Chapter 1129: Pierret's Wedding

The turnover of this auction was astonishing, so it was naturally in the news. Feng Yu auctioned two paintings at a high price, but was only mentioned at the end of the news. The headlines of today's news are all about Paul Allen's auction of an oil painting at a sky-high price of 80 million US dollars. Of course, he was also mentioned A total of more than 200 million US dollars was paid at the Sotheby's auction this time, and many people called it an art speculator.

Some artists began to criticize Paul Allen fiercely, saying that he shamed the art and dusted the paintings, but they did not mention Feng Yu who also bought two paintings at a high price.

I don't know how depressed Paul Allen should be, but Feng Yu suddenly became in a good mood because he got very good news.

"Kameda, are you sure you can buy that painting?"

"Yes, and the price will definitely not exceed 70 million US dollars, maybe 50 million US dollars will not be used. The important thing is, this painting meets your requirements, the boss, doesn't it?" Kameda Masao said firmly.

Feng Yu patted Masao Kameda on the shoulder: "Hahaha, Kameda, well done. By the way, do you like this kind of oil painting? If you like, you choose one of these two oil paintings, and I'll give it to you! "

Kameda Masao's eyes widened. Each of these paintings was bought by the boss with a huge sum of 70 million US dollars. In the past ten years of auctions, it was also the top three highest prices. In the entire history of oil paintings, it was also the highest price. The sky-high price of the top ten, the boss actually said that he would give him one!

"Boss, it's too expensive, it's not suitable, I can't take it." Masao Kameda was a little panicked.

"Hey~ You work so hard and do your best. You deserve it. Don't be polite to me. I'll tell you, and you take it."

Feng Yu attaches great importance to Masao Kameda, and occasionally giving Masao Kameda some favors can make Masao Kameda work harder for him. Having such a talented person can save Feng Yu a lot of things. Masao Kameda can help Feng Yu earn more than 70 million US dollars every year.

"Thank you, boss. Don't worry, boss. I will definitely buy that painting for you at the lowest price." Masao Kameda assured, patted his chest.

After Masao Kameda knew that Feng Yu had bought two oil paintings at a high price at the auction, he told Feng Yu that the island country also had a lot of Western artworks, such as oil paintings.

The art market was not so good in the past few years, and the price of oil paintings fell. This year, there were signs of recovery, but because of the emergence of the Internet economic bubble, the price of art did not rise.

That is to say, in this auction, Feng Yu and Paul Allen are two alternatives. Otherwise, the price of this auction will not be very high. Some of the oil paintings in this auction were unsold at the last London auction. .

Feng Yu just asked casually,

What good oil paintings can an island country have? Masao Kameda told Feng Yu that at the end of the 1980s, many businessmen from island countries liked to collect artworks, so at that time, many western and oriental artworks fell into the hands of rich people from island countries. At that time, the island country had a lot of money.

Later, the island country's economy collapsed, and some works of art fell into the hands of bankers, mainly to pay off debts. As for debt repayment, the price of artworks will naturally become lower, and during this period of time, it has also entered the freezing period of island country artworks. At most art auctions, there will be a large number of unsold artworks. Set it too high, and no one bids at all.

Masao Kameda gave Feng Yu an example, saying that there was a Picasso work called "Pierrette's Wedding". This history will continue to be maintained.

But now, the estimated price of this oil painting in the bank collateral is less than 20 million US dollars.

In fact, the price evaluation of this oil painting is of course not so low, 20 million US dollars, there are still many art collectors who are willing to buy it, but the bank will not sell it, the mortgage price of this oil painting was more than 30 million US dollars. Woolen cloth. Besides, the bankers still considered the price of this oil painting to be more than 50 million US dollars in their minds, and they would definitely not sell it for 20 million US dollars. The price of less than 20 million US dollars is just an account.

When Feng Yu heard it, what is the name of this oil painting? "The Marriage of Pierrette"? The important thing is the word wedding, what a perfect occasion. And it belonged to Picasso, the most famous painter in modern history. Buy, must buy this painting!

Masao Kameda returned to the island country to find someone to discuss the purchase of "Pierrette's Wedding". Unfortunately, he was full of confidence when he came, but now he is a little embarrassed.

Originally, he thought that this painting could not be sold in the island country, and the price kept falling. Even if the bankers valued the painting very high, it would not exceed fifty million dollars.

But now, they actually bid 60 million dollars directly!

A few years ago, this painting was worth 40 million U.S. dollars and no one cared about it, so the price kept falling.

Why did those bankers dare to bid such a high price? Because they say that the spring of art has come, and the price of oil paintings will rise again. The auction of Sotheby's in New York a few days ago is proof!

Masao Kameda was very helpless. Of course he knew why the price of the auction reached a new high. It was not because the boss raised the price in order to buy an oil painting for Mr. Kirilenko as a wedding gift.

Is this shooting yourself in the foot, because the boss raised the price, and the price of "Pierrette's Wedding" was also re-evaluated.

Kameda Masao kept lobbying, wanting to lower the price, but the bankers were determined not to lower the price. The painting originally belonged to people from the Lingmu Consortium. After changing hands twice, it fell into their hands.

Recently, the stock prices of Internet technology companies have plummeted, and their investments have also lost a lot. They just want to use this to make up for it.

After waiting for two days, there was still no news. Feng Yu couldn't bear his temper and called Masao Kameda to ask if he had bought the painting.

"Boss, things have changed."

"Why, don't they sell it?" Feng Yu asked anxiously. It doesn't matter if you don't sell it, he must buy this painting.

"It's not that they don't sell it, but that their asking price is too high. They said that this year's Sotheby's auction proved that the price of oil paintings will increase." Masao Kameda explained awkwardly.

"How high? Is it more than 100 million US dollars?"

"Well, it's not. They asked for 60 million US dollars, and now I've got 55 million US dollars. The boss gives me some time, and I'm sure I can keep the price down."

"It's okay, I just bought it." Feng Yu said proudly. Regardless of the price of this painting at other times, the price Feng Yu bought was the favor price given to Kirilenko. It doesn't matter if it is tens of millions of dollars more, as long as it is unique.

"Boss, is it enough for you to give Mr. Kirilenko an oil painting?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then I have another plan. Use another painting in your hand to exchange this "Pierrit's Wedding" with them, and let them add some other artworks. I am in their artwork list Among them, I saw some antiques belonging to China."

An antique that belongs to China? Then Feng Yu is really interested in changing it back.

"Okay, you make the decision. If necessary, you can add some cash. You are very considerate about this matter."
