Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 673 Notification
Mrs. Hannah's family runs the shipping industry, and she herself has a lot of leisure time because of retirement and her children are doing a good job, and she can also pursue some things she is interested in, such as art.

In Europe, it has been a trend that has lasted for hundreds of years for ladies to hold salons to receive celebrities, scholars or artists. Many famous artists in history first became famous after being recognized by these ladies.

The same is true of Mrs. Hannah. As a widow who has money and leisure, and her children and grandchildren are also very worry-free, she spends a lot of her time holding art salons.

Moreover, Mrs. Hannah's appreciation of art is definitely an expert level, and she has a keen sense of smell in art and is very generous when investing.

For example, she bought the ancient Egyptian-style turquoise jewelry made by Liang En at that time, and she also bought many artworks painted by Liang En.

As for the reason why Mrs. Hannah did so, it is also very simple, because she feels that these works of art have the demeanor of art masters, and they are worth collecting no matter in terms of pure aesthetic value or investment value.

You must know that Liang En was not well-known in art at that time, but because of his extraordinary strength, he was indeed able to reach the master level in some art.

It's just that not many people noticed this at the time, so it's a remarkable thing that Mrs. Hannah can be discerning in that situation.

Because considering that the personal assistant of Mrs. Hannah is actually equivalent to her butler, she controls a lot of things in Hannah's family, and can even monitor the content of their discussions.

So Liang En and the others needed some tricks to meet Mrs. Hannah without being a personal assistant. For example, inviting Mrs. Hannah to visit Liang En's recent artistic creation was a good excuse.

As Liang En and the others guessed before, of course, when he said that he had painted a very good oil painting and wanted her to appreciate it, the old lady Hannah came to the studio where Liang En and the others were in the first place in her car.

This studio is actually one of the three studios owned by the jewelry company in London. It has been occupied by Liang En and Joan of Arc recently. Before that, both painting and jewelry design were done in this studio.

For a high-end jewelry company whose main direction is design, this kind of occasion for artistic creation is also a must-have facility. The original designs of many famous jewelry were born in such studios.

Liang En, as the highest-ranking designer, naturally has the right to use the studio for free, and at the same time enjoys the highest priority to use and free catering and accommodation services.

"I heard that you have created another very good work, let me have a look." After everyone sat down at the coffee table, Mrs. Hannah said excitedly.

"Of course, this is a portrait of Joan of Arc I painted." Liang En walked to the next room, and carefully hung the painting on the wooden shelf.

"Perfect! This is really a perfect work." Looking at the painting in front of her, Mrs. Hannah's eyes widened suddenly, and she walked directly to the canvas and sighed.

"I have never seen this kind of oil painting that can be seen to contain multiple styles but can be perfectly integrated. This is definitely a top oil painting that can enter the museum."

Among the various painting arts in the Western world, oil painting has the highest status, so after seeing the oil paintings created by Liang En, Mrs. Hannah showed an unprecedentedly excited expression.

"Are you willing to sell this painting? If so, I'm willing to pay 120 million pounds - no, 150 million pounds for your painting."

"I'm sorry, ma'am, this is a gift from me to my friend, and it's not for sale." Liang En smiled and politely declined Mrs. Hannah's purchase request, and then asked curiously. "But is this thing really worth that much money?"

"Of course, of course, I can see that you should incorporate the artistic styles of Mucha, Gaudí and Nicola Feschen, and after all these things are integrated, a new style that takes into account multiple styles is formed. art form."

"I guess you have been preparing for this painting for a long time, because what this painting embodies is already a mature body of this artistic style, but you have never seen similar works of art before."

"That is to say, your work can be regarded as the first work of a new art form, and this art form does not go too far, but is more in line with the taste of the public, so it is purely from an investment point of view. A painting is worth the price."

"Of course, I actually want to take a small advantage when I buy it now. Because in my opinion, these artistic creations of yours will be recognized by the public in a short period of time, and there will be great potential and room for appreciation in the future. "

It takes a real lover much longer to appreciate oil paintings than ordinary people imagine. For example, this oil painting of Mrs. Hannah took a full half an hour to appreciate.

"Okay, I've pretty much admired this masterpiece. You can also tell me what you want to do with me this time." After taking a last look at the oil painting, Mrs. Hannah returned to her original seat Ask Liang En and Nelson.

Mrs. Hannah could naturally see that Liang En and the others invited themselves over for something.After all, with Liang En's habit, it is impossible to invite friends to come and appreciate after his own creation.

Although Mrs. Hannah seems to be just a rich and idle person now, she was in charge of her company for more than ten years after her husband died young before handing it over to her son smoothly, so it is not that kind of vase.

Therefore, she found something was wrong as soon as she entered the door, but considering that Liang En and the others chose this method, it should mean that the matter was not urgent, so she only asked Liang En and the others why they invited her after appreciating the oil painting.

"The situation is like this—" After exchanging glances with each other, Liang En stepped forward and began to explain his discovery, which included detailed evidence and his own conjecture.

"Is that so?" Ten minutes later, after Liang En finished explaining the clues he and Nelson had found, Mrs. Hannah took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa. "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that there would be such a person under my men."

As someone who used to be in charge of a huge multinational company, Mrs. Hannah immediately understood that the news Liang En and the others brought should be true.

And this conclusion obviously made Mrs. Hannah feel frustrated, because according to her habit, these personal assistants will study by her side for a few years and become the backbone of the future company, so such a situation of betrayal by someone she is optimistic about makes her feel Very frustrated.

"Give me those materials. I'll take care of the next thing, so I don't need to bother you." After sorting out her mood, Mrs. Hannah sat up, and said to Liang En and the others seriously.

For this strong woman who once struggled in the mall, the stimulation of betrayal brought her back to her youth, and she felt that she could immediately devote herself to the next work.
