Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Paul Cézanne is a French Post-Impressionist painter, who is praised as the "Art Nouveau standard-bearer". As a pioneer of modern art, Western modern painters call him the "Father of Modern Painting".

Li Mo didn't understand the Western art market at all, so when Professor Qu and his wife said that the value of this painting may exceed one billion yuan, it must be a lie if they said they were not shocked. The number of national treasures in his hand is not small, but the most expensive one is the "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties", with a market price of more than 1.5 billion yuan.

Moreover, the "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties" was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, with a history of about 1,400 years, but the oil painting in front of me is only a hundred years old. And more than that.

"Dad, Mom, are you sure?"

Qu Yang didn't expect that a painting that the boss spent tens of thousands of euros on would be so expensive, which broke his perception of the value of antiques.

Professor Qu was a little entangled, he sighed softly and said, "Paul Cézanne's works are too expensive, to be honest, I'm not sure what to do now."

"Li Mo, we have preliminarily determined that this is the authentic product of Paul Cézanne. If we still need to verify it, we may need to invite experts from European museums to further confirm it."

Professor Zhao's eyes looked away a little bit longingly. They also studied Western oil painting, so they naturally highly respected those famous masters in history.

They were at a loss, but Li Mo was more at ease. This oil painting by Paul Cézanne is definitely a national treasure artwork in Europe. If the news spreads, those super rich people will flock to it. The amount of money is not important. The important thing is that with this oil painting, their identities are strong will be more elegant.

"Xiaojun, protect this painting first."

Next, Li Mo disassembled the second painting. The size of this painting is about 60 by 80 centimeters. It is an oil painting of portraits. This oil painting is an old man holding a pipe, sitting on a stone and silently looking into the distance , The clothes on his body are a bit worn out, with obvious wrinkles. There are clear forehead lines on the forehead, and the exposed skin is bronze-colored. The shoes on the feet have been taken off, and the thumb of the right foot is exposed.

But there was hope in his eyes. In front of him was a large mature wheat field, and the golden waves seemed to be fluctuating with the wind.

Li Mo really didn't feel much after watching it for a while, and he really couldn't appreciate Western art. But Professor Qu and his wife stared blankly at the second oil painting. They stood there for about five minutes, and then looked at each other the same way.

Professor Qu pointed to a spot in the corner.

"That's right, it's his signature."

This is a charade, Li Mo asked with a smile: "Professor Qu, Professor Zhao, what does this oil painting look like?"

Professor Qu glanced at Li Mo and asked in a deep voice, "Li Mo, where did you find this painting?"

"An antique market in London, Qu Yang has been with me all the time."

"Dad, does this oil painting have a big background?"

Professor Qu nodded and said, "Have you heard of the name Van Gogh?"

"I've heard of it. It was mentioned in my textbook when I was a child. His masterpieces include "Starry Sky" and "Sunflower." Qu Yang said here, his eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed to the oil painting in front of him and said, "Is it also a work of Van Gogh? ?”

"En." Professor Qu nodded, then shook his head, and then glanced at Professor Zhao, "First it was the works of Paul Cézanne, and now it is the works of Van Gogh. I don't know what to do."

"Van Gogh is the pioneer of Post-Impressionism in the Netherlands, and deeply influenced the art of the 20th century, especially Fauvism and Expressionism. The highest auction price of his works was nearly 900 million yuan, which was a record many years ago , is now estimated to be even higher."

Professor Zhao was full of admiration, this Li Mo is simply the reincarnation of a monster, and he actually bought two pieces of artworks of national treasure level from the London antique market.

Suddenly she thought of something, looked up at the dozen or so oil paintings protected by wooden frames not far away, and suddenly felt a turmoil in her heart. Could it be that these oil paintings found are the top western art?

There are also some sculptures whose works I don’t know?

If it is also from the hands of famous experts in Western history, then Li Mo's ability is too terrifying to speculate.

Even if there are only two famous paintings in front of you, they are enough to become the treasures of a Western art museum.

Li Mo couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, it was so cool, this second oil painting must be the work of Van Gogh.

Who is he looking forward to next?

"Professor Qu, let's continue to open the third oil painting."

"Li Mo, how about we go out to catch our breath first?"

Professor Zhao suddenly suggested.

"Okay, let's go out for a break then."

It seems that these two great professors were really stimulated just now, just like their reactions when he first showed the Ming Hongwu amphora in front of Professor Zhu and others.

"Mom and Dad, are you all right?"

Qu Yang asked with concern.

"Are these oil paintings expensive when you buy them?" Professor Qu asked his son.

"The most expensive one is only 70,000 to 80,000 euros, and the cheapest one is only a few thousand euros. I have been with the boss all the time, anyway, he just looked around and bought it."

Qu Yang was also very helpless. At that time, he was still wondering if the boss had too much money and was stupid, but now it seems that he is ignorant.

"Li Mo, I have a suggestion. We don't plan to continue appraising the remaining oil paintings and sculptures. You can directly invite appraisal experts from famous European museums to come and appraise them, and we can assist them."

Professor Qu went on to say: "This has two advantages. One is to tell the world through their mouths that there are more than one of their national treasure artworks in our country. Second, if you intend to sell them, then They will be very happy to introduce many super rich people for you. I can guarantee that once these two oil paintings are published, those rich people will definitely fight for their heads."

"The most important point is that if you intend to collect those European national treasure artworks, then how to preserve and maintain them, the experts in the West can give you the best advice, as long as you pay some beautiful cash.

Li Mo thought that Professor Qu's suggestion was very good. He thought of the bad treatment he received in London, and he had an idea in his mind.

Li Mo asked Chen Xiaojun to send Professor Qu and his wife back to Peking University, while he drove to his grandfather's house. Both Shibin and Shiyunli are here today, they don't know what they are talking about, and they laugh happily from time to time.

"What makes you so happy?"

Li Mo walked into the yard with a smile and asked.

Seeing that it was Li Mo, Shi Bin hurriedly walked towards him, gave him a big hug, patted him on the shoulder several times and said with a smile, "Good brother, welcome home."

"You guys don't act lightly or seriously, stand aside." Shi Lao blamed him a little, then smiled at Li Mo, "I'm going to introduce a marriage to Xiaobin, and the woman will come over at noon."

"No wonder you are smiling so happily. It's really a good thing. Congratulations."

Shi Yunli walked up to Li Mo, looked at him a few times and said strangely: "Should I call you Li Mo, or your brother?"

"This question is easy to choose. If you call me brother now, how about giving you a luxury house as a dowry when you get married in a few years?"

Li Mo stared at her with a smile.

Shi Yunli immediately shouted solemnly: "Brother, welcome home."

There was a burst of laughter immediately in the yard, and Shilao and Professor Yu were very happy. They also knew that Li Mo was rich, and what he said just now was not just casually.
