459 Master with Psychological Problems

Li Changheng raised his hand and looked at his watch. It had been 4 minutes since he entered the bathroom.

If it drags on for too long, Zhang Tianzhi and the others will definitely come over to check it out.

"I don't have much time, so are you talking to yourself now, or are I going to find someone to check you out?

And you have to understand, I want to check you, even people from the French Ministry of Interior can find it.

You can definitely find out anything you have done in the past two years.”

"God," Frank complained, covering his head, "I shouldn't have come to you."

But Li Changheng didn't believe this bastard at all, and he still felt a little bit in his heart that Frank's goal might go to tomorrow's auction.

Sure enough, he saw him take out a photo from his shirt pocket.

He handed it to Li Changhengbian and explained, "This old man is called Billy Turner. He is an art collector, antique dealer and a poor painter who has no achievements.

He will definitely show up at the auction tomorrow.

As long as he quotes, you will follow.

Moreover, I promise that no matter how high the price you sell, as long as you buy it, you will definitely get at least 3 times or even ten times the profit.

If it turns out that I am wrong in the end, I will compensate you for any losses."

Li Changheng looked at the photo and was shocked.

Because although this old man is not famous in Hollywood, as long as someone who likes Theron must have watched him perform the role of "They's Day" and "Shifting Day".

And he played the role of Theron, who took a group of apprentices to steal an Italian bank, but was eventually betrayed. He appeared handsomely and went to see God's thief dad in fifteen minutes.

It's like he's in the Hunger Games trilogy.

By the way, I also starred in the Celestial Movie with Uncle Ge.

Li Changheng thought silently for a moment, and finally thought of the auction, he immediately thought of what the plot was.

When Frank saw that he didn't speak, he thought Li Changheng didn't believe him.

He hurriedly explained, "The second month after I was admitted to the Paris Academy of Arts, an old guy named Virgil Oldman came to the school to give a speech.

I didn't care at that time, and looking at the old guy's eyes and expressions, I knew that he was a conceited maniac.

So I left after listening for a few minutes.

But later I came to the magazine and found out that Vergil is well-known throughout Europe, and can even be said to be the best appraiser and auctioneer.

Since this old man is so powerful, I have to stay in the academy and avoid being suspected by the English because of theft of old banknotes in the Bank of England.

So, I might as well find a way to get close to Vergil and learn the ability to identify from him."

"But it took me half a year to apply for a job at an auction, but I couldn't impress Virgil, an old bastard with a weird temper, no matter spring and summer, he would have to wear gloves whenever he went out.

Until the special oil painting auction in December of the previous year, I accidentally saw Billy at the auction house and had a moment of eye contact with Vergill before the auction started.

Then he began to pay attention to both of them.

At that auction, I didn't care much about it after Billy took a painting that was identified by Vergill as an 18th-century painter and imitated the master painter.

After all, that painting is converted into US dollars, only 30,000 yuan, which is not a high price in the field of oil painting.

But in April last year, Billy took an oil painting that was also a portrait of a woman at the auction.

Combined with the previous oil painting that also depicts women, I understand that there may be clues here.

It took me more than two months to ask questions when different staff members from the auction house went out to drink or when they were partying.

The final conclusion was that in the past twenty years, the old man Billy had taken at least dozens of oil paintings all of the female protagonists.

Moreover, the prices of these paintings are all below 50,000 US dollars, or even thousands of US dollars.

If I hadn't had doubts in my heart, this wouldn't be a problem.

But since I suspected that Billy and Virgill were conspiring to make trouble, I spent another month investigating and finally found that all the oil paintings had never appeared on the market for more than 20 years.

As a Billy antique dealer, dozens of paintings have not appeared, and there is no record of re-auction. The probability of a problem here is very high.

Tomorrow, as long as you are at the auction, you will take away the oil paintings that Billy wants to take.

Maybe there will be a crack between the two of them, because based on my research on Vergill over the past two years.

The old guy is mean and scheming, and has communication and social barriers to women.

That's why he has never gotten married, and he has never heard of his girlfriend.

It is very likely that the women in the oil paintings are treated as wives or relatives.

Once he doesn't get the oil painting he values, such people with psychological problems will definitely take their anger on Bill.

At that time, we can use Bill as a breakthrough point, maybe,.”

"Okay, no need to say more."

Li Changheng interrupted Frank. While listening just now, he had already recalled all the plots.

And more than Frank knows, he also knows that in the future Billy will make his mind on Villgill's head.

Or the oil paintings that have been created for Vergill over the years.

As an antique dealer, even if Billy's identification level is not as high as Virgill, he is not a fool.

Over the past twenty years, dozens of paintings have entered Vergil's hands.

In addition, Virgil's reputation became increasingly popular. Even if he guessed, he could guess that those paintings were definitely not twice the price, and the prices were wrongly priced.

In addition, even if he couldn't identify the oil paintings himself, they were all masterpieces of masters or famous painters.

But after being in this industry for a long time, I must know that some owners who have famous paintings in their hands can have oil paintings too high, in order to prevent them from being targeted by the powerful.

A layer of oil painting will be covered with oil paintings for protection.

Or maybe because the owner died too suddenly, his family didn't know that the painting was a treasure and was not protected.

Once Virgil was invited to their house for identification, he would be covered with dust or damaged oil paintings all year round, and he could easily see who it was after.

After he used imitations to devalue his value and even let him find fake evidence that could be said to be imitations, other appraisers really dare not doubt his authority.

Then it was sent to the auction house for imitation and other reasons, and finally it was through Billy's hands and then became Vergill's collection.

No matter how stupid Billy is, he knows that he should be deceived by Vergil after a long time.

After all, when you help with this, when you give the painting to Villgil, Villgil will definitely give you a commission.

A painting with an auction price of 10,000 yuan, Virgill gave Billy double the final transaction price.

Billy would definitely be very excited at the beginning, and even wanted to come here a few more times.

But if he has been in the industry for a long time, his identification ability will be improved to a certain extent.

One day, I suddenly saw a problem in a certain oil painting and thought that the auction price was 10,000, but the real price should be 300,500,000, or even 1 million, anyone would feel that they had gotten too little.

Then I didn't think about living a wealthy life because of Vergill, earning tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
