Chapter 947 The truth?

Tom came very quickly. After all, he was not far away, so he came over as soon as he received the call. Even, there was another client at the time, and he immediately sent the other party away.The reason for this is very simple, that is, for him, people like Benjamin cannot be offended, because whether the things he sells is genuine or not often depends on people like them for identification.

Do you think those rich people believe in people like Benjamin?
So if I offend them, they only need to say that something is false, and I will have a headache for a long time.

However, what he didn't expect at all was that when he arrived, he saw not only Benjamin calling himself, but also Ruby and James.

Tom, who had been in the circle for countless years, realized that today's matter was a little weird almost immediately.

Whether it's Benjamin, James or Ruby, each of them is a master in the circle. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to appear together. They belong to the kind where the king does not see the king. How many grievances and grievances there are between them, but it is a kind of tacit understanding.

"Mr. Benjamin, hello!"

Although he was very puzzled, when he saw Benjamin, Tom immediately greeted him. Of course, he also greeted Ruby and James. They were all people in the circle, although they couldn't be said to be very familiar with them. But after all, they met face to face.

"Oh, old Tom, come and sit down."

Benjamin pointed to the opposite side of himself, and then continued: "Today, the three of us just got together while drinking and asked you to come and sit together. Of course, there is one thing I would like to ask you for advice."

Tom sat down. He knew that although he had a certain reputation in the circle, he must still be able to sit on an equal footing with people like Benjamin and the others, so he couldn't take the first half of Benjamin's sentence to heart at all. He knew the point It's just the second half of the sentence, I have something to ask myself, of course, asking for advice is just a nice way of saying it, but it's just asking yourself.

"Oh, Mr. Benjamin, what's the matter? Just say it directly, there is no need to be polite between us."

Of course, Tom hoped to have a good relationship with people like Benjamin, so he spoke very straightforwardly and directly.

Benjamin was naturally very clear about Tom's thoughts, so he was really blunt, nodded, and said, "That's right, did you sell an oil painting recently?"

As soon as Tom heard this, he immediately thought of the oil painting that he sold to Fang Ming. Although the origin of that oil painting was not correct, such a thing was an open secret in the circle, especially for Benjamin. For such people, they are even clearer, especially they have actually bought something from themselves directly or indirectly, so they didn't hide it from them, and immediately nodded and said: " Yes, that's right, it is indeed an oil painting, 10 yuan, no matter how expensive it is, it can be regarded as a small profit..."

When Tom said this, he suddenly froze for a moment, and he immediately thought of a problem, and it was a very important one, that is, if what he sold was just a very ordinary oil painting, it would definitely not cause Benjamin and the others to act like this. What everyone paid attention to, now not only Benjamin is here, but Ruby and James are also here, what does this mean?
This only shows that that oil painting is not an ordinary oil painting!

My heart jumped up suddenly, and it jumped faster and faster, until it was like a drum beating hard in the end.

This... this..."

Tom licked his already dry lips, and said, "This...does that oil painting...is a good thing?"

For people like Tom and Benjamin, the so-called good things must of course cost tens of millions or more.

If this is the case, then Tom wants to commit suicide. You must know that the oil painting sold for 10 dollars, and he was very proud of it.

"Ah."

Benjamin shook his head and said, "No, we haven't seen the oil painting, so we naturally have no way of judging what kind of thing it is."

"call!"

Hearing what Benjamin said, Tom couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he was a little too excited before, but now he felt dizzy for a while.

"It's not that that one oil painting is good, it's not that that one oil painting is good."

"Old Tom, although it's not that oil painting, what we're talking about is actually related to that oil painting, that is, did the person who bought that oil painting from you buy other oil paintings from you? thing?"

Ruby couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately interrupted to ask.

"Yes, that's all we want to know."

James also nodded. They had never seen that oil painting before, so it was nothing special. What they really cared about was the sketch.

"Ah? It's nothing. I just sold an oil painting in the past few days. You know the middleman, that is Lu Yao, the Lu Yao who worked in the auction company before, the one with the big beauty, heh, in fact, if She didn't bring people here, and I won't take things out, after all, I'm in this line of work, so you have to be careful, right?"

Tom was confused by what Benjamin and Ruby were saying, and Monk Erzhang couldn't figure it out.

Benjamin and the others glanced at each other, and when they heard Tom say that the person who bought the oil painting appeared with Lu Yao, they immediately knew that it was very likely that the sketch flowed from Tom's hands.

After thinking about it, Benjamin took his mobile phone, opened the photo of the sketch that Lu Yao sent to him before, put it in front of Tom, and said, "Have you seen this sketch?"

Tom looked puzzled, but he immediately looked down at the photo that Benjamin had opened.

"This... seems a little familiar... ah... this sketch, this sketch, seems to be mine, but this sketch is not a good thing, there is no one's signature on it..."

Looking at the photo of the sketch in front of him, Tom felt a little familiar, but he didn't take it too seriously, because although the sketch in front of him was pretty good, no one's signature was left on it. So it's not sure who made it, so what's the use even if it's good?
It can't be sold for much money at all.

"You just need to make sure that this sketch was bought by the person who went to your place with Lu Yao."

Benjamin didn't answer Tom's words, but asked instead.

"Snapped!"

Tom patted himself on the forehead, and then said, "I remembered. This sketch did come out of me, but I didn't sell it. At that time, the person brought by Lu Yao bought it from me. I bought an oil painting, that is, the one that cost $10 just now. Before leaving, he wanted to find something to wrap the oil painting, so he just took a sketch from me. Drawing paper, because I also received the stack of drawing paper from someone else. After appraising it, I found it was not a good thing. I was thinking about throwing it away, so I asked that person to take a piece of paper without thinking too much. ……ah!"

Tom's body couldn't help shaking, and he suddenly understood: Benjamin was looking for himself in the world, or the top experts in their three circles appeared here, so it was for this sketch!

If this is the case, the only possibility is that the sketch is a good thing, and it is a real good thing, or it is impossible for three people like Benjamin, Ruby and James, who are all masters in the circle, to Come here together!
"You... you... are all here for this sketch?"

Ruby nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, that's it, we're here for that sketch."

"Ah?! Isn't it? That sketch...is a very good thing?"

Tom felt something was wrong, but he asked back with a glimmer of hope.

"Well, yes, we haven't seen that sketch yet, but looking at this photo, it's very possible."

Benjamin's words were like a huge hammer, hitting Tom's body so hard that he almost couldn't stand still!
Before seeing the real thing, I already thought it was a good thing, and three people who belonged to the first-class experts in the appraisal circle, unexpectedly came together?
And it seems that the purpose of their coming here is not simply to appraise, but to have a plan, otherwise they would not be so concerned, they just need to wait for the appraisal.

not real!

This is absolutely not true!
Tom screamed in his heart, if this was true, wouldn't he be...

Thinking of this, Tom realized that he didn't want to think about it any more, because if this was the case, then he would have gone to grandma's house this time!
If you miss it, it is very likely to be an earth-shattering sketch!

"This... this... But there is no signature on this sketch, so it is impossible to determine which person drew it, so there is no way to determine the value..."

Benjamin shook his head, interrupted Tom, and said: "Old Tom, you are also an old man in this circle, how could you make such a mistake? Although no one's signature was left on this sketch, but , this does not mean that there is no way to determine who it is, we actually have many ways to identify it, don't you think? If... I mean if, once the sketch is real, this It’s really punching you! And it’s a very big one!”
