mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 500
Hamilton Fish didn't change his face, and he said convincingly: "I naturally think it's good. In fact, this painting was the first one I found, which made my eyes shine. I can't say it is the best, but it is definitely in today's exhibition One of the most unique paintings ever."

Thomas W. Lawson was ecstatic.

He doesn't know much about art, but he understands people's hearts.

Come on, a painting that the boss wants to throw in the trash can seems to be going up in value, and there is still a lot of space.

With the endorsement of two well-known painters, and the halo bonus of Zhao Chuanxin's "Far East Butcher" himself, it's hard not to think it's popular!

Thomas W. Lawson proudly said: "At that time, when my boss, that is, Zhao Chuanxin was painting, I was by his side."

Everyone in New York knows that Thomas W. Lawson and Zhao Chuanxin have a very good relationship.

So much so that he made a mistake and was censored, Zhao Chuanxin didn't ask him to settle the score, but helped him bear it, threatening Da Luo to get the money back.

From the bottom of my heart, everyone likes such a boss.

If you have something to help your subordinates carry it, if you have money, you can bring your subordinates to make money together.

The people present did not say anything, but they were very curious about Zhao Chuanxin in their hearts.

But only Hamilton Fish asked: "Oh? When Zhao Chuanxin was painting, what kind of expression and mood did he have?"

In order to make the painting continue to appreciate in value, Thomas W. Lawson cut off the beginning and the end and said: "The boss was waiting for someone's phone call. It looked like he was bored, but I could feel his inner expectation. It was a It's a very complicated mood. He just drew it with his chin resting on one hand and the other hand."

Thomas W. Lawson understood people's hearts very well. He continued, "After the phone call, the boss asked me to throw the painting into the trash can, but I thought the painting was very good, so I took it here for exhibition."

In fact, if you want to visit the exhibition, you only need to pay the entrance fee.But it is not easy to bring the painting to the exhibition of the American Academy of Arts.

At that time, Thomas W. Lawson also used the name of Zhao Chuanxin to bluff people, and finally brought it in.

As for throwing the trash can, there are many interpretations. One is that Zhao Chuanxin was disappointed after making the phone call, so he threw it away.

The other is that Zhao Chuanxin did not take his paintings seriously at all.

But in any case, this is a rare "rescued" work, which establishes its unique attributes.

Hamilton Fish cheered up: "Sure enough, it is exactly what I thought. Fortunately, you picked it up. I think, after the phone call, Mr. Zhao's original mood disappeared, and it would be very difficult to make the same style again." .”

Many wealthy people present, including Rockefeller and Morgan's family, looked thoughtful.

Thomas W. Lawson was delighted.

Not surprisingly, he was about to make a fortune.

For some important art exhibitions, many rich people who are not convenient to come to the scene, or invisible rich people, and even the royal families of various European countries will send their agents to watch.

Do it if it fits.

Naturally, the Dutch royal family also has surrogates.

As soon as the exhibition was over, the agent in the Netherlands telegraphed what happened today to the other side of the ocean.

Wilhelmina has just finished her balance practice.

Her figure was better than before, and her skin was still fair, but with a healthy flush.

She froze when she received the news.

Did Zhao Chuanxin draw it while waiting for the phone call?
With Zhao Chuanxin's temperament, he was willing to wait for the phone call, so he thought it was the time he was waiting for himself?
There was joy on her face.

He hurriedly asked someone to prepare a telegram and sent it to the address of Ethan Manor.

However, it was Freddie Pavitt who telegraphed back.

Freddie Pavitt replied: Ms. Wilhelmina, do you have any business with your lord?
He didn't know the relationship between Zhao Chuanxin and Wilhelmina, but he was shocked that Zhao Chuanxin knew the Queen of the Netherlands.

How can you know someone who is so far away from each other?

Wilhelmina heard Zhao Chuanxin mention his housekeeper, he is a trustworthy person.

She said: Are you Mr. Pavitt?I have something important to tell him.Another thing to ask him.

Freddy Pavitt didn't want to casually tell others that Zhao Chuanxin had left the United States.

So he replied ambiguously: Master is not here now, if you have anything to tell me, I will pass it on to him.

Wilhelmina thought about it carefully.

Zhao Chuanxin, that bastard, if he didn't explain something important, he probably wouldn't think of chatting with him by telegram.

But she also couldn't speak out.

He also said ambiguously: I have a baby.

There is no subject.

It seems to have no beginning and no end.

In this way, if the telegram is intercepted, it will not be clear what she wants to express.

Freddie Pavitt really didn't understand.

If you don't know the relationship between them, it's hard to think about this aspect.

Freddy Pavitt pretended to understand, and replied: What about the other thing?
Wilhelmina briefly described the art exhibition, and then said: I want to buy that painting, it is very meaningful to me.

Freddy Pavit replied: If it was painted by the master and you are a friend of the master, I don't suggest you pay for it.

