"Boss Qin, can you let me see these two paintings first?" Although Mr. Wu Kai knew that the two paintings were fake, he still said tactfully.
Boss Qin gave him such face and personally cooked and prepared a medicinal meal for him given his status. You can't just say it's fake without even looking at the painting, right?
I can't live with it in terms of face.
I'll have to pretend to authenticate it later.
"Then please wait a moment, Mr. Wu!" Qin Lin smiled slightly and turned to the office to pick up the painting.
Academician Li, Academician Chu, Academician Lin, and Lin Liu holding the child were obviously attracted by the topics discussed by both parties.
It is purely because Van Gogh and Picasso are so famous, they are two people that no one can avoid.
The textbooks include excerpts from Van Gogh and Picasso.
Some bad people who compile books will even add a full text recitation for you.
This is also a very puzzling thing. Why do textbooks accommodate Van Gogh and Picasso, but not Yue Fei, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Liu, Yang, Luo and Qian, heroes who shed their lives and blood for the nation? ?
There are even celebrities and Internet celebrities who openly take part in textbooks and become students' learning objects.
I have to deny that some celebrities and Internet celebrities have their own merits and are worth learning in some aspects. I am afraid that they will suddenly overturn and give you things like this, that, hair washing, surrogacy, etc.
That would be really embarrassing!
Qin Lin also quickly brought out two paintings, Van Gogh's "Sunflowers in the Sea" and Picasso's "Woman Holding a Golden Drum", and then invited Wu Kai to the hall.
The table in the hall can be a good place to unfold and appreciate these two paintings.
Academician Li and Lin Liu also followed. At this time, they couldn't stop their curiosity unless they found out.
Qin Lin took out the two paintings and handed them to Wu Kai.
The old man took the painting, and at that moment, he was slightly surprised because the material of the painting didn't feel right.
"First Evolution"
As a painter of his level, he is very sensitive to things like drawing paper, and he can even easily judge the age of the paper.
The decoration materials of these two scrolls were obviously not modern, and he could roughly judge that one was 70 or 80 years old, and the other was hundreds of years old.
This time…
Wu Kai opened his mouth slightly, because this time was so coincidental, it was the era when Van Gogh and Picasso lived.
Could it be that some painter at that time imitated the paintings of Van Gogh and Picasso?
After all, this kind of thing happens all the time, and piracy is also a way to make money. You can make a lot of money by imitating the paintings of contemporary famous artists.
If this is the case, although this painting is not as valuable as paintings by Van Gogh and Picasso, it can still be regarded as an antique at this time.
Wu Kai immediately opened one of the paintings.
A picture of sunflowers on the sea instantly unfolded before his eyes. Seeing the scene of the painting and the skills on the scroll, he was stunned again, a little incredible.
Wu Kai quickly came closer to the painting and began to watch it more carefully.
"This painting technique and painting skills..." The more Wu Kai looked at it, the more incredible it became and the more he couldn't believe it.
He hurriedly opened another painting, and a Western blond woman holding a golden drum in a fighting posture appeared in front of him.
A very superb painting art and technique unfolded before his eyes.
He can be sure that this kind of painting skills and painting skills are not something ordinary painters can possess. In fact, he even feels inferior to the painting skills and painting skills of this painting.
There are no painters in modern society who can make him feel this way, and there were only a handful of them in the past.
This really surprised him.
If it was this kind of painting technique, he wouldn't even be sure whether the painting was real or fake.
Yes, he wasn't sure anymore.
Rationally, it is impossible for these two paintings to appear in the hands of one person at the same time.
But there are really not many people who can achieve this painting skill and art.
If a person with such skills no longer needs to imitate other people's paintings, he must also be a well-known great painter.
"Boss Qin, I'm not sure whether this painting is authentic or not." Wu Kai said sarcastically, "If you don't mind, I can find a few experts in this field to help identify it."
Although he has superb painting skills, he has experience in appraising ancient paintings, but is not specialized in it. Therefore, in this case, he can only ask others for help.
"Of course I don't mind, why don't you bother Mr. Wu!" After hearing Wu Kai's words, Qin Lin suddenly felt a little unsure.
If this painting is fake in reality, then this old man doesn't have to be like this.
If this is the case, it means that these two paintings are also true in reality.
In this case, the potential of the Lake Mine will be great. If more sunken treasure chests are dug out in the future, the International Museum will be really great.
