MTL - Treasure Hunt America-Chapter 1225 robbery

With the bottom line in mind, Jin Muchen quickly put away the painting, then came out of the toilet, returned to the front of the coffee table, sat on the sofa, picked up the magnifying glass, and pretended to look at it for a while.

Then he put down the magnifying glass in his hand, leaned back on the sofa, stretched out his hand and started to pinch the bridge of his nose, he suddenly stopped moving, and Chris really didn't know what to ask him.

And he pretended to be so sophisticated, Chris was really embarrassed to disturb him, after a few minutes, the guy finally put down his hand, then looked up at Chris and said.

"If I'm not mistaken, this painting should be Zhao Danian's "Autumn Pond" in the Northern Song Dynasty, right?"

And after hearing Jin Muchen's judgment, Chris couldn't help but stretch out his hand and start to slap. He really underestimated the heroes of the world. An expert in the identification of antiques.

To know the name of Zhao Danian, even a Chinese antique appraisal expert, not many people know it, because the era when he was born was really too small.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and after him, he also had a cousin who became the emperor's literary fan.

Although in terms of artistic achievements, he is actually much higher than his relatives who became emperors, but the key is that ordinary people don't know this.

When people mention the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, those guys will definitely think of the tragic Emperor Wenqing, as well as his good Li Shishi, plus the legends such as those Liangshan heroes. As for who Zhao Danian is, I am afraid it is not the literary and art circle. People really don't know.

In addition, it is also because there are so few handed down works of Zhao Danian that even if he is in the history books of the Song Dynasty, there are records about him, and the evaluation of him is also very high, but modern antique appraisers The reason is very simple, because his handed down works are too few.

No one has seen his works, so it is impossible to judge his works.

It can be said that this Zhao Danian is a very famous but relatively uncommon painter. In the current antique circle, there are not many people who know him and his works.

And the guy in front of him can actually see that this painting is the work of Zhao Danian, which shows that he is not a pure gangster, but still has some level.

So Chris can't help but applaud him, but Jesse doesn't know who Zhao Danian is, nor does he know much about the value of his works.

Seeing such a situation at this time, she has only one concept, that is, this painting, after Jin Muchen's appraisal, must be real, but the exact value of it remains to be calculated.

"This Mr. Chen is indeed an expert. I'm sorry. I was abrupt and rude before. I express my sincerest apology to you."

This Chris has to say that he is much stronger than his younger brother Martin. Whether it is true or not, years of gentleman education have allowed him to know how to write the word grace.

At this time, he actually apologized to Jin Muchen, which made Jin Muchen never expect it. Looking at this guy, he doesn't seem to be so annoying anymore. If he hadn't had such a relationship before, this guy would be a friend who can be worth interacting with, but it's a pity That is no longer possible.

"Who is Zhao Danian? Are his paintings valuable?"

Jin Muchen didn't have time to flatter each other with Chris, and at this moment Jesse pulled him aside and asked him in a low voice.

"Zhao Danian was a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty in China, and this painting should be his authentic work. There are not many paintings of his that have been handed down. So far, the recognized treasures seem to be the original ones that were stolen from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. I haven't made any public appearances before, you wait, I remembered, I have seen the introduction of the Freer Art Museum before, in their brochures a few years ago, I really want to see this work, But the painting shown in the brochure at that time was just an old black-and-white photo, and I saw the comment on the painting written on the photo, which was an unnamed painting from the seventeenth century. . . "

Jin Muchen said to Jesse that the Furiel brothers had offended him. Some time ago, one of the brothers teased Candace and was taught a lesson by him, and the other went to his store to buy and sell. The sale was unsuccessful in the end. After that, he actually found that gangster Harry, brought a killer, and went to his house to rob him.

If Capote didn't happen to come to his shop that day, something big would have happened that day, so Jin Muchen hated the Freer brothers to the core.

As a man who has revenge, of course he thought about how to get revenge on the two brothers after the incident. Unfortunately, the two brothers had already fled New York at that time and could not find any trace.

But Jin Muchen thought about the idea that these two brothers came from a famous family anyway, and they could run as a monk, but couldn't run away from the temple.

