At this time, the strangeness of the concept of coming from a different culture was reflected. Originally, Jin Muchen felt uncomfortable about this matter, but Helen on the other side didn't seem to care about such a thing. network
"Why do you say it's not a bad thing?"
Jin Muchen couldn't help but ask a question.
"I know you may think that those businesses, after everyone else is dead, still hype like this, is it morally unscrupulous? But have you thought about it? By doing this, at least a lot of people can remember those who passed away. People? And for some fans, they also need this kind of hype to make them miss their idols for the last time! And businesses can make money through such hype, and let people remember those who have passed away , this is not a win-win, is it good?"
Helen's theory made Jin Muchen feel a bit of a heartbreak. Although it was a little difficult to accept emotionally, he calmed down and thought about it, as if what people said was indeed so reasonable.
"Well, what you said seems to make some sense."
"Also, I want to remind you to keep the paintings you bought last time. Your paintings are of large size, and they are the most popular ones in the oil painting market. So your paintings have great potential for appreciation. , even bigger than mine. If someone talks to you about an acquisition and offers you a price that's ten times lower than the original price, you don't even think about it."
Helen's reminder was very warm at that time, and Jin Muchen felt a little warmer in her heart.
"Thank you for the reminder, I got it!"
"By the way, I'm calling you this, and one more thing, about that house. Haha, thank you for helping me win the bet with Casey. You know what? I just called Casey. Just a phone call, the woman was so **** off, the maiden sailing rights of her yacht are mine..."
Helen's tone was very excited, and she said a lot on the other end of the phone. But Jin Muchen didn't hear a word.
"Well, very good, then tell me about that house?"
"Oh! God, you're such a spoiler, you're a topic killer, do you know that? Mu Chen. I really don't know how you caught Candace."
Being interrupted by Jin Muchen like this, Helen was helpless.
"I'll call Mr. Barton later, believe me, there will be news about that house soon, you just have to prepare the money. Also, I would like to remind you that although the relationship between our family and Mr. Barton is still It’s not bad, but business is business, and he can’t give you a special discount because of his relationship with our family.”
"Well, I see! Is there anything else?"
Jin Muchen's tone was rather cold.
"there is none left!"
Helen hung up the phone with some emotion.
"Mu Chen, someone is looking for it!"
Just after breakfast was over, Uncle Fang's voice came from downstairs. Jin Muchen hurriedly put the dishes into the sink, and then went downstairs after finishing them.
Uncle Fang watched him come down, and winked at him, his expression was a little crazy, and Jin Muchen was full of confusion.
But when he saw the visitor, he finally knew why Fang Bo had such an expression on him.
"Hello. I'm Jesse, Barnes. Nice to meet you, Mr. King."
"Hello, I'm Jin Muchen. I'm also very happy to meet you. By the way, are you sent by Christie's?"
Jin Muchen and the beautiful woman across from them stretched out their hands and shook hands, and then asked.
The opposite is definitely a dazzling beauty, who can be more than 1.7 meters tall, wearing a straight work suit, and looks extra slender. Temperament is capable.
With almost silver-white shiny blond hair, and the snow-white skin on his face that can be broken by bullets, these alone can make many men's heart pounding.
This is a beautiful woman with a Nordic style. Inside her deep eye sockets are a pair of eyes that are close to emerald green, and the bridge of her nose is high, which makes the outline of her face appear very three-dimensional.
And the right small mouth, coupled with the dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiles, makes the lines on her face not as stiff and soft as most Nordic beauties.
Jin Muchen has known quite a few western beauties so far, Candice and Helen are typical of them, but the beauty in front of her is no different than Candice and Helen in terms of style.
Even compared to the two of them, they are a little more tough, capable and mature.
"Why do you ask?"
Jesse opposite. When Barnes heard Jin Muchen's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked him with a smile.
"Aren't you sent by Christie's?"
Jin Muchen took the lead, feeling very embarrassed. Before that, Andre from Christie's said that he would go back and contact the experts to show himself the mahogany table. It's been almost a month.
The people from Sotheby's came to take the black lacquered gold box away, but the people from Christie's hadn't shown up yet, so it's no wonder that they can only be ranked second in the millennium at the auction house.
