Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Second sister-in-law Gu and her daughter Gu Jiajia looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Li Mo, are you saying that this "Six Dragons" is an authentic antique?"

"Of course, I'm sure it's an authentic painting by the Southern Song Dynasty painter Chen Rong." Li Mo wanted to appreciate it more carefully, but looking at the faces of mother and daughter, it seemed that there was something more important behind the painting.

So I rerolled the "Six Dragons" and put it into a long box.

"Second Sister-in-law Gu, this authentic work was originally collected in the Imperial Study Room of the Qing Dynasty and belonged to Emperor Qianlong. He was a stamping madman, and he directly stamped all kinds of seals and seals. Later, the award entered Prince Gong's Mansion. . It is said that in order to help Puyi's restoration to raise military funds, Prince Gong sold a large number of antique calligraphy and painting collections in Prince Gong's palace, a large part of which was sold to the island country's antique merchant Yamanaka Seijiro, and then was taken to the island country to build the Fujita Museum of Art. Collected."

He was still somewhat impressed by this painting.

"Later, due to poor management, the art museum had serious financial problems, so it appeared at an auction in New York. The final sale price was nearly 43 million U.S. dollars. Including commissions, it was close to 48 million U.S. dollars. US dollars, converted to about 350 million yuan. "

"350 million yuan?"

Gu Jiajia covered her mouth and exclaimed. This price that broke the sky really touched her soul and heart.

"This price is still the auction price six or seven years ago. If it goes up for auction now, it might easily exceed 400 million yuan." Li Mo saw that they were all shocked and couldn't help but curiously asked, "This painting " "Six Dragons" is the pinnacle of dragon painting in the Southern Song Dynasty. It plays an important role in the history of Chinese ink painting. Whoever took the picture must have kept it secretly as a unique treasure. How could it be in your hands? "

This painting was definitely not taken by them. Although they have money, they are not crazy enough to spend 350 million yuan to buy an ancient painting. If he really had that tyrannical strength, Gu Er Ge would have asked Li Mo for advice given his cautious character, and would not have secretly taken pictures of the authentic ancient paintings.

Since they didn't take the photo, how could it appear in their hands?

"Uncle Li, to be honest, I found this painting at an antique market when I was studying abroad in the United States."

"Did you find it? How much did it cost?"

"It cost 10,000 US dollars. During the transaction, the other party looked nervous and a little anxious. It seemed that he just wanted to make a move as soon as possible."

Good guy, this is a big deal. It only cost 10,000 U.S. dollars at first, but now it may be sold for 40 to 50 million U.S. dollars, which is a profit of more than 4,000 times. This is a truly rare treasure.

"Listening to your description, there is probably something wrong with the person who took action. This "Six Dragons Picture" was probably stolen by him. Of course, the other party must not be familiar with the true value of this ancient painting, otherwise it would not be possible. It will be sold so cheaply.”

Li Mo looked at the "Six Dragons" in the box again and asked, "Did something happen to this ancient painting now?"

Gu Jiajia nodded worriedly.

"Uncle Li, I spent 10,000 US dollars to buy this painting and then returned to school. I don't know what I was thinking at that time. I took it out like a show off and let my classmates appreciate it. No. I thought of someone from the authorities coming to me a few days ago and saying that someone in the United States had tracked it to me, saying that the ancient painting I bought at that time was stolen and that the original owner had been identified with me. "

No wonder they were anxious. It turned out that the original owner of "Six Dragons Picture" had traced all the way to the country based on the clues found, and successfully locked in Gu Jiajia. If this matter is not handled well, big problems will arise.

"Although the official people are not pressing hard, it seems that someone above has been putting pressure on you. Jiajia and I were desperate and took the liberty to disturb you."

Sister-in-law Gu really had no choice but to suspect that Brother Gu's car accident was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately.

"Uncle Li, once the official's big hat is suppressed, we will be finished in this life." Gu Jiajia is very worried that the final result will develop in the opposite direction, "If this "Six Dragons" is fake, If the authorities want it, just give it to them. It’s useless for us to keep it, and the maximum loss is 90,000 yuan. If it is true, they will definitely not be able to hand it over.”

"The official asked you to hand it over. Have they seen this painting?"

"How could I take it out? I'm not in the United States. They can be shameless and use any means they want to do."

Li Mo thought for a while and then said: "If they haven't seen it, then you just refuse to admit it. Besides, who knows whether this painting is true or false. If it doesn't work, you can find someone to copy a similar painting. If the official asks again, just give the copy of the painting to the other party, because the one you bought is fake. Besides, even if the other party comes up with real evidence, it is only their own. With all the evidence we have found, can we still be afraid of them being arrogant and domineering here?”

Gu Jiajia looked at Sister-in-law Gu, who understood and said: "Li Mo, you also know that we are all rough people and don't know how to collect and maintain precious antiques, especially antique calligraphy and paintings. The collection environment requires more High. If you are willing to accept it, I can transfer it to you for 300 million yuan."

"You want to transfer this "Six Dragons" to me, did I hear you correctly?"

The surprise came too fast and too violently.

"Yes, it only costs 300 million yuan." Sister-in-law Gu continued a little embarrassed, "But the trouble may be transferred to you later."

"Am I still in trouble?" Li Mo waved his hand. This little thing would indeed be very troublesome for ordinary people. But if they dare to pursue and ask for it, they will fight back tenfold or a hundredfold.

"Li Mo, this money will be temporarily placed with you. Otherwise, the huge amount of money entering the account will definitely trigger the bank's warning line, and it will be even more troublesome at that time."

Sister-in-law Gu is still very sober. Since she wants to stay out of the matter, the 300 million funds cannot be touched for the time being.

"That's okay. If you trust me, I will accept this "Six Dragons". You can make up your mind later. Just let me know when you need the money."

Li Mo's arrival temporarily helped them deal with their current predicament. Sister-in-law Gu and her daughter let out a long breath one after another. As long as the painting was in Li Mo's hands, there must be no one in the world who can withstand her anger.

"Second Sister-in-law Gu, you will stay in the Magic City tonight. If you have time tomorrow, you can go shopping here."

Gu Jiajia shook her head slightly: "We have to rush back to Jinling tonight because the authorities have their eyes on us."
