Chapter 787 Closing the Transaction
Seeing that the two appraisal experts had finished their discussion, Vincent quickly asked, "Mr. Fred, do you know if your appraisal results have come out?"

Fred nodded and said, "We agree that this work is indeed Da Vinci's authentic work!"

Hearing the conclusion given by Fred, Vincent was very pleasantly surprised, but he did not get carried away. Since it is an appraisal, no matter whether it is right or wrong, he must give the corresponding reason, so he hurriedly asked: "Freid Mr. Rhett, I don't know if you can explain why?"

"Of course it's possible!"

Fred said with a smile: "Let me just talk about painting techniques. First of all, you may have heard that Leonardo da Vinci analyzed the relationship between painting and reality based on the viewpoint that 'all our knowledge comes from perception', pointing out that Nature is the source of painting, and painting is the imitator of nature."

"In addition, he further elaborated: 'A painter's heart should be like a mirror, transforming itself into the color of the object, and taking in the image of all objects in front of it as it is. You should know that if you are not a person who can reproduce nature with art A versatile expert in all forms is not a brilliant painter." That is to say, painting is the nature reflected in the painter's heart, and it is reproduced by means of art."

Speaking of this, Fred pointed to the oil painting on the table and said: "And this "Madonna and Child with St. Anne, St. John the Baptist" just interprets this point of Leonardo da Vinci, faithfully reflecting the nature. The shape of all things, combined with rich imagination, creates images that do not exist in nature."

"Secondly, Leonardo Da Vinci fully demonstrated the personality characteristics of each character through vivid descriptions of each character's clothing, expressions, and actions... In addition, he also enthusiastically praised the eyes and vision..."

"Da Vinci also pioneered the light-dark transfer method, that is, the transition from light to dark on the portrait is continuous, and there is no clear boundary like smoke. Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and "Madonna and Child and Santa Ana" It is a model of using the light and dark transfer method. And the work in front of me just shows this very well..."

Next, Fred gave a very detailed introduction to Da Vinci's painting skills and the various characteristics of this painting. Finally, he concluded: "In summary, we can be very responsible to determine that this work It is the real work of Da Vinci! It is a pity..."

Vincent was quite excited and excited at first, but when he heard Fred say "It's a pity", his heart suddenly "thumped", and he hurriedly asked, "What is it a pity?"

"This painting is not finished!" Ferrett shook his head and sighed, his expression looked very pity, and the appraiser next to him also looked very pity.

Vincent was speechless for a while. If the painting was finished, it would not be his turn to come over. However, when he mentioned that the painting was not finished, he immediately thought of another question and asked, "Mr. Fred, what do you think of this work?" Why was the painting not finished?"

Fred said: "I think this matter is easy to understand. Although this work uses the light and dark transfer method pioneered by Leonardo da Vinci, it does not perform well in some places. Come to think of it, Da Vinci is based on this aspect. This painting was abandoned for some reason. But precisely because of this, this painting is a very large study of Leonardo's painting skills."

Speaking of this, Fred's expression became frenzied, and he was no longer as calm as before. He turned his head and asked Chu Chen next to him: "Mr. Chu, I would like to ask, can you make this picture Tell me about the origin of the work?"

"Mr. Ferrett, I'm really sorry. I can only say that I bought this work from an official channel. As for other things, I'm sorry I can't tell you. As a professional appraiser, you should know this too. Some rules."

Chu Chen shook his head with a smile, clearly expressing his refusal. If he was in the country, he could have picked up the leak, but this is not his territory after all.Besides, this work is still hidden in another painting. If Nan Nancai finds out the truth, it will definitely turn from jealousy to hatred. In addition, Nan Nancai may have some complicated backgrounds, which may cause extra problems , he didn't want any accidents to happen.

"Mr. Chu, forgive me for taking the liberty..."

In terms of the source of the other party's antiques, foreign countries are actually similar to domestic ones, and foreign countries pay more attention to personal protection. Therefore, after hearing what Chu Chen said, Fred quickly apologized to Chu Chen.

As soon as Fred finished speaking, Vincent hurriedly said, "Come with me..."

After finishing speaking, Vincent greeted Chu Chen, and then took the two appraisal experts he brought to the side to discuss for a while.As for the content, Chu Chen basically guessed it. Vincent just wanted to ask the experts for a quotation for this work.

