Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 733
Chapter 735
As shown on the front and sign, this is an antique shop specializing in Western antique art.
The shop displays a lot of paintings and sculptures, as well as other miscellaneous things, such as antique clocks and other things.
These so-called Western antique artworks cover works from various historical periods and most artistic genres, from the Renaissance to modern times.
Xiao Ran and they had entered this antique shop for nearly fifteen minutes and had seen a lot of things.
During this process, everyone discussed in a low voice while admiring these so-called Western antique artworks.
Xiao Ran, who is the focus of everyone’s attention, will ask about the price of a certain oil painting or sculpture from time to time, but that’s all.
Although he would ask for quotations for those so-called antique works of art, he did not buy any of them, which made people scratch their heads!
Seeing this scene, Pavilion Director Qian Gu and the others all felt a headache, but they were helpless.
Xiao Ran’s approach made them want to arrange people to snipe and couldn’t find the target.
You can’t arrange for someone to buy everything Xiao Ran asked for a quote, it’s too obvious!
While speaking, Xiao Ran looked at an expressionist oil painting again and admired it intently for a moment.
This expressionist painting depicts a man lying naked in bed.
The man is skinny, holding in his arms an equally skinny, sleeping Dalmatian dog.
The painting is dimly lit and the tone is low, giving people an eerie feeling, and the man and the dog in the painting are completely devoid of mood and temperature.
At first glance, it looks like two bodies waiting to be collected, which could be pulled to be buried or cremated at any time.
In this painting, the brushstrokes shown by the painter are quite tense, but the colors are solid.
The exposed muscles of men and dogs, as well as the daily composition, seem to narrate the reality of life, but it is deeply disturbing!
Looking at this oil painting, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, Xu Lin, who was standing on the side, suddenly whispered:
“The man and the dog in this oil painting won’t be two corpses, right?” It’s really scary to watch!
Before the words fell, Wang Jue continued:
“But no, I don’t know what this painter wants to express?”
“These painters in the West always paint strange things and don’t know what to do!”
With their discussions, Xiao Ran sobered up.
He turned to look at the two beauties, and then said jokingly:
“It seems that you have to learn Western art appreciation and save yourself from laughing generously!”
“This is an expressionist painting, which can also be said to be figurative, intended to show the reality of life!”
“To be honest, the level of this expressionist painting is not bad, I just don’t know which painter’s work it is,”
the three of them chatted, all speaking Mandarin.
And the sound is very low, coupled with the cover of the mask, there is basically no need to worry about leaks.
Hearing Xiao Ran’s words, the two beauties blushed a little.
“We are not studying art, where can we understand these Western oil paintings!”
“And there are so many genres of Western art, many of which are covered in clouds and mountains, and it is even more incomprehensible!”
Xu Lin defended in a low voice.
At this moment, the director of the Tokyo Museum of Art suddenly stepped forward and asked curiously:
“Sean, what do you think of this expressionist painting?”
“There is no author’s signature on this painting, which artist do you think it will be?”
Xiao Ran turned to look at this old friend, and then shook his head.
“Which painter this expressionist painting is, for a while, I can’t tell
” “But it is certain that this painting still has a certain level, otherwise it would not be displayed here
” “Judging from the style of this oil painting alone, it is a bit like Lucian Freud’s work
” “In fact, Freud did create works of similar themes, and those paintings are very well-known”
Hearing his explanation, the director of the Tokyo Art Museum and several other little Japanese nodded.
Just as they looked at the painting and secretly identified it.
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the antique shopkeeper standing a few meters behind him, and asked with a smile:
“Boss Araki, what is the price of this expressionist oil painting?”
“This oil painting looks a little interesting and is worth studying!”
The owner of the antique shop named Araki did not take Xiao Ran’s inquiry seriously.
He thought that Xiao Ran was still the same as before, just asking for the price, and he would not really buy this expressionist oil painting!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately made an offer.
“Mr. Sean, this painting of “The Sleeping Man and the Dalmatian”, the artistic standard is good, but it is a pity that there is no author’s signature!”
“Its offer is $6800, if you like it, as long as you can accept this offer, you can own this painting” data-title=”Financial Industry” data-tag=”Featured Recommendation” data-type=”1″ data-value=”1925″>
voice did not fall, Xiao Ran had nodded and accepted the offer.
“Okay, $6800, deal, I want this expressionist painting!”
“Ugh!”
There was a sudden exclamation at the scene, and everyone was stunned.
Only David was the exception, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
No one expected that Xiao Ran uncharacteristically bought this oil painting without hesitation, without even cutting the price.
This result is completely unexpected.
Whether it is the antique shop owner or the director of Qian Gu, they all have a feeling of being deceived and something bad happened.
