Chapter 629: Sir Owen

Qin Haodong said: "If I use Picasso's paintings to exchange the twelve Chinese zodiac bronze heads with Sir Owen, how many more will he be able to accept?"
Tian Ye said: "Mr. Qin, it seems that you still don't know how much influence Picasso's works have on the international market. Any one of these paintings in your hand will make the collectors all over the world rush.
Although the appreciation of Chinese antiques and art in recent years is also very fast, in the eyes of many collectors, there is no comparability between the two.
In particular, Sir Owen, his library has a large number of Chinese art and antiques. What is missing is Picasso, an internationally powerful art.
If you take these pictures in your hand and exchange them with the 12th birthday of the Chinese Zodiac, maybe one or two will exchange with you. If you take all 4 pieces and put them together into one album, then he will hold ten in both hands. The second zodiac bronze is delivered to you in front of you, and may also give you some other antiques.

"Really? You won't lie to me?"
Qin Haodong was a little afraid of his own ears. In his mind, the bronze head of the 12 Zodiac was an invaluable treasure. It was because of this that he painted 40 Picasso paintings in one breath, for fear of less change.
The field smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Qin, how can I make a joke with you?"
Zhang Zhaohui said: "Mr. Qin, don't feel surprised, you may not be familiar with the international market for art.
Although China has a long history and civilization, due to well-known reasons, more than 60% of the precious cultural relics have been lost overseas. This is an extremely large number, which is somewhat beyond the imagination of human beings.
But foreign art is different, they may have to experience an artistic genius for 10 or even hundreds of years, such as Mozart, Da Vinci, Picasso and Van Gogh.
Because of the scarcity of quantities, the value of these works of art has been created with rareness. For example, Beethoven's handwritten staves have once been auctioned at an auction.
Because of the gap between the numbers, it is very easy to find Chinese art in the international auction market, and you can see it anytime, anywhere.
But if you want to meet Picasso, the works of Van Gogh and others are very difficult. Once any auction shows the news of Picasso, it will immediately attract countless collectors from all over the world.
With the financial strength and influence of Sir Owen, there is no Picasso painting in his hand, which shows its preciousness.

Qin Haodong said: "I have long heard that monks from far away will chanting, and I did not expect art to be like this."
Tian Ye said: "In fact, this is not a Chinese antiques than a foreign art. It is a matter of quantity. After all, the culture of China is too long, there are many outstanding talents, and there are many antiques.
Another reason is human cognition. The influence of big artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh is global, and almost everyone knows their names.
In the early years of China, the policy of closing the country was closed. The paintings and calligraphy works are more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people. It is difficult for Westerners to appreciate and accept. Therefore, there are many outstanding Chinese painters, but the influence in the world is not comparable. Van Gogh Finch has these people.
For those collectors, the market value of the goods is not the most important. They value the reputation of the works. In the eyes of some big collectors, perhaps 100 pieces of Chinese antiques can't match the works of Picasso.

Zhang Chaohui said: "In the past few years, the price of Chinese antiques in the international market was not high, that is, it was only a few years ago that some international speculators and auction houses were fired.
However, in the eyes of European and American collectors, the antique value of China cannot be compared with Picasso's works. Among the ten most expensive paintings in the world, Picasso's works accounted for four, while Huaxia's ancient paintings did not.

