Jesse's words really asked Chris's weakness, the origin of this painting, and it's really not that right.
It is well known that this year Chris. Furrell's grandfather was the first group of people in the United States who began to collect ancient Chinese paintings, and this old guy had a big advantage because he started earlier.
At that time, the situation in China was relatively chaotic. It happened to be in a situation of melee war between warlords, and people in the country did not have a strong intention to protect cultural relics. In addition, the great powers of various countries invaded China for many years, and they all knew what good things China had, so At that time, a large number of Chinese national treasures were lost overseas.
And this Furrell has also scavenged a lot of good things from China, and this way, this guy's appetite has also been raised, so that he is even more arrogant to those brokers who specially give him antique mobile phones. They said: "Don't give me the Chinese calligraphy and painting after the Yuan Dynasty, I only accept the calligraphy and painting of the Tang and Song Dynasties"
It is precisely because of the harsh conditions he set that a large number of counterfeit goods have also flowed into his hands.
So much so that when he donated to build the Freer Museum, he claimed that there were 30,000 ancient Chinese works of art in total, but among them there were a large number of fakes and counterfeit calligraphy and paintings.
Moreover, these calligraphy and paintings are not only imitations and paintings in the modern period, but many of them are fake calligraphy and paintings of the Tang and Song Dynasties in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of a hundred years, and because the level of counterfeit paintings is relatively high, these calligraphy and paintings have become antiques.
And this Zhao Danian painting is obviously considered by the original appraisers to be an imitation of the Ming Dynasty. The reason is very simple. Although this Zhao Danian is famous, there are not many handed down works, so those appraisals Many readers have never seen his paintings and cannot make comparisons.
In addition, this painting is so well preserved that no matter how you look at it, this painting looks more like a new painting than an old painting with a history of nearly a thousand years.
So when the Freer Art Museum was established, the appraisers, when appraising the painting, classified the painting as an imitation painting in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was a work of the seventeenth century.
Later, because of Dr. Sackler, he also donated all his life collection, and together with the collections in the Sackler Art Museum, it formed the Asian part of the modern American National Expo. In addition, in recent years, this integrated art museum has always maintained the habit of only entering and not entering, resulting in more and more collections, and the appraisal experts in the museum have no intention of removing all the original collections. Take them out and re-identify and classify them again, which gives Chris a chance to take advantage.
A few years ago, the Furrell and Sackler Art Museum underwent a large-scale retreat and renovation, because the collection was more and more, and the original storage and display space was not enough.
In this art museum, most of the collections are ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings. These calligraphy and paintings have very strict requirements for preservation. Not only are they required to be preserved under constant temperature and humidity, but even the brightness of the lights has special requirements.
So Chris and several other directors of the museum organized a screening together, and the purpose of this screening, of course, was to screen out and dispose of the fakes hidden in these genuine items.
In fact, everyone knows very well what is going on. The collection of this art museum now has 100,000 pieces, including many famous and good things, but some things that do not attract attention, because of the issue of popularity, in fact Also good stuff.
Those executives or something, haven't they coveted such a good thing for a long time? It's just that no one dared to blatantly take away these good things, but this screening provided them with a great opportunity.
As long as they do a little bit of manipulation during this appraisal, let these things be classified as fakes, and then take them out of the warehouse. It's not up to them to decide what to do at that time.
So at that booty-sharing conference, Chris got a number of famous 'fake' paintings including this picture of Zhao Danian's autumn pond, and these paintings that were identified as 'fakes' were of course also from Fu The Riel and Sackler exhibition roster was canceled, and people who didn’t follow the museum had no idea where the paintings were going.
And even people who pay attention to these paintings have nothing to do, because the museum has too many collections, and the exhibition hall is so large that only a few thousand works can be displayed at a time. As for other works, only Can lie in the warehouse, wait for the schedule, and take turns to the exhibition hall for exhibition.
