So much so that Anthony's two remaining paintings caused a small-scale looting, and the prices were also raised very high.

Originally two very ordinary paintings of medium size, they were hyped up to a high price of 200,000 yuan in the end. Such a price is really nothing to those well-known big painters.

But for a newcomer like Anthony, this is already a very remarkable achievement.

The auction ended like this, and Jin Muchen didn't have the heart to stay here. Judy and Maria kept inviting him to go out and have fun, but Jin Muchen rejected them one by one.

At the end of the exhibition, his work on helping Helen is over. Now he doesn't want to have too much relationship with this girl. On the one hand, it is because of her relationship with Candace that Jin Muchen has to worry, and on the other hand, it is also because Every time I meet this girl, it seems that I always encounter some unexpected troubles.

For example, the last time I was with her, I ran into those western cowboys, and in the end I ran into an old black who was desperate for money, and this time I ran into an inexplicable crazy woman who wanted to compete with her for jealousy.

In short, she and herself are completely different worlds. She is the kind of high-class lady who can attract news anytime, anywhere, and she is more inclined to live her own peaceful life.

"You'd better ensure that your previous judgment is accurate. If I lose the bet, you wait for me."

Helen drove Jin Muchen to a parking lot in Manhattan, and before letting Jin Muchen get out of the car to pick up the car, she said to him, and she waved her delicate little fist in front of him while she was talking.

"I can be responsible for my judgment, but the bet between you and that Casey is none of my business. I didn't instigate you to bet with her, everything is of your own accord, the grievance between you Don't get me involved, okay?"

Jin Muchen rolled his eyes helplessly, even though he knew that women were unreasonable, he couldn't help but defend himself.

"Humph! You can't even think about it, you just left yourself so easily. I don't think you know what you said. If I didn't trust your judgment, I wouldn't bet against that Casey. Anyway, since you did If you are my advisor, you will be responsible to the end."

"Okay. Whatever you want."

Jin Muchen shook his head helplessly, opened the car door, just before getting out of the car, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I have completed the work of the investment consultant this time. When can you contact me, the Mr. Patton you said?"

The reason why Helen agreed this time was entirely because the house Helen showed him was very much in line with his wishes.

After going back a few days. He studied the house several times on Google Maps, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. The conditions are very in line with his heart, and he can find such a place in the bustling Manhattan. But it's really not that easy.

The more he looked at the house, the more satisfied he became, so before he left, he couldn't help but say another word to Helen.

"I promise you, you can rest assured. I will call you in two days. Seriously, you should really thank me, you know that I saved you a lot of agency fees. "

Helen pouted and said, Jin Muchen turned her head.

"Didn't I also save you a lot of consulting fees?"

"What? You bastard, what were you talking about?"

"boom..."

Jin Muchen closed the door and got out of the car in a hurry. . .

Carrying those three paintings back to Flushing. For the next few days, he stayed at Uncle Fang's house and didn't go there.

During the day, he slept until he woke up naturally, and then learned some knowledge about antiques with Fang Bo. At night, he chatted with Candace on the phone, and he lived a happy life.

This day, he got up at ten o'clock in the morning. Uncle Fang had already gone downstairs to open the door to do business. He cooked himself a hearty breakfast in the restaurant on the second floor.

As soon as I warmed up the milk for myself, a phone call came in, and I took a look at the number, and it happened to be Helen who called in.

"Turn on the TV and watch Fox's entertainment channel..."

At Helen's urging, Jin Muchen turned on the TV slowly, just as the entertainment channel was broadcasting an urgent message.

"In the early hours of this morning, in room **** of Manhattan's xxxx building, the police found a body... It was confirmed that the deceased was Anthony Wise, a cutting-edge painter who had just made a name for himself in the American oil painting industry. The police preliminarily determined the cause of Anthony's death. Drug overdose, heart attack... Anthony's paintings are famous for hyper-realism... His works have won many awards... Many famous people in the art world, Everyone is shocked by this news, please see the interview with Anthony's friend in a hurry below."

"Oh my God! This is really unacceptable, Anthony is such a talented painter, I can't believe he just left us..."

This is a somewhat bald old man. The name is indicated at the bottom of the screen, and there is a name in front of it. It turns out that this guy is the manager of the Fairy Tale Gallery.

"My God! Are you telling the truth? You said Anthony. Wise was dead? That...that Anthony. Wise?"

This is a female painter who should be quite famous in the American oil painting industry, but Jin Muchen didn't know her before today. Seeing her crying face in front of the camera, she must have a good relationship with Anthony.

After that, some celebrities were interviewed and appeared one after another, but these interviewees, without exception, expressed their shock and regret at Anthony's death.

Of course, I don't know how true or false these statements are. Jin Muchen watched TV and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

In fact, when he saw the state of Anthony that day, he felt that the guy should die soon. He was taking drugs, his body was weak, and he seemed to have hidden illnesses.

It stands to reason that he should remind him a few words, but he and Anthony are just nodding acquaintances. Even Anthony does not know his own name. How can he remind him?

So about Anthony's ending, he had already predicted that day, but he just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"Hey! Are you still there, Mu Chen?"

Helen on the other end of the phone asked.

"Well, still..."

"Have you read the news?"

"Well, I just saw it, what a pity, such a talented painter."

"Yeah...but...I want to ask you then, did you already see that his health was very bad that day?"

"Is there any need to ask? Anyone with eyes can see that his health is very bad... Well, Helen, you called me so early, shouldn't you be discussing this topic?"

"Um... Yes, I don't think we should be too entangled in this talented painter. I just want to tell you that you have made a fortune, um, I seem to have made a little bit of money too. I should say, we got rich."

"yes?"

"That's right, I'm talking about Anthony's paintings. You are in the antiques business, so you should know some unspoken rules in the oil painting industry. Some painters, even if they were not valued in their lifetime, were not well-known, but once he As soon as his life returns to the West, his works are likely to become popular. Especially for young and well-known painters like Anthony, who have a bright future, but because of such unexpected events, they can no longer create new works. The paintings that they have left in the world are the only remaining works of them, and once their artistic status is affirmed, the prices of their works will definitely rise sharply. I just received some news, now Anthony The price of his paintings has doubled in the oil painting market. And I heard that Fairy Tale Gallery has changed the original plan. They plan to take advantage of the news boom created by Anthony this time. Anthony picked it up. They have contacted some members of the American Art Association. They heard that Anthony's paintings will definitely be invited to participate in the tour of the United States this year. Once the exhibition is over, some of his works will be collected by the National Gallery. By that time, the value of his paintings will definitely go up, five to ten times. It is not impossible. I just asked my father's investment advisor, and he said that my investment will do it. It is very cost-effective. He has seen Anthony's paintings, and according to his estimation, once Anthony's status is determined, the value of his oil paintings will at least increase tenfold~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Helen said on the other end of the phone. Many, but Jin Muchen's heart is strange.

It stands to reason that investing in works of art should be a happy thing, but this kind of death makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Do you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart?"

Helen on the other end of the phone seemed to be able to read minds, but Jin Muchen could only nod to admit it.

"Yes, although making a fortune is a happy thing, but is it appropriate to make a fortune like this?"

"Listen, there's nothing wrong with Mu Chen? Since Anthony signed with Fairy Tale Gallery, he's sold himself to the gallery. The gallery has invested a lot of money in him. Of course, they can't make no money, right? Besides, this kind of thing is nothing in a business society like the United States? Think about the mj of the year, after he died, was it not fired by Sony again? And Paul, who had a car accident some time ago, When he died, didn't that movie Fast 7 make a lot of money with his name? In a business society like the United States, this is not a bad thing?"
