616. Gifts (5/10)
Li Du didn’t even know the origin of Ferrari, so how could he explain it to him?
But he couldn't ask this at this time. Jim King was obviously a very clever guy. If he asked, he would probably understand the relationship between the two parties immediately.
He continued to say vaguely: "I'll go back and tell him."
Jim King was a little anxious when he saw that his answer was dealing with the matter.
He rubbed his hands habitually, pulled open the drawer of the desk and took out a box, handed it to Li Du and said, "Oh, man, I almost forgot about something. Haha, I have prepared a small gift for you, hoping to make up for the harm caused to you by one of our company in this matter."
Li Du said: "You are so polite, Boss Jin."
Jim Jin opened the box and it was a square piece of jade, blue and white in color, and a red ribbon tied to the ears, which looked very beautiful.
He pushed the box in front of Li Du and said, "Look at this gift and see if you like it."
Li Du didn't even see the gift. After sitting down, he released the little flying insect, looking for the two oil paintings that he had once been interested in.
Before releasing the Little Flying Worm, he was worried whether the two paintings would be placed elsewhere by Jim Jin, and whether the Little Flying Worm would not be able to find them.
It turned out that he was worried for nothing. After the little flying insect appeared, he immediately rushed towards Jim King, then passed through his fat body and rushed straight to the two Van Gogh paintings behind him.
Li Du stopped it and looked at the oil painting on the wall quietly.
The painting on the left describes a sea scene before the rainstorm. The sea water rolls up waves and blows a boat, and a few people scatter on the shore. The background is a plant outlined with thick lines.
He used the ability to reverse time, and some images appeared before him.
The first image is a man with an inverted triangle face sitting on the beach. His eyes were empty and unkempt, and his brows were frowning, looking like he was in a state of confusion.
Just seeing this portrait, Li Du was shocked. This is the owner of the signature in the painting. This is a real body, one of the most amazing artists of mankind in the 19th century, Vincent William Van Gogh!
Because he is a widely essay, he has seen many photos of artworks, Van Gogh’s self-portraits, old photos of Van Gogh, sketches made by others for Van Gogh, etc.
This person appears now is Van Gogh!
Some images appeared behind, related to this painting.
Van Gogh finished painting the painting in one go, and then colored it several times later. He seemed not satisfied with the portrait and immediately put it on the shelf.
Later, the painting was taken away by a white man who looked very similar to Van Gogh. The white man carefully decorated and protected the portrait, but he seemed not interested in the painting and also put it on the shelf.
Continuing back, the painting went to a castle several times. When I was cleaning up the castle, the oil painting was inadvertently discarded...
Judging from this image data, not only this painting was discarded at that time, but another painting was also thrown away, with a forest and one of the churches on it.
Li Du subconsciously looked to the side. There was also such a painting here, a church in a forest, and there were many people standing around the church...
"Damn!" He subconsciously cursed in his heart.
You won’t be so lucky, right? While asking yourself in disbelief, he let the little insect go, and then time reversed, and the first picture was Van Gogh painting!
Now Li Du couldn't pretend to be calm. He quickly took back the little flying insect and looked at the oil paintings on the wall frequently.
Jim Jin is a personal spirit. He can see that Li Du is not interested in the gift he has given, which can be seen from the other party's casual expression.
What surprised him was that Li Du seemed interested in these two fake works of Van Gogh that he hung on the wall?
Since the second half of the 20th century, Van Gogh's paintings have been rising in the art collection market, and have been sold at amazing prices many times.
Soon, Van Gogh's portrait became a treasure in the palace of human art. Van Gogh became an unparalleled master of painting. Many painters began to study his paintings, and many schools began to learn his painting methods.
In this way, there were more fakes about Van Gogh's paintings on the market. Big collectors were proud of collecting his authentic works. Jim King also wanted to collect them, but he did not have the ability to collect fakes.
In fact, there is a complete set of fakes from Van Gogh he collected. There are only twelve oil paintings and twenty-two sketches hanging in the office, and there are also some in his collection room.
Also, he not only collected Van Gogh's paintings, but also collected works by other famous painters, such as Monet, Picasso, and Leonardo da Vinci.
Of course, they are all fakes.
Seeing that Li Du seemed interested in the oil paintings behind him, Jim Jin asked tentatively: "Lee, do you like these two paintings?"
His voice pulled Li Du out of his shock, and Li Du smiled and said, "Oh, sorry, I may have lost my composure. In fact, I also like to collect it, but I have never collected oil paintings."
His mind was turning quickly, and he found a reason casually: "I was not interested in oil paintings before, and I only saw these masterpieces from photos. Now, after seeing the authentic works of these paintings from you, I was shocked. It turns out that these paintings are so charming!"
Hearing him say this, Jim King nodded suddenly and said, "So that's the case, then you should collect oil paintings. Obviously, you have a high taste and can perceive the charm of oil paintings."
Li Du said: "Is that so? Then maybe I have to try it."
Jim King said: "But I have to tell you that this is not the authentic Van Gogh product. How could Van Gogh product be preserved so well?"
Li Du was stunned. What is the reason?
Judging from the time of reversal, except for Van Gogh's carelessness, the owner of this painting was very caring about it and protected it so carefully that it was preserved so well.
But since Jim King thinks so, he can only echo: "You are right."
Jim Jin smiled and said, "I am very knowledgeable about oil painting collections. Man, I have been studying art collections since I was ten years old. If you like it, I can share some experience with you."
Next, Li Du patiently listened to him and began to talk endlessly about his art collection experience.
He wanted to ask if the other party was interested in transferring these two paintings. Obviously, now only he knows the true value of this painting.
After talking for more than an hour, Jim Jincai shut up with unfulfilled wish.
Li Du was just about to find a reason to ask about the situation of these two paintings, but Jim Jin spoke: "I can see, good guy, you have an extraordinary love for oil paintings in your heart. So I'll change a gift, how about giving you a few oil paintings?"
