Pat Pat Pat Abbott slowly clapped his hands a few times: Wonderful, really wonderful, Mr. Yu, you really did not disappoint me. A simple pair of earrings can have such an origin. It is interesting, very interesting.
Giving gifts out of emotion and blindly comparing only leads to inferiority. Mr. Abbott's spirit of seeking the bottom of things also made Yu Fei admire him very much. Yu Fei said lightly. He really didn't understand what Abbott was thinking.
Could it be that the value of the gift meant something? With him pressing forward like this, even if he came to the conclusion that the gift from Yu Fei was not worth a penny, what would happen? Could he be able to win the beauty back?
Bert is not young anymore, how can he still be so naive?
There was a thorn in Yu Fei's words, and Abbott could certainly hear it, but he didn't want to get entangled with Yu Fei on this issue. Instead, he said: Mr. Yu, as a collector, he should not fail to see this painting.
Origin
Yu Fei did not answer directly, but said: According to what you mean, Mr. Abbott also has a lot of research on Chinese art.
Abbott was speechless for a moment. What he just said was very illogical. There are many categories of collections. Even in the same category, it is divided into various historical periods. For example, if they both collect porcelain, Song porcelain and Ming and Qing porcelain.
Porcelain is two different fields. Although there are many similarities, it is understandable even if there are specialties in the art. What's more, the two fields span such a wide span.
I really can't believe that Mr. Yu is so eloquent. Abbott said disdainfully. He looked down on Yu Fei from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was just a man with some money and some rhetoric, and he was not a gentleman at all.
It is even more different from myself.
Mr. Abbott, if you are giving a gift, then your purpose has been achieved. Can you please not disturb the time between Alice and me? Yu Fei said.
In fact, even though Yu Fei said that, he really wanted to know the origin of Abbott's painting, because among the paintings he selected from the Bermondsey morning market, several of them had styles and brushwork very similar to this one.
The resemblance is very similar, maybe we can find some clues from this painting.
Abbott's face turned cold. He turned to Princess Alice and said: Your Highness, you should know the origin of this painting, right?
Although Alice was disgusted, she still nodded and said: This painting should be by Master Monet.
Abbott smiled and nodded in praise: Your Highness is absolutely right. This painting belongs to Master Monet. And I bought it for 10 million pounds and came here specially to give it to Your Highness.
Yu Fei was shocked that this broken painting was actually worth 10 million pounds. Abbott couldn't be talking nonsense. But he immediately rejected the idea. After all, Abbott bought this item at an auction.
, as long as you check the auction records, you can know whether what he said is true or false. He should not lie about this.
Although the peacock silver earrings are inlaid with diamonds and are items used by Princess Margaret, if they were put at auction, they would only cost more than 100,000 pounds at most, compared to the 10 million pounds for Abbott's paintings.
The price difference is not just a little bit different. Just to chase a girl, this Abbott really spent a lot of money.
There was no expression of surprise on Alice's face. You must know that Monet is one of the most important painters in France. He promoted most of the theory and practice of Impressionism. He is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism.
In recent years, the value of his works has increased significantly. In 1998, Monet's water lilies were sold in London for US$80 million.
In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer auctions of Monet's works. Many works are collected by some famous museums or individuals. If a Monet painting appears in any auction, it will definitely cause a sensation.
Alice put the frame on the table and said calmly: Mr. Abbott, this gift is too expensive and I cannot accept it.
The peacock earrings given by Yu Fei are worth more than 100,000 pounds, which is actually very expensive. If Yu Fei knew its true value, it is still unclear whether he would give them as a gift. The gift from Abbott reached 10 million pounds.
It is indeed too expensive, and it is reasonable for Alice not to accept it.
Abbott originally wanted to use this extremely expensive Monet painting to impress Alice, but because Yu Feiheng stepped in, all his plans were ruined, which made him very frustrated.
angry
Your Highness, you know my heart. A mere ten million dollars is nothing. Abbott said, and at the same time he glanced at Yu Fei demonstratively. The meaning is very obvious, I can give away ten million dollars whenever I want.
Can you do this? In Abbott's eyes, even if Yu Fei has a small amount of assets, he probably won't have much. Ten million pounds should be considered an astronomical figure to him.
But Yu Fei ignored him. He was silently comparing the painting he bought in the morning with this Monet painting.
Because of the energy of chaos, his memory is very amazing. Those paintings were very special because of the energy of chaos, so Yu Fei read them several times more, and now they were even more detailed in his mind.
After careful comparison, he felt that his paintings and Abbott's painting were probably made by the same person. That means that his six paintings are also works of Monet. This is incredible.
, think about it, if a Monet painting is worth 10 million pounds, then aren’t the six paintings of my own worth 60 million pounds? If converted into RMB, that would be 600 million pounds. I am actually in a
I picked up such a big one in the morning, and it didn't count other paintings. Yu Fei had a hunch that although the other nearly ten paintings were not Monet's works, they were definitely by famous artists.
Of course, Yu Fei also knows that if it is actually auctioned, Yu Fei will not be able to get 60 million pounds at once. After all, although Monet's works are very popular, one of the important reasons is that things are rare and expensive, and they are widely circulated in the market.
There are really too few Monet paintings. If Yu Fei took out six works for auction at once, the auction price would probably be lowered.
But what Yu Fei didn't think about was that the prices of Monet's works also ranged from high to low. The price of Abbott's painting should only be considered mid-range, while three or four of Yu Fei's six paintings were of the same price.
If the painting is better than his, the price at auction will be higher. Of course, everything is uncertain, it depends on the hobbies of the collector and the conditions at the auction site. Sometimes some good things can’t be fetched at a high price, and sometimes some ordinary things can’t be fetched.
Things can fetch sky-high prices. So in the auction house, everything is uncertain.
Seeing Yu Fei's silence, Albert became even more proud.
Poor boy, you should quit now.
Your Highness, sometimes, I really worry about your vision. As your friend, I sincerely hope that you can distinguish between the people around you, who are worthy of your friendship and who are not worthy of what Abbott said.
At this time, his eyes kept staring at Yu Fei, and his meaning was self-evident.
What Alice didn't expect was that Alice suddenly shouted loudly: Albert, you are too presumptuous. It is my choice what kind of friends I make. It is not your turn to comment. You are not welcome here. Please leave Bernie immediately.
,see a visitor out
Alice's harsh words were something Albert had never seen before. He never thought that the gentle and polite Alice would be so angry and embarrassed by a Chinese man like Yu Fei.
Abbott's handsome face flushed red, and he stood up angrily. Unexpectedly, Yu Fei said at this moment: Monet's paintings, I do have a few of them.
Yu Fei's tone was light, as if he was telling a very simple fact. The reason why Yu Fei dared to say this was not only because he compared the styles and brushwork of these paintings, but also for another important reason, that is
The energy of chaos in these paintings is very similar.
Abbott sneered and said, "You are so bold, you may blow your mind."
He simply didn't believe that Yu Fei really had Monet's paintings, let alone a few of them. He thought that Yu Fei was talking about something to regain his face.
Not only did he think so, but Alice also thought so.
Yu Alice hesitated to speak, obviously she didn't want Yu Fei to talk nonsense here. Not only would he not be able to gain face, but it would make him even more embarrassed.
Why do you want to take a look? Yu Fei shrugged and said very relaxedly.
Abbott said with a livid face as he wished for nothing. To be continued...
