Chapter 1075 'The Savior of the World'

Chapter 1,075 "The Savior of the World"



He was very surprised. How could Liu Dong, as an excellent collector, buy such a humble work?

And just when Eskenazi took a few more glances out of politeness and was about to return the painting to Liu Dong, the hand he was about to extend suddenly stopped!

"Huh!"

After being stunned for a while, Eskenazi's expression changed, and he quickly and carefully placed the oil painting on an empty table next to him. Then, he quickly took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked from the side of the painting.

Jiao began to look up bit by bit.

As time went by, the look on Dennis Eskenazi's face became more and more solemn, and the moving speed of the magnifying glass in his hand became slower and slower. Many times, in order to further identify, he even

I will go back and forth to look at it, review it, and check it.

From the opponent's actions, Liu Dong also understood that with Eskenazi's identification level, he must have seen the clues!

At this time, from his actions, everyone present understood that this painting was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

However, compared to the curiosity of others, a middle-aged white man about fifty years old who came in with Eskenazi behind him did not look very good.

Especially after seeing how cautious Eskenazi was about this oil painting, the other party quickly moved to the counter and started talking to the young man who was watching all this curiously.

Although their voices were deliberately suppressed, Liu Dong's ears, which were ten times more sensitive than ordinary people, still clearly heard the content of their conversation.

From these conversations, Liu Dong understood that this white man in his fifties was the young man's father, and he also happened to be the real owner of this antique shop.

After taking a look at the middle-aged white man whose face instantly darkened after receiving the news from his son that the transaction of the painting had been completed, Liu Dong smiled calmly and said nothing.

"Xiaodong, is this painting also an antique? He has been looking at it with a magnifying glass for more than an hour!" Mei Xue whispered in Liu Dong's ear.

"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded.

"Is that more valuable than Ma Shaoxuan's painted snuff bottle we found?" Mei Xue asked curiously.

"If the price of Ma Shaoxuan's snuff bottle increases more than a thousand times, it will be the market price of this painting!"

Even so, Liu Dong understands that Leonardo da Vinci's authentic works are completely priceless in today's art auction market.

Even if someone offers a billion dollars, it’s unlikely that anyone will do it.

Because people who can own paintings of this level are basically not short of money.

"A thousand times! 200 million US dollars?" Mei Xue reacted and covered her mouth with shock, blocking all the shock in her heart.

Looking at his cute look, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say much!

"Hello, sir!"

At this moment, the middle-aged white man who was the shop owner walked up to Liu Dong with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter?" Liu Dong said calmly.

"That's right! First of all, I'm very sorry. The painting you just bought is not for sale in our store! My son didn't know this just now, so he sold it to you without me. For his mistake

, and I would like to sincerely apologize to you for the trouble it has caused you! However, in order to compensate for your loss, we are willing to compensate you ten times the purchase price!" the middle-aged man said humbly.

With Eskenazi's identity, the painting deserves to be treated with such seriousness. It must be a masterpiece of Picasso and Titian levels. Works by people of this level are not to mention ten times the price. Even if they are two

Ten times, thirty times, as long as this painting can be taken back from Liu Dong, the middle-aged shop owner will not hesitate!

"Not for sale? Ten times the compensation?" Liu Dong repeated it funny, then continued, "Do you think I'm a fool? You would put it on the shelf if it's not for sale? And... no matter whether your oil painting is not for sale or not,

I have already paid the money. According to the law of contract, it belongs to me now and has nothing to do with you. If you insist on misunderstanding, it doesn't matter. We will see you in court!"

He's got all the benefits, how can Liu Dong get along with him over something like this?

Dream on!

Of course, Liu Dong's words instantly made the middle-aged boss's face turn livid.

The other party's toughness was beyond his expectation. He didn't have the Chinese humility that middle-aged bosses usually see in Chinese people, or the humility that is often seen in Chinese people!

But even though he was angry, Liu Dong's words made him understand that this oil painting did not belong to him at all. No matter which country it is, after normal transactions between the two parties, it is impossible to ask the buyer to return it because of a misunderstanding!

Neither legal nor moral, it is impossible!

Liu Dong didn't bother to talk to this guy who was obsessed with money and wanted to take advantage of him.

When he turned his head, he also saw Eskenazi taking a deep breath. From the trembling behavior of his hands when he stood up, Liu Dong understood that the other party must have seen something.

really!