And now that the painting has been taken to the warehouse for rest, there is nothing they can do. As for when it can be brought out for exhibition, it is up to the people in the museum to have the final say, and they can't supervise it at all.
In this way, those paintings were stolen by Chris and the managers of some other art museums. Anyway, these managers are either the children of some high-ranking families in the current US government, or the Forrell family like him. , or the children of the Sackler family, even if they knew that they were plotting something wrong, no one dared to say it.
Even if they say it, no one wants to believe it, so they each won a lot of spoils, and today's picture of the autumn pond is one of Chris's most proud collections.
The previous painting came out because it was not well-known, but its value was very high, and it was very low-key, so it might not be recognized by others, but he did not expect that this painting would be recognized by Jin Muchen. .
And I told Jesse. Now when Jesse asks him, he seems very passive. This painting is genuine, but he can't tell Jesse that this painting is from Furrell and Seck. In the Le Art Museum, did you get it right?
Doesn't that mean that the handle is automatically given to others?
So at this time, Chris was stumbling and really didn't know how to answer, and at this time, Jesse smiled.
"Okay, Chris, I won't make it difficult for you, I know it's actually quite easy to get such a painting in your position. It's none of our business, and we don't care, but there's one thing I have to say , Because of the origin and origin of this painting, we cannot easily realize this painting, so, the price will be discounted. Although he is a famous painting, we must obey the market. Is it the rule?"
Hearing what Jesse said, Chris let out a sigh of relief. Indeed, because of the special background, this painting must not be easily realized.
Fortunately, Jesse is not dead-headed and promised himself that he can use this painting as a mortgage, so it will be easy, but he needs to lend himself a little less, which is acceptable. The less the loan, the less the interest. , This is also a good thing. Anyway, I am only short of money during this period of time. After another month, I will be able to turn around. Who needs to use their money then?
Thinking of this, Chris nodded quickly and agreed to Jesse's conditions: "Then how much money do you think you can raise for me?"
"Well, you say this painting is worth 30 million dollars, I don't doubt it, but in my opinion, that should be the price that can be sold after the auction. And if you look at the current situation of this painting , it's only suitable for the underworld, and if the underworld sells stolen goods, then this painting will be greatly discounted, so, I'm not a black shop, I'll give you ten million dollars, one-third of The original price, this is very fair, what do you think?"
After listening to this quote, if Chris didn't see this Jesse as a woman, he really wanted to throw the wine in her hand on her face, Nima's, you bitch, you're playing with me right?
Even if you want to give a discount, you can't be so ruthless, right? A painting with a market value of 30 million, you actually gave me 10 million US dollars as soon as you opened your mouth, and directly gave me a one-third discount, don't you take it too far?
Besides, even if you mentioned the channel of the underworld selling stolen goods~www.novelbuddy.com~, even which channel, the price is not so low?
The discounts given by other people's dark meetings are much higher than yours? You are too cruel!
Chris was about to explode at this time, but he still had to maintain his demeanor in front of Jesse. He was silent for a while, then raised his head, smiled at Jesse and said, "Jessica, you Isn't the discount a little too harsh?"
"No, not at all, Chris, I'm actually doing it for your own good."
Chris laughed angrily: "Oh? For my own good? I don't quite understand!"
"Haha, then I'll tell you, in fact, for people like you, do you think you're short of money?"
When Jesse asked this, Chris was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. It is true that he is not short of money, but most of his cash has been invested, and it can't be turned around for a while.
Jesse snapped his fingers: "Isn't that right? You just can't make money for a while. You use this painting as a mortgage. This painting is indeed very valuable. If you are very short of money, then you Of course, I hope that the more money you can borrow, the better, but you are not short of money, so what are you doing with so much loan? With as much as 30 million US dollars, do you know how much interest you will need to pay for one month of the loan? According to the current market situation , one month's interest is enough to repay a sports car? What about two months? And if it is 10 million, wouldn't you pay a lot less interest?"
As soon as Jesse said this, Chris really couldn't find any reason to refute her for a while.
