The Black Card - Chapter 802

[Chapter 800 Black Card’s Methods]

In the end, after more than 20 minutes of fierce competition, this painting of the five stars and twenty-eight constellations, which was re-identified as Wu Daozi’s early work, was auctioned for US$163 million. Incredibly high price.

And everyone discovered that the final winner was still the one who won the right to salvage the sunken ship.

This time, he did not try to use the same method again and shock everyone with an absolutely high price. Instead, like the rest of the people participating in the auction, he increased the price little by little by one million or two million each time.

As for this price, it’s not that no one can continue to raise the price. It’s just that everyone has taken turns to raise the price. Now, they feel exhausted. Is it possible that they really want to sell a fragment of the scroll for 200 million US dollars?

After taking such a painting back, the family has to build a safe that costs hundreds of millions just for it?

Moreover, this is the work of a painting saint. What should the country do if it opens its mouth?

Should it be handed over to the Palace Museum for collection?

Will the country be allowed to return the money to them then?

Under such circumstances, these rich people who were dazzled by the shocking news gradually calmed down, and the person who took away the right to salvage the sunken ship seemed determined to win the painting.

Ever since, everyone unanimously chose to give up.

“It’s this gentleman again, haha, it’s really amazing. A total of more than 300 million US dollars have been invested tonight.” The auctioneer was also sighing on the stage.

But the man stood up, smiled and cupped his hands around, and said: “I’m sorry, everyone, for taking away what you love, and thank you for not continuing to fight with me. But what you said, auctioneer, is wrong. Show your face. Above, I did invest more than 300 million U.S. dollars. However, what if the sunken ship is salvaged and its value exceeds 150 million U.S. dollars? Then, I only spent more than 100 million U.S. dollars tonight to take away this handed down painting by the painting saint. The price may even be only tens of millions of dollars.”

Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this person’s bid was extremely determined.

However, this is actually not true. If after the sunken ship is salvaged, it is found that the contents are worthless, wouldn’t it be equivalent to spending more than 300 million to buy a painting by Wu Daozi?

There is no such logic.

But no matter what, tonight’s auction came to a perfect conclusion. Everyone dispersed. The man who won two yuan also followed the auction house staff to the second floor and paid the remaining amount. Obtained the contract for the rights to salvage the sunken ship, as well as the true form of the five-star and twenty-eight constellations that was confirmed to be Wu Daozi’s early work.

There is no doubt that these two lots, regardless of the lot itself, the transaction price, and the meaning behind them, are the objects that the news must pursue.

As a result, the first pages of major websites that night had already reported heavily on this auction with extremely strict attendance limits.

The right to salvage the sunken ship, which should have caused the greatest sensation, was completely eclipsed by the news that the painting was handed down by the painting saint Wu Daozi.

Shi Lei knew nothing about this. After he ended the phone call with Ding Yu, he was so exhausted physically and mentally that he could no longer sit still for even a minute and fell directly onto the bed and fell asleep.

It wasn’t until he got up the next morning that Shi Lei saw the breathing light on his cell phone flashing. When he opened it, he found that Liu Qian and Liu Zhen had each made several calls to him. Even their daughter Liu Jiani. I also called myself.

There are also more than ten messages on WeChat, all from this family of three.

Shi Lei glanced at it for the first time and was stunned.

“Huh? The true form of the five stars and twenty-eight constellations?”

After reading the WeChat messages of this family of three, Shi Lei felt a little unbelievable and opened the browser. After a casual search, he saw overwhelming news about the masterpieces handed down by the painting saint Wu Daozi.

Shi Lei was also stunned.

He had handed over this painting to the scepter and the black card in Japan. The black card was supposed to be returned to him two days ago, but with his experience with the Ming Wanli blue and white porcelain, Shi Lei knew that the black card would be returned to him at an appropriate time. Give this painting back to yourself when the time comes.

Later, because Ding Yu’s call came in in advance, the ferryman came to see him again. Shi Lei plunged into the appraisal of the sunken ship, completely forgetting that there was such a thing.

He never imagined that Heika’s move to return the painting to him would be so big this time.

As for the porcelain vase last time, he just tried to get the curator of an art museum to return it to him.

What makes Shi Lei most incredible is that Heika actually used this method to help him solve one of his biggest problems, which was how to prove that this painting was made by Wu Daozi and not a copy by Liang Lingzhan.

After thinking about it, Shi Lei called Liu Zhen back first.

Liu Zhen had obviously been waiting for Shi Lei’s call. Once he got through, he didn’t ask why Shi Lei didn’t answer the couple’s calls last night, but said directly: “Mr. Shi Lei, you really proved that this painting belongs to Wu Daozi.” Work! How did you do it?”

Shi Lei said in his heart: How do I know how the black card did it?

The news only said that the latest scientific methods can be used to date, and the date can be accurate to a specific year, coupled with the identification of more than fifty experts, scholars and masters, but how could Shi Lei have the ability to contact so many people? Experts and scholars?

So, he could only say: “I want to say that I don’t know. Will you believe it, Ms. Liu?”

“Nonsense!” Liu Zhen’s mood was extremely high. She smiled and cursed, “How on earth did you do that?” ?”

“Actually, this painting was handed over to a very respected senior before I returned to China, and he had full authority to handle it. I really had no idea what happened yesterday.”

Liu Zhen was shocked when he heard this: “What? You don’t know Love? So you mean that respected senior sold your painting?” “

I believe he must have his own plans. I personally prefer that he just used this method to announce this painting to the world. The true appearance.

” “But this painting has been taken away by others!”

Shi Lei also felt at a loss about this, but he still insisted: “I believe that this painting will be back in my hands soon.” Shi Lei I believe that no matter what means Heika uses, the person who took the picture will definitely give it to him. Of course, this does not need to be known to the outside world.

“I hope so, but Mr. Shi, the world is dangerous and people’s hearts are dangerous. You…sigh…” Liu Zhen didn’t know what to say.

Shi Lei smiled calmly, it was only more than 100 million US dollars, and it was nothing to black cards.

He said calmly: “Let’s do this. When this painting comes back to my hands, I will definitely invite the virtuous couple and their daughters to appreciate it.”

Liu Zhen: “…” She had nothing to say and didn’t understand where Shi Lei’s confidence came from. Come.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei took a shower and thought about whether he should go to Scepter to find out.

But when he came out of the shower and wiped his wet hair with a towel, he heard the hotel doorbell ring.

I looked through the peephole and saw an unknown person.

Shi Lei asked through the door: “Who is it?”

The other party said: “The person who returned the painting.”

Shi Lei smiled, and sure enough, Heika just used that person’s hand to announce that the painting had returned to China, and that it was Wu Daozi The original painting, now, someone has come to return it.

After opening the door, the man didn’t intend to enter. He just handed a painting tube to Shi Lei and said, “Mr. Shi, please check and accept it.”

Shi Lei didn’t answer and asked, “Are you…?”

“Organization “

Please let me return this painting. I don’t know anything else, so Mr. Shi shouldn’t ask any more questions.”
