In 1744, Samuel Baker founded Sosby in London, making it one of the oldest auction houses in the world. In his early years, he mainly engaged in book auctions and was once an outstanding person in history, such as Napoleon and others.
Large-scale book collection provides trading opportunities. Sosby's business covers 34 countries around the world, with major auction centers located in New York, the United States and London, the United Kingdom, and regularly auctions at 13 other major art centers around the world.
A conspicuous British flag was inserted at the door of Sosby's company, and the red, white and blue colors reminded Luo Tian that this is in the UK, the origin of Sosby, and now it depends entirely on Shao Xiaoya. Shao Xiaoya walked forward quickly
, introducing Luo Tian and Huang Lide, the receptionist opened his mouth slightly and began to call the phone on the table. After some communication, Shao Xiaoya turned around and said, "It's done, we're going to see Sosby's head now, Mr. Zhan
gentlemen."
Mr. Zhan Bo is a middle-aged foreigner. Gao Ting's nose seems to have an eagle on his face. Luo Tian and Huang Lide are both knowledgeable figures and are not at all frightened. As soon as they enter Zhan Bo's office
In the middle, Zhan Bo immediately jumped up excitedly, rushed to the hands of both of them, held their hands tightly, and kept spitting out English words. Luo Tian could only barely understand three or four, and then look at Huang Lide.
, he was completely confused and couldn't understand a word. Huang Lide sent a signal to Shao Xiaoya for help.
"Luo Tian, Mr. Zhan Bo hopes to verify the authenticity of the luminous cup, and then go through the warehouse entry procedures as soon as possible." Shao Xiaoya said.
This is too simple. Luo Tian took out a pair of luminous cups, turned off the lights, pulled up the heavy curtains, and did everything he had practiced before. Seeing the shining luminous cup, Mr. Zhan said
He exclaimed, this time, Luo Tian understood, it was beautiful! Of course, it was beautiful, Luo Tian confidently turned on the lights and opened the curtains.
Mr. Zhan rang the bell on the table, and a beautiful foreign girl came in outside immediately, holding a stack of documents in her hand. Shao Xiaoya said: "Now we have to go through the procedures. I will translate the things you don't understand.
, you can just fill in Chinese, I will translate it on the note next to it."
"Then please." Luo Tian's politeness made Shao Xiaoya frown slightly.
After a lot of trouble, Luo Tian finally completed all the procedures and was about to be put into the warehouse. The three of them followed Uncle Zhan downstairs. When two men dressed as workers, they carried two paintings upstairs, Luo Tian swept them.
At a glance, his face darkened, these two paintings...
"What's wrong with Luo Tian?" Shao Xiaoya asked: "Is there anything wrong with these two paintings?
"Ask Mr. Zhan for me, are these two paintings also lots?" Luo Tian said.
Shao Xiaoya quickly communicated with Mr. Zhan Bo. Mr. Zhan Bo raised his eyebrows and held his hands in front of his chest. He felt a little impatient. After finishing, he shook his head: "This is bought to set up the auction venue, and it is from the French painter.
Painting.”
"No, only one is the genuine one, and the other is the fake one. Please tell Mr. Zhan Bo for me." Luo Tian said affirmatively.
Uncle Zhan heard Shao Xiaoya turn Luo Tian's words and said nothing. They came for the luminous cup, not Luo Tian. It would take some effort to get recognition in a foreign country. Luo Tian knew this well.
The truth is that now is an important time. As long as you can reasonably convince Mr. Zhan, you will have a good start.
"Please tell Mr. Zhan Bo, who was a French painter in the 1920s. Legend has it that he doesn't like signing, but he hid the signatures in the New Impressionist painter. The method is very simple. Sign on the canvas first, then draw, and take the blue first
The colored oil paint is signed on the canvas, and the signature is covered with other colors of oil paint. Multi-band lights can find his signature. With a photo, the signature can be displayed. One of the two paintings just now is a fake, using
The multi-band lights will be cleared as soon as they are shining." Luo Tian looked at Shao Xiaoya, hoping that she could translate the past perfectly.
Shao Xiaoya deserves to be growing up abroad. She gestured with her hands and said to Uncle Zhan. Uncle Zhan's expression, which had not been silenced, gradually turned into frowning. He looked at Luo Tian and spit out a few words.
Luo Tian looked at Shao Xiaoya helplessly, and Shao Xiaoya said, "Mr. Zhan said that after completing the entry procedures, he will work with you to verify the true body of the two paintings."
Just test it. Luo Tian was full of confidence and nodded: "No problem."
The group went to store the luminous cups. In this way, the luminous cups would be officially on the world stage. The group turned back to Zhan Bo's office, and the two paintings were placed there, but the corners were not removed yet.
Two workers were waiting for Mr. Zhan to sign for the protection envelope. Mr. Zhan was not in a hurry. He quickly explained to his secretary some things. After a while, the sexy and charming secretary took out a portable multi-band light source.
Multi-band light sources are mainly used in criminal investigation technology. They can stimulate traces or background fluorescence to enhance the contrast of traces. Under its irradiation, hidden fingerprints can even be found.
Mr. Zhan started to inspect the two paintings and inspected them very carefully. About ten minutes later, Mr. Zhan sighed, put his hands on his waist, and kept saying something in his mouth. The two delivery workers changed their faces.
, looking very embarrassed, Shao Xiaoya attached to Luo Tian's ear and said, "I'll make you understand. One of them is indeed a fake. Mr. Zhan Bo asked the two workers to take the fake back and only wanted to sign for the authentic one.
"No wonder the two workers were so embarrassed.
Finally, the two workers carried the fake, and Uncle Zhan smiled and turned to Luo Tian, giving him a thumbs up. Luo Tian took a deep breath, and the first battle was considered successful!
The three of them left the auction company, and Huang Lide said, "We just passed by the workers, but you saw that one of them was a fake. This skill really made me ashamed. I was really worried that you would miss it just now.
No, foreigners are different from Chinese people, they are very serious."
"I don't dare to speak without being sure." Luo Tian let out a deep breath: "In fact, using multi-band light sources to identify artworks is also something I just learned on the plane."
Luo Tian flipped out a book in his luggage, pointed at it and said, "Learn and sell now!"
Huang Lide was speechless. He held his finger and pointed at Luo Tian: "You are really worthy of being Luo Tian. This is such a great courage!"
Luo Tian touched his head embarrassedly: "Brother Zhan obviously despises us very much. If he doesn't take us seriously, I have to take risks, but I didn't expect it to be taken!"
"I think you are completely sure, please stop lying!" Shao Xiaoya's words hit Luo Tian's fatal point. Luo Tian didn't say anything, just smiled.
