There is no human image visible on the canvas! Nor can we see the seductive beauty of young women!
However, Ye Tian could clearly feel that this painting was extremely tense and passionate, giving people endless room for imagination.
In Jacqueline's dark and fine hair, Ye Tian saw two tiny capital letters 'P.P'. Not only were they extremely small, they were also very cleverly hidden, making them almost impossible to detect.
‘P.P’ is the abbreviation of Picasso, which is his personal signature. This abbreviation can be seen on many of his paintings.
Although it has long been determined that this oil painting was painted by Picasso, the moment he saw these two letters, Ye Tian still felt a burst of ecstasy and excitement in his heart!
After secretly celebrating, he immediately looked at another Picasso painting and continued to see through it.
Soon, he also discovered Picasso's signature on the oil painting.
This time it was even more cleverly hidden. It was actually hidden under the surface paint. The two capital letters 'p.p' were also very small and light in font color. They were completely covered by the surface paint and could not be seen from the surface of the painting.
If Ye Tian had not been able to see through, it would have been impossible to discover this signature.
As for how this signature was left, through perspective, Ye Tian understood it instantly.
Picasso painted on this canvas twice. After the first painting was completed and signed in the lower right corner, he felt unsatisfied and then shoveled the newly completed painting!
When he reached the signature spot in the lower right corner, I don’t know if he had an idea or a prank, but he actually kept the signature and completely covered it with paint.
After he finished painting on the canvas for the second time and recognized himself, he did not sign the surface of the painting, leaving an unsigned painting to the world and leaving many questions.
If you put this oil painting under modern inspection equipment, conduct a perspective magnification scan, and then observe carefully, you will definitely be able to find this signature.
But it is a pity that the previous owners of this painting could not have thought of this, and thus they all missed this extraordinary and top-notch work of art!
Ye Tian knew very well what these signatures meant.
With these two signatures, there will be no doubt about the identity of the two paintings, and their value will definitely soar.
Francois previously asked for 30 million U.S. dollars per painting, but now it is likely to double, and may even exceed the 100 million U.S. dollar mark.
You must find a way to get these two paintings, and you must not miss these two treasures!
In an instant, Ye Tian had made up his mind, very firmly.
The three art fraudsters in front of me are not qualified to own such top-notch art!
As for how to deal with the three art fraudsters, it depends on Mr. Liu's will. The decision is in his hands. After all, he is the party involved and it is not good to overstep his authority!
That’s right! That's art fraud.
Ye Tian is very sure that the two French guys in front of him and Boss Song are all liars. They have joined forces to set up a game and plan to kill Mr. Liu, a famous collector, as a fat sheep and make a huge profit!
The reason why he was chosen as the target of the deception is that Mr. Liu is only half an antiques insider and his appraisal ability is relatively average.
The more important reason is that he is too rich and too generous with his purchases. In more than a year, he has sold out more than ten to two billion yuan in major auction houses. ?
It is absolutely impossible for these antique art fraudsters to imagine that these five paintings actually contain authentic works by Picasso, and there are two of them.
If they knew, they would never bring these two top-notch works of art to China. There are many wealthy people in Europe! There are many people who are willing to spend a lot of money to collect top-notch art!
In the Western art market, Picasso's works have always been very popular and are undoubtedly the top collections. Once released, they will definitely attract many famous collectors to pursue them crazily.
Even if you want to evade taxes and avoid being robbed by the French government, you can still choose Russian and Middle Eastern tycoons!
They are also eager for Picasso's paintings. If they are sold to them, the price may not be as high as Mr. Liu's, or even higher! There is no problem in cooperating with tax evasion.
There should be another reason why these two French scammers came to China to defraud.
When it comes to collecting Western antiques and art, Chinese collectors have not yet formed a climate. They do not have a deep understanding of Western antiques and art, and their appraisal skills are also lacking. There are not many authoritative appraisal experts.
It is for these reasons that the two French guys came to China to defraud and chose the fat sheep Mr. Liu.
In their opinion, it is basically impossible for anyone to identify the authenticity of these paintings. As long as the preparations are done well, this trip will definitely make a lot of money.
But what these scammers never expected was that they would meet Ye Tian here, a top antique art appraisal expert who was said to be both Chinese and Western, with extremely sharp eyesight. They were so unlucky!
If you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts! I can’t deceive the ancients!
Perspective completed! Ye Tian immediately withdrew his gaze and continued to listen to Francois' introduction with a smile, looking very attentive!
It took less than two minutes for Francois, a Frenchman, to introduce five paintings.
Immediately afterwards, he said to Ye Tian and Mr. Liu with a smile:
"Gentlemen, you can proceed with the appraisal. After you have completed the appraisal, we will discuss the transaction!"
