Chapter 460 400 Times Profit Business

After talking with Frank, Li Changheng went back to the restaurant first.

Annie and Annie, who never broke their smiles, finished lunch, and the two of them were in the car, one wearing a top hat and sunglasses.

One wrapped his head and side face with a silk scarf and wore the same style of sunglasses, under the protection of Zhang Tianzhi, Harry and other five people.

Not only did I go to the Eiffel Tower, but I also went to the Louvre, which Anne has always wanted to visit, but has never been.

And Li Changheng originally planned to look at the glass pyramid, and then think of Da Vinci's code, but he came outside the Louvre.

Only then did he realize that it would take at least ten years before he could see the glass pyramid.

At 9:30 the next morning, as soon as the three Rolls-Royces appeared outside the Virgil auction, dozens of reporters immediately rushed over to surround the car in the middle, taking pictures and shouting various questions.

Fortunately, the auction house was quite strong. More than a dozen security guards rushed up to help block the reporters, allowing Zhang Tianzhi and Harry to easily protect Li Changheng and Annie and enter the auction house.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw an old man wearing gloves, bowing his head respectfully to Annie.

"It's a great honor for you to come to the Virgil Auction House. Your Highness, I am the owner of this auction house and the chief purchaser, Virgil Oldman."

Annie nodded with a smile, and without taking off her gloves, she took the initiative to reach out and said, "Good morning, Mr. Oldman, haven't we seen each other for several years?"

"It should be 5 years." Virgil lowered his head and grabbed Annie's hand without taking off his gloves, and kissed her white gloves.

He said with a smile, "Thank you for remembering this problematic old thing."

Annie laughed at herself and said, "Actually, if possible, I would also like to learn from you."

Although the hand kiss was a courtesy, it was definitely not a good experience for Anne.

He took off his gloves and shook hands with the people behind Virgil one by one.

On the other hand, Li Changheng smiled and extended his hand to shake Virgil, and politely greeted the Captain Babus.

Then it was easy to see the hidden hostility towards him from the old man's smile.

And the next few middle-aged, or the same old guys, are more or less hostile and dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Li Changheng is no longer surprised by this matter.

Because of this look and attitude, he has seen too much from the eyes of the nobles and ordinary people in England.

I looked around and saw that there were no reporters at the scene, and no one was holding a camera.

They simply followed Annie with their hands behind their backs, not caring about any issues of etiquette, not only ignoring the incomprehensible arrogance of these Gallic roosters.

Taking advantage of his height, he looked down and just nodded to everyone, which was regarded as a greeting.

The faces of the angry Frenchmen changed, but they couldn't scold Li Changheng on this occasion, and they couldn't even accuse Li Changheng in front of Annie.

Li Changheng smiled at the bald man with the worst complexion, and when he thought Li Changheng was scared, he pouted with a mocking expression.

He didn't even nod, ignored him and nodded with the last person, and walked into the auction site holding Annie's hand.

As soon as Lee Jang Hyung left, Bald Rooster shouted at the others, "God, how dare he be so rude and ignore us."

These words immediately silenced everyone.

At the beginning of the auction, this group of people originally planned to target Li Changheng specifically, deliberately raising the price of the auction item he liked.

But soon these people discovered that Li Changheng did not quote at all, but handed over the sign in his hand to Annie.

Now Annie raises her placard for anything she is interested in.

Then when everyone thinks that she will be like Li Changheng, she will definitely get what she likes.

But she found that as long as she felt that the price exceeded her expectations, she would give up without hesitation, and then hugged Li Changheng's arm, smiling and whispering in his ear without knowing what to say.

NIM's.

The dozen or so Frenchmen who wanted to target Li Changheng suddenly lost the confidence and courage to not only unite on this occasion, but also specifically target Annie.

Otherwise, in tomorrow's newspapers, the French media will ridicule them, and the media in England and other countries will definitely extend the scope of this ridicule and contempt to men in France as a whole.

It is said that the men of the wealthy class in France are all rude and have no gentlemanly demeanor.

With these scruples, no one will deliberately raise the price again.

Only then did Anne really take a photo of an oil painting and a Galileo telescope.

About halfway into the auction, a picture looked a little dark. The oil painting of a young girl wearing an old court hat and a dull expression drawn by the artist on a wooden board was carried out by the staff.

Li Changheng, who was talking to Annie about the Galileo telescope, glanced at the oil painting and was taken aback.

Then after a little recollection, he quickly recognized this painting, which was the one valued by Virgil at 8 million pounds.

However, there is a V-shaped mark in the eyes of the oil painting girl, and the painting of Petrus Christie is deliberately described as an imitation of a female painter named Vivienne in the 16th century.

Not only did the other appraisers in the auction house have no doubts, even the appraiser that the owner found himself, because of the letter V, decided that it was the painting of Vivienne, who liked to imitate oil paintings and leave hidden marks.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Petrus-Christian has a painting very similar to the one sent for auction, which has been collected in a museum in East Germany.

The only difference between the two paintings is the necklace on the neck of the girl in the portrait.

But no one has thought about it, or no one can be sure, whether Vivienne did this on purpose, or whether Petrus Christie really painted two similar paintings.

And normally, the probability of the latter is very small.

There are so many doubts, and with the authority of Virgil, it will immediately make those who have doubts believe that it is an imitation.

And the starting price of 20,000 pounds is equivalent to lowering the real price by a full 400 times.

There is probably no industry in the world whose profits can exceed that of Virgil.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man could only go in and out, or because he had authenticated all these paintings, he wouldn't have dared to sell the oil paintings he had collected in the past.

Otherwise, Virgil must have been a super rich man with a net worth of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, the longer those paintings are kept, the higher the value.

When the oil paintings were placed on the exhibition stand, Virgil stood on the auction stand and explained, "The painting of a lady by the famous 16th-century imitator Vivienne.

The starting price is 20,000 pounds, and each increase is no less than 2,000 pounds. "

Li Changheng could clearly hear Virgil's speech speed up.

Needless to say, it is definitely to reduce the thinking time of other buyers.
