The first thing to do after returning to London was to deal with the three Picasso sketches. And compared to Yang Jing, Guo Xiaoxiang seemed to be more active.
In his words, he has never come into contact with paintings of such high value since he was a child, not to mention that he can handle these three paintings by himself this time. This is simply a great pleasure in life. Maybe he can brag about this for the rest of his life!
Of course, Yang Jing also wanted to sell these three sketches as soon as possible. He was so poor with an empty pocket!
However, when Yang Jing was discussing with Fatty how to deal with the three paintings, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and he asked Fatty to wait two days before releasing the news.
Picasso's paintings are definitely the most sought-after items in the current art market. Even though Picasso left behind tens of thousands of works in his lifetime, as long as the word gets out that there are Picasso paintings for sale in the market, it will definitely attract countless big names.
Picasso's paintings are easy to sell, so what the two people must do now is to ensure that there are no problems with these three paintings before and during the sale.
"Fatty, tomorrow you go to the HSBC Bank across the street and rent a safe. These three paintings cannot be kept here. Before they are sold, it is safest to keep them in the bank's safe."
The fat man nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good. I will go there to rent a safe tomorrow morning. I will pay for it first, and you have to reimburse me later."
Yang Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry about that. Once the painting is sold, we will have everything. Well, tomorrow is Sunday, and I have to go to the Greenwich Handicraft Market."
"Damn, it's already this late and you still have the mind to go shopping in the market?" The fat man was a little dissatisfied.
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Fatty, my intuition tells me that I must go to the market and buy some things. Don't ask me why I have this idea. I don't know why, but I think I have to go. I'll leave the painting to you. When I come back, you can announce the news that we have the painting."
After hearing what Yang Jing said, the fat man said nothing more.
Early the next morning, Yang Jing started the Carnival he had just bought and drove east along the M4 highway.
Yang Jing and Fatty attended the famous Royal Holloway College in Egham, a suburb west of London. Although this university is very famous, it is still far from downtown London. Apart from anything else, the Greenwich Handicraft Market that Yang Jing wanted to go to today was thirty miles away from the rental house where they lived.
Yang Jing drove for more than an hour before arriving in Greenwich.
Greenwich is a district in Greater London that developed from an observatory.
In the middle of the seventeenth century, Britain's great maritime industry flourished. In order to better solve the requirement of measuring longitude at sea, the then British King Charles II, who was the king who made the Vardy family barons, ordered the establishment of an observatory in the Royal Greenwich Gardens on the banks of the Thames, about 20 kilometers southeast of London's city center. This was later known as the famous Greenwich Observatory.
The lonely observatory at that time has now developed into a district in the Greater London area. Although the famous Greenwich Observatory was moved to Sussex after World War II, there are still many famous scenic spots here that attract a large number of tourists.
For example, the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich Park, the Royal Maritime College on the HN bank of the Thames, and of course the famous Millennium Dome.
In Greenwich, in addition to these famous attractions, there is another place that is particularly attractive, that is the Greenwich Handicraft Market. Compared with those famous attractions, this market attracts more London locals.
As an "old Londoner" who has been in London for two years, Yang Jing is particularly familiar with all the major flea markets in Greater London. Naturally, he is aware of the operation of every flea market in London.
Although the Greenwich Handicraft Market is not named as a flea market, it actually functions as a flea market. Especially before the weekends, this handicraft market will spontaneously turn into a cultural relics and antiques market, attracting a large number of treasure hunters.
When Yang Jing arrived at the market, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
After finding a free parking space outside the market and parking his car, Yang Jing walked into the huge market staggeringly with his backpack on his back.
After four consecutive days of rainy weather last week, the weather in London has been great these days. The sun is shining brightly and the air is fresh, which has attracted many Londoners to take advantage of the good weather to go out and stroll the streets.
After entering the market, Yang Jing discovered that the people inside were already shoulder to shoulder. Various bargaining sounds gathered together, forming a sound wave that seemed small but was actually extremely huge. Waves of sound echoed in the market, making it difficult for you to hear any other sounds.
Yang Jing has seen this kind of situation many times. Before coming to the UK, Yang Jing went to university in Jinling. When he went to Chaotian Palace Antique Market, the noise there was really loud. Compared with Chaotian Palace Antique Market, this place is just a drop in the bucket...
In fact, Yang Jing didn’t know what he came here to buy, but his intuition told him that he should come out to buy something today.
This kind of intuition is magical, and Yang Jing has always trusted his intuition. For example, when he bought the ring at the Meigang Road flea market last time, it was actually his intuition that guided him.
