pieces in total. One of them is a Ming Xuande cloisonne dragon-patterned lid jar. If there are two pieces in the world, the other one is collected in Great Britain.
The Museum Li is the treasure of the museum over there.”
"Although we are not good at the field of porcelain, as long as you say it is a rare thing, we can probably determine its historical status. That's all, let's just do our own work honestly and not follow you around.
Already."
When the four experts left, they were still a little bit unfinished. Li Mo rerolled the painting and put it into the painting tube, and drew five 's's on it with a marker, indicating that this painting was related to the Xuande Dragon Jar in the Ming Dynasty and the Qianlong Period in the Qing Dynasty.
The Imperial Dayue Sword is an antique of the same grade.
"Xingkong, send him out safely immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Qin."
This plan to repatriate national treasures is so correct. In just a few days, they have already found so many good things among the American people. Li Mo is full of expectations for the underground trade fair he will attend tonight. Perhaps he will see more good things there.
Most of the lost antiques came from China.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, five cars left the hotel and headed towards the edge of Boston.
"Mr. Qin, please put on this body armor." Dashan handed the prepared body armor to Li Mo, "Just in case."
"You put it on yourself. I'm very tough. I was chased by so many people with guns and cannons on Australia Island but I didn't die. Later, I also survived the earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean. I really can't think of anything else that can threaten me."
mine."
Li Mo acted very calmly, and everyone else in the car fell silent. When they saw Li Mo's detailed information, they were all shocked. His life was really a thousand times more tenacious than Xiao Qiang's.
"Actually, it's okay if we don't wear them. At most, we are just a rich man, and he is much more low-key than other rich people. But if we wear bulletproof vests, I'm afraid we will immediately become the focal point of the audience. It will even make those underground forces mistakenly think
You came prepared, as if you wanted to cause trouble."
"Okay, we will listen to Mr. Qin. But when we get to the place, you must listen to us as to how we will arrange it. This cannot be discussed again."
"No problem, you have the final say when you get there."
