Chapter 275 Fake Painting

"Jason, as a loyal user of the Toutiao app, I want to give you some advice for the CEO."

After Wendy refilled a round of tea, she picked a topic and started talking.

Yang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then made a posture of listening attentively and said, "Please speak."

"I've been using this software for almost half a month, and the smart push mode is definitely a pioneering work." Wendy first praised Yang Cheng's proud work, sipped her black tea, and continued, "But there are still news content. There are slight deficiencies. For example, the news content of the Toutiao app is mostly male-oriented. The entertainment section may attract women’s interest. I think it is possible to consider adding news in the fashion field. Supermodels like our Wenwen should be Very popular.”

Yang Cheng didn't show any signs of impatience. Instead, he listened carefully to Wendy's suggestion and pondered the meaning of Wendy's words. He didn't believe that this woman would say useless nonsense.

"We are indeed preparing for the fashion section, but it's just that we have just acquired Time Magazine, and the resources are still being integrated and digested. I believe that it will not be long before the Toutiao app will undergo a major update, adding more classified news for users Experience."

Wendy showed just the right expression of surprise, "Then I must look forward to it, by the way, we can actually cooperate."

Yang Cheng thought to himself, "Here comes the important point."

Smiling lightly, he touched Liu Wenwen's back with his arm, stared at the somewhat exaggerated and distorted face, and said with great interest, "Tell me? What kind of cooperation is it?"

Wendy smiled and didn't say anything, but stood up and raised her hand to signal, "I recently bought a few paintings by masters at an auction. Are you interested in tasting them together?"

Yang Cheng understood that Wendy didn't want to talk too much in front of others, so she followed her invitation and said, "Why not?"

When he got up, he pressed Liu Wenwen's shoulder, followed Wendy and turned a few corners, and came to a study room, occupying more than 60 square meters. The study room is very simple and minimalist. , Compared with the living room, the study room is a bit cooler. It doesn't mean that the temperature in the study room is low, but it seems that few people use it here. The brand new books on the bookshelf have not been moved since the day they were bought. It's natural to feel cold when you lose popularity.

Soon, an oil painting about 16 square feet was hung on the wall opposite the bookshelf, which attracted Yang Cheng's attention. He thought it was Wendy's latest master painting. However, Yang Cheng didn't wait for Wendy's introduction. He took the initiative to stand in front of the painting, frowning and "appreciating" it, rather than admiring it, he observed it.

"Is this a painting by Degas?" Yang Cheng put his hands in his pockets,

While staring closely at the painting, the girl who was combing her hair, her clothes half-unbuttoned revealing her round breasts, asked.

If it weren't for Yang Cheng's clear eyes, he would have thought he was so wretched.

Of course Wendy didn't think so, she stepped forward and replied proudly, "That's right, good eyesight, how is it, isn't it good?"

Yang Cheng didn't answer, turned around and picked up a high-power magnifying glass on the desk for authenticating calligraphy and painting, and continued to observe the private parts of the girl in the painting. After staring at it for several minutes, she hugged her shoulders and sighed softly, "Oh~, Wendy Ma'am, you answer me truthfully, did you take this painting from the auction?"

A trace of inexplicable embarrassment flashed across Wendy's face, and then she smiled helplessly, "Although I don't know what you found, but~ well, I bought this painting from a bankrupt boss."

Yang Cheng didn't laugh at it, but asked seriously with an expression of knowing this, "How much did it cost?"

"6 million dollars." Wendy reported the figure without hesitation, she had a bad feeling.

Only then did Yang Cheng laugh and said, "6 million US dollars, hehe~ You have been cheated, this is an almost perfect copy work, and there are many people buying this level of work on the market, at least it can sell for 500,000 US dollars! "

"What?" Wendy turned pale with shock, and was about to explode in an instant, but remembering the identity of the young man in front of her, she suppressed the swearing, but her tone was not so pleasant, "Are you kidding me? I found a professional The expert appraiser made an appraisal, and it is undoubtedly Degas's early paintings."

Yang Cheng shrugged, took a few steps back, looked at the painting from a distance, and couldn't help but smacked his lips, "Where did the appraiser find it? Could it be by chance?"

"No, it's the art investment consultant I hired a few months ago." Wendy shook her head and vetoed.

"Oh? It's still a serial trick. It seems that Ms. Wendy was treated as a fat sheep and was laid out a few months ago, just waiting for you to take the bait and kill her." Yang Cheng kept muttering. What a pity, what a pity.

"It's impossible. After I bought this painting, I immediately went to the insurance company to insure it. The insurance company also sent its own appraiser to sign the policy after confirming that it was genuine." Wendy's face was already lovely enough. It's scary, and the gloomy expression at this time can scare the children to tears.