"Mr. Liu, I personally like this painting very much. If Mr. Liu doesn't mind, I'm willing to buy it for 1 million pounds!" Dennis Eskenazi tried to keep his tone calm.

However, Liu Dong, who was observant and meticulous, had long discovered the excitement in his eyes that he had suppressed but had not yet disappeared.

"I'm sorry, I also like this painting very much and have no plans to sell it for the time being!"

Seeing Liu Dong shaking his head, Eskenazi said quickly: "How about 5 million pounds?"

"ah!"

The middle-aged boss who exclaimed felt extremely regretful at this moment!

Five million pounds, this is five million pounds! It is worth more than everything in his entire store put together! As a result, because of his ignorance, he priced such a giant treasure at the bargain price of 1,200 pounds, and now it is even more valuable.

It fell into someone else's hands.

This feeling was as if someone had stabbed him twice, it hurt so much!

Eskenazi seemed to be indifferent to the exclamations of the people around him. His eyes were still fixed on Liu Dong, and even Mei Xue could see the longing look on his face.

However, what made Eskenazi extremely regretful was that Liu Dong still shook his head firmly.

"If Mr. Liu is not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again...!"

After waving his hand to interrupt the other party, Liu Dong said directly: "Mr. Eskenazi, I'm very sorry. I personally like this oil painting and have no plans to sell it!"

Liu Dong's categorical words made Dennis Eskenazi understand that he was really hopeless this time!

At the same time, he also understood that Liu Dong must have seen the clues in this painting just like him! That's why his attitude was so firm.

But at this moment, he had a contingency in his mind, thinking that Liu Dong might simply think that the painting was of good quality, so he wanted to keep it in his hands and play with it for a while, and then wait until he got tired of playing with it before taking action.

Although the latter possibility was very low, Eskenazi still did not want to give up this hope. Therefore, he did not intend to tell the origin of the painting on the spot, and still hoped to obtain it from Liu Dong in the future.

.

"That's such a pity! If Mr. Liu has any plans to sell this painting in the future, please remember to contact me!" Eskenazi, who said this, had already decided in his heart that he would go there often if he had nothing to do.

China, talk to Liu Dong about your thoughts.

Not for anything else, just for this painting!

"Okay, if I really plan to sell this painting, I will definitely contact Mr. Eskenazi!" Liu Dong smiled lightly.

Although he said this, Liu Dong knew best in his heart. Once this painting is in his hands, it will definitely not enter the market again!

However, he is also happy that Eskenazi pretends to be confused while pretending to understand! Otherwise, if the other party's identity is to say that this painting is the last work of Leonardo da Vinci, then there is no need to wait until the next day, just for the rest of today

In a matter of seconds, his cell phone is full of calls from people seeking to buy it.

Even when leaving customs, you will be subject to strict inspection by British Customs. Generally, artworks of this level will not be allowed to be taken out of the UK!

But now these worries are gone for the time being!

"This is my business card. If Mr. Liu wants to sell this painting, you can call me at any time!"

"Thanks!"

After the two parties exchanged business cards, Eskenazi immediately realized the importance of strengthening ties with Liu Dong and becoming friends.

Only more bonds and more friendships can make the process of obtaining this painting smoother.

So when Eskenazi was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He stopped and asked, "I wonder why Mr. Liu came to London this time...?"

"Oh, I promised a friend to come to the Royal Ascot that will be held in Berkshire soon!" Liu Dong said without any secret.

"Royal Ascot? I didn't expect Mr. Liu to also like horse riding?"

"I like it very much!" Liu Dong said.

"Haha, it seems that our hobbies are quite similar. If Mr. Liu has time, I am very willing to compete in equestrianism with Mr. Liu!" Eskenazi said.

"This is my honor!" Liu Dong said politely.

After nodding, Eskenazi waved. Soon, the middle-aged secretary who was following him immediately took out two invitations from the black leather bag he carried and handed them to his boss.

"There will be a charity auction held at my home tonight! I would like to invite Mr. Liu and the beautiful lady next to you to participate. I wonder if Mr. Liu is willing to show off?" Eskenazi said.

After taking a look at the gorgeous golden invitation in his hand, Liu Dong smiled and said, "I am very willing. It is an honor for me to receive Mr. Eskenazi's invitation!"

After hearing his words, Dennis Eskenazi immediately smiled more on his face. (To be continued.)
