"Hey, do you want more paintings, or do you want more people?"
Qiao Meng deliberately teased, and Meng Kai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard what he said, but he still answered truthfully, otherwise he knew that Qiao Meng would definitely continue to find ways to make him say what was in his heart, and he would probably be very embarrassed by then.
, it’s better to recruit them yourself: “There must be more people. Where can I find people?”
"When you say that, I feel more at ease. Later, let's go up and see if it's true. If it's true, we'll find a way to get it. If it's false, hey, let's see who is lucky enough to be able to spend this.
Money."
Qiao Meng smiled maliciously, which made Sneijder and others standing aside shudder. Although they didn't know what they were laughing at, they knew that there must be no good intentions.
Only Bai Du understands Qiao Meng here. He understands that someone will be unlucky next. Now he hopes that this painting is not authentic. Then he can deceive others without any scruples. Maybe he hasn't done this for a long time.
, thinking of this, Qiao Meng was actually full of expectations, and his whole person became a little excited.
Xia Yutian on the stage was still introducing this painting: "I believe you must be familiar with this painting. This is the classic work of the famous painter Davit, Napoleon Crossing the Alps. Originally, my father did not intend to sell it.
."
"But after so many people's inquiries, and today is his and my birthday, I decided to let you be satisfied for once. However, this painting is also his favorite, so I can only sell this one.
I hope you can understand.”
She spoke in fluent French on the stage, and the people in the audience listened attentively and watched. Some were looking at paintings, some were looking at people, but in general, looking at people is not the same as looking at paintings.
The number of people is evenly matched, and there is no distinction between top and bottom. Some people are looking at the paintings together and want to get something. Of course, such greedy people will definitely get nothing in the end.
"Miss Xia, you haven't said how much the half price of this painting is?"
A man in the audience reminded that he liked Xia Yutian very much and had been looking at her while talking. In fact, he had come to her door many times earlier to propose marriage to Xia Yutian.
But he was rejected by Williams, but he was still unwilling to give up because his father was a senior official in the political world, so he was not afraid of Williams.
"Thanks for the reminder, Mr. Slime. I was just about to say that the original value of this painting was 280 million. After discounting it in half, it would be 140 million. Do you think this is appropriate?
"Xia Yutian smiled slightly and asked very gently.
"It's suitable, it's so suitable. The price Ms. Xia Yutian said is suitable." Slime replied infatuatedly.
Many people dislike him, but they don't dare to provoke him easily, because in France, his father still has more say. Most of these people have status but are only businessmen or officials of a small department.
That's all, when you see him, you can hide as far away as you can.
Meng Kai didn't care who this person was. If he dared to look at the woman he liked so wildly, he would have to pay the price. So he turned to look at Qiao Meng. At this time, he understood what he meant before and said, "Let's just
How about messing with him? I want him to play until he has no money!"
"Haha, okay, you should have this kind of awareness. One hundred million may be nothing to him, so let him get a few hundred million more." Qiao Meng said with a smirk on his face.
After that, everyone was eating and drinking, and Qiao Meng and others also waited for the opportunity to slowly approach Xia Yutian, and finally Meng Kai was about to approach her.
At this time, the slime suddenly jumped out and blocked the front, "Miss Xia, come have a drink with me. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Since you stopped playing with cars, I also quit the team.
I find it very boring, when will you come back again?"
"Haha, Mr. Slime is very talented. If you like it, you can continue playing. There is no need to give up because of me. I don't plan to go back. I have rarely been with my father these years, so I need to spend more time with him.
I'm really embarrassed to be around him." Xia Yutian responded very calmly.
"I see, my uncle really needs a gentle daughter like you to take care of him. He is also very hard-working in his business. I think what he needs more is someone like me who is considerate and able to support a big business. Why not
Miss Xia, will you marry me?" Slime suddenly proposed in public, which shocked Xia Yutian.
Hearing this, Meng Kai couldn't bear it anymore. He deliberately stepped forward and accidentally spilled the wine on Slime, making him look embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. Sir, are you okay? Do you want me to wipe it for you?"
Although Mengkai said he was very concerned, the cup in his hand was pouring down unconsciously, which made the slime's pants wet again. The scene was really embarrassing.