Especially after knowing that the ancestors of these two brothers were actually a guy who specialized in smuggling antique calligraphy and paintings from China and donating them to the U.S. government to keep their family safe and secure, Jin Muchen wanted to go to their family. The idea of ​​visiting the art gallery left by my ancestors.

So he began to collect information about the collection of this art museum on a large scale through the Internet and the way to purchase the art museum's promotional albums.

After collecting those materials, Jin Muchen realized that this art museum really has a lot of good things in it.

The more he looked at him, the more tempted he became. Originally, he planned to follow the experience of visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston last year and take a good look at this art museum.

But later, considering that this art museum is located in Washington, its geographical location is relatively sensitive, it is the capital of the United States, and this art museum has now been upgraded to the National Museum of the United States. The security measures are incomparable to those of private museums, so he did not act rashly.

I plan to wait and see for a while, or wait until I find a good opportunity before starting.

Unexpectedly, in San Francisco today, he actually came across such a painting. The painting that was once collected by this art gallery, in the promotional picture book of that year, there was an introduction to this painting, but the group of American appraisers They are obviously unreliable, and they have not identified the authenticity of this painting at all, they just believe that this painting is from the seventeenth century, and that it is a painting by an unknown Chinese painter.

And if it was someone else, after reading the promotional album, they might have forgotten the photo of the painting, but who Jin Muchen is, he has an unforgettable brain.

I really didn't think of it before, but after deciding that this painting was the work of Zhao Danian of the Northern Song Dynasty, after thinking of the identity of Chris, many memories were like a tide, and all of them emerged in his mind.

"You mean this painting is in the collection of the Furrell and Sackler Gallery?"

Jesse was very keen to grasp the key to the information revealed by Jin Muchen, but Jin Muchen was a little hesitant at this time.

"If I remember correctly, I saw a brochure for the Freer and Sackler Gallery five years ago that had a black-and-white photo of the painting. And now it's on Here, you have to know that the Freer and Sackler Art Museum is now the Asian Pavilion of the National Expo in the United States, and the rules were set by Freer himself, who donated back then, that is, his art museum can only be entered. , all the works in it are not allowed to be auctioned. And over the years, this art museum has probably followed this rule, so how did this painting come from, hehe, I think you should know better than me …”

Jin Muchen said something in his words, and then gave Jesse a wink, Jesse immediately understood, you are such a virtuous Chris, but unfortunately you are a rabbit who likes to eat grass on the edge of the nest. You are guarding yourself. !

"Okay, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Chris, how much money do you plan to use as collateral for this painting?"

After Jesse and Jin Muchen exchanged a few words, they had a bottom line in their hearts, and then came to Chris with a smile and asked him.

Chris watched the two of them negotiate before, and he was quite nervous. He didn't know if they were willing to admit the authenticity of the painting. Now, seeing that Jesse actually agreed to use the painting as a mortgage to give himself a loan, of course he is very happy.

"The origin of this painting, I think Mr. Chen has told you before, is the work of Zhao Danian, a Chinese painter in the Song Dynasty. He thought it was a very outstanding painter. Unfortunately, there are not many handed down works. There was one in the Boston Museum of Art. It's a pity that it was stolen last year, so this painting in my hand has become his orphan, so the value of this painting will definitely be very high. Well, I plan to use this painting as a mortgage for 30 million US dollars. "

In fact, Chris had already calculated the number in his heart. After selling himself in front of Jesse, he finally reported a number. Unexpectedly, when Jesse heard it, he burst out laughing, which made Chris very embarrassed. ,what do you mean.

"Come on, Chris, don't think I don't know. This painting is indeed a treasure of Zhao Danian, and it is indeed his orphan, but so what? Can you tell me where your painting came from? ?"

Jesse's words made Chris dumb for questioning, which was what he was most worried about before. The reason why Martin didn't agree before, he took this painting as a mortgage, was because he was afraid, this painting will be recognized.

He had also worried about this issue before, but now they were so short of money that he had to bite the bullet and took out the painting, but he didn't expect to be seen through. (To be continued.)
