Dai Chongshan was also shocked by this painting. It was so expensive that it made one's legs weak. Meng Hengtai's call was obviously to counter Jiang Zhihao's previous lack of face. Dai Chongshan said: "Dong Meng has such a good painting, and
It must be very good, Mr. Jiang, don’t you think so?”
Meng Hengtai is a person who likes to be flattered and has a donkey personality. Dai Chongshan's intention is that he hopes Jiang Zhihao can say a few nice words and the matter will be over.
However, Meng Hengtai likes to hear good things, so does Jiang Zhihao have to say it?
What qualifications does a mere person with a net worth of less than 10 billion have to shout in front of Jiang Zhihao?
Therefore, Jiang Zhihao walked over directly and said with a smile: "Impression of Sunrise is indeed a good painting. If Meng Dong can approve it, it shows that he still has some research on Western paintings."
Meng Hengtai looked even more proud when he heard this, and said, "What you said sounded quite pleasant to me. Before, you..."
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Jiang Zhihao interrupted him. This move made Meng Hengtai's face darken. Dai Chongshan also trembled in his heart and hurriedly came over to smooth things over.
Jiang Zhihao didn't give him this chance. He walked to the picture, looked up, and said, "It's really good. You can see that it was painted with care."
Meng Hengtai snorted coldly and said, "What do you need to say? Which world-class painting is not painted with care?"
Jiang Zhihao smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Meng misunderstood. What I meant was that this painting was imitated very carefully and is not much different from the original."
As soon as these words came out, the living room suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at him blankly, and then looked at the painting.
Is this fake?
Meng Hengtai exploded on the spot, pointed at Jiang Zhihao and cursed: "What the hell are you talking about! I spent 300 million to buy a famous painting, and you said it was a fake? If you don't understand, shut your mouth, you've offended me."
I’ll beat him to death, believe it or not!”
Dai Chongshan quickly pulled Jiang Zhihao and apologized to Meng Hengtai: "Mr. Meng, don't be angry. Mr. Jiang just said that casually..."
"Van Gogh is indeed one of the most famous painters of Impressionism, and this sunrise impression is also the pioneering work of Impressionism. There is no problem with these, so I say that Meng Dong has some research." Jiang Zhihao said quietly: "But
Having research does not mean that you really understand it. As a world-class famous painting, Sunrise Impression is collected in the Marmottan Museum in Paris, France, and has never been sold to the outside world. If it is sold, its price will definitely not be 300 million yuan.
.If I remember correctly, among Van Gogh's paintings, the most expensive painting ever auctioned, called Portrait of Doctor Gachet, was sold to a wealthy man from the island country in 1990 for US$89 million.
.”
Everyone was surprised when they heard that it was sold for nearly 90 million US dollars in 1990? Converted into RMB, that’s more than 600 million! If inflation is added, it’s not worth several billion now?
Some people already had a bad premonition, and Meng Hengtai was the same, but he was still stubborn and said: "So what! They are willing to sell it to me cheaply. I have many connections, you know nothing!"
Jiang Zhihao smiled lightly and said: "There is one more thing I need to tell you. The author of this sunrise impression is not Van Gogh, but Monet, who was earlier than Van Gogh. You don't even know the name of the painter.
, it’s understandable that you can’t recognize that this is a fake painting.”
Everyone was shocked. Isn’t this painting by Van Gogh?
Someone immediately took out his mobile phone and started searching, and then whispered: "It's true, Impression of Sunrise was painted by Monet in 1873. It is now collected at the Marmotin Museum in Paris, France and is not for sale."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became very strange. When they looked at this painting and then looked at Meng Hengtai, there was already more sympathy in their eyes.
Three hundred million yuan, so much money, I bought a fake painting...
