Chapter 759 The Shock of Father and Daughter
After a while, Wu Ke came back to his senses and asked, "Ah Chen, that Vincent actually has so many collections of national treasures, isn't he a liar?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Even if he lied to me, it doesn't make any sense. He may not say it's genuine, so I'll believe what he said, right? Besides, we've already negotiated, and the place of the transaction will be in China. When the time comes I will definitely ask the master to come over to check, so the possibility of him getting a fake is not high."

"That's true!" Wu Ke heard the words and immediately realized that Chu Chen's appraisal ability, even Old Liu, was very relieved. If the other party brought out a fake product, Chu Chen's sharp eyes would see it immediately. Prototype.And since the location of the transaction is in the country, the possibility of the other party deliberately taking fakes is even smaller.

Wu Ke murmured: "In other words, this person probably really has so many collections of national treasures! It's at least a billion or so, right?"

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It must be more than a billion yuan. If all these collections are real, at the current market price, I estimate that it should be nearly three billion RMB."

"Thirty million RMB, that's not 2.5 million pounds!" Hearing the price given by Chu Chen, not only Wu Ke, but also Randy and his daughter were shocked.

After a while, Mina came back to her senses, and asked curiously: "Chu, let me ask you a question, what kind of deal do you have with the person who sent the fax? Do you want to buy these collections?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "It's indeed a transaction, but it's not that I want to buy these collections, but that he wants to exchange part of these collections with one of my paintings."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Mina also seemed calmer. Just now, she thought that Chu Chen would spend nearly 2.5 million pounds to buy these antiques, which was really amazing to her.

"Achen, among these things, how many are you going to choose?" Wu Ke asked.

"The exact amount is not certain, but it must be at least two-thirds." Chu Chen replied.

"and many more!"

After hearing what Chu Chen said, Mina became a little confused, and asked, "Chu, you seemed to say that you wanted to exchange a painting with these collections, didn't you?"

Seeing Chu Chen nodding, she immediately showed an inconceivable expression: "Chu, I heard you right, what you are talking about is really a painting?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It is indeed a painting."

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't seem to be joking, the father and daughter were immediately shocked, and Randy exclaimed a little bit tongue-tied:
"My God! What kind of painting is that? It's so valuable. Could it be Picasso's? No, even Picasso's paintings have never had such a high transaction record!"

"That's right! Chu, what kind of painting is that in your hand?" Mina also asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"It's "The School of Athens" by Raphael." Wu Ke replied with some pride. Chu Chen obtained such a world-class famous painting with his ability, and she felt that she really had no reason not to be proud.

"Ellie, are you right? Are you talking about Raphael's mural?" Randy and Mina asked in unison.

Wu Ke replied with certainty: "It's that work, but Ah Chen's is an oil painting, the scene and characters have not changed, it was just reduced in size by Raphael and painted on canvas."

"How is this possible?!" At this moment, the father and daughter were both stunned. It was hard for them to believe that Chu Chen's painting could be authentic.

Chu Chen and Wu Ke could also understand their reaction. After all, this matter was really incredible. Basically, everyone who heard or saw that painting thought that it was fake.

"It's not impossible! Besides, if the painting is a fake, it's impossible for the owner on this list to come here this afternoon to discuss the specific details with Ah Chen!" Wu Ke said with a smile.

Hearing this, the father and daughter also realized that since it was a transaction involving so much money, it was definitely impossible for the other party to come to discuss with Chu Chen without confirming the authenticity of the things.But thinking that there is actually an identical oil painting of that world masterpiece, the father and daughter were still shocked and didn't know what to say.

After slowly digesting the shocking news, Mina said, "Chu, I think you should think carefully about exchanging such a famous work by Raphael for these porcelains!"

Randy nodded again and again. According to them, such a painting is a rare treasure. If they got it, they would never have the idea of ​​transferring it. They will definitely cherish it as a family heirloom. of.

In Chu Chen’s eyes, the thoughts of Randy’s father and daughter are just the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. He admits that Raphael’s works are indeed outstanding, and if he can obtain Vincent’s collections in another way, then he will not Will transfer this work.

