Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
A Chinese student studying in the UK found three Picasso sketches at a flea market. The news spread quickly throughout Greater London and even half of Europe like the shock wave of a mushroom bomb explosion.
Professor Wilson is a senior professor at Royal Holloway and an expert in Picasso's works, so the news coming from him is naturally very important. Not to mention that there are three other experts of similar status to Professor Wilson who jointly proved that the three paintings are indeed authentic works of Picasso.
Of the three experts that Professor Wilson found, two were senior experts from the British Museum, and one was from the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, Spain. This expert was the deputy director of the Picasso Museum...
Together with Professor Wilson, the appraisal results issued by these four people are sufficient to prove that these three paintings are authentic works of Picasso.
With Yang Jing's permission, Professor Wilson also took photos of the three paintings and uploaded them to the Internet. Since he had decided to sell the three paintings, the news about them must be spread, otherwise how could he attract potential buyers to bid?
This is an authentic work of Picasso. Even though it is just the least valuable sketch, it was also painted by Picasso. If it didn't attract a bunch of wealthy people to bid for it, how could the price be raised?
Sure enough, when Professor Wilson uploaded the photos of these three paintings to the Internet, the whole of London and even half of Europe caused a sensation.
The two experts from the British Museum wanted to purchase the three paintings directly, but Yang Jing did not agree.
Are you kidding me? This is an authentic Picasso, and it has never appeared in the records. You want to take it away for 300,000 pounds. Do you really think I am a fool? If it weren't for your hard work in identifying these three paintings for me, I would have kicked you out long ago!
If the behavior of the two experts from the British Museum who wanted to buy the three paintings at a low price was understandable, then the behavior of the deputy director of the Picasso Museum in Barcelona was simply outrageous.
"Yang, these three paintings are the result of Mr. Picasso's hard work. I think Mr. Picasso would like to see his paintings appreciated by more people in heaven, so I sincerely implore you to donate these three sketches to our Picasso Museum so that more people can appreciate Mr. Picasso's works."
Faced with this almost shameless request, Yang Jing and Fatty were almost laughing out of anger!
Donate? Why don't you give us some of the money in your pocket?
Why should I donate the paintings I worked so hard to find to your museum for free? Is it just because your museum has the words "Picasso" on it?
Well, you'd better go somewhere cooler. Can't I serve you if I can't?
And not just these three. In the following days, people from the Louvre in Paris, the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, and several other famous museums in Europe came to ask Yang Jing to donate the three paintings free of charge.
Even the people at Madame Tussauds in London made such a request.
Well, it is understandable that both the Louvre and the Prado Museum made such a request. After all, they are serious museums. In order to allow more tourists to see Picasso's original works, although such a request is a bit excessive, it is at least reasonable.
But what do you guys at Madame Tussauds mean by making such a request? You guys are wax figures, when did you switch to calligraphy and painting?
Shameless! How shameless!
It’s really hard to imagine how these Europeans think!
Free donation, you are so bold! Why don't you donate the treasures in your collection for free? If you dare to donate, I will donate these three paintings as well!
Damn it, you two brothers are even more awesome than birds! If you don’t donate, why should I donate?
In order to avoid more such situations, Yang Jing said to these people very confidently, "I'm sorry, I'm in urgent need of money now, so these three paintings will not be donated to the museum, so you all should just give up on this idea..."
These words were used to block the people in the museum, but things did not calm down.
Just as the people in the museum had calmed down, a few people who caught Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang off guard came over.
Early in the morning, Yang Jing had just gotten up and was brushing his teeth when there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me, are you Albert Young? A foreign student from China?" When Yang Jing opened the door, he saw three people in London police uniforms standing outside. This really scared Yang Jing.
Yang Jing hesitated for a moment and then said directly: "Yes, I am Albert Yang, a Chinese. What can I do for you?"
"Hello, Mr. Yang. We are from the Egham Police Department. I am Sergeant Holmes. We received a report that you have three Picasso sketches. The reporter said that you illegally obtained these three paintings from his home, so we need to take you to the police station to inquire about the relevant matters. Oh, by the way, the reporter claimed to be Mr. Bob John, the butler of the Fishgard Vardy family. I think you should know him, right?"
When Yang Jing heard this, he shuddered all over.
He looked at the three burly policemen in front of him, thought for a long time, then squinted his eyes and asked: "Mr. Officer, I do know Mr. John, but I don't understand why he reported such a case, because I didn't illegally obtain any paintings of Mr. Picasso from him. Yes, I have three sketches of Picasso, but they were not obtained from Mr. John, I..."