After a while, Vincent walked up to Chu Chen with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Chu, let's talk about the deal..."

For Chu Chen and Vincent, they had no objection to the value of the Da Vinci work, but because Vincent didn't want to produce too many top porcelains, they fell into a stalemate for a while, but the deal was a compromise between the two parties In the process, the two took a step back in the end, and the ending was quite happy.

After lunch, a group of people came to Vincent's manor. At this time, there were two guests in the manor, a man and a woman. After Vincent introduced them, Chu Chen found out that these two people were from a notary in Paris. employees.

After Chu Chen's party greeted the notary, Vincent said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Chu, let's go to my treasure room to pick out antiques. It can be packed."

"Can……"

Afterwards, Vincent took Chu Chen and several staff members to his treasure room. As for the appraisal experts and notaries, let them wait outside. Vincent is not worried about too many people leaving. Into his treasure room.

Although the authenticity of the things has been verified with supernatural powers, Chu Chen still meticulously verified all the things involved in the transaction. After all, under the watchful eyes of everyone, some things still need to be done properly.

While Chu Chen appraised, the staff next to him carefully packed the antiques. After Chu Chen appraised the last throne, he smiled and said, "Mr. Vincent, it's ready!"

Vincent nodded happily, and waited for the staff to lift the box containing the cultural relics out of the treasure room before leading the two of them to a container truck outside.

"Mr. Chu, I have already packed all the porcelain that I presented to you in advance. In addition to the one hundred pieces of porcelain that I promised to give you before, I will present you with two hundred pieces of various cultural relics as a gift. I apologize to my grandfather for participating in that period of history. You can check the authenticity of things..."

"Thank you, Mr. Vincent, I think we can become good friends. I hope you will tell me in advance when you go to Huaxia next time. I will definitely treat you well. As for these things, there is no need to appraise them. I trust your credit..."

Chu Chen didn't expect that Vincent's work was so beautiful, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Vincent. As for the [-] cultural relics already packed in the container, he had already identified them with his abilities. They are all genuine products, and as Vincent promised before, each of the one hundred pieces of porcelain is worth more than [-] RMB.

Since Chu Chen's inspection process is omitted, the subsequent transaction process will be quite fast. After the two appraisers have passed the appraisal again and said that there is no problem, Chu Chen and Vincent will notarize the painting. Under the witness of the staff, the visa agreement was completed.

Because the value of the transaction between the two parties was not written in the agreement, the two notaries did not expect that the transaction amount was as high as more than 20 billion RMB. Therefore, when they issued the notarial certificate, this case would shock the world of antiques. The transaction was completed so quietly.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Chu Chen and Vincent shook hands with smiles on their faces, and they left with Wu Ke.

Chu Chen is quite satisfied with this transaction. Although the price of Da Vinci's painting may be higher than the collection he got this time, the painting is only For a semi-finished piece, Chu Chen felt that the appreciation potential in the future would definitely not be as high as the antique he got this time.

Therefore, both parties in this transaction have met their expectations, but it seems that Chu Chen has suffered a bit for the time being. Of course, he has not suffered much. After all, Chu Chen cannot be a fool. If it exceeds the bottom line in his heart, he will still trade.

After coming out of Vincent's manor, Chu Chen let the container truck loaded with priceless treasures go directly to the airport. He had already hired an advanced transport plane there through his uncle Zhao Qirui's friend, equipped with These cultural relics were directly shipped back to the country.

Originally, Vincent told Chu Chen that if there was any difficulty in transportation, he could help solve it, but Chu Chen politely declined the proposal.These things are now considered as Chu Chen's personal belongings. Youdao is not afraid of [-] yuan, but he is not worried about letting outsiders handle these things just in case.

When they arrived at the airport, a man in his 30s whom Chu Chen called earlier was already waiting for them there. Judging from the man's words and deeds, Chu Chen discovered that the man should have been a soldier. As for what kind of work the man did , Chu Chen didn't ask much, although in his capacity, it's okay to inquire, but there are some things that can be avoided when you go out.

Next, with the help of the man, Chu Chen's antiques passed through the customs at an astonishing speed, and were safely loaded onto the transport plane.Afterwards, after the man assured Chu Chen that the things would be delivered safely to the destination, he also boarded the transport plane together...
