Lin Chen smiled and shook his head: "Old man, you also want me to hold your eyes for you? But I don't understand anything about oil painting?"
Su Ningyu smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, you have such a fortune-telling ability, what else do you need to know about oil painting?"
"I actually don't need you to tell me clearly. As long as you can identify the authenticity of the oil painting for me, I will let others be responsible for the rest."
Mr. Su patted Su Ningyu on the shoulder: "Xiaoyu will go to Hong Kong Island with you. She has studied abroad and has done some homework on Western paintings. Although she may not be able to distinguish authenticity from fake, she still understands some common sense.
of."
"Of course, your trip to Hong Kong Island will not be in vain. If you judge correctly at the auction, I am willing to pay you 50 million as a reward."
Going to Hong Kong Island with Su Ningyu?
In this case, it's not that this favor can't be helped.
And there is also a reward of 50 million. Should it be said that it is a wealthy family? The remuneration given is unexpected.
However, there was one thing that Lin Chen still couldn't figure out.
"Old man, I helped you with this. But I don't understand. The Su family has a big business in Donghai. It shouldn't be difficult to find an expert in oil painting, right? Why do you want to find me, old man?"
When Su Wuyi heard this, his expression became a little serious.
He stroked his beard and said: "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, I have actually tried the method you mentioned with someone. It's just... in China, we have the ability to appraise Western oil paintings.
There are really not many people.”
"In fact, I originally asked experts and scholars to help me with the oil paintings in this room. Unfortunately, none of them could see the truth."
Su Wuyi raised his head, looked at the oil paintings on the surrounding walls, and sighed: "The study of Western oil paintings in China has only been for a few years, but those foreigners have at least hundreds of years of experience in making fakes. Compared with others, we are just
It’s like kids who are just starting school are being deceived by people who have already graduated from college.”
"Especially in recent years, we in China have become richer, and more and more people have the money to go overseas to participate in the acquisition of oil paintings. Those foreigners know that we don't understand oil paintings, so some people organize auctions specifically targeting the Chinese.
, specifically selling those fakes to us."
"Overseas auction houses do not maintain the authenticity of art auction items. If we all buy fakes, we can only break our teeth and swallow them. Mr. Lin, look around, these are the losses suffered by the old man!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen felt a little angry. No wonder Su Wuyi wanted to ask him for help. It turned out that there was some truth in it.
But... Lin Chen asked again: "Old man, aren't you playing with antiques? Why do you want to get involved in the field of oil painting that we are not familiar with?"
"To gain some reputation." Su Wuyi replied without hesitation.
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.
"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have ever heard of those foreigners auctioning our country's treasures overseas? Back then, our country was poor and weak, bullied everywhere, and people even smuggled our treasures out of the country.
Went out a lot."
"When I saw these news when I was playing antiques, I always thought, why can these foreigners take away our national treasures and show them off overseas? We also need to snatch the foreigners' things and put them in the country, so that those foreigners can gnash their teeth!"
"When the time comes, those foreigners will have to come to China to see their treasures! This feeling makes me feel happy just thinking about it!"
"So after that, in addition to playing with antiques on a daily basis, I focused more on acquiring these famous paintings. Unfortunately, famous paintings are too difficult for us Chinese people. I invested a lot of money to get the authentic ones.
I don’t buy many, but more often I encounter fakes like this.”
Lin Chen was a little stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that Su Wuyi would have such feelings even at his age.
But Mr. Su's idea is really refreshing if you think about it carefully.
In the past, those foreigners took China's national treasures out of the country one by one. As a result, today's Chinese people can only go to foreign museums to see some national treasures.
If they could bring some artworks such as the Mona Lisa and Venus back to China, those foreigners would have to fly all the way to China if they wanted to see their own country’s artworks...
This feeling makes me a little excited just thinking about it.
In this way, Lin Chen and Su Wuyi decided to go to Hong Kong Island.
The auction on Hong Kong Island is very urgent, it will be on this Sunday, so you need to arrive at Hong Kong Island at least one day in advance.
And it is already Thursday. In other words, we only have one day to pack and prepare, and we will go to Hong Kong Island on Saturday.
At that time, Lin Chen will go to Hong Kong Island with Su Ningyu, and all the expenses for the whole trip will be reimbursed by the Su family.
After confirming the itinerary, Lin Chen returned to the hotel in the Su family's Rolls-Royce.
And after he left, he was in Su Wuyi's Wanbao House.
Su Ningyu hooked Su Wuyi's neck and said affectionately: "Grandpa, what do you think of Lin Chen?"
"This boy is a nice person and has abilities. I never thought you would meet such a strange person." Su Wuyi said, stroking his beard.
"Yes, if you could have met him earlier, grandpa, you wouldn't have to lose so much money on oil paintings." Su Ningyu said.
Su Wuyi nodded, and suddenly, a hint of an old naughty snicker appeared on his face: "By the way, Xiaoyu, you are quite old. Although you don't like men, I think you should also consider the reception of the family.
Your mother has complained about you many times in front of me."
"I know it's difficult for you to accept men for a while, but you can actually try to have more contact with boys. The doctor has said that you are not really not interested in men, you just lack contact with men all year round. I let you
Your parents arranged a marriage for you just to change your personality. If you don’t like the fiancé your mother arranged for you, then why not try that guy Lin Chen? If you feel it, I can help
You tell your parents and ask them to terminate your engagement with the Wu family."
Me? and Lin Chen?
Su Ningyu's cheeks turned red immediately, and she said angrily: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? How can I be with Lin Chen?"
"Look at you, I just mentioned it casually, and you reacted so bigly. Could it be that I was right? Do you really have feelings for that kid?"
"I don't have it! Grandpa, if you tell me, I won't go to Hong Kong Island!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore... But Xiaoyu, you really don't want to give it a try? This trip to Hong Kong Island is a good opportunity for you two."
"Grandpa, you still say?! I'm angry!"
Su Ningyu stamped her feet, and then left Wanbao House angrily.