But it is a pity that there is no other way now, and to Chu Chen's heart, the significance of these collections on the fax must be higher than that of Raphael's works, since you can't have both , then he can only choose the one that he feels has a higher status in his heart.

Chu Chen said: "Mr. Randy, if I can change the method, I also want to keep the painting, but I am a Chinese first, these porcelains are undoubtedly more meaningful to me than that painting , and some of these porcelains were snatched from our country at the beginning of the last century, and now I have the opportunity, I will definitely take them home!"

Randy's father and daughter also know that period of history, and their country played a disgraceful role in it. Although their country was the winner, they can feel Chu Chen's mood and understand Chu Chen's feelings. The meaning of Chen's words.

Randy thought for a while and said, "Chu, since this is the case, as a friend, I think I should remind you that for us Westerners, Raphael's works, especially such world-famous paintings, are in our minds. The status in the middle is very high."

"Therefore, I think you can ask for a higher price during the transaction. If the other party disagrees, you can find another buyer, or simply collect it yourself for a period of time. I believe that with the current art In terms of the increase in works, the price of your painting will definitely rise like a rocket in the future!"

Mina also agreed with her father very much: "Yes! In the language of your country, you can open your mouth like a lion, otherwise you will definitely suffer."

"Thank you for your reminders. At that time, I will definitely consider the gains and losses carefully." Chu Chen smiled and expressed his gratitude to the father and daughter. Of course, when he saw this list, he was already ready to become Zhou Paipi's plan.

Next, everyone chatted for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

The next day, just after breakfast, Josie, Selina and Kelly came to meet.Afterwards, after the pre-appointed vehicle arrived, everyone said goodbye to Randy and Randy's mother, and got in the car and set off for Kelly's house.

Kelly's house is located in a villa area in the south of Birmingham. Because of the good traffic conditions in England, it took them less than an hour and a half to get there for a distance of more than 100 kilometers.

Kelly's villa covers an area of ​​more than 500 square meters. The overall style is European country style. It looks very artistic from a distance, but when the car drives to the gate of the villa, everyone finds that the vegetation in the courtyard looks like it has been around for a long time. There is no trimming, making the villa look a bit depressed.

Perhaps sensing everyone's inner thoughts, Kelly explained with some embarrassment: "My father's business has been in trouble for several months, and the family's funds are basically used to supplement the company's working capital. If there is not much improvement, it may not be long before we have to move."

Kelly's father's business mainly engaged in construction projects. The reason why they were in trouble was because a batch of products they made had serious quality problems, and a series of incidents such as liquidated damages and fines eventually affected the company. operation.

For this kind of thing, although the girls felt sorry for Kelly, they couldn't help them.

As for the capable Chu Chen, he has no interest in Kelly's father's business at all.This is mainly Kelly's father's company. The products produced are relatively untechnical, and the company's research and development capabilities are also very weak.

Such a company, and the company is far away in England, it is obviously impossible for Chu Chen to invest.

After getting out of the car, a group of people followed Kelly into the villa. Everyone looked around as they walked. Although there were many weeds in the yard, they could vaguely see that the scenery when it was neatly trimmed was still very good.

Among the group, except for Chu Chen and Wu Ke, everyone else wanted to own such a villa in the future.Although Qiao Qian had lived in Chu Chen's house for a few days before, and she was very envious of Chu Chen's villa, but compared with this place, she still felt that her wish was undoubtedly easier to realize now.

Of course, the three of them are just thinking about it in their hearts, and they will not be stupid to speak out under the current situation, or let Kelly think what she thinks.

Kelly led everyone into the living room. Kelly's parents, who had already made preparations, immediately extended a warm welcome to everyone and offered them tea and snacks.

Kelly's father is called Warren. He is a somewhat obese man with a beer belly, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and looks like a bald man in his 50s.Perhaps it was because he had worked so hard for his own business during this period, Chu Chen felt that he looked a little haggard.
