The Book of Appreciation

Wu Di glanced at the burly boss, turned his head and asked softly:

"Uncle Wen, where are the things?"

Wen Yaru pointed at the wall of the gallery behind him, and whispered:

"That one should be one of Monet's "Blue Water Lilies" series..."

Monet?Monet, who is known as one of the most important painters in France, the representative and one of the founders of Impressionism?His "Blue Water Lily" series is only worth more than 500 million US dollars?

Wu Di's eyes narrowed. If this painting is authentic, then its current price should be 2000 million, no matter what?He took another look at the boss who seemed to have a serious face. This guy, no matter how you look at it, he is an evil villain. He would deal with an authentic Monet work at such a low price?Moreover, is it such an iconic work?

"200 million! I will offer 200 million! Boy, congratulations, you have successfully angered me, then, let me represent the Tsuruta family to bid with you."

A middle-aged man in a formal suit with a rigid face came out of the crowd on the opposite side. As soon as he said a word, the skinny old man who spoke rudely just now and those young people couldn't help but shuddered and bowed respectfully. After giving a salute, he retreated behind him without saying a word.

Wu Di didn't speak, he walked slowly to the wall of the gallery, stared at the "Blue Lotus" for a while, turned around and said with a smile:

"The Tsuruta family? Hehe, I've never heard of it. Besides, 200 million yuan doesn't seem like a very competitive price, does it?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man narrowed slowly, like a black panther meeting its prey, fixedly staring at Wu Di, bursting out with a palpitating light,

"So, this time you've heard of it."

Wu Di shrugged needlessly and said:

"Well, although I came late, I have figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It stands to reason that both parties saw a work at the same time, and it is fair to decide the ownership through bidding. However, this bidding is really fair Is it? I think, if we keep fighting like this, the unscrupulous Mr. Boss should finally take advantage, right? Mr. Tsuruta, I don’t want to be fooled by others, and I think you don’t want to let people hide and steal like this. Have fun?"

Tsuruta frowned,

"So, are you ready to give up? Hehe, Chinese people are hypocrites. They obviously have no strength, but they still want to save face..."

"Ugh……"

Wu Di let out a long sigh, some people are really... really self-righteous, which makes people speechless!This kind of person, should he be said to be stupid?Or arrogant?

"Mr. Tsuruta, who is not hypocritical, as a gentleman, don't you even have the patience to listen to others? I said, I don't want to let others take advantage, but I didn't say that I would give up this A painting."

Tsuruta let out a pair of "hehe" expressionlessly,

"Don't give up, and you can't offer a higher price, this respected gentleman, I really don't know what you want to say, but whatever you say is fine, please hurry up, you know, my Time is precious."

Wu Di nodded,

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. If you want this painting, you should be planning to participate in the antique gambling competition, right? If that's the case, why don't we use gambling to determine the ownership of this painting? My opinion Yes, at the current price, it doesn’t matter whoever pays to buy it, and then, how about we have a game? Doing this, no matter what the final result is, at least it won’t be cheaper for others.”

The corner of Tsuruta's mouth grinned. Hearing Wu Di's proposal, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Just play?You actually want to play with the Tsuruta family, the famous gaming family in the Japanese Empire?Oh, my God, what a young man who knows nothing!Well, since you work so hard to help the Tsuruta family earn money, I will give you a chance.Poor young man, it is estimated that after this time, you will really remember our Tsuruta family!

He turned around and glanced at the people behind him who showed strange smiles, and said in a deep voice:

"Very good, this proposal is very good, I have no objection. Ichiro, go and buy this painting, and then, you and this gentleman have a good time."

A young man with a proud face came out of the crowd, he glanced at Wu Di out of the corner of his eye, then walked into the gallery with a sneer,

"Boss, please examine this check. By the way, can you do me a favor?"

The boss accepted the check with a smile, picked up the phone at the counter,

"Please tell me, sir, that it has been an honor to be at your service."

The young man called Ichiro by Tsuruta turned around and glanced at Wu Di who was still standing in front of the store, and said loudly:

"I would like to ask the boss to check this gentleman's check by the way. You know, the reputation of people from certain countries seems not to be so reassuring..."

The boss laughed out loud. That's right, it was because of this young man that his paintings only sold for 200 million. However, it seemed that it was also because of this young man that his paintings only sold for 200 million. So, what is it? Should I thank him or blame him? This is really a difficult problem!

