Chapter 639 Bull Head
The Cantons were obviously prepared, and everyone had a professional appraiser by their side.
When these people saw the paintings Qin Haodong took out, they immediately looked like people who had been hungry for so many days when they saw bread.
"Oh my God, this painting is amazing, I'm sure Picasso painted it by himself..."
"This piece of paper is the sketch paper of the Middle Ages, and it is impossible to imitate it..."
"Oil painting, this is Picasso's oil painting, there is his signature under it, it is definitely Picasso's font, I can recognize it..."
While appraising and appreciating, these people exclaimed from time to time.
Although Sir Owen did not have any zodiac signs to exchange for these Picasso paintings, he approached them to appreciate them.
In the entire hall, only Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang sat leisurely beside them, taking a sip from the red wine glass from time to time.
After a full 20 minutes, these talents slowly woke up from their excitement and rearranged the albums.
Qin Haodong glanced at Cantona and said with a smile, "Dear gentlemen, what do you think of my paintings?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's been a long time since we've seen such a perfect painting!"
Cantona was a bearded man who jumped up in excitement.
Qin Haodong said, "That means, there is no problem with my painting?"
"No problem, this is the real Picasso and we can exchange it now," Cantona said.
"Wait a minute." Qin Haodong said, "Everyone has seen my paintings, and I also need to look at your bronze heads of the zodiac, and I can exchange them only after confirmation."
"This is what it should be." Cantona waved to the appraiser behind him, and the other party reported a large box. When opened, it was a dog head of the zodiac.
Qin Haodong Yuanshen glanced at it, felt the fluctuation of the seal on the dog's head, and immediately determined that it was true.
He pretended to step forward and did some appraisal, and said, "Mr. Cantona, I like your bronze head of the zodiac very much, we can exchange it."
"Great, my God! You will be my friend from now on, and welcome to Europe!"
Cantona shook his beard excitedly, and reached out and grabbed the painting album: "I already have Picasso's sketches in my exhibition room, so I am very eager for his paintings, this album is mine."
Sir Owen said enviously: "Old friend, congratulations!"
Cantona said, "I would also like to thank you for helping me meet a big collector like Qin."
Seeing that Cantona took the picture album of the oil painting, others were envious, Joseph said, "Dear Mr. Qin, I also want to exchange these works with you, and I have brought the bronze heads of the zodiac, but there are Let me explain to you one thing first.
This bronze head of my Chinese zodiac is handed down from my ancestors and has been kept in the treasure house of our Joseph family, but I don't know why there is such one in the museum in China.
I think it's just true, so please take a look at Mr. Qin. If you don't mind, we will exchange. If you mind, I can only say sorry. "
Qin Haodong said, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Joseph, I can see if it can be exchanged."
He thinks that this Joseph is a good person, and if he has anything to say on the table, this straightforward personality makes him very fond of him.
Moreover, the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs in the Huaxia Museum are not necessarily real. For example, the dragon head is the real thing in his own hands, and the one in the museum was later forged.
Joseph asked his appraiser to put the box on the table and take out a rabbit head with a bronze head of the Chinese zodiac.
Qin Haodong's Yuanshen sensed it, and sure enough, it was the fluctuation of the seal on the rabbit's head. It seems that this one is indeed real, and the one in the Huaxia Museum can only be imitated later.
He used to play with the rabbit head in his hand, glanced at Joseph who was a little nervous and said, "I like this rabbit head very much, whether it's real or not, I'm willing to exchange it with you."
"Great Qin, this is really good news."
Joseph came over and hugged Qin Haodong, and gave him a fierce kiss on the forehead.
He has always longed for Picasso's paintings very much, and his heart has always been uneasy on the way here. Now he can finally officially exchange.
He gave the rabbit head to Qin Haodong, and then chose the children's picture book.
Two of the three have completed the exchange, leaving only the last Gombos.
Gumbos said: "Dear Mr. Qin, there is nothing wrong with my bronze head of the Chinese zodiac, and it has never appeared in a museum in Huaxia, so you can rest assured."
After he finished speaking, he asked his appraiser to put the box on the table and take out a bronze head of the Chinese zodiac.