Wilhelmina: Why?
Freddie Pavitt: From what I know of the master, he must think it's a waste of money, not worth it, and just paint another one.

Wilhelmina chuckled.

That was indeed Zhao Chuanxin.

It seemed that the butler knew him well.

With unforgettable thoughts on her face, she pursed her lips and replied: You are right, so forget it, but don't forget to tell him about that matter.

Through conversations, Freddy Pavit probably learned that Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands had a close relationship with the master.

That being the case, there is no need to hide it.

He replied: Sorry, Your Majesty, I want to tell you the truth, sir, he has already sailed home.

Wilhelmina: ...

……

The man Wilhelmina had been thinking about day and night was sleeping soundly with the plump Claris in his arms.

Just woke up.

Hands are restless.

Then Claris woke up too.

She struggled away, sat up straight, with sleepy eyes: "What time is it?"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't sleep during the day for a long time, and he slept very comfortably.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Ah, it's so late, I should go."

Said, stood up and stretched.

But it seems a bit inappropriate to just leave like this, so Zhao Chuanxin added: "By the way, today I deliberately told those soldiers that I was only here to buy things, so they shouldn't trouble you, right?"

Clarice said carelessly: "It's okay, it's not a big deal."

"..."

Unrestrained and nervous, is it only Claris who is like this, or are all women in Panama like this?
Seeing her like this, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Wait." Claris blinked and said, "Take me to Hawaii."

Zhao Chuanxin shrugged: "That can't be done, I'm going by water."

"I have money myself. I can buy the ticket myself, or I can buy it for you. It's not bad for that little franc."

"..." is really generous.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I took the real water route."

Claris was angry: "I'm just bringing you clothes for nothing, right? I took you out of danger for nothing, right?"

I'm going to wait for you... dig a hole and wait for me here?

Zhao Chuanxin was speechless: "Ni'er, are you a tiger? We just met today and met twice, so you're not afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

Claris said categorically: "I have never seen a single bad person among the Chinese workers. You are the worst Chinese worker I have ever seen, and you still touch me?"

At this time, the Chinese workers working abroad, the first priority is not to die, the second is to fill their stomachs, and as for getting respect, it will be ranked seven or eight.

In this case, it is natural to play tricks, but if you want to talk about deviating your mind, you really don't have the energy.

So the Chinese that Claris met were all good people, which may be true.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while: "I can't take people with me by water. But we can join hands to make a fortune. If we have money, the world is big, and we can go anywhere."

Claris said: "Without earning that money, my savings is enough for me to go anywhere. You and I will take the boat to Hawaii."

Zhao Chuanxin was puzzled: "Why do you have to go with me?"

"You think I don't know?" Claris took out a few newspapers from the bottom of the oil-paper bag and patted them in Zhao Chuanxin's arms.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at it, and there were reports about him in every newspaper, including the time when he and Da Luo reached an agreement to leave the United States.

Zhao Chuanxin actually left early because he was afraid that someone would plot against him.

But about the right time.

Moreover, although there is no photo of him in the newspaper, there are descriptions about him, height, appearance and so on.

Claris folded his arms and said, "As soon as you came, there was chaos on the canal, even the Colombian warship sank, so many soldiers with live ammunition died, and there were searchers everywhere.

In the store, you fight several Kongwu powerful soldiers without any power to fight back.

You are still Chinese.

I dare say that you are Zhao Chuanxin! "

"Okay, okay, okay, it's all right, isn't it?" The old and cunning Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "You silly bitch is just pretending to be with me."

"Who is stupid? I didn't say I was stupid."

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't laugh or cry.

As the old man said, open your mouth for three points.

This girl looks silly, but she's actually very smart. No matter if it's okay or not, she opened her mouth to ask first.The courtesies in the past are all for the present "seeing with a poor dagger".

The so-called Chinese laborers are all good people is just an excuse.

Let's see if Zhao Chuanxin can keep her safe.

Zhao Chuanxin said bluntly: "I've taken a fancy to the money from Uertas, you and I conspired to make this vote and we'll leave."

"Didn't you make $5000 million?"

"No more, it's all over."

"Ah? You are such a prodigal."

Zhao Chuanxin sighed: "That's what it means, a blind man can't save gas money if he doesn't light the lamp."

Claris patted his chest: "Don't worry, I will cover your boat fare, and I will take care of your food and food. I will also satisfy you with what you want to do at night. Let's go straight away."

Zhao Chuanxin said angrily: "Now I have to think about putting less oil in a potato stew, but you keep nagging me about how well done the steak is. I'm short of money, not food and shelter, and I'm not short of someone to search for at night." Woman, understand?"

"No shortage, why did you touch and search just now?"

"After all, I'm not a fake fan, isn't that normal?" Seeing her leaving in such a hurry, Zhao Chuanxin wondered: "If you want me to say, that Uertas has status and money, there is nothing wrong with him, right? "

"In America, the richer and more powerful the faster the people die."

What he said made sense, but Zhao Chuanxin couldn't refute it.
