Chapter 639 Ox Bronze Head Sculpture
Obviously, those people, including Cantona, were well-prepared. Each of them was accompanied by a professional appraiser.
When these people saw these paintings taken out by Qin Haodong, they immediately jumped on him as if they were people who had been hungry for many days and just seen bread. They looked at these paintings one by one.
“This painting is truly incredible. I’m certain that this is personally drawn by Picasso…”
“This piece of paper is a sketched paper of medieval times. One can’t make it even if they want to…”
“This is a Picasso’s oil painting. Below it is his signature. It’s true that it’s Picasso’s handwriting. I can recognize it…”
As these people appraised it, they admired it at the same time, and from time to time, they exclaimed in admiration.
Although Sir Owen did not have the bronze sculpted head for these Picasso paintings, he still went over to admire them.
Only Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang were sitting leisurely in the hall. From time to time, they would pick up wine glasses and take a sip.
After 20 minutes, these people slowly woke up from their excitement and reorganized these paintings.
Qin Haodong looked at Cantona and the others and said with a smile, “Dear gentlemen, what do you think of my paintings?”
“Great, it’s great. We haven’t seen such perfect paintings in a long time!”
As a bearded man, Cantona was so excited that the beard jumped up and down.
Qin Haodong said, “That is to say, there’s nothing wrong with my paintings?”
Cantona said, “No problem, this is the authentic work. We can exchange for them now.”
“Wait a minute.” Qin Haodong said, “You’ve all seen my paintings. I still need to have a look at your bronze sculpted heads. Only when I’m sure will I exchange them with you.”
“That’s okay.” Cantona waved to the appraiser behind him as he spoke. The appraiser approached with a big box, and when it was opened, it turned out to be a dog bronze head sculpture.
Qin Haodong looked around and felt the fluctuation of the seal on the dog bronze head sculpture. He was immediately sure that it was genuine.
He pretended to come forward to appraise it and said, “Mr. Cantona, I like your bronze head sculpture. We can exchange.”
“Great! You are my friend from now on. Welcome to Europe!”
Cantona shook his beard excitedly and reached out to grab the album of the oil painting. “My exhibition room already has a Picasso sketch, so I’m very eager for his oil painting. This album is mine.”
Sir Owen said enviously, “Old friend, congratulations!”
Cantona said, “And I have to thank you for helping me get to know such a big collector as Qin.”
Seeing that Cantona took away the album, everyone else was envious. Joseph said, “Dear Mr. Qin, I also want to exchange these works with you, and I brought you one of the bronze sculpted heads of the 12 zodiac animals, but there’s one thing I need to tell you first.
“My bronze sculpted head was handed down by my ancestors and has always been stored in the collection of the Joseph family. But I don’t know why there is one like this in the museum of Huaxia.
“I think my bronze sculpted head is authentic, so I want Mr. Qin to have a look. If you don’t mind, we can exchange. If you mind, I can only feel sorry.”
Qin Haodong said, “It doesn’t matter, Mr. Joseph. Let me see if I can exchange it.”
He felt that Joseph was a nice person. He had a good impression of his straightforward character.
What’s more, the bronze head was not necessarily the authentic one in the Huaxia museum. For example, the real dragon bronze head sculpture was in his hands, and the one in the museum was forged later.
Joseph asked his appraiser to put the box on the table and took out a rabbit bronze head sculpture.
Qin Haodong’s Spirit sensed it. Sure enough, there was a faint fluctuation of seal on the rabbit bronze head sculpture. It seemed that this one was real, and the one in the museum was replicated later.
He went over and played with the rabbit bronze head sculpture in his hand. He glanced at Joseph, who was a little nervous, and said, “I like this rabbit bronze head sculpture very much. No matter whether it’s real or fake, I’m willing to exchange it with you.”
“Great, Qin. This is really good news.”
Joseph came over and hugged Qin Haodong, and kissed him hard on his forehead.
He had always longed for a Picasso’s painting, and his heart had never been at ease on the way here. Now that everything was fine, he could finally formally exchange it.
He gave the bronze sculpted head to Qin Haodong and chose the album of children.
Two out of the three had completed the exchange, leaving only Gompos behind.