When Fang Bo called himself downstairs just now, saying that someone was looking for it, Jin Muchen thought that Christie's had finally enlightened and sent someone over?
Who would have thought that people would not be in the same business as Christie's at all!
"No, I'm not from Christie's, I'm a freelance...agent...that's right, actually the owner of the house you frequent, Rick. Barnes is my father..."
"Oh! It's Rick's daughter!"
Jin Muchen couldn't help but suddenly realized, but immediately became strange, what did Rick's daughter want to do with him?
But looking at the woman, it's really hard to imagine that Rick can have such a beautiful daughter. Just looking at the eyes, the two father and daughter are not alike at all.
"May I ask you to come to me..."
"Oh? That's it..."
"Well, sorry, look at me... let's go upstairs and talk..."
Jin Muchen saw that there was not even a place to sit downstairs. At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly. It turned out that a guest came to the door. Uncle Fang stepped forward to greet the guest. It seemed inconvenient for him and Jesse to stand and talk, so he Take Jesse and go upstairs.
Let Jesse sit down on the sofa, he went to make a cup of coffee for Jesse, and then sat across from Jesse.
"Tell me, how can I help you?"
"Well, that's it. I heard that you took about five Anthony. Wise paintings at the Fairy Tale Gallery's charity sale the other day?"
Jin Muchen was refreshed immediately. I really didn't expect that Anthony just died over there, and someone here came to the door?
"Yes, I took five pictures."
"That's great, Mr. Jin, do you intend to sell it? Let me tell you the truth? I have a client who happens to be very interested in Anthony's paintings. If you are willing to sell, the price is negotiable."
Jesse speaks in the same style as she dresses, concise, capable and direct!
As soon as I came up, I went straight to the topic. Jin Muchen also likes this way of business negotiation, which can save everyone time.
"I also, I really didn't think about these things too much. You must have heard that Mr. Anthony passed away suddenly in the early hours of this morning."
"Yes, I heard about it. I'm sorry, my client happens to be a fan of realist painters, and has been paying attention to this Mr. Anthony. Wise, I didn't expect him to pass away suddenly in this way. , It was very sudden, and my client felt very regretful, so this time he wanted to acquire a few paintings by Mr. Anthony to show respect for this painter."
Although these words sounded nice, Jin Muchen didn't take it seriously at all.
Who doesn't know what's going on? It's not because of the death of others, and the potential of the works to appreciate, so they jump up, do you want to get a bargain?
"Well, I don't have any special hobbies for Mr. Anthony's paintings. If your client is willing to buy them, as long as he can come up with a price that makes me tempted, there is nothing that can't be discussed."
"That's good..."
There was a smile on Jesse's face, and this time her smile wasn't polite, but heartfelt.
"We have also done some research before, Mr. Jin, the paintings you bought that day are basically large oil paintings of 4 feet by 2 feet. The average purchase price is about 62,000 US dollars, and the five paintings cost a total of Around 310,000, am I right?"
It seems that this Jesse really did his homework carefully before coming, Jin Muchen nodded.
"Yeah, that's about it!"
"Well, since you are willing to sell, Mr. Jin, my client is willing to buy these paintings at twice the original price. Do you think you are satisfied with these conditions?"
Jesse's initial offer is just a test~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But at such a price, Jin Muchen is definitely not satisfied. Although the other party is a beautiful woman, Jin Muchen does not have the habit of giving the other party a discount because the negotiating opponent is a beautiful woman.
As Helen said on the phone before, business is business!
"Come on! Miss Jesse, let's stop going in circles. I'm not interested in who your clients are, but why you would come to me to buy these paintings, I think we all know. Anthony died suddenly, Fairy Tale Gallery They must not be reconciled to their early investment, so it is certain that Anthony's paintings will participate in the US tour exhibition this year, and it is also certain that they will be collected by the National Gallery. Maybe two years later, a certain president will also grant him the president. Medal of Freedom, I think many presidents would be willing to do this. So you said that the price you just offered was right? An officially recognized painter, and due to sudden illness, the number of paintings in existence is rare, so I think the market is right What kind of reaction will his work be? Miss Jesse, you are also a professional, you should be as clear as me, right?"
Jin Muchen was taken aback by Jesse's next action, she actually stretched out her delicate red tongue and licked her lips. (To be continued.) xh118
