Chapter 840: Zheng Banqiao's Paintings

Chapter 840 Zheng Banqiao’s Paintings

There are three separate small rooms on the fifth floor of the casino.

This is usually a place where big customers are received. It is said to be a small room, but in fact each room has an area of ​​nearly two hundred square meters. There is a circular gaming table in the middle of the room, and there is a bar and sofa next to it.

It can be watched by twenty or thirty people together.

Zhou Wen had only heard of such a room and had never entered it before. He never expected that the first time he entered such a room would be under such circumstances.

"Boss, just have some fun!"

Zhou Wen frowned and said softly. In his opinion, no matter what Li Yang did now, he should not agree to Taro Yamamoto. He knew more about the casino than Li Yang.

It's a pity that Li Yang has already agreed, so he can only persuade like this. Zhou Wen still doesn't know what the conflict is between Li Yang and Yamamoto Taro, but he understands that Yamamoto Taro has always been targeting Li Yang.

Li Yang chuckled lightly and said: "Second brother, don't you understand me yet? Don't worry!"

Zhou Wen looked at Li Yang and felt a little more relaxed. In the past few years in college, Li Yang was the boss that everyone admired the most. No matter what happened, Li Yang was always the wisest person and a good big brother to everyone.

This was also the reason why he wanted to drag Li Yang out to go abroad together in the first place. Li Yang had made them feel at ease a long time ago.

"Second brother, the boss now is not the same as before, so don't worry!"

Li Can whispered and chuckled. He had more confidence in Li Yang. Unlike Zhou Wen and Li Pei, they had not seen Li Yang for several years and had just met Li Yang.

"Mr. Li, please!"

Taro Yamamoto chuckled, invited Li Yang into the room, and bowed his head to give a few instructions to the people around him, before sitting on the main seat at the gaming table.

Li Yang sat across from Taro Yamamoto. Generally speaking, such a room can accommodate up to eight people for gambling together. However, Taro Yamamoto did not invite anyone else and just looked at Li Yang with a smile. This time it was like only

The two of them were gambling together.

This is an opportunity for Yamamoto Taro, an excellent opportunity. Naturally, it is impossible for him to invite other people in.

Mitsui Yasushi and Aoki Weiyo only frowned slightly. They didn't say anything and just sat aside.

Mitsui Yasushi has no capital. He has his own purpose in being invited this time. If possible, he also wants to borrow a sum of funds from Taro Yamamoto to alleviate his big hole. Otherwise, he will wait to give up the company.

Take control.

Aoki Weiyo thought more.

If Li Yang really loses the Tian Cong Yun Sword, it will only be good for him. If Yamamoto Taro wins this artifact, he will be much more relaxed. After all, Yamamoto Taro is Japanese and is much easier to deal with than Li Yang. As long as Yamamoto Taro is willing to

It was all his fault that this artifact was brought back to Japan.

It's just that the size of the credit is different. For Aoki Weiyang, it is much better than not being able to take the artifact back.

Outside the door, several young people came over with a few things. Seeing these things, the smile on Taro Yamamoto's face became even brighter, and he personally took these things in.

Taro Yamamoto's favorite thing is to collect calligraphy and paintings. These pieces are some of the treasures he has collected through hard work in recent years.

"Mr. Li, these are some collections I have collected in recent years. I love calligraphy and painting, especially Chinese calligraphy and painting. Don't worry about it. Take a look at this "Lotus Picture" by Castiglione first. How much do you think it can be worth?"

Taro Yamamoto said slowly, with a bit of pride on his face as he said this. This was the first painting and calligraphy work he opened. The painting was a picture of lotus leaves, and the famous name on the painting was Castiglione.

Lang Shining, a famous court painter in the Qing Dynasty, was also one of the most famous foreign missionaries in history. Among all foreigners, he had the deepest relationship with the Qing court.

It can also be said that Castiglione's reputation is only lower than Marco Polo. Even Nan Huairen is better than him. If Castiglione entered China first, he might be the most famous missionary among them.

Castiglione's identity in the Qing court was that of a court painter. He painted a lot of paintings, most of which have been lost. The few that have been circulated are mostly abroad.

After Taro Yamamoto took out this painting, the Japanese experts immediately sat up straight. Even Aoki Weio stood up straight and looked at the painting carefully.

On Li Yang's side, Bai Ming and Mao Lao's eyes also straightened. Li Can and Liu Jun stared at the first painting Taro Yamamoto took out, looking at it carefully.

"Yes, it's an authentic work by Castiglione!"

After more than a minute, Li Yang said slowly that not many of Lang Shining's paintings exist in the world, but there are still a few in the Forbidden City. When Li Yang was in the Forbidden City, he studied the calligraphy and paintings inside and saw Lang Shining's paintings carefully.

After analysis, it can be determined that this is an authentic work by Castiglione.

"Mr. Li, since it is an authentic work, how much do you think it is worth?"

Taro Yamamoto laughed, as long as Li Yang thought it was true. Even if Li Yang objected, he had other evidence, but Li Yang agreed, which saved him trouble.

"Lang Shining's paintings are very good. I think this painting is worth 300,000 US dollars!"

