Chapter 928
The two Frenchmen, one named François and the other named René, are said to be collectors from the Montmartre Heights in Paris. Who knows if it is true or not!
Whether they are true or not, at least they chose the right place.
Paris is indeed a city where Picasso lived and fought for most of his life.
It was in Paris and Montmartre that he created countless classic top artworks and wrote the greatest chapter in the history of Western modern art.
It was not until his later years that Picasso left Paris and moved to Cannes, where he spent the last part of his life.
After meeting and chatting with the two Frenchmen, Mr. Liu got to the point.
"Mr. Francois, please let us appreciate the masterpieces of Picasso, the greatest artistic genius of the 20th century and the master of painting. I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time!
If these five paintings are indeed Picasso's works, I will keep them in China and Shanghai. I can talk about the price, I believe it will satisfy you! "
Mr. Liu said these words in English. Although he was not very fluent and had a pidgin flavor, the meaning was expressed very clearly.
The two Frenchmen knew English, so they could understand what they said, and Boss Song could barely understand it.
As for Ye Tian and Raymond, there is no problem.
Hearing this, the two Frenchmen quickly glanced at Ye Tian, a trace of worry flashed in their eyes, and their movements were very subtle.
After a short pause, Francois, the so-called collector from Paris, nodded and said:
"Okay! Mr. Liu, we will show the five Picasso paintings right now. You can appreciate and appraise them, and decide whether to buy these paintings. I hope everyone will be happy!"
After finishing speaking, the Frenchman nodded to Boss Song.
Boss Song immediately walked to the door of the reception room, opened the door, and said to several shop assistants standing outside the door:
"Move those paintings in, be careful, don't bump them!"
Soon, five paintings of different sizes were moved into the reception room by the clerk. Each painting was covered with a white cloth and wrapped so tightly that the contents inside could not be seen clearly.
After pasting the five paintings on the wall,
Several shop assistants left the reception room immediately, and the door closed again.
During this period, through the light emitted from these wrapped paintings and the amount of halo representing artistic value, Ye Tian grasped the situation of these paintings in an instant, almost inseparable!
The two Frenchmen put on white gloves, picked up a painting and put it on the coffee table, and began to disassemble the white cloth wrapped outside. Their movements seemed very cautious, and their expressions were a little excited, which was in place!
The performance is very good! They are two good actors!
Ye Tian complained secretly, a disdainful smile flashed in his eyes.
But he didn't say anything, just stood there, like everyone else, watching the movements of the two Frenchmen.
In less than two minutes, the two Frenchmen removed the white cloth that wrapped the painting, placed the painting on the easel in the center of the reception room, and displayed it in front of everyone.
Just when Francois was about to introduce the painting, Ye Tian suddenly interrupted him.
"Raymond, Walker, stand at the door and don't let other people come in to disturb you. Appreciating this top art requires a quiet atmosphere!"
"Okay, Steven"
Raymond and Walker responded in unison, and quickly walked over to stand on both sides of the door.
Hearing Ye Tian's words and seeing Raymond and the others straddling the two sides of the door, the eye muscles of Boss Song and the two Frenchmen suddenly twitched, and their expressions changed a little!
Without exception, a trace of fear flashed in each of their eyes, and their hearts sank!
An anger quickly appeared in Mr. Liu's eyes. If he couldn't understand the situation in front of him, he would be really a stick!
Ye Tian must have found something wrong! That's why we made this arrangement.
As for what is wrong? Do you still need to ask? There must be something wrong with the picture shown!
For Ye Tian's ability to appraise antique artworks, Mr. Liu chose to trust 100% even if Ye Tian only took a few glances at the painting on the easel!
"Xiaoye, what do you mean? Is there any problem?"
Boss Song asked in a deep voice, his expression was very ugly, and the smile on his face had completely disappeared.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and said with a relaxed expression:
"Don't think too much, Boss Song! There is no other meaning, didn't I just say that! Appreciating this top-level artwork requires a quiet atmosphere.
That's why I did it! And I would like to make a suggestion, Mr. François, unpack all the five paintings and display them in front of everyone.
It is convenient for everyone to appreciate and identify. In the process, you can also make some comparisons to see the subtle changes in Picasso's artistic style in the pastoral period. How good it is! "
Easy to appreciate and identify? Go to hell! You bloody bastard, if you want to close the door and beat the dog, just say it, don't make so many lame excuses!
Both Boss Song and the two Frenchmen lamented to themselves, and their moods instantly became extremely depressed.
No matter how stupid they were, they already understood at this moment that they must have shown their feet, and the bastard in front of them could spot it at a glance.
As for where the tell was exposed, they were puzzled.
This bastard only took a few glances. Could it be that he could see that the painting was wrong just by these few glances? That would be ridiculous! He is not Picasso himself, let alone a god!
Although he was very anxious and even a little scared, the expression of the Frenchman François was very calm, and his demeanor remained good, and nothing unusual could be seen.
"Okay, Mr. Steven, your suggestion is very good, we will immediately unpack the remaining paintings, please appreciate and appraise them!"
After speaking, he and another Frenchman, René, moved into action. Their actions were still very cautious and professional, and they looked like two collectors.
"Xiaoye, what's going on? Can you tell me? Is there something wrong with this abstract painting?"
Mr. Liu pulled Ye Tian to a side corner, and asked in a low voice, with disappointment in his eyes and a bit of anger surging.
"It's an abstract oil painting! It has cubism and surrealism, but it's hard to say whether it's Picasso's work or not! I can't make a conclusion until I have a careful appraisal.
Mr. Liu, don't worry, just wait and see! Maybe there will be a very exciting show to watch today. During this period, I only have one request, please follow my advice! "
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, only he and Mr. Liu could hear the voice.
"Of course, Xiaoye, I have great trust in your appraisal ability, the top antique artworks that caused a sensation in the entire antique shop a few days ago are the best proof.
If these five paintings are indeed from Picasso, that's great, I will definitely accept them! If it is not a Picasso painting, but a prop that is going to cheat me, it will be a different matter! "
When he said these words, Mr. Liu couldn't help flashing a fierce look in his eyes.
Obviously, this person is not a good person! How many good things are there for someone who can get into his position?
After chatting for a while, the two Frenchmen removed all the white cloth from the other four paintings, and displayed the four paintings in front of Ye Tian and Mr. Liu.
Immediately afterwards, Francois began to introduce these four abstract paintings!