Yang Cheng didn't mind pretending to be 13 in front of this woman, and stood half a meter in front of the painting again with her shoulders in her arms, pointing to the oil painting and explaining, "Although I am not a professional appraiser, I still know a little about Degas' paintings Yes, Degas is very good at using mysterious light and color to describe the characters he likes and is familiar with, such as dancing girls and bathing girls, and uses his pure feelings and delicate emotions to capture many beautiful instant impressions in people's daily life."

After a pause, she looked at Wendy with a dazed face, feeling a little bit like a cow playing the piano, "You also said, this one, uh~ To be precise, it is a copy, it is Degas's early painting, Degas's at that time The technique is still immature, the painting style is not clear, the expression of the works, especially the images of his beloved dancing girls and bathing girls, are more innocent, the use of light is not skilled enough, and there is still a slight lack of vivid expressiveness.

As for this copied work, I have to say that Degas has really studied it to the extreme, almost reaching the level of falsehood. The only regret is that the light color, this bright color expression method, is only available in Degas. It is only reflected in the paintings after entering the mature period. "

Seeing that Wendy still looked unbelievable, he had no choice but to take out his trump card, handed over the magnifying glass, pointed at the private parts of the girl in the painting, and said, "Observe carefully the position of ru~~yun, that is the most favorable evidence."

Wendy snatched the magnifying glass and leaned in front of the painting, the posture was exactly the same as Yang Cheng's at the beginning, and after a while, she put down her hands a little dejectedly.

"See?" Yang Cheng still asked with his arms around his shoulders.

Wendy's expression didn't know whether she was crying or laughing, but it was extremely ugly, "I see, Z.H."

"That's right, every top counterfeiter will leave a mark on his work. If it wasn't for a beam of light flashing on the painting when I came in, it would be difficult for me to find the only regret. This is called Z.H. The guy is really a master, I want to know him."

Yang Cheng Zizi praised, after all, he can imitate Degas's paintings to this point, he must be a top painter himself, and he may be short of a chance to become famous. If Yang Cheng finds him, he must train him vigorously, and then he All the paintings are hidden, and with the media resources Yang Cheng has mastered, as long as there is a little hype, Yang Cheng is equivalent to saving a small treasury, all tm is money! ! !

Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking, "Ms. Wendy, I wonder if you're willing to give up? Give me this fake painting, and I'm willing to pay 1 million US dollars."

Wendy doesn't know the way, and that expression makes you seem to be teasing me.

"I'm serious, Ms. Wendy, apart from not being authentic, this painting is even more artistic than the early Degas. I want to take it back and study it carefully." Yang Cheng said very sincerely.

Wendy waved her hand dejectedly, "Forget it, take it if you want it, don't need to talk about the money, just treat it as a gift."

Yang Cheng didn't dare to take advantage of this woman, she hurriedly took out the checkbook from the inner pocket of her suit, quickly filled out the numbers and signed her name, tore it off and put it on the desk, "The meeting gift is too expensive, I can't afford it, Wen Ms Tee."

"It's up to you, let's get down to business. My current situation must have spread all over Manhattan, and the divorce is a foregone conclusion, but I am not willing to be swept out like this. I have been married to Murdoch for 14 years, and this year is the 15th year. He gave birth to two daughters, and he wholeheartedly assisted his career, so he shouldn't have ended up like this, for the sake of being Chinese, I hope to get help from you and the Yang family." Wendy seems to be used to investment failures, yes Because he didn't get too entangled in this painting, but stated his purpose straightforwardly, Yang Cheng felt a little uncomfortable for a while with his ruthless words.

"This woman really thinks of herself as a foreigner." Yang Cheng complained in her heart.

Pacing slowly in the study with his pockets in his pocket, he said, "I believe Mr. Murdoch will make up for it."

"I also believe that the old guy will give a lot of money compensation even for his own reputation." Wendy said quickly, and she also agreed with Yang Cheng's point of view.

But what she wants is obviously more than that, "but what I want is the shares of News Corporation, and get the shares that I deserve as a wife."

Yang Cheng smacked her tongue secretly, "Damn, are they tearing their skins apart? Are you blatantly asking for it?"

Feeling that I was sweating, I coughed a few times, and said subtly, "This is a family matter between you and Mr. Murdoch, and it is inconvenient for me to participate, and you should have signed a prenuptial agreement, right?"

"It was signed, but it was not what I wanted, and this is not just a divorce lawsuit between me and Rupert, but an issue of racial equality between Chinese and white people. I want to prove to the world that Chinese people are also capable and qualified to fight for it. The rights and interests that I deserve." Wendy glanced over the issue of the prenuptial agreement, flatly rejected it, and said righteously.

However, Yang Cheng scolded directly in his heart, "I bought a watch last year, the tree will surely die without its bark, and people are shameless and invincible."

Can raise greed to the height of racial equality, this thinking ability breaks through the sky, the ancient Greek physicist Archimedes needs a lever to tilt the earth, Yang Cheng feels that this woman can do it in one breath with her mouth Let the earth rush out of the Milky Way, Archimedes' conjecture was finally realized in this woman.
