The Book of Appreciation

Eskenac has collected a lot of cultural relics, but most of them are Chinese ancient porcelains, firstly because he likes them, and secondly because they are related to the well-known sources of these ancient porcelains. .

However, as a European, like Wu Di, he cherishes cultural relics of continental Europe more than Chinese ancient porcelain.If he could exchange the ancient porcelain in his hand for this oil painting, let alone Guiguzi's big blue and white pot, he would be willing to buy even a few more pieces of the same rare porcelain.However, since it is a business, it cannot be calculated like this.

"Mr. Wu Di, I have never doubted your vision. As far as this work is concerned, it is indeed the authentic work of Master Van Gogh. However, because of well-known reasons, I still have doubts about whether this oil painting can be traded publicly. Some doubts. You have to know that no matter how precious and rare a collection is, if it cannot be auctioned publicly, its value will be greatly reduced. Therefore, my quotation for it may be quite different from your expectations... "

After receiving the hint that Evans Carter was authentic, Eskenac frowned, and expressed his thoughts carefully and carefully.

"Really? So it's not too late for me to come. Since Mr. Eskenacz's quotation is likely to be far from Mr. Wu Di's expectation, why not listen to me again?"

The door of the hotel room opened suddenly, and Augustus strode in with a smile. Yan Ju, who was following behind him, gave Wu Di a wink, how about it?This is how business should be done, now you just sit back and watch the tigers fight!

Eskenac was deeply surprised when he saw Augustus. He glanced at Wu Di in surprise, and walked towards this respected senior.

"My lord, what brings you here?"

"What wind? Baby wind! If it weren't for my old man's good ears, a masterpiece of Master Van Gogh would have slipped away from my nose! Hehe, you don't have to stare at him, my driver is accompanying them I went to buy this painting, do you think I can not know?"

Eskenac frowned in confusion, did your driver accompany them to buy it?Now you want to rob me again?What exactly is going on?

Seeing Eskenac's confused expression, Augustus smiled wryly:

"Mr. Wu Di and Mr. Yan Ju are guests at my castle at my invitation. Because I have other things to do, I asked Oviedo to accompany them around London first. I didn't expect them to arrive at Old Baker. That fat man’s shop bought this painting, tell me, am I doing it on my own?”

Only then did Eskenac know the reason, and he couldn't help laughing wryly, it's okay for you to suffer on your own, but it's really inhumane for you to come and grab me!

Augustus changed his tone, with a trace of undisguised pride,

"Mr. Eskenac, I just got a complete manuscript of Shakespeare, and I am planning to open a salon in the castle in half a month. I invite friends to get together and enjoy Shakespeare's masterpiece by the way. Today is just right If I meet you here, I will let you know first, and I will arrange for someone to send you an invitation at a specific time."

Shakespeare's manuscripts?Or the full one?Eskenac was overwhelmed by the news. Does that old gentleman have a complete manuscript?He suddenly remembered another sentence of Augustus, and turned his head to look at Wu Di with difficulty. Is this true?

Wu Di nodded slightly to him, and then saw Eskenacz's eyes turned red, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, it seems that these well-known collectors and him are all a problem, and they can't see good things!

Eskenazi calmed down his excited mood, and stared at Wu Di again, full of doubts and envy in his heart.What is the luck of this seemingly ordinary boy, who not only picked up many Chinese treasures, but also got so many peerless treasures that should and must belong to them in Europe?

However, that manuscript fell into the hands of Augustus, a Shakespeare fan, and he will never have any interaction with him again. masterpiece.

"My lord, regarding this oil painting of Master Van Gogh, I think it was Mr. Wu who first sent me the invitation. According to the rules, is it true that you can intervene only after the two of us have not reached an agreement?"

It was about the baby, and he couldn't care less about Augustus' status anymore. He made up his mind that no matter what price he paid, he would get the painting.You know, although he is well-known in the international collection circle, he was labeled as an expert in Chinese ancient porcelain collection by others because of his lack of collection of European antiques.He doesn't own any of Van Gogh's works, and in the past ten years, none of them have appeared in the auction market. It is conceivable that even if there will be in the future, the competition will definitely be quite fierce!But this time he only needs to face Augustus, and the opponent has just made a deal with Wu Di, so a lot of the high-quality goods in his hand must have been exchanged.If such an opportunity cannot be grasped, it is really time for him to jump into the Thames.

"Mr. Wu Di, after receiving the call from Mr. Yan Ju, I prepared a list. This is the collection I am going to exchange for this "Poppy Flower". You can take a look first."