Build an international museum in Qinglin Villa. The collections inside are all valuable paintings by Van Gogh and Picasso. If you Westerners want to see your country’s top antiques, you have to come to my scenic spot. The quality can be as high as To what extent?
Wu Kai did not hesitate after hearing Qin Lin's words. He took out his mobile phone and watched the two paintings seriously for a few videos. Then he joined a WeChat group and invited appraisers he knew to join.
The people he recruited into the WeChat group were naturally top appraisers in appraising paintings, not only those who were good at domestic paintings, but also those who were good at foreign paintings.
As soon as the WeChat group was established, the group became a little lively.
"It turned out to be Master Wu's group!"
"I wonder what Mr. Wu has ordered this time?"
"Mr. Wu, have you released new paintings recently?"
"..."
Wu Kai did not hesitate and sent the video he just took to the WeChat group.
As soon as these videos were posted, the appraisers in the group immediately clicked on the videos.
Their first thought was that the video might be Wu Kai's new painting.
If a great painter like Wu Kai paints a random painting, it will attract a lot of attention.
But these people were stunned when they saw those videos.
Van Gogh's "Sunflowers in the Sea"?
Picasso's "Woman Holding a Golden Drum"?
Several people in the WeChat group were stunned when they saw the two paintings in the video.
As people in this industry, they naturally know these two paintings. They also know that these two paintings have never appeared in the world and have long since sunk in the ocean.
Now Wu Kai, a great painter, has posted several such videos. Did he copy these two paintings?
"Master Wu, who are these two paintings?" an appraiser couldn't help but ask.
Wu Kai also sent a message to the WeChat group at this time, saying: "I have no way of confirming these two paintings. I only know that the materials are from more than 70 years ago and more than 100 years ago. They are very well preserved, and the painting skills and painting skills are excellent." It makes me feel inferior."
"So, I am not sure about these two paintings, and I would like to ask you to help me take a look."
This information stunned everyone in the group.
They all understood what Wu Kai meant.
Could it be that Master Wu thinks these two paintings are genuine?
But according to Master Wu, more than 70 years and more than 100 years are the time when Van Gogh and Picasso lived, and it was the period when their paintings were completed.
More importantly, his painting skills are higher than that of Wu Kai, the first contemporary painter, which proves that these two paintings are not simple.
Is it possible that these two paintings are genuine?
The people in the group came up with this idea unanimously.
Although I think this kind of thing is unlikely, people always have the idea of just in case.
What if this painting is real?
A painter couldn't help but ask: "Master Wu, I wonder where these two paintings are now?"
"Yes, where is this painting? We can go over and help Master Wu take a look." Another appraiser also said.
If someone else had sent this video, they would have ignored it, absolutely ignored it, and it was definitely fake. How could these two famous Western paintings that sank into the sea appear in their country? The two paintings still appear together.
But now it was Wu Kai who sent it, and Wu Kai's words before, it was impossible for them to ignore it even if they wanted to.
Moreover, if these two paintings are true, it will definitely cause a sensation in the domestic painting world, and even in the painting and collecting circles around the world.
So, they naturally wanted to find out.
Wu Kai also knew that these people would definitely not be able to withstand the temptation of this matter, so he sent a message saying: "I am in Youcheng, and this painting belongs to the boss of Qinglin Company. Please help us invite two more authoritative foreign appraisers." Let’s verify the authenticity of this painting.”
"Boss of Qinglin Company?" An appraiser sent a surprised message.
After all, Qinglin Company has become so famous recently.
The boss of Qinglin Company is legendary.
Now these two paintings actually belong to the boss of Qinglin Company?
If these two paintings are real, then this legend will be even more legendary.
…
In just two days, the appraisers invited by Wu Kai arrived, including Zhang Yuanzhi, the most famous painting appraiser in the country, and Zhu Sanqing, the president of the Appraisal Association.
The appraisers invited by Wu Kai, the number one painter in the country, are naturally not ordinary people. They are all top appraisers. Moreover, there are also foreign appraisers, two white old men.
Moreover, the background of these two people is not small.
One is a top appraiser from Holland, and the other is a top appraiser from Spain. These two countries are the hometowns of Van Gogh and Picasso.
This time, Zhang Yuanzhi invited the two of them, and they happened to be attending an international painting expo appraisal meeting in Shanghai.
Moreover, these two people are experts in identifying paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh.
These appraisers are all arranged in the Zhongmin Hotel. Naturally, it is impossible to invite these people to the Qinglin Manor.