At this time, Xia Yutian had clearly seen the person in front of her. She never thought that she would see Meng Kai today. But in the current situation, she could not recognize each other immediately, so she had to endure it first, and then let the servant take Shi
Lem went to change into clean clothes first, and then waited in the auction hall, where he would soon sell the painting.
Slime was about to say something when he was dragged away from the scene.
"Long time no see." "Long time no see."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then left together and headed to the auction hall. Sneijder saw everything, although he did not know the relationship between the two.
But he didn't pay any attention to it. He only knew that now he had greater hope of achieving the goal he wanted to achieve, so he didn't care how they achieved it.
Although many people wanted this painting this time, only a few people came here. The others did not have enough status, so they could only watch the painting being taken away by others.
The painting was brought to the exhibition stand inside, and several people went up to observe it closely. The time was ten minutes, and Qiao Meng was among them, but the time he needed to spend was not much, only ten seconds was enough.
But he didn't see it carefully just now. When he came down, he came into close contact with Xia Yutian, and he realized that it was her, the legendary female racing driver who had been his training coach in S City for a few days and then ran away.
However, he did not say it immediately, but quietly walked back to his seat and began to analyze the information identified by the treasure appraisal ability.
"Hey, it's so amazing. Is this painting originally worth only 120 million? Or is it really that the treasure appraisal ability is so magical? After the price changes, the price remains the same." Qiao Meng added.
Once upon a time I was surprised by this magical power that I had in my body.
Unexpectedly, this treasure appraisal ability can actually change according to the actual value changes. In this case, it will really reach an almost perfect state.
And this time, the results of the treasure appraisal also proved that the painting was indeed genuine. However, it would be a bit cheaper for the slime, but since it had been decided, it would not be easy to change too much.
And this value is not the value of RMB, but the currency of France. If converted, it would be nearly one billion RMB. This gap is really too big, and Qiao Meng can't afford it for the time being anyway.
But he really liked this kind of work. This painting reproduced the scene from 1799 to 1802, during the Second Anti-French Alliance War, when Napoleon led an army of 40,000 people to climb the Alps to break into Italy.
It was also the starting point of glory in his legendary life. From this moment on, it established his future prestige and status.
The entire painting is 270 cm high and 232 cm wide. It is an oil painting. The author's real name is the great French painter Jacques-Louis David.
The style of this painting is neoclassical, and most of his works also show historical heroes, with eye-catching compositions, fine techniques, and a simple but solemn painting style.
Moreover, this is also his first portrait of a historical hero. Napoleon was deeply loved by himself and highly recognized his painting skills. He is also the only one in the history of painting who is deeply involved in politics but obsessed with art.
painter.
"This painting, from the characters to the horses, as well as the mountains and rivers in the distance behind, are all beautifully depicted. No matter the distance or reality, or the details and features, they are all so real. I seem to be able to see the scene at that time. It is really special.
Wonderful, it is truly a masterpiece of realistic painting."
The more Qiao Meng thought about it, the more he liked it. Unfortunately, he still couldn't buy it, but he understood a little bit why Meng Kai was so obsessed with it when he entered the hall.
This is the charm of the art field. There are so many treasures in it, and there are still many waiting for Qiao Meng to discover.
After the time was up, several people returned to their seats. The place was very empty and there were few people, so they basically sat in the front seats. There was a big distance between them, and no one wanted to be next to each other.
who.
"I think everyone has seen it and really likes this painting. I wonder which of you plans to get this painting?"
Xia Yutian was very shrewd. She did not directly explain how many people would bid for it, but she said whoever wanted it, her meaning was very clear. If you want it, bid high and you will get it.
"One hundred and twenty million!"
Without saying anything, a man sitting on the far left called out the lowest price and tried his luck. After all, the price was not low.
"You're so stingy. What's the point of asking for the lowest price? Do you really think no one will compete with you? Then why are we here? One hundred and twenty-five million!"
Although the second man who came over spoke very loudly, the price did not rise much, but this was compared to the literal price. If it were placed in China, it would be more than 30 million at a time, which is considered to be very high.
Yes.
"Qiao Meng, when are we going to take action?" Meng Kai on the side asked curiously. He seemed a little anxious.
"Don't worry, it's still early. Today, since I can't get such a good painting, let these guys have a good time. Don't worry, I will never bury those who deserve to be cheated. Everything today
Just listen to me." Qiao Meng felt relieved.
"Okay, I believe you." Meng Kai received the answer and stopped talking.