When he saw this bronze head, Qin Haodong's expression changed, because it was a cow head. The real cow head is now in his storage ring, and the top-grade spirit stone has already been used, so this one is undoubtedly fake.
The Smiths once told him that the head of the cow was stolen from a rich man named Gombos, but many people in Europe called it by this name, and the Chinese people couldn't tell the difference, so he didn't pay much attention to it at first. I thought it was this Gombos.
"Mr. Qin, how is it? If there is no problem, this still life album is mine."
Gombos said that he reached out and grabbed the picture album. Just now, Qin Haodong looked at the two bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac, and he could see clearly. I understand Kai.
In this case, his bronze head naturally does not see any problems.
Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the album, Qin Haodong said in a cold voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gumbos, I don't like your cow head, so we can't exchange it."
Just kidding, when it comes to identifying the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs, there is no one more professional than him in the world. How could he be fooled by a fake bull head.
Gombos looked the same, then his face sank, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Qin, why is this? Why can other people's zodiac bronze capitals be exchanged? Only mine can't?"
Qin Haodong frowned. This old guy is really making fun of himself. He has already said it very euphemistically.
"Mr. Gombos, I have already said that I will change what I like, and I will not change what I don't like. I don't like your bull head, so I can't exchange it with you."
"No, this is inappropriate." Gumbos said with a gloomy face, "I am a well-known figure in Europe, and even in the world of collectors. You treat me like this, and people will mistake my head for a fake. It's going to take a toll on my reputation, so you have to trade with me."
Sir Owen said: "Mr Gombs, you needn't do this, perhaps you will get something better in the future."
He was a little dissatisfied with Gombos' behavior. Since people didn't want to exchange, why bother? The exchange was supposed to be consensual, it was not done by a gentleman.
Originally saying this, Gumbos should have got off the donkey, but this guy had no intention of restraining himself, and continued to shout, "No, it can't be like this, I think it's a humiliation to me."
Qin Haodong just got two high-grade spirit stones, and he was in a very happy mood, so he didn't want to bother with this old thing.
Since the other party is shameless, he doesn't need to continue to save face.
He said, "Mr. Gombos, since you say so, I regret to tell you that your bull head is a fake."
"What? How could the things I took out be fake? Do you know anything about identification? You must give me a reason for saying mine is fake."
Sir Owen said, "Yes, Mr. Qin, are you really right?"
In their circle, it would be a very shameful thing for anyone to take out fakes and exchange them with friends. He was afraid that Qin Haodong would say it out of anger.
"His bull head is indeed fake."
Qin Haodong said, "Because the real cow head is in my hands."
Cantona said: "Gombos, since Mr. Qin already has a cow's head in his hand, let's forget it."
He also felt that in such a private internal exchange, there was no need to say who was real and who was fake, otherwise it would not look good on anyone.
But Gumbos still said firmly: "This is not a reason at all. Why is the head of the cow in your hand not a fake? Why do you say that I am just a fake?"
Qin Haodong's face also turned cold. This guy who doesn't know how to advance or retreat is really annoying, and he obviously wants to exchange a fake cow head for his painting.
The Smiths stole the cow head from Gombos. He must have known that it had been lost. This cow head must have been imitated by him. He knew it was a fake and said so confidently. Essential problem.
He said coldly, "Are you sure you want me to prove it to you?"
"Of course, you can't say my stuff is fake for no reason. You should apologize to me now and complete the exchange."
The reason Gombos was so determined was because he was so confident.
This bull's head was made by him in exchange for Picasso's paintings. He has a master of counterfeiting under him. Generally, the fake antiques produced by this man have no flaws, and it is difficult for people to see through.
And Qin Haodong's performance was too casual, and he didn't look like a professional in terms of antiques at all, so he insisted again and again, trying to get Qin Haodong's paintings.
"Then I'll prove it to you."
After Qin Haodong finished speaking, he turned his head and pulled out the beauty thorn in Nalan Wu's hands, beheading the bull's head with one knife.
Under the perfusion of his infuriating energy, the beauty thorn was almost indestructible, and the head of the cow was cut in half with one knife.
