There is also a difference between models. The dozens of nude sketches I just bought from the street stalls are estimated to cost negligible, and I don’t know where they came from.
If the identity of Master Picasso's model could be identified, it would have a completely different meaning. The price of his sketches would increase hundreds of times.
Juliet still needs help with this matter. Although he can ask experts in the museum for appraisal, he is too popular during this period and does not want to have any contact with them. What if they are jealous of the Picasso masterpiece in his hand again, and they got it all at once? Sixteen paintings.
"Mr. Li, are you tired? I'll help you carry your bag."
Li Mo was not polite and handed her the backpack. He would definitely not give this Picasso painting to her, but judging from the current situation, the antique market in Europe has great potential and a lot of potential. When the time comes, he will look for other pieces for her. artwork.
"Mr. Li, what are your orders?"
This time the only ones following him were mines, and he brought a dozen overt and covert security guards to follow him from a distance. After receiving his message, Di Lei came to him and asked softly.
"Please arrange for someone to keep an eye on the first shop we just entered that sells Chinese goods. There are good things in there, but they didn't come from the right way. They were lost from the Bay Island Museum."
Di Lei nodded hurriedly, following Li Mo here and he had not accomplished anything yet. If this matter was done well, then he would definitely not treat him badly after returning home.
Dashan, Ci Tou and the others followed Li Mo to the United States. Not only did their levels improve, but Li Mo also gave them generous rewards individually. If May hadn't been pregnant this time, he wouldn't have had the chance to follow. Moreover, Li Mo was very kind to him. He had already given him millions in rewards even before he made any achievements, so he was very attentive to what Li Mo told him.
"I'll make arrangements."
After Li Mo explained the matter, he and Juliet continued walking forward. They didn't go far when they saw a small alley. Many young people were walking towards it. There was an eye-catching navigation sign at the entrance of the alley.
】
"Juliet, what do you do over there?"
"Enter the alley and go straight to a business that specializes in antique furniture. I have seen it before. They recycle a lot of old furniture and then carefully repair it so that they can be sold at a high price. The reason why this business is famous is because there are many people I once found luxurious furniture customized by the royal family or a noble in history."
Li Mo suddenly became interested. This is also the case in China. Sometimes the price of antique furniture is too exaggerated. The highest auction price of a piece of Ming Dynasty furniture exceeded 100 million.
"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can come across some nice antique furniture."
Just follow him and all miracles can happen.
The alley is about ten meters long, and at the end is a large courtyard. There are many different styles of classical furniture in the courtyard, but from the appearance, these furniture are just old and have no characteristics at all.
“There is a lot of second-hand furniture here that is very cheap and is popular among young people with little financial means, so you see mostly young faces coming here.”
Juliet said as she accompanied Li Mo into the large exhibition hall. The space inside was very large, covering an area of almost more than 3,000 square meters, and there were all kinds of furniture. Of course, there is also a boutique area, which displays complete sets of antique furniture. Not many people visit those areas, probably because of the high prices.
"There are so many styles and quantities of old furniture here. Unfortunately, the boss is not kind. Some of the furniture has been artificially distressed."
Li Mo looked at the furniture around him as he walked. He went around a lot and didn't find any good ones. When he arrived at the boutique area, he looked at them for a long time but had no idea of buying them. Some of the furniture is indeed 70 or 80 years old, but they are all ordinary items, probably purchased from private sources, and can be sold at a high price with a little repair.
"Mr. Li, since there is nothing to see here, why don't we leave and visit other places."
"Let's go."
Li Mo walked around for a long time but found nothing interesting. They walked out of the hall and into the yard. They saw two trucks parked at the other gate, and several porters were preparing to unload the goods from the trucks.
The furniture was protected with anti-collision film so that the real appearance could not be seen. It was just a habit of Li Mo to look at the furniture with a different child and then leave. But at this sight, he stopped suddenly, and Juliet behind him bumped into his back.
It turns out that there are countless black and white haloes shining through the interior of a desk that has been moved down, which means that there are ancient artifacts from about 2,500 years ago hidden inside the desk. Calculate the same period of China before the Xia Dynasty, the period of the late Neolithic Age.
Europe was about 2,500 years ago during the period of ancient Rome and ancient Greece. The things handed down from that time are definitely European national treasures. It is unexpected that they would be hidden in that desk of unknown origin.
"Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?"
Juliet rubbed her nose and asked with a nasal voice.
"Just looking around."
Li Mo walked to the truck and casually touched the furniture that had been moved, showing some interest. At this time, a tall and thin man in his fifties walked up to him and greeted him politely. Based on his experience, the young man in front of him should be a potential customer.
Juliet translated for him.
"I just moved here and want to buy some furniture. How do you sell these?"
Juliet glanced at Li Mo thoughtfully, could these furniture be antique furniture with a provenance? You haven't unpacked it yet, how can you tell?
She didn't understand it, but there were too many things that she couldn't understand about Li Mo.
After exchanging a few words with the boss, Juliet said to Li Mo: "The boss said that this batch of second-hand furniture was obtained from the Scone Castle in Eagle Country. The furniture has a long history and has been passed down for about 150 years. It’s mainly furniture for the study room. If you like it, the price is easily negotiable.”
"Can I sell a single piece?"
"Can."
Li Mo patted a tall cabinet and asked, "What's the price of this set of bookcases?"
Juliet communicated with the boss for a while before giving her answer. This set of 1.2-meter-wide and 2-meter-wide bookcases is worth 50,000 euros.
"Will it be sold for 20,000 euros?"
Li Mo cut him in the waist and then struck again.
The boss waved his hand after hearing what Juliet said. It's not that Li Mo bargained too hard, he was much more cruel than him. The main thing is that you have to be calm in doing business. As long as Li Mo wants to buy, the final price can be determined by him. If He didn't want to buy it, even if it was 5,000 euros, it would be expensive.
Li Mo didn't continue to worry about the price. He walked towards the desk again, patted the tabletop and asked, "What's the price of this?"
This is a 1.6-meter desk. The boss asked for 30,000 euros, but Li Mo lowered it to 5,000 euros. Obviously, he got a blank look from the boss.
"I asked the boss to give me a real price for these two pieces of study furniture. I wouldn't buy them if they were too expensive. If it weren't for their age, I could find similar ones wherever I go."
"The bookcase costs 45,000 euros and the desk costs 20,000 euros."
Li Mo ticked off the price, with a look of hesitation on his face. Finally, he sighed and shook his head slightly.
"I'll ask the boss how much you can offer."
"Two pieces for thirty-five thousand euros."
The boss still waved his hand, and then said something to Juliet emotionally.
"He said your price was too low and he lost money. He could give a little more, 42,000 euros for the bookcase and 17,000 euros for the desk."
Li Mo touched the bookcase and desk again, and finally said helplessly: "I only have enough money to buy a desk. I can't afford two pieces. This is the only way. I bought the desk for 17,000 euros."
