After hearing Master Moripo (Ma Xiaoguang) say that there is room for recovery, Kusumoto Shitaka's expression softened.
"Tusan, if you have any idea, just ask!"
Kusumoto Shitaka said to Master Moripo with a sincere face.
The expectant look in his eyes made Master Senpo feel a little nervous.
After taking a sip of coffee, Master Senpo calmed down and said, "Miss He is particularly interested in Western paintings, especially abstract and impressionist works."
"Of course, we don't understand these things, but I can't help but like the young lady. The problem is that her things are too profound and ordinary people don't understand them. For this reason, the young lady is often distressed and unhappy from time to time!"
After listening to Master Moripo's words, Kusumoto Shitaka still didn't understand.
The fat man looked a little anxiously from behind, and rolled his eyes in anger, thinking, Master Senpo is good at drawing maps, when will he be able to draw?
The female spy Miss Biao is quite good at makeup, but when did she know anything about impressionism?
What is this Impressionism?
Seeing that everyone looked confused, Master Moripo put down his coffee cup and whispered: "As the saying goes, it's hard to find a good friend. This time I have an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. It depends on whether General Kusumoto is willing..."
"There will be an auction held in France Park in the French Concession in five days. At that time, the lady will auction some of her paintings."
After hearing this, Shitaka Kusumoto rolled his eyes, stepped forward and whispered, "Toussaint, do you mean to ask me to buy some of the lady's paintings?"
"Yes! The general is indeed a veteran in the intelligence community. This will not only greatly change the lady's perception of the general, but also reflect the general's sincerity towards Minister He!"
Master Moripo nodded, fully confirming Kusumoto Shitaka's idea.
After pondering for a moment, Kusumoto Shitaka solemnly nodded again and said: "This is a good way to keep it under wraps! Toussaint, your method is very good!"
"Okay, then please ask the general to make preparations in advance. Don't be stingy when the time comes. Although the government is currently at war with Neon, it has not declared war after all..."
As Master Moripo said, he interrupted abruptly and gave Kusumoto Shitaka a look that you know.
Kusumoto Shitaka said goodbye to Master Moripo's master and servant solemnly, and ran away quickly.
Fifteen minutes later.
Female spy Li Mengyun walked out of the bedroom with a puzzled look on her face.
"Young master, I only know a little bit about fine brushwork and traditional Chinese painting. I don't know anything about abstraction and impressionism you are talking about!"
Li Mengyun walked to the window and looked at the street scene, and said to Master Senpo.
"This is not important! If it doesn't work, Fatty and I can still help."
Master Senpo hurriedly patted his chest and quickly dispelled Li Mengyun's worries.
After saying that, he turned around and took out a list from his body and handed it to the fat man.
"Master, do you really want to paint?"
The fat man looked at the list with a strange look on his face.
"Of course, how about auctioning it in five days?"
Master Senpo seemed a little dissatisfied with the fat man making such a fuss.
"Can oil painting be done in five days?"
The fat man held on tightly and asked.
"The surface will be dry in a day or two, so it's almost ready. Besides, not all of my paintings are new, so I can rest assured..."
Master Senpo comforted Fatty and Li Mengyun.
Five days later, guests gathered at the French Park Complex in the French Concession.
"Master, is this scene too big?"
"Where did this come from? I spent all night painting the paintings here, and even borrowed a lot from Ke Laohu."
"Speaking of Old Fox Ke, he was really willing to give you a cart full of paintings!"
"He has no profit and can't afford it early. Besides, these are works by unknown painters, and together they are not worth a thousand oceans. He is happy to do favors..."
While the two of them were chatting at the door, a graceful foreign girl walked towards them.
It was Sophie who came.
"Jack, it's so lively here!"
Sophie was as happy as a little girl who had never experienced the world.
"Miss Ke, you are a socialite, so you must be reserved."
Young Master Senpo lectured Sophie in an old-fashioned way.
Master Senpo's answer obviously made Sophie a little unhappy. Her expression changed, she curled her lips, and walked in with her head held high.
"Alas! There is no way that today's protagonist is Miss Cousin."
The fat man shook his head, sighed with regret, and followed in.
Master Senpo stood in the foyer for a while, and many important guests came one after another, such as Lu Jingshi, who represented the government, and Lao Zhou of Xiangsheng Company, who represented the sages of society...
In addition, many foreign friends also come here.
Chairman Kevin of Tianma Yang Company, Daisy, the secretary of the public concession director, Natasha, the former nobleman of Da Mao...
There was even a representative of the Neon Kingdom, Tsunegi Matsudaira, the manager of Matsudaira Trading Company.
When shaking hands with "Matsudaira Tsunegi", Kusumoto Shitaka was excited!
Although the Kusumoto family is also an aristocratic family in the Neon Kingdom, it is completely different from the Matsudaira family. This is just like the difference between ordinary bannermen and clan yellow belts.
Therefore, Kusumoto Shitaka was quite frightened.
In fact, "Matsudaira Tsunegi" (Boss Zhong) was also very panicked.
…
With a greeting from the host, a bell rang and the auction officially began.
The first auction was a European neoclassical style oil painting.
The guests were in high spirits, and the bidding kept getting higher and higher. An unknown ordinary oil painting actually sold for a high price of 10,000 yuan!
The winning bidder was Lu Jingshi.
Looking at Lao Lu, Master Senpo nodded with satisfaction.
Lao Lu is reciprocating this. During the last legal currency reform, due to Master Senpo’s reminder, Lao Lu and Lao Du made a lot of money, including pounds!
So this time, I started with a small gesture of 10,000 yuan and treated it as support for the war of resistance.
The second round of auction is a blue and white hammer vase from the official kiln during the Kangxi period.
This time it was even worse. The guests bid all the way, and in the end, they were auctioned off by an unknown Hong Kong rich man for a high price of NT$50,000...
Mr. Moripo, who was standing with Sanitaka Kusumoto, looked at the lively auction scene and seemed to be a little uninterested.
"They're all just petty. It won't be a big deal."
Master Moripo shook his head and said to Kusumoto Sanitaka.
Kusumoto Shitaka asked quietly: "Tusang is a noble of the Qing Dynasty, and his family background is naturally incomparable to ordinary people. How will we bid appropriately later?"
Hearing this, Master Senpo looked around and whispered: "Mr. Nan, please pay attention now. Don't rush to make a bid. Wait and see what happens. There are many people who want to take a long career path. You must seize the opportunity! Don't be too early. Exposed..."
Regarding Master Moripo's advice, Kusumoto Shitaka nodded gratefully.
While he was talking, he heard a bell ringing on the stage. Two waiters carried an easel covered with red silk. Kusumoto Shitaka's long-awaited work finally appeared.