Zhang Tie Niu listened for a long time, and was shocked by waves. He couldn’t help but say: "There is such a bare-haired mother, even the skin is pulled, I really don't know what is good?"
The black line at the end of the field said: "Big brother, this is art."
Qin Haodong said: "Trouble two help, thank you."
After saying that he waved his hand to Zhang Tie Niu, Zhang Tie Niu immediately took two red packets that had been prepared for two people.
Tian Ye and Zhang Chaohui said: "Mr. Qin, we should give you help, this is no need!"
Qin Haodong said: "Hold it, it has delayed you for such a long time, a little meaning."
Tian Ye and Zhang Chaohui did not politely accept the red envelope. In fact, when they went out to identify, they often encountered wide-ranging gold owners to give red envelopes.
When two people got out of the car, Zhang Chaohui felt the red envelope pinched and thin. It didn't seem to have much money inside. He said: "Mr. Qin seems to be too stingy."
Tian Ye said: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Qin is a VIP of the old man. It is good to give a red envelope."
Zhang Chaohui snorted: "What are you afraid of? He said that he can't hear him here. The rich are so stingy..."
He said that he tore the red envelope and found that it was not a cash, but a check, and the face value was 1 million.
"My God, this is too big!"
Zhang Zhaohui screamed loudly. If he was not in the car at this time, he would definitely jump up happily.
The field also picked up a check in his hand. When he saw his gaffe, he curiously asked, "How much is it?"
Zhang Chaohui exclaimed excitedly: "One million, it is actually 1 million Chinese coins. After going out to soak up the sister, there is money."
After the accident, the field was extremely happy. In the past, they often received red envelopes from customers. Most of them were thousands of pieces. Like Qin Haodong, the shot was a million gold master, and it was the first time.
What he didn't know was that Zhang Chaohui borrowed his light. Qin Haodong was most grateful to him. This money is an information fee.
If it weren't for the field, Qin Haodong would not know that Sir Owen had a 12-year-old bronze head in his hand, and he would not know Sir Owen's preference.
After sending away the field and Zhang Zhaohui, Qin Haodong immediately began to prepare. He was going to find Sir Owen and exchanged the 12-year-old bronze head. He couldn't wait for a moment.
However, after just two people said that he did not want to come up with all his family, if you take all 40 Picasso paintings out, it would be counterproductive.
After thinking about it, he decided to take 10 photos to find Sir Owen.
Because Nalan Wushuang did not like the sketches, he packed them into a canvas bag, then borrowed Cheng Bo from Li Dongguo and boarded the car to drive to Sir Owen's house.
Cheng Bo was very familiar with the road conditions on Hong Kong Island. They soon came to the door of Sir Owen's house, a very luxurious manor.
Different from Li's manor, it is basically a European-style building. The entire manor house is simple and atmospheric. If you don't know that you are on Hong Kong Island, you really think it is the old castle in Europe.
At the entrance of the manor stood four tall Caucasian bodyguards. Cheng Bo first told them about their identity in the past, and then made clear their intentions, want to see Sir Owen.
The head of the bodyguard said: "Sorry, Sir, if you don't have an appointment, you can't see Sir Owen, even if you are a Li family's housekeeper."
"This……"
Cheng Bo embarrassed to look at Qin Haodong, he thought that Qin Haodong had already agreed to Sir Owen, but did not expect to rush to the door. People like Sir Owen, if they don't make an appointment in advance, are basically hard to see.
Qin Haodong walked to the front door and sent the wrapped shaft in his hand to the head of the bodyguard: "Trouble you to tell me now, I want to exchange some antiques with Sir Owen."
The head of the bodyguard said: "I am sorry this gentleman, Sir Sir Owen will not see you if there is no appointment."
"You handed this picture to Sir Owen. When he saw it, he would come out and meet us."
He didn't want to waste too much time at the door, so he used the dementia directly.
"Good Mr. Qin, please wait a moment."
Among the eyes of several other bodyguards, the head of the bodyguard hurried into the manor with a scroll of art.
Inside the manor, in a luxurious living room, Sir Owen is talking to the housekeeper Fred. He said with annoyance: "It has been so long, can we still find Picasso's paintings?"
Fred respectfully said: "Sir Owen, this is no way. I have already greeted more than a dozen well-known auction houses around the world. They all agreed to contact us immediately with news of Picasso paintings, but There is no movement now.
It's no surprise that whoever has Picasso's paintings will sell it out? If I have it, I will not?

Sir Owen said: "But in a few days my friend Cantona is coming to visit me here. You know, Cantona is a big collector. When I see it, I have a picture of Picasso. No, it will make me very faceless."
Fred spread his hand and said helplessly: "Dear jazz, I understand your mood very well, but I have no way."
At this moment, the bodyguard’s leader took the scroll and hurriedly walked in, and gave a ceremonial ritual to Sir Owen. Then,
Jazz, Li’s housekeeper Cheng Bo and a young man came to visit the jazz, and now they are at the door of the manor.

Sir Owen dissatisfied and said: "Cissé, don't you forget that I didn't see anyone who didn't make an appointment."
The head of the bodyguard said: "The jazz adult, the gentleman named Qin, said that as long as you give this picture to you, you will go out to meet him."
Sir Owen said with annoyance: "I don't look at it. I am in a bad mood now. I don't want to see things messy unless it is Picasso's painting."