It turns out that this guy of yours has been performing before, confusing everyone and making everyone relax their vigilance by constantly asking for a price, but not buying any antique art.
Until you bastard finds a truly worthwhile target, you will be caught off guard and take down the antique artwork you want.
Thinking of this, all the Japanese people at the scene felt itchy at the root of their teeth.
But they cannot change the outcome of a fait accompli.
Unless completely cheeky, when the offer given before is fart!
With the status of Qiangu Mami and others in the Japanese antique shop, where can they do such a thing, they dare not destroy their reputation!
With them on the scene, the owner of this antique shop did not dare to turn his face and not recognize people!
In fact, even if Qian Gu was really beautiful and they were not here, in the face of Xiao Ran, the antique shop owner did not dare to do such a shameful thing.
In that case, he won’t want to mess around in this line of business in the future!
In a moment, these Japanese people at the scene have come to their senses.
As soon as he woke up, Qian Gu Zhenmei and the others immediately glanced at each other quickly, and everyone’s eyes were full of regret, and they were a little distressed.
They know very well in their hearts that they and others have been soaked again, but they can only eat huanglian dumbly!
Immediately afterwards, they stepped forward in unison and began to examine and examine the expressionist painting carefully.
Looking at the antique shopkeeper Araki again, although he was sober, he had an expression full of pain.
Through Xiao Ran and Qian Gu Zhenmei’s actions, this guy has reacted, he should have been pitted and fell into a bottomless pit!
Ever since this guy Sean entered the antique store, he has been quietly digging holes to prepare for now!
It wasn’t until he discovered this expressionist oil painting that he took action and kicked himself into this big pit!
This expressionist oil painting, apparently a top-notch work of art, is amazingly valuable!
Thinking of this, Boss Araki immediately trembled and asked,
“Is this painting of “The Sleeping Man and the Dog” really a work of Freud?”
Saying that, he looked at Xiao Ran, expecting an answer.
Not only him, Qian Gu Zhenmei and the others all turned their heads and looked over, and they also wanted to know the answer to this question.
Xiao Ran shook his head and said with a smile:
“I can’t be sure whose work this expressionist painting is, but I’m interested in studying it
” “Can we trade?” Boss Araki, unless you want to repent” Araki
was immediately dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
The next moment, he turned his head to look at Qian Gu Mami and the others, his eyes full of pleading, trying to help these big people in the Japanese antique shop.
Qian Gu Zhenmei they had no choice at all, they could only grit their back teeth and say:
“Since Mr. Sean accepts this offer, then this expressionist oil painting should be sold to him
” “To do the antiques business, the most important thing is credibility, you can’t break the rules!”
Hearing this, Araki’s eyes suddenly darkened a lot.
Immediately afterward, he nodded bitterly.
“Okay, Mr. Sean, it’s just $6,800
” “When you pay the money, this expressionist painting will be yours!”
“But I have a request, and when the transaction is completed, I hope you can explain, what did you find on this painting?”
“I believe that you must have made a special discovery before you buy this oil painting”
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and nodded with a smile.
“I can grant your request, Boss
Araki” “But I’m not sure if my guess is correct, there is a certain risk here”
said, and he touched Araki’s elbow and struck the art deal.
The rest is simple.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had used his mobile phone to complete the transfer, and the money and goods were lost.
At his request, Araki produced an English version of the contract, which was signed on the spot.
Seeing this scene, all the Japanese people at the scene were more certain.
This expressionist oil painting, whose provenance is unknown, is most likely a top-notch work of art.
When visiting other antique shops and galleries before, only when he bought top-quality art of amazing value, Xiao Ran would ask both parties to sign a formal art transaction contract to avoid legal disputes!
For the rest of the antique works of art with relatively average value, he basically transferred things.
There is no requirement to sign an art transaction contract, at most add a few words of remarks when transferring the money.
It can be seen that the weight of this expressionist oil painting in his eyes should be a top work of art.
As soon as the deal was completed, the director of the Tokyo Museum of Art couldn’t wait to say:
“Sean, tell me, what did you find in this expressionist painting?” Everyone would love to find out!
“According to the style and characteristics of this painting, is it really the work of the English expressionist master Freud?”
“However, in the sequence of Freud’s works, I don’t seem to have heard of the existence of this oil painting”
As he remarked, several other guys who knew expressionist art nodded in agreement!
Xiao Ran looked at these little Japans, thought for a while, and then said with a smile:
“Gentlemen, I don’t know very well whether this painting is the work of the expressionist master Freud!”
“I still need to carefully evaluate it to give an accurate answer, everyone wait patiently for a moment,”
he said, suddenly reaching out and pulling out a magnifying glass from his coat pocket, pretending to seriously begin to evaluate the painting.
The scene immediately fell silent, and everyone stared at him!
Freud’s “Man and Dog”