At this time, these appraisers, headed by Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhu Sanqing, were also discussing.
"Master Zhang, President Zhu, do you think the two paintings in the hands of the boss of Qinglin Company are genuine or fake?" asked an appraiser.
Another person also asked: "It feels a bit incredible, it can't be true, right?"
Another person said: "Looking at the time and painting skills described by Master Wu Kai, at that time, it seemed that only those two had such abilities. If other painters had such painting skills, then It should have been very famous at the time, so there was no need to imitate other people’s paintings.”
"We won't know what's going on until we see those two paintings." Zhang Yuanzhi said. He knew very well that if the other party imitated the painting skills mentioned by the master Wu Kai, then this skill would be even more famous and should not be lost. There are no traces of these two paintings in this world.
The two old white men actually understood Chinese. One of them couldn't help but said: "Zhang, you don't really think those two paintings are authentic, do you? That's impossible."
Another old white man also nodded and said: "Yes, that is impossible. All of us in the Western painting and antique collecting circles know that these two paintings have sunk into the sea. This is recorded in history. Is it possible? Have our history books deceived us?"
The two of them didn't believe this kind of thing at all, and even thought the two paintings these people talked about were ridiculous.
The reason why they are here is to expose this ridiculous lie and stop these people from having such unrealistic ideas.
While these appraisers were talking, the door to the hall opened and several people walked in.
The appraisers Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhu Sanqing subconsciously looked over and saw Master Wu Kai walking in, accompanied by a young man and several strong men.
The young man is naturally Qin Lin, and the strong man is the veteran led by Chen Dabei.
Appraisers Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhu Sanqing stepped forward to greet Wu Kai when they saw him.
"Master Wu Kai, you are finally here. Where are the two paintings?"
"Master Wu Kai, hurry up and let us see those two paintings!"
“…”
Qin Lin was ignored by these people, or in other words, these people never thought that he was the boss of Qinglin Company.
In this situation, his age was the best cover. He glanced at Chen Dabei. Chen Dabei also led people to place two rectangular boxes on a table in the middle and opened them. Inside were Picasso and Van Gogh. The two higher paintings.
This scene attracted the attention of the appraisers, and they gathered around one by one. They knew that it should be these two paintings.
Seeing this, Wu Kai did not introduce Qin Lin. He also walked to the table, picked up one of the paintings, and then slowly unfolded it. Van Gogh's "Sunflowers in the Sea" was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
Then, he opened Picasso's "Woman Holding a Golden Drum".
Wu Kai also said at this time: "Everyone, please help identify these two paintings."
Those appraisers came for these two paintings. They immediately gathered in front of the paintings, then lowered their heads and observed them carefully.
These people are very good at appraising paintings. They can even identify the age of paintings without the help of modern machines like other appraisers. Therefore, after a while, the faces of these people gradually became a little weird.
"The material of this scroll is correct. It is from the time described by Master Wu Kai, and the painting technique..."
"The painting skills are so superb. This painting "Woman Holding a Golden Drum" indeed surpasses Master Wu Kai in painting skills and painting skills!"
"The key traces and trajectories of the painting seem to be not much different from the existing paintings of Van Gogh and Picasso..."
"This seems to be true..."
The faces of the two foreign appraisers gradually became serious, even ugly.
"How can this be……"
"Why are these two paintings here?"
They couldn't believe it.
Based on their experience, these two paintings turned out to be real.
But according to their historical records, the ship sank in the sea, so why do these two paintings appear here at the same time?
Have they all been deceived by their country’s history?
He Lan's appraiser immediately spoke: "Who is the owner of this painting? I want to buy this Van Gogh painting from him. Please let me contact him."
This statement undoubtedly shows that this painting is real.
Wu Kai looked at Qin Lin, and Qin Lin shook his head, joking, how could this painting be sold? Either use their country's national treasure in exchange, or build a museum in Qinglin Villa in the future, hang it in the museum for everyone to watch, and make the other party angry to death.
After all, Holland and Spain are both members of NATO, and they are also troublemakers.
Seeing this, Wu Kai also apologized to the appraiser He Lan and said: "Sir, I'm really sorry. I think the owner of this painting is not willing to sell this painting, let alone see you." These words made those people Appraiser He Lan's face was gloomy. He hurriedly picked up his mobile phone, took a video of the two paintings, and then took the video immediately.
He sent the video to the director of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
This painting by Van Gogh is their national treasure.
The director of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam can find a way to purchase these two paintings through official connections.
