Those people in Canton obviously came prepared, and each of them had a professional appraiser with him.
When these people saw the paintings that Qin Haodong took out, they immediately pounced on them like people who have been hungry for days and saw bread, and looked at them one by one.
"Oh my god, this painting is so great. I'm sure it was painted by Picasso himself..."
"This paper is the sketch paper of the Middle Ages. You can't imitate it even if you want to..."
"Oil painting, this is Picasso's oil painting. There is his signature below. It is definitely Picasso's font. I can recognize it..."
These people appraised and admired it, exclaiming from time to time.
Although Sir Owen didn't have any zodiac sign to redeem these Picasso paintings, he came over to enjoy them together.
In the entire hall, only Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang were sitting leisurely, picking up their red wine glasses and taking a sip from time to time.
After a full 20 minutes, these people slowly woke up from the excitement and rearranged the albums.
Qin Haodong glanced at Cantona and others and said with a smile: "Dear gentlemen, what do you think of my paintings?"
"It's great, it's really great. We haven't seen such a perfect painting for a long time!"
Cantona has a big beard, and his beard jumps when he is excited.
Qin Haodong said: "This means that there is no problem with my painting?"
Cantona said: "No problem, this is the authentic Picasso, we can exchange it now."
"Wait a minute." Qin Haodong said, "You have seen my painting, and I still need to see your twelve zodiac bronze heads. Only after confirmation can we proceed with the exchange."
"That's what it should be." Cantona said as he waved to the appraiser behind him. The appraiser presented a large box. When he opened it, it was revealed to be a dog head belonging to the Chinese zodiac.
Qin Haodong Yuanshen glanced around and felt the fluctuation of the seal on the dog's head, and immediately confirmed that it was true.
He pretended to come forward and did some appraisal and then said: "Mr. Cantona, I like your zodiac bronze head very much. We can exchange it."
"Great, my God! You will be my friend from now on. Welcome to Europe!"
Cantona shook his beard excitedly and reached out to grab the oil painting album: "I already have Picasso's sketches in my exhibition room, so I am very eager for his oil paintings. This album is mine."
Sir Owen said enviously: "Old friend, congratulations!"
Cantona said: "I would also like to thank you for helping me get to know a great collector like Qin."
Seeing Cantona taking away the oil painting album, others were envious. Joseph said: "Dear Mr. Qin, I also want to exchange these works with you, and I brought the twelve zodiac bronze heads, but there are
I want to explain something to you first.
My bronze zodiac head was handed down from my ancestors and has been kept in the treasure house of our Joseph family, but I don’t know why there is such a one in the Chinese museum.
I think this is just true, so I would like to ask Mr. Qin to take a look, and if you don’t mind, we will exchange it. If you do, I can only say I’m sorry.”
Qin Haodong said: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Joseph. I'll take a look and see if we can exchange." He felt that Joseph was a nice person and he would put it on the table if he had anything to say. This straightforward personality made him very fond of him.
Moreover, the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac signs in the Huaxia Museum are not necessarily authentic. For example, the dragon head is genuine in my own hands, but the one in the museum was later forged.
Joseph asked his appraiser to put the box on the table and take out a rabbit head with a bronze zodiac sign.
Qin Haodong's Yuan Shen sensed it, and sure enough, it was a wave with a faint seal on the rabbit's head. It seemed that this one was indeed real, and the one in the Huaxia Museum could only be a later imitation.
He went over and took the rabbit head in his hand and played with it. He glanced at the nervous Joseph and said, "I like this rabbit head very much. Regardless of whether it is real or fake, I am willing to exchange it with you."
"Great Qin, this is really good news."
Joseph came over, hugged Qin Haodong, and kissed him hard on the forehead.
He has always longed for Picasso's paintings, and he was still uneasy on the way here. Now that he is better, he can finally officially exchange them.
He gave the rabbit head to Qin Haodong, and then chose the children's picture album.
Two of the three people have completed the exchange, leaving only Gombos.
Gompers said: "Dear Mr. Qin, there is nothing wrong with my bronze zodiac head. It has never appeared in a Chinese museum. You can rest assured."
After saying that, he asked his appraiser to move the box to the table and took out a bronze head of the Chinese zodiac.
