Chapter 1609: 1609. Buying and Selling Paintings
The magician glanced at the oil painting, nodded and said, "Of course, everything here is mine, what's wrong?"
Sandler smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that these oil paintings look pretty good, are they famous paintings?"
The magic hand looked at him with the eyes of a fool, and said, "Are you blind? These are ordinary oil paintings for decoration. They are famous paintings!"
Being insulted, Sandler was even angrier, but after hearing these words, he felt excited again: The magician didn't know the value of these paintings, he didn't buy this warehouse for these oil paintings!
This made him see the light of hope. Stein and Gasol had promised them that the oil paintings in this container were priceless!
They believed the two men because they risked being arrested to come back to get the oil painting, and the two were arrested because of it.
But the three of them didn't know exactly which oil painting was valuable. The two Steins, who knew about it, were taken away by the police, their mobile phones and other communication tools were confiscated, and the two parties could not be contacted.
Sandler winked at the two friends, who had already made plans, and a series of topics began to revolve around oil paintings.
The magician folded his arms and listened to their nonsense. He couldn't help it halfway. He said, "You think I'm stupid? What's the matter with this oil painting? Did you see something?"
This made the three of Sandler anxious, but they still couldn't show it.
Sandler said: "Who knows what these oil paintings are? I just think they are pretty good-looking. They seem to be from famous artists. Isn't Chris Bell on the boat? He is very accomplished in oil painting appraisal, you can ask ask him."
The reason for saying this is that Sandler is convinced that Bell does not see the value of these paintings. When communicating with Stein before, he once boasted that except for the two of them and a few people, no one in the world knows the true identity of this painting.
Bell, who was leading people to pack the containers, was called over. Indeed, he shook his head after carefully looking at these oil paintings: "It's nothing interesting, they are all graffiti, and they are worthless."
Sandler said casually: "I think they are very good, Johnson, how about you resell them to me? I have a new house, and I just need a few oil paintings to decorate."
The magician squinted at him and said, "How many oil paintings are missing to decorate the house? You can go to the street or the Seattle Academy of Fine Arts, where you can buy a bunch of oil paintings for a hundred dollars."
Sandler said with a smile: "I like the style of these oil paintings. They use bold colors and have a kind of arrogant and fierce beauty, just like my character. How about it, would you sell it to me?"
The magic hand stroked his chin, and after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, it's okay to sell it to you."
Sandler was overjoyed, and this joy almost broke through his suppression and expressed it forcefully.
The magician continued: "But in terms of price, we have to talk about it. How about a painting of 100,000 yuan?"
Hearing this quotation, Sandler almost wanted to scold his mother. The joy in his heart disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help shouting to the magician: "One painting is one hundred thousand? Are you crazy, buddy? Whose painting do you think this is?" ? Picasso? Monet? Van Gogh?"
The magician said calmly: "If this is a painting by Picasso, Monet, or Van Gogh, do you think I will quote a million yuan? Don't put on airs, Sandler, we are all acquaintances, and we all know each other. Personality, these paintings must be valuable, but I can't see it, but you can see it, in short, you don't want to bleed, don't even try to take them away."
Sandler glared at him and said, "Believe it or not, these paintings have a fart value, I just like them!"
Bell nodded and said, "I won't be mistaken, Johnson, these paintings are of little value."
The magic hand shook his head firmly: "I won't doubt your vision, Chris, I don't understand these paintings either, but I understand human nature, these paintings must be useful to them, one is 100,000 yuan, whether you like it or not! "
Sandler exclaimed: "Okay, I admit that you are right, but you are taking advantage of others! These paintings are valuable to us, but not because they are masterpieces or valuable, but because they are one of us who died. The paintings of my painter friends, we are here for them in this auction!"
Hearing what he said, the magician asked suspiciously: "Really?"
With a sad expression on his face, Sandler told a past event that made the listener sad and the hearer cry.
Li Du also showed a sad expression when he heard it, and he persuaded: "Forget it, buddy, sell these paintings to him, it's cheaper, don't ask for one hundred thousand, it's really a bit expensive..."
Sandler nodded again and again, and Li Du continued: "It's cheaper, 50,000 a piece."
Sandler, who was nodding, was so angry that he wanted to hit someone when he heard this!
His attitude made the magician feel very dissatisfied, and he said: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, so how much do you want to pay?"
Sandler said, "How about a thousand dollars for a painting?"
The magic hand sneered directly: "Are you dreaming? I might as well keep it in my hand at such a low price. To be honest, if you want to buy, there are a total of 18 paintings here, each of which costs 10,000 yuan, a total of 180,000 yuan." ,Do you want?"
Sandler shook his head vigorously, and the magician went up to pick up the painting: "That's fine."
The South American stepped forward to hold Sandler and sighed: "Forget it, brother, these paintings are priceless to us, don't say it, let's buy it."
Then, he turned his head and said to the magician, "Johnson, 180,000 is too high, let's say 150,000. This is our reserve price."
The magic hand insisted: "180,000, do you want it or not!"
South Americans are also angry and want to hit people!
The magic hand insisted on this price, and the three had no choice but to buy it at this price in the end.
But they gave an additional condition, they had to inspect the container, and if there were friends' oil paintings inside, they had to pack them up and take them away, the total price was 180,000.
The magic hand fully agreed, and Sandler paid 180,000 yuan by debit, then quickly packed up the paintings, and took two companions into the container to search carefully.
After searching for a long time, they finally determined that there were no oil paintings left in the container, which meant that they had achieved their goal.
When they were satisfied and packed up the oil painting and were about to leave, Li Du called out: "Hey, I still have a painting here, are you interested in buying it?"
The three of Sandler turned their heads in surprise, and then saw Li Du take out an oil painting depicting a large number of flowers from behind some boxes.
Li Du said with a smile: "Just now when Johnson took out a bunch of oil paintings from the box, I thought this one was very beautiful, so I paid for it first. Are you interested in taking it over?"