Without hesitation, Eskenac handed Wu Di a list.This list was originally prepared by him for "Death Flower", and it was his bottom line.But the situation is different now, the original prepared copies are no longer suitable to appear here again.However, even if it is this, he is not too sure, so, which ancient porcelain should be prepared as a backup?

Wu Di took the list, and the first thing he saw was the Guiguzi Downhill Yuan blue and white pot, and he couldn't help being in a trance for a while.A few days ago, Huaxia, who didn't even have a big pot with the blue and white character story pattern in Yuan Dynasty, is going to usher in the return of the second baby so soon?

The Ru Kiln lotus-style warming bowl in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yongle blue and white flat pot with figures in the Ming Dynasty, the ruby-red Guanyin Zun in the Kangxi period in the Qing Dynasty, the blue and white vase with double dragons playing with pearls in the Yongzheng period in the Qing Dynasty, and the Jiaqing pot in the Qing Dynasty. Just looking at him dazzled and dazzled!

"In addition to these precious porcelains on the list, I can also present Mr. Wu Di with five hundred pieces of ordinary folk kiln ancient porcelains. Although most of them are made in the late Qing Dynasty, I don't think there is anyone in China who can Have so many fine ancient porcelains?"

When Augustus heard this, he laughed and said:

"As far as I know, there will be at least one, and the amount he has is several times more than what you traded this time!"

Eskenac raised his eyebrows in disbelief,

"Oh? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Wu Di coughed twice, smiled bitterly and said:

"Mr. Augustus, I'm really sorry. I'll talk to you later, and I will definitely find a way to come up with a plan that satisfies both of you, okay?"

Eskenac turned his attention to Wu Di, is this the guy Augustus was talking about?Could it be that he was talking about the Shakespeare manuscript deal?

Seeing the smile on Wu Di's face, he gasped.There are so many Huaxia treasures in Augustus, and they have a complete range of styles, and Wu Di will definitely not let go of the fine ones.But in addition to these high-quality goods, he actually got thousands of ordinary porcelains, so how precious is the manuscript that this smiling old guy with a malicious face got?

"So, Lord Baron, you traded thousands of pieces of ancient porcelain to Mr. Wu Di?"

Augustus just wanted to run on Eskenacz on purpose, so that he would retreat. Hearing this, he shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's not a transaction, but a gift, a real gift! I made this decision after the transaction was completed, because Mr. Wu will soon open a private museum, so, as his year-end friend, I presented him with [-] treasures Ancient Porcelain! Children, this time, I didn't prepare a list, but I can allow you to randomly pick fifty items from the items I crossed off from the list last time!"

Seeing Wu Di's eyes light up, Eskenacz was in a bad mood. After a little calculation, he said:

"Mr. Wu Di, I will add to this list a double-eared censer from Geyao in the Northern Song Dynasty, a couplet by Zheng Banqiao and the matching bamboo pictures! In addition, I will give away [-] more pieces of ancient porcelain as gifts for Mr. Wu Di's museum. Opening ceremony!"

Fifty pieces of boutique antiques!Yuan Qinghua, Ru Kiln, Ge Kiln, and Zheng Banqiao!I want them all!

Wu Di was very satisfied when he saw Eskenazi's list, but he didn't expect that Augustus would offer such a condition, and he didn't expect Eskenazi to buy another Ge kiln. A rare Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting, and five hundred pieces of ancient porcelain remarked!Oh my God, you two tigers are fighting, the fight is really too tempting, isn't it?

Yan Ju looked at Wu Di enviously, but there was no trace of jealousy in his eyes.As the leader of the new generation of appraisers, he was quite dissatisfied with Wu Di's sudden birth and his status was quickly endangered, but this trip to Europe made him completely let go of his mentality.No matter from which point of view, he and Wu Di seem to be two people in different worlds. This kid is born for these treasures. He lives in the same era as him. It is the misfortune of appraisers like himself, but Great luck for the Chinese collectors!The only thing they can and should do is to make way for him and help him as much as possible to see what miracles he can create!

It's just that this guy's museum has not been seen yet, and there are one thousand more ancient porcelains. Is this shit still letting people live?

Seeing that Wu Di wanted to talk, he gently tugged at the corner of his clothes. The best reaction at this time was to keep silent and let the two of them fight, maybe they could squeeze out ten or eight more precious antiques .In other words, what their ancestors robbed back then was really cool. What is the little price they have to pay now compared to back then? ! (To be continued.)
