"Boss, please take these paintings down for me to see." Yang Jing stood in front of the dozen sketches and looked at them for a while before he called the boss out.
The boss took down the paintings and handed them to Yang Jing, saying, "Sir, these paintings were not painted by Mr. Picasso. In fact, they were all painted by a student from the University of London. Maybe this student thought that Picasso's paintings were easy to sell, so he used Mr. Picasso's name..."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "His paintings are indeed good. I was shocked when I saw these paintings just now. When did so many Picasso sketches appear here? If you didn't tell me, I would have thought they were painted by Mr. Picasso."
The shop owner laughed. "Of course these paintings are not by Mr. Picasso. If I had paintings by Mr. Picasso, I would never be here selling them. I would have gone to Wales or Scotland to buy a luxurious villa and live there. What do you think?"
Yang Jing nodded and said, "I would do the same if it were me."
After a pause, Yang Jing asked, "So what are the prices of these paintings?"
"You know, these paintings are consigned. The price the boy offered me at the time was fifteen pounds a picture, and if you want to buy them, it's best to buy all the paintings together. There are twelve paintings in total, and the total price is three hundred pounds."
Yang Jing frowned and said, "This price is a bit high. Although the Picasso signatures on these paintings are real enough, as you just said, these paintings were only painted by a student from the University of London. They are not Mr. Picasso's authentic works, so..."
"NO, NO, sir, I just said that these paintings are only consigned to me, and I have no right to set the price of these paintings. Besides, these paintings are really good, aren't they?"
Yang Jing lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Okay, pack all these paintings for me. Who made me like these paintings? Also, I need to sign an agreement to prove the origin and price of these paintings."
The shop owner agreed readily.
After signing the agreement, Yang Jing took the paintings out of the market and drove back to the rental house near Royal Holloway College.
Seeing Yang Jing bringing in more than ten sketches, the fat man complained that Yang Jing was wasting money on these useless paintings.
But it turned out that Yang Jing's intuition once again played an important role.
The next day, Fatty and Yang Jing took the painting to a professor at the School of Art at Holloway College.
Royal Holloway is one of the independent colleges of the University of London. The college was founded in 1886. Queen Victoria personally granted it a royal charter and presided over the opening ceremony. In 1900, Royal Holloway joined the University of London.
The major majors of Royal Holloway College are first-class in the UK. Yang Jing is studying for a master's degree in economics and management, while Fatty is studying art.
The art major of Royal Holloway College is also famous throughout the UK. Although the art major of Royal Holloway refers to the media field, there are still many old professors in this major who have profound attainments in art.
For example, the old professor that Fatty found, named Steve Johnson, is a professor who has done in-depth research on Picasso.
"What? You said you have three furniture sketches by Mr. Picasso? Chris, don't fool me here!" In Professor Steve Johnson's office, when the old professor heard Guo Xiaoxiang's words, his face was full of disbelief.
Just like Yang Jing has an English name, Albert Young, Guo Xiaoxiang also has an English name, Chris Guo.
"Professor Johnson, how could I fool you? Look, I brought all the paintings here. But we are not sure whether this is a painting by Mr. Picasso, so we brought it here for you to take a look." It can be seen that the fat man has a very good relationship with Professor Johnson.
"Well, if you are so sure, then bring your paintings over to me. But Chris, let me tell you, if those paintings are not by Mr. Picasso, I guarantee that you will not pass your graduation thesis!"
It was obvious that Professor Wilson did not believe what the fat man said and even threatened him about his graduation thesis.
Of course the fat guy doesn't care about this, he studies in the UK purely to satisfy his mother's preferences, otherwise he would have stayed at home and hung out with his father!
No matter how you look at it, living with a billionaire dad is better than living alone in the UK!
Yang Jing took out the three sketches from his backpack, and Professor Wilson put on gloves and took them.
Professor Wilson's professionalism is very good. Regardless of whether these paintings are authentic works of Picasso, the fact that he wears gloves to receive these paintings is enough to show his professionalism.
Professor Wilson certainly did not take these three paintings seriously. Although Picasso left behind a large number of works throughout his life, most of his works are treasured in museums or private collections, and are not so easy to see among the public.
The old professor glanced at him casually, and his eyes immediately widened.
The old professor had an expression of disbelief. He quickly and carefully placed the three paintings on the table, then moved his face closer and began to examine the three paintings carefully. Finally, the old professor even took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and looked at the three paintings one by one.
After a long while, Professor Wilson put down the magnifying glass, and then he let out a long breath, and said with an excited expression on his face: "Chris, it's really unbelievable that you can get three authentic works of Picasso! That's right, if nothing goes wrong, these three paintings should be Mr. Picasso's authentic works!"
