The ward is as warm as spring.
Zhu Changan was lying on the white and soft hospital bed, listening to Cheng Yinuo explain her suspicions.
"When I was bidding on "Tiger and Crouching" in New York, I discovered that the auction seemed to be a scam. The purpose was to sell "Tiger and Crouching" to me at a sky-high price..."
At the moment, Cheng Yinuo described his speculation in detail to Zhu Changan.
First of all, Xu Wei's work is worth tens of millions at best, but because the name contains a homophonic word for "Phoenix Nirvana", it is extremely important to the Cheng family.
Because in the hearts of the Cheng family, this "Tiger and Dragon in Pan" is one of the antidote pictures. If you get it, you can hope to find the antidote and wake up Cheng Qianjin, who has been sleeping for eight years.
But the seller also knows that no matter how hungry the Cheng family is for paintings, it is impossible to sell a painting for billions.
No matter how desperate Cheng Yinuo is to find an antidote to save his sister, the rest of the Cheng family cannot just sit idly by and even become suspicious.
Therefore, they directed and acted at the Paris auction, spent 100 million, and successfully promoted "Tiger and Dragon Pan" to a sky-high price of 6.8 billion, making it the most valuable painting in the world.
Then, after a while, they used "Feng Qiu Huang" as bait to trick Cheng Yinuo into New York to participate in the auction.
However, the day before the auction was about to start, the news was released, telling all the sellers that "Tiger and Dragon Pan" would appear in the auction, with a starting price of 1 billion.
"Is that seller a fool? He spent 6.8 billion to buy it in Paris, only to have it auctioned in New York for 1 billion. Even the world's number one philanthropist wouldn't dare to play like this, right?"
Zhu Changan immediately sneered: "A scam, it's definitely a scam!"
"There is a saying that 'the beholder knows the truth, but the authorities are confused'. At that time, I was already in a puzzle, and even our Cheng family was trapped in a puzzle. We would find our own reasons to help the seller explain the scam."
"For example, 1 billion is just the starting price. There may be many buyers competing, and the final price is likely to be above 6.8 billion."
"Or, although the starting price is only 1 billion, the seller sets a reserve price, and the final bid does not meet his psychological expectations, and the bidding will be invalid."
"In short, the seller successfully brainwashed me through the Paris auction and wanted to make a fortune from me by taking advantage of my worry about gains and losses and my fear of missing out on "Tiger Standing"."
Zhu Changan strongly agrees with this: "If the final price is less than 6.8 billion, such as 4 billion or 5 billion, you will buy it without hesitation. Because you will feel that you have missed something and made a big bargain. Plus, There is also an urgent need to find an antidote, and you will definitely be tricked and defrauded of huge sums of money."
"You know me quite well!"
Cheng Yinuo showed an expression of appreciation, "It was you who told me that I had obtained the "Tiger and Crouching Picture", which gave me a reassurance and calmed me down. Otherwise, I would have definitely bought this picture at a high price!"
"It's true that my consort is very smart, but I'm even more of a bystander in 'Onlookers'."
Zhu Changan made a small note and said, "In fact, let alone if you offer 4 billion to 5 billion, or even if you offer more than 1 billion or 20 billion, the seller will take action."
"You are really smart!"
Cheng Yinuo nodded: "I agree with your point of view, and the seller has set a bidding deposit of up to 500 million. Even if I regret it after bidding, they can still obtain high income without any loss."
"The sellers have understood the psychology of your Cheng family. In these years, your Cheng family has spent more than three billion to find the antidote. It is about to be completed. How could you give up this vital thing for a mere three to five billion? One ring!”
"More than three billion is just for buying pictures. If you include the cost of hiring experts, you should have more than four billion!"
"That's because your Cheng family is too wealthy. It's appalling to have three experts with an annual salary of hundreds of millions."
Zhu Changan was talking and wanted to light a cigarette, but Cheng Yinuo held his hand down without hesitation.