Wu Di smiled and shook his head. Since you are going to give me money later, let me let you be proud for a while!He walked into the store, found a chair and sat down calmly, wrote a check for 200 million, handed it over, and read it casually.

Tsuruta Ichiro frowned slightly, it seems that this guy is quite rich?Then do you want to find a way to win more later?

"Okay, both checks are fine, so, that painting?"

Tsuruta Ichiro pulled up a chair, and sat across from Wu Di, smiling proudly,

"It's wrapped and brought here. This gentleman, how do you want to play?"

Wu Di glanced at Fatty Qian who was beside him with a tense face, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"The conditions here are simple, and it is not suitable for too complicated playing methods. How about this, take out a poker, and the two of us will each draw a card. The big card wins. The bet is this check and that painting. Win or lose, how?"

The corner of Tsuruta Ichiro's mouth twitched slightly, a contemptuous smile flashed across,

"No problem at all, boss, do you have cards here?"

The boss smiled and shook his head,

"I don't have any here, but the old Kahn next door is a gambler. How about I borrow a pair for you two?"

"No, we have it here!"

At this time, there was a shout from outside the door, and several young people with colorfully dyed hair came in, one of them patted the boss on the shoulder with a smile,

"Uncle Schneider, big business?"

The boss's face darkened.

"You bastards, why are you here again?"

The young man glanced at him in surprise, turned his head and exaggeratedly said to the young people behind him:

"You see, dear Uncle Schneider is angry, he seems to have forgotten that this painting he came from..."

"Okay, okay, take out the cards if you have any, the time of these two guests is very precious!"

Schneider interrupted the young man roughly.

"No, no, we can't participate in such a big game, but you can't let your poor nephew Neuer provide a deck of cards for nothing, right? You know..."

Schneider muttered a curse, took out a hundred euros and handed it over, the young man whistled frivolously, took the money and kissed affectionately on his lips,

"Klaus, give them the cards!"

Immediately, he bent down, smiled and said to Wu Di and Tsuruta Ichiro:

"Dear gentlemen, I have a small proposal, I don't know you two..."

Wu Di kept his face sullen and did not speak. Judging from what this guy said just now, it seems that Schneider received this painting from them, and judging by their actions, it should not be a good thing. Then, the origin of this painting ...

Tsuruta Ichiro obviously didn't expect to encounter such a superb product, he frowned, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

"Oh, I think so. In order to ensure the fairness and justice of the game, the two of them should not let their own people shuffle the cards, right? Then, the most honest Neuer will serve the two of you! He He is very good at playing cards, and his skill in shuffling cards is superb, and the two of you only need to pay a small tip..."

The middle-aged man who had been standing behind Tsuruta Ichiro took out a [-]-yuan Euro and threw it on the table with disgust on his face, and said impatiently:

"let's start."

Neuer didn't shuffle the cards, but looked at Wu Di with a smile on his face. Wu Di shook his head helplessly, took out one hundred euros, and threw them on the table.

Neuer smiled, quickly opened the card box with both hands, shuffled the poker several times in a blink of an eye, then put the cards on the table with a smile, picked up the two euros,

"Look, this is Neuer's labor income, Uncle Schneider, please remember to inform us of such good things in the future."

Tsuruta Ichiro glanced at Wu Di and said:

"So, how do we decide who goes first?"

Wu Di was about to speak when Sparrow suddenly said:

"One deck is not enough, it is better to add another deck."

Add another pair?Wu Di was startled, and he would feel overwhelmed in an instant, that's right, careless, if it was just a deck of cards and he asked Ichiro Tsuruta to draw first, in case he was lucky and got the biggest ace of spades, Isn't he doomed?

He let out a sigh of relief, and looked towards Neuer. Neuer whistled, and took out another deck of poker like a conjurer, tossing them up and down in his hand.Schneider smiled wryly, and handed over another hundred-dollar bill,

"Neuer, I hope you won't come to my store again..."

Neuer was showing off his fancy card shuffling skills while laughing, but he didn't speak abnormally.

"Well, it doesn't seem to matter who shoots first this time, but what if we tie?"

Tsuruta Ichiro hovered over the cards with his hand, leaned forward, and asked with a half-smile.

"It's very simple, keep drawing until the winner is determined!" (To be continued.)