When he saw this copper head, Qin Haodong's expression changed, because it was clearly an ox head. The real ox head was now in his storage ring, and the high-grade spiritual stone had been used, so this
It's undoubtedly fake.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith once told him that this cow head was stolen from a rich man named Gompos, but many people in Europe have this name, and the Chinese people couldn't tell them clearly, so he didn't pay much attention at first.
I thought it was actually this Gambos.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think? If there are no problems, this still life album will be mine."
Gangpos said, reaching for the picture album. Qin Haodong just checked the two bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac and he could see clearly. They were not professional at all and were just a formality. In his opinion, they were nothing.
Kaizi understands.
In this case, there is naturally nothing wrong with his copper head.
Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the album, Qin Haodong said in a cold voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gambos, I don't like your cow head, so we can't exchange it."
Just kidding, when it comes to identifying the twelve zodiac bronze heads, there is no one more professional than him in the world. How could he be fooled by a fake cow head?
Gangpos' expression was consistent, then his face darkened, and he said dissatisfied: "Mr. Qin, why is this? Why can other people's zodiac copper capitals be exchanged? Only mine can't?"
Qin Haodong frowned. This old guy was really asking for trouble. He had already said it tactfully. It would be nice for both parties to save a little face. Do they have to tell the truth themselves?
"Mr. Gambos, I have already said that if you like it, I will exchange it, and if you don't like it, I will not exchange it. I don't like your cow head, so I can't exchange it with you."
"No, this is inappropriate." Gompers said with a gloomy face, "I am a well-known figure in the collecting circles in Europe and even around the world. If you treat me like this, others will mistakenly think that my cow head is fake.
It will affect my reputation, so you must exchange with me."
Sir Owen said: "Mr. Gompers, you don't have to do this. Maybe you will get something better in the future."
He was a little dissatisfied with Gompers' behavior. Since he didn't want to exchange, why bother pestering him? Exchange should have been voluntary by both parties. This was not what a gentleman did.
Originally, when he said this, Gompers should have got off the ground, but this guy had no intention of restraining himself and continued to shout: "No, you can't do this. I think this is an insult to me."
Qin Haodong had just gotten two high-grade spiritual stones and was in a very happy mood, so he didn't want to argue with this old guy. He didn't expect that this guy would bite his nose.
Since the other party is shameless, there is no need for him to continue to save face.
He said: "Mr. Gompers, since you said so, I regret to tell you that your cow head is a fake."
"What? How could the thing I took out be fake? Do you know how to identify it? If you say mine is fake, you must give me a reason."
Sir Owen said: "Yes, Mr. Qin, is your judgment really accurate?"
In their circle, it would be very shameful for anyone to exchange fake goods with friends. He was afraid that Qin Haodong said it casually in a moment of anger.
"His cow head is indeed fake."
Qin Haodong said, "Because the real cow head is in my hand."
Cantona said: "Gombos, since Mr. Qin already has a bull head in his hand, let's forget it."
He also felt that in such a private exchange, there was no need to tell who was real and who was fake, otherwise it would look bad to everyone.
But Gompers still said forcefully: "This is no reason at all. Why is the cow head in your hand not a fake? Why do you think I am just a fake?"
Qin Haodong's face also turned cold. This guy who doesn't know how to advance or retreat is really annoying. He obviously wants to use a fake cow head to replace his painting.
The cow head that Mr. and Mrs. Smith stole was from Gompers. He must have known that it was really lost. He must have copied the cow head. He knew it was a fake and yet he said it so confidently. This is
The fundamental problem.
He said coldly: "Are you sure you want me to prove it to you?"
"Of course, you can't say that my things are fake without reason. You should apologize to me now and complete the exchange."
The reason why Gompers is so determined is because he is full of confidence.
He had someone urgently make this cow head in exchange for Picasso's paintings. He had a master forger under his command. The fake antiques created by this person generally had no flaws and were difficult to detect.
And Qin Haodong behaved too casually and didn't look like a professional in antiques at all, so he insisted over and over again to get the paintings in Qin Haodong's hands.
"Then I'll prove it to you."
After Qin Haodong finished speaking, he looked back and took out the beauty thorn in Nalan Wu's hands, and slashed the head of the cow with one blow.
Under the infusion of his true energy, the Beauty Thorn was indestructible and cut the cow head in half with one knife.
