MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 6

Li Mo didn't know him, but Liu Chuanqing knew him very well, so he hurriedly introduced: "Xiao Mo, this is Mr. Gu from Jinbaoli Auction House in Shanghai. Ask Mr. Gu for advice."

   "Hi, Mr. Gu." Li Mo is very humble. Such a person has a lot of resources. If they have a good relationship, they can entrust their auction house to operate any good things in the future, and they can maximize their profits.

"I'm far inferior to you, Lao Liu, in terms of appreciating treasures, but in terms of business, you can't catch up with me on horseback." President Gu smiled and looked at Li Mo, "That great collector in Kyoto has been entrusting me. If you find a good calligraphy and painting, you can contact him as soon as possible. If you make a move, I can guarantee the highest price in the market."

   I am really envious of all the people who died at the scene. They can have tens of millions of net worth in a blink of an eye at a young age. They are still noobs at this age.

   "To tell you the truth, my ideal is that I will only consider collecting antiques worth over 100 million yuan or unique orphans in the world. Besides, I don't have the conditions to collect them at present. This pair of master Xu Beihong's authentic painting of two horses is ready to sell."

   "Haha, it seems that someone has a treat at noon today."

  The atmosphere in the private room immediately became lively.

"Yesterday, I just bought that gourd vase with pink and green glaze engraved with lotus patterns carved from Qianlong in Qing Dynasty from Xiaomo, and today this kid actually threw another big bomb." Boss Wang patted Liu Chuanqing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Old Liu , I think you can consider retiring and travel around the world."

   "The younger generation is lucky. Don't praise him like that. This kid will be proud. Don't save money for him in the Juxian Building opposite at noon today."

"Little Mo, how much did you spend to find this pair of steeds?" President Xu asked curiously. It has always been a good talk in the antique world about picking up and missing, let alone Li Mo picked it up twice in two days. Leak, this is simply a blessing of good luck.

   "I bought three paintings for twelve thousand, and the other two are just fakes."

  Li Mo has the essence of picking up leaks.

   After a meal at noon, Li Mo left a deep impression on everyone. Mr. Gu of Jin Baoli was amazingly efficient in handling affairs. Before leaving, he told Li Mo that the big collector in Kyoto had sent someone to come to Shanghai by plane, and they would meet at around six o'clock in the evening.

  On the way back to Gu Yunxuan, Li Mo looked very relaxed with the picture of two steeds in his arms, but Liu Chuanqing looked left and right, his expression tense, with thirty to forty million famous paintings on his body, he could not calm down.

   "Master, how is Mr. Gu?"

   "Word of mouth is good, and the network is very strong. Once your business is negotiated, he will be paid at least 500,000 yuan as a broker. This person is worthy of deep friendship. You will have the opportunity to get in touch with him more in the future."

   "Master, if you say that I have survived a catastrophe, there must be future blessings."

"Little Mo, wealth can make people confused, corrupt, and lose themselves. Although you are very young, Master believes that you can keep your heart." Liu Chuanqing's tone was full of worry. Li Mo was only eighteen years old, and he was younger than himself His daughter is still a few months younger, and apart from those born rich second generations, rich third generations, etc., he can be said to be second to none among his peers.

   "Master, you have to trust your own vision."

  Liu Chuanqing laughed loudly, put his arms around his neck and said, "Are you bragging about yourself, or master?"

  Back to Gu Yunxuan, the teacher who was still complaining was stunned for a few minutes before recovering when she heard that the painting returned by Li Motao was authentic and worth more than 30 million yuan.

  At around six o'clock in the evening, Gu Fengxian brought three people to Gu Yunxuan. Through the introduction, one of the women in her thirties was the life secretary of the big collector in Kyoto, and the other two were specially invited calligraphy and painting identification experts. The purpose of their trip was to determine the authenticity.

   "Mr. Li, my boss told me that as long as it is the authentic work of Master Xu Beihong, I will never treat you badly in terms of price." The woman dressed smartly and spoke simply and clearly.

  Li Mo didn't say much, and directly showed the picture of the pair of horses.

   "You two, please make an appraisal."

   "Secretary Su is polite."

The two experts put on clean white gloves and began to identify the painting. After about ten minutes, the two discussed in a low voice. One of the experts surnamed Niu said: "It is indeed the original work of Master Xu. It is different from the previous one. Compared with the picture of a horse in my collection, this one is a bit more sophisticated in terms of layout and structure."

   "This picture of two horses is about 30 square feet. The picture is intact and undamaged, and the craftsmanship of the mounting is relatively high. It may be due to lack of maintenance. The corners of the painting are slightly worm-eaten, but it can be repaired without affecting its value."

   "Okay, now that it's been confirmed, let's go to the transaction stage. Mr. Li, you are the owner of this painting. According to the boss's explanation, combined with the current market conditions, we are willing to offer a price of 1.2 million per square foot."

The big collector is courageous, and Li Mo also roughly understood the market in the afternoon. The price is very reasonable, even slightly high. The other party seems to have suffered a small loss, but as time goes by, the appreciation potential of this pair of horses will get higher and higher.

   The contract in duplicate was signed quickly, and Secretary Su called to notify the transfer. Soon, I received a reminder from the bank that the huge sum of money had already been deposited into the private account.

"Mr. Li, I would like to remind you that you'd better go to the bank early tomorrow morning to open the VIP channel. There will be a dedicated account manager to serve you. If there is a large amount of money in or out of the account in the future, the account manager can handle it for you in time. All right."

  Li Mo thought that this is really the case. The sudden deposit of 36 million funds into his account must have been noticed by the banking system at this time.

   "Thank you, Secretary Su, for reminding me."

   "I look forward to another opportunity for us to cooperate."

  The three came in a hurry and left in a hurry. They had to catch the last flight back to Kyoto overnight.

   After they left, Li Mocai slumped on the recliner, breathing heavily.

   "Xiaomo, what's wrong with you?" Teacher Song Yuanning jumped.

   "Don't panic, let him lie down for a while and calm down." Liu Chuanqing chuckled, "Heat up the leftovers at noon, make an exception today and let Xiaomo drink a little wine, after tonight it will be normal."

   "Master, I want to drink cold beer."

"Can."

  Wine is a good thing. After drinking half a bottle, Li Mo recovered and returned to normal.

   "Xiao Mo, we will leave for Kyoto tomorrow afternoon. We have already contacted Professor Zhu of Peking University in the morning. You have to be mentally prepared. This interview will be more complicated."

   "Soldiers come to cover up the water and cover it with soil, and play it by ear during the interview." Li Mo had a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs stuffed in his mouth, and his chopsticks had already reached for the spiced pork head.

   "Whoever stole it from you, you can't eat it slowly." Liu Chuanqing really convinced this apprentice, that mouth is so delicious. He thought the braised vegetables in Gongtingji were average, but Li Moleng didn't feel bored after eating them for seven or eight years.

   "Master, you don't understand, the biggest dream in my life is actually to eat all the delicious food in the world, but I just haven't had the time to realize it."