"This ward will soon turn into a boiler room if you continue to smoke. Don't regard my tolerance for you as indulgence."
"Okay, okay...I won't smoke anymore. The princess taught you a lesson, and Wei Chen has realized his mistake."
Zhu Changan raised his hands and surrendered, "Then peel me a banana and eat it to moisturize your throat."
Cheng Yinuo pouted, stretched out his delicate hands, broke off a banana, and slowly peeled off the yellow skin.
His eyes became a little dim, and his face revealed a sadness: "But what's the use? I found that the human heart can never be satisfied!"
"I'm very satisfied. For a picture worth 6.8 billion, I would be very satisfied if you gave me 1 billion."
"I'm not talking about you!"
"Then who are you talking about?"
"Song Yuanxing and Zhou Li."
Cheng Yinuo handed the peeled banana to Zhu Changan, "I suspect that the two of them secretly colluded with the masterminds of Huju Tu to defraud our Cheng family's property."
"Are they those two antique masters with annual salaries of hundreds of millions?"
Zhu Changan took the banana and sucked it, "That shouldn't be the case. I get 100 million from your Cheng family a year. Who can give you a more attractive reward?"
Cheng Yinuo said: "Because they tried their best to persuade me to buy the picture of the tiger at the auction."
Assume that I bought the Huju Tu for 6 billion under the trap of the seller, then the seller can at least give them 1 billion each, which is what they need to follow our Cheng family for ten years to earn.
Moreover, no one can guarantee that he will stay in a position for ten years, just like the so-called soldiers who are in a stable camp.
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the bustle in the world is all for benefit. Under the temptation of huge wealth, it is normal for Song Yuanxing, Zhou Li, or one of them to start betraying their conscience. "
Zhu Changan sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. What you said makes sense. But even if your analysis is close to the truth, the conspiracy of "Tiger Standing Picture" is just to defraud your Cheng family's property and my car accident." what is the relationship?"
Zhu Changan's approval made Cheng Yinuo more confident.
"The exposure of the "Tiger in the Picture" scam was my breakthrough. From this, I peeled off the cocoon and speculated that Qianjin fell into the "Happy Drunk" for no reason and fell asleep. It was probably a conspiracy that started eight years ago."
Zhu Changan wolfed down the banana in his hand and listened carefully with his ears raised.
Cheng Yinuo paced back and forth around the hospital bed and recounted his speculations.
"I guess that many years ago, an expert in the antique world discovered the strange poison of Xiaoyaozui, so he used some method to inject it on Qianjin, making her fall into a deep sleep.
And this person has probably collected the antidote pictures of "Phoenix Nirvana" in advance, and even included a large number of ancient paintings with homophones for "Phoenix Nirvana".
After laying out the plan, this person spread the prophecy "A dream in Chang'an leads to a happy drunkenness, and the phoenix will return to nirvana with beauty" to the ears of our Cheng family. Let us know that if you want to find the antidote picture, you must buy a large number of ancient paintings that contain the homophony of the four characters "Phoenix Nirvana".
And he hid behind the scenes and controlled remotely, constantly selling ancient paintings that contained the homophonic word "Phoenix Nirvana" to our Cheng family, defrauding our Cheng family's wealth.
In the past few years, of the more than fifty paintings I purchased, it is likely that half or more were transferred from the hands of this poisoner to the hands of our Cheng family.
Among them, there is only one painting that is actually one of the antidote pictures, "Phoenix Flying" by the saint Wu Daozi. Although the others are all ancient paintings, they have nothing to do with the antidote pictures. They are all used for confusion. Audio-visual, defrauding our Cheng family's wealth. "
"call……"
Zhu Changan was a little confused, "Your analysis makes sense, but it's too complicated. Let me drink a glass of water and sort it out first."
"I'll get you some water."
Cheng Yinuo turned around and came to the water dispenser, picked up a disposable paper cup, helped Zhu Changan get a cup of boiling water, and put it gently on the bedside, "I'll give you three minutes to comb it."