Li Yang chuckled and said, "Three hundred thousand US dollars, almost two million yuan, is an ordinary and small lotus painting by Lang Shining. This price is understandable."

Taro Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Li is so awesome. I did receive 300,000 U.S. dollars for this painting. How about I pay 300,000 U.S. dollars now?"

To be precise, this painting was collected by Taro Yamamoto for 500,000 Canadian dollars, or in the past two years. However, he didn't think much about it at this time. Li Yang said it was worth 300,000 US dollars, so he would

Recognize this number.

For Taro Yamamoto, the biggest fear was that Li Yang would not agree to the gamble.

"Okay, then it's worth three hundred thousand US dollars!"

Li Yang chuckled, immediately took out his checkbook, and wrote a cash check for three hundred thousand dollars, which he would exchange for chips later.

When he came to Canada this time, especially the money Lin Lang paid him for the glass-type ocean wolf jade last time, Li Yang converted it into U.S. dollars from Swiss banks. These checks were almost as good as cashier's checks.

It can also be said that the check signed by Li Yang can be converted into cash immediately.

After the casino staff took the check and checked it, he nodded to Taro Yamamoto. Taro Yamamoto immediately laughed. He did not start the gambling game immediately, and asked someone to open several paintings around him.

Zhou Wen and Li Pei's eyes were already open. They already knew that their boss was no better than before and must be better than them. However, they never expected that Li Yang would sign a check for three hundred thousand US dollars without blinking an eye.

The two of them have always worked in casinos and have no idea about the Treasure Appraisal Conference. Most of the people who know about the Treasure Appraisal Conference are people from the collecting circle. The two of them have almost nothing to do with the collecting circle. They don’t know yet, Li

Yang has become famous all over the world.

"Gao Xiang, and Lin Sanzhi!"

As soon as these paintings were unfolded, someone screamed in surprise. Li Yang looked back and Bai Ming immediately lowered his head. He was the one who screamed just now.

The paintings unfolded include paintings by Gao Xiang and Lin Sanzhi. Gao Xiang, also known as Fenglan, also known as Xi Tang. Ordinary people don’t know much about him, but he is one of the famous painters of the Qing Dynasty and the most famous of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.

one.

Lin Sanzhi is a famous modern painter. His paintings are the most popular recently. It is indeed not easy for Yamamoto Taro to have a painting of his.

"Zheng Xie!"

Mr. Mao suddenly shouted. Yamamoto Taro took out the Liufu painting this time. This was the last one he took out. After opening this painting, even Mr. Mao could not calm down.

Zheng Xie, also known as Zheng Banqiao, is one of the most famous painters in Chinese history and one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. Most of the paintings Taro Yamamoto showed were Chinese calligraphy and painting. No one expected that.

There are also outstanding paintings by Zheng Banqiao.

This is a "Bamboo Leaf Picture", Zheng Banqiao's best painting, and this is also one of Zheng Banqiao's masterpieces.

"Mr. Li, these paintings are worth three million US dollars, how about it?"

Taro Yamamoto said again that these paintings basically constituted the majority of his collection, and the overall value of these paintings must be higher than three million US dollars. But when he thought of the first Castiglione painting, he would rather endure it and said

Lower price.

However, these words are not much higher than this price. Zheng Banqiao's paintings are rare. Unfortunately, they are somewhat incomplete, which greatly affects the value. However, these paintings are all genuine, which is indeed not easy.

“Not bad, well worth it!”

Li Yang chuckled lightly. He only wanted to teach Taro Yamamoto a lesson. He didn't expect to see these paintings that surprised him. Li Yang was naturally very satisfied.

"Okay then, bring us the three million US dollars in chips!"

Taro Yamamoto shouted, three million US dollars was not a small burden for him, it was all the result of his accumulation over the years.

Li Yang shook his head slightly, and immediately signed another check for 2.7 million U.S. dollars. Adding the previous 300,000 U.S. dollars, it was exactly 3 million, 3 million U.S. dollars, less than 20 million RMB. For Li Yang

It's true that there's not much pressure.

Zhou Wen and Li Can stared blankly as the chips were brought up. They looked at each other and wanted to say something, but neither of them said it.

Suddenly, they felt that their boss had become a bit strange. For three million US dollars, which was an amount that they might not be able to earn after a lifetime of hard work, Li Yang simply signed it out and exchanged it for chips.

Even if they knew that Li Yang was not simple now, they would still be a little confused.

Several paintings were put aside, as was Li Yang's certified check, and the chips were brought up, three hundred for each person, and they were piled high into a pile.

Three hundred chips each represent ten thousand US dollars, which means that on this gambling table, at least ten thousand US dollars are needed.

The croupier came over and Li Yang had already sat down. Zhou Wen's brows knit together again and his whole face almost turned into a 'mountain shape'. He looked at Li Yang with only worry in his eyes.

On the other hand, looking at Yamamoto Taro, there was some excitement in his eyes now, but his face did not show it. He wanted Li Yang to lose all the money, and then lose again, until all the money was lost, and then he took out other money.

Something to pledge.