Hearing this, Mr. Liu immediately looked at Ye Tian to see what he meant.
Ye Tian chuckled, shook his head, and said calmly:
"No need to do any more appraisals, Mr. Francois, when you introduced these paintings, my appraisals were already completed!"
"Hiss——!"
The two French guys and Boss Song took a deep breath, secretly shocked!
It’s only been a few minutes! I actually identified five oil paintings. Are they real or fake? Don't be bragging, right?
Not only them, Mr. Liu was also surprised and somewhat unbelievable.
But he did not speak out loud, but chose to completely believe Ye Tian.
After a short pause, Ye Tian turned to Mr. Liu and said with a smile:
"Mr. Liu, this is an art transaction between the two of you. Logically speaking, I am only responsible for appraisal and providing you with reference opinions. I should not be involved in this transaction!
But today's situation is quite special. I hope to negotiate this deal on your behalf. Please give me full trust and please rest assured that I am confident enough to control everything! "
"No problem, Xiaoye, you can fully represent me. It's up to you to decide what to do!"
Mr. Liu answered very simply without any hesitation.
The three swindlers were completely dumbfounded, and their faces instantly became extremely ugly, as if they were their dead fathers!
"Mr. Ye, isn't this against the rules?"
Boss Song said with a sullen face, his eyes quite flustered.
"Haha, rules? Do you still know how to follow the rules? It's not easy! Don't talk about the rules, otherwise everyone will break up and it will not look good!"
Ye Tian said with a sneer, his eyes full of disdain, without any concealment, ready to fall out at any time!
After finishing speaking, he immediately turned to look at Francois and said:
"Mr. Francois, you also heard the conversation just now. I am now fully authorized to represent Mr. Liu to discuss this art transaction with you!
Quote your price! To be honest, I am very curious as to what price you would offer for these so-called paintings from Picasso’s pastoral period. I am all ears! "
Seeing this situation, these three liars didn't know that the **** on the other side had already seen through the tricks of the three of them!
One word comes true! Ye Tian (Steven), that **** bastard, is just closing the door and beating the dog. He and the others can't escape even if they want to.
The two sturdy men guarding the door could KO three of them in an instant! Rushing over is just seeking death!
What a bad time! It's so unlucky that I met this cruel bastard!
The three swindlers cursed Ye Tian crazily in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything to him.
Situation is stronger than people! Francois could only bite the bullet and continue to perform.
"Okay! Mr. Ye, we have previously sent Mr. Liu a quotation for these five top-notch works of art, and Mr. Liu should be very clear about it.
The price of these two paintings is US$30 million, and the remaining three paintings are US$10 million each. A total of US$90 million. I wonder if you can accept it? "
After speaking, Francois looked at Ye Tian with a nervous expression and a hint of expectation.
The other two liars were the same, their eyes were full of worry and fear, but they could not suppress their greedy desires.
Mr. Liu has stayed out of the incident and completely turned into a bystander, folding his arms and watching the excitement, with excitement in his eyes!
Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Tian immediately smiled and shook his head and said:
"The money is not much, and it is nothing to Mr. Liu. He can pay it out at any time, but are these paintings worth the price?
In my opinion, the last four zeros should be removed. Five paintings cost $9,000, which is a relatively reasonable price. It’s enough to buy two direct flights to Paris! "
"Pfft!"
Mr. Liu burst out laughing and couldn't help it.
The faces of the three liars have become extremely ugly, with purple in the black, and anger gushing out of their eyes, almost rushing up to beat Ye Tian.
Of course, they have to dare!
"Nine thousand dollars! That's impossible! Mr. Ye, are you kidding us? If your offer is really like this, there is no need for us to continue talking!"
Francois said angrily, gritting his teeth.
"I'm not kidding you! I'm not in the mood to joke with you. You heard me right. This is my quote, nine thousand dollars, not a penny more!
And you must talk to me about this business. There is no choice or any way out! Unless you want to talk to the art crime and fraud police.
You have done this kind of game a lot, right? I don’t think Mr. Liu is the only one you’ve targeted. I’m sure someone may have become your victim and they’re still keeping it in the dark!
If you enter the police station, I don’t think there is a chance that you will come out. What is waiting for you next? I think you know it very well! "
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, but his voice was very cold, with a murderous intent.
"Ah!"
The expressions of the three swindlers changed drastically, and they immediately screamed, their voices full of fear.
Of course they know what they have done!
Once those dirty deeds are exposed, the police will definitely not let them go. They also know very well what kind of fate they will face next.
There is absolutely no other possibility except to sit through the prison!
Mr. Liu was obviously frightened by these words and looked at Ye Tian in stunned silence! While I was shocked, I also kept calling for luck!
