Golden Fishery

After the chat, Qin Shiou remembered the letter he found together with the painting, and he took it out and asked, "Who has better eyes, come and have a look at this letter, I believe this letter is also a treasure."

The letter seemed to be in English, but I was too scribbled, and the grammar was different from modern English. Qin Shiou couldn't understand it, so he kept it on hold.

Little Blake took a look at it and said: "Oh, this is Dutch, which belongs to the Indo-European language family-Germanic language family-West Germanic branch. It is between German and English, which belong to the same Germanic language family. The language is closer to English, hey..."

As he said that, Little Black suddenly frowned. He read the letter carefully, then raised his head and smiled in surprise: "Qin, you are right, this is indeed a treasure! This is a letter written by Van Gogh himself. To my brother Theo!"

Upon hearing this, Krzyzewski and others surrounded him. Qin Shiou couldn't understand it, so he asked Little Blake to read it to him.

"Dear brother, see Xin'an, I'm in Arles in the south of France now..."

"Don't worry about me, my brother, I'm fine now, at the Benedictine Monastery at Montmajou..."

"It's a beautiful place. At sunset yesterday, I was on a stony moor where stunted oaks grew in twists and turns. There was a ruin on a hill far away, and fields of wheat in the valleys. So romantic. In Monticelli, the sun lavishly sprinkles the shrubs and the earth with golden light, everything is shrouded in gold. How beautiful the lines are, and the whole scenery reveals a charming noble temperament ..."

"My inspiration was touched, and I wanted to make a painting of it. I also finished this painting. But I am not satisfied, the color transition is not very good. The style of painting is also a bit dark. But my brother, I am very happy now. Creating this painting in Montmajour gave me a lot of inspiration..."

"Believe me, my brother, your brother is about to become a world-famous painter! May God bless you, may you always be healthy and happy, and my soul will always be with you, Amen. Vincent Vatican high."

Little Blake recited slowly, and everyone else listened quietly. Qin Shiou closed his eyes, and vaguely saw a lonely and sad middle-aged man standing on the wilderness at sunset. In front of him, oak trees on the left and wheat fields on the right.

As the saying goes, hell goes to the left, heaven goes to the right...

After reading the contents of the letter, Little Blake put the letter paper on the painting carefully, and said: "Van Gogh is right, he has indeed opened up a new era of painting style since this painting, and he has indeed become a world-famous great painter. .It's a pity he didn't wait. If he can be as tough as Picasso, just wait another ten years,

He can see the scene where he is worshiped by artists all over the world! "

The last group of people left the basement, and Krzyzewski said to Qin Shiou: "With this letter, the identity of this painting is even more unquestionable. What you have to consider now is whether to sell it or collect it, nothing else Need to think more."

Little Black and Billy also looked at Qin Shiou. The two were not so philistine, and Blake Jr. persuaded him: "Qin, please collect it, the value of this painting will continue to increase. And it has special significance, this is a transformational work of Van Gogh..."

"Can this special meaning help us to auction it for a higher price?" Qin Shiou laughed.

Favorite this painting? Forget it, the family already recruited thieves, and hanging a famous painting worth forty to fifty million would be putting himself on fire, so he didn't do that.

As for depositing the painting in a bank or a museum? Then why not save it in cash? When the painting appreciates in value, no, Qin Shiou would rather sell the painting and invest in the fish farm, which will increase in value faster.

When Qin Shiou said that, Little Blake and Billy also laughed, thank God, the money will be distributed soon.

After dinner in the evening, Qin Shiou arranged for a few people to live in—the accommodation in the town is tight now, but many people are using their brains. Almost every household in the town provides accommodation, allowing tourists to experience the pure North American small town life, which is comparable to domestic farmhouses. The same is true.

It is still very convenient for Qin Shiou to find a hotel, he is too embarrassing in the small town now.

Back at the villa, Qin Shiou put the Poseidon consciousness into the fishing ground as soon as he lay down on the bed. Swimming in the ocean with the Poseidon consciousness has become one of his pleasures.

The squid labor group had arrived near the wreck of the Titanic, and Qin Shiou asked them to choose a place to live, and then slowly clean up the Titanic.

Under the transformation of Sea God's energy, the squids are full of vitality and grow rapidly. When they were first discovered, the largest tentacles of these squids were only more than one meter long. Now they are generally more than two meters long, and some even grow to more than three meters. .

Qin Shiou thought, will these squids become king squids one day?

If that's the case, it will be overbearing. Five hundred calamari, each with a tentacle of twenty or thirty meters long, can fight even if they encounter a battleship.

Poseidon returned to the fishing ground consciously, and Qin Shiou first encountered a group of steelhead trout, which had just migrated back from the river. This fish, like the salmon, lives in the river and grows in the sea. It migrates along the river every autumn to mate and lay eggs, and then returns to the sea before winter.

The ocean in winter is much warmer than the river, which is more suitable for the survival of these fish.

Seeing a large group of small steelhead trout following behind, Qin Shiou sprinkled some sea god awareness and called for two sea pythons to come over for protection.

Without protection, these small trout are food for large cod and bluefin tuna, and you will eat them all in a few days.

When he arrived near the coral reef, Qin Shiou was accompanied by some small steelhead trout, and they wandered happily.

Some aquatic plant-like creatures more than half a meter long fell vertically from the upper seawater. Qin Shiou didn't pay attention at first, but he found that the heads of these creatures were changing color, turning into a reddish brown similar to that of small steelhead trout.

Sea chameleon? Qin Shiou became curious.

These aquatic plants floated into the school of small trout, and then a predation began. These 'water plants' suddenly began to twist, and their heads, which were similar in color to the small trout, opened, and swallowed the small fish around them into their mouths .

This is trumpet fish, right? Qin Shiou guessed their identities when he saw their predation methods. The trumpet fish has a slender body and likes to live in coral reefs. It then camouflages itself as coral or seagrass to hunt for food.

Qin Shiou didn't drive away the trumpet fish, which is a normal chain of marine life. Later, in the offshore waters, a group of mollusks similar to loaches appeared on the bottom of the sea. Qin Shiou thought they were American eels and ignored them.

He turned around and found that there was no problem, so he continued to follow Hei Bawang to play in the deep sea.

The next day, Little Black approached Qin Shiou to discuss the handling of Van Gogh's paintings. The auction was certain, but there were no good opportunities now. It was almost mid-November, and the autumn auctions of large auctions had all ended.

"Then wait for next year's spring auction." Qin Shiou was not in a hurry to spend the money, "Don't you have a spring auction in April at Ricci's Auction House?"

Little Black and Billy felt that this was better, so they agreed with a smile on their faces. Little Black then left with the painting. Although it was still a long time before the spring auction, it was time for publicity work. ,

It is true that the more publicity the higher the price. (To be continued..)
